Keeping Her (The Lexington Series Book 2) Read Free Page B

I pushed my way through the crowd to get
there the girl was gone. I blew out a breath in frustration. I made it back to my
spot and there were a bunch of girls over there now. I saw a girl saunter up to
Nick and shook my head. She didn’t have a snowballs chance. His headshake
proved me right. The girl pouted and retreated while I made my way to Nick’s
side and started up a conversation with him. There was a tap on my shoulder and
I turned.
    “You’re Landon right?” she asked.
    I stared at her, she was Lucy’s
roommate. Had she sent her to me? “Yes.”
    “Oh, I heard a lot about you. I’m
Naiyla by the way so you’re like the next big thing in football supposedly is
that right?” she asked.
    I frowned. I knew a come-on when I
heard one and this was definitely it. It dawned on me then that she came on her
own. Did Lucy know and was ok with this? That instantly pissed me off. “Depends
who you ask, what’s it to you?” I asked her and gave her a cocky smile.
    She smiled back and gave me a
flirtatious look. “I’m just curious. But I’m more curious on other… things.”
She said.
    My eyebrows rose, “Like?” I prodded.
    She shrugged, “Dinner… a movie
maybe?” she asked.
    Nick coughed and I looked down. He
was staring in his cup but was wearing a scowl. His cup was half full so I
could only assume he was reacting to this conversation. I don’t even think he
knows this is Lucy’s roommate. “You’re asking me out?” I asked her.
    She shrugged and then nodded. “What
the hell. Sure why not. You want to go out with me? Say… Saturday?” she asked.
    I’ve got to give it to her the girl
had balls. “Sure, when you picking me up?” I asked.
    She laughed and threw her hands on
her hips, “well I’ll take you out but I still expect a gentleman. You can still
pick me up and provide the ride.”
    I skimmed her body up and down. She
was good looking, really good looking. But she didn’t do anything for me. Back
in the day a hot chick like this and knowing I could get her in my room would
make my cock twitch. Right now he’s fucking sleeping I don’t even feel an ounce
of excitement. “Alright, I guess I can do that much. Give me your phone and
I’ll put in my number. You text me when and where and I’ll be there how’s
that?” I offered.
    She nodded and I took her phone to
put in my number. When she asked for mine to swap I clammed up. Normally it
wouldn’t bother me, but I knew that she’d see Lucy as my screensaver. I’m not
sure what Lucy told her but I’ll play this fucking game of hers shame on her if
I end up getting laid out of this. Naiyla walked away with a smile. Nick
cleared his throat and I looked at him. His eyebrows were at his hairline.
    “What?” I asked him.
    “Really?” was all he said and I knew
everything he meant in that word.
    I shrugged, “she told her roommate I
was fair game so fuck this.”
    His mouth dropped open, “that was her
roommate?” he asked.
    I nodded, “and I saw Lucy here. So
what the fuck is the reason to hold back now?” I asked. He shook his head and
sighed but he didn’t respond.
    We were approached by quite a few
more girls that night but I was too pissed to care. All I wanted to do was
drink. She was really over us how fucking dare she! She’s lucky, so fucking
lucky that I’m trying here. This is not in my nature to hold back and I’m about
ready to fucking strangle her ass at this party in front of everyone. She
fucking gets pregnant with my kid. All of the shit we went through and
she could pass me off to her fucking roommate? Fucking bitch.
    It was about an hour later and I was
drunk when I saw her. This time I knew it was her. She was dancing with
Naiyla and she was facing to the side but I could still see her face clearly.
My hands clenched and the liquor in my cup spilled out from me crushing the
cup. I dropped it and started to move forward when a hand grabbed me. I swung
around to find Nick.
    He shook his head, “Dude. No.
