Why in the hell would I let Caden do that? What the hell is wrong with me?

It was just his father, Easton, who had walked in but it was still embarrassing nevertheless. The dinner went good except for the awkward silence between Caden and I. Or maybe I was the one making it awkward cause all he was doing was smirking at me. Either way, I needed to get out of there.

So that's what I did. I got Sabrina and we left. All I know is after all of that, I need a drink. I text Stephanie to meet me at my apartment and that we are getting very much drunk tonight. I text my family group chat and ask if anyone can babysit. I park in my spot and read through the replies that I got. I have to go with the closest person so I message that Mason is the lucky guy for tonight. Let's just hope that my daughter doesn't come home broken . Or with a makeover. Stephanie pulls in next to me and hops in my car.

"Youre staying with uncle Mason tonight. Do not and I repeat do not come home with any peircings, tattoos, dyed hair, cut hair. Broken/ fractured / sprained limbs or bones, and absolutely do not come home singing frozen , Moana, or,Aladdin. Don't get me wrong, I love those movies but you, Mason, and Disney plus is the worst combination ever. "I finish and steph looks at me in disbelief.

"What? Why are you telling her that?" She asks.

"It's Mason. What do you expect. "I defend.

"Yea. You right." She nods.

"Let's drop her off then come back and get ready." We leave and I go to take Sabrina to Mason's.

"So what happened?" I look at Steph as I look through her closet. We ended up driving to her apartment as it was closer to the clubs.

"What are you talking about?" I ask. She just gives me a look.

"What has your panties in a bunch? Why are you so messed up?" She leans back into her chair. I scoff.

"My panties aren't in a bunch."I roughly shove the clothes hanger aside.

"Damn, that top didn't do anything. What's going on? What happened at Caden Scott's house?" I sigh.

"I let him make me feel vulnerable. I let him kiss me like that.. I....I let him have the effect on me. "I say.

"Then let's get you fucked up tonight. Let's just have fun. We both need it. But first, I already have a dress for you." She comes to the closet and pulls out a scrap of clothing.

"Are you trying to make me look slutty. What even is that? There's nothing there."I say shaking my head. No fucking way am I wearing that scarf.

"You have to bag someone tonight. And this is how you're going to do it." She shoves the scarf in my hand and pushes me towards the bathroom.

"Fine. But only if I look hot."

*******
I'm wearing the scarf. I look hot though.We manage to find a table and order some drinks.

"So Johnny....?" I trail off.

"Yea.. it's so stupid. He's being so childish you know. It's like he already put me through so much and he's making this even harder for not only me but him too. He says he wants nothing to do with me anymore, yet, all of this is making things take longer."

"My personal opinion is that he loves you still. Not enough to fix your relationship but there is something there deep down. Or he doesn't want to let go of this life you both built together. You guys fell in love and got married. You guys were going to have a kid. Albeit your relationship was very toxic, you didn't stay with each other for no reason. You loved each other. "
"If it's like what your saying, then why did he go and stick his dick in another bitch? You don't do that when you love someone."she asks. I shrug. Our drinks come but I don't reach for it. I'm too I'm my head to even think about drinking right now. And it looks like it's the same for Stephanie. I'm staring at her thinking about when her relationship went to shit when I see her eyes widen and dart behind me. Her mouth opens but it's too late.

I feel a hand grab my hair and yank it back. I go back and get a hit to my face. I grab the hand and turn around. My eyes widen just a bit then I glare. I push her off of me and she stumbles back but catches herself.

"What the fuck do you want Mindy!?" She scoffs.

"Oh so you can step up to my sister but not me." I roll my eyes. Of course she heard about that. Her and Dylan are joined at the hip now.

"She stepped up to me first. Stay out of shit that doesn't concern you."

"So you throwing down against my sister and getting her jumped isn't my business." She looks pointedly at Stephanie. I snort.

"Didn't no one jump Dylan. She's psycho if she told you that. "I cross my arms.

"That's okay bitch. Cause I'm back in town. You come at Dylan then you come at me. Don't forget who I am." I step up until in in her face.

"Don't you forget who I am. I'm not some little bitch that will cower to you. I never did before and I'm not about to start now. Grow up Mindy. We're not in high school anymore."

"Oh right. I forgot about your daughter. How old is she now? 9. Don't want her to know about-" Stephanie is next to me in a flash. I dart my eyes around our surroundings before they focus on Mindy again. No one is watching us. Good.

"About what bitch?" Mindy moves back a step so she can see the both of us. She doesn't say anything.

"About what Mindy? " I hear from behind me. I tense but don't move.

"Nothing Caden. " she tries to smile at him but when he steps up next to me I see the glare on his face. He wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me into his side.

"Not nothing. Say what you were going to say."

"Really? You guys are together again." She crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow.

"Either say what you were going to say or leave. Stop fucking around and stay out of business that has nothing to do with you." He growls. Mindy friend but covers it up with a scowl.

"What the fuck ever. Fuck you both. I'm not leaving my sister to get jumped by your baby mama and her wannabe follower. I'll leave. It's time. I won't next time." She turns and walks away swaying her hips a bit more than usual.

She doesn't make any sense with what she says. She tries to intimidate while being dramatic and I just doesn't work. Whatever. I'll deal with her when I have to.I was about to turn on Caden when Stephanie speaks up.

"She looks like a chicken when she's walking away."
