"Gosh, you don't have to be so rude about it." Lisa hisses out from behind me.
"You're right, but you're so hooked on my dick that I can be anything I fucking want, and you'd still come crawling like a dog in heat to get another ride. Now leave me the fuck alone. I'll talk to you later." I stare at her for a second, so she understands that I'm not playing around. She slams back in her chair, causing the professor to turn in our direction again. He only sees me staring at Mel and that bastard next to her this time.
I look at my watch, figuring out how much time is left in the class. So far in the last five minutes, I've seen Matteo reach out and touch Mel at least three times. If I have to sit through much more of this, I may walk over there and rip his fucking fingers off. He wouldn't know what to do with her anyway. There's no need for her even to entertain someone like him. I've already told her about letting these little boys think they have a chance.
A few more minutes pass, and the professor finally calls the end of class. We all jump up from our chairs, and Lisa tries to grab hold of me, but I yank my arm out of her grasp. She says something to my back, probably a curse, but I don't give a fuck. I need to know what the fuck this bastard is still doing talking to Mel.
"Oh, Xander, you know you need to start paying more attention in class. I honestly don't know how you ace all these classes." Mel turns to me with a huge smile and teases me.
"I could say the same for you. You and Matty boy here were talking through the entire class." I jerk my eyes to his face and stare daggers at him. He looks away, uncomfortable for a second, and retrains his gaze on Melisande, "well, you know what they say, time flies when you're in good company."
Mel turns her head, and a bright red blush covers her cheeks. What kind of weak shit is that? I've used that same line to get in girl's pants before. She's heard me use that shit before. There's no way that she's going to be falling for something like that.
"Well, I guess that's great for me since I'll be keeping her company for the rest of the day." I grab hold of Melisande's arm and gently push her towards her books so we can pack up and go.
"'Oh, my bad, I didn't know this was your lady," Matteo says in front of me.
"Oh, I'm not his lady. He's my best friend, and we're roommates. We usually spend the days together." Mel quickly corrects him. I clench the muscles in my jaw when he smirks at me and says, "That's wonderful, I mean if you're still down to grab that bite to eat."
"For sure, I hate having the class so late in the day. I'm always starving right after. "
"We have food in the fucking house, Mel. Why are you going to waste your time and money running around town when we can just go home for this shit.' I say. This motherfucker is pissing me off something serious. Why can't he take the hint and fuck off? Sure I may have no claim on Melisandre, but I've kept her safe since elementary school. Everyone knows that she and I are always together, and everyone also knows that she's off-limits. At least they did when we were in high school.
Now that we're in college, it's like every motherfucker with eyes and a cock wants to test me. Thankfully Mel has turned down most of them, which is why I just can't figure out for the life of me why she'd go for this wussy-looking pretty boy.
"I don't want what's in the house, Xander. I want the food Matteo was telling me about. Gosh, why do you have to be such a spoiled sport all the time? We live in this gorgeous city, yet we never really go out. I'm tired of staying in the house all the time. I think I deserve a little bit of fun tonight.
"'I agree," Matteo says from next to us and cut my eyes at him to let him know that if he says another motherfucking word, I'm going to rip his fucking tongue out of his mouth. Of course, I don't say those actual words. Instead, I just stare at him.
"You could be using that time to spend with me."
I turn around and see Lisa behind me, her hip cocked to the side, and her arms crossed over her chest. "Nah, babe, nobody likes a needy slut. I think you can wait a few days for my cock." I pick up Mel's books and start walking out, leaving Lisa in the classroom with her mouth gaped open and smell and Matteo walking behind me. I don't have time to deal with Lisa right now when I have to figure out how to get rid of this fuck boy Matteo.
CHAPTERTWO
Melisande
"Is he always this uptight when it comes to you?' Matteo leans down and whispers in my ear.
"Yeah, he is. Usually, He's not bad, but he gets weird when he sees dudes talking to me. Actually, that's a lie. He doesn't want anyone to mess with me, which I have to be thankful for. He's the brother I never knew I wanted." I giggle and look over my shoulder at Xander, following Matteo and me. He's been sulking the entire way from class.
"That's cool. I guess we all gotta have someone to look out for us. Though I'd be more than happy to look out for you myself." He wraps an arm around my shoulder, and I tense in anxiety. I've never had a boyfriend before, and though Matteo wouldn't be the first one to try, I don't really know how to act. I'm just happy he's not as scared of Xander as everyone else seems to be. That's a plus, I guess
"It takes a lot to look out for me." I say back to him, and he tightens his grip on me.
"I think I can live up to the challenge." Matteo leans forward like he's going to try and kiss me when Xander walks up behind us and bumps him with his shoulder.
"You two ever planning on getting to where we're going, or are you going to act like fucking horndogs in the middle of the street. You, Matteo, I know it takes a lot for you to get some. But Mel, I didn't think you were such a fucking slut for attention."
Anger exploded in my body, 'Xander, who the fuck are you talking to like that. I am a grown woman, and if I want to kiss all over Xander in public, I'll do it. You don't own me no matter what you may think, I don't belong to the great Xander Gerard, and more so, I don't owe you any explanation. I'm not a slut and for you to fix your mouth to say something like that to me is appalling. Is that how you talk to people you care about?' "
He stares at me for a second, those chocolate brown eyes cutting right through every layer of anger and hostility I'm trying to uphold. "Yes, you do."
I look away for a second, trying to figure out what he's talking about. Out of all the things I said, he answered with that? "What? Yes, I do what?"
"Yes, you do belong to me. I've had you since you were a little tiny scrap of a girl. Now that you've blossomed into a full-grown woman, you think I'd have no say in what happens in your life? Fine, but I promise you now, these fuckboys will never be what I am to you."
"Are you sure you two aren't together?" Matteo asks loud enough for me to remember he was indeed still right here in front of me.
