I knock on the door, looking back to see Torch sit down on the step clicking the lighter he always has with him open and closed. “What’s the deal with that?”
He looks up at me. “Maybe one day I’ll tell you.”
The door opens and Lucy smiles at me in surprise. “Hey, I didn’t think you were coming.”
She steps aside and I walk in. “Yeah, well, I guess you haven’t heard yet then.”
“Lucy, you won’t believe what just—” Nikki stops talking once she sees me. “Holy shit. You okay, Trace?”
I nod at her.
“What happened?” Lucy looks between us in confusion. I explain to them what happened once I got to the club and I hate the horror on their face, what’s worse is that it’s mixed with pity. “Jesus, how are you?”
“I’m fine.” I lie. “I figured I would come here and try to distract myself.”
We spend the day eating junk food and watching trashy movies.Magic Mikeis on when Whip, Twisted, and Torch walk in. They all stare at the screen as the guys perform one of their routines.
“This is the shit you guys watch?” Torch looks over at me.
I shrug. “It makes for good dreams at night.”
“Those douches? They probably aren’t even straight.” The rest of the guys grumble something along the same lines as they move about the room. I jump when Torch’s voice is right in my ear. “If you really want to see some moves, all you gotta do is ask.”
I turn around and glare at him. “Don’t start.”
“See, that’s the thing. If you’d just stop fighting me, you’d be begging me to finish.” He winks at me before standing up straight and walking into the kitchen.
I can feel the blush on my cheeks and I curse my traitor of a body.
It wants Torch, bad.
I haven’t been able to stop thinking about our kiss; the way his lips felt against mine. How he excited me and scared the shit out of me all at once. I felt alive and more turned on than I’d been in a while.
I catch Nikki looking at me with a smile on her face. “You’re screwed, girl.”
Don’t I know it?
“Hey, Luce! Don’t forget my mom is coming in next week to help with things,” Whip calls from the kitchen.
Lucy rolls her eyes, which is weird because her and Jordan’s mom have always gotten along “Okay, babe!” she yells back. She looks at Nikki and me before sighing. “Guys, this might just be the pregnant bitch in me, but his mom has been driving me insane. She wants to be involved in everything, and even though her intentions are good it’s driving me a little bit crazy.”
“That’s normal and, honestly, as far as I’m concerned take advantage of being a bitch while you’re pregnant. You have an excuse.” Nikki laughs.
Lucy shakes her head. “Thanks, Nik. I don’t want her to hate me though.”
“Listen, Mary, no one could ever hate you.” Lucy narrows her eyes at me. She hates when I call her that. “Just take a deep breath and if you need someone to come save you, text one of us. Or you could take your bitchiness out on us, that way you don’t let it slip on his mom. It could be worse. You could have a stalker on your ass twenty-four seven like me.”
“Oh, please. Twisted told me that Shooter tried to give you someone else and you wouldn’t have it. Whether you want to admit it or not, you love having that man follow you around.” She cocks an eyebrow at me.
“I just didn’t want someone I didn’t know hanging around.”
“Lie. If you think we can’t tell, you’re crazy.” She throws a piece of popcorn at me. “You should really just put the both of you out of your misery and get it on.”
“Really mature, Dr. Phil.” I pick up the throw pillow behind me and throw it at her.
“Call me whatever you want, all I’m saying is that it’s pointless to fight the inevitable. Plus, let’s be honest we have all heard stories about Torch, you won’t be disappointed.”
“Seriously? One, eww. Two, if I did want him, I definitely don’t want to be reminded about stories from other girls he’s been with.” I stand up needing to leave because I can’t keep pretending like I don’t want him.
