GRAYSON

“This one?” Aria twirls in front of me and I sigh, annoyed because why the hell is Jessica not answering her damn phone? I shifted on the couch and try to test her again. I told her I’ll wait for her after drills, but I got sabotaged, “Grayson?” she asks, voice sweet enough to rot my

teeth.

I blink once, slow. If she wasn’t the daughter of one of my father’s oldest allies, I would’ve already thrown her out. Or worse. Probably worse.

“Aria,” I mutter, not even bothering to hide the venom this time. “If you ask me one more time, I’m going to lose my fucking mind”

She flinches, lips parting, and I know I should care. But I don’L “Aria, I’m not in the mood, I mutter, hall detracted as I keep my eyes on the screen of my phone. Still no response,

Aria pauses, her eyes narrowing “What’s wrong with you?” She pouts, hands resting on her hips. “You’ve agreed to accompany me today.” She really doesn’t get it. She steps closer, that perfume choking the air. “You’re father will not be happy with you if I tell him you’re this grumpy with me baby,” she says, making me more furious

The heck is her problem?

“Don’t touch me,” I snap, low and lethal, like a warning growl. She freezes, hand hovering near my shoulder before pulling back. Smart girl.

But she still tries to play coy. “You’re so tense,” she says with a pout. “Let me help-”

I stand up.

She shuts the hell up real quick when I do. I tower over her. And I know exactly what she sees in my eyes. She is so fucking disgusting. “I don’t want you,” I say, flat, brutal.” So stop whatever shit you are planning,”

She stares, wounded. Like I give a fuck.

I should be with Jess right now. Should have her pinned under me again, hand around her throat, watching that smart mouth go quiet when she can’t breathe without me

Instead, I’ve got this…girl fluttering around me like she’s earned a piece. Like she deserves anything from me.

God, if she wasn’t my father’s precious little political guest I’d have broken her already. I’d have sent her crawling out of here on her hands and knees, sobbing, stripped of that smug entitlement she wears like perfume.

“Leave, Aria. Now.”

She hesitates, like she’s about to cry.

“Don’t make me say it again.”

She bolts–heels clicking, pride shattered—and good. One less problem in my fucking face.

I drop back onto the couch, elbows on my knees, phone clutched tight. That girl–my girl–Jess, better have a goddamn reason for this Because she’s driving me fucking insane. And I swear, the more she pulls away, the more I want to bear the world apart just to get to her.

I sit there another thirty seconds–long enough for the silence to piss me off even more. Then I’m up, phone in hand, heading for the place she told me we’d meet.

She’s not there.
