- About the Author
My dad also made sure to scold me for sneaking out, which I didn't because I literally walked out the front door where he could see me.
I argued with him and said that I am a twenty-year-old woman who is allowed to make her own decisions but of course he thought otherwise.
So, for now I am giving him the silent treatment because what he is doing isn't fair. I am pretty sure my father lived by himself when he was around my age and that he could do whatever the hell he wanted to.
When I did bring that point up to him, he just said that he was a man, and I am just a girl. Things are different than they were twenty years ago.
If my mom was around he probably would have said it in a different way though.
"That sounds fun."
"Yea. I am looking forward to it," I drop the towel from my body and put Cameron on speaker. "What about you? What are you doing?"
He starts talking but I’m not paying attention because I hear my bedroom door open and I see Alexander walk in.
"Hey, we have to go-" he stops talking only because his eyes widen and he’s roaming them all over my body.
"Xander!" I yell and go to get the towel from the floor to cover my bare body but instead of Alexander moving he just leans on his side against the wall and smirks.
"Damn, De Luca, I didn't know you were kinky like that. Phone sex doesn't seem like your thing."
I feel heat rush to my cheeks, and I don't think twice before running towards him and shoving him out of the room.
"Fuck you!" I yell.
"You wish, angel," I hear him mutter, making me roll my eyes and kick the door.
Alexander saw me naked.
I shouldn't care but for some reason, I feel embarrassed, which is a first. Alexander has seen me in my underwear and bra before and I have never cared, but god, he saw me naked.
I feel embarrassed.
My cheeks feel like they are on fire and the spot between my legs aches.
"Thalia? Hello, are you still there?"
I run to the phone and take him off speaker before putting it to my ear. "Hey, sorry I need to go but I will text you."
"Is everything okay? I heard you yell and then someone else?" Cameron asks in a worried tone.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I need to go."
"Alright, bye," Cameron says at the same time I hang up the phone.
I quickly change into a pair of dark gray leggings and a shirt that is cropped. I quickly put on my shoes and run out of the room.
