Playing (Inked Hearts 2) - Page 187

"I didn't think so. But, yeah. You better not break his heart. Pretty sure he'll be worse than Ryan," Dean says.

"Don't let Ryan hear you say that," Walker says.

"What's his deal?" I struggle to get the words out. This is fast. But I want to keep up.

Dean's eyes turn down. It's a second then he shakes it off. Back to the troublemaker. "His high school sweetheart cheated on him."

"Oh. That sucks."

"Yeah. He was looking at rings. Ready to make it official. Fuck, he loved that girl more than he loved anything," Dean says.

"How long were they together?" I ask.

"Eight years. Maybe nine. I lost track," Dean says.

Damn. That's a long time.

"It's been a while, but he can't even look at another woman.

I'm not sure he's ever gonna be cured," Dean says.

"He's not sleeping around?" Walker asks.

"Not as far as I know." Dean looks to me. "Leigh might have better info. He talks to her. Kinda."

"I'm gonna tell her you called her Leigh," Walker says.

"Good. She's cute when she wants to kill me," Dean says.

"You two flirt a lot." A ton actually.

Dean laughs. "Me and Leigh? Nah, we're just sparring. She's got her heart set on someone else."

"Since when?" Walker asks.

"I'm sworn to secrecy." Dean motions zipping his lips.

"When have you ever kept a fucking secret?"

"She was drunk and miserable. I offered to let her ride Prince Albert—"

Walker scrunches his nose in disgust. "You did not fucking say that."

Dean laughs. "No. I didn't. But I did offer to fuck her. And she started crying about how she wasn't gonna be with anyone until she was with someone she loved. And it slipped out."

Walker shakes his head. "You're full of shit."

"Not this time. Fucking sucks for Leigh, 'cause she doesn't have a chance."

"She's a babe."

"You're saying that in front of your girl?"

I laugh. Sorta. It's more a laugh gasp for air combo. "No, she's a babe."

"I've said too much already." Dean holds his hands up my work here is done.

Walker shakes his head. "You're so full of shit." He hits pause on his treadmill, hops off, motions to the water fountain in the back.
