Disappointment

Chapter 11LolaShe traipsed toward me, her steps fluid and calculating. Even with all the smiles and faux friendliness, I could see clearly how much she hated me. She thought of me as a distraction, a competition. I did the same. When she sat beside me, jealousy roared in my veins. I didn't like that she was here. Her presence was a reminder of what Rowan and I could never be. “Lola, dear. How are you doing? Does your head still hurt badly?” she reached for my neck, placing the back of her palm against it. I almost flinched, but I stayed still. “It does, but it will get better soon,” I replied curtly. “Oh, and your boyfriend. Has he come to visit? I mean, you should be with him so that he can take care of you,” she chirped mindlessly while I wondered if that was how she spoke or she was just messing with me. Rowan interjected. “She doesn't have a boyfriend anymore. That bastard is the reason she's in so much pain,” his voice reverberated with anger and so much possessiveness as

Friends?

Chapter 12RowanI peered down at the hardness of my cock and gulped, scoffing at my delusion. Why did I believe that I could lie on that bed with her and not think of a hundred and one ways to fuck her senseless?When our lips brushed, I swear I wanted her to press her body close to me and devour her. She sensed it and began to play on it, caressing my arm like a god to be reverenced. It took every ounce of self control in me to get away from her. Her disappointed sigh still lingered in my head, but it was for the best. I found a bottle of Bacardi rum in my wine cellar and opened it, pouring a greedy amount of the liquor into the glass. My lips embraced the rim of the cup, gulping the content in one swoop. Lyra joined me, collecting the bottle from me. She picked a glass and served herself. I felt uneasy around her, but at the same time, I couldn't ask her to leave. Other than being my sex buddy, she was a friend and also a business partner. We had to be together most of the time.

A date

Chapter 13LolaHe froze, the struggle and conflict to withdraw glaring in his eyes. “I don't want to, Lola,” he refused gently. Anger shot through me instantly. “Why?” The question came out cool yet sharp. He fell silent, expression contoured into stoicism. I wondered why he became indifferent every time I talked about Reid. He was obviously hurt by the distance between them and even longed for him, yet, he didn't let me in to help him find a solution. “Answer me, Rowan. Don't I have the right to know what happened between both of you?” I asked angrily. “No, you don't!” he fired. “Yes, I do!” His chest rose and fell rapidly as though he was trying not to snap. I didn't care if he did, I wanted to break through his walls, the stronghold that guided his heart and made it seem impenetrable… and I would. “Reid has been my best friend since I got admitted to college. We connected on the first day and if there's something I know so well about him it is the fact that he cares and lo

Jealousy

Chapter 14Lola I expected him to crack up and admit that he was joking but nothing of the sort happened, instead, he continued to gaze at me expectantly.Feeling rather gobsmacked, a deep chuckle trickled out of my throat. It didn't stop there as I roared into a hearty laughter, attracting the attention of passersby. He pulled me away from the foyer and then to the field, saying nothing as my laughter faded into soft giggles. “Reid, what did you just say?” my voice croaked from all the laughter.I'd expected him to say something different, but he repeated what he'd said before. “I want you to go on a date with me,” he reiterated, his expression deadpanned.“You're serious,” I said, feeling rather frightened that the man I saw as my best friend pushed for something more than platonic. Before making further assumptions, I clarified myself. “What kind of date are we talking about?”“A dinner date. I've made a reservation for us at a very good restaurant already,” he replied. My ey

The sparring session

Chapter 15Rowan “So she went on a date with someone else, huh?” Lan repeated slowly. I sent him a glare, wondering if he had poor comprehension skills or was just trying to annoy me. “You heard me,” I stifled, gearing up. We were currently in the boxing area which was two rooms away from the gym. I needed to spar, to release all the pent up anger that gathered after Lola went for the date. Even now, I contemplated calling her and pleading with her to return home. “Do you know who the person is at least?” he probed with a smirk, pushing me to the brink of throwing a punch at him.I willed myself not to react, and waited to get into the boxing ring where I could properly pummel him for being intentionally annoying. “It's Reid,” I'd seen him step out of his car to open the passenger door for Lola to get in. He exploded with laughter, his shoulders shaking as he flung his palm over his mouth. “The competition is against your son now?” Lan had been my friend for years but recentl

Overstepping boundaries

Chapter 16LolaReid hadn't taken his eyes off me since we arrived at the restaurant, but it wasn't his gaze I wanted on my body. It was the man whom I'd left at home panting and pining over me. Satisfaction radiated within me at my successful attempt to make Rowan jealous, but I wished I didn't walk away at that moment. I might have just gotten what I wanted—a night with him. “You're stunning, Lola. Zane was such a fool for cheating on you,” Irritation crawled on my skin on hearing his name. Zane was past tense, the least of my worries. He'd been too impatient and honestly, I don't regret keeping myself from him. “Can we not ruin this dinner with his name? It feels wrong talking about him,”“As you wish, my lady,” he beamed. He poured out some red wine for us while we waited for our meal to arrive. The sweet tangy taste of the wine ran through my tongue, stirring some warmth within me. “Thank you for bringing me here,” I said. I was truly grateful for the distraction because b

A confession

Chapter 17LolaThe daze wore off as I pushed him off me, backing away from him in utter dismay. I was irritated and confused at the same time because the Reid I knew would never kiss me without my consent. “Are you out of your mind?” My voice was chill no matter how much I wanted my words to express my shock. “I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me,” he apologized, however, sincerity was lacking in his voice. He sounded like he wanted to do it again. “No, you knew what came over you. You've been acting weird all day with the way you keep looking at me like you want me. Have you forgotten that we are best friends? You're not supposed to be kissing your best friend!” I said in exasperation. At that point, I just wanted to vanish from his presence, crawl into my bed and pretend the night never happened. “But what if I want us to be more than best friends?” he retorted. I held my breath, rummaging through the current dynamic of our relationship. Things had shifted slowly betwee

An addiction

Chapter 18Lola Breakfast, the next morning was silent, anxiety filling my stomach faster than the overnight oat did. I was two scoops away from emptying my plate when his deep velvety voice cleared, causing my insides to fold. Till now, I couldn't get his passionate expression while groaning my name last night out of my head. It stuck there, reappearing every millisecond just to torment and remind me of what I couldn't have. “So why did you return home?” he began. My eyes rolled in their sockets at his bland question. I was so sure he didn't want to know, he just wanted to start a conversation to disrupt the weird vibe going on. Other girls would be pissed that their guardians fucked women ruthlessly everywhere in the house, but strangely, I didn't. I looked forward to seeing him unhinged, unsated with other women as long as it wasn't Lyra, the bitch. Was I crazy? “Because there was no need for me to spend the night with him,”“Explain,” he growled, sounding like my late fath

Trouble in paradise

Chapter 19RowanLyra walked into my office, her face visibly radiating with excitement. “There's news,” she beamed. I could use the distraction, after all, I hadn't accomplished much even though my eyes had been glued to my laptop all morning. “Spill, Lyra,” I said in a lazy drawl. She scoffed, stomping her foot on the floor. “Don't kill the fun, Mr Grouch. Guess who is visiting,” Nothing came to mind so I shrugged. “Cut to the chase, Lyra,” My tone became stern. Her head jerked backward in surprise but she made no comment about my mindless response. It was one thing I envied about her—her ability to ignore inconsequential matters. “Ms Jade Ashworth from BlueGen is here,” her full dentition was set on display. Her excitement rubbed off on me as I jolted to my feet, moving around the desk to grab her arms. “You can't be serious,” I shook her vigorously, my eyes still reeling in shock. “I asked her to wait in my office so I could brief you, but we can't keep her waiting any lon

A new guy?

Chapter 20LolaI'd never been to a pool party before. There hadn't been any need for me to be scantily clad while dancing around a pool but tonight, my guardian decided it was best we attended such a party together. I might have been excited if I didn't understand that this was one of his power plays. But I intended to turn the game against him. Maybe he'd be fuming and regretting why he brought me over when I was done, but I sure hell won't be the only miserable person lurking around. His eyes sought after me from his standpoint with Lan, the host. A certain kind of possessiveness glinted in his orbs. I knew that I looked hot. Getting a proper outfit was impromptu, but the white halter neck crochet dress I chose proved to be perfect for my mission. The mesh stitch did nothing to hide the thong I wore underneath. No matter how much he tried to hide it, his expression kept revealing how bothered he was seeing men gawk at me. I ignored him and went to the buffet stand. A young m
