Page 6 of Pitiful Lies

There was no audience either time.

Just us.

After that, our fake-relationship seemed pretty not-fake to me.

Angel seemed to like my super curvy and ultra thick body. And I sure as fuck liked his giant-sized muscular one.

Angel Fury is simply too hot for his own good. His face is perfection. Sometimes, it hurts to look at him.

The asshole.

His eyes are more aquamarine than sapphire blue, and I love them. Sometimes, they look almost white.

Ethereal.

Gorgeous.

Fantastic.

His cheekbones and powerful jaw are almost too masculine, but it’s all softened by sinfully delicious lips.

Seriously, I just wanna sit on his face for like hours with those things.

I have.

Which makes this so fucking hard. I wish I hadn’t tried to surprise him. I wish I didn’t know about her. The other woman.

But I do know. And it’s killing me.

It only emphasizes how little about the man I actually bothered to learn during our tryst.

Angel isn’t what I would call a sharer. I’ve never even seen his house.

Yes, we hung out.

Usually at the Vipers’ Den.

Yes, we fucked like bunnies.

Again, usually in his office, which, for obvious reasons, sported a huge bedroom.

But we rarely talked. And we didn’t do other things normal couples did.

We didn’t date. Or go out to dinner. Or meet each other’s families. Or, well, anything, really.

“Did you pick a color?” the manicurist interrupts my spiraling thoughts, and I hand her the hot pink I chose for my mani-pedi.

“Okay, this way. Would you like me to turn on the chair massage?”

“Oh God, fuck yes. Oops! Sorry, I meant to say, yes, please,” I tell her, and she smiles and nods knowingly.

She turns on the water and fills the foot tub, adding a blue tablet. I sit back in the chair and close my eyes, humming low in my throat as I try to ease away the horrible month I’ve had with a little self-care.

Missing all these milestones in Anna’s life makes me feel like a total asshole. She and Nico bought a house in the suburbs and Jr. is just on his way to take over the world already. Maria and Luc got hitched, too.

I am missing it all.

Just because I am a pitiful coward.
