Free Love Resisted (Entwined Hearts #2) by Maria Macdonald Page B

focused on Soph though. Shit, I thought her tits were going to pop out of the top of the dress. I’ve never loved and hated an item of clothing before, but hell that girl could make me feel things I never thought possible. The song started playing and I glanced around the hall, everyone as usual was fixed on the girls. They always drew people in.
    Some of the skanks got catty as fuck, and some of the lads needed a good beating the way they stared at them. Today was different though. As soon as they started singing I knew why. They’d been practicing a song for weeks, but this time they had copied the dance and the outfits from the music video. Usually, they just made up their own shit. But this one they’d been talking about for ages.
    I’d had to endure Rosie and Una hanging around us as they made up the four-piece that apparently the girls just couldn’t manage without. Fuck, but those girls were annoying. All flirty and falling over themselves to be near Con and me. They reminded me of Stacey and Ellie, and the only reason I put up with those two bitches was to keep Soph away. ‘Cause, fuck me if I let that girl in I ain’t ever getting her out. Having paid not too much attention to the song they’d picked, I never did, all I knew was it was slow. I thought this was a good thing as there was less chance of Soph getting all sexy with her damn dancing. I seriously needed to stop thinking about Soph like that.
    I thought this song wasn’t one I had to worry about, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. The fucking moves the girls were making were sexy as fuck. I looked over at Con, but he was completely mesmerised by Pea. It was a look I’d seen on his face all the time when it came to her. He was a fucking pussy. His jaw was twitching too and I knew how he felt. Stealing another glance at Soph, my eyes were burning into her with the need to run on stage and carry her off so no other fucker could look at her. It was almost overwhelming, and then she looked at me and smiled. My heart felt like it constricted in my chest. I was turning into a pussy too. I switched my attention back to Con and noticed he was looking at Liam, who just happened, right at that moment, to be commenting on Pea’s arse. The cock that he was talking to, Jason, replied by saying that he’d like to have Soph’s tits in his hand. I’m not sure who got out of the chair first, but my brain had just enough time to take in the little pricks eyes widening as Con and I lunged for them. We both got a week’s detention for that. Totally worth it.
     
    The song finishes and I catch myself before I start getting too deep into my thoughts and feelings. Time to cut myself off. Shit. Wiping my hand down my face and feeling the need to get out of here, I stand up with a slight wobble and make my way outside. The cold air hits me like a slap in the face.
    Fuck, I must’ve been in there a while as it’s dark out here.
    I spot a taxi and flag it down. Thankfully it stops and I stumble inside.
    “You’re not going to be sick in here are you mate?” he asks.
    “Nah, just a long fucking day,” I reply and he nods. Telling him where to go he pulls away.
    This shit is getting worse. I was fine before the accident. Then again everyone was. We were all just coping in our own little bubbles. Pretending like everything wasn’t going to shit around us.
    Then the accident happened.
    It’s fucking stupid. I was considering talking to Soph before the accident. Maybe considering taking a chance on us. That’s why I went to Katy’s house that morning. To tell her, we were over. It wasn’t like I owed her anything. We’d only been together for a couple of months. If you could call it together . More like fucking.
    Then she had hit me with the bombshell that she thought she was pregnant. I’d instantly turned cold all over. That right there was packed away somewhere in the back of my brain ready to use when I needed to get rid of a boner in future.
    Shit.
