Pain and guilt took over his eyes and he nodded. “I don’t know anything about your dad except what you’ve told me. I don’t have a clue about the deal he worked out. When you showed up with the brownies, I had no idea what the fuck you were talking about. I didn’t know why you thought you owed me something. Not a clue.”
I froze. I couldn’t move as I processed the information.
Nick was a liar.
“I tried to tell you,” he continued, “but you cut me off. Plus, I was a little pissed off. You accused me of stealing your stuff when I was trying to help, and you were acting so tough and I figured, why not screw around with this girl who thinks she’s so tough? And then I got to know you and… And I realized how much I liked you.”
“Exactly when did you realize youlikedme?” I spat out. “Before or after I cleaned your apartment, cooked your food, sucked your dick!”
“Jade, I—I’m so sorry.”
“Get out! Get out of my apartment, you fucking liar.”
“I didn’t lie, Jade. Not exactly. I just… You assumed something, and I didn’t correct—”
“Out! Get the fuck out of my apartment! Now!”
