part?”
“Hmm?” Nicole raised her eyebrows at me, hands went straight to the hips.
“He told Jeremy I meant nothing…,” she trailed off. Roxy took a deep breath and looked at the ceiling in her closet. “I was just a fucking idiot, to ever think Chase would be as into me as I am with him. If he opened his eyes he would realize that I’ve only been in lo-” I cut her off there. I cleared my throat, and she spun on her heels.
“Chase! Get out! What the fuck? You can’t just creep around like that. I am a 25 year old woman and I don’t need you to babysit me, okay?” She was pissed. She zipped up a tight black hoodie- showing off every curve underneath.
“I can see you’re a woman, there is no mistaking that. I’m doing my fucking job. Fall back, Rox- you have no say in this shit, okay?” I mocked her attitude. I walked to her bathroom.
“Um, excuse you…” she followed me and stood in the doorway while I glanced under the sink, behind her shower curtain and in her vanity mirror. I bit my tongue as I spotted her birth control. Motherfucker.
“Here, you definitely don’t want to forget these.” I tossed them to her and slammed her mirror shut. She barely caught them, but blushed a sweet shade of pink, holding them to her chest.
“Are you done going through my shit?” Her hip popped out on the side and she ran her hand through her long ponytail.
“Why don’t you just pack and I’ll finish up here.”
“You have one minute, DeLuca.”
I walked to her dresser; just to piss her off- I opened the top drawer. Jackpot! It was filled to the brim with lace, satin, leather panties and bras, and all that other chick shit. It was like a holy grail for men.
“I doubt they stowed a camera in my panty drawer, you perv.” She grabbed her garter belt out of my hand and stuffed it back in the drawer and slammed it shut. Nicole busted out laughing.
“You never know, Rox.” I laughed at her and looked at the mirror on her dresser. It was lined with photos. A couple of her and her mom, Jeremy on our graduation, her and Nicole dressed to kill, her and Jake with him holding her from behind, all possessive over her. She looked happy. Lastly, she had a photo of us from a couple of months before our first bike ride together. I had my arm around her shoulder, and she hugged me around my waist, she was smiling at the camera as I was smiling down at her. I got that damn ache in my chest. My phone rang, it was Moretti.
“All looks good here, Sir. The girls are getting ready to go to Jeremy’s now. Okay, bye.” I hung up with him and turned to her and Nicole. “You got your shit ready?”
“Yes. If I don’t stop her now, she will pack everything.” Nicole giggled and handed me Rox’s last bag.
CHAPTER 12
~ Roxy ~
We arrived at Jeremy’s house. Nicole and I made ourselves at home in his guest rooms.
“I’m taking a shower, girl. I need to get ready for tonight’s class.” Nicole headed to the main bathroom with her towel and toiletries in hand.
“Okay, I think Chase is bringing up the last of it.”
I took a deep breath and fell back onto the plush queen bed. I stared at the ceiling, getting lost in thought. I jumped as I heard Chase dropping the remainder of my bags on the floor at the foot of the bed.
I propped myself up on my elbows and watched him unhook his arms from the straps of my bag. His shirt rode up and I could see his toned back, and that dip in his spine at the top of his boxer briefs. I bit my lip, and breathed deep.
“See something you like?” He chuckled, straightening his back.
“Ha, you wish. Don’t you have something else to do other than harass me?”
“Yes, in fact- thank you for reminding me that I have to return Monica’s call.”
My heart sank into my stomach. “Have fun.” I gave him my best smile.
“You know I will.” He smirked and left my room, pulling his cell phone from his pocket.
Ugh, the fucking nerve
