SIN

“Hey.”

I grimaced as a blonde whispered into my ear.

She wrapped her arms around me and pushed her breasts to my back.

My eyes strayed to Laurent, and I shook my head.

He shrugged and mouthed, “I didn’t call her.”

“I thought you were lonely, and I wanted to keep you company.” She murmured into my ears.

I didn’t know why. Her voice made my skin crawl and made me feel like throwing up.

I wanted to shove her hands off of me, but I didn’t want to be rough.

Also, she reminded me of Emma. I guess it was the way she spoke and the silly scent of her that got on my nerves.

“How about we play a game?”

“Sorry, darling.” I said, “I’d prefer to be alone.”

“Don’t be a spoilsport.” She said, “I came here willing, and letting my friends mock me would be awful. Do you want that?”

“I want to be alone.” The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I bit on it.

I doubted she’d let me go, even if I told her.

She seemed like a clinging type. The one who never relented and wanted what they couldn’t get.
