Redemption (Forgiven Series) by Rebecca Brooke Page A

moved from Andrew to me, and I could see the disgust in them. “None of your business. Go find your blonde bimbo to take home tonight.”
    “Don’t start with me,” I warned crossing my arms over my chest. “I already told her to get lost. Where did she go?”
    Andrew just sat there being a pussy, too afraid to stand up to Emily and help me out. I turned my attention away from Emily and focused it on Nick. He threw his hands in the air in surrender. “Leave me out of this shit. All I want is to find myself some chick to take home.”
    “Emily, please tell me, did Lauren go home?”
    She opened her mouth to argue but I put my hand up to stop her. “I just need to talk to her.”
    Talk to her? What was I going to talk to her about? Not even sure what I was thinking myself, I could see the war going on in Emily’s head. After what seemed like forever when it was probably only seconds, she answered.
    “Morgan took her home.”
    “Why?” I asked, but I already knew the answer. She saw me.
    Emily looked at her nails, almost as if she was bored of the conversation. “My guess would be that she didn’t really feel like watching you cop a feel of Miss Bottle Blonde over there,” she said, jerking her thumb toward where Sara was standing.
    I ran my hands over my face. “Damn it!”
    That’s when Emily looked up again. “What, now all of sudden you care? I warned you last week that she’d been hurt enough.” She moved to stand up and get in my face, but Andrew blocked her with his arm.
    Without a moment’s pause she turned and glared at him. “Andrew, move your hand right now.”
    “No.”
    Her eyes flew wide open. “No! Did you actually just tell me no ?”
    He moved his hands to cup her face and forced her to look at him. “Yes, baby, I did. Right now you’re so focused on being pissed at Josh for upsetting Lauren that you haven’t stopped to think about the last time he wanted to talk to a girl again after a one-night stand.”
    He gave her a pointed look while she thought about what he said. Her eyes briefly glanced at me then quickly moved back to Andrew.
    “But—”
    Andrew covered her lips with his finger.
    “I know you want to protect Lauren, but maybe Josh won’t hurt her,” he said.
    Since when did he become a sap? He must really care about Emily for him to sound like such a girl.
    I heard Nick chuckle and mumble, “Alright Andi,” under his breath. Nick was smart enough not to take on Emily, but there was no way Andrew wasn’t going to hear about this later but I was too interested in the answer to my question to worry about it.
    When Emily still looked resistant, Andrew slid his hand around the back of her neck and pulled her into a kiss. All tension left her body and she wrapped her arms around his neck. When Andrew pulled out of the kiss, Emily turned to face me. “Fine, but if you hurt her, I guarantee that your dick will never see the inside of a woman again, understand?”
    I crossed my arms over my chest, trying to show her that I wasn’t worried about it. To be honest, for some reason I wasn’t. “Where is she?”
    She sighed and eyed the table, shaking her head. “Why do I just I know I’m gonna regret this.” She looked back up me. “Morgan said she wasn’t feeling well, I’m not sure where they went.”
    I couldn’t believe she didn’t know the answer. I exploded. “Are you fucking kidding me?” I yelled. “After all the shit you just put me through, you’re not even sure where they went?”
    “My guess is that they went back to their apartment, but no I’m not telling you where that is. You need to go home and think about this first. I know what happened the other night and she can’t be just another one of your conquests.”
    She looked over at Andrew and kept her eyes there. “But Andrew’s right, you’ve never asked about a girl after sleeping with her, so I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt.”
    My anger reached boiling point. Shooting Andrew a
