" Where were you last night? ," Bliss Jones asked as she poured herself more coffee all while glaring over at her fiance Jeremiah Duncan who was reading the Washington Reign.
" In bed with you. Of course. "
Bliss rolled her heavily made up light brown eyes at him. " Nope. Nada. No way. You started out that way, darling , but around four in the morning you were gone from not only the bedroom but the apartment. Where did you go? "
Jeremiah sighed and put down the newspaper. " Fine. I needed to unwind. This damn trial. Jamal's situation. Starting the firm. I just needed to go out and get a drink at the Club J. "
Bliss made a face at him. " Joe Jacobs's sex shack he calls a club ? Seriously? Who is she ? "
Jeremiah laughed at her. " I did not go out to sweet talk my fine self into the bed of a bi woman or a straight fag hag. Okay? I had a couple drinks. And watched a drag show. Lady Ismeralda actually. "
" Hmm. Well. Next time try letting me know. I mean I might have wanted to go too. I like drag. Besides I called everyone and woke them all up so people hate me this morning. I called your sister. That woman can cuss. She eat with that mouth of hers too ? I called Ethan Stone who by the way is still by the side of Zipp Dennis in the hospital. What is up with that ? Didn't know he was gay. "Her lips poked out in a pout. " I even called Judith Xi. She said no but I also heard Amanda Charm in the background. "
Jeremiah widened his eyes and swallowed harshly. " Mandy was at Judi's that time of the morning ? "
Bliss watched his face carefully. As well as suspiciously. " Hmmm. Yes. Interesting that. "
She wondered why her fiance didn't look just interested at the tidbit about his ex-wife and Judith Xi. In fact oddly enough he looked mad enough to hit a wall. That was interesting as well.
Jeremiah decided to change the subject by saying ," They're trying to blame Richard for what that woman did. That's ridiculous. He's not a mind reader. How could he know she was unstable? And , Claire and Marcus could have done their own psych evaluation as well. Why aren't they just as responsible? "
Bliss shook her head. " Isn't it funny that the woman isn't held responsible for anything she did? Not the accident. Not this suicide attempt. If that ain't White bougie privilege I don't know what is then. And, did you see Marcus in court with that ex partner of yours Claire ? When he talked you just barely saw her lips moving. "
Jeremiah looked over at her and laughed out loud. " I love you, baby. "
Bliss laughed as well. " I love you too, babe. "
She just didn't trust him that much. Especially when it came to that ex wife of his.
