"So you're just free to do whatever, and so is he?"
"I... I guess in a way, you can say that."
"In the future, when someone asks you about your family, you should still disclose you're married so people don't make an ass out of themselves." I storm back into the house, and she follows me, calling out my name, but I'm too angry.
I go into the kitchen just as Hunter says, "Well, I've eaten stranger things with Dirk, so bring it on big guy!"
"Don't call him that," Julieta says.
Of course she's going to stand up for Mr. Immortal.
Hunter spins. "You have looked at him, right?"
"Knock it off, Hunter."I'm so tired of his antics today, and I don't need to hear about this guy's anatomy.
"Hey, it's all respect. He makes my six-foot-four frame look tiny." Hunter rises and stands next to Miguel. He points to his torso and waves his finger in a V motion. "Do you see that? That's legit."
Thanks for pointing out how insanely ripped the guy is.Miguel makes our entire team of cut guys look pathetic.
"Now you're acting like he isn't even in the same room as us," Vanessa says.
Miguel takes a step back and says something to Julieta. Vanessa spits her drink out, laughing.
"What did he say?" Hunter asks.
"He wants to know if you're gay and hitting on him." Julieta crosses her arms and raises her eyebrows.
"Tell him that he is and has the hots for him," I say, to give Hunter a taste of his own medicine.
Hunter scowls. "Not funny."
Julieta quickly says something in Spanish, and Miguel leaves the room and comes back with a T-shirt on.
"Seriously? You told him I was checking him out?"
"No. I said I didn't think you were since you've been all over Vanessa the entire time, but I've never asked if you batted on both sides."
Vanessa and I both snicker, and Miguel picks up the knife again.
Still paying zero attention to your wife.
What a dumbass. He let her go and now she's back in the room, and he still doesn't show her the attention she deserves.
She deserves so much better than him.
"Vanessa, are you okay finishing up? I need to talk to Miguel," Julieta asks.
"Sure," Vanessa replies.
Yep. Go talk to your husband, Julieta. Might want to get reacquainted after your four-year freebie hiatus.
How could I be so stupid?
Julieta and Miguel speak, and he walks toward Hunter with the knife straight up in the air.
"Hunter, take the knife," I command.
He reaches for it, and Miguel widens his eyes and jerks his head toward him.
