Alle Kapitel von My Crush is Gay: Kapitel 31 – Kapitel 40

Nicole’s POVThe next morning, I was still thinking about the watch. The number I saw online kept replaying in my head like a nightmare.Who even buys something that expensive just to tell time?Every time I remembered Odell’s annoyed face, my stomach twisted.I had to replace it, somehow. But the real question was how.Lost in my thoughts, I turned the corner toward my department building and nearly bumped into someone.“Oh— sorry—”I looked up.Alex.He froze too.For a moment, we both just stood there awkwardly.“Hi,” he said, scratching the back of his neck.“Hi.”His eyes avoided mine. He looked embarrassed.Really embarrassed.Which made the memory of the party rush back instantly.The slap. Jason. Everything.“So…” I said slowly, crossing my arms. “What exactly was that about yesterday?”Alex frowned.“At the party,” I continued. “I thought you said Odell and Jason were your friends. But apparently you’re… Jason’s driver?”His expression changed instantly, defensive. “What’s wr

Nicole’s POVI forced a smile.“Wow,” I said lightly. “You really look happy.”Odell didn’t even hesitate.“I am.”The answer landed like a knife sliding quietly between my ribs.Happy.Because of him.Because of Ethan.I kept my smile in place, even though something inside my chest twisted painfully.“So… when are you meeting him?” I asked.“Soon,” Odell replied. “We just have to be more careful now. Since someone already reported us once.”My stomach tightened.Yes.Someone did.Me.But of course, he didn’t know that.Odell rubbed the back of his neck thoughtfully.“I still don’t get it,” he said. “If whoever took that picture wanted money, they could’ve blackmailed me first.”I shrugged casually.“Maybe they just hate him.”“Or me,” he muttered.Then he sighed.“Either way, I’ll find out who did it eventually.”For a brief second, my heartbeat skipped.Find out?But then he shook his head and laughed quietly to himself.“I just wish they’d leave us alone.”Us.That word again.My n

Odell’s POV“I’ll call you back.”That was the last thing I said before I hung up.Before she walked in.Before everything suddenly felt… off.A few seconds earlier, I had been smiling like an idiot on the phone with Ethan Parker.“When are we meeting?” I had asked.“Soon,” Ethan replied. “I’m sorting out a place. I’ll let you know.”I leaned back against the couch, grinning. “I can’t wait to see you again.”A soft chuckle came from the other end. “I miss you too.”Something about the way he said it… It stayed.“How was your day?” I asked.Ethan sighed lightly. “Crazy. I had to stand in for a lecturer.”I laughed. “You? Babysitting students?”“You have no idea,” he said. “I walked into the class and saw a ridiculous scene.”I frowned slightly. “What happened?”“A guy was asking a girl to kneel in front of everyone.”“What?”“Yeah,” he said. “And when I called them to my office, the girl said she wasn’t being bullied. She said she slapped him first and was just apologizing.”I shook my

Odell’s POVI don’t move.I keep kissing her, my grip on her ass tightening just enough to make her gasp. Her nails rake down my back, her body trembling with the effort of holding back. I can taste her frustration, her need, and it’s overwhelming.“Say it,” I murmur against her mouth, my voice a growl. “Say you want me.”She pulls back just enough to glare at me, her eyes dark with lust, her lips swollen from my kisses. “You know I want you, you bastard.”I smirk. “Not good enough.”Her breath hitches. For a second, I think she’s going to argue. But then her expression shifts, her gaze dropping to my mouth before flicking back up. “I want you,” she says, slower this time. Deliberate. “I want your hands on me. Your mouth. Your dick—”I cut her off with another kiss, this one brutal. Possessive. My tongue sweeps into her mouth, claiming her, and she moans, her body going pliant in my arms. The counter digs into her spine, but she doesn’t complain. She kisses me back, her hands fisting

Odell’s POV“What do you mean you got a job here?”The words leave my mouth before I can stop them.I’m staring at Nicole, trying to make sense of what I just heard, but her expression is already shifting—caught, slightly nervous.“I—um… I just got it today and—”“Enough.” The manager’s voice cuts through everything like a blade.“This is my place of business. I will not tolerate this kind of disturbance. All of you, outside. Now.”I barely register it, my focus is still on her. A job? Here? Why?Beside her, Alex steps forward quickly. “Sir, I’ll just go back to work—”“I said leave,” the man snaps, his tone final. “Both of you are fired. You haven’t even started, and you’re already bringing drama. I don’t need that here.”Fired.Just like that.Nicole opens her mouth to speak, but nothing comes out.And for some reason… That annoys me even more.We step out of the café. The door shuts behind us.Silence hangs for a second.Then I grab her wrist—not harsh, but firm enough — and pull h
