I stepped out of the bath and changed into a lavender set of pajamas, not bothering to blow dry my hair. I knew good food was waiting for me and I didn't want it to keep waiting for me.

I hurried out of the room and stopped when I heard Rowan on the phone.

"I don't know what else I am supposed to do. She won't take the bait."

I felt my entire body go cold.

Take the bait?

"What else am I supposed to do? Lick her shoes? Do you know how hard it is to pretend to like someone you loathe? But I need her on my side so I have to do this shit!" He was pacing around the living room so I hid myself away from his field of view.

I felt the unshed tears sting at the edges of my eyes but I was not going to cry. He had already made a fool out of me. I was not going to let him make me a pathetic fool.

"Ashton, you don't understand. She is disgusting! She is so annoying. I can't. You know I would rather spend my time with someone else."

Disgusting? Annoyin
