Sticks and Stones - A Stalker Romance

Chapter 11 Mahara

Finally after applying to jobs around town I'm home. Walking through the kitchen when Liz runs up to me hugging me.

"Oh my god girl! How was your time exploring Miami? I've missed you all day!" Liz laughs.

"Liz it's literally 11" laughing "but it was great I didn't see much, just wanted out the house so I wasn't here alone" Saying with a bit of guilt from lying to her.

"Well you could've came to Derek's with me! Jeremy wouldn't shut up about you."

"Really? You gave him my number and he hasn't even texted me." Sighing "it's okay though I don't even like him like that"

"What?! No way! I can't believe him." She gasp.

"It's okay. I'm kind of done with men for a while."I say laughing about wanting to be loyal to Larson though we're not even dating. What if he was off with other girls, my stomach twist into knots and heart sinks just thinking about it.

"Damn girl good for you! Also how was your lunch with Larson? Did that dickhead apologize?" Now thinking about it, he didn't apologize. He didn't even talk about the other night at all.

Walking to my room to unpack my bag Liz follows behind sitting on the bed.

"Um, yeah it was great he took me to some fancy Italian restaurant" blushing while I think of Larson. I sit my bag on the floor and hop on the bed next to Liz.

A tiny gasp escapes her lips and she playfully shoved my shoulder "you're blushing! It went well? I hope he wasn't too much of dick."

"Yeah it was actually pretty nice, and I still can't believe he bought me a phone." I say still blushing.

"Girl I see you blushing and please don't go there" she scolds "I've known that man a long time and he is not into monogamy. He's the biggest player I ever met in my life."

My stomach is twists not wanting to hear, but I need to know. I'm already kicking myself in the ass when I open my mouth.

"That bad huh? Any juicy details I should know?"
Fuck why did I have to ask?

"Worse than bad! He's always been a playboy, sleeping with a different girl every night, but the shit that went down with his ex were.. well let's just say it was a fucking mess" she's sighs. My throat fills with bile thinking of Larson with loads of women. I knew he was a play boy, but a different girl every night? What the hell? Maybe Larson is completely different than what I thought. I don't want to hear anymore, but I need to know what happened with that ex.

"What happened with his ex?"

Liz lays her back to the pillows crossing her legs "So I don't know a lot, only the things I've heard from Harrison, but apparently Larson and Jessica started dating after she began working at one of his clubs. They dated for like two months, seeming like a good couple. Larson would take her out everywhere. He'd buy all kinds of expensive things like jewelry, designer clothes, the whole nine yards! He would never spend any time her though, always out at parties or the clubs. Ugh! I can't remember what happened exactly, i guess she went to his house and found him having sex with a stripper or something like that. She broke up with him, but still stalks him! He just got a restraining order on her."

Everything in my world just stops. My stomach is completely knotted up thinking about Larson cheating on his girlfriend with a stripper. We just talked about how his dad cheated on his mom and Larson seemed so angry with him then does the same shit? I really wanted to like him, but I knew he seemed to good to be true. My face heats with anger. The bed that I slept in is where he fucked a stripper behind his girlfriend's back! I'm completely disgusted with him.
