Sadie Wilde

POV

“I’m sorry about earlier…” Tia apologizes.

I roll my eyes. “I know what I said upset you, don’t worry I’m not upset about that.” I wave her off.

“This place kind of gives me the creeps…” Tia says softly.

I nod, Gracie’s apartment seems to be on the weird side of town, I’ve never even been on this side before.

“What’s up with you, you’ve been moody for a while now.” Tia asks.

“It’s Beck, his been acting weird and it’s made me angry, and I don’t know why. I have no idea why I’m even angry. It’s what I wanted but the thought of him going out partying with his brother pisses me off for some reason.

She stops walking and looks over at me. “So, you’re mad because he is going to spend time with this brother tonight even though you’re not going to be home and partying yourself?” she’s looking at me with a scrutinizing look on her face.

    Chapter 26Beckett KingPOVI watch Sadie laying head under her pillow, mumbling to herself. She’s been incoherent since she came home pass two this morning, it took all of my energy to get her to bed. She tried hitting on me, calling me the tall sexy man. She took my hair out of my hair tie saying she loved my hair done. She tried seducing me when she couldn’t even walk straight or on her own. The most hilarious this was when she tried stripping for me, but tripping over her own two feet and nearly knocking her own teeth out.I have no idea what the fuck she drank at Gracie’s place but she smelt like a damn bar. I’ve seen Sadie drunk but this wasn’t drunk this was beyond wasted.“Come on get up, we got to get going…” I tell her.She mumbles some more. I shake my head. I had a date planned for us, it was around six in the evening, she’s slept the entire day and I let her.She slowly gets out from under the covers and pillow. “I’m telling you, she found out about us fucking and now she

But watching her ass in those fucking slacks makes me want to throw her over my shoulder and go into one of the empty offices upstairs. We were at fucking work and all I could think about was fucking Sadie over at damn desk. There was something wrong with me at this point."I can feel your eyes burning into my ass…" she says softly."Well you’ve got a good fucking ass and I can’t help but look at it.” I comment.She bursts out laughing. "I see... I’m sorry I’m a woman and you had to go a week without your fix." She says looking back at me. She has got a wide smile on her face.Damn doesn't she look like the hottest woman in the world? Her dirty blonde hair tied in a ponytail perfectly neat, I so badly want to mess it up."Oh?"

Beck has been acting strangely all week, if his not in a mood, he’s agitated with something. I know I didn’t do shit, but this started after he went out with his brothers, so I blame them. I’m not brave enough to say it to their faces of course. Those guys are built like fucking bricks. Every off-day Beck has is now spent with his family. He doesn’t sleep over anymore, he only slept over last night because he was exhausted after we fucked.I take a shower and change into a pair of navy yoga pants and a white sports bra. Throw a baggie hoodie over... with a pair of beige Uggs... I tie my hair into a messy bun. I sit down on my bed. I open my bedside table, I reach under the draw, I take out three pictures.

I had an intense workout with my self-defence trainer last night. I’ve got fucking bruises on my arms and legs... The bruises on my ribs don’t look at bad as the rest of my body. Beck knows about my classes so he wasn’t surprised when I came home looking like I lost a fucking fight.He smiled and then looked back at the road. I did not say anything and looked back out of the window. "What are we doing at a hiking trail?" I ask him praying we’re just checking the view.
