Just so you guys know, if I make any grammar or spelling mistakes, please tell me if you leave a comment. I won't get mad like others, because it'll actually help me when I go back and edit my chapters to be perfect. 😁 I type on a phone, so of course everything might not come out as planned.
(Luca POV)
She's asking for a punishment with the shit she's wearing. What happened to all her saggy clothes? Now she wants guys eye fucking her? I swear to God if Alex put her up to this, one of them is going to get choked.
"Chill, bro." Nate says from beside me.
I snap my head towards him. I want to say, 'Don't tell me to calm down', but I can't let him know I care. "Chill? What do you mean, 'chill'? What am I doing?"
He looks at me with a smirk and starts laughing. "Dude, you just made it even more obvious. You like her. Don't you?"
I quickly look back to where they were standing, but don't see them there anymore. Good. "No. I don't. And keep your voice down. We don't need any drama or rumors just because you make assumptions."
"Assumptions." He repeats, then chuckles.
"Don't annoy me. You may be my friend, but I'll kick you out of this damn place."
"Dude, just be honest with her."
"There's nothing to be honest about. She works for me, and nothing more. What do you want me to say?"
"Luca, stop being so stubborn for once in your life and just admit it. I can see it."
"You can't see anything. Nothing is there. There's nothing between us, and there never will be." I snap. "Some things don't turn out the way people want. It's not a fucking fairytale and she's not someone I'll ever invest feelings into. She's not ready." I look at the floor. "And I'll never be able to get tied down to someone that'll be taken away from me at some point. It's not worth it."
Nobody understands the struggle of this world. I hate when my other men talk about Rain, or look at her in flirtatious ways, but deep down, I know I could never be enough for her. Why would I date a girl that I could develop feelings for, just so other people can go after her as my weakness? If I never show emotions towards her, other people won't ever hurt her, and it won't ever hurt me.
I know it seems stupid. I just met this girl, but I know I wanted her. Then again, I don't know if I wanted her or her body. I don't trust myself. I can't hurt her like that. She needs someone that could give her the world, and one day I'll have to let her leave this place. And go into another man's arms. One that can guarantee her safety. That's why I can't get attached. Can't get close.
Just a maid. Just another girl. Just another worker. Nothing more.
