Skye Morrison Vampire 2 Sins of the Father
that, Jesse?” I asked, my voice quivering
with the anger I felt. “And, why in the hell do you think I’d ever
wear it for you? We broke up almost three months ago! We are NOT
getting back together!”
    “Don’t say that,” he whined petulantly. “We
love each other. We’ll get back together, Skye baby. You just need
a little time to get used to the idea.”
    My jaw hit the floor. I couldn’t believe what
I was hearing. “Are you delusional?” I scoffed. “I don’t love you,
Jesse. You CHEATED on me. And worst of all, you put your hands on
me in the middle of Drop Kick Dan’s last week. That is absolutely
unforgiveable. How could you even do that to me? You really hurt
me.”
    “Man, you have a hard time letting go of
things, don’t you Skye?” Jesse asked, anger tinting his voice.
    “I’m not the one who has a hard time letting
things go, Jesse!” I seethed, my voice rising. “Who’s stalking who
here?”
    Jesse chuckled softly. “Yeah, like I have
time to stalk you. You always were silly.”
    Lord, help me , I thought as I sighed.
“No, I’m exasperated, not silly. And you sure as hell ARE stalking
me. What do you call all of the phone calls, text messages, emails,
and visits to my house and job? It seriously frustrates me whenever
I pick up my phone and see messages from you or when I have to hear
from my boss that you were in the bar AGAIN looking for me. You are
unwelcome in my life, you KNOW this, and yet you still try to
assert yourself into it. This behavior is not normal Jesse. You do
realize that, don’t you? ” I asked, but then quickly added, “And
please, spare me the pseudo witty ‘but-I’m-really-a-good-guy’
retort. I honestly don’t want to hear it. I’m so beyond tired of
dealing with this shit. I’m not trying to be mean to you, Jesse,
I’m just being honest. I can’t do this with you anymore. This is
completely beyond ridiculous.”
    Jesse was quiet for a long moment. Finally, a
small sigh broke the silence. “All I wanted was to see how you
liked the teddy…and to congratulate you on your new job. You really
have no place to judge me on whether you think I’m normal or not,
Skye. I’ll go now…for the sake of keeping my own energy positive,
but this isn’t over.”
    My jaw dropped again in shock. “How did you
know I got a new job? Huh? Don’t you dare hang up on me, Jesse!” I
spat quickly, but it was too late. Jesse had already hung up.
    “Dammit!” I yelled in frustration, throwing
my phone back down into my passenger seat. I took a couple of deep
breaths and tried to calm my racing heartbeat. I shouldn’t have
even talked to him; I should have just hung up the phone when I
realized it was him. But, I thought that maybe I could reason with
him. There is obviously no reasoning with him; not after that
conversation. I realized that it didn’t matter what I said. He was
going to hear what he wanted to hear. I should tell Archer and
Jameson what’s going on , I thought and then shook my head .
No, I can’t tell them . They’ll just freak out and they don’t
need that . They have enough on their plates to deal with
without my added drama . I sighed and tried hard to put the
conversation out of my mind as I drove the rest of the way to
work.
    When I pulled down the back alley and into
The Mausoleum’s employee parking lot, I was surprised to see only
three cars and a big, white 16-person passenger van occupying the
spaces. It was just now 5 o’clock, so I was a little early. I
parked in the parking space closest to the alley, locked my car,
and headed in the back door.
    A cool blast of air-conditioned air greeted
me as I opened the door and walked to the employee lounge. No one
was around, so I quickly deposited my messenger bag in my locker
and went off in search of the crew.
    When I turned the corner, I was surprised to
see Aoife standing behind the first floor bar. She was normally
stationed at the second floor bar, so you can understand my
confusion.
