“You’re so full of shit,” Diesel hissed from across the table.

Andrei’s eyes narrowed, and his hand fisted on the table. “Fuck you, Diesel. I don’t owe you shit.”

Diesel crossed his arms over his broad chest and tapped the black eye Andrei had given him. “Oh, well, you’ve already proven that, haven’t you?”

Chief laid his hands on the table and looked between us. “We’re ending this conversation right now. We’re family, got it? And family doesn’t talk to each other like this.”

Diesel gave Chief a fake smile. “Mine sure did. Besides, why’re you looking at me?” He pretended to be offended then gestured his hand at Andrei. “He’s the one who chose a slut over his brother.”

“You know what, forget it. Trying to get through to you is like talking to a wall,” Andrei said then walked out of the kitchen, leaving a heavy atmosphere and unpleasant tension behind.

Reaching across the table, Diesel grabbed another vegan taco and took a big bite. “These taste like shit, but I’ve had worse,” he said with his mouth full, acting like he wasn’t bothered with what just went on. It was complete bullshit, and we all knew it. If there was one thing Diesel cared about, it was Andrei.

Chief gave Diesel a side-eye before he stood. “I’ll go talk with him.” He placed his arm on Jessie’s shoulder and gave him a compassionate look. “You good, Champ?”

Jessie smiled, giving him a thumbs-up then went back to his food. Because of what he’d gone through as a kid, screaming and fighting easily triggered him, mostly when it happened inside the house.

After Chief left the kitchen, the three of us sat in silence until Diesel narrowed his eyes at Jessie who was staring at him while chewing.

“What do you want?” he hissed.

“Did you really fuck those two girls?”

That’s what bothers you, Jessie? If Diesel really had a threesome?

“Why are you asking?” He took a bite from his taco. “Wanna try it yourself?”

Jessie chuckled and shook his head. “I was just asking. How does it work?”

Diesel’s frown deepened, his brows lowered as he glared at Jessie. “How does what work?”

“Like, do you fuck them both at the same time? Do they fuck each other?”

“Just look it up or something, you creep.” Diesel tried to brush him off, but Jessie grabbed his arm.

“Come on, Diesel. Tell me. I want to know.”

Diesel’s eyes darted quickly to me before they returned to Jessie. “Fine, what do you want to know?”

“Was it your first time?”

“What? Fucking two chicks?”

Jessie nodded, and Diesel rolled his eyes. “No.”

“Really?” Jessie gasped in amazement as if Diesel had just told him a well-kept secret.

“Yes, really. Now, is there anything else you want to ask, or can I go and leave you freaks alone?”

Why was he always so cruel?

“Was it fun?”

Diesel rolled his eyes again, making Jessie more eager to get his answers.

“Answer me,” Jessie said, nudging Diesel’s arm.

“Sure, it was fine.”
