“Hate to burst your bubble but Sky hasn’t been little in years,” I mock nonchalantly, crossing my arms over my chest.
“Cut the shit,” she snarls, poking a finger into my chest. “I swear, if you hurt her, I’ll cut off your balls and fucking force-feed them to you.”
Thing is, I believe her.
Although the two sisters are night and day from each other, Daisy would fucking kill for Skylar. Over the years as I watched them together, I won’t deny that I envied the loyalty they had for one another. I never had that. Not after my mom died, at least.
“Don’t get your panties in a twist. I didn’t do shit to Sky,” I lie through my teeth.
Daisy’s fixed gaze bounces off me to her closed sister’s bedroom door, her mind working double time, trying to come up with a scenario where Sky was safe with me.
“Bullshit.” She scoffs, unconvinced when she comes to the conclusion that there is no such world where that would happen.
“Tell you what? Why don’t you worry about your own secret booty call and let me deal with mine.”
Her face turns all sorts of frightening red as she grabs my chin and sinks her nails into my skin. Any other time, I would have slapped her grip off me, but the pain she’s inflicting eases the ache in my chest from how I left things with Sky tonight.
“I’m only going to say this once. Leave Sky alone. She’s not like us.”
“Us?” I cock a brow.
“Broken. Unable to love anything more than ourselves. She deserves better. Better than you.”
At this, I do slap her hand away.
“You have no idea what Sky deserves,” I growl in her face, the same one that suddenly changes from being angry to pitying me. I hate that look and she damn well knows it.
“I know that you’ll never be man enough for her. Sky is going places. Big places. And you will just be an anchor around her neck, dragging her down. Away from her full potential. So yeah. I do know what Sky deserves and it’s not you. Like I said, she deserves better. And I won’t let you or anyone else steal her shine, just because they’re fucking bored with their lives.”
“Are you done?” I seethe through gritted teeth.
“Are you?” she retorts with the same vehemence in her tone.
I nod.
“Good. Keep it that way.”
And with that, she passes by me, making sure to clip my shoulder in the process.
I turn around to watch her retreating form, and like the asshole I am, I’m unable to let things go without having the last word.
“Tell me something? Is hiding the fact that you’re screwing Derrick Monroe on the down-low his idea or yours?” I smile sinisterly when she halts mid-step, staying rooted to the spot. “Guess I’m not the only one who is so undeserving, huh? Takes a loser to know one, Daisy.”
And with that, I walk into my room and slam my door, uncaring if I wake up the parentals or not. The shit that goes on in this house without them knowing is their own goddamn fault for being so fucking clueless anyway.
I fall onto my bed and curse, wondering how this night turned into such a shit show. Not an hour ago I was on cloud nine, having everything I ever wanted right at my fingertips.
Now what do I have?
Nothing.
Daisy will be pissed at me for God knows how long.
And Sky?
Who knows how she’ll react.
Will we revert to our old ways of hating each other, or will she just act like I don’t even exist?
