Chapter 4

Lea

I am such an asshole for calling Liam. I don't even know why he lets this slut come to his house when he promised me, he wouldn't fuck there. He did not even have the decency to tell me he was busy it's like he was doing it on purpose so I would know he was fucking. I don't know what he sees in this bitch. Maybe he loves after all the little sluts that are all done up.

He has to ruin it every time. I just wanted to talk because I feel all alone, and I have no one to talk to but hey I should have listened to my head and known it was a bad idea. I am so mad at him for daring to flirt with me when he has another girl naked between his legs. Anyway, I am not going to dwell on his booty calls, not anymore. I ordered a pizza; I will put a movie on Netflix. There is nothing like pizza in front of a good movie to cheer you up.

My phone vibrates and I see that Tom has sent me a message.

- "Hi Lea, sorry to bother you at this hour, I would like to know if you would be available to meet tomorrow to start the first practical work?"

It is nice to know that he is not one of those people who wait until the last minute to do what they have to do. I answer him.

- "Good evening Tom. No worries, I am not doing anything right now. Yes, I will be available tomorrow, I have one class in the morning. What time would be most convenient for you?"

I get another message a few minutes later.

- "I have a training session that ends at 6pm so it would great if we could meet at 7pm"

- "Yes, that would be fine. Tomorrow at 7pm at the library"

- "yes, that is perfect", he replies immediately

- "Great! See you tomorrow then. Have a nice evening!"

- "Good night!" he answers me

My pizza arrives and I put on a movie that is really bad. I end up changing it and put on cable girls instead. It is so good that I end up forgetting the time.

My alarm goes off, I just want to cry. I didn't sleep much because I was so hooked that I couldn't stop. I fell asleep at 2am. I just slept 5 hours; it's going to be a long day.

I quickly get ready and head to my morning class. I get a message from Liam on the road.

- Good morning, princess. I hope you are doing well. Have a great day!

He expects me to reply but I do not have the heart to do it right now especially thinking about what he was doing yesterday. So, I ignore him.

My geopolitics class ends. I have a splitting headache and nausea and I didn't understand anything the teacher said.

I decide to go home to get some sleep before meeting Tom at 7pm.

I come out of my subconscious when my phone rings I pick it up without even looking at who it is.

- "hello", I say

- "Hi Lea, it's Tom, I wanted to know if our meeting was still on?" he asks

I look at the time: 7:30 pm

- "oh my god I am so sorry I was taking a nap and I didn't have an alarm clock on"

- "it's okay. We can reschedule it for another time", he offers.

- "no, it is fine, I'll be there in 15 minutes", I say

I hurry and arrive at the library. Fortunately, there are not many people there and I spot him very quickly.

- "I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting", I apologize again

- "no problem", he smiles. "I have been catching up on some of the classes I've been taking".

- "Okay. I promise it won't happen again", I say. "Shall we start then?"

- "Yes", he says.

We finish two hours later. Tom is very good at economics, so I think we'll get the maximum mark.

- "Do you play football?" I ask, noting his jersey.

- "Yes, I am a receiver", he said with pride.

- "That's great", I say with a smile

- "you must come to my first game because you came late today", he said

- "I wouldn't have come late if I knew you were going to force me to come to a football game. And you told me it was okay", I said in defense.

- "I changed my mind", he said with a wide smile that showed his dimples.

- "I do not want the girls in your harem pulling my hair out".

He bursts out laughing.

- "Don't worry about that. I don't have a harem", he says.

- "so, your girlfriend will..."

- "I don't have a girlfriend", he cuts me off, still smiling. "And you, are you in a relationship?"

- "no", I say

I wonder if the girls at his old high school are blind. Tom is really cute, a gentleman. Probably they are little bitches who like bad boys.

- "so, there's nothing to stop you from coming", he says

- "Okay, I'll see, but I won't promise anything", I answer

The librarian comes to our table and tells us that she will close in 5 minutes. Oh my God, it is already 10 pm.

- "Would you like to get something to eat?" Ask Tom

- "It is nice of you to offer but I have to go home. Maybe next time", I answer.

- "Okay, he says. Have a great evening Lea!

- "likewise. Bye."

I head for home and look for my phone. It is Thursday, Liam called me for sure, I must find a good lie to justify why I didn't write him all day. I get home and see that I have 10 missed calls and texts from Liam and a voicemail that I am listening to:

- "Fucking Lea, where the hell are you? why aren't you fucking answering my calls. Fucking call me back".

He is really pissed off and I know I'm in trouble. Without respite my phone rings and it's him. Fingers trembling, I pick up.
