Rae raced down the hall looking for any sign of Enzo when she heard a bunch of loud banging coming from one of the rooms. She walked over and quietly opened the door, watching as he kicked chairs and trashcans over. "Enzo…"
Enzo stood perfectly still but never turned around. "Go away Rae."
She flinched as he called her by her name, having called her nothing but "baby" since after the night they first met. "At least talk to me. Let me explain."
"There's nothing to explain!" He spun around and glared at her. "That was all the explanation I needed out there when I saw you kissing him! Why would you go back to him after everything he put you through?! I was here willing to give you everything you could ever want but no! You had to choose him again!"
"Enzo I'm not going back to him and I sure as hell didn't kiss him!"
"Oh, so he kissed you huh? Bullshit! I know what I saw!"
Rae rolled her eyes and walked up to him. "If you would've stayed five more seconds you would have seen me pull away and slap him across the face! I didn't kiss him! If I was going to kiss a man it'd look a hell of a lot more like this!" Without thinking she grabbed the back of his head and pulled him down into a passionate kiss.
Too stunned to do anything at first, Enzo just stood there but then he snapped out of it and wrapped his arms around her to pull her close but before he could, she jerked away and glared up at him. "What…"
"See the difference jackass?!" Rae growled and walked out of the room.
Enzo stood there for a minute in shock and then he smiled as he began doing his dance around the room. "She wants me! Knew she couldn't resist forever!"
Rae ran down the hall, blowing past Cori and Cass.
"Hey! Where are you going? What's wrong?" Cass called after her and she glanced over her shoulder.
"Why don't you go ask that asshole friend of yours? I'm out of here!"
Cass growled and started towards Rae to confront her about calling Enzo a asshole but he stopped when Cori laid her hand on his chest. "What are you doing? I'm tired of her talking about him like that."
"I think she's right...we need to go talk to Enzo. I've known Rae a long time Cass and she was just about to start crying."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, positive."
"Let's go find Zo." Cass took her hand and they walked in the direction Rae had just come from and found Enzo in a room dancing. "Zo! What the hell is going on man?"
"I'm celebratin' man! What does it look like?"
"Celebrating what? Making Rae cry? Sorry Cass, I know you don't want to hear it but she was right...he is a asshole." Cori said, glaring at Enzo who stopped moving and his smile fell.
"She was cryin'? Shit!"
"Yeah, she was and when I asked her why she told me to find my asshole friend and ask him about what happened. What did happen Zo?"
"When she left Hunter's office she looked upset so I followed after her and I found her kissin' Tama. She saw me watchin' them so I got away from there. I was so pissed I came here and started tearin' up the place. Rae must've followed me cause next thing I knew she was here and we were arguin'."
"About what?"
"She tried tellin' me that he had kissed her and not the other way around but I wouldn't listen. Rae got pissed and I guess she decided to teach me a lesson or somethin' because the next thing I knew she was kissin' me and tellin' me that it would've been more like that had she actually kissed him then she took off. Shit...I never meant to make her cry, you gotta believe that!" He said, looking at Cori who nodded.
"I believe you Enzo. I think we should just let her go right now and give her time to cool down."
"Another shot of Jack please!" Rae slurred, swaying slightly in her seat.
"Ma'am I think you've had enough don't you?"
"I haven't had nearly enough now give me another shot!"
The bartender shook his head but poured her another shot and sat it in front of her. "This is the last one lady. You want anymore and you'll have to go somewhere else."
"Yeah, yeah whatever." Rae mumbled, picking up the shot and throwing it back.
Cori moaned against Cass' lips as he pulled her onto his lap and slid his hand up her bare thigh. Her cellphone ringing caused them to jump slightly, both completely out of breath. "Dammit!"
Cass chuckled and let her go long enough for her to reach her phone. "Who is it?"
"Rae...shit! Hello?"
"Cori Anderson?" A male voice came over the line and Cori looked at Cass in confusion.
"Yes. Who is this?"
"My name is Frank and I'm the bartender at a local hotel. The woman that this phone belongs to is here and she's really drunk. I've refused to serve her anymore but she still won't leave."
"Shit! Okay, umm...I'm in the same hotel she is so someone will be there soon to get her. Thank you for calling me." Cori hung up the phone and shook her head. "That was the bartender from downstairs. Rae's down there drunk off her ass and won't leave...I need to go get her."
"Why not have Zo do it? He's probably the reason she's that way in the first place."
"Good idea." Cori scrolled through her contacts to find Enzo's number.
"Hello?"
"Enzo it's Cori. I just got a call from the bar downstairs...Rae's drunk and causing trouble."
"I'll go get her. It's my fault anyway." Enzo said and he hung up the phone.
"He's going to go get her. I think it's probably a good thing that guy called though." She blushed and Cass chuckled.
"Yeah, things were getting a little intense huh?"
Enzo walked into the bar and immediately spotted Rae. "Baby?" He whispered, laying a hand on her shoulder as she turned to glare at him.
"What the hell are you doing here? I thought he called Cori."
"He did but I told her I'd come get you."
"Well, I wish you wouldn't have! I don't have anything to say to you Enzo!" She snapped, standing up and Enzo had to grab her before she fell over. "Let go of me!"
"No! Now come on...you may not have anything to say to me but I've got plenty to say to you and you're gonna listen."
"Fuck you Enzo!"
"We'll save that for another time when you're not so drunk. Let's go." He nodded his thanks to the bartender then led her out of the hotel all together.
"What the hell are you doing? I want to go back to my room!"
"Not until you listen to what I have to say and the cool air will sober you up enough to understand what I'm sayin'."
"I told you I don't want to hear it"
"Too damn bad! You're gonna listen!" Enzo snapped and Rae stared at him in shock. "Dammit, I'm sorry baby but you need to listen to me. I made a mistake earlier...I never should've jumped on you like that without listenin' to your side of things. I was just so hurt when I saw you two that I lashed out without thinkin' and I'm sorry."
"He put me through hell Enzo. There's no way I'd even give the smallest thought of going back to him." Rae whispered, tears forming in her eyes.
"Aww now come on baby, don't cry. You know I can't stand it when you cry!" He pulled her into his arms, sighing in relief when she didn't push him away.
"I'm sorry, I just can't help it. When I saw the look in your eyes today when you saw Tama and me...God Enzo I am so sorry."
"Nothin' for you to be sorry about baby. It's over and done with now. There's somethin' I wanna ask you though and hopefully you're sober enough now to remember it tomorrow."
Rae pulled back a little and looked up at him. "I am, don't worry. What is it?"
"Have dinner with me tomorrow night? I know you said you're not…" His words were cut off by Rae placing a finger to his lips.
"I know what I said before but...yes I'll have dinner with you."
