“Yeah, but …” Nate laughs. “Even this is crazy for you, Colt.” He slaps me on the shoulder before turning to face me. “Have you seen Raylee?”
Alex snorts and mumbles, “He’s wishing he hadn’t.”
“How’s that going, by the way?” Finn asks him. “You guys have been together for a while now.”
Five weeks to be exact.I hate myself for even knowing that.
As if that’s an odd question, Nate frowns, wondering why the fuck my friend would care about his love life. “Good.” He finally answers, but his tone sounds unsure as if we know something that he doesn’t.
Ahh, Raylee, your boyfriend just told on you.I bite my lip to keep from smiling. “She’s up in her room,” I say, pointing toward the open front doors, letting him go before anything else can be said.
“Fuck, Colt.” A guy by the name of David runs up the stairs, his cell in one hand and a beer in the other. “You sure know how to piss off Raylee.” He shakes his head and adds, “You guys are brave to let her live here.” He laughs while entering the house.
Nate looks at me. “Ray did this?”
“Makes you wonder what Colt did to get her to go this far,” Finn adds, and I narrow my eyes at him, silently telling him to shut the fuck up.
“What happened?” Nate asks me.
I shrug. “Hell if I know?” If he doesn’t already know, I’m not going to ruin the surprise now. Not without her here too. That would be selfish of me.
Without saying another word, Nate walks past us into the house, no doubt to go find out what the hell I’ve done for her to set my car on fire.
“What do you think that’s about?” Finn asks.
“He hasn’t seen the video,” I answer, smiling. Little Miss Priss doesn’t want him to know that she’s been my dirty little slut.
“I don’t know about that,” he argues. “It’s been all over the internet. I’ve had over fifty people send it to me because they didn’t know I was there.”
I shrug. “It’s the only explanation that makes sense right now.”
“Want me to make everyone leave?” Jenks asks, throwing his cigarette down and stepping on it.
“Let them stay.” I wave him off.
“Sure?”
“Yeah, we were throwing them a party after all.” I end the conversation, entering the house and making my way back up to my room. I walk in to see that Amy had managed to make her way to my bed, but she’s naked and passed out. The thought crosses my mind to storm into Little Miss Priss’s room, force her to her knees, and fuck that pretty face of hers, but I don’t. Nate’s in there, probably getting exactly what I want from her.
I’ll let him have it for now. But it’ll be his last time.
CHAPTER TWO
RAYLEE
PACING IN MY room, I’ve turned my cell off, unable to hear the notifications anymore when the sound of my door opening has me spinning around. I’m half expecting Colt to rush in and throw me down the stairs or drag me outside by my hair while his friends record me as I watch his car burn. But to my surprise, it’s not him.
“Hey?” Nate frowns. Entering my room, he slams the door behind him.
I place my hands on my hips. “What are you doing here?” I just dropped him off at his place after our date was over.
“What’s going on out there?” He points at the now closed door. “Colton’s car is burning to the ground.”
I wave him off. “Colt does stupid shit.” Which isn’t a lie. The video of me floating around on the internet proves that.
“Are you okay?” He walks over to me.
“Of course.” I toss my phone onto my desk now that it won’t be going off anymore. “Why wouldn’t I be?” I test the waters.
