Killion chuckles, taking another bite of pizza. “I’d get your shit together if I were you. That girl’s got fire, and if you don’t keep up, you’re gonna get burned.”
I glare at him, but his words hit harder than I want to admit. Without another word, I grab the pizza box from the coffee table and head to the kitchen, Killion’s laughter trailing behind me.
Valentina’s gone. What the fuck did I do wrong?
Chapter Thirty-Four
Kaden: You left.
Kaden: Where are you?
Kaden: Really, what did I do?
Kaden: This was our night.
Valentina: What’s with the thousand texts, Crawford?
Kaden: I want to know how I fucked up?
Valentina: Is this a trick question?
Kaden: No. Killion said you left pretty upset?
Valentina: I didn’t. I left flustered . . . I was naked on the couch waiting for you and suddenly your twin just entered like he owns the house.
Kaden: I’m going to kill him. He can’t be seeing my girl naked.
Valentina: He didn’t see me—I think. I was able to run to the bathroom and get dressed. Still, I had to leave before I died of embarrassment.
Kaden: I hope my parents don’t miss him much when I kill him. I mean they have five more children, why miss the most obnoxious.
Valentina: Wouldn’t you miss him? He’s like your soulmate or second half or something like that, isn’t he?
Kaden: That’s a common misconception. Sure, we’re close and shit, but we’re two different people. Very different by the way.
Valentina: Yeah, you’re right. I don’t see his PR team having to clean up his shit every five seconds.
Kaden: Is there a glare emoji here?
Valentina: What? The truth hurts?
Kaden: Nothing hurts. Stop calling me a problem child.
Valentina: Oh, but you are. By the way, I reached out to the PR team for the Barracudas, and we will be working together to help with your image. I’m still wondering why Kimmy never reached out to them.
Kaden: Why would I know?
Valentina: You need to be more involved in your image and your branding, Kade.
Kaden: Oh I’m involved with my PR team, and she should be here, in my house, in my bed, with my cock deep inside her.
Valentina: Next time have condoms handy and make sure your brother doesn’t waltz in the house while we’re . . . occupied.
Kaden: So, are you at least going to send me a video of you fucking your pretty cunt with you vibrator?
Valentina: Nope. We’ll talk later.
Kaden: Don’t leave me with blue balls, Valentina Holiday.
