I cocked my head at him. “Jack?"
“What?”
he asked roughly.
“What
are you doing?”
He
smiled sarcastically. “I thought we weren’t going to ask each other personal
questions,” he said. Maybe he saw the hurt in my eyes. He looked away.
"You’re
mad about dinner.”
"You
lied.”
I
exhaled. "How exactly did I lie?"
"I
thought you didn't date anyone," he said. He had stopped smiling.
"You told me that, right?"
"It's
complicated, but—”
"Complicated?
You go to dinner with Andrew Brenner and you fuck me? No, that's not
complicated," he smiled bitterly. "I mean this is fun and all,
Hadley. This is really fucking great.
But, don’t tell me you don't date people when all you really mean is you don't
take me seriously. And don't tell me something is complicated when it's
actually really simple."
"Andrew
is the managing editor of the paper," I said. "He wanted to discuss a
Valentine's Day issue."
"He
took you to dinner to talk about Valentine's Day?"
“The
Valentine’s Day issue of the newspaper." I ran my hand through my hair.
"And let me finish. I already told you it wasn't a date. I’m not lying to you—”
“You—”
“Would
you let me finish?”
He
looked at me. “Fine, finish."
“I
didn't have time to talk about the issue last week and I said we'd talk over
dinner to get him off my back," I said. "I thought we'd go to
Chipotle or something. I didn't even remember I'd agreed to dinner until five
minutes before and he had to drive me home to change because he'd made a
reservation at Mill House."
He
laughed bitterly. "Right."
"That's
what happened!"
"I
know you," he said. "You wouldn't have gone if you didn't want to.
You say 'no' like nobody's business."
“It’s
different.”
“How
is it different?”
“Because
he’s not like you,” I snapped.
Jack
stepped back, hurt. "Right. Well, good to know where I stand."
“You
don’t know where you stand. Obviously. We wouldn't be having this stupid
argument if you did. He’s...he’s nothing like you. He doesn’t….he doesn’t scare me like you do.” I took a breath.
“I don’t think you understand how much you scare me, Jack.”
He
was quiet for a second. He took half a step towards me. He spoke softly.
“Hadley, how the hell do I scare you?”
I
looked at him and whispered, “You just do.”
