Page 6 of Such a Good Girl

“Four,” he said, finally giving in, a small smile stretching across his face.

“Dude, seriously? Does she know who you are?”

“Are you implying she’s only seeing me because she doesn’t know who I am?”

“Well, yeah, kinda,” I laughed. “I mean, does she know about Profane and everything else?”

“Of course not!” He looked offended that I’d asked. “What the hell did we just talk about?”

“I’m asking because if she knew what went on there, she might not be up for going out with you. This shit isn’t for everyone and you know that.”

“Shut the fuck up, man,” he said. “I’m not talking about her anymore.”

“He’s got it bad, dude, I saw him dancing after he got off the phone with her when he thought I wasn’t watching,” Rian piped up.

“Dancing? What the fuck?” I shot an incredulous look over at Theo. Despite owning a night club where lots of dancing occurred, Theo did not dance.

“You’re fucked,” I said. “If you get a fucking girlfriend, you’re done for. Why would you do that? I thought you were just going to fuck her once, that’s why I encouraged it.”

“Should I be more like you, Foster?” he asked, sarcastically.

“Well, yeah,” I answered, seriously. “I have all my needs met now. Fuck marriage, fuck relationships. Now that I’m divorced from Danika, I can focus on recovering from that nightmare. I can do who I want, wherever I want, when I want. You can’t fucking beat that.”

“Whatever, dude, you do you.”

“Love you, too,” I laughed, knowing that was his way of ending the conversation.

“I still want to talk about the film later. I just think —.”

The buzz of my phone interrupted me and when I saw it was Derek, I answered quickly.

“Boss, Danika is at the front door.”

I groaned, my stomach knotting instantly. My ex was the last person I wanted to see, let alone talk to.

“She’s insisting on seeing you.”

Danika was the definition of drama. I knew she wasn’t here because she had something nice to tell me. She wanted to stir up shit. That was the only thing she knew how to do.

Derek interpreted my silence correctly. “I’ll send her on her way, boss.”

Danika’s shrill voice broke through the line. “You better fucking let me in, West! Don’t make me call TMZ!”

“Bitch,” I muttered. I was going to need to deal with this in person. “I’ll be right down, Derek.”

“Yes, boss.”

“I gotta go,” I said to Theo and Rian. “It’s fucking Danika.”

“She’s never gonna let you go, West. You need to deal with her, once and for all,” Theo chided as I walked out.

His words echoed in my brain as I trailed through the club to the front door. Theo was right, and I hated that fact more than anything. I just had no idea what else I could do to make her leave me alone.

My gun thudded against my hip as I stomped through the doors of the precinct. Anger roared through my veins.
