✿ Aileen's POV
“When did this happen?”
“At the gala.”
“And he told you... not to kiss him again?”
“When I only did it to stop him from getting into a fight.”
Because my touch did something to him.
“Right, right.”
I give Tracy a look.
“Is that why you're so upset? You have that second-grade frowny face and everything” Her lips curl into a smirk.
I annoyingly blow the loose strand of hair from my face.
“I am not upset.”
“Really? When was the last time you spoke to him then?”
“Why would you ask that, Tray? We live in the same house.”
She hums.
“Yes. True, Lee. But are you saying you haven't been doing everything in your power to avoid speaking or seeing him?”
I avert my eyes from the laptop screen.
“I don't know what you're talking about.”
“Fine. I'll elaborate.”
Oh God.
“You're saying you haven't been leaving him his portion of dinner? You haven't been making sure he's not home when you're home... like right now? And you haven't been going to bed early and waking up late so you don't have to talk to him or thirst after his gorgeous body and then be tempted to kiss him?”
“What? No” I huff.
“Leave the lying to me, Lee. Because you suck at it.”
I groan.
“Okay, okay, enough Tray. The bottom line is, I don't wanna do this hot and cold thing anymore. It's draining and I can't take it.”
My cousin hums.
“Okay. You want my advice?”
I could use good advice.
“Iron out your differences through some hot mind-blowing sex” she winks at me.
I take it back.
“Don't go getting any ideas Tray. And I'm not doing mind-blowing sex” I tell her. “ I mean yes he's hot but his personality is enough of a turn-off to make up for it.”
“Oh, so you think he's hot?”
I'm not blind.
I shake my head and ignore her.
“Look, it's bad enough we have to live together and literally do everything together, Tray. I don't want to come to you and talk about him too.”
“Oh you don't have to talk at all, my darling. Speak with your body” Tracy wiggles her shoulders and pukers up her lips.
“Alright, I'm out.”
“Hey, hey, hey I was just teasing” she laughs.
I make a face.
“But on a more serious note, Lee, you need to chill.”
I need to chill?
“Look, I know guys like your man, okay? Not in wealth, but in kind. And if I have to tell you the truth, sweetheart, he didn't mean what he said to you.”
