UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 221 – 230
I nod in understanding. “But why?”
“It’s useless. We don’t need one. Our duty isn’t to bring women for fancy—our job is to keep watch.”
“Wow. Alexa said you guys are done.”
“We never actually dated. She fucked real good,” Nick says.
I jab my elbow into his ribs, and he chuckles.
“I don’t need a relationship, ma’am. Why don’t you go upstairs and wait for your man? These two want to make out—it’s written all over their faces.”
“You’re right. You’re saying it like it’s normal to watch your ex try to hook up with your boss’s right-hand man,” I say, and he chuckles.
“She wasn’t my ex, and two, she can’t hook up with Reid. You know Gray made rules, except they wanna fight again. Reid made the same mistake with Meghan, and it was terrible.” He says, and I nod.
“I thought there was chemistry between you two. Never saw you as a dick.” I say as Nick clutches his chest and fakes being pained.
“That was aggressive, though. She doesn’t want a relationship either. Alexa likes to have fun.”
Fact. She doesn’t like to be committed. She likes to be the boss—have fun, let loose, and bid them goodbye afterward. Damn, that’s kinda difficult. Who doesn’t want love?
Alexa still has her little wrist around Reid’s wrist as they turn to look at us and then look away, diving back into their conversation.
“Imagine your boyfriend walking into this scene,” Nick whispers.
“You’re acting like a jealous boyfriend right now,” I mutter, and he chuckles.
“You know I’m not,” he says, and I nod.
“I gotta leave, Hermosa. Matters.” He says, and I nod again as I look at him. Nick’s got pretty eyes, and seriously, he’s handsome.
“See ya, Nick,” I tell him as we leave.
Alexa didn’t even notice me leaving because she’s already hooked up in Reid’s dreamy eyes. Good gracious.
I open the door to Gray’s bedroom and enter. I shut the door behind me and walk to the couch. I drop my clutch and walk to his full-length mirror. I smile at my reflection and tuck my hair behind my ear.
My phone rings, and I go to the couch to pull it out from my clutch.
“Ace?” I mutter and slide the answer icon.
“Asshole,” I say on the phone as he chuckles.
“Sup, sweetheart. How are you?” he asks, and I chuckle.
“I’m good. How are you?”
“I’m obviously fine now. I missed this voice. I gotta chillax now. What’s up with you? Are you gonna storm the ball with your boyfriend?”
Talking about the ball, I actually left my dress in Alexa’s car. Aren’t I supposed to just take my car keys and drive back to my new apartment? My clothes are still in my apartment. Haven’t moved a thing to the penthouse.
“You know I will. Are you coming?”
“Yeah, yeah. I miss you guys a lot. Especially you. Still hate the fact that we’re cousins.”
I roll my eyes and sit on the couch.
“Stop flirting with me, Ace. I just hope you bring a girl.”
He scoffs on the phone. “What’s up with my crackhead twin?”
“She’s fine. Flirting with Gray’s right-hand man downstairs.”
“When is she ever gonna change? Aren’t you advising her? She needs to be in a relationship. She’s gotten laid enough?”
“Should I go downstairs and give her the phone so that you can advise her?” I ask sarcastically.
“I hate you,” he mumbles.
“You wish. You still wish we were not cousins.”
“Yeah. And it hurts. I need to talk to her tomorrow. She needs to settle down and stop acting like a stripper,” Ace says, and I chuckle.
“Ouch,” I laugh.
“Say hi to your boyfriend. Gotta go.”
“Sure thing, Ace.”
He hangs up as I drop my phone.
