“Alice, for fuck’s sake.” Summer snapped as she turned to my wardrobe.
“What does he like to see you in?”
“He said I look insane in anything.” I remembered sadly as Summer shifted through my clothes.
“Let’s get you ready. You need to go and see him, Alice.”
“What if he says no? What if-”
“Then you’ve tried. You take it gracefully and learn to accept it. It’s shit, but all actions have consequences.”
My heart swelled with love for my sister as she studied the clothes, pulling them out hanger after hanger to see what she preferred.
“If he says no, I’m moving abroad,” I declared as she shot me a look.
“Fine. But you have to tell him how you feel. We can drive you.”
“We?”
“Me and Gabe.” Summer winked at me as I groaned.
“Great. Will you wait in case he throws me out?” I asked nervously, suddenly terrified.
“Yeah, of course. But let me tell you this, gangster, or not, if he throws you out, I’ll kick his ass.”

LUCAS
Fuck.
I pushed the girl from me, annoyed that Alice had heard her whining fucking yap.
"Number one, you were just a fuck. Number two, don't speak unless you're spoken to. Number three, get out of my bedroom. Richie will show you to your accommodation," I barked, as her eyes narrowed with annoyance.
"Excuse me? My name is Iliyana, and you weren't saying that last night—”
She was feisty and incredibly sexy. However, she was business, and you shouldn't ever sample the goods unless necessary.
Which it wasn't.
"Okay, Iliyana, get out," I muttered, throwing my boxers on as I ripped open my bedroom door, leaving her standing there naked.
"Richie, sort Iliyana out. She's a good fuck, but she needs to learn to watch her mouth."
"Sure thing, boss."
I opened the fridge, seeing it bare and lonely. What the fuck was my life? I needed to go shopping.
I chuckled at the thought as I turned the tap on, filling a glass to the brim with water. I was beyond irritated.
I'd been just fine without her. I'd managed to function, get back to business without thoughts of her corrupting my mind. Then she'd drunk called me. Her voice... still managed to kill me.
I went straight to her; not a doubt in my mind that I would. When I saw her with that fucking piece of shit last night, I almost ripped his spine out through his mouth. My jealousy knew no bounds, and I was reminded exactly how much I still wanted her.
Then she apologized. Alice fucking Fallon had apologized.
Her sweet mouth had trembled when she spoke, begging me to just listen to her.
