{Quîncy}

Î almost jump out of my skîn as Î turn on the lîght and see a woman sîttîng în my chaîr.

"Hî, baby. How was your day?"
She drawls, standîng up to reveal herself în my shîrt.

Î glare.

"Crystal, what are you doîng here? How dîd you even get în here?"
Î demand, anxîously openîng the door for her.

The guys are supposed to be here any mînute now, Î don't want them to walk în and catch her în here.

"You really shouldn't leave your front door open, Quîn. Ît's unsafe, no matter how good thîs neîghborhood îs."
She scolds, walkîng up for a hug.

Î sîde step her îmmedîately.

"What the hell are you doîng?"
Î ask serîously.

She gïves me a look.

"What do you mean? Î'd lîke some affectîon from my boyfrîend."
She rolls her eyes.

"We are not together! For the last damn tîme!"
Î try not to yell.

She jumps anyway.

"Look, îf you're worrîed about that gîrl then don't. Î took care of ît a whîle ago."
She assures me.

Î freeze.

Nonono.

"What the hell dîd you do?"
Î'm almost afraîd to ask.

"Î just told her to stay away from you. Î don't know why you were ever wîth her any-"
She can't even fînîsh because Î grab her arm and all but throw her out the front door.

"Quîncy, damn!"
She crîed, almost tumblîng în the grass.

"Lîsten here, you bîtch. We are not together. Î made the mîstake of sleepîng with you, that's ît. You leave my gîrl alone or Î'll ruîn your lîfe, you hear me?"
Î growl.

Her face falls.

"Quîn-"

"Now get off of my property before Î call the cops. And îf Î ever see your face agaîn, Î'll fîle for a restraînîng order."
Î snap, slammîng the door.

Jesus Chrîst.

So we're just sîttîng here drînkîng a couple of beers at our usual booth at the cîty strîp club when Brandon drops a bomb.

"So Î was thînkîng yesterday and Î decîded that Î'm goîng to ask Ruby to marry me."

Sîlence all around.

Î lean back and flîp a coîn, stîll a lîttle upset about the whole Crystal sîtuatîon.

"What the hell?"
Derek breaks the sîlence fîrst.

Brandon seems satîsfîed în hîs own lîttle world.

"Î mean, why not? She already wants a baby anyway. Ît'll be cute, lîttle Gîa can have someone to grow up wîth."
He turns to James, who îs entertaînîng Puck wîth a salt shaker.
