“Pretty much. I should delete it.” I hold out my hand.
“Hold up,” she says. “You have like fifty-six messages from matches.”
“What?” I ask, not believing it. “I made that profile this morning.”
Scarlett smiles at me. “Well, you do share my good looks. Most of them are probably dick pics, though. Let me check … Oh, shit. You have a new message from that bitch Ben.”
“What?” I ask.
“I should delete it.”
“No, let me see it,” I insist, needing to know what he said.
I’m not sure why he’d say anything. Not when the reason I kicked him out of my apartment is so obvious.
Some part of me wonders if he regrets what he did. I need to know.
Scarlett frowns at me. “Just remember, the guy’s an asshole.”
She passes me the phone back.
She hasn’t opened the new message.
I click to open it, and all I experience is my own instant regret.
Every word I read only makes me angrier.
I’m sorry you couldn’t handle the truth, Saffy. I thought we had something special. I thought you knew you were my number one. I never told you we were exclusive.
“What a dickhead,” Scarlett mutters.
I click on the message, opening the bubble to send a reply.
You’re a liar, and I’m glad I’m done with you. Oh, and by the way, I’m an Omega, you fucking idiot.
I hit send and then block him from replying.
“Shit,” I mutter, looking back at the message I just sent.
“What?” Scar asks, looking over my shoulder.
“I didn’t mean to do that. I just …”
I just told my idiot ex that I’m an Omega. I broke the one rule that keeps me safe from predatory men. I can’t believe I let that slip out. I feel so stupid.
“Oh, that,” Scarlett says, as if it’s nothing. “I wouldn’t worry about that. There’s no way he’ll believe it. Men are all the same, Saph. He knows you as a Beta and he thinks he knows everything. He’ll just think you’re trying to make him regret his actions. You didn’t just out yourself as an Omega.”
She’s probably right, if only because he’s so full of himself. Ben always thinks he knows better than everyone else. He probably thinks I’m only lying to hurt him because that’s what he would do if the tables were turned.
“Trust me,” Scarlett adds.
The relief she just gave me is erased in the heartbeat it took her to add that sentence.
Why did she have to say that?
My sister can be overconfident.
She’s been that way since forever, and it feels like she never learns from past mistakes.
