“Yeah, Nikki has a lot of guys wanting her.”
A red-hot feeling forms a haze over my vision and it takes everything in me not to revert to the bitter cunt I was eleven years ago.
When a lot of fucking wankers wanted her, too. When they looked at her like they wanted their tiny dicks inside her every hole.
But I didn’t have to worry about it much, because she always, without exception, told them, “Eww, gross,” and looked at them as if they were dust on her pristine shoes.
All of them.
Every single one.
Except for the fucking cunt from that night.
Pretending I’m fascinated with Lolli’s black furry head, I ask, “She introduced them to you?”
“No, she says she doesn’t have time for them.” There’s a grim expression on his face. Guilt.
He feels sorry, probably figuring out he’s the reason why his sister doesn’t have time to live her life.
This kid is too sharp for his own good.
“She could have time for me,” I announce out of nowhere. “Considering we work together almost every day”
It’s Jayden’s turn to narrow his brown eyes on me. “You still haven’t proved yourself worthy, Dan.”
“I make triple digits from the attorney job alone. I work with mega international corporations and a sovereign family in Europe, not to mention I have more money than ten generations would be able to spend, even if they flew first class to Mars. Oh, and I have a model’s face and body that photographers won’t stop moaning about. I’m the best choice you have.”
His eyes widen, but then he clears his throat. “That’s only on paper.”
“What is that supposed to mean?”
“You’re the perfect candidate except for one small detail. Nikki still doesn’t like you.”
“That is not true.”
“Don’t think I didn’t notice that she avoids you every chance she gets.”
I clench my fist, stopping myself from strangling Lolli and Jayden with her.
“That’s because she’s playing hard to get.”Or she’s actually disgusted with me, judging by her horrified expression.
“What does that mean?”
“Not so know-it-all now, huh?”
He lifts his small chin. “Either tell me or I won’t support you.”
“You’ll support me anyway, because you know I’m the one.”
“Keep telling yourself that, Dr. Evil.” He places a hand at his hip, like Nicole. “Now what does playing hard to get mean?”
“That she pretends she’s not interested so I’ll chase her more. Girls do that all the time.”
“Why?”
“No clue. Ask them.”
He regards me for a bit. “In that case, I’ll grant you a chance.”
