Hubby 383

Zev Sensed Danger

Clarissa had already stormed off, but Caden was still grumbling under his breath.

Zev covered his cars to block those noises.

Kelly, on the other hand, found Caden's temper admirable-he sure didn't bottle things up. People like that? Probably live longer.

"Don't cover your cars. That's rude," Kelly scolded, swatting Zev's hands away.

"He's always done this." Zev looked downright miserable. "When we were in preschool, he cussed out a teacher so bad she cried."

Kelly almost laughed. She sat down next to Zev, cuddling Jasper and Shane in her arms, quietly watching Caden rant.

"Where the heck is Charles? Go ahead, keep covering for him. Some brother you are, Caden snapped, turning his fury on Zev.

"When you were chasing after Kelly and she barely looked your way, who gave you all the bright ideas? That was me. And now you're taking someone else's side? Real classy, man.

"Zev, I swear, if you don't tell me what Charles is hiding from me, I'll spill all your secrets to Kelly."

Caden dragged a stool over and plopped down right in front of Kelly as he continued to curse.

Kelly blinked slowly, amused. "I'd like to hear it. What's he hiding from me?"

Zev gritted his teeth and glared at Caden. "You can't even handle your own boyfriend, and now it's my fault?"

"Oh please," Caden scoffed, "Zev used to be such a heartbreaker in school. Girls would slip him love notes, and he'd toss them straight into the trash. Cold, right?" He continued to spill Zev's secret. "You remember Thea?" he added, going for the kill. "He dated her!"

"Boom!" Zev shot up from his seat, rolling up his sleeves, ready to knock some sense into Caden. "Watch your mouth! That wasn't dating. I was cornered!"

Kelly shot a glance at Zev, narrowing her eyes dangerously.
