Chapter 31 Rowan I didn't expect the announcement to hit me this hard, but it did. My heart plunged into a turmoil as I imagined him kissing her, being with her all the time. All the things that I couldn't do for her and with her. I stretched my hand, cloaking the annoying twinge of disappointment with a smile. “Congratulations, son. She's good for you,” I said, catching a glimpse of her nervousness. It was obvious that her decision to date him was so that she could forget about me. However, that would be nearly impossible since we lived together. “Thank you. Can we talk in private?” he asked curtly. “My room,” I said. His lips brushed her cheek slightly and then he patted her back before leaving. I felt a twitch in my stomach at the little display of affection, but ignored it. Jade was my girlfriend, she wouldn't be happy to see me pine over someone else. We got into my room and found different positions to sit. He rested on my sofa while I sat on the chair close to

Chapter 33Rowan“So, how does it feel to date Jade? I bet it's wonderful,” Lola decided to be salty with me this morning. I chewed aggressively on the toast, ignoring her. Her little tantrums were like music to my ears, and with the shitty workload in sight, I needed some of her sassiness to set me off. “It's peaceful,” I answered simply. Her eyes narrowed, her fork dragging the eggs into little crumbs as she stuffed it all into her mouth. My gaze followed the pout of her lips while she munched furiously, rolling her eyes. “Am I troublesome? Is that what you're trying to call me?” her words were muffled. “You're not, Lola, and if you keep up with this—eating and talking, you're going to choke,” I cleared off the last piece of toast, shoving it down my throat faster with a glass of water. I missed mornings like this when I listened to her bicker tirelessly. Sometimes, I indulged her, but this morning was different because we both had our different partners, yet the silent chemis

Chapter 35RowanOur table was filled with drinks, but I could barely tolerate the taste of the beer I ordered. For the longest time, I avoided beer because it made my stomach bloat and got me intoxicated faster than other types liquor would, yet it surrounded my table, silently daring me to take a gulp. The idea of having it around me was just enough. “No rum tonight?” Lan asked, fingering the cap of a brandy bottle. I tutted my tongue, reclining against the back rest of my chair. “I want to be reminded how much of a piece of shit I am,” My voice had to climb an extra pitch because of the music crooning loudly through the speakers. “What did you not do?” he taunted. I finally had the urge to take the beer while pondering on his question. What did I not do? I didn't avoid Lola when I was supposed to. It was a miracle that I didn't take her last night especially after her leg came in contact with my hard dick. It was the most difficult task I had to do: sleeping beside her whi

Chapter 37LolaI remembered how the night went. How he acted like everything was fine and moving on to trying to make things right. The fact that he fought for me and then apologized, evoked a storm within me. However, I was determined to put the past behind me and focus on Reid. I couldn't hurt him again. A soft knock thumped against my door frame. Reid wasn't coming until later so that left the option of Rowan standing by the door. I straightened, adjusting the strap that slid down my shoulder before asking him to come in. Apprehension was visible in his eyes. His shoulders were taut as if he was being interrogated for a crime he was guilty of. “Good morning,” I greeted casually, my lower part hidden under the quilt. “Morning,” A cute stubble grew overnight under his chin, my fingers itching to trace every strand of it. He barely came to my room in the morning so it was strange seeing him here. “We have guests and they are here for you,” he blurted. My eyes narrowed. “The o

Chapter 39Rowan“Ummm, am I interrupting anything?” Jade's voice came through as I shoved Lyra aside, wiping her sticky lip gloss from my mouth. She grinned wickedly, a glint of triumph in her eyes. Her hands found her zipper which she pushed up slowly, leering at Jade. “You're not, Jade. Shit! What happened was a mistake. She kissed me,” I explained frantically. “Get out of my office, Lyra,” I barked, raking my fingers through my hair. Her hand smoothened over her tousled hair. “Of course I will. Your dick was good, I totally enjoyed every bit of it,” she winked, blowing kisses at me while she sauntered out of the office. I approached Jade not because I was very worried about losing her, but because she deserved an explanation no matter what. However, she backed away when I tried to touch her. “Don't believe anything she said. I didn't touch her,”Hurt loomed in her eyes. “You told me that you were done with her, yet, I found her naked in your office. Do you expect me to believe
