Breaking Ice

Chapter 35

Steve's POV:

I was pissed. How dare that prick talk about Amelia like that. If Luke hadn't held me back I'm pretty sure I would have killed him.

The vodka came very much in handy as I needed something to calm me down. Dan won't be too happy that I drank a whole bottle of expensive vodka. Well, now that I think of it neither will Luke. Tonight was supposed to be about Luke and our future but no I fucked it up, what else is new.

"Babe Dan's here lets go home" Luke said coming into my office

"I'm sorry, I fucked up again" I sighed

"No you didn't Travis was way out of line coming in here and talking like that" He said squeezing me

"Do you think Amelia is dating somebody else" I asked

"No she wouldn't she's never cheated on anybody in her life"

"She only ever dated Josh and fucking Dorian"

"Babe lets go home and you can talk with Amelia when she gets home"

"Okay. I'm gonna leave my car here though I'm way to fucked up to drive" I sighed

"I know baby"

    Luke helped me out of my office and waved to Dan. He looked upset but hey, it's my bar.

The car ride was boring. I nearly puked half way. We got home and he helped me up the stairs. He's gotten strong carrying my loser self around. I passed out the second I got into our bed. Dreams of gum drops and gay boys filled my head.

I finally woke up to doors slamming, Isaac or Hayden? I can't right now my head is smashing. I went down to the kitchen to get some medicine and water.

"Hey Stevo" Amelia said coming out of the garage.

"How was work" I asked

"Alright, routine as usual, I miss the tattoo shop but that's a no"

"Travis came into the bar today, shit faced running his mouth "

"I'm sorry, what did he say"

"That you are dating someone else and just being a fucking idiot"

"Nope not dating anybody, I would have told you"

"Well he said fucking around"

"Oh well that's a lie, I've been cheated on before I wouldn't do that to another person" she said getting defensive

"Yeah I know Ahme I was just telling you what he said"

"Sorry, just a bit stressed"

"So when are you seeing Carter?" I asked

"Tomorrow, we are going to lunch and I don't know what else after" she beamed

"You like Carter" I yelled

"No I don't. Shut up" she said walking away from me

"He's coming into town to see you isn't he. It wasn't just a coinky dink now was it" I slid in front of her 

"Steve why are you interrogating Amelia" Luke asked

"She likes Carter" I squealed

"No I don't, we are just friends I haven't seen him in years"

"Luke grab her phone and slide it to me"

"No Steve. We aren't 15 anymore" Luke said reaching into Amelia's back pocket
