Chapter 44 - David
Last Updated:
2021-11-02 02:34:00I glance beside me at Alex as he hobbles his way across the parking lot to the medical building.
A faint smile dances along my face as I tighten my grip around both book bags slung over my shoulder.
He takes a few more steps before he grunts and whips his head around towards me. His eyes narrow while he shoots daggers at me. “I told you I can manage crutches and my bag. I’m not completely helpless, you know.”
I flash him a cheesy smile. “I know what you said, but I want to make sure you do nothing else to hurt yourself. You are lucky you didn’t break more bones. You…”
He stops suddenly and, while teetering on one foot, he glares at me. “I broke my toe and cracked a few other bones. It freaking hurts like hell even with the pain medicine. This stupid boot is itchy and uncomfortable, but it isn’t stopping me from getting to my classes.&nb

These last few days have been great. Even though I act all upset and irritated with David, my heart is soaring high with all the attention he is giving me. Not to forget the amazing sex each night, which he is always very careful to not hurt my foot. I still can’t believe I hurt my foot like that. I’ve never been like this before. Rushing to try and get to someone has never been my thing. Luckily, the bet is finally over. A part of me is excited that I don’t have to worry about it anymore, while another part of me is sad that I won’t need David anymore to fulfill my sexual needs. I’m free to go find a girl or two to satisfy me. However, whenever I think about being with a girl now, a pain shoots right through my heart. What in the heck is going on? My head is so messed up right now. I hobble along the sidewalk as my mind tries desperately to make sense of every

A smile spreads across my face as his question repeats in my mind.I know exactly what I’m going to do.I turn towards Brandon. “Help me up. I have somewhere to be.”He flashes a smile at me and quickly gets up.As he helps me up, he chimes, “If you need any help, please let me know. Okay. David is one of my best friends, and I would do almost anything to see him happy all the time.”I steady myself against the tree while Brandon grabs my crutches and hands them to me. “I promise not to do anything that would hurt him.” I pause for a second. “However, if he hurts me first, I can’t keep that promise.”He shakes his head while he grins from ear to ear. “Don’t worry. David won’t do anything to hurt you.”My heart races at his words and hope he is correct.I hobble as fast as I

Angry rushes through me as I rip Bridget’s hand from around my neck and shove her away.As soon as her nasty lips are free from mine, I wipe my lips with the back of my hand, trying to remove anything she may have left behind, including her ugly orange lipstick.I narrow my eyes and glare at her as I hiss, “What the hell, Bridget. I just told you I wasn’t interested.”Her cocky smile disappears as hurt flashes through her eyes. “You have always been interested before.”I wipe my lips again. The back of my hand has more of her lipstick as I growl, “I was only interested in you one time. Then you turned into this clingy, demanding witch. I was going to let you get by with the quick peck on the cheek, but I’m not going to after that brazen kiss.”Kai nudges my arm. “Uhm, David, I think you have bigger problems now.”I whip my head a

I stare down at my glass of whiskey and pout.How could I be so stupid? I should have known better, but somehow, I couldn’t see what was really going on. Was I really wrapped around his finger that much to not realize what was actually happening?I don’t even have to answer. I already know the answer.Yes. David has me wrapped so tight around his finger that I can’t think of anything else but him.A soft snort spills from me as I grab my glass and take another chug of liquor. The alcohol burns as it slides down my throat, but it doesn’t burn as much as my heart right now. Nothing can compare to the pain in my chest.I set the glass back down on the counter and watch the ice shuffle back and forth before they finally come to a rest.I block out everything around me as the image of that girl kissing David comes flooding back into my mind. His smile

I run my hand through my hair as we leave the third bar. Where is he?As Kai and I rush back to his car, he points up the road. “The next place is a little distance up this way. I think that is the place you said Alex owns a hotel close by. Let’s hope we get lucky and find him before he does something really stupid.”My heart aches as I nod. “Yeah. Let’s try there.”I still can’t believe I have gotten myself into this situation. How could I have even let that witch Bridget kiss my cheek? I was even dumber, though, for letting her kiss my lips. Those are reserved for Alex only. No one else is going to touch them ever again.As we zoom down the road, Kai tentatively asks, “Do you think we should call Paul and Chance to come help look for him? They might know where he has gone.”At this point, I’m willing to try any

My head throbs as I slowly open my eyes and glance around the room. A sense of relief washes over me as I quickly recognize my penthouse apartment.The events from yesterday flashes through my mind and my relief soon vanishes into thin air as a wave of panic shoots through me.Did I do anything with that woman? I don’t know what she looks like. I don’t even know her name.How could I be so stupid?Plus, I never bring a one-night stand to my place, even if it isn’t where I’m staying at the moment.I slowly look to my side, trying not to move in case I’m not alone. I exhale in relief when I find the bed empty. However, when I turn back toward my nightstand, another wave of panic washes over me as my eyes land on a glass of water and a couple of pills.No. Please tell me that woman isn’t here.As I move slightly under the covers, a

With David right beside me, I walk into the bar and scan the area. I quickly spot our group of friends in the back corner.A wide grin spreads across my face when my eyes land on Chance, who flashes me back a cheesy grin and motions for us to come over.David leans towards me and whispers, “I can tell he already thinks he has won. I can’t wait to see what he is going to do when he finds out he didn’t.”My grin morphs into a smirk as I nod. “Well, we will soon find out.”With my head held high, we walk through the crowd to the table. As I sit down across from Chance, I grab one bottle of beer from the center of the table.Before I can even take a drink, Chance huffs, “Are you ready to give me your keys? You know you can’t avoid it.”A soft chuckle spills from me and David as I shrug my shoulders and take a drink of beer.Kai, sit

Chance glares at me from across the table while his nostrils flare. His eyes boring holes right through me while steam rolls off him in waves and slams against me. Our eyes lock and we instantly fall into a silent battle. I will not back down.I keep my brilliant smile directed at him, while he returns it by shooting daggers at me with his eyes.Our battle of wills continues on in silence for a few minutes before he finally grunts and suddenly marches off towards the front of the bar. But first, he kicks the chair, laying on the floor behind him, off to the side.What the heck?I stare at his back as he disappears through the sea of people. I fight back the urge to celebrate as my victory is damped by the impending cold war which I know is coming next.My smile fades after a few seconds before I whip around towards Kai. “You better go follow him. You never know what he is goi

My stomach flutters as I look into the mirror. The day has finally come, and much faster than I had originally planned, but I’m not afraid. I want it this way. I scan my reflection from head to toe and make sure nothing is out of place. My white tuxedo almost glows, while my hair is shines. I move my black tie a little until it is just where I want it. The corners of my mouth curl upward and I softly whisper, “Perfect.” Chance walks into the room and grunts, “Of course you look perfect. I wouldn’t expect anything less.” He marches upside me and stares at me through the mirror. “I still can’t believe you have actually given up your Casanova title and all the girls. But I’m glad you have finally found your true happiness. Too bad your grandparents aren’t here to see you, though. However, I’m sure they are looking down upon you, though, and are cheering for you.” Paul steps into the room a

My eyebrows knot together as I look at David. What have I missed? I’m sure we have covered everything.As my mind continues to run through our game plan, David flashes me a huge grin and pulls me flush against his firm and muscular body. His deep husky voice sends a warm shiver through my entire body as he chimes, “This.”Before I can register what he has said, his moist lips capture mine in a passionate kiss.Heat rushes through my body as I snake my hands around his neck and pull him tighter against me. However, before my lust can surge and consume me, the moment crumbles to pieces when Paul and Kai pull us apart from each other.I whip my head around and glare daggers at my friend. At the same time, the cheers and whistles from the crowd in the cafeteria, along with their clapping, roars through my ears. I quickly swallow my words and scan the crowd.Paul nudges my arm.

I walk into the cafeteria with my head held high and my smirk shining bright. This is the day I’ve been waiting for. Today, we will end this headache and teach the person a lesson.With a spring in my step, I stride over to our usual table. I nod at the additional engineering students at and around our table.My smirk grows bigger as a spark dances around in my eyes as I greet my friends. “Hey, guys. Are you ready for this?”Brandon flashes me a brilliant smile as he nods. “I’m ready. My father has everyone on standby and waiting for our signal. Then they will end everything for us.”I nod and sit down next to David. I give him a quick kiss on the cheek. “Hey, babe. Did you miss me?”He turns and smiles back at me. “Yes, I did. Are you going to give me something special to ease my frustrations for wai

Steam rolls off me as I march into the hazer’s office. All eyes immediately turn towards me as I roar, “Tell me you know who this bastard is! I want the person strung up and taken care of right away!”I storm behind my desk and whip around, facing everyone. I narrow my eyes and slam my hand down on my desk. “I WANT ANSWERS, NOW!!!”An eerie silence falls over the room as I snarl and plop down in my chair. The image of Alex’s concerned face flashes through my mind. We have so many people working on this, and someone knows something.Plus, this has dragged on for far too long. This whole thing needs to end, and soon. One way or another, I’ll make sure it ends.Kai clears his throat and shifts in the chair in front of my desk. “We have looked at everything, but we keep coming up empty. What do you want us to do?”I raise an eye

I wrap my arm around Alex’s waist and rest my chin on his shoulder. I softly ask, “Babe, are you alright? You haven’t been talking much the last few days or bickering with Chance.”He hasn’t been doing a lot of things since we left that meeting with his parents. I called my parents to let them know what had happened, and my mother showed up the next day and spoiled him. Even though she was able to get him to smile, the spark in his eyes was still gone.I have lost count of the number of times she told him she is his mother and no one else matters. However, I can understand how Alex is still fixated on his parents picking their business over their family and him. I can’t even imagine the pain he is going through.Later, Brandon’s father confessed he would have helped them had they said they wanted Alex over any business deal. Unfortunately, now, his parents are stuck d

David wraps his arm around my waist as we walk into the restaurant. “Baby, are you sure about this?”I nod and glance over my shoulder at the others. “As long as our friends are here and Brandon’s father, I have nothing to worry about. My parents won’t do anything to make him think less of them. They want his approval. Plus, they don’t want any rumors getting out about them, which is why I picked a popular restaurant for our meeting. Whatever their problem, it must be important, otherwise they wouldn’t have agreed to meet here. They would have requested someplace else a little more private.”Even though my words come out cold, my gut twists and my heart aches. This is all a game to them in order to get ahead in the business world. Why do they insist on roping me in on it, too? They could have had a good life without involving me.He kisses the side of my h

I shake my head and stare across the cafeteria table at Brandon. “My gut is telling me it is someone close. I hate to admit this, but I think it is someone really close to us. I’m hoping I’m wrong. I work very hard to only have trustworthy and reliable people around me, but this all seems a little too personal.” He presses his lips together. “I understand what you are saying, but I still don’t believe it is someone who is close to us. I can vouch for Kai. He would never do anything like this. You already know David is livid about everything that has happened, so you know it isn’t him. Plus, he doesn’t have anything to gain by doing it.” He glances around the almost completely empty area before he turns back to me. “I still put odds on it being your parents or the girl who they wanted you to marry. You were too pissed off and were shooting daggers are your parents to notice the look in the girl’s eyes.&

I sigh as I stare up at the night sky and lean against the balcony railing. Images from earlier dance through my mind. I knew the press conference meant everyone will know about us, but I honestly didn’t expect some upper classman to act like that. I know he knew who David was because the whole campus is talking about us now.I’m almost tempted to teach the guy a lesson, but engineering is David’s territory. I’ll let him and the other hazers handle it. I’m sure they have something up their sleeves.A faint smile dances across my face.Buzz.What is it now?I take a deep breath and pull my phone out of my pocket. I hesitate for a moment as I stare at the notification.Before I chicken out, I tap my phone. The message pops up along with a picture of me hitting the guy this afternoon. The corner of my mouth curls downward as I stare at th

I walk down the hallway towards the hazer’s room while ignoring all the whispers and murmurs swirling around me. Unfortunately, I can’t miss one particular cocky voice as he snickers, “If I knew the Casanova was going to go for guys, I would have swooped him up first before anyone else could have gotten their claws into him. He is an amazing catch.”My feet instantly stop, and I slowly turn my head towards the group of upper classmen just a little farther down the hall. The one who is spouting all the nonsense chuckles as he nudges the guy beside him. “You know I would. He is so fine.”I raise an eyebrow and shoot daggers at the arrogant jerk. When he opens his mouth to say something else, still oblivious to my presence, I cut him off. “Alex is very particular in what he likes. You would never pass his standards.” I emphasize ‘you’, while I narrow my eyes a
