Cole Mathews can go to hell and take those sorority chicks with him.

Big breath in.

Slow breath out.

Alright,nowI’m done.

CHAPTER 19

COLE

Well shit.

With my brows pinched together, I watch as Cassidy races from the Union like the hounds of hell are nipping at her heels.

In my head, I saw this lunch working out differently.

I blow out a frustrated breath and turn my attention back to Vanessa and Andrea before glaring at them. “Seriously, what did you do that for?”

They both collapse into a fit of giggles. “It’s so fun screwing with these girls who want to get a great big taste of Cole.”

I roll my eyes. “Yeah, well, I was kind of hoping to smooth things over with that particular girl. Up until about a week ago, I was seeing her.”

Vanessa’s eyes widen. “Then maybe you should have said something, instead of letting me paw you in front of her.”

Andrea links an arm through her friend’s and takes up Vanessa’s side. “Yeah, Cole. We thought she was one of those silly groupies who are constantly throwing themselves at you. Usually, you’re more than happy when we intervene.”

She’s right.

Normally, I am.

There have been a lot of times when Vanessa and Andrea’s attention has come in handy.

But not this one.

“I think you blew my chances of getting back together with her to shit.”

Andrea shrugs. “It’s not a big deal. Just tell her we were joking around.”

“Everyone around here knows that we’re into chicks, not dicks,” Vanessa adds as if it’s completely obvious they’re lesbians.

My gaze slides back to the last place I saw Cassidy before she disappeared through the crowd as I plow a hand through my hair.

“Well, we’ve got to get moving.” Andrea flashes me an overly bright smile.

“Yeah, see you Saturday!” Vanessa chimes in.

They take off as well, leaving me to stand by myself at the burger place. I’m debating whether to skip lunch when someone steps into my space. For a moment, my pulse picks up speed, hoping Cassidy has returned.

Even if it’s to chew my ass out.

“You seriously can’t be that much of a douche.”

Nope. Definitely not Cassidy.

The urge to squeeze my eyes shut and bang my head against a wall slides through me.

Because yeah…apparently Iamthat much of a douche.
