passed the test.”
Say what?
“Excuse me?” I heard what she said, but I couldn’t possibly be hearing her correctly.
“You have a good size dick, and I don’t want a boyfriend. But, I am looking for a fuck. You game?”
Was she serious? No, this is a test. There is no right answer here, just ignore the question. No, wait, then she will think I don’t listen. Wait… why do I care if she thinks I listen?
She started to laugh, and I knew I was right.
“If you are trying to make Mylie jealous, you are going to have to do better than that asshole.”
Oh, not her too. Wait… did she say jealous?
“What gave it away?”
“Oh the fact that you looked like a bull waiting to kill the matador,… and the fact that Mylie can’t stop staring at you.”
I quickly turned around and saw that my girl was kissing the douche.
Chapter Six
Mylie
What the hell was I doing? Why was I kissing Xavier? This was wrong!
I pulled away. The hunger in his eyes did not match my own. I felt terrible that I was using him. Lord help me, seeing the Asshole here was one thing but then seeing him dance with my best friends infuriated me!
“That was amazing!” he said huskily.
I cringed, this was wrong!
“Let’s get something to eat?” I nodded my head and texted my friends.
Group Message: Diana, Malory, Rhonda
Me: I’m going to the diner.
Diana: He’s hot! I’m coming too!
Rhonda: Delicious! Me too!
Malory: He’s doable. I am pooped; let’s get grub.
It was cardinal rule, we never went anywhere without each other. We had a motto and we stood by it: “Chicks before Dicks.”
We all left, but I couldn’t help but see that Diana was speaking to the Asshole. They were whispering into each other’s ears and laughing.
Breathe .
He had wrapped an arm around her waist and followed us to Five and Diner. We found a large booth that could fit six. I decided to go first, since being snug in the middle didn’t bother me. Xavier slid next to me, Malory slid after him, and Rhonda after her. While Diana and the Asshole slid in on the other side, him first, since she always used the restroom.
Wonderful. I was stuck between Xavier and the Asshole.
“So let’s go around and introduce ourselves, shall we?” Xavier said.
We all nodded.
“My name is Xavier Bane, and I run my family business.” He smiled, and his gorgeous dimples peeked out.
“Wait, are you the Xavier Bane, of Bane & Wright?” I asked nervously.
“What? You didn’t know his name before you decided to leave with him?” the Asshole snorted in disgust.
I gave him an icy glare, and everyone’s incredulous expressions confirmed that they couldn’t believe he had said it either.
“Look Asshole, I did know—you know what, why am I even explaining myself to you?” I turned around and saw that Xavier was glaring at the Asshole.
“Do you have a problem?” Xavier asked menacingly calm. Not good.
“As a matter of fact--,” he started to say, but Malory was quick to interject, “Mylie isn’t Bane & Wright the law firm you are interning at next year?”
She was smart and realized it nearly as quick as I did.
“Mylie? As in the Mylie Mier who scored a perfect score on the LSAT’s?” Xavier looked awed, but not as much as the Asshole.
“You’re going to be a lawyer?” the Asshole asked quietly, and all I could do was shake my head.
“I’m working on my Juris Doctorate, yes, but to become a professor. I felt interning would give me a good experience to tell my students. I am still debating though. Maybe you can teach me how to love the law?” I said flirtatiously to Xavier while running my finger down his chest. His eyes began to smolder with desire.
“You’re amazing!” Xavier whispered in my ear, and I smiled.
One could get accustomed to his attentions. He put a strong hand on my thigh and rubbed it slightly. The effect wasn’t lost on me, especially when I was momentarily transported into a memory of the final moments before the
