I didn’t think much of it then, but the fact that he mentioned it a few times says something.
So I’m testing a theory.
If Daniel thinks I have a thing with Chris, maybe he’ll get his head out of his arse and accept me.
See me.
Make me visible again.
After I had that taste, it’s safe to say I’m utterly addicted.
For the first time, Daniel only looked at me. Not at Astrid, not at the girls who worship at his Casanova altar.
Me.
The fire that ate the property was a few degrees below the one that feasted on my heart.
Daniel liked me.
He liked spending time with me.
He helped me put on my clothes and dragged me out of danger first.
I don’t care that he blames all of that on being drugged. Or that he wants to erase that night with a red marker.
It’s already engraved in my heart and no natural force will be able to tamper with it.
It’s only a push.
All Daniel needs is a push to realize that he’s meant to be with me.
Not anyone else.
Me.
That’s why I invited Chris over. I heard Astrid talking to Daniel on the phone about meeting up here for some burgers at Alli’s. One of the few places where he actually eats without throwing up. He sometimes acts like a pig in front of Astrid and steals her food, then as soon as she’s out of sight, he vomits it all back up.
Maybe he’s trying to impress her.
Maybe he actually likes her and you’re just a side piece, Nicole.
I shush the demon on my shoulder as I put on a short white dress with peach-colored lace. Then I let my hair fall straight to my butt and do a kissy motion with my red lipstick.
It’s reserved for special occasions. Like making Daniel jealous.
I complete the outfit with my golden heels that make me look like a beautiful goddess. Or that’s what the girls say.
Chris shows up right on time, dressed in denim and expensive shoes. He’s the son of the Metropolitan Police’s deputy commissioner and is known to stir up more trouble than black magic.
He used to be friends with Levi, who’s pursuing my stepsister with the determination of a bull, but they kind of fell out of each other’s graces at the beginning of this year.
Rumor has it, Chris started following the wrong crowd, as in meth heads, and Levi hates druggies with the same passion he loves football.
Anyway, I’ve never seen Chris high. He’s good-looking with a strong bone structure and a buff build.
Not as good-looking as the boy from my happiest dreams and most forbidden fantasies.
I’m starting to think no one can measure up to Daniel in beauty, wit, or charm.
