With more strength than I knew I had, I opened my mouth to respond with, "Not now, Antonio-" but before was done getting the words out, Antonio cut me short with a resounding,
ย "Yes, now." My big brother just had to get the last word, didn't he? "Why the fuck are you bleeding?" He asked and I looked down at my hand to discover my knuckles cut and bleeding.
ย "I had a confrontation with the bathroom wall. The wall lost."ย
ย Antonio didn't look amused. "Now is not the time for jokes. You and Layla disappeared for like ten fucking minutes. Could you have made it any more obvious?"ย
ย I looked at him questioningly. "Did Mato notice?"
ย "I'd say he's a special kind of stupid if he didn't."ย
ย I glanced their way. "And he didn't confront you, or attempt to come looking for us?"ย
ย Antonio crossed his arms. "No. He sat by the bar the entire time swirling his fucking whiskey in his glass, looking smug as hell."ย
