“Still dating in my book.”

We reached my apartment. I unlocked the door and slipped inside before him. He followed close behind, looking around and whistling.

“Not as shabby as I thought.”

“Glad you approve,” I said sarcastically, not sure if he got it or not.

“Not really, but it’s okay for you, I guess.”

I shook my head and walked across the living room. At the couch, I sat down and opened the lid of my laptop. He wandered over and sat down next to me, a little too close for comfort.

When I scooted over, he did the same. I turned, ready to yell at him. Before I had a chance, he leaned forward and kissed me on the lips, roughly sticking his tongue in my mouth.

“Ew,” I said, pulling back and showing him my disgusted face.

“Ew? Really?”

“What the hell are you thinking?” I asked.

“I thought you and Laura were down to share me. That’s why you introduced me to her, right? I fuck her. Then I fuck you. Then we three get together.”

“What? No!” I stood up and pointed to the door. “You need to go.”

“You know what? I don’t need this shit from you.”

He got to his feet, towering over me.

“You’re fucking nuts,” he said.

“Get the fuck out of my apartment before I call the cops!”

“Whoa, hold on.” He raised his arms in the air. “Calm down. No need to get them involved.”

I glared at him, shaking because I realized how easy it would be for him to overpower me.

“Fuck you, bitch,” he said over his shoulder as he walked out.

Ugh! What an asshole. Laura better not be thinking about going out with him again. I need to call her.

“You can forget your story,” I called out, hoping to hurt him.

He stopped and turned around.

“Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

“Cooper was right about you.”

“What did Cooper say about me?” I asked, instantly regretting letting the words come out of my mouth.

“Wouldn’t you like to know.”

He turned and walked out of my apartment, slamming the door behind him.

I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and called Laura. She answered on the third ring.

“What the hell?” I screamed.
