Honeymoon
Clint tugged at his denim button-up shirt, the threading frayed a bit towards the cuffs that were rolled to his elbows. He was a bit older now, mid-thirties, and a silver wedding band on his finger.
As much as he hated that thing, it was a constant reminder to be careful. Donât let anyone too close and donât make fucking mistakes.
"I can't believe she blackmailed you," Cain spoke as he fingered the lip of his scotch glass, "Anna thought there had to be a reason you finally decided to get married. Guess now I know." His friend let out a drunk chuckle, taking another drink of the amber fluid.
Blood was pounding through Clinton's ears; he wasn't sure if he felt angry or just defeated. Granted, he already had two kids but there was something about marriage that just felt...Like a leash. This woman had him by the balls, she knew all his secrets and had sabotaged her birth control. Twice. Hell, he had to go get a fucking vasectomy behind her back and hiding the stitches wasn't easy.
"Yeah, laugh all ya want," Clint grumbled, peeling the label off his beer with short nails, "Real fuckin' funny."
Cain seemed to perk a bit, a concerned look on his face, "You're not going to-"
"No."
Cain's tone lowered into a warning, "Clinton..."
"I said I'm not gonna." He pushed his beer towards the end of the bar, signalling for another, "Jesus."
