Dekker pounds his chest. “Hulk smash!”
I let out a howl as I turn toward the stairs to get myself changed. As I reach the top of the stairs, I can clearly hear fake porn moaning from Xayden’s room.
Well, his current pussy is still in there. And he can try to deny it all he wants, but no amount of campus pussy is going to take away the need to fuck Rory.
I see the way he looks at her. It’s the way we all look at her, every guy on campus. She is sexy as fuck.
And I’d bet every last penny I have that her pussy is like a fucking vice for dick. And what I wouldn’t give to have her coming on mine.
When I finally pull up to the campus gym, I walk in and head toward the area of the treadmills. I have a tightness in my neck that I need to run off. Plus, I need to keep myself in perfect condition for the ladies.
I do a few stretches and get myself limber when I notice a certain someone walking on a treadmill. Rory’s roommate. I walk over to the empty treadmill next to her and hop on.
I turn on the treadmill at a walking pace and start slowly walking while staring at her. It takes a couple minutes, but she finally looks at me, stopping her walking.
“What are you staring at, creep?” Her voice is raised, but really, I am not worried. Most people here have headphones on.
I plaster on a grin. “I just wanted to introduce myself. We got off on the wrong foot.” I hold out my hand. “My name is Seven. And you are?”
“No one.” She turns her treadmill back up and starts to walk again.
“No one? That’s an odd name. Could your parents not think of something better?” I tease.
She lets out a groan. “Addy. My name is Addy. Now, leave me alone.”
I tsk. “No can do, Addy. I want to apologize for what happened Saturday,” I offer.
“You mean when you and your frat bros attacked my friend? You guys are assholes,” she huffs.
My lips twist into a frown. “Look, I don’t always agree with my ‘frat bros’, and that was one of the times. Xay and Rory have some shit to work on as new brother and sister.”
“Step,” she interjects. Correct-a-mondo.
I nod. “Stepsiblings. Yeah. Still, I just wanted to apologize.”
“Well, that’s nice. Thanks. But you owe one to Rory. She didn’t deserve what your Shrek of a friend did to her.”
I almost wince. God, this one is full of piss and vinegar.
Nonetheless, I keep on the charm. “You’re right. Dekker can be a bit of an asshole when he drinks. He gets all horny and in a mood to fight. It’s either sex or brawling with that one.” I smile.
She doesn’t say anything to me; she just turns back to what’s in front of her and starts walking.
I bite my lip, I need to find a way to make things better with her.
“Look, I need to apologize to Rory. And I will. I’m trying to convince Xayden to play nice. I know this is not any of her fault.” I frown.
She stops the treadmill and turns toward me. “No, it’s not. Honestly, it’s nice that you want to apologize, but I think it’s just best if you all stay away from her. Just let her do her school thing, you do yours, and everyone can go about their lives.” With that, she hops off and walks away from me.
I shake my head as I throw in my earbuds. I crank up the Chevelle and pick up speed on the machine. Before long, I’m finally at a good pace as my mind swirls with thoughts.
There is a part of me that really wants to reverse what I did earlier to Rory. Because when she finds out, it’s going to set some shit off. Shaking my head, I try to push that thought to the back of my mind and continue my run.
But a nagging feeling keeps creeping up. We may be making a mistake in all of this.
Blinded by the hatred that Xayden has for her.
I don’t think this will turn out how he thinks. I don’t think she’s the girl he thinks she is. And I think no matter what, we will all get fucked in the end.
