EVA. 

"You look stressed. " Aliya remarks as she walks through the door and I nod, looking behind her. "Did she leave?"

She nods and throws herself beside me. "She said to call her later. "

"But you won't do that, will you?" I lift my brows at her and she smirks, saying, "No chance. "

I laugh and shake my head. 

"Why aren't you on the bed?" She asks and I narrow my eyes. "The bed you just had that girl doing God knows what? Nah, I'll pass. "

"We didn't do much. Do you want the details?" She cocks her brows and I frown. "What? No! Fuck off, Aliya. "

She chuckles and moves to the bed. A sigh leaves her parted lips as she lays back and throws her head to the side. "I'm afraid she ruined me for everyone else, Evie. Janet was so damn good, but God help me– I couldn't stop picturing that girl while she had her tongue on me. "

"You need to get your mind off her, Aliya. You don't even know her name. " I tell her and she nods, turning her head towards me. "I don't and I'm so pissed I keep thinking of her. "

I cackle. "You'll get over it. "

"I will. Once I suck enough pussies. " She winks and I roll my eyes. 

"What's up with you?" She asks, sitting up. 

"What's wrong with me?" I repeat with lifted brows and she tilts her head to the side, "I don't know, but there's something. Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"No. " I say sharply and a smirk crawls over her face as she shifts closer to me. "Have I ever told you how bad you are at lying to me? "

"Your first time mentioning it. " I shrug. 

"You're lying, babe. Spill. " She urges and I groan, throwing my hands over my face. "I don't want to talk about it, Aliya. "

"Why?" She asks and I peer at her through the space between my fingers. "Because it's something I regret. "

"Fine, " she huffs. "Only because I'm in a good mood. So what are you doing tonight? Does daddy's girl have a plan to sneak out this time?"

"Don't call me that. " I snap and she laughs. "But that's exactly what you are. "

"Aliya..." I call in a warning tone, pinning her with a glare and she rolls her eyes before holding up a hand. "Fine. What's my so beautiful babe doing tonight?"

I give her a soft smile. "More like it. "

"Fucker. " She cusses with a grin. 

"Pussy. " I retort with a smirk. 

"I love eating them. " She winks and I roll my eyes. "Don't turn this into something else. "

"You asked for it. " She says as she stretches her hand across the bed to grab her phone. 

"For your question; I need to go out. I need to get laid, Aliya. " Her smile spreads further into a grin and she's by my side the next second, clutching onto my arm. 

"What should I do, Eva? I'm afraid I'm such a bad influence on you. Your dad will end me if he knows of this. " She says with a playful terrified face. 

"Good thing he'll never know. " I assure her and she hums, throwing her face in my neck. "You might not be good at lying to me, but you sure are at lying to your father. "

"Get off me, bitch. " I wrap my hand around her forearm and throw her off me, causing her to land on the bed; only because she allowed me to. 

"Nine tonight. I'll meet you at your place. " She announces and I throw her a smile, saying, "You're the best, have anyone ever told you that?"

She laughs and turns her attention back to her phone. "Trust me. You aren't the first girl to tell me that. " And there she goes twisting my words into something naughty.

I take gentle steps towards the door and as I wrap my hand around the doorknob, and twist it slowly – mom's voice echoes around me. "Where do you think you're sneaking to, young lady?"

I gasp and turn around with wide eyes, throwing my back against the knob. "Hey, mom! Didn't see you there!" I chuckle nervously and she furrows her brows as she moves forward with a glass in hand. 

"Where are you heading to, Eva? "

I part my lips to speak, but she cut me off. "The truth please. "

I sigh and move away from the door. "A night out with Aliya. "

I peer at her under my lashes when she gives no response and she's staring at me with a soft smile on her face. 

"It's exhausting, isn't it?" She says and I arch my brows. "Having to sneak out to have fun with your friend?"

Whereas Matt is super protective, mom tries to tone down the protectiveness, but it's no better, which is why it's a surprise she said those words. 

"It is. " I respond and she nods, saying, "I know, baby. I'm sorry you aren't as free as you want to, but you have to understand your father. His intentions are pure and he's only scared. "

"I know, mom, " I smile, striding towards her and covering her hands with mine. "I know why dad is doing all these, but he also has to understand I'm nineteen and I'm capable of protecting myself. "

"I always remind him of that. " She whispers and lifts her free hand to my face. "You're grown, Eva. You should get to have this freedom— " She pauses, drops her hand and sighs. "Unfortunately your father is a stubborn one, but not tonight. "

My brows shoot up in anticipation and she nods in affirmation. "Go have fun. I'll cover up for you. "

"You're serious? This isn't some kind of test to land me into trouble, is it?" I lift my brows and she chuckles, holding my head and pressing her lips to my forehead. Pulling back, she says, "You know me better than that. "

"Thank you!" I beam excitedly, jumping into her arms and almost knocking the glass from her hand in the process. 

"Sorry, " I whisper as I pull back. "I got excited for a minute there. "

"Just go. " She chuckles and I nod, planting a kiss to the side of her face before heading towards the door. 

"Eva—" Mom calls when I pull the door open and I turn back to her. "Be careful. " I respond with a smile before walking out the door, shutting it behind me. 

EMERSON. 

"Isn't that the Eva girl?" Ayden nudges me with his elbow and I look towards the direction he pointed to see Eva Carson walking in with the same girl who's always beside her. She's dressed in Jean pants and a lace crop top plus a dark jacket with her ash blonde hair curled into a bun. 

Eva Carson. 

A girl I despise. 

The daughter of Matt Carson — my dad's business rival and my next house neighbour. 

"She looks hot. " Jaxon smirks beside me, and I look back to him to see his eyes focused on her before looking back at her. There's no doubt that Eva Carson is a hot piece of cake. A forbidden piece of cake that I would never get entangled with. That thought brings me back to last night: That priceless look on her face as she watched me fuck Val. I bet she's never seen a guy fuck a girl before her very eyes, which makes me wonder what the hell she's doing here; at a place filled with wild people when she should be snuggled up in her room while her daddy pets her to sleep. 

I've known Eva Carson for years, and if there's anything I've noticed unwilling about her– it's that she's a daddy's girl and that's one of the things I abhor about her. 

"Damn. Her friend is hot. " Ayden whispers, and my eyes move to the curvy girl beside her with dark blue hair. The thought to approach her just to piss Carson off crosses my mind, but that thought is fast to flush down the drain when I sight blue checking out a girl next to them. 

"Emerson. " The girl between my thighs calls me and I drop my gaze to her with lifted brows. "You aren't paying attention to me. " She pouts and I roll my eyes. 

"Yes, dude. Pay attention to your girl. " Ayden winks beside me and I sneer at him before pushing the girl from me. 

"Where are you going?" She whines. 

"I need the restroom. " It's the only thing I say before making my way to the restroom. 

Shutting the restroom door after finishing my business, my lips curls up in a smirk at the sight before me and I lean against the wall, folding my arms against my chest. 

"This is interesting, isn't it?" Carson raises her head from the guy's shoulder and meets my gaze with wide eyes. Wide, nasty eyes. 

"Do you know him?" The guy asks as he pulls away from her, letting her move from the wall she was previously pinned to. 

"Yes, Carson. Do you know me?" I arch my brows at her, but she says nothing. Just stand there. Fuming in anger, and I'm not joking about that. The girl is literally fuming. 

"I should go. " The guy says before walking down the hallway and Eva turns to me when he's out of sight. She spats, "What the hell is wrong with you?"

I raise an innocent brow. "What is wrong with me?"

"Why did you do that?" She asks, taking a step closer and I push my body from the wall to move towards her. "What? So you can watch me fuck, but I can't watch you about to get banged? That's not playing fair, Carson. "

"Fuck. Off. " She snarls before taking the other turn and I chuckle. "Does your daddy know you're out here about to get banged by a stranger?"

She turns to me; her hands balled into fists and her eyes full of anger... Hate, disgust, resentment and every other negative emotion she always has around me. 

There she is. The Carson I'm looking for. 

The one who despises me just as much as I hate her.
