| "So I hear you roped in the frigid Mrs. Dorough the other day,"AJ commented that afternoon as they watched TV. "What?"Nick's blank expression turned from the screen. "Melissa?" "Would you just get off that for two seconds?" "Why? You had a woman pratically rape you and to top it all off, she's one of your friend's wives. There's nothing good abou that?" "No there's not because the husband showed up yesterday when I was trying to figure out what the hell was going on with her." "Howie showed up over there?" "Yeah. I don't know what he said but she sobbed all night long." "I think I do." "Enlighten me then because I'd like to know what he said that hurt her so damn much." "You act like you care about her Nick. This was just a game Nick." "Maybe in the beginning but not anymore. I have this overwhelming urge to protect her and take care of her, make her stop hurting when she hurts." "Don't do this to me now Carter." "Would you like me to tell your girl you were in on this little gamble?" "I wanna know what the hell you're thinking. She is still Howie's wife." "Howie gave up the right to call her his wife a long time ago. Get outta here." "Look Nick. I 'm just trying to watch out for the both of you. When she goes to file those papers and you know she will, you don't want to be accused of doing the same thing with her that he did with countless numbers of women to her." "I know but how do I continue being her friend after that?" "Oh, I think Sherl probably gave you that lecture yesterday morning now didn't she?" "Damn you know your woman." "I just know what she's like. Be careful. You've got a lot more to lose then she does." "I just don't have so much of an obstructed view of the world anymore Age but I'll watch myself." |
