Page 10 of Every Broken Promise
So far, nothing was going the way I had envisioned.
“Why are you naked?” Adam asked.
At his words, Astrid quickly turned around to look at me. I couldn’t help but smirk at her. A thrill went through me as her eyes rapidly roamed my chest.
“Like what you see?”
She rolled her eyes, then dismissed me and gave her attention to my brother. Not going to lie, that shit stung.
“You should tell your brother to cover up. I might call the cops for public indecency.”
Adam was cracking up, and I felt like I couldn’t catch a break with the girl.
“For fuck’s sake, Astrid, drop this bullshit,” I growled.
That didn’t do shit. She just flipped her hair, and everyone knew when a chick did it was equivalent to a fuck-you.
“So, about my car. Is it ready?”
Adam opened his mouth, but I had enough of her ignoring me.
FIVE
Delusion wasone hell of a bad bitch, and time was her enabler. You see, with time, I had convinced myself that I was over Tyler. His betrayal was something I would hold on to until I was old and gray on principle. The crush was a different story, and in the last four years and three months, give or take, I had convinced myself I was over it.
I thought yesterday was a fluke, you know. Time can suspend feelings, and you just need a little extra time to catch up on them once they sneak up on you.
Now that I had some decent sleep, there was no reason whatsoever for my vagina to get the tingles at seeing Tyler Kane’s abs. Not one single reason whatsoever.
Damn him for looking good without a shirt.
Why the hell wasn’t he wearing a shirt?
Pretending he wasn’t behind me was a feat all on its own. I was sure I could earn a Guinness World Record by the restraint I was showing.
“For fuck’s sake, Astrid, drop this bullshit,” he growled.
Don’t look back.
Don’t look back.
Do not look back.
It was like being in a scary movie and trying not to look back at the serial killer, except without the killing.
Instead, I flipped my hair even though it wasn’t bothering me.
“So, about my car, is it ready?”
Adam was enjoying this, I could tell by the grin on his face. He looked at me and then at Tyler, and I knew whatever he said would rile his little brother up.
However, I didn’t get a chance to hear what Adam was about to say because one second, I was making eye contact with Adam, and the next, my world spun.
Tyler, now with a shirt on, spun me around. Just as I glared at him and opened my mouth to curse him out, something dug into my belly.
That something was Tyler’s shoulder as I now found myself upside down and looking at his ass.
Damn, he had a great butt.
