|||Lucas' POVAfter a long nap, I woke up later that afternoon, feeling hungry, and went to the kitchen to look for something to eat. Once I got to the kitchen, I was glad that I found some food already cooked. Knowing it was my girlfriend and not that witch who made the food, I served myself some and started to eat in the kitchen.As I ate quietly, my thoughts drifted off to the race. Cindy made me lose the race and it made me so angry that I had to let it out in the boxing ring at the race venue. I was about to get into my car when I saw her walk up to me.When I asked what she wanted, she claimed she was bored and wanted to come to see me race. I tried to chase her away but the race was about to start so that gave her the audacity to jump into my car. She distracted me throughout with her useless directions, tips, and motivation. I had lots of people betting on me last night and she made me look like a flop in their eyes and in the eyes of my boss who has been saying he was going

A lot was going through my mind while I was panicking. Cindy had tears running down her cheeks, the baby had his mouth open while gagging, and Lucas walked into the kitchen looking shocked and confused. My body was rigid in its spot and almost sweaty as I watched what was happening."What's going on here?" Lucas asked but no one paid him any attention.I watched as Cindy turned her baby on its stomach on top of her arm and hit his back aggressively. "Your girlfriend wants to kill my baby!" Cindy yelled through tears. "My baby is choking!""What?!" Lucas looked at me and I shook my head. "I didn't do anything!""Shut up!" Cindy faced me while hitting the baby's back. "Just shut up and pray that nothing happens to my son!""I'm sorry." That was all I could say.Lucas went over to Cindy and took the boy away then positioned him in the same way Cindy had kept him. He started to pound his back while Cindy touched her son's head."It's going to be okay. Mommy's here."I covered my mouth w

I wanted to pretend like I had not heard Cindy speak but the weight of the issues on the ground would not let me act like I didn't care. So, I took in a deep breath and faced them fully, my face blank. I ignored Lucas' stare as I walked up to the table and dropped the things I held on the table. I smiled and slowly turned my head to look at Lucas."What is this bitch saying, Lucas?" I asked through gritted teeth and he looked at the bowl of baby food before him."You heard me and don't call me a bitch, bitch."I poked the inside of my cheek with my tongue as I fought the urge to get across the table to smack Cindy in the face. I chose to clench my hands and continued to stare at Lucas while waiting for a response from him."What's the point of asking him? I told you that Lucas can never be loyal. He's not a one-woman man. Besides, did you think that after what you did to our baby, I would allow you to stay in this place?"I chuckled drily. "So, you told him to kick me out?"I glared a

Something in the air did not feel right but I could be overthinking and overanalyzing the tone Matt had used in speaking. Even the expression on his face was questionable and the way Lucas' eyebrows furrowed at him for a split second didn't help things. The next thing that crossed my mind was the picture I saw in Matt's wallet. What if Matt knew something about Lucas? "Your girlfriend is a remarkable woman," Matt said, placing his hand on my shoulder. The touch was unexpected and made me flinch a bit."Yeah. I know about that. She's a lovely person," Lucas replied.Matt turned to me with a smile on his face. His eyes were a bit distant, making it appear like his mind was not here but his body was."We were supposed to head out today." Matt faced Lucas. "My apologies but your girlfriend and I have plans for today."I racked my head trying to understand what he meant when I remembered that he had called yesterday. I sighed and threw my head back in agony. I wanted to spend some time wi

Jared’s POVThe sound of my alarm ringing loudly forced me awake with an annoyed groan leaving my lips. I squeezed my eyes for a moment and open them again then stared at the wall of my room. Events of last night came to my mind, reminding me of what had happened and how much I hated thinking of it. Thinking specifically of him.I huffed and sat up on my bed, bunching the blanket around my waist. I glared at my door as Axel, filled my head once again. I didn’t know how and why or when this started but recently, he started to piss me off by getting into my head. It made me want to rip my brain out. I hated thinking of him and I hated the growing warmth I felt in my heart when I was around him. I knew the feeling, it was attraction and I hated it with all my heart.I never told anyone about my sexuality as there wasn’t any need to. My bisexuality was something I never told anyone since the day I fell in love with a high school classmate of mine. I hated it because each man I wanted was
