Sandy’s POVI was not okay.I was feeling like a hot potato boiling in a pot. My heart was racing fast and pounding to the point I felt like blood was rushing in my ears. My stomach knotted more and more when I tried to convince myself that sitting on Anthony’s lap was normal.Nope, it was not. There was nothing normal about it. Especially when I could feel his taut stomach against my side, and his warm hand on my naked thigh, followed by his cock that was slightly hard under my butt. The feel of it made me sit stiffly, too scared to move so he would not feel awkward.“Relax,” he whispered in my ear again. “Remember what Raina said.”I glanced at Raina who was standing beside her mother. She winked at me and smirked before looking away. I sighed and forced myself to relax. My body tingled when I felt Anthony’s hand move upper on my thigh. He gripped my thigh and rubbed the spot he gripped. My pussy throbbed and I knew I was so wet from what he was doing.“You need to get used to me to
Sandy’s POVI didn’t know what to feel as I stared at her. She was just as perfect as she had been all those years in school. Even more perfect looking. My heart clenched the more the I stared at her over Anthony’s head.Ida Hills, Anthony’s first crush, the one girl in high school he ever liked. She was here, before us and in that moment, it felt like I had a threat. The silence in the room proved that. Even Anthony no longer stood between my legs but was backing me and I could see how stiff his back was, probably drinking in the sight of the woman in awe. I shifted my gaze back to Ida and took in how much she has changed over the years.Her hair that always reached her shoulder was now long, touching her back. Her body was perfection, slim and curvy with those long legs that Anthony told me he always found sexy. I swallowed as I stared into her bright blue eyes and glanced at her rosy and high cheeks. She was smiling the charming smile she always had on whenever people made her happ
Sandy’s POVFor the umpteenth time that night, I checked my phone for time with a heavy heart. Anthony had not returned and it was close to two in the morning. I could barely sleep or sit or lay at a spot. All I thought about was what he was up to so late at night and why he hadn’t called me. It was unlike him and I purposely did not want to over think anything, especially in the direction of him and Ida. But something in my guts made me believe he was away from the room because of her and the more I put my mind to it, the more I felt like I was going to implode.When the time on my phone swapped from 1:59 to 2 am, I sighed and went to the bed. My body was tired but my mind was too active. I sat on the bed and stared at the door for a while before looking down at the phone in my hand. I was tempted to call him but I did not trust myself to stay calm without being moved by my emotions, especially the hurt I was feeling.I shook my head and laid down on the bed. I stared at a random spo
Sandy’s POVThe four of us sat around a small round table at the small restaurant Trent had told me about. They served a fairly good food, suitable for their rich lifestyle. Ever since we arrived, I had lost my appetite and only put a few spoons of food into my mouth while Ida chatted away with Trent and Anthony about work. It was almost as if I was at a business luncheon with my boss, sitting quietly like the obedient assistant that I was. Anthony only gave me a few glances and that was only when we ordered and when the food came. Ida was all up in his face, getting his attention and making him respond to her. I wanted to believe that she was so invested in him that he barely had time for me. I knew Anthony well enough but these past few hours have been quite confusing for me.“Sandy?”At the sound of Trent’s voice, I raised my bowed head and made eye contact with him. He smiled and looked at my plate before looking back at me.“Why aren’t you eating?”The table became quiet and I di
Sandy’s POVI looked from one person to the next, trying to decipher what Ida had just said. Even Anthony had barely said anything or moved from the sink, and it was making me very angry. Ignoring me was different but not telling me about this as someone who was his best friend and fake partner, that he lives with pissed me off. I was getting tired of this treatment. Just when I was about to march my way to him, Ida got down from the counter and approached me.“I hope you don’t have problems with this. You see, I was the one who asked, and he didn’t want to agree at first, but I told him it is just for a few days. The paper for my apartment is already prepped.”I looked past her to glare at Anthony. My heart was burning from the anger I was feeling. I scoffed and looked to the side. I squeezed my eyes shut for some seconds before nodding my had in agreement.“I am fine with it since my opinion doesn’t count. And you,” I pointed at Anthony. “Mr. Hogan, we need to talk.”I did not wait
Chapter’s Soundtrack: Skin by Sabrina CarpenterSandy’s POVI was stunned to the bones at what he had said. I stared at him, trying to get a hint of joke from his appearance but there wasn’t. The most part was how he had said such to the hearing of Anthony and his secretary. It made my cheeks flame up from embarrassment and from the strong meaning behind those words. My heart fluttered a bit just from hearing him speak and when he came closer, I swallowed. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Anthony move as if he wanted to approach us, but Ida popped out of nowhere and held his arm. I sighed and focused on Trent who was still looking me in the eyes. He took my hand and pulled me into my office with him. He shut the door and leaned on it before looking at me with a smile on his face." Trent,” I said, being loss of words.He chuckled. “Ignore what I said out there. I wanted to piss the fuck out of him.”I blinked and craned my head sideways in confusion. I furrowed my eyebrows, and he w
Anthony’s POVI felt like a loser. A fool at most as I watched my best fucking friend drive out of the courtyard from my office window. My heart tugged as I stared at the back lights of her car and even after her car disappeared around the corner, I continued to stare at the gate, wishing I could change everything that had happened ever since Ida showed up. Just thinking about made me feel even more restless and helpless.I sighed and walked away from the window then stopped when I heard the door of my office open. I gritted my teeth at the sight of Ida. She approached me with a sad look on her face. I was not in the mood to ask questions about it. I turned away and crossed the other side of the room to the table that held all my drinks. I picked up a glass and grabbed a bottle of whiskey.“I have been keeping quiet about her, but I don’t think she likes me. It’s good that you made her leave. She is just too much. How dare she push me because she can’t get over the fact that you no lo
S A N D YI woke up to the sound of my phone ringing so loud. It made me groan, hating the fact that I had to wake up, cutting my sleep short. I wanted to let the phone ring but I knew who it was from and how consistent the phone call was going to be if I don’t accept it. I opened my eyes and rolled onto my back, then sighed out loud. I groaned and looked to my side where my bedside table was. I glared at my phone that sat on the table before pushing myself toward the furniture. I grabbed my phone and laid my head on the pillow. I rolled my eyes at the caller's identity. It was my boss, also known as my high school best friend. “It’s Saturday, why the hell is he even calling me so early in the morning?” I grumbled as I stared at the ringing phone. When the call stopped, I smiled, hoping he would take that as an answer and know that I am asleep.As always, he did not stop and called again. I hissed and accepted the call.“Yes?! What it is, Anthony? Can you let me enjoy my weekend? Do
