Chapter Fourteen

Nic

I pull open the microwave, and the smell of leftover pasta sauce makes my mouth water. There’s only one small serving left over from my date with Elle, and I figure I might as well eat it while I’m still in this post-Elle happiness haze. It feels a little like being drunk. Like I’m invincible. Like nothing in the whole fucking world can touch me.

The only thing keeping this feeling from being the best thing ever? My dick. He’s not happy with how last night ended.

Okay, maybe he’s not the only one.

I’m not sure how much longer I can keep this up. I wanted her so badly last night. Walking her to her car instead of pounding her into a wall left me with a major case of blue balls. The worst part is I could tell that she wanted me too, and that only made the whole situation—and my cock—ten times harder.

She didn’t look upset when I didn’t take her to my bed, but I could tell she was confused. And the whole “I’m just a gentleman waiting for the right time” excuse will only work for so long. If I’m not careful, she’ll start to suspect that something’s up. And if she finds out the truth about me, only one thing will happen. I’ll lose her.

There’s no way I’m ready to let that happen. Not when I’ve finally found a sweet, cool, normal girl who checks off every box on my list.

I spoon the now warm leftover sauce onto a plate of cooked pasta just as my phone starts buzzing in my pocket. My brow furrows, and I set my plate down to answer it. Who the fuck is calling me on a Sunday afternoon?

My stomach drops when I see the name on the screen. Christine.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

“Hey, Christine, how are—”

“What the hell are you doing with Elle?” Her voice is angry, but firm. She’s trying to keep it under control. But there’s an edge to it that tells me she could lose it at any moment.

“Look, Christine, I—”

“No, Nic, you listen to me. I don’t know what you think you’re doing with her, but whatever it is, it’s not right. You were hired for one thing only—accompanying her to my wedding. Which was two weeks ago.”

I clench my jaw, pushing my hand roughly through my hair. “I know. You’re right. But I have to be honest with you. I really like her. More than I expected to.”

“She would never be with you if she knew what you were. You need to end this. I never would have set you up with her if I’d known you’d do something as fucked up as this.”

“Christine—”

But before I can finish, she hangs up, and the call disconnects.

“Fuck.”

I throw my phone onto the table and bury my face into my hands. She’s right. Christine is fucking right. I’m a horrible person. I can’t believe I’m doing this to Elle.

What the fuck is wrong with me? How did I think this was going to end?

That invincible feeling I had earlier? Fucking gone.
