In that time, I’ve come to one conclusion.
She doesn’t need me to drag her down and ruin her life.

Thelastfourdaysspent walking around Evan’s house, trying to keep it clean while he seems determined to make it messy, have done nothing but drive me insane. If it wasn’t his house, I would think that he’s been doing it purposefully just to bother me.
I’ve been spending time avoiding him because it’s so much easier than seeing him and knowing that I can’t have him.
No matter how much I want him.
Thankfully, it’s Saturday night and I’m going out to have a good time with Zara. The shower is still running as I root through my closet, looking for one of the few dresses I own that’s good for dancing.
Zara is singing loudly along with the music blaring through the speaker system that runs through my room. I laugh as I listen to her sing, finally finding the silk slip dress in the back of my closet. It’s a deep green that brings out the color of my eyes.
It’s perfect for luring in men who will buy me free drinks.
There’s a knock at my door that pulls me away from my search for the right shoes. I head to the bedroom door, wrapping my black robe a little tighter around my waist. When I open the door, Evan’s eyes drop straight to my legs.
When he looks up at me a second later, his cheeks are a slight shade of pink. He glances away from me and clears his throat.
“Blake said that he would be ready to take you and your friend to the club in an hour.”
“Thanks. I’ll make sure Zara is ready to go.”
His gaze travels down my body again before he sighs and walks away. I ignore the heat rushing through me as I turn around. I jump back when I come face-to-face with Zara.
“If that’s your boss, he’s hot as hell.” She grins and wiggles her eyebrows. “Please tell me that you have at least had a little bit of that. It would be so hot.”
I roll my eyes, heat spreading through my body at the mention of doing anything with Evan. Though the thought continues to cross my mind, I know it would be a terrible idea.
This job is going to be the only way I can afford my next year of law school. I can’t do anything to risk that.
“I’m not going to be doing anything with him. Now, hurry up and get dressed. He only came up here to tell me that Blake is going to drive us.”
Zara smirks and grabs the dress she tossed on my bed earlier. “He came up here to tell you that instead of Blake because he wanted to see you naked.”
I roll my eyes and head into my closet to get changed. When I come back out, Zara is wearing a small black dress that barely covers her ass and her hair is slicked back in a ponytail.
“Shit, you’re going to be getting all the guys tonight,” I say, grinning as I turn to the mirror and pin back one side of my hair.
“Are you sure thatyoudon’t want to pick up any guys?”
“I don’t want the first time I sleep with someone to be when I’m drunk. Tonight is about drinking and having fun, not letting some guy get his dick wet.”
Zara laughs and grabs her credit card and ID, tucking them into her bra. “Well, either way, I’m glad you’re ready to go out and have some fun tonight. You’ve been studying too much.”
“Some of us don’t have a photographic memory.”
She shrugs as she struts out of my room. I grab my own credit card and ID before hurrying after her. I got paid yesterday, which means for the first time in a long time, I have the money to go drinking and dancing.
Several hours later, I stumble through the front door of Evan’s home with Blake chasing behind me. He catches me around the waist as I nearly topple into the closet. I laugh as I cling to him, letting him support me while my heels dangle from my finger.
Blake rolls his eyes, but I can see the corner of his mouth turning upward. Even though he gave me hell in the car for getting this drunk, I know he’s enjoying it.
“You’re the best, Blake, and one day, you know you’re going to like me more than anyone else.”
