Star World

Scarlet's POV

Ever since the whole shit show with Preston, I had been a little on edge. Even though I always had a bad feeling about him, deep down, I think I hoped it wouldn't be true because I could see how Violet felt about him, and I didn't want her heart to be broken.

But boy, did he show his true colors today; I mean, what an asshole. I'm glad Violet saw the real him early into their relationship rather than in months or even years. I can't believe he was spying on Star World; it is a little scary because the question still stands: why? Seriously, what reason did Pete have to collect information on us and our club? We still need to find that out.

Preston did seem to really care about her, though, which was interesting to me. He was relentless, yelling, and begging for Vi to forgive him. I almost felt bad for the guy, but then I remembered what got him into this situation.

Anderson and Preston did hate each other; that was proven today. From what I've heard about Preston, it seemed like he and Anderson would get along great together if they talked.

Something had to have happened between the two of them to make them despise each other the way they do. The look in Anderson's eyes when he saw Preston was one of disgust and pure resentment.

I'll admit, Anderson looked very hot when he was all angry and murderous. Sometimes I still don't understand why a guy like Anderson could like me.

"Are you okay Scar, I know that was a lot," Anderson asked, grabbing my hand and looking deep into my eyes. That was one thing I really liked about him, how he always looked at me when he spoke or when I spoke, giving his full attention to me. My last boyfriend never really cared about what I had to say, always brushing me off. So, to say the least, it was a nice change.

"Yea, I'm fine. It's Violet I'm worried about; I can't even imagine what she's thinking right now; I would be heartbroken if I were her," I sighed, leaning onto Anderson's shoulder.

"At least that fuck-head Preston finally showed his true self," he replied, an angry look taking over his face, "I'm sorry if I scared you at all; he just brings out the worst in me."

"You didn't scare me," I said, cupping his face with my hands bringing him in for a quick kiss, and I felt his arms wrap around my waist, pulling me closer, "If anything, it was hot seeing you get all angry."

Anderson raised his eyebrow at me, now smirking, "Oh really?" I leaned forward to kiss him again, hoping that would give my answer. He responded quickly, pulling me into his lap and gripping onto my waist tighter. I love how he makes me feel like a giddy teen again; every time we kiss feels just as special as the first.

"Okay, you two, have some explaining to do," a strong voice said behind us. I jumped off of Anderson and turned to Violet, giving her a grimace, "How are you doing?" I asked.

Violet ran a tired hand over her face; I noticed her bottom lip quiver, but she took a deep breath before any more tears could fall, "I'm not sure, I don't really want to talk about it right now. I want to talk about you two." She walked over to the couch and sat next to me, folding her hands in her lap.

I hoped she wouldn't be mad I kept mine and Anderson's relationship a secret. I never wanted to lie to Violet, but I knew it would cause issues between us, considering her opinions on Anderson.

"Well, after the night when he came into Star World, and we sat at the bar talking for a while, I kinda realized I wanted to see him again. Then I was out on my morning run, and Anderson was stalking me-"

"-I was not stalking her," Anderson said, interrupting me, "I was on MY morning run doing the same path I've been doing for years, and then I saw Scarlet. So, I went to talk to her, then we went and got coffee, and I asked her out for a dinner date."
