“I never thought you were a lame guy. I thought King Larson took ass when given to him.” I flinch when she says this. This is how people really see me? A man-whore?You knew that, though. I really created a reputation for myself. “It’s just one night, Larson. I’m not asking to be your replacement girlfriend. But let’s face it; Leia isn’t going to want you because you didn’t text her for a whole week. She even said it when she was in my room today.”
I frown. “She saidwhatexactly?”
A drunk mouth speaks a sober tongue. My dad’s behavior has taught me this. Whatever she’s about to say next, I’m not sure I can handle it.
“She thinks you don’t care about her because you haven’t reached out to her. Dramatic, right?” Why would Leia eventhinksomething like that? I don’tcareabout her? I invited her to travel with me, I asked her to be my girlfriend, Iconfidedin her about a bunch of shit.Leia Walton has come to the conclusion that you don’t care about her.It’s hard for me to wrap my head around that. “Let’s just forget them both, Larson. Think about how much fun we could have tonight.”
I’m close to pushing her off me until a familiar voice stops me in my tracks.
“What the fuck?” I look up and see a disgruntled Hunter. Shit, shit,shit. This shouldn’t be happening right now. “Larson, what the fuck isthis, dude?”
“Dude, it’s not what it looks like.” Milena appears at his side, and I can’t stop my eyes from rolling. There’s too much confusion tonight that I wasnotprepared for. “Taya kissedme, dude. That’s it. And I pushed her off.”
“So you let my girlfriend kiss you?”
“Girlfriend?” Milena shrieks at his side. I close my eyes at this stupidity. “What do you mean ‘girlfriend’? Are you seeing this girl?”
Hunter lets out a sigh as I just sit back and watch.
“Ex-girlfriend. I don’t typically like when guys I date have their dicks inside other women. Not exactly my cup of tea.”
Taya’s very spicy when she wants to be. Allthreeof the girls are spicy when they want to be. Taya’s more of the bitchy type. Sarah’s just upfront and blunt. Leia? She’s more of the quiet storm. She’s the type that scares me the most. She thinks a lot, and she’s a force to be reckoned with when she’s quietly brewing.
“Excuseme?” Milena is visibly offended.
“You heard me, slut.”
“Okay, girls. Calm down, this is not the place or time.” I would prefer not to be a part of an international scandal if the claws begin to come out. “Taya, you’re going back to your room. Let’s go.”
“You’re not taking her anywhere, dude. Let her go.”
Is he joking? He’s really playing the ‘pee on my territory’ card after the bullshit I just witnessed on the dance floor? I want to laugh.
“I’m not bringing her back to our room, idiot. I’m just dropping her off atherroom so she can sleep this off.” He rolls his eyes and pushes Milena from his side.
“Hey!” Milena protests. Poor girl. She has no idea what’s going on, and I can’t blame her. We’re all giving mixed messages right now.
“Milena, it’s been fun. But my girl needs me. I’m sorry to waste your time.”
I scoff. That’s all he has to say to her. He picks Taya up, who initially protests, and then he throws her over his shoulder. They’re gone shortly after, and it’s just me and Milena.
“I have no idea what is going on. We are not together anymore?” I feel bad for confusing her, but this entire trip is confusing. I’m pretty sure my girlfriend and I are broken up, and her best friend just kissed me in a nightclub. “I thought he liked me.”
“Hunter is sort of fucked up, Milena. It has nothing to do with you and everything to do with him. I would just recommend seeking out another guy who is worth your time.” That’s the best advice I have since I’m still a bit high. I’m not even sure I’ll remember the majority of the shit that happened tonight.
“Like you?” she suggests. My eyes shoot to her. She’s giving me a small smile as she waits for my answer. There’s no way I can or will answer that. I’m not into her that way. But...as she looks at me, I can tell she’s maybe into me. “You’re a cute guy, Jake. We don’t even have to date. But I’d like to spend time with you.”
“Milena, no. We can’t go there. I l—” I almost said it. Shit, I almost said it, and I wasn’t even going to think twice about it. My feelings for Leia are still there, though. Whether or not she wants me, those feelings will remain there. “I just need a break from trying with a girl again. You’re a nice girl, and you deserve someone who will love you. I just can’t be that guy.”
She gives me a small smile. She leans in and gives me a hug.
Finally, I can give this dating thing a rest. I need it.
A week later...
LEIA
