"What the hell do you mean, 'they got back together'?" Ry bites out as we walk out of Pete's Pizza Palace on Friday night. His grip on the stack of boxes tightens as his jaw clenches. "How the fuck did Nico explain away what happened at Liz's on Tuesday night?"
"I guess there was a video that supported his story." I sigh with a shrug as we walk back to my truck.
"What exactly was his story?" Ry asks bitterly.
"Well, you remember how he mentioned being 'tricked' the other night?" I ask as we walk up to my truck. Ry nods once so I continue as I open the passenger door for him so he doesn't drop the boxes. "I guess he was telling the truth." I say as he gets in.
"No fucking way." Ry shakes his head. "I call bullshit."
"Tiana said he had proof." I shrug and close his door before making my way around to the driver's side and getting in.
"What proof?" Ry asks as soon as I sit down.
"There was a video of everything that happened before we caught them, I guess." I say, closing my door and buckling my seat belt. "Apparently it really was all a set up." I turn the engine on and check my mirrors before pulling out onto the road. "One of Brittany's little minions was recording the whole thing from one of the front windows."
"And how did Nico get his hands on the video?" Ry asks.
"I'm not sure." I shrug. "But Tiana said she saw it and she believes him."
"How?!" Ry seethes. I glance over and see his jaw tense.
"I haven't seen it, but when I asked about it she told me that even though you can't hear what they're saying in the video, you can still tell he didn't know she was going to kiss him. She said his eyes were closed before she even stepped up to him. And I mean..." My voice trails off as I turn a corner.
"What?" Ry turns to look at me. I can feel the anger radiating off him without even looking at him. "Are you saying you believe him?!" He snaps at me.
"No! No." I say quickly. "But, I mean, his eyes were closed when the door opened." I grimace at my own words. "And he jumped back when he realized how close she was to him. Plus, Brittany is a conniving bitch, I wouldn't put it past her to trick him into something like that. She was probably planning on editing the video to make it look like he kissed her before sending it to Tiana."
"I still don't believe his story." Ry shakes his head curtly. "He's probably got Brittany and her little bitches in on it to help him cover his ass. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they had already kissed by the time we saw them." He mutters.
"Well, Tiana believes him." I shrug. "And she forgave him for the whole thing." I sigh deeply, shaking my head. "She even forgave him for that damn dress."
