Who Is The Bastard You Are Messing With?

Bethany's POV

The next morning after getting dressed for work I walked downstairs to find Meemaw setting the table and I walked slowly towards her.

"Good morning, Meemaw," I greeted and she nodded her head at me without really replying to my greetings and I sighed knowing I must have offended her in a way.

Of course, just because she was not home does not mean I should be messing with a man in the living room.

"That man looks like a good man," Meemaw says and I smiled knowing her claims were right. He is really a good guy.

"And I think he loves you too, he is whipped for you," Meemaw says and I furrowed my eyebrow at her wondering why she is making things up. "What did you mean by he is whipped up for me?" I asked and Meemaw just smiled.

"When a man could not get his eyes off you for a second and keep checking up on you then that man is definitely in love with you," she says and I wondered if that applied to Carson.

"So you think Carson likes me a lot because he could not stop looking at me?" I asked and my Meemaw nodded her head. "But what was looking at me yesterday you guys were so engrossed in your talk that I bet he was not even sparing me a glance," I say grumpily, and Meemaw just snickers.

"Are you sure that you did not notice he was stealing glances at you the whole night and I think I also saw something interesting at the window last night," Meemaw says and I wondered what she was referring to.

"Some young couple clumped together, kidding themselves passionately…" Meemaw was saying but I quickly interrupted knowing she was talking about Carson and me.

"Ok, fine Meemaw you win but can you please stop saying these things to my face? I am embarrassed," I said slowly and she smiled. "Quickly have breakfast," Meemaw urges, smiling at me and I quickly sit down taking my breakfast since I do not want to be late.

I walked outside my house only to be faced with a man resting leisurely in his car as he smoked his cigarettes. Of course, you can already tell who it was….Anthony.

I don't know if the man was not letting me be and kept shoving his face around me. I decided to ignore him and just go on my way but that was not quite a brilliant move.

"Hey, baby!" Anthony greeted wrapping his hands around my waist with swift speed but I quickly removed his hands glaring at him in the process. "Are you mad? How dare you try that with me?" I asked hissing but the man just smirked but the expression on his face changed immediately like he felt something.

Anthony shoved his head forward towards me and he started sniffing my body and I wondered what was going on. "Who is the bastard that got his scent on you? '' Anthony thundered and I hissed wondering what his actions were all about.

Who is it to question what I do with my body?

"Did you find your mate truly?" Anthony asked with panic evident in his voice and before I could say a word he raised my hair up and started checking my neck and he sighed in relief seeing the place was clean.

"You are not marked yet so who is that fool that is f****g you!" He asked, his face darkened and I wondered what was wrong with the man.

"Get your hands off me you are still no different from before going around acting all jealous but too bad for you this time I am not your girlfriend and I could do anything I want with my body," I say not clarifying his claims of me not having a mate.

"No, you are wrong, Beth, I am different from before…so different and I am also dangerous so don't mess with me and listen to me when I am still nice," Anthony says and for reasons unbeknownst to me I felt his words hold so much meaning.

There was something hidden in his words…. something dark that I could not decipher, I felt crazy Beth cowered in fear and I wondered why.

Why do I feel like the man in front of me has really changed from the sweet innocent man, I knew but someone I could not read anymore? He has become unfathomable to me.

"So what did you think about going on a date with me this weekend?" Anthony asked and I wondered when the man decided to be shameless with his acts.

Which part of 'I don't want to have anything to do with you' does he not understand?

"I do not think that I can do that with you, you can ask someone else to go out with you," I say trying to walk away from the man but he grabbed my hands dragging me back and I jerked it away from him angrily.

Crazy Beth, growled not liking how the man just placed his hands on me and I was also equally irritated. The man does not just know the time to stop.

"Don't you dare touch me!" I warned glaring at him and the man just chuckled. "Don't be too fierce princess remember I was doing more than touching you," Anthony says licking his lips as he gazes moved to my breast and I shook my head in disgust.

Why can't the man just f**k off?

"You said it yourself before but now it is different I do not want to have anything to do with you," I say walking away from him but I was surprised that he let me go this time and it was suspicious.

Even though his actions were suspicious I don't care I just wanted to move far away from the man…not anywhere near him.
