“I would be so fat if I lived here.” Eating all this delicious food brought right to my bedroom.
He smirked before he took a bite.
“You don’t eat anything fun.”
“You mean carbs? I wouldn’t look like this if I did.”
“That sounds like a terrible life.”
“You’re here, aren’t you?”
“I think I would still be here if you ate carbs.”
He smirked and took another bite. “We’ll never know.”
His phone was on the table beside him, and it kept lighting up every couple seconds. He ignored it like it wasn’t there, but after so many disturbances, he silenced it.
“You don’t have to ignore it because of me.”
“If it were an emergency, it would be a phone call.” He ate with his thick arms on the table, his shoulders like a mountain range. “Have you talked to that punk-ass bitch?”
“What punk-ass bitch?”
“That ex of yours.”
“No,” I said. “Why would I?”
“Curious to see if he wanted you back.”
“That’s not going to happen.” We were never very serious in the first place. We had a good time together, but he wasn’t possessive of me the way Axel was. He had been borderline indifferent sometimes. He hadn’t been obsessed with making me come. Not even really that concerned about it. I’d thought that was normal, but then I started to sleep with Axel, and now I knew what I should expect. “What about you?”
“What about me?”
“If you broke things off with your regulars, they must be upset.”
“Oh, they are.” His chicken was tender enough to slice through with just his fork. He didn’t even need a knife.
“Way to be humble about it.”
He smirked. “You asked a question, and I answered it. Humility doesn’t build empires. It doesn’t earn money. All it shows is insecurity.”
“How?”
“People are humble because they want to be liked. And if you want to be liked, that means you’re insecure. I’d rather be arrogant than insecure.”
I stilled as I processed that.
“You should take that advice.”
My eyes moved back to my food. “So, what did you tell them?”
“That I’m unavailable.”
“And they didn’t ask why?”
“No, they did,” he said. “But I don’t owe them an explanation.”
“What if you can’t get them back once this is over?”
