Can this even be real?

How in the name of fuck am I going to handle another date with Luke?

Puma promised to explain everything to Tiger because he already had to leave for class before I had a chance to talk to him privately. But it doesn't help me at all. I really fucking don't want to do this.

I stare at my reflection in the mirror, taking in my image: the ripped jeans, and a loose, white T-shirt, low top Chucks. It's casual, not hot, not even in the slightest like I don't want it to be. I don't want him to be into me; I don't want to give him signals that this is something it's not.

I grab a scrunchie from the makeup table, gathering my hair on top of my head into a messy bun. I managed to cover all the bruises with makeup, but my nose is still very much broken. It's swollen and looks like someone hit me in the face with a baseball bat.

Yeah, Luke is going on a date with the bachelorette of the year.

But whatever.

Stuffing my phone in the back pocket of my jeans, I leave my apartment, not bothering to take keys. Why should I? I don't have a fucking lock on the door.

Jesus Christ.

I jog downstairs and prepare myself to fake smile my ass off.

"Let's have a quick word before you go."

Dad's voice stops me when I walk past his office. I should've known that he was stalking me. Taking a deep breath, I straighten my spine and turn back to look at him from the open door. It should've been a sign since it's ajar—stupid me.

"I'm listening," I say, watching him sitting behind the large wooden desk. He runs his fingers through his blond hair and leans back in his chair, placing his hands on the armrests.

"This is the same guy as yesterday?" he asks softly.

I nod. "Yeah, so?"

I hate how he studies me like he can read all my darkest secrets by looking at me—all I want to do is run back to my apartment and drown myself in the bathtub.

"Did he have something to do with your reckless behavior?" his eyes drill into my fucking soul.

"No, of course not. Besides, I wasn't reckless. I made a mistake." I cock an eyebrow, trying to pull his attention in another direction. "Which I haven't yet been reminded of, right?"

He mimics my facial expression. "You want to be reminded?"

Oh, do I? Right now, that's all I fucking need, and maybe a session with Tiger tomorrow.

"I fucked-up." I point my thumb up, starting to count my mistakes. "I put everyone else in jeopardy." A second finger up. "I took a hit I could avoid." A third finger up. "What else, hmm, let me think."

I tap my chin with my finger, overdoing it. Then I look at Dad. "Anything else you want to add?"

He lets out a sigh. "No, that was all." He glances at the batshit expensive watch in his hand. "It's almost five, you should go on your date.
