Three weeks later

Beckett King

POV

“Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Anna happy birthday to you.” I smile as we sing happy birthday to my niece.

Dianna Holding my eldest brother’s stepdaughter, or as we call her Anna. The girl is a bubble of joy waiting to burst.

Today I have a late shift, so I won’t be drinking with my brothers. I changed shifts with one of the guys so I could be here today with my family and for my niece.

“You know in a few months there will be one hell of a party.” Axel says beside me before taking a swig of his beer.

I smile and shake my head. We all know what he means. Soon Damon and Jessica will have their wedding and that will be one hell of a party for sure. If only I could find love like that. I love my brother and I love Jessica I’m happy for them I truly am. Just I envy the love they share. 

I watch Jessica’s ex as he watches them kissing Anna as she blows out the candles. This man gave up all of this. He gave up a life with Jessica and Anna. He wanted nothing to do with them until Damon came into the picture then he cared more than anything.

Which if you ask me, is bullshit. You don’t get to walk away from your fucking family and expect them to just wait for you and always be there for you to fall back on. The fucker cheated on Jessica, it took everything in me not to sucker punch the bastard when Jessica and Damon told me he was going to be at their wedding a couple of weeks ago. 

He reaches for the woman next to him and walks toward where Jess and Damon were. 

My eyes fall back on my brother and sister-in-law. My brother has always loved Jessica from the second he laid eyes on her. they have the kind of love they write about in books. The kind of love we all crave for. They’re the typical we fell in love at first sight and even through everything kept them apart they fought to stay together. They were destined to be together.

I fucking sound like a sad sap. I have lost my fucking marbles. I sound like a God damn pussy. 

Thinking about on what I’ve felt for Jessica when we were kinds wasn’t love. No, it was infatuation. 

My phone rings distracting me. I pull out my phone to see Alexandra’s name flashing. 

“I got to get this.” I tell Axel.

He nods. “Sure, I’m going to go introduce myself to the lovely ladies over there.” He smiles making his way over to a group of nurses from Damon’s workplace.

I frown when I see Anastasia his partner shooting daggers at my brother as he flirts with them. I don’t understand how the idiot is the only one who doesn’t see she’s so hopelessly into him is sad.

I walk into my parents’ house to answer the call. 

“Hello?” I answer.

“Hey, I got some news I want to share with my one and only best friend.” She tells me.

“Oh, is that right?” I tease.

I walk up to my childhood bedroom. I sit on the bed and look around the room. the old dressing table covered in stickers, the bedside table has seen better days, mostly because how my brothers and I have broken it at least ten times. We were the worst when it came to keeping things nice my father has fixed it a million times. 

“Yeah, I’m dating. I’ve told him everything Beck.” She speaks. 

I smile. “I’m happy for you Lex.” I tell her. “That’s all I’ve ever wanted for you.” I tell her honestly.

Alexander Carter has been through more shit than anyone I’ve ever known.

“I’ve got more news. Daniel and I are having a baby… I’m actually excited. I didn’t think it was possible I am.” She says happily.

“Congratulations Lex, you deserve to be happy.” I tell her.

“Thank you. So, tell me how are things going with you?” she asks. 

 Sigh heavily. There’s no one in my life. The woman I like doesn’t even see me. She doesn’t remember our time together. I fall back onto my bed. I lay there eyes closed.

“Oh no what’s going on?” she asks. 

“Nothing. Just venting. I don’t know. There’s a girl.” Tell her. 

“Oh?” she asks.

“I don’t know. I like her but we work together Lex, not just that. We met at a club three months ago, but she doesn’t remember me. I don’t know what to do…” my voice trails off. I really had no idea how to get her attention.

How do I get her to see me? I could lose my job for getting involved with her.

“Are you sure she doesn’t recognize you? She’s not just pretending?” Alexandra asks. 

I shrug. “I have no idea. Why would she need to hide that?” I ask her.

“We’ll you work together, and she just started working there, maybe she’s trying to protect herself. What if you speak to her about it and find out what she’s got to say?” Lex asks. 

I pull a face. Why in the hell did I have to do that? That doesn’t make any sense to me. Why does men always have to do all the work. Why could she come to me. Why did I have to ask her what she thinks of me. I was going to make a complete idiot of myself because I’m listening to her, aren’t I? 

“Oh no, I know that silence. You too scared to do, aren’t you?” Lex asks. 

I open my eyes and sit up. “I’m not scared I just don’t see the point in doing that. If she likes me, she can tell me herself.” I shrug.

“God, what are we in high school?” she asks. 

I roll my eyes. “If we were in high school, I wouldn’t have to do any work. Girls were like moths to a light when it came to me. If I remember correctly you had to keep the girls off me.” I tease her.

“Urg! You’re such an ass.” She groans.

“Of course, I am. So, you are naming the baby Becky if it’s a girl and Beck if it’s a boy?” I ask. 

She bursts out laughing. “I would love to see Dan’s face when I tell him that. Naming our child after you? Why on earth would I do that?” she asks. 

“I got one good reason, because I’m the reason you’re dating…” I tell her.

“Of course, you would think that. But I guess that’s true. Still not naming my child after you. However, it’s not working, you’re not changing the subject. We’re talking about this girl you like.” She speaks. 

“You know we’re not teenagers anymore, I don’t have to tell you everything anymore.” I tell her.

“Come on. what’s her name?” she asks. 

I sigh heavily. She wasn’t going to drop it. “Sadie Wilde.” I tell her.

“Hmm... Interesting…” she says under her breath.

I frown. “What?” I ask. 

“I checked out her on social media. Your girl doesn’t have any social accounts. What woman doesn’t have at least a f******k account?” she asks

I frown. “Maybe like I she doesn’t give a fuck about social media, from what I’ve seen, people steal your pictures and pretend to be you. Have you seen catfish?” I ask her.

“Okay I’ll take that as an answer for now. I’ll do more digging though; I don’t trust it still.” She speaks. 

“Cool. Do what you got to do. I got to go though. I’ve got a party to get back to. I’ll speak to you again, okay?” I tell her.

“Bye Bestie.” She teases.

I roll my eyes and hang up. 

I sit on my bed for a few minutes before I go back to the party.

Sadie Wilde

POV

These last three weeks have been the worse experience of my life. Working so closely with someone I want to fuck is so fucking hard. Like literally whenever he’s around I want to rip off his clothes and have my way with him.

“Sadie come here for a second.” Tia calls 

I roll my eyes and get off my sofa. Naruto is amazing lately, but I don’t get a chance to watch it as much as I want to anymore because my best friend wants to hang out all the damn time now that her and Dante work different shifts.

“Ahh. Look how hot he is.” I look at the Tv in my spare bedroom and roll my eyes. I should have known she was in here watching BTS YouTube videos. 

I dramatically roll my eyes. “I see.” I say in a bored tone. 

“Isn’t RM the hottest guy out of all of them. He’s not this way about him I can’t help but fall for his charms.” She says with hearts in her eyes.

I walk away without saying anything. She’s working on my God damn nerves. 

I press play on my anime and block her out. I don’t care if I’m watching filler episodes. This is still Naruto. 

Tia comes and sits beside me. She grabs a hot wing from my bowl and eats it without saying a word. She knows better.

“You remember the club we went to when we first got here?” I ask her.

She shrugs eating. 

“I met a guy that night. We fucked in the bathroom stall. Anyway a few weeks ago I saw him again, but we work with him.” I tell her slowly. 

She shrieks beside me. “So, what happened? You fucked him in the bunk?” she asks. 

I roll my eyes. “No, I didn’t realize who he was until a week later, so I ignored him… But since then I’ve been I don’t know wanting to rip his clothes off and fucking him on the rig.” I tell her.

She lets out an ear-piercing shriek and turns to me. “Who is he? Montgomery? Davies? Wilson?” she asks. 

I shake my head. “King…” 

I’m met with complete and utter silence. 

I turn to Tia and see her frowning at me. 

“What?” I ask her.

“Beckett King?” she asks. 

I nod. “Is there another one?” I ask. 

She nods. “Well, I’ve met his brothers. Axel and Damon last week. I remember. Damon’s the doctor he looks a lot like Beckett and then Axel he is the police officer.” She tells me.

I roll my eyes. “So?” I ask. 

She shakes her head. “I did not expect you to say Beckett. You like two different people. He’s not for you at all. His all sweet and you are well you.” she says totally offending me.

“What’s wrong with me?” I frown.

“Sadie, you don’t do relationships and Beckett King screams commitment. He is not the type of guy you’re normally into.” She tells me.

“King and I fucked inside a piss bucket; I doubt that is screams commitment. That screams no strings attached.” I tell her.

She cringes but shakes her head and says, “I’m telling you that doesn’t seem like him at all if you ask me.” she shrugs.

“I’m telling you; you don’t know this guy. and I’ll prove it to you.” I tell her.

“Oh really?” she cocks her damn brow at me.

I nod. “I’ll get him to fuck me again. and then all show you, I know him better than you do.” I tell her.

“And if you don’t?” she asks. 

“I’ll get you tickets to the next BTS concert…” I tell her.

Her smile brightens. “And if you do, I’ll give you favorite backpack” She smiles.

Oh, that has me excited. She is not a LV backpack her ex gave her for her birthday. She loves that thing. But so, do I. 

I hold my hand out. “Deal.” 

She smiles and shakes my hand. “Deal…”

Oh, this just got interesting. There’s no way I’m not winning that bag. There’s no way he would ever not want to fuck me again. not when he chased after me. 

I just have to give him a good enough reason to fuck me. it’s as easy as that. I know it is. what can I offer him? There has to be some way I can get him to see me, right? 

“So this guy has his mother’s and father’s charka in him?” Tia asks. 

I laugh, “Not really, his mother’s charka is in the key to help him control the tailed beast. And then his father’s charka was imbedded in the seal, to make sure the nine tails doesn’t come out when Naruto lost control.” I explain.

She nods and keeps watching. “I like this killer bee guy. that dude makes me laugh.” She laughs when Bee wants rap with Yamuto.

I shake my head but do not say anything. I like watching it alone, but I don’t mind watching Naruto with Tia sometimes she’s actually interested, when it comes to filler episodes she falls asleep though.
