“Spending the night with some strangers?”
He doesn’t peel his eyes away from mine, and I sweat profusely.
I’m sure my skin glistens.
How could it not?
“They weren’t strangers.”
“You met them at the club.”
“Yes. The women. I made a friend too. What else do you want to know?” I throw at him impatiently.
“Who did you fuck?”
My heart stops, and the air no longer enters my lungs as I turn to stone, my hands becoming cool as ice.
Everything clashes. My eyes with his eyes. Our hearts and souls. Our brains diving into each other. He wants to know. I want to deflect. And I also want to know what he knows.
Does he? Or is it a trick to make me talk?
“No one.”
The lie has left my mouth without a second thought.
This stupid shit could get me in trouble.
Can I trust Alejandro? What if he’s set me up? Asking me to keep my mouth shut? And then ratting me out to Kai?
And Kai testing me like he does now?
What difference does it make if I lie?
Theoretically, it doesn’t matter, but it speaks to my character and how sneaky and disloyal I can be.
It can also be construed as feelings. Or the beginning of romantic feelings.
Oh, shit. This is a trickier situation than I thought. Alejandro wouldn’t do that to me. It’s in no one’s interest.
He wouldn’t want me to get kicked out.
He wouldn’t do it. Without me, there is no game. But can I bet on that?
No.
How well do I know these men, after all?
Um… I know nothing about them.
Exhibit number one stands in front of me, his hands stuffed in his pockets, his chin tipped down, his eyes on mine, his lips slightly curled.
I wish it were a smile.
It’s only the tension setting, claiming his lips.
He doesn’t believe me. And that is the better scenario. Maybe he knows for a fact that I spent the night with Alejandro, and he’s testing me––as I said before.
Kai wouldn’t be so upset if he knew I was with Alejandro. Why would he be? And why are we having this conversation, anyway?
