“I’m not going to a strip club,” he deadpans.
I smile at him. Tits and some ass in my face are exactly what I need, but I shake my head. I’m trying to get him out of the house, and I knew he would never go for that. Plus, I don’t want to be on Austin’s shit list. And taking Cole to a place like that will get my name at the motherfucking top of hers. I’m quite fond of my balls, and they would be the first thing she’d go for. “Although that is a fantastic idea, it’s not what I have in mind.”
He sets the container on the countertop next to him and crosses his arms over his chest, arching a dark brow. “I’m waiting.”
I open my mouth to fill him in, but it closes the moment Austin enters the kitchen, and she’s not alone. Becky is with her. My ex.
The girl who I fell in love with. What started as a dare and ended up being so much more. I wish I would have known then what a lying whore she was. I guess a part of me knew. I just thought I’d be the exception. Fuck, when did I turn into a chick?
Junior year
“Dude, let her go,” Eli all but growls as he sees what I’m drooling over.
“She’s with David now.” I say it like it fucking matters. It doesn’t.
“Let him have her ass. You can do better.”
I frown at his tone. Since when does Eli hate Becky?
When I say nothing, he turns his attention to Cole and Maddox as they walk up after leaving the cafeteria.
I lean up against my locker and watch the blonde come down the hallway. I kissed Becky last year by the football field because Eli dared me to. And now I can’t get her out of my mind. It didn’t happen suddenly. No, it was more like a sickness. She slowly took over my mind and body with no cure in sight. Maybe it’s because I know she’s unavailable now. Three months after that kiss, she started seeing David, and now that he has her, I want her. I watch her in class and at parties. And I catch her watching me too. She comes to swim meets but doesn’t speak to me. Instead, she ignores me completely. Just like we agreed.
Her boyfriend, David, comes up behind her and places his hand in hers. She looks up at him but doesn’t smile. He’s too busy talking to Maxwell, his friend walking beside him. I feel my heart begin to beat faster as she approaches me, but he brings her to a stop and then says a few more words to his friend. Once Maxwell walks away, David turns to face her. He leans down and kisses her, pulling her body into his, and her arms come up and wrap around his neck. Just as they did when I kissed her last year. Then just as quickly, he lets go of her hand and walks away, leaving her all alone in the middle of the hallway.
As if she feels my eyes on hers, she looks up at me. I remain leaning against the locker, trying to play it cool as though I couldn’t care less what she does, but it’s all for show.
I care, and she knows it.
I’m jealous that he gets to kiss her, touch her, and fuck her for all to see.
I want a piece of Becky. More than what she already gives me. I want her to be completely mine, but for now, I’ll settle.
Fucking pathetic.
“Deke, there’s a party at Luck’s this weekend. Cole, Maddox, Landen, and I are thinking about going after the meet. You wanna go?” Eli asks me.
I just nod at him, not taking my eyes off hers. “Of course.” I’m always down to get drunk and pretend I’m not obsessed with the blue-eyed blonde.
She walks past, looking me up and down before her tongue darts out and runs along her pink-painted lips. They still glisten from his kiss. “Hey, Deke,” she purrs, then watches me over her shoulder before turning the corner and walking out of my sight.
I slap Eli on the chest, cutting off whatever nonsense he was telling Cole. “I’ll see you all at practice later.” I push off my locker before they can stop me.
I turn the same corner she took and open the first door on the left. Mr. Tomson always leaves his door unlocked. Stupid fucker.
A hand grabs me from behind, and I spin around to see Becky leaning up against the now closed door. “Hey, baby.” I smirk, stepping into her.
She reaches behind her and locks it. “I don’t have much time—”
“Then what are you waiting for?” I cut her off.
Grabbing my shoulders, she spins me around and shoves my back into a wall. Then she falls to her knees before me.
