"Co on, we are here, you will be happy and you will not think about the man next door because he is not here, and you will enjoy yourself."
"Did you know he liked ?" I whispered as he stood by his door.
"Everyone can see it." Natalie smiled when the door opened and I placed a fake smile on my face as we walked in.
I ca ho to find Natalie getting ready and yelling to ask where I had been, then she inford about the lunch we are having with Sebastine in his ho, we had this scheduled a week ago, and now it felt wrong being here in his ho.
As we walked further in, the place reminded a lot of Luca, and his mansion, and I always wondered why soone like Sebastine, so wealthy would own a stupid apartnt complex, and never thought of giving it basic renovations like maybe fixing the laundry room.
"Smile," Natalie said again and I did. I wish I were not here but I had to, I can’t let her do this alone.
As we walked further in, we found him sitting on his couch and he turned to look at us, especially when he smiled at .
"Olivia didn’t spend the night at the house, what ti did you finish your dinner?" Natalie asked and his eyes widened.
"You didn’t," Sebastian said, his voice was strained and his eyes filled with an unfamiliar emotion and I didn’t speak.
He can’t tell what to do and not to do yet I found myself not saying a single word, I stared at him and I looked away.
"Can we focus on sothing else and not what I did last night?" I whispered
"Did you sleep with Luca?" Natalie asked, if I did, I would not be here, my parts would not feel the sa and I would still be sleeping as it is.
"I didn’t, we didn’t do anything you think we did, we just had a conversation because we are long overdue for one and I needed him to know a few things that’s it." I breathed out, as I felt a wave of annoyance wash over .
I glanced at Sebastian, who wanted to speak yet he didn’t, he kept all of his words to himself, as we watched a movie, the whole ti only person I could think of was Luca, how he must be feeling, I know he is asleep and would not be awake until later today.
He has exhausted himself, I wondered if he had sothing to eat when he woke up, I wondered if he would co looking for and the neighbors would tell him we had left the house.
I found myself leaving during the movie and going into the kitchen to have more snacks.
"You promised." I heard a voice from behind.
"I didn’t." I breathed out, without looking up, I didn’t want to talk about Luca especially with Sebastine who is starting to make things a bit more weird than I want them to be and it’s starting to get to .
"Can we not please?"
"You don’t see what he is doing but I can see what he is trying to do to you, he wants to hurt you now he is saddened by the fact that you have moved on with your life and all he wants to do is make you feel pain, make you suffer for leaving him and just when you fall for him again, he would hurt you again, because he knows by the ti he is done with you, there is no one out there to help you." He explained.
"I know what I am doing." I breathed out. "Can you trust that? I understand you care for both you and Natalie but neither of you knows him like I do and I know that he would never ever hurt again." I added, I hate to explain myself to him.
"I didn’t an to make you upset, of course I trust you, you are the smart one between you and her and you are responsible and I know you are smart, you would never do anything to jeopardize us." He said stressing the word us.
Who are we?
When did we start?
I didn’t dare ask because I didn’t want to deepen the conversation as it is, I didn’t even want to be here anymore.
The mont I smiled at him, I walked away and I settled beside her, a wave of annoyance washed over when I rested my head on the couch.
I felt a phone vibrate and I reached for it before she did, she always had a habit of staring into my phone and no one texted except for the people I worked for.
"What’s wrong?" She asked. "Do you have work tomorrow.?"
"Yes." I lied and she smiled, it was Luca. He wants to know where I am and he wants to know now.
I quickly texted back because I didn’t need him finding when I got a reply from him again.
"Do I have to kill him to have him stay away from you?" The ssage read
"I don’t belong to you nor do I belong to him too Luca." I texted back. I could see his reaction from this and his reply is exactly what I imagined it would be, deep down he is still the sa old Luca.
——
"Finally." I breathed out after spending three hours in his ho, Natalie fell asleep when we started watching the second movie and Sebastian did all he could to make sit beside him but I didn’t want to,
Whatever chance he is looking for, he has a better shot with Natalie than , I didn’t co into this town to be with anyone, I ca to find myself, I ca to find happiness, and to be away from toxic environnts.
"Maybe we should wake her up," I suggested
"We don’t have to, you guys can sleep over and it’s raining." He suggested and I shook my head, I would go under the thunder and lightning, if it ant I would leave this place.
I wasted no ti in rushing toward her and she groaned as I woke her up, I already booked our ride, no matter what he says or she says I am not staying here.
"We have to leave I have work to do and my laptop is at ho, maybe another ti, we will see you soon." I smiled.
"We will see him at the party." Natalie smiled as she adjusted her seating position, and a yawn escaped her lips as she stared at both of us,
What did she an?.
"You didn’t tell her did you, he has a party in a day and he invited us a long ti ago and he thinks you will not co but I told him we will, and now he is getting all worked up that you will be upset that you were not inford on ti," Natalie explained.
He just placed in a tight position.
"You are not going to let go alone right, because I will kill you if you do." She joked and I rolled my eyes at her, I don’t think I have a choice, I could not let her even if I wanted to.

By the ti we got ho, I found Luca standing by his door and I ignored him when I walked into my ho, he had been texting all day, who could have thought the Alpha would know how to text, I always doubted he would.
The day went by faster than I thought and to my surprise, Luca didn’t bother to try to et , did I feel bad, maybe I did. I didn’t know if I wanted his attention or not, but I have a feeling he is waiting for a perfect ti.
A breath falls out of my lips as I head out into the living room to my surprise to find Natalie with a dress, she held it up against her chest and she has a smile on her face.
"Look what Sebastine got." She smiled when my phone vibrated.
You are not wearing it, the ssage read.
Fuck
He could hear us from his house, this houses have no privacy, it’s a black dress, decorated with shiny stones and I didn’t let myself think it’s beautiful.
"You are definitely going to wear it." She smiled, as she held it up against my body, she wanted to, it looked good as she did hold it up but I didn’t want to try it on, Luca is listening in on us.
He knows what is happening and he could feel the way my heart is beating against my chest.
I glanced at her.
"Go wear it, I want to see how it looks, we have a whole day together to make sure it’s your size and perfect it." She smiled
I did as she asked but even I knew that I would not wear the dress he gave to .
"How about we fix this, I don’t like the way it’s open." I lied and she smiled.
"Maybe just a bit." She said and I gave her a nod, who would have thought she would agree to this.
This whole party is going to be dreadful.
