My eyes dip to her ass in her sweatpants as she retreats and my dick hardens. Not that the damn thing can stay down around her, and that is a problem.

I don’t go running after her as she’s probably used to that.

I’m not some damn errand boy. And I’m not someone who gives a shit.

She’s a job.

Nothing more.

I did the right thing by telling her no.

She can’t keep flirting with me.

Stay away from her. I snort at Cash’s warning, even though I knew exactly what he meant. He smelled trouble too.

At this point, I could be in for the longest fuckin’ few weeks of my entire life.

I cry like a baby in the shower.

I don’t know what’s gotten into me lately, but I blame the stress of moving as the main culprit.

So now Rock thinks I’m crushing on him? He has some damn nerve.

Even if I was, I wouldn’t waste my time on him now.

I noticed his demeanor changed the minute he came back in from speaking to Cash.

I’m not stupid, I know they had words, and it was about me.

She’s pussy. She’s your type. I’m not kiddin’ around. I told her father she was safe here.

I cringe at the word “pussy.” God, is that how all men speak behind a woman's back?

What gets me the most is Rock’s reply and his irritated tone.

And I told you she is safe. I’m handlin’ it. Not short of hearin’, Cash. I think I know when I can get my dick wet and when I can’t.

Before that, we’d been getting along, and if my mind serves me correctly, we were flirting a little.

It felt good, because for a second there, I thought he actually liked me.

Now I realize that wasn’t the case. He probably felt sorry for me, especially after all the stuff he’s likely read about me online. All in the name of research.

I feel more pathetic now than I ever have.

And simply because I trusted a pretty face.

Everyone warned me about Dylan, but I shook it off, thinking that I knew better. Thinking that I was the one. God, I must’ve looked so pathetic.

It just goes to show that I really don’t know anything about men whatsoever.

I run the bath with the Chanel bubble bath that’s sitting on the shelf.

Alana really went all out.
