“Shush,” Cam said. She looked over my shoulder with wide eyes. “It’s him.”<br /> Ugh, he must’ve come through the door. I looked over my shoulder in time to not see Dr. Mason as I’d expected.<br /> It was Bret, and his pregnant Barbie doll walked beside him. Ugh. “I thought she was staying home,” I muttered. She was the perfect little trophy wife now.<br /> “She likes to come to eat with him.” Cam gave them both a disgusted look. Bret’s new baby mama had been a CNA here at the hospital, working with him in podiatry. I didn’t feel any envy toward them. I was glad to be away from him now, especially knowing the kind of man he truly was. But I definitely hated their guts, both of them.<br /> Bret’s gaze landed on our table, and I averted my eyes, praying he wouldn’t come over.<br /> Baby mama walked toward the line, but Bret turned his direction toward my table. “Damn,” I muttered.<br /> He stopped at the empty chair beside Bernie and directly in front of me. “Hey, Skye. How are you?”<br /> Bernie and Cam watched with wide eyes as I tried not to tell him to go straight to Hell. “Hello,” I said in a stiff voice. I met his gaze, because looking away somehow meant I was less than.<br /> I was one thousand percent better than Bret. I wanted to slap his stupid face and stab my fork in my ear to keep from hearing his stupid voice. He had cheated on me for most of our relationship. It took everything in me not to scream at him. “What have you been up to? I hope you’ve been well.”<br /> “Fine, thanks.” I kept my teeth clenched together and my glare on his lying, stupid face.<br /> “Mary’s getting close to delivery.” He stuck his hands in his pockets and rocked on his feet as if we were having some sort of relaxed, catch-up conversation.<br /> This man had some nerve. The audacity to bring up the woman he’d gotten pregnant weeks before our wedding. This monster. I opened my mouth to tell him to go to Hell when someone put their hand on my shoulder.<br /> It was Dr. Mason. Not Anthony. To me, he would be Dr. Mason. He didn’t deserve to be on a first-name basis, not even in my head. I wasn’t sure how I knew, but even after all this time, I recognized his touch. It felt like electricity passed between us, but with Bret standing right there, I didn’t move. I was in between two men I wanted to be a thousand miles away from.<br /> But if I had to choose one, I definitely chose Dr. Mason. At least he’d left instead of cheating on me repeatedly.<br /> Bret’s gaze glued to Dr. Mason’s hand on my shoulder. Normally, I would’ve pushed it away, but in this case, I was okay with Bret jumping to any conclusion he wanted to.<br /> “Hello, I’m Dr. Anthony Mason.” His hand tightened on my shoulder. “And you are?”<br /> Bret bristled. “Dr. Bret Cooper, podiatrist.”<br /> Dr. Mason huffed through his nose, just loud enough for everyone to hear. “Podiatry, how nice. I’m a pediatric surgeon.”<br /> Bret’s nostrils flared and the corners of his mouth tipped down, one of his telltale signs that he was furious. He couldn’t stand the fact that someone with a more impressive specialty had their hand on my shoulder.<br /> Cam’s and Bernie’s heads swayed back and forth as they watched the pissing contest, and nobody missed Dr. Mason’s hand on me.<br /> “It was nice to see you again, Skylar.” Brett nodded once at Cam and Bernie. “Ladies.” He walked away without saying goodbye to Dr. Mason.<br /> Great. Thanks to those two men, the entire hospital would be talking about this whole exchange. I hated being the topic of gossip for anyone. I dipped my shoulder to get his hand off of it, then pushed the chair back, leaving it up to Dr. Mason to get the hell out of the way.<br /> “Excuse me.” I grabbed my tray and shoved my phone in my pocket, then made a beeline for the tray return area. The small room, off to the side of the cafeteria, was my closest escape and had a second exit into the stairwell so I could go back upstairs and eat something out of the vending machines instead of spending one more moment in this cafeteria.<br /> I vowed to never come to eat lunch here again. Maybe I could get my schedule changed and start working nights. I’d have to leave primary care, but whatever. It would be worth it to not work with or run into either of the men that made me absolutely nuts.<br /> “Who was that?”<br /> He’d followed me. I should’ve known he would. “Hello, Dr. Mason.”<br /> “For the last time, will you please call me Anthony? It’s not like we haven’t known each other for three decades.”<br /> I slammed the tray down and whirled around. “Fine. Anthony. Who that was is none of your business. Please mind it.” Screw him and his name. Calling him Dr. Mason had helped me put some distance between us. But no. It had to be Anthony. I separated out the trash from the dishes on my tray. “And why did you come over there, anyway? With your hand on my shoulder like you own me or something?” I flipped my hair over my shoulder and turned to meet his gaze.<br /> “You are my business, Skylar.”<br /> I burst out laughing, and just like that, I’d had it. No more. “You have no right to me, or knowing me, or knowing about me.” I tried to keep my voice down, but my anger spiked. “You walked out on me, disappeared after a literal lifetime of friendship and never contacted me again.” I pushed past him toward the stairs. “You were my best friend,” I yelled as I slammed into the door and started up the stairs as the door’s bang echoed satisfactorily below me. “Do you know, I still don’t have another best friend?” Anthony’s footsteps echoed behind me, telling me he was still behind me. “I have friends, but I’ve never allowed myself to get as close to another person as I was to you.” Why couldn’t I just answer a question and then move the hell on? <br /> “Skylar—”<br /> “No! I was your business once, but not anymore. I’ll deal with you, because I have to work with you, but you’re not a part of my personal life anymore.” I whirled around and pointed in his face. He was only a couple of steps behind me on the stairwell, and he reeled back and grabbed the rail with a shocked and hurt expression on his face. “And you never will be again.”<br /> We’d reached the primary care floor. I slammed my way through that door and straight into my small office, shutting the door and locking it. I’d have to see him at some point throughout the day, but for now, at least I had a granola bar in my desk.<br /> Screw Bret, and screw Anthony. Both of them were jerks, and neither of them deserved me. I was better off alone.<br /> <br /> An excerpt from The Dragon&#039;s Tattoo. Read the rest today, free on Kindle Unlimited!
