His voice is making my head pound—intensifying my already unbearable headache. I reach for the door handle.
“Don’t you dare walk out of my office!” A glass paperweight flies next to me, hitting the wall so hard it puts a dent in it. “I’m talking to you!”
I open the door and walk right out, getting the fuck out of this place with no intention of returning for the day.
APRIL
I sit atthe bar, a bowl of peanuts in front of me, their shells covering the floor.
Alexa stands across from me, silently judging me. “Would you like another?” she asks.
I slide my empty glass across the bar, and she refills my water. I’m not in the mood to drink. I just want to stuff my face full of peanuts and wallow in self-pity.
“What’s wrong with her?” Derek asks, coming up next to Alexa.
“Grave cheated on her.” She sighs.
“What? You were dating that asshole?” He chuckles. “What did you expect?”
“Derek!” She shoves him away. “That’s a shitty thing to say.”
“I told her the Kings were not people to fuck with.”
“Go work,” she snaps at him.
“He’s right,” I mumble. “I should have never slept with him.”
“Jesus,” he hisses.
A figure plops down beside me. “If sex is all you need, I can hook you up.” Jasmine bumps her shoulder into mine playfully, trying to lighten the mood.
I don’t laugh.
“Speaking of sex,” Derek says. “You free tomorrow night?” he asks her.
Jasmine giggles. “I’m never free. Always top dollar.”
He smirks, his eyes running over her chest. “How much will a hundred get me?”
“My foot up your ass.”
He wiggles his eyebrows. “I could get into that.”
“Oh, you’ll love it,” she answers.
“You two are disgusting.” Alexa shakes her head.
I grab another peanut shell and break it before tossing the peanut in my mouth.
“I have a solution,” Jasmine offers.
“What is it?” I ask, not really caring.
I miss him.That’s the worst part. I fell for a cheater, and my dumb ass misses him. Telling yourself you’re too good for them is easier said than done.
“This.” She gathers her red hair in her hands.
“What are you doing?” Alexa asks.
