I just have to play it cool, you don’t need her. You are not a walking container of testosterone.

I saw Melanie walking towards Nikki and I. Well, more towards Nikki, she is not going to be walking towards me for a while after this.

I stood there blankly as I watched Melanie try to comfort Nikki.

....!

I grinned out of nowhere.

“Thanks, Mel!” I said. “You are doing my job for me!”

I turned and walked away.

Now she has to deal with Nikki. Ha!

I could practically feel Melanie’s anger radiate from that spot. I shrugged off my feelings of unease.

She wants me so bad.
