Jack sniggered, then took a bite of the spinach pie he'd ordered for breakfast. It wasn't the funniest story he'd heard Jenny tell about her one-night stands, but it was close. "Small and boring? Love, I thought you had better taste than that. No, no, I know you have better taste than that. So what made you..."
"And--oh my God..." Jenny gasped, staring over his shoulder.
jack took another bite. "He's here, isn't he?"
"He just walked in," she hissed. "I don't want to have to explain everything that's wrong with him--I don't even know where to start--and I don't want him to see me and start bragging. So let's just finish up quickly and go."
Nodding, Jack glanced at a painted mirror on the wall. The man was handsome enough, he supposed. Handsome enough that he could see why Jenny had taken a chance on him last night, at least. A dark-haired woman walked next to him - not stunningly beautiful, but attractive enough to rate a second look. And even a third. She didn't look happy, though, and in a moment it was easy to see why. The two young women - young enough to be his daughters, he guessed, and pretty in a vapid sort of way - that accompanied him.
He shook his head in disgust at the man's antics. Not that there were four of them, mind. His own relationship with Jenny had seen them enact similar scenes at breakfast over the decades. But they'd always all looked happy to be there, and the older woman, probably his wife, most certainly did not. Which made the man's antics despicable. "However did you end up with him?" Jack asked, signaling the waiter.
"Oh, I wish you'd been there Aeode," he heard the man say. "That strumpet was willing to do anything for me."
Jack froze, listening intently.
"Could I have had her?" the woman he was pawing giggled. "I know how much you like that..."
"I'm sure you could have," the man said, laughing at his wife's expression of disgust. "The red-headed slattern was begging for it. Begging, I tell you! She'd have done anything I asked..." He paused. "Anything."
"Red-headed slattern..?" Jack hissed, voice dangerous. "He's talking about you, isn't he?" He started to rise. "I'll be right back. I'm going to go kick the living shit out of him."
"And--oh my God..." Jenny gasped, staring over his shoulder.
