Chapter 169: Show Respect
Chapter 169: Show Respect
“Good job. Why don’t you sign up for WWE in place of being a model? I see a bright future ahead of you,” Lily said in a scathing voice. “Did you get a good grilling from the police?”
“Male officers,” Angelina said, as if that was an explanation. “They stared at me for a while and then stared at my boobs some more. It wasn’t much of a problem.” Stephen shook his head from the side.
“She didn’t say much because she was exercising her right to stay silent. And no, even though her perfect tits are enough to make any grown man beg at her feet.”
“Your flattery won’t get you anywhere,” Angelina hissed. Katherine looked at her friend critically and knew that Angelina was a little appeased by the compliment.
“I talked to them and explained the situation, contacted some people. It was fine. Took us the whole night, but the charges were dropped and I drove her home.” Stephen chose to ignore her.
“It wouldn’t have happened if that woman didn’t place her hand on something that was mine.” As soon as the words left her mouth, Angelina’s eyes widened in horror. She clapped her hands over her mouth to try and take back the words everyone had heard. She probably hoped no one would ask her anything about it. She was wrong.
“Ah, so I am yours,” Stephen said, extremely pleased with the situation. Angelina shook her head like a little tsundere but everyone knew the truth. Stephen leaned in, placing his elbows on his thighs and looking at her with a grin. “Don’t worry, my Angel. I am yours. No amount of women… however pretty can make me look away from you.”
Well, that was reassuring. “I’m not worried,” she said through her gritted teeth. “I don’t care what you do or who you do. Be my guest.”
“Yes, you do,” he told her. “You’re possessive of me and it is driving me crazy. If the car turns you on so much, I’ll just let you drive it. Bonus? I’ll throw in a free ride with Stephen Luther.” Katherine almost choked. Sex in a fancy car.
Well, she didn’t know how feasible it was, but it would be damn sexy if Cage and she tried it.
“I’m doing nothing of the sort,” she shouted. “You had a chance but then you went ahead and spoke to her… you were gonna dump me to go with her… Sorry, I don’t do that shit.”
Stephen squinted at her. Cage knew that expression. He was going to say something outrageous.
“Well, maybe I will. I’ll just go back to the police station and get her number…”
“I dare you to do it!” she said, pouncing on him. The kiss commenced and the other three stared at the scene without saying anything.
Katherine was the first one to comment, “I don’t know how they didn’t sleep together after having that crazy chemistry.” Cage shook his head, as well.
“They are absolutely crazy,” he commented with a sigh. They saw Stephen reach for Angelina’s butt and squeeze it, bringing her closer to him.
Lily looked just as fascinated. “Doesn’t it feel like one of those crazy toxic relationships in the movies?” she said out of the blue, deflating the other two. “I wouldn’t say punching the woman was right, but Stephen was an asshat for leading the woman on…” she commented with a shrug.
‘Ah, Lily comes in and breaks the moment with her truth bomb, again,’ Katherine thought.
“Also, women understanding women is important. When did violence solve anything.” The implication was strong and having heard it, Angelina pulled away from Stephen and gave Lily a blank stare.
“I don’t know who you are,” Stephen deadpanned.
‘Holy shit, he went there.’
Lily glared at him while Angelina smacked him on the shoulder.
“Katherine, Cage… who do you support in this?” The couple shared a look. Cage wanted to opt out immediately but Katherine had something on her mind.
“You’d have fucked up your future if you got charged and you well, that shit would have made the 6th page or something.” Yeah, she wasn’t that famous, but it would make some news. And no one wanted to work with a volatile model. “Stephen was wrong too and should have handled the situation better. So, both of you are wrong.”
“Damn, babe. Maybe I should fire Stephen and have you as my manager,” Cage said with a smile.
“Sure,” she chirped. “Now, if you will excuse me. Cage and I need to spend the last few hours together before separating.” They could ruin the apartment if they wanted, she needed her time alone with her boyfriend.
“I’ll see you in a couple of hours,” Cage said with a wave.
“Angel, I didn’t get any sleep last night… neither did you. We should go to your room and catch up on some sleep,” Stephen said. Lily rolled her eyes.
If that man thought he was getting anywhere with Angelina with that attitude, he was in for a rude awakening. The kiss might have made him think differently, but Angelina was a tough cookie when she was offended.
“Do you honestly think you will get anywhere near my bed? Whether you got me out of the station or not, you let a woman hit on you while you were with me. You get a fucking F for that. I don’t sleep with men who don’t know how to show respect.” Her words were harsh but also… not true.
Angelina slept with an array of guys who were anything but respectful, but this time, she was vulnerable. First, the guy she had been texting was a child and now… this guy.
She had to think carefully. Was she trying to get over her embarrassment and stringing this guy along or did she actually want a piece of him? These questions remain to be answered.
“Bicker all you want, but keep it down. I’ll go back in.” Lily waved them off and the room only had Stephen and Angelina sitting, neither of them talking any longer.
