with bewilderment. Shifting his eyes between Isaac and I, Travis put the pieces together.
Despite the wild confrontation, I didn¡¯t care about Travis and Isaac fighting. My stomach
swirled with nervousness, fearing we¡¯d be spotted, and I¡¯d endure the consequences by
that terrifying blond man. ¡°Please, Isaac. Can we tal¡ª¡±
¡°Wait¡¡± A twisted grin replaced Isaac¡¯s confusion and he shook his head at Travis.
¡°You¡¯re the fucking idiot who cheated on her!¡± Travis narrowed his eyes at me with an
unreadable face as Isaac continued laughing. Around the diner, people began staring
when Isaac said, ¡°Are you blind? Have you seen this woman? Have you seen yourself?¡±
¡°Isaac, please. Not here, can we¡ª¡±
¡°She¡¯s stunning, forty leagues out of your own¡ª¡±
¡°Sammy, have you slept with this man?¡±
¡°And you cheat on her? What the fuck, man? I wouldn¡¯t even cheat on her and I am
way fuckin¡¯ hotter than you, pal.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t talk to me like that.¡±
¡°Isaac, please just¡¡± I had no idea what was happening, and I didn¡¯t care, I just knew I
couldn¡¯t be spotted but he wouldn¡¯t stop talking.
¡°But her looks aren¡¯t why you¡¯re an idiot for cheating on her. I mean, that¡¯s a big
reason, but no¡¡± His temper lowered with his shoulders. He moved his green eyes that
sparkled with longing to mine and I swooned. ¡°It¡¯s because she¡¯s really, really something.
I haven¡¯t known her long, but I know she¡¯s a hell of a lot better than any other woman
I¡¯ve talked to lately. Anyone¡ªmyself included¡ªwho would ever hurt her is a fucking
moron.¡±
¡°Aww,¡± came from the audience in the diner who were enjoying the show. Travis was
stewing on the other side of the booth with his arms crossed, but I¡¯d almost forgotten he
was there.
¡°Oh, Isaac¡¡± No one had ever said such beautiful words to me before and I was
speechless, forgetting about our danger for a second.
¡°Please, let me explain why I haven¡¯t called. I¡¯m an asshole, but I promise I have a
really good reason.¡±
¡°No¡ª¡± I started but Travis interrupted.
