Free Falling Into You (Geek to Chic) by Nikki Brinks Page B

“You two need
to kill each other or fuck and get it over with! Either way, keep it down and
let the poor woman sleep.” The others scattered around the room laughed quietly
and nodded their agreement.  
    "I'm
never letting him get anywhere near me with that STD infected micro dick!"
With that Izzy pushed past a shocked Alex towards the kitchen.   The guys fell into a heap of laughter onto
the floor at her comment.   Gracey
followed Izzy into the kitchen laughing hard.
    Derek
turned to Alex, feeling as though he was speaking to a child.   "Why must you annoy her?   At some point she will kill you and to stay
on Roni's good gracious, I will help them bury the body."   Derek declared.
    "She
makes it so easy. Plus, she is sexy as hell when she has that death look
going." Alex shrugged with a shit eating grin on his face.
    "Ok
your funeral dude." Derek said looking at his friend like he was a man
with a death wish. To Derek it seemed the two of them had something between
them.   "Come on, let's get out of
here before we wake Roni or Izzy comes running out the kitchen with a butcher
knife to finally end you." Derek started heading for the front door all
the guys following suit. Yelling goodbye to Izzy and Gracey, who were both
still in the kitchen. He heard a murmured reply from the girls.  
    The
guys stood in the driveway for a few minutes trying to figure out if it was too
early to call it a night or if they should go hang out somewhere.  
    "Come
on, let’s grab a drink. I have some real business questions to ask these guys
anyway." Alex declared. “And since I was the waitress, buyer and DD last
time I am thinking I have earned a free drink or two.”  
    “How
about we just head to my house.   I have a
fully stocked bar and we can continue to kick Alex’s ass on my 80 inch flat
screen. We’ll even let him choose the game.”   Collin laughed.
    “Very
funny asshole! I was going easy for the girl’s sake.   I’ll kick your ass at any game.”   Alex basically whined like a third grader
being teased by his older brother.  
    Derek
and the rest of the guys laughed as they got into their cars to head to
Collins.  
    Derek
looked out the window one last time toward Roni’s house. He wished he was
staying with her.   He wanted to take care
of her, but their relationship (if you could call it that) was very new.   He didn’t want to smother her.   Even though every protective instinct inside
of him was screaming to stay to be sure she was really ok.  
    Laughter came
from the driver’s seat.   Actually, it was
hysterical laughter.   Derek turned to
glare at Alex. “And what is so funny fuctard?”
    “You asshat!
Wow, I never thought I would see the day when you fell in love .” Alex did the last word in a sing song voice.   “You the man who believes all women are only
after his money.”   Derek didn’t
reply.   Alex was right.   He didn’t believe in love, only greed.   Women wanted nothing to do with him until he
had made his first million.   “I know you
always like to hear my opinion on the women in your life, so here it is.   I like her.   Sure, she might end up killing both of you in some freak accident
involving a cheese grater or plastic forks, but she never sees your money.   Only that ugly face of yours. “  
    “Well, now
that I have your blessing I feel so much better.”   Derek chided.  
    “Seriously D,
she’s not after anything.   She’s not that
sorority bitch from college.   Keep that
in mind, when you decide to choose work over her or get scared and do something
obnoxious to drive her away.”
    Derek’s anger
had kicked up a notch with Alex’s perceptive statement. “Now that we’ve saved my
love life, let’s talk about yours.   What
the fuck is up with Izzy and you? I know how you operate with women.   You like the easy ones.   The ones that have nothing to offer besides a
set of double Ds.   Izzy is a tiny little
sprite of a girl. Nothing like the
