"Fuck yeah, I did."
"Oh God. Please don't show that—"
Dane looks up. "Too late. It's already gotten over 200 hits on YouTube."
"Shit. Shit, shit, shit. If Xander sees that…"
My phone rings, but it's in my back pocket. "Can you grab that for me?" There's no way I can move my hand like that.
Carter grabs the phone and looks at the caller ID.Xander.
"Oh hell." I nod at Carter, who pushes the talk and speaker buttons. "Hey."
"Hey," Xander replies. "Is this my wife who I see in a video doing a great impression of Mike Tyson?"
"Uh… you saw that, huh?" I hedge.
"Baby, over seven hundred people have seen that already."
"Seven hundred?I don't even know seven hundred people!"
Xan chuckles. "Well, they sure knowyounow."
"Great."
"Just tell me one thing," he says.
"What's that?" I ask, a little afraid.
"Did you break your hand, T?" The concern in his voice makes me want to cry. He's been gone for a little over an hour and I've already given him a reason to worry about me. I'm an asshole.
I sniffle. "No, Xan, but it hurts something fierce."
"Guess Sasha's head is harder than mine then, huh? When you punched me in the face, your hand was just fine," he teases.
I snicker a little, remembering the not-so-good time when all those girls were hanging out at the house and he took his joking a little too far. It felt more like him picking on me. I'd warned him to stop. But he kept going. That's when my fist met his face. It was one of the best and worst moments of my life.
"Or maybe I just hit her a lot harder."
"Maybe," he replies.
"She had it coming, Xan," Shea says.
"She did. I know she did, but damn. You could've waited to do that until I was around. Now I'm over here all hot for you and you're over there," he jokes.
The guys all wolf whistle and make lewd suggestions.
"You knew you were on speaker phone, huh?" I ask with a snicker.
"Hell yes, I did. Carter," Xan calls out.
"Yeah, man," Carter answers.
"What happened to you taking care of my wife? You just sat there, dude."
Carter chuckles. "Xan, you know as well as I do, if I'd gotten in the middle of that, Tera would've punched me too."
"No," I say. "I'd have kneed you in the balls."
