him, she noted his flushing cheeks.  She
wasn’t sure whether it was anger or embarrassment turning his face red, but
Melody was sure she didn’t care.  She just wanted him gone.
    “Well, we’re here
anyway and I think we’ll just stay and help you see your intruder off,” Maggie
returned sweetly, her twinkling green eyes dancing merrily as she winked at
Melody.
    Shooting a scathing
look at Maggie, Bradley sneered, “I’m not sure who exactly you are, Miss, but I am by no means an intruder!”Clearing his throat loudly,
Bradley took another step toward Melody.  “Mellie, I’m not going anywhere until
we sort things out between us.  I love you, darling.  I know I might have made
a few mistakes, but it’s nothing we can’t work through alone .  Perhaps
your…. friends should come back another time.  Honey, we’ve got to work
through our problems and we don’t need an audience for that.  Put the gun down,
baby, and tell these nice ladies to go home,” he demanded, keeping his voice
low, but gentle.
    “First of all, we’re
not nice ladies.  Not to you, that’s for sure, you cheating prick. 
We’re the bitches that are here to make sure you don’t do any further fucking
damage to my friend.  Let’s be real clear on that.  And the way we heard
things, those so-called problems you’re whining about belong solely to you, asshat,”
Patience snarled, glaring at Bradley with a hateful gaze.
    Melody automatically
smiled at Patience’s defense of her even as Bradley’s face tightened in anger. 
He wasn’t used to anyone going toe-to-toe with him.  Usually his money and
status intimidated any opponent he had into submission.  Obviously, he’d never
met anybody like Patience McKinnon.
    “And from what I was
informed,” Maggie added, “You appear to be trespassing at the moment.  That’s a
criminal offense, you know,” she warned coolly.  “Local law enforcement doesn’t
look kindly upon intruders harassing innocent women around these parts.”
    “I’m not trespassing! 
This is my fiancée’s home,” Bradley snapped harshly, his tall, lean body nearly
vibrating with anger.  “If anyone should go, it’s the two of you!”
    “No, it isn’t,” Melody
denied sharply.  “You are the uninvited party, Brad.  I do not want to
talk to you.  Now or ever again.  We’re over.  There is nothing you can say
that will change that.  E-ver,” she explained tightly for what felt like the
thousandth time. 
    “Melody, just hear me
out,” she heard Bradley began to whine, shoving a hand through his thick black
hair.  Once she thought that move of his sexy, the mussed strands of his dark
hair sexy when he ruffled it.  Now, she just felt slightly nauseated as her
temper began to spark dangerously.
    “You cheated ,
Bradley!  You shoved your dick into another woman while you were engaged to
me,” she yelled, her voice a touch shrill as her bad mood amped to epic
proportions.  “No!  Strike that shit.  You stuck your penis into multiple women
– women that – a-freaking-gain - were not me.  Me!  You know me, right,
Brad?   I’m that woman you were supposed to be in love with.  You know,
the one that you couldn’t be bothered to fuck.  You ignored her.  Well, that’s
not completely true.  You ignored me unless you had to take me off the shelf
and trot me around like a good show pony at whatever function your parents made
you attend.  I was such an idiot.  I actually thought you were just
overworked… putting long hours in at the office because your demanding father
was making you prove yourself.  That wasn’t it, though.  You were just putting
long hours in between the thighs of whatever woman would spread them for you! 
That’s why you never had the energy or desire to screw your fiancé, isn’t it?”
    Bradley blanched as his
dirty laundry was aired for the neighborhood to hear.  “Melody, that is enough,”
he hissed, his angular jaw clenched.  “I admit,
