Drunken Catharsis Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Bo grabbed the phone, his face filled with anger.

“How in the hell did they get this?”

Nora’s body became too heavy, she collapsed on the chair.

“It doesn’t matter, what matters is the conduct of my DA and Commissioner.”
“THIS was private moment inside the DA’s house.”
“The press has this picture Bo, it isn’t private.”
“WHERE IN THE HELL DID THIS COME FROM.”
“Oh that would be from me.”
Nora and Bo turned at the shrill voice. Dorian walked in with Clint behind her. Nora closed her eyes this couldn’t be happening.

“Hello Nora, Bo.”
Bo threw the phone to the ground and went at his brother. Nora quickly stood and grabbed his arm.

“NO! Don’t Bo. He isn’t worth it.”
“Red, he released that picture.”
“I just showed this town what a type of people the DA and Commissioner really are. A traitor and a slut.”
Nora held to him tighter.

“Dorian called me last night, she had found something interesting on the surveillance camera. You should feel lucky that was one the more modest images. At least you both are mostly dressed in this one.”
Nora couldn’t even look at him.

“Clint never mind us, did you think about Matthew for two seconds?”
Clint growled.

“He’ll be fine.”
Bo chest heaved.

“You will stay away from my family. You will never talk to Nora or Matthew again.”
“Matthew is my nephew.”
“A nephew you didn’t think about that when you sent this out to the press.”
“Clint he is going to be so hurt and embarrassed. Bo we need to go get him and talk to him before this hits the news cycle.”

Bo pointed at Clint.

“This is far from over.”
“I never doubted it, now why don’t you listen to your whore and leave.”
Nora couldn’t stop Bo as he punched Clint.

“BO! NO!”
Bo backed away after one punch. He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of building fast. Neither spoke as he helped her into the car. Her stomach was churning. Bo got in and started to drive.

“Bo we need to get Matthew.”
He just nodded and turned in the direction of the Jones’ house.

“How do we explain this Bo? I don’t even understand it.”

Bo shook his head, she could see anger radiating off him.

“Bo pull over.”
He looked at her.

“Why?”
“Please.”

Bo slowly pulled over. She took his hand.

“Bo you need to calm down before we get Matthew.”
“I am so angry Red. How could Clint do this? That was a private moment.”
“He is hurt.”
“But to do this, knowing our son would see this.”
She ran her hand down his face.

“Bo, we’ll talk to Matthew, he’ll be okay.”
Bo raised his eyebrow.

“And what are we going to tell him?”

“I don’t know.”
“I don’t think, we were drunk, will be a good thing to say.”
“It’s the truth.”
“It’s complicated Nora, you know that.”
“How do you explain complicated to a 10 year old?”

“Damn it Clint.”
She reached out taking his face in her hands. She moved in closer as she moved his head closer to hers. Their mouths meet in an intense kiss. Nora moaned as he pulled her body closer to his. Bo hand reached around her and pushed the lever on her seat causing it move down. Bo pulled back slightly and ran hands down her body. She put her hand out stopping him.

“Bo we can’t. Not in a car and not while I am in a floor length dress, plus we really need to get Matthew.”
Bo sighed and kissed her one last time. Nora moved her seat back up as he started to drive again.
