I grab Kohen by the arm when he charges at X again like a bull, relentlessly attacking the guy. His knuckles are bloody, gashes from where Xzavien’s teeth punctured the skin. I take his hand in mine anyway, kissing them. I cup his cheek and pull him to face me, hoping I can calm him down.
“Handsome, look at me. I’m yours, let’s go home. You handled your business, now let’s go. He isn’t worth it.”
Erica laughs, she fucking laughs and I ignore her. “You aren’t worth it, honey. You don't deserve either of these men and why they are risking their lifelong friendship for a little whore like you is beyond me.”
Xzavien walks back our way and I feel Kohen tense. “I’m curious…” X begins, “...was it Alex or Erica that you’re actually upset about? Or maybe it’s both.” He laughs as he continues, “Because the way I recall the night we met Alex, you were upstairs fucking Erica, were you not? Erica correct me if I’m wrong.”
“Don't antagonize him!” I yell. “It’s you, you’re the problem. You and that stupid bitch.” I step in his direction. “Stop trying to get in my fucking head, if he wanted to be with her, he would.” He feigns confusion. “Don’t play dumb, X, you’re not innocent here. You were fucking her. Your best friend’s ex.”
“She doesn’t mean anything, Alex, and I don't mean anything to her. We just both want you and Kohen to be over. And what- do you expect for me to wait on the sidelines like a lost puppy?”
I scoff.
“Don't you already, begging at my feet every fucking minute, texting, calling trying to get me to hang out behind Kohen’s back?” He throws his hands up, gesturing toward me. “Yet here you are with me, you came here to meet me, you didn’t think Kohen would be here, what does that say about you two? Is it the money? Is that why you chose him?”
I rush up to him and slap him across the face. Red marks splay across his skin. “Fuck you,” I say, tears streaming down my cheeks. Xzavien looks like I just stabbed him in the heart, the painful look on his face is heartbreaking to see, but he brought this on himself. I feel bad for him in a way, I hate him for doing this.
“Well, you just lost me as a friend, Alex, congratulations. Don't call me when he breaks your pathetic ass heart.” He wipes the blood from his lip, turns and stalks off to his car, taking off like a bat out of hell.
I see Erica walking to Kohen, and I rush to intercede, stepping in front of him. “Don't even think about it, you stupid cunt. you’re disgusting, accept that he chose me.”
Shetsks.“Better be careful or you’ll lose him too. I was his fiancé, what are you a little rebound?” My heart stops in my chest. “Oh, he didn’t tell you, did he?”
I look up at him over my shoulder as he grips my elbow. “There's nothing for him to tell me, I don't see a ring on your finger today, do you?” I hate feeling blindsided with this, it hurts but I’m not going to show her any sign of weakness.
“You’re a fool, just a tight little hole for him to fill, until he realizes I’m it for him. Our families have decided we will be married. Now, it’s just a matter of when. We are made for each other. You are nothing. His father will never let him be with you.”
It clicks. That's why he doesn’t want me to meet his father.
“Y’all are delusional. You both want people who don't want you. So, who is more pathetic here?” she smirks. “You,” is all she says before turning away and getting in her BMW.
My heart aches, my stomach turns, and a tear falls down my cheek without permission. “That's why you didn’t want me to meet your dad,” I whisper where only he can hear me.
“I’m sorry, Angel,” he whispers back, squeezing my elbow.
“You’re pathetic!” she shouts from her window and zooms out of the driveway sending pebbles flying behind her tires. I fucking hate her, and I have a gut feeling this won’t be the last time we hear from her.

KOHEN
Alex is in the shower. She insisted we come to her house in case X was home. I’m not scared to get into it again, but she’s right. One wrong move and an injured hand could set me out for a while. Tonight was a shit show. Part of me is fucking angry at her still, she shouldn’t have been there. How could she fall into this trap? I hear the water shut off and it pulls me from my spiraling thoughts.
The beautiful girl I’m in love with ,comes walking out stark ass naked. Puffy pink rimmed eyes tell me she was crying in there, but why? Does she honestly care about him that much, how close were they? I have never had feelings of jealousy even when Erica cheated, I was like good riddance, but I am jealous of any part of Alex that cares for him. If she cares for him, there's that much less of her to care for me. I can’t fucking help it, she makes me crazy. I stand up, pulling her soft body to mine, wrapping her up in my arms, and squeezing her tight to my chest. She smells amazing, that intoxicating lavender and pear combination I can’t get enough of.
“Kohen, I’m so sorry.”
Is she honestly apologizing to me? Guilt consumes me. “No, Angel, don't be sorry, it wasn’t your fault.” What am I saying, some of this is her responsibility, I just can’t hold her to that when she looks so broken right now.
“Yes, it was. I should have waited for your explanation, I shouldn’t have jumped to conclusions when he showed me the picture of you and your ex. I shouldn’t have agreed to meet him at the party when you asked me not to go. I felt like you were ashamed of me when your dad showed up and I reacted.”
I rest my hands in the arch of her back and kiss her softly, comforting her the best way I know how. The way she loves me to. “It’s okay. I mean I wish you would have talked to me, but I get it.”
She looks up at me, wrapping her hands around my neck and locking them there. She kisses me now, pushing her chest into me, nipples hard, she needs this. Me.
We are both a work in progress and there are tons of unanswered questions but right now we just need each other. I’m bonded to her, in more ways than one and nothing can separate us. I hope she sees how hard I’m falling for her, how hard I can fall for only her. Her body rocks into mine, my cock hardens between us, and she moans into my mouth. No one ever mattered before her. I sit on the edge of her bed, breaking our kiss to stare at her beautiful lush body. She stands in between my legs, still naked. I run my hand down her body from her shoulder to the valley that sits in between her breasts, and continue slowly down her stomach, relishing the softness there. Finding the mound of her pussy, I cup it, sliding my finger in between her lips. She’s dripping wet, and I let out a groan. She’s always so ready for me.
“That's my good girl,” I praise her. She places a hand on each of my shoulders and throws her head back as I fuck her pussy with my fingers.
