The three of them each make their own sexually suggestive motions before laughing and walking away.
I’m glad Luca had his back turned. Going with him is the least I could do after he saved us with a brilliant plan and stuck around for so long.
Chapter 22
Luca
If I thought I couldn’t love Kandace more, I was wrong. Dead fucking wrong.
I kept my distance. I ran past her house every morning to feel her presence. I enjoy torturing myself, but I kept running by. I thought I saw her through the window a few times watching us. It could’ve been anyone watching us, but I felt her.
Being the leader they need, I focused on my team. And when the guys asked me to go to the Ale House with some chicks, I went. I came for the guys only to have to hear Chelsea brag how she avoided the charity event planning all week in order to get attention from Carter. Whom she claims to hate while he ignores her.
All I could think about was how fucked up it was she was putting all the responsibility on Kandace. Kandace doesn’t deserve that.
It was even more annoying that her friend was trying to get my attention all night. I wanted to leave as soon as we sat down, but Alex and Finn begged me to stay with them.
“Think of the team,”they said.
“We’ll get to know the freshmen,”they begged.
Fine.
I’ll play nice and give this girl some attention. I’ll play along while we eat. That was until Kandace walked in, sitting across the restaurant from me. Staring right at me as if she wanted to eat me up instead.
It’s not surprising to see her here. There’s only so many places in this small town that students can come to for cheap food and drinks.
With subtle hints, I tried to get her to look over to see her traitor President before the rest of her group did, but hell. If she wants to look at me like I’m a piece of meat, please don’t stop. Honestly, I could’ve tried harder, but I was enjoying the look on her face as she mercilessly eye-fucked me.
That and then the jealous remark about me being on a date. I was right all along. Kandace has feelings for me.
She’s just good at keeping them all in and hidden away. She may not admit it, but there's no denying her actions and the way she looks at me when she thinks no one is watching. I’m always watching.
I sat and watched her take charge and fell even deeper. She was in her element, radiating as she gave everyone a task to get their charity event underway.
But then it became pretty clear. These girls do anything to get what they want.
Renna, fucking the hot dog guy for free food. Callie, flirting with the guy who works the skate rentals. Where does that leave me?
Kandi, fucking me to get the hockey rink?
Is that all I’m good for? Are they all the same? Puck bunnies.
They entrap you to get what they want. Usually, it’s money or marriage. An easy life with fame, but for these girls, it’s whatever they need now.
Is that what Kandi is doing?
I’m the one that hung back. I stuck around for their meeting, and I told her we’d do something afterwards while making suggestive passes. That’s all on me, but why is she going along with it? She could easily turn me down, the way she always does.
“Where to?” She asks, climbing into my Jeep.
I don’t have an answer for her. I’m too deep in my own thoughts and have no idea where I’m going, but I drive.
She places her hand on my leg. A hesitant move that she’s not into, forcing herself to touch me.
“We can go back to my place. Or yours?”
Is this what I wanted? No, I want Kandace. I want all of her. Not this shell of a girl hiding in the exterior she shows everyone. I don’t want her to be fake with me.
