Chapter Thirteen
“And the plan is...”Nisha’s voice trailed off.
Phate pressed his ear closer to the wall separating his apartment from Tasha’s. Forced to resort to eavesdropping, he should’ve been embarrassed, but he wasn’t. He had to know when Tasha left her apartment.
He wanted, no needed, to explain to her but so far, every time she’d left, she ignored any attempt he made to apologize and ask for forgiveness. He followed her to her car each morning she went to work and waited at the door each night she returned.
Nothing he did made her listen to him. She’d never glanced his way. He talked, trying to give the best explanation he could but her expression remained without a hint of emotion to reveal how she felt.
He wasn’t sure how much more he could take. She hadn’t acknowledged his presence in three days and his soul felt as if it was slowly withering.
“Unball your fist,” Kien mumbled. “We both know putting your hand through the wall isn’t the answer.”
Phate frowned and noticed he’d clenched his hand in reaction to the thought of losing Tasha. “How did you know what I was thinking?”
“Because it’s the same thing I want to do,” Kien replied with a huff. He heaved himself from his chair and made his way to press his ear against the same wall as Phate. “I can’t believe the things they’re saying about us.”
“I can’t believe I fell for a fuck boy,”Tasha was saying.
Phate frowned. “What’s a fuck boy? Have you heard that saying before?”
Kien nodded. “I’ve been called that several times by the human females. I think it’s a good thing.”
Phate frowned. “It doesn’t sound like it’s a good thing.”
“Fuck boy and booty calls are good things to be,” Kien said.
“What’s a booty call?”
“It means you’re available for sex.”
“I want to be a booty call for Tasha.”
“Nisha probably wishes I would be a booty call for her.”
“That’s okay.”Nisha said in muffled tones.“You got some much-needed pipe cleaning and now that’s over. You can move on and leave him to the streets. Right where I left Kien.”
“She did not leave me to the streets,” Kien ground out. “She left me in the hallway.”
