“Not here, all right? Just go, dance, drink, have a good time. I’ll talk to you next week.”
She nodded before turning and walking away.
“Especially after last week? Please tell me you didn’t?” Sarah stared up at her brother.
Her blue eyes shone in the lights of the club, and I felt gutted at the thought of her looking like she was about to cry.
“Mind your own business, Sunshine. This has fuck all to do with you,” Luke told her, and I actually jerked towards him.
“Mate, don’t talk—” I started, but he cut me off.
“Stay out of it, Del.”
Great, our new business wasn’t even off the ground and I already wanted to knock my colleague the fuck out.
There was an awkward silence amongst the six of us. Madonna’s “Sorry” was aptly being played as I took a few deep breaths.
I’d grown to love Luke like a brother over the previous two years and would trust him with my life, wife, and last dollar, but right then, I wanted to smack him right on the end of his nose for the way he had just spoken to his sister.
“Fuck all to do with her? If it’s got fuck all to do with her, why were you ringing our place at three in the morning, crying in your beer to your little sister over what that slut had done?” All eyes turned to Sasha.
“Yeah, I heard the callsandlistened to the answerphone messages. She was so worried that I had to literally sit on your sister to stop her from flying all the way out to you. So, how the fuck dare you tell her it’s got fuck all to do with her. She was quite prepared to put her life on hold and fly thousands of miles to hold your big fat pussy hand until you got your big fat pussy shit together.”
“Sash—” Sarah tried to interrupt her mate but this girl was on a roll and she wasn’t finished yet.
“No, it needs to be said. That girl’s never been anything but a bitch to you, even when they were together. You warned him about the rumours, we both did. We also told him she’d play up as soon as his back was turned, but he wouldn’t listen. Then when it all came on top, he had the cheek to phone at stupid o’clock, pissed out of his head, and expected you to make it all better.”
She turned her wrath back to Luke. “I love you, Luke Carter, but sometimesyou’rea selfish prick, andallof the time, Melanie Thompson is a spiteful, deceitful whore. You need to wake up to both of those facts.” She took a deep breath before turning to Sarah and adding, “A drink is in order I think?”
“I think you’re right,” Sarah replied as Sasha grabbed her hand and steered them both towards the bar.
“Fuck me, is it wrong that she just gave me a hard-on?” All eyes turned to Dicklan.
“Deck, walk away while you still can. Walk far, far away,” Will told him without taking his eyes from Sarah’s arse as she made her way to the bar.
