devin could hear lex sigh from the other end. the basketball player had spent the whole week calling and texting his friend for updates on luca. pride eating him alive like a devil on his shoulder because he refused to personally ask luca herself, "i am this close on blocking you, book." lex spoke over the phone, the annoyance laced and very evident. devin sighed, his head in between his thighs as he stared at the ground. he missed her but at the other side of his bed laid no other but kendall jenner.
kendall and devin had found themselves spending more and more time together while luca began pushing him away. at first devin, didn't seem to mind. kendall and him had a lot in common and figured that luca would reach out when she was ready to speak to him. he thought it was the right thing to do but as the weeks went by and devin checked and checked his phone for any updates regarding luca and he found none. he found comfort in kendall and though he didn't think much of it, slowly his days were consumed by her. her belongings slowly starting to invade his space. luca's belonging stashed away in a deep part of his closet- hiding her away.
luca never reached out and much to devin's dismay she found herself slowly pushing him away. out of herlife. it seemed like the right thing to do. after the incident, she questioned her life. the way she moved and the people that surrounded herself with. she had a lot to focus on and buried herself in school work and applying for internships. luca studied marketing with a minor in business fashion and would be staring a life outside of college soon and a life without sophia who planned the arrival a of son as she was also graduating that spring. she simply could not focus on what devin did or did not do or if he was part of her life or not- life kept moving without or without him.
"just tell me that she's okay." his voice barely above a whisper as he turned to look at the models sleeping body. the way he thought of luca while with other women felt criminal to him. it was so embarrassing how the twenty-one year old consumed his thoughts and he felt so powerless. he had gone back and forth cursing her and , making the impact that she had on him so insignificant but he couldn't. luca never left.
"you go ask her." lex hissed, "i am not helping you anymore, plus aren't you seeing someone?" she asked, "it's all over the news and social media."
devin sighed. it felt like that's all he did lately, "it's not like that, lex." he began, "it's complicated."
"what's so complicated about a grown twenty-four year with commitment issues?" when lex went lower, she always took it straight to hell, "you're worried about the wrong woman here. if you are so worried about luca, call her. you have her number. you have her address. grow a pair." lex trailed off, "i love you devin, but you can't keep playing with your heart or someone else's for the matter. especially when the other woman is posting celebrating a one year anniversary with you? you have been fucking luca for over 6 months now. the timeline isn't adding up man. i gotta go and for the love of god, stop calling me in regards to luca." she finished off not allowing him to get a last word in.
devin looked at his phone, leaving his room before dialing luca's number. it went straight to voicemail. looking at the time again, it was early and he wondered if she was asleep. he opted to open her contact information, rereading old messages and zooming in and out or pictures of him and luca. devin hated her. not hate in the sense of hating someone but hated how she made him feel. he always credited himself for someone who knew how to run it in and out of the court but he met luca and he met his match. sex aside, devin hated how she made him feel. the way her fingers crawled up and down his chest. her eyes always taunting him and drowning him in her pools of honey. her lips, the way they meshed against him. her laughter wrapping him in a warm blanket and her smile made his inside churn and leap. the temple between her hips seemed to have been made just for him. the way his body meshed against her was perfect. devin did not and would never admit that he was in love with luca.
