Love At First Glance (Love at Firsts #1)(6)
Two Weeks Later
Living with Spencer has been very different, I've stopped buying every little thing that tickled my fancy, I’m eating a lot healthier and have a real breakfast every morning, gone are the days of Starbuck’s amazing cakes and I’m working out every night or going for runs around the park with him. It hasn’t been long, but I can already feel a difference. I can’t see any physical changes yet, but I have more energy and I don’t mind this healthy lifestyle malarkey as much now.
I am starting to feel like I’m being a bother to him though. He hasn’t brought or invited anyone over and I know he’s had a couple of calls from someone who wanted a night of fun. I feel guilty, but he’s never complained or moaned about it, so I guess it’s not too bad.
Spencer, being Spencer, he’s always doing and getting me whatever I want or need and it was fine for the first day, but it's becoming too much. I love to do things by myself. I love to cook and, as crazy as it may sound, I don’t mind cleaning all that much. I also love to walk around in my underwear and that’s not exactly something I can do freely here. I’m sure Spence wouldn’t mind, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable and knowing him, he’d rub up against me just to tease me. I need to find somewhere to stay other than here. I just have to find a way to break the news to him, which is going to be f*cking hard; he’s most likely going to take it the wrong way.
The day after I caught Adam cheating, we went to pick up my stuff from my old apartment. Adam was stupid enough to be there when I arrived, but I wasn’t alone. Spencer and one of his bodybuilding buddies were with me, which he didn’t expect. The look of terror on his face when he saw them behind me was priceless. I tried my hardest not to laugh, I promise but I quickly lost my battle and a strangled laugh escaped my lips. Once again, he begged me to come back or at least give him a second chance the entire time we were there. He avoided Spencer and his friend like the plague, walking into another room whenever they walked into the same one as him. He ended up locking himself in the bathroom, either waiting to ambush me when I went to grab my stuff or because he was actually scared of them. I would’ve been if I was in his position. I still cringe when I think back to that day. How could I ever allow myself to be with such an *?
I walk into the bathroom and jump when I see Adam sitting on the edge of the bathtub with his phone in his hand.
“What the hell are you doing in here?”
“They’re trying to physically hurt me so I had no choice but to come in here,” he whispers, no doubt worried that they could hear him.
“Scared of Spencer and Owen? They are the sweetest guys ever!”
“With you maybe but I swear if looks could kill I’d be dead by now.”
“Yes, you would be because I’d have killed you yesterday when I found you getting a blowjob in our bed.” I frown, disgusted at the pathetic excuse for a man sitting in front of me.
“I’m sorry! I never meant for it to happen, but we haven’t had sex in months. I have needs. Thinking back it was a bad idea, but you were never supposed to find out,” he says looking mad that he was caught.
“So it was all my fault? That is so f*cked up. You cheating on me was already disgusting, but you thinking that it was okay because I wasn’t supposed to find out is despicable! You know, I’m glad I caught you. Sure, my ego is hurt, but at least I don't have to endure being around your whiney ass. I need a real man who won’t go out and f*ck my so called friend just because I became self-conscious. Whilst I’m at it, I’d get myself checked if I were you, with the amount of dick Cassidy was getting it wouldn’t surprise me if she has a STD, but that’s just a little friendly advice. Do whatever you want. Isn’t that what you’ve always done anyway?” I finish and smile at myself, feeling quite proud that I didn’t lose my temper or cry.
“Well said, Have,” I hear Spencer say from behind me and a giggle escapes me when I look at Adam’s face which suddenly pales. I step out of the bathroom and let Spencer and Owen in. They lock the door behind themselves and I resume packing all of my things. I hear Spencer yell at Adam, but can’t hear what he's saying. No doubt Spencer scaring the shit out of him. Spence always been overprotective of me and it’s not going to change any time soon, no matter how hard I try to dissuade. I hear a loud thud from the bathroom. I look in that direction and see Spencer and Owen walk with a smug look on their face.
“Proud of yourself, boys?”
“Boys?” Owen snorts. “That in there is a boy, we are all men, Baby.”
“Dude, don’t call her baby, that’s f*cking disturbing,” Spencer says as he punches Owen’s shoulder.
“Yeah, yeah, she’s off limits, I know.” I chuckle at the both of them.
“You two are worse than girls.” I shake my head and tape up the last box.
“Are you done?” Spencer asks me, clearly not happy with me either for mocking him or for being in the bathroom with cockface.
“With what? Mocking you or packing?” I grin smugly.
“Both.”
“Boxes yes, mocking you? Never.” I laugh and he pretends to strangle me.
“One day you won’t leave me with any choice but to really strangle you.”
“That’ll be a very sad day. Who will you annoy on a daily basis? Besides, you need me to find you a decent date. I have to approve of the person who is worthy of being with a man like you. You need someone who is strong enough to put up with your shit, but is also sensitive enough to show you what love really is.” I smile at him.
