Six years ago

/"He’s here, Vegas. I saw him check-in with a bunch of guys and a girl./" I didn't have to tell Vegas who he was. Vegas Shipley knew all of my secrets. We were best friends, sisters really. If anything good had come from the aftermath of what happened to me, moving next door to Vegas was it.

/"Axel is there? In New York? With you? Are you serious?!/"

/"No. He isn't with me./" Spiteful jealousy clouded my voice and chose my words, /"He’s hanging onto some basic bitch that is thinner than my thigh./"

Vegas snorted her disbelief. /"And? Nothing wrong with your size, your intelligence, or your looks. If Axel has any sense, he will at least talk to you./"

Not by the way he has his arm around her.

The way his palm rested more on the swell of her ass than on the small of her back announced his possession. She was his.
