69- Big Mistake Keith

Sarah pov

I was still trying to make sense of what Marwick meant earlier by saying that Keith was playing with me. Did he know that I slept with Keith?

My heart missed a beat at the mere thought of it.

No. No. I don’t think so. That would be too embarrassing!

“Hey, girl. Come back to the earth!” I heard Nadia’s shrill voice, who was sitting beside me on the recliner, “Lately you are not taking much interest in any activity we do.” She tried to complain.

Last time, after the argument with my friends, I had been keeping them at arm’s length. We were sharing the same cordial relationship, but I stopped bringing Ashley into our topics. Whenever they used to ask about Justin, I used to give them a neutral answer.

With time, I had accepted that they might be very good company, but they would never be my true friends.

I did not have any answer to her complaints about not participating. Was trying my best to spend time

with them to take my mind off Ashley’s absence and Justin’s preferences.

Or maybe I was trying to take my mind off Keith.

The image of him lying above me while banging, popped up in my mind. I quickly darted my focus to Shella who had a fan moment when Marwick stepped on the poolside in a pair of trunks and a towel around his shoulder. She was still in the pool for the swim.

Marwick did not even bother to glance at any of us and jumped in the pool.

“Wow!” I heard Nadia’s hoarse whisper, “he makes me weak in the knees.” I stretched my lips in a smile. The same Nadia who never showed me that she had the hots for Justin despite having a fiancé could not

stop herself.

“You are so lucky. Occupied by two Greek Gods!” She sighed to herself.

I wanted to remind her that Justin was no more mine but opted to keep my mouth shut. Shella was now sitting on the edge of the pool dangling her legs in the water.

Her eyes were literally pasted to my brother who was taking laps in the pool.
