me after lying to get me into bed and then acts like I’m the bad guy? I knew it. I fucking knew it! God, how could I be so dumb! Tony was so wrong. I wasn’t out of line for assuming that Logan lied to me, I was out of line for believing he really had feelings about me in the first place.
“Glad you remember I live here.” The anger in my voice tries to stay low.
“Who could forget you live here,” Liz sneers.
Before I can make a comment in her direction, Logan shrugs her off of him. “Go to my room.”
“But, Unbreakable—”
“Now!” his voice bellows and a small tingle courses through my body.
I’m fucking insane. He’s displaying his sex dominance thing on another female and my body has the audacity to get turned on. See what I mean about betraying me? Goddamn sell out.
Liz stomps up the stairs in her cheap knock off heels as I sigh. “It’s lovely to know I’m not the only girl in your life who follows your orders. I was actually starting to feel special .”
Logan’s blue eyes flash a glimpse of malice and he grips the railing tighter. “You’re accusing me of treating you like a hit it and quit it, but which one of us spent the day crying on someone else’s shoulder? Speaking of, how did it feel to snuggle in next to Tony’s bony ones last night?”
The right thing to do here would be to clarify how fucking wrong he is, but you and I both know that’s not gonna happen. Just like we both know right now I wanna cry in frustration and bash the hell out of his sorry ass.
“I wouldn’t know.” I stand up. His eyes flicker a brief sign of relief. “But I’ll let you know tomorrow after I find out tonight.”
And with those words I walk past him, yank my purse up, shove on my shoes, and storm out the front door.
He’s never actually seen me with Tony like that before, so what gives him the right to just assume that Tony’s always his biggest fucking competition? Sure. Tony and I went out on a date. But after that Logan just kept assuming that things were happening. Oh shut up. I don’t wanna talk about the problems that come from assuming. Besides, he should know by now, he’s never really had to compete for me. For anything related to me. In my life he’s always come first. It’s ME who has had the sheer joy of waiting for my turn like some desperate groupie fighting to be noticed. Newsflash! I’m done competing. You want him? You can fucking have him.
Chapter 7
Logan
That did not go the way I wanted it to. Why did I say that? Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
“You are a moron,” Erin infiltrates into my thoughts. “A grade A, certified idiot!”
Unsure of what else to say I shrug. “What?”
“Maxx wasn’t with Tony last night,” Luke sighs, picking up his knitting things.
There was an old lady who lived in a shoe…hahaha. Funny, right? Why are you looking at me like that? Have you already heard that today?
Holding my own I shrug again. “I don’t give a fuck who she was with last night. Or where she was at. Or what she was doing. Doesn’t matter.”
“Oh good.” Luke nods slowly. “Good, because while you were busy being a dick about this whole thing, she was having dinner with the devil.” I dart my eyebrows down in confusion. “Oh. I have your attention now? While you were busy discount shopping at Sluts Are Us, Maxx was dealing with the fact that her mother flew halfway around the world to drop the surprise of a lifetime on her. She’s a big sister.”
Sarcastically Erin throws her hands in the air. “Congrats, it’s a boy!”
In a stutter I ask, “Maxx is a what?”
“A big sister.” Erin pulls her legs to her chest. “Why couldn’t I have been the big sister?”
“Because God knew if you would’ve been born first, there was a good chance the Apocalypse would’ve started early,” Luke responds.
“You were watching Buffy last night weren’t you?” Erin accuses him with a quick glance over her shoulder.
“Couldn’t sleep…”
There’s a bit
