Danger's Back

Chapter 14

Justin’s Point of View

:

To say I was mad would be an understatement. I was completely and utterly fuming with rage that I had about half the mind to turn back around and shoot the motherfucker point blank in the chest.

But I kept myself calm enough to drive off before I did anything I would regret. Besides, the fact that I had a bit of a talk with him before I left reassured me that the fucker would think twice before ever coming near my girl again.

Once I heard the car door close shut, I knew I was in the clear to say whatever the hell I wanted, “If I ever see you go near her again—”

 

“Seriously man, I was doing no harm.” Tanner put his hands up once more as a sign of surrender, “I was just trying to make sure we were cool. That’s it.”

 

My eyes narrowed, “You can justify it all you want. You put your hands on her, that’s a strike off your marks of survival.”

 

Tanner blinked over at me, his lips parted in slight disbelief.

 

“The fact that you know shit about her that you shouldn’t, only adds on to my strong disliking towards you. If you weresmart, you’d just shut that mouth of yours and back off before I make you.” A sneer crossed my face as I stood toe to toe with him. “Better yet? Why don’t you go back to Colorado because you’re not needed here in Stratford.”

 

“How the hell do you know I’m from Colorado?” Tanner arched his eyebrows, his lips pursed.

 

A wicked grin pulled at the corner of my lips, “I know everything about everyone here. This is my town, if you haven’t noticed. If you spent the night getting buzzed under the bridge that crossed over the river down by Southside, I would know. If you Bobby hooked up with Leanna last weekend, I would know that too because everything always comes back to me, you got that?” Stepping even closer, I locked eyes with him, “So even if you had the balls to go near Kelsey again, I’d know that too and it’d only be a short amount of time before I found your ass.”
