"Shit!" I said getting off of Grayson. "I told you we shouldn't do that."
"Yeah well you weren't complaining when we got down to it."
"I have to go talk to him."
"You need to keep him quiet, Scar. My parents were very clear. No one outside of the family can know about us. If the press caught wind of this it would look very bad." Grayson stated.
"I know," I sighed. "I'll handle Lee, I promise. I'll call you later."
I went straight to Lee's room, hoping Wesley wasn't there. I knocked this time.
Lee opened the door, shirtless once again.

When I arrived in my room the next day I was surprised to see Carter in Lulu's bed."Where's Lu?"I asked."She had a study group," he answered. "This isn't what it looks like.""Really Carter, you wanna play that game with me of all people?"He sighed. "I'm not a bad guy.""No, you're a bad person." I said. "What you're doing to both of these girls isn't right or fair. Do you actually plan on choosing or is getting your dick sucked twice a day just too good?""It's not about sex Scarlett. I'm in love with both of them!""Then treat them like it! Lulu is going to be a very successful woman, she cannot be a mistress."

"Um...that was...I was just kidding." Lincoln stammered. "I don't want to...you know.""It's okay if you do.""Well I don't! It was just a fucking joke, Scarlett, jeez." He stomped away from me."Everything okay?" Grayson asked."Yeah, um it's fine I guess.""Okay, so dinner with my parents tonight.""Huh? Grayson, why didn't you tell me earlier?" I demanded."I just found out myself, baby. It's gonna be fine, it's not like you've never met them.""I know, but I've never talked to them as your girlfriend. What if I say the wrong thing and they think I'm not good enough to be a W
The Billion Dollar Love Triangle Chapter 12: A Good Friend
Avoiding two guys at once is absolutely exhausting. I have resorted to having my phone on do not disturb so I don't feel every fucking buzz. Grayson was apologizing profusely and Lee just "wants to talk". If he wants to talk so damn bad, he can call up Nina and they can talk all night long. Avoiding them during the weekend was easy. I didn't have to leave my room and I could pretend that I wasn't in my room when they stopped by. Monday morning ruined the avoidance of Lee Windsor. "Hey Scar," He smiled hopefully as I took my seat next to him. "Good morning Lee." I said politely. My voice lacked the warmth I usually had when I was with him.

I stood in front of the door, just staring at it.I was furious with Lee for being smart enough to get me to talk to him. He was currently winning whatever game we had started.I sighed and knocked on the door. He opened the door immediately, once again shirtless. Does he not own shirts?!"Scarlett," he smiled. "Come to get your laptop?""You're an asshole." I pushed past him into the room."I had to get you here some way.""Well where is it?""Where's what?""Laptop, Lee." I snapped."Oh that, right. See, I'm not going to give it back to
The Billion Dollar Love Triangle Chapter 14: Club Antics
This club is kind of cool actually.It's surprisingly packed for a Monday night. Or maybe I'm just not up date on what goes on at clubs like this anymore.I used to go to them all the time high off my ass and dance the night away. But since getting clean I'm not exactly allowed to go to clubs alone in case there are temptations.I had to go with Grayson and he'd always take me to high end clubs that I didn't really enjoy.I guess it's okay that I'm here since I'm not technically alone.Lulu was ranting about Carter as we waited in the fast moving line."So I ask him 'Carter, why can't you make a decision?' and he says because dating us both is like dating the perfect woman. So app

Lee jumped away from me. "Where?" "He's at the bar right now, I'm pretty sure. What's wrong?" Lulu asked. "Nothing." I smiled. "I just have to talk to him about my scholarship, excuse me." I didn't know if I was more furious or scared. Grayson had to have followed me here. No way he would come to a place like this, especially on a Monday night. I spotted him in his "casual" blue suit. "Hello darling," I shouted over the music. "Scar, hey! What are you doing here?" He asked. "I was out dancing with my friends, what are you doing here?" "Just wanted a drink." "Here?" I questione
The Billion Dollar Love Triangle Chatper 16: Ending Things
I was so grateful for how busy things became for me. That way I didn't have to make a real decision about what Lee had told me. I still hooked up with him. We hadn't had sex yet and he didn't even ask for it. I liked that he wasn't pressuring me, especially because I would definitely give into that pressure quite easily. The Alumni Ball was coming together quite well. Everything was set and we were even going to add our Marketing final projects in a room where the Alumni could see it and see how talented we were. All that was left to do was get a dress. "You think this is cute?" I asked Grayson showing him a picture of a purple dress. He shook his head. "Nah. I don't think it would flatter you the right way."

"Scarlett, how the hell can you afford all of that?" Lulu asked."My boyfriend is being quite generous." I smiled."Even though you're fucking Lee?""I knew it!" Analeigh laughed. "You could cut that sexual tension with a knife!""Lee and I don't fuck. We...kiss and touch each other.""Does he make you cum?" Lulu asked bluntly."Yes,""So you're kind of fucking. Also you're running errands for him.""He just asked me to pick up stuff he's already paid for because I'm already here. That hardly means we're fucking.""I'm sorry why aren

The Billion Dollar Love Triangle Chapter 76: The End...of the Beginning
What was wrong with me? Why was I putting myself and the boys through this all over again? Things were kind of normal. I had a routine and Grayson and Lee were my friends and I just wrecked them by having sex with both of them in the span of fourteen hours. How stupid could I be? But also what was wrong with them? Making deals behind my back and deciding what I could and couldn’t do. They infuriated me! I was surprised later that night when there was a knock on my door. It was Lee and Grayson. “What do you want?” I asked. “We should all talk.” Grayson said. “Why? You two talk enough. You make deals and decisions without me. You don’t want to keep doing that?” “Scarlett, come on.” Lee groaned. “Just let us in.” I clicked my tongue, but let them in. They sat on the couch and I took the armchair. “What do you want?” I asked. “To talk about how you both fucked me and then told me it was a m

“Grayson, I’m sorry.” I groaned, sliding off of the island. “I didn’t even think of that!”“You seriously haven’t thought about it? At all?” He demanded, sitting up.“A little, I guess. But I thought I was supposed to be focusing on my sobriety!”“Of course that’s important, but I would think things would be clearer than ever right now. That you would know what you want now.”“I never know what I want, Gray.” I knelt next to him. “I’m honestly shocked you guys even still want to be with me.”Grayson went back to fixing the sink. “How many times do we have to tell you how much we love you?”“I thought you moved on! You had girlfriends!”“I went on a date, geez, Scarlett! I thought about you every single second of the day! I missed you like crazy. And now I’ve been doing everyt
The Billion Dollar Love Triangle Chapter 74: Amends
One month of sobriety.It’s been an interesting time. I decided to get a plant like they suggested we did. I named him Herman.Herman has been doing incredibly well so far. He’s stunning and gets a lot of light from the window sill.Getting back into work was shockingly easy. Rex Adams was wonderfully supportive and all my coworkers were nice. It felt so good to be back in business again.My friends were so proud of me. They saw the lifestyle change I’d made and commended me for my hard work. It felt good that someone was proud of me again. Rudy was doing some traveling and was trying to figure out what he wanted to do with his life. He said being a drug dealer no longer made him happy.I saw Grayson and Lee the most. We’re friends for now. Being in a relationship could really mess up my sobriety so we’re taking this slow and learning how to live with the new me.I’d been attending NA mee
The Billion Dollar Love Triangle Chapter 73: Rehab
A week later, I was released from the hospital. I was meant to go straight to the facility. It was the middle of the day on Wednesday, so only Grayson, Lee and Rudy could be there for me. It was almost symbolic. The three catalysts for my relapse were helping me get help. Grayson was right. The facility was insanely nice. My last one was a bit more off the grid to keep anyone from finding out. This didn’t seem like a place that people went to get better. It looked more like vacation. “This looks like a rehabilitation center for a doll,” I stated. “It’s really nice, Scar.” Grayson replied. “So am I rehab barbie?” Rude chuckled slightly. “Is now the time for jokes, Letty?” “There’s always time for jokes,” I shrugged. We parked and the boys grabbed my bags. A part of me wanted to run. I knew this was my choice, but I still wasn’t thrilled about going back. I was still on me
The Billion Dollar Love Triangle Chapter 72: Overdose
Grayson’s POVSometimes there are moments in life when time slows down completely. Like someone hit the slow-mo button and you’re forced to watch either some of the best or worst moments slowly unfold and you’re unable to do anything about it.I’ve had a few moments like that. When I first met Scarlett, when I found her overdosed on the bathroom floor, when I first kissed her, the night she told me she loved me, finding out about her and Lee, when the car crashed. And then there was tonight.Rudy said that Scarlett was in trouble and to call an ambulance. I swear we were all moving quickly to get to that park, but it all felt like it was happening at snail speed.When we arrived at the park, I could see Scarlett. She was lying so still on the jungle gym. Once again it felt like it took forever to reach her.Tears filled my eyes when I saw her. She wasn’t breathing.I forced myself to start CPR
The Billion Dollar Love Triangle Chapter 71: Unrecognizable
Lee’s POVThis was horrifying.Scarlett’s behavior was unlike anything I’d ever seen. The Wrenfords had been right about how she was in this state. I could tell she was breaking Grayson’s heart with her words, but he still stood there and took it.He really loved her.I stepped forward. “Scarlett, babe please. It’s me. Will you just talk to us?”“I’m done talking, Lee? Aren’t you? All we do is talk! About our daddy issues and insecurities, I don’t want to talk anymore. Especially not to you. You ruined everything!”“What?”“I was happy before you. I had a plan and you eviscerated it within months! You tricked me into falling in love with you!”“Tricked? I didn’t make you fall in love with me, I told you not to!” I reminded her.“Right because your family is always telling you you’re nothing.
The Billion Dollar Love Triangle Chapter 70: Words Hurt
Lee’s POVI was pretty fucked up after Scarlett didn’t choose me. However, I was relieved that she didn’t really choose anyone. I thought for sure she would go with Grayson. He was the obvious choice.Older, more intelligent and sophisticated, they had a history.I was actually kind of proud that she chose herself and wanted to truly figure out who she was. I was hoping that meant she would come back to me.I hated how weak and lonely I was without her. My bed was lonely and after all that time without sex, I was craving it badly.Enter Rebecca Walsh.She was stunning, sexy, and liked to have fun. I knew I wouldn’t be serious about her, but I needed to at least feel satisfied.It worked, but only up to a point. I could get off and feel sexually fulfiled for a few moments and then the emptiness set in.Now that I had made love, just fucking felt so useless. It didn’t give me

“Lee?” I asked.“Um...hey there, Scar.” Lee smiled slightly. “You look...great.”“Thank you! You do too! I mean you always look great. You’re Lee Windsor, that’s kind of your thing. Looking hot. You’re just hot.”“Uh...thanks babe. I mean Scarlett.”“Babe,” I giggled. “Isn’t that such a strange word like doesn’t it mean baby, which is like an infant, but also another pet name who comes up with this shit?”“Can we talk? Alone?” Lee questioned.“Sure,” I turned to Rudy. “I’ll be right back babe.” I kissed him before following Lee.“So...that’s your new boyfriend?” Lee whispered.“Yeah, I guess. It’s not serious...but like it is pretty serious. He drives me to work a-and home. And he met everyone for the first time tonight, which made m
The Billion Dollar Love Triangle Chapter 68: Mixing Worlds
It had been two months since I broke my sobriety.I loved life.I had something of a routine. I would do a few lines when I woke up, Rudy would drive me to work, I’d snort for lunch, and when I got off there was Rudy to take me to whatever wild party was happening. We would get high, have sex and party all night until we passed out. Then we woke up and did it all over again.I of course made time for my friends so they didn’t suspect that anything was wrong with me. My limited communication with Grayson and Lee continued. Both had tried to explain the girls, but I didn’t want to hear it.I had moved on.On quieter nights, Rudy and I got high alone and watched stupid movies and fucked on my couch. Our relationship was both severely codependent and low maintenance.We simply wanted what we needed from each other.It sounded complicated but was wonderfully simple.“Hey wh
