Sebastian (The Beck Brothers 2) - Page 12

Sebastian shook his head. He hadn't thought about her in months and he didn't plan to start now. He was over her. He had his own life now. He did whatever he wanted - when he wanted. Didn't answer to anyone. And he liked it that way.

Sebastian pulled into ‘Bill's Guns and Indoor Range’ and parked his truck in an empty spot near a black Dodge Charger. Sebastian frowned. He'd seen that car before. It had been out front of Henry's house the night of the break in. Sebastian rolled his eyes when he got out and saw Detective Raelynn Reynolds throught the shop's window. Was she stalking him or something?

Sebastian walked into the showroom. The bell on the door chimed, making Bill and Raelynn turn their heads to see who it was. " Long time no see, Detective," Sebastian teased with a wry smile.

Raelynn raised an eyebrow at him. But that was it. She didn't say hi or anything. Ah...she was in cop mode. She then turned back to Bill and basically ignored him. What the hell? This chick was hot and cold. She was all relaxed and pleasant this morning at his apartment. Now she was tense, withdrawn and a bit cold. Maybe fucking her would be a bad idea. He didn't particularly care for bitches with mood disorders.

Sebastian shook his head and went to grab a pen and paper. The shelves needed to be restocked. So while Bill and Raelynn were yakking it up about security and cameras - Sebastian went around and wrote down everything he needed to fill the shelves. When he was finished, he took his list to the storage room and started grabbing what he needed. Sebastian had filled up a couple empty boxes with stuff then headed out to the showroom.

" Ah...here he is now. Sebastian, someone is here for you," Bill said.

Sebastian glanced up and fucking froze. Standing just inside the doorway was his bitch of an ex-wife, Victoria. What. The. Fuck. What the hell was she doing here? How did she find him? He never told her where he worked. She gave him a tentative smile. Sebastian glanced at Bill and Raelynn to find them looking back and forth between the two of them in confusion and curiosity.

Sebastian dropped the boxes. He felt like he was on the verge of flipping the fuck out. He clenched his hands into fists and gave her a hard stare that he knew would have scared a lot of people. " Get out," he growled.

Victoria's smile faltered and she took a step forward. " Sebastian, can we please just talk for a minute?"

" No," he snarled and pointed at the door in the universal sign for her to leave.

" Please, just hear me out," Victoria pleaded, tears welling up in her eyes.

" I don't give one flying fuck about what you have to say. Get out before I physically throw you out," Sebastian barked, causing her to flinch. Good.

" I've made a huge mistake..." Victoria started, the tears rolling down her pretty cheeks.

" You're damn right you did! Don't come crawling back to me because your boy toy isn't treating you as well as I did! Now get the fuck out of my face, Victoria. I don't want to see you here again," Sebastian snapped angrily, starting towards her.

Raelynn stepped in front of him and put a hand on his chest. " Sebastian...don't," she said gently.

Sebastian clenched his teeth and watched while Bill escorted Victoria out the door. That bitch!!! Coming to his job and making him look like an fool. He could kill her!

" Ex-girlfriend?" Raelynn asked quietly.

" Ex-wife," Sebastian spat.

" She cheated on you?" Raelynn asked, her voice soft and sympathetic.

Sebastian gave her a nod, unable to meet her eyes. He felt like such a loser.

" I'm sorry. That had to hurt," She said, dropping her hand from his chest.

Sebastian swallowed hard and nodded again. He needed some air. Sebastian turned and headed for the back door. He had to go through the shop to get there. He burst through the door. He took a couple steps and crouched down, dropping his head into his hands. His chest ached. He could have sworn that he was healed completely but her showing up had torn the wound right open. His heart felt raw and exposed. Dammit!

Sebastian stood and turned when he heard the back door open. Bill stepped out, his face screwed up with concern. " You alright, kid?"

Sebastian swallowed back the emotion clogging his throat. " I'm sorry about that Bill. I don't know what she's doing here..."

" That's not what I asked you," Bill said sharply.

Sebastian blinked at the older man then found himself spilling his guts. " No, I'm not. I've spent the past year getting myself back together and then she shows up out of nowhere wanting to talk. Trying to tell me she's made a mistake? I feel like I'm back at the beginning."
