"I stopped being your girl when I found your dick deep inside Clover. Fuck off, Julius, and stop calling me." I hung up with a harrumph. Julius had ruined any kind of happiness I had left this morning. He had irritated me as well as Lucas for answering my phone. Not wanting to waste any more time, I took my dress from the couch and rushed to his room to put it on, saying nothing to either of the men in the living room. I need to leave and head to the gym. I feel the sudden urge to punch something. Neither Lucas nor Leo said a word to me when I returned dressed in last night's outfit.I wish this dress was longer.
I sent a message to Hailey while I got dressed and called for an Uber. I'm not staying here much longer. Lucas has me in such a spell, one I need to break. I can't be getting involved with a guy like him. He'd crush my heart if I let him. There's nothing here for me but a good fuck, and I need to remember that.
"Leaving already?" Lucas asked. For a second I thought I saw disappointment in his eyes, but it was gone in a blink of an eye.
"Yeah, I need to go."
"Sorry again about earlier." Leo hung his head. I could tell he felt bad about it. He's a sweet guy.
"Let's just pretend it never happened," I told Leo, but I looked at Lucas as I said it. Maybe it would be better if I could convince my brain this never happened. The absolute bliss he brought me was all a dream. Lucas closed the space between us, grabbing my chin gently. He lifted my head up, so I was looking into his deep brown eyes. He leaned down, kissing me gently. It differed from the millions of hungry kisses he gave me last night. It was gentle and warm, making my heart flutter in my chest.
"Goodbye, Rose," he whispered to me, before going to sit with Leo on the couch, not sparing me another glance.
I don't know why it infuriated me, but it did. I double-checked to make sure I had everything before leaving. It's better to wait for the Uber outside than be in here with him. I said nothing as I left, accidentally slamming the door behind me.I can't let this happen again.
Chapter 4
Lucas' P.O.V.
Last night was amazing. I had finally gotten Rose in my bed again where she belongs. She was as beautiful as I remembered, if not more so. The sounds she made as she moved her body had me so wrapped up in her. My dick twitched thinking about it again.
She'd gotten onto me last night for trying to dance with her when she thought I had a date, but it seemed she was in a relationship, or so I thought when I answered the phone. I wanted to ruin it, and make her solely mine. I wasn't expecting to hear the asshole had cheated on her. Who would ever be stupid enough to do such a thing to a woman like her?
I wanted to keep her here with me, but I had to watch her leave. I wanted to spend the morning with her, having her as my breakfast. Again, she left in a hurry, as if spending any time with me was too much to ask of her. I was here to please her and nothing more. I felt my stomach drop when she looked at me as she responded to Leo.
Let's just pretend it never happened.
Were those words directed at me, too? How can I pretend it didn't happen if it's all I can think about?
"Why'd you want me to stay away from her?" I asked Leo, needing to redirect my brain.
"I was hoping to get a chance." He shrugged. I could tell he was feeling down about it. It was probably a dick move on my part to steal Rose from him last night, but I couldn't help it. She drives me nuts. I hoped sleeping with her one more time would get her out of my system, but somehow it's gotten her further in.
"Sorry, Leo. Hate to sound like a child, but I saw her first." I winked at him, making him give me a small smile. I pushed his shoulder with mine, almost making him fall over. "Let's go get some breakfast at the little cafe you like so much. Maybe your favorite barista is working." I wiggled my eyebrows at him. He's always been shy when it comes to making a move on a girl. By the time he gathers his courage, someone else has already claimed her. Leo's a great guy, just needs a little more confidence.
"Yeah, alright." He sighed. He's going to be insufferable today with the moping.
"Let me get changed, then we can take the car."
Maybe she's still outside.
I hurriedly put on clothes, dragging Leo out of the apartment, hoping to get a last look at my Rose. I was too late. She was gone again. I wish I could have gotten her number, but maybe it's best I didn't. This girl is bad news for me.
“Good morning. What can I get for you two?” The barista greeted us as we approached the counter. I elbowed Leo, trying to get him to say something to the girl. She flashed us a smile, her blue eyes looking over at me. I rarely come up in line. Normally, I meet Leo here and he has my coffee already ordered. Leo leaned forward, dazzling her with his flashy smile.
“Hey, Carly. Can we get two black coffees, please?” Carly pried her eyes away from me, smiling back at Leo.
“Of course. Can I have your name?” She asked me as she wrote Leo’s name, already having him memorized.
“Luke.” I told her the name I prefer for people to call me.
“Got it. They’ll be ready soon.”
To avoid the feeling I was trying to upstage him, I let Leo pay for the coffee, even though I could have done it myself. I took a seat at the table and watched as Leo waited at the counter for our drinks. In order not to jeopardize Leo's chances, I stayed away so I wouldn't get in his way. I hope he finds the courage to open his mouth and say something to her.
“Here.” He shoved the cup of coffee in my hands, almost making it splash on me. He looked pissed.
“What happened?” I asked, slightly annoyed at his outlash. He scoffed, sulking in his chair. I looked down at my cup, seeing my name, but beside it was a phone number with a note.
