“But...”
I leaned down so I was eye-to-eye with her. “It’s not appropriate for me to take you, Mina. You’re gonna go with Bellamy.”
“He’ll be right here when we get back,” Bellamy promised, holding her hand out to Mina.
Bellamy lifted Mina off the bed, but she craned her neck to watch me as Bellamy carried her away.
My phone buzzed just as they walked out of sight, but I didn’t recognize the number. I decided to answer it anyway. “Jekyll.”
“It’s Indigo.”
“Hey.”
“What’s going on?” she demanded.
“There was a bit of a stand-off, but Bellamy sorted it. You got the girls.”
I heard her sigh through the phone. “Thank god. I love my bestie.”
“You need to rest, GoGo. We got this.”
“But I want to know everything that happened,” she argued.
I chuckled. “I’m pickin’ up on that, baby, but you’re gonna have to wait.”
“For how long?”
“Until we’re done,” I growled. “Jesus, woman, you need to rest and heal.”
“Will you come up the second you can?”
“Yeah.”
“Promise?” she pressed.
“My word’s my word, Indigo. I don’t repeat myself.”
“Well,excuseme, Mr. Grumpy Bossy Pants,” she snapped. “I think you forget I don’t actually know you.”
“Indi—”
“No,” she ground out. “You don’t get to talk to me that way. Dick.”
Before I could respond, the phone went dead.
She’d fuckin’ hung up on me.
Goddammit.
“What’s wrong?” Bellamy asked.
I hadn’t even heard them come back in. I shook my head and lifted Mina back onto the bed just as Bellamy’s phone beeped. She answered immediately...I knew the second Bellamy said, “What?” it was Indigo.
And the reason I knew it was Indigo was because Bellamy’s face puckered into a glare of irritation directed at me.
“He did?” she said into the phone, her glare intensifying. “Yep, you’re right he is a di—” she glanced at Mina. “Ah...little ears, but I agree.” I matched her expression and Bellamy raised an eyebrow. “Of course, honey. Yes, as soon as this is all sorted, we’ll come up. Um, yep, sure.I’llcome upwithoutthe di—dude.”
Like hell you will.
