According To You
It had been a few months since Morelli and I broke up permanently. Ranger had made good on his promise, approaching me just days after the split.
"Ranger?" I asked walking into the kitchen dressed in a short pencil shirt, white blouse, black jacket, and black 3" wedges.
"Yes Babe?" He asked.
"Would you come clubbing with me and the crew?" I asked, batting my eyelashes.
"Why?"
"I have something to rub in…" I said, smiling evilly "Please?"
"When?"
"Tonight. A new band is playing." I stated, walking to the door.
Morelli walked into the club at exactly midnight. The Rangeman Crew where seated at one table, and Morelli strolled over.
"Cupcake, I see you're showing you face now. How about coming home with me?" He asked me slyly.
"How about not." Ranger was watching the conversation. My diamond ring sparkled from my left hand.
"Oh I see you have found a ring you liked. Saves me the trouble." He smiled, making me roll my eyes. I got up and walked over to the stage and requested a song "I'll sing it" I told the DJ.
"Up Next, According to You being sung By Stephanie Plum" The DJ Announced as I walked up onto the stage.

By now Joe was steaming, Ranger was just smiling and looking at me, mouthing "Babe".

"How does it feel Joe? Tell me what do I have to lose? It's too late to get me back. Because I'm in love with Ranger. So don't even think getting back together with me. It'll be Useless" With that Ranger and I walked off stage, out to the Porsche, and drove home.
