“Spare me the details, will you?”
Chapter forty-five
Delilah
“I’m so angry at you right now,” I said, avoiding eye contact with Kimi as I looked out into the ocean. We were sitting on the sand, and Archer was a few feet away on a phone call as Sterling stood beside him.
“I’m sorry, okay? This isn’t something I’m particularly proud of admitting,” she muttered.
We heard Sterling speak. “I heard that!”
She rolled her eyes, but I could see the small smile that threatened to pull on her lips.
I sighed as I took a sip of my drink and turned to her. “Okay. Details now,” I demanded, leaving no room for discussion, and she groaned.
“Fine. I was just starting to miss you at the academy, and although I had Avery, I felt like I was missing my other half. Luca was still trying to get control of the student body, but lo and behold, I had a ‘guardian angel’ who just so happened to be best friends with the dean and made it his job to annoy me and make me happy, pushing my suggestions for the students to the dean.” She began to blush. “And after he’d help me, I would reluctantlythank him, and one day… he came into my office looking like a total idiot, and I just couldn’t resist his annoying smirk and his stupid jokes and his stupid eyes. That day he just had a way with words, and I…thankedhim a little more in my office.”
“Kimi, please don’t tell me you guys had office sex.”
She scoffed at me and rolled her eyes. “Of course not! We just shared a kiss or two, and now he thinks we’re a couple.” She groaned, and I giggled as he walked over and wrapped his arms around her torso from the back. “Sometimes I question if this was a smart decision… Getting repeatedly touched is something I don’t think I want to get used to,” she muttered, and he hugged her contently as he sighed blissfully.
“Of course this was a good decision, tiger… it’s bringing us closer than ever before.”
Archer took a seat beside me, and Kimi looked over to him with a pleading look in her eyes.“Help me,”she mouthed to him, and he held his hand up to his ear and shrugged.
“I can’t hear you,”he mouthed back, and I laughed at the two of them as Kimiko pouted heavily.
Looking out into the ocean, I sighed as Archer ran his fingers through my hair.
“Kimi, I hate to break it to you, but you’re not the only Masahiko child in a relationship currently.”
She glared at me. “I wouldn’t even consider us in a relationship,” she snapped, and Sterling sighed.
“When are you going to accept your fate, tiger? You got to stop fighting it.”
She rolled her eyes at him, and I continued doing my best to ignore him.
“I promised not to say, but... Ivory and Jin seem to be rather close to one another.”
Kimi’s jaw dropped as she came to terms with what I just said. “You’re kidding!” she yelled.
Archer nodded. “It’s true.”
“Is this what you told me you couldn’t tell me that night? I knew you were keeping something from me!” she growled, shaking her head, and Sterling shook his head.
“I always knew it was only a matter of time before they started going at it like bunnies,” he muttered, and Archer sighed.
“Please ignore him. He doesn’t know half of the shit that comes out of his mouth.”
Kimi nodded her head, and we all unanimously agreed as Sterling took much offense to what was said.
Eventually, Kimi looked up at him. “I’m hungry,” she whispered, and I internally smiled at their interaction as Sterling began rubbing his thumb on her stomach as he responded to her softly.
Feeling someone turn me, I giggled as Archer rolled me over and made me straddle his legs.
“I’m feeling a bit neglected,” he mumbled, and I smiled.
“That’s only because you’re watching Kimi and Sterling... I don’t have to give you my undivided attention all day, Lockwood. Remember, my life doesn’t revolve around you entirely.”
