“Let’s head out now.” He announced after doing up his shirt that was struggling against his large muscles. I swallowed emptyily and forcefully tore my eyes away from that sight. I was about to turn around when he grabbed my hand and tugged me back so I slammed against his chest. His hand

settled on my waist, then he was brushing his lips against my forehead.

My eyes widened. The spot he just kissed felt so warm, and feeling horrified and confused, I pulled

back, regarding him wearily.

“What was that?” I demanded and he shrugged his shoulders.

“Nothing.” He murmured and I narrowed my eyes at him, trying to figure out why he was extra touchy this morning, but when I didn’t find anything, I turned away while puffing out a sigh,

Calm down, Addison. I said to myself over and over again, then I assured myself that all of that meant nothing, and that I’d set down firm rules after we returned from our fake date. After all, we’re about to leave right now so there wasn’t any time left to have that conversation right now.

As soon as we both stepped out of the room, his phone began to ring and as he stared at the phone screen, he let out a small cuss and I arched a brow at him.

“Is that one of your fuck buddies?” I drawled before I realized what I said, then I bit on my bottom lip while wishing I could take that back cause it almost awejed like I cared about who called him when I definitely don’t.

He arched a brow at me, his lips twitching. “Why? You jealous?”

I let out a scoff as I rolled my eyes. “In your dreams, Zane.” I tell him before turning away and starting to climb down the stairs.

I vaguely heard the bedroom door clicking shut, indicating that he went in to answer that call. Well, I’d just wait for him downstairs till he was done, and he could take all the time he needed.

Once I got to the bottom of the stairs, I was forced to stop in my tracks cause Aisha and Marco were kissing right by the end of the stairs, grinding against each other. Disgust and jealousy curled in the bottom of my stomach as I stared at them, unable to tear my eyes away while I imagined myself in Aisha’s place, like I always do whenever I watch them kiss like this.

After a while, on realizing that I’d look like a creep, I climbed the rest of the way down and was walking past them when they noticed me and slowly pulled away.

“Did you sleep well?” He finally asked and I nodded, my chest growing warm from that question. I might still be mad at him from last night, over the fact that instead of defending me when hist girlfriend thought we were doing something bad when we clearly weren’t, he worsened the situation by making a joke that I was still in love with him.
