“Oh my god!” she screeches as she runs towards us. I don’t miss the looks between her and Jasper. She almost jumps into my arms and pulls me in for a hug.
“I can’t believe those boys have held you hostage since you arrived back! I have so much to tell you.”
“I know you do,” I say, wiggling my eyebrows at her. She looks over my shoulder at Jasper. Linking our arms, she pulls me away leaving him to trail behind us.
“Do you think he can hear us?” she whispers.
“No, I can barely hear you,” I state, knowing damn well he will be able to hear, it's why he’s paid so well to protect me. A little tidbit of info that Kalen dropped while we were naked.
“I’m so confused,” she complains, taking us into the cafeteria. She knows I need all the coffee. Jasper points to the coffee machine and I nod.
“About what?”
“Jasper. We hooked up.”
“I knew it!” I yell. Elsie leaps across the table and throws her hand across my mouth.
“Shhh!”
“Okay,” I mumble, my words muffled by her hand. She gives me a ‘be serious look’ and removes her hand.
“I’m a lesbian,” she whispers.
“Why are you whispering? I didn’t think that was a secret.”
“It’s not, but how can I like a boy?”
We both turn to look at Jasper and he happens to look over at us, confused as to why we are staring.
“He’s hardly a boy.”
“That’s not the point.”
“Okay, so you like Jasper. Have you considered that maybe you just like him as a person and not because of his gender?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never liked a boy before.”
“You’re still young, you’re allowed to not know how you feel. Don’t talk yourself out of it just because you’ve put yourself in a box.”
“Youknow you’re straight.”
“I do, but that is because I’ve only been into men so far, but I never thought I would have four boyfriends.”
“And I bet they look fine naked.” I snort when Jasper places our coffees on the table at that exact moment. Elsie goes beetroot red. I look up at Jasper.
“She sees one dick and now she’s cock crazy, you must have magic powers.”
He shakes his head at me and goes to stand by the wall. Elsie is mortified into silence.
She recovers quickly and goes back to her bubbly self, rambling on about how she spent her holidays. I, however, notice everyone in the room glancing at me. They can’t still be pissed about the photos and secrets.
Kalen comes barrelling through the doors at the speed of lightning. I watch Onyx close on his heels, everyone waiting to see Onyx beat his brother. Breakfast and a show.
Kalen comes up behind me and lifts me from my seat, using me as a human shield.
Onyx stops, stares, and smirks.
Kalen mumbles shit and I laugh.
