I wasn't expecting to leave Ivy alone but I wanted to get a feel for the red head. When I first saw Ivy at my shop I was told he's her boyfriend. Yet she gives the vibes that they aren't more than friends.

"How long have you known Ivy?" I ask while we both walk down the stairs into Jacobs basement.

"For almost eight years now." Red says without much more. Once we reach the bottom of the stairs the basement is surprisingly roomy. There is about three other guys in here.

"Nice how'd you guys met?" Scoffing Red looks at me like I'm unbelievable. Shrugging at him I say, "just curious man."

"Curious my ass. What's you're motive Maddox. I know a lot about you from what Ivy's told me." That's something I hadn't expected to hear.

"Ivy talked about me?" Reds face turns into a scold and he just walks away to where the beers sit on the counter in giant bucks of ice. He pops one open with no problem holding it out to me. "Here." Walking up to him I grab it.

"Thanks." He only nods opening one for himself too. Taking a sip of the cold beer it runs down my throat smoothly.

"Yeah she talked about you. You're all she talked about for a while. How nice you where, or how much she hated how you left." Rolling his eyes he sighs. "Look guy I don't care that you're back in her life but she's mine ok. I worked my ass off to have the trust we have and I don't plan on losing that just because you came back, with your nice ass teeth, tattoos and fucking model body."

I couldn't contain my laugh if I wanted. Beer spit from my mouth making him flinch as some landed in him.

"That's fucking gross." Placing one hand on his should still laughing I calm my self.

"Damn you're funnier then I thought you would be Red."

"Red?"

"You know cause of your red hair." I shrug again taking a decent drink of my almost empty beer.

"Grayson is fine." Its my turn rolling my eyes. I mean did it give me comfort that I wasn't the only one thinking of Ivy while I roamed around. Yes.. I liked that I haunted her like she haunted me. Did I hate that she's in a pretty good place with red. Most certainly, but who am I to ruin happiness.

"I'm not trying to steal her. I just missed her too. Besides she's a pretty cool person to be around."

"The coolest." He smiles into his beer before downing the rest of it. "Another?" He asks tossing his empty beer bottle in the trash can behind us.

"Nah, Im good for now." Loud footstep come down the stairs and I can already guess who it is.

"Maddox I knew I'd find you down here!" Yells Jacob as he throws his hands in the air. "Can't even come and say hi before you drink my free beer."

"Shut the fuck up Miller."

"Dude did you see Ivy?!" He exclaims making me laugh and making Grayson glare at him. He's possessive as fuck.

"Dude you thought she was banging in high school! Did you see her tats! Duuuude." He groans out. Grabbing a beer out of one of the buckets opening it.

"I had the pleasure of inking her skin not too long ago. So yeah I've seen them." I smile wickedly side eyeing red. You think he's mad now I know he'll be fuming since Jacob can't keep his mouth shut.

"I mean I love Adrianna with all my heart but she has a fine ass friend. She certainly filled out into a beautiful woman. Fucking Knight always surprising us. Like when she slept with you! Damn." Bitting my lip I turn and look at Grayson and sure enough he's beat red.

His face matching the color of his hair. Shit he must not have known Ivy and I had more then a friendly relationship. Sure it was once but what man would want to be hanging out with someone who fucked their girl.

"Dude it was a long time ago. She don't see me like that. And I don't see her like that." I try to explain trying to calm Red down. "She's with you anyways. Just calm down."

"I need air." Is all Grayson says before he downs his full beer. Fuck.

He mugs Jacob as he passes by rushing up the stairs.

"You're a fucking dumbass." I say punching Jacob in the arm. "That's Ivy's boyfriend dude."

"Oh shit my bad. My bad." Jacob says looking up the stairs where red had headed. "Will he be ok?"

Just shrugging not answering I finish my beer needing another one now.

"Dude! I have a confession to make though and it's huge." Jacob says grabbing two beers off the ice and opening both with his belt buckle. "Adrianna's pregnant again." He beams smiling so wide I'm sure it hurts.

Giving my best smile I bring him into a hug. "Congratulations my guy." Patting his back we break apart.

"I know it's so surreal. Like we talked about it but yeah it's super crazy. Foster will be the best big bro." He laughs when we both here screaming coming from upstairs.

Looking at each other we both built up the stairs and the other men following behind us.

"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!" Red yells at Ivy. Her eyes reddening on the verge of tears. "I didn't think it was important to say anything."

Pounding his chest with a fist he yells again. "I fucking road here with you both only to be told something you kept from me."

Oh shit. Soon more adults come in the house most likely curious about the yelling.

"Sorry everyone." Ivy apologizes holding her hands out motioning to Grayson to calm down.

"Fuck this fuck you I'm leaving." Grayson spits out to her his eyes staring straight into hers. Then turning his back on her he slams the door behind him.

Ivy is quick to find Jacob and Adrianna in the crowd shaking her head.

"I'm sorry." Is all she says before she chases after Grayson.

Fuuuuck.
