Lucas' P.O.V.
There was my rose, standing before me in a black small dress. A dress that left little to the imagination. Her red hair had been straightened, seeming so much longer now. She looked hot as hell with those red stilettos that matched her hair, and shade of lipstick, perfectly.Leo had gotten her some fruity drink, as if a girl like her would like something like that. She took it with a smile, being polite for some reason. I switched her drink for my own. I knew she would love the burn of the alcohol down her throat. I wasn't wrong as she downed it without even making a face. As much as I tried I hadn't been able to get her out of my head since that night.That's not to say I haven't tried, but no woman could seem to excite me the same way she did. Her body was perfect with the unexpected tattoo sleeve on her side that went from just below her breast to her upper thigh. I knew she probably got those done without a cry of pain. She was tough as nails.It was the way she stood up to a drunk large man with no fear that drew my attention to her that first night. The game she played with me after, only had me wanting her more. She wasn't like any of the girls I'd been with before. I doubt she even knows who I really am, which only added to her allure. She wasn't after me because of who I am. She had come for me because I was the most intimidating man there and she liked the challenge.I don't understand why she's here with someone like Leo. She's so out of his league. Leo would have no idea what to do with a woman like her. Leo may be my best friend, but he's an idiot. He doesn't have anything to offer her, but his money. I don't know how he got her here, but I'm not letting this chance escape me.I had to get Lisa from her apartment in New Jersey, making me late. She's lucky she's my sister, or I'd be pretty pissed. She needed a night out after the week she'd been through though, so I didn't mind getting her. Leo loves seeing her too. He's had a long standing crush on her since he was 6. She pays him no mind thankfully. I don't want to have to choose between my best childhood friend and my sister if they ever did hook up and break up after."Care for a dance?" I asked her, enjoying the pink I was causing to show on her cheeks."Shouldn't you be dancing with your date?" She snapped, surprising me a bit. I just laughed at the thought. Was she jealous?"That's not my date. She's my sister." I leaned into her ear to speak so I wouldn't have to keep yelling."Yeah, sure, and I'm a rockstar." She rolled her eyes, not believing me for some reason.I shrugged my shoulders, heading towards Lisa. Maybe she'll believe it if Lisa tells her. Lisa already knew about Rose. I called her Wednesday complaining that she was taking up too much room in my mind. She made fun of me, wondering if this would be the girl I finally settled down for. She's wrong though, I think I just need to fu.ck her again to get her out of my system. I don't need another relationship after the shi.t I've been through."Do me a favor, go tell my Rose who you are." I asked her, prying her away from Kade who was doing his best attempt at capturing her attention."So that really is her then?" She took a selfie of herself, making sure to capture Rose in the background. She then zoomed into the picture to get a better look of her. She was great at checking people out without them noticing. "She's hot, Luke." She hit my chest with the back of her hand in surprise."She thinks you're my date.""Why didn't you tell her I'm your sister?""She didn't believe me." I shook my head."I got you. Don't worry. I'll make it happen." She winked at me as she flicked her black hair over her shoulder and made her way towards my Rose.They spoke for a while and I wondered what exactly she was telling her. When their conversation was over Lisa was heading back to me with a smile."I see why you can't get her out of your head. Good luck brother." She patted my back, before heading to the dance floor.What just happened?Rose started to walk in my direction, making me believe she was going to take me up on my offer, but instead she grabbed her friend and dragged her to the dance floor. Eshay by Dassy started playing, having Rose backing her as/s up against her friend. They danced seductively together, knowing exactly what they were doing.Rose paid me no mind as she had her fun. I couldn't help the amused grin that crossed my face as I watched her. She was fu.cking hot, and I wasn't the only guy who's attention she was catching. I saw other guys try to make their way towards them, but she'd push them away any time they touched her. She wasn't interested and she made it known."When did you meet her?" Leo came up beside me with his scotch in his hand."Last week.""It's not like you to still be hung up on someone a week later." He swirled his drink in his hand."I know." I couldn't pry my eyes away from her as he spoke to me."Damn man. I thought maybe I had a chance, but if she's slept with you, there's no hope for me." He laughed dryly. I try not to go after girls that I know Leo likes. I don't ever want a girl to cause a drift between us, but in this case I had her first."Sorry, Leo. Where'd you meet her anyway?""On campus, I kinda ran into her, or more like I accidentally wacked her with a door. Hurting her and breaking her phone." He groaned, explaining how they met. I laughed at him. He'd always been clumsy, but it usually ended in only his own pain and not someone else's."I'm surprised she still talked to you after that.""You and I both." Leo sighed. "Fu.ck man. I was really starting to like her. You know, she wasn't going to accept the phone I had gotten for her because it was too new?" He shook his head in disbelief.She didn't like lavish gifts.I made a mental note. I continued to watch her as I nursed my drink. I didn't miss the eyes of the girls that were checking me out. I ignored them all, even the ones that had the balls to come talk to me. I kept my eyes locked on my Rose and her beautiful body.I watched as a larger man made his way towards her. He grabbed her waist, but she pushed him off. He was a bit too drunk to take the hint, coming back to her and grabbing her hips again. I started walking towards them ready to help her when she needed it. I should have known she wouldn't need it."I said get your hands off me before I kick your as/s!" She yelled at him, not a shred of fear in her tone. This guy was easily double her size with the stilettos on, yet she threatened him like he was a small teenage boy. The guy just laughed at her, clearly not taking her seriously. I walked closer ready to pull the guy off her."Come on, babe. Don't be like that. You're sitting here dancing with your friend like that because you wanted a man to come to you. Here I am, baby."I was about to reach them when I saw her pull her fist back and punch him right in the throat, surprising the hell out of everyone. She then kicked his side, and punched his kidney. I could see she was an experienced fighter.Damn this girl is full of surprises.Olive's P.O.V.I stared down at the large guy before me, who was gasping for air. My dad was a professional MMA fighter in his youth and he taught me everything he knew when I turned 13. He told me I needed to be able to defend myself from any guy, no matter their size. Clearly, he was right. This wasn't the first time someone at a club tried to manhandle me and got put in their place. It was the first time I'd done it out on the dance floor. I watched as security pushed their way through the crowd, trying to make it to me. Shi.t I'll lose my scholarship if I get charges pressed against me. I tried to think of a good solution, but the alcohol was fogging my decision making skills. I was starting to panic when a familiar tattooed hand grabbed mine, pulling me through the crowd. "I'll bring her home safe," Lucas called back to Hailey, as he navigated us through the crowd and out the side exit. "Come on, we need to get you out of here." He tossed me the motorcycle helmet as he straddle
Lucas kept his promise of fu.cking me all throughout the night. My body was sore and my legs had forgotten how to work. I needed to get up and pee, but I wasn't sure I could. Lucas laid beside me in all his naked glory with his arm over my waist.He's so damn handsome.I watched him for a moment before my need to pee outweighed the fear of not being able to walk. I reluctantly got out of the warm bed, heading to the bathroom. I was still very much naked myself, but I didn't mind walking across his room like this. He had seen it all last night. I did my business, finally feeling relieved. After I washed my hands and face I stared at myself in the mirror seeing my body littered in purple hickeys.When did he do that?There were so many that there was no hiding it. I sighed, opening the door to see Lucas sitting up on the bed, leaning back against the headboard. He gave me that sexy as/s smirk of his as I approached him."Hey Luke, we need to talk." Leo opened Lucas' door, surprising us
Lucas' P.O.V. Last night was amazing. I had finally gotten my Rose in my bed again. She was just as beautiful as I remembered, if not more so. The sounds she made with the way she moved her body had me so wrapped up in her. My d*ck twitched just thinking about it again.She'd gotten onto me last night for trying to dance with her when she thought I had a date, but it seemed she was in a relationship, or so I thought when I answered the phone. I wanted to ruin it, and make her solely mine. I wasn't expecting to hear that the asshole had cheated on her. Who would ever be stupid enough to do such a thing to a woman like her?I didn't want to let her go. I didn't want her to leave already. I wanted to spend the morning with her, having her as my breakfast. Again, she left in a hurry as if spending any time with me was too much to ask of her. I was just here to please her and nothing more. I felt my stomach drop when she looked at me as she responded to Leo.Let's just pretend it never ha
Olive's P.O.V.I had finally cooled down from the anger that had plagued me this morning. Now I was just hitting the bag in front of me to try to get Lucas out of my head. Even though he made me mad this morning with his stupid stunt, I couldn't shake him from my mind. I kept picturing those intense brown eyes staring at me.I must really be under some kind of spell because I swear that I can smell his cologne right now. It was almost like he was here. I felt a pair of eyes on me, but I didn't want to turn to see who it was. I hated guys that came to the gym to flirt with girls. I'm not giving anyone a chance to talk to me. I saw a figure, from the corner of my eyes, step around me. They grabbed the bag from behind, holding it steady for me. I punched harder, hoping they would feel it through the bag. I didn't ask them to come hold it. I was doing just fine by myself."Damn, Rose. I had no idea you could punch that hard." His voice halted my next punch midair. I leaned to the side to
Olive's P.O.V."There, all done." Hailey stepped away from my face, allowing me to see myself for the first time since she started. She had styled my hair in a pinned up bun with a few loose strands on the front. She did my makeup flawlessly, adorning that red lipstick she loves to put on me so much. I could barely recognize myself. I looked beautiful and the dress fit me like a glove. Somehow Lucas knew my size better than myself. Hailey let me borrow a pair of her black heels for the night, that clasped at my ankles. I could feel my stomach turning, the swirl of butterflies in me was making me nauseous. My hands felt clammy, making me want to wipe them on the dress. My heart was racing from the nerves that were eating me up inside. "You look beautiful." Hailey whispered as we both stared at me in the mirror. "Thank you, Hails." The ring of the bell had my heart hammering faster. Hailey raced to the door, as I grabbed the small black clutch purse that she let me borrow for the n
Olive's P.O.V.Julius answered the phone almost immediately."Liv, baby. Thank God you came to your senses." Julius' voice actually sounded relieved. "I certainly came to my senses tonight." About what a fu.cking liar you are. "Come to my place and let's talk about it, Liv. I love you. It didn't mean anything. I swear. I only want you." Julius was making this so easy. "Julius, I want to make something very clear. You are not the man I thought you were. You are a disgusting pig who has no respect for me, or our relationship. I will never, never, Julius, get back together with you. We are done. There is no us. I am not your girl nor will I ever be again. I called to tell you that I will be blocking your number. Don't try to find me, and if you see me on campus, avoid me." I hung up before he could say anything, blocking the number. "Damn, Rose. That was hot." Lucas smirked at me, moving my hair back over my shoulder. His fingers tickled my exposed skin, making me flush again. Clov
Olive's P.O.V."Hailey?" I called out to her as I approached the bomb that must have gone off in the kitchen. The house was a complete disaster. "Hailey, did you try to cook again?" Hailey cannot cook to save her life, but she still tries anyway. She swears she just needs more practice, but I think she's cursed because everything stops working when she touches it in the kitchen or starts working in a weird way. I narrowly avoided being splattered down on by some odd substance that clung to the ceiling. Lucas was suppressing his laughter behind me, picking up what looked like an attempt at brownies, maybe? He eyed it curiously, looking at me with pressed lips. He was trying to be polite by not laughing, but he couldn't hold it in anymore. His laughter filled the apartment and my heart. It was the best sound I had heard in a while. His laugh was perfect and fit him exactly right. It was contagious too, making me laugh alongside him. Hailey stepped out of her room, with a towel on her
Lucas' P.O.V.Rose finally turned to look at me, her beautiful clear blue eyes captivated me even more. I smiled down at her, excited to see her fight. She took me somewhere I'd never been before. I was surprised she knew of such a place, and by the looks of it, they knew her well."Who is it?" The man I'm assuming is Davis, came over the walkie talkie. "Twinkle Toes." Carter's smile widened with excitement. Twinkle toes. I wonder how she got a fighting name like that. Doesn't sound very aggressive, but it seems she's respected enough to be known by these men. With an excited response like that, she must be a good fighter. My Rose has pricklier thorns than I thought. "No fu.cking way! I'll be right there." Davis sounded just as excited as Carter. Rose squeezed my hand, turning to me again. "I hope you don't mind that I leave you for a little bit tonight. I wanted to show you somewhere special to me." She explained, making my heart swell. Fu.ck I really like this girl. "I don't
