“I don’t give a fuck about those guys or this car. Number one. And two, whatever you do when I’m not around is one thing, but when you’re with me, I’m not going to sit by like some pussy while you risk your safety.”
“You really gonna rat out your friend? You don’t even know this bitch! For all we know—” “Enough.” Derek’s voice was calm, yet as sharp as a razor’s edge. “Apologize.” He moved past me, now face to face with the woman, who was trying desperately to squirm backward, but had run out of room. “Apologize,” he demanded a second time. “W-what?” Her hand clutched onto the railing. “You’re going to apologize for your disrespect. And I won’t ask again.”
“Tell me his name,” he demanded in a harsh whisper. “It was a long time ago, Derek. He doesn’t matter.” His fingers dug into me. “It. Matters.”
“Well, for one, I’ve never given anyone a gift in my life.” “Never?” I shook my head. “Never. But you, Eva, I’d give you the whole world. Just ask, and it’s yours.”
“What’s the difference? At least it would have been quick. And not like this.”
