HUNDRED AND ONE
HUNDRED AND ONE
ISABEL'S POV
‘Why are you being all bitchy today? And wait a minute, what is Rayna doing here?’ she whispered.
I scoffed ‘Oh now you want to whisper? How convenient.’
‘Oh stop it Isabel, just tell me what’s going on.’
I sighed ‘She is one of Drake’s little whores’
Jas eyes widened ‘Really? Damn Drake really has great taste in women.’
I was offended ‘Is that all you can really say?’
‘What? It’s the truth’
I hissed and murmured something inaudible.
She hugged me ‘Okay girl, I’m sorry. I wouldn’t talk about Rayna again. I promise’
I shrugged and Jasmine came closer, her voice dropping mischievously. ‘So, tell me about the guys. Tell me what’s going on with Drake these days. Wait…what about Aiden? How is he doing? Girl that guy is so sexy, did you talk to him about me like you promised?’ she asked, batting her eye lashes.
I froze, my lips pressing into a thin line.
Jasmine narrowed her eyes. ‘Oh, hell no. Don’t you dare do that thing where you dodge the question. Don’t tell me you didn’t tell him anything’
‘The right time never came. I…I really don’t really want to talk about Aiden now,’ I said quickly, staring at the roses.
Jas gasped ‘Something serious happened. What aren’t you telling me?’
I tried to fight it, but the words weighed too heavily on my chest. My fingers twisted in my lap as I blurted, ‘Yesterday… I fucked up’
‘On a scale of one to ten, how bad did you fuck up?’ she asked.
I closed my eyes and blurted out ‘Ten..I…I slept with him Jas’
‘With who?’
‘I slept with Drake yesterday.’
Jasmine’s scream nearly made the guards look over. ‘You what?!’ She grabbed my shoulders, and shook me vigorously ‘You had sex with Drake? You fucked the scary, ruthless, no-emotions, hotter-than-sin Alpha? The same man you told me you hate his guts?’
I shushed her frantically, looking around. ‘Keep your voice down!’
But Jasmine was beyond reasoning. She squealed so loudly the roses practically wilted. ‘Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God! You did it! You actually did it! Tell me everything….what was it like? Was it rough? Was it slow? How big is he? Is his dick made of gold? Don’t you dare leave out a single detail.’
My face flamed crimson. ‘I’m not telling you that! I don’t sex and tell.’
‘Don’t you dare say that to me’ Jasmine leaned closer, practically bouncing on the bench. ‘Best friends don’t gatekeep sex stories, especially when it’s with a freaking Alpha. Please, Isabel, for the love of all things holy, feed me!!!’
I buried my face in my hands. I had forgotten how dramatic Jasmine could be. ‘It was… intense,’ I whispered finally.
‘That’s it? Intense? Girl, you better start talking or I’m moving in here just to spy. And don’t whisper girl, you had sex with the hottest man alive, you should be yelling’
My lips curved into a shy smile. I thought of the way Drake’s hands owned every inch of me, the way his mouth had unraveled me until I was nothing but trembling heat. Heat rushed to my cheeks, and Jasmine squealed again.
‘I knew it! Look at that blush! Oh, you’re done for. He ruined you, didn’t he? Ruined you for every other man.’
‘Jasmine!’ Isabel hissed, mortified.
‘What? Don’t ‘Jasmine’ me. This is the best gossip of my life. I need popcorn.’ She clapped her hands dramatically.
I shook her head, torn between laughter and exasperation. ‘You’re impossible.’
‘You are impossible too’ Jasmine pointed at me, smirking wickedly, ‘You are whipped. You can deny it all you want, but one does not simply sleep with an Alpha like Drake and walk away the same way. Admit it…the sex was so good’
My smile faltered. My chest tightened, and Aiden’s face flashed in my mind. I looked away, my laughter fading into silence.
Jasmine noticed and frowned. ‘What is it? What’s wrong?’
‘Nothing,’ I said softly, my voice tight.
But deep inside, the war was only beginning.
