Chapter 22
The doors opened, and there stood a sweaty Blake. Oh god, kill me now!
Just like the previous night, Blake had obviously been on a run. He looked red and was panting extra hard. He looked between Vince and me and walked
“Vince, you know Blake Cooper?” I said, trying to lessen the awkwardness.
“Yeah, everyone knows Blake Cooper. Nice to finally meet you,” Vince said and extended his hand for Blake.
“I can’t say I’m delighted to see you, sorry. My hands are yucky and sweaty. Maybe next time” Blake’s voice was sour and blunt.

Vince had already pressed the level 10 button, so we waited for the doors to close. We stood in awkwardness for the 2 minutes the lift took. I’ve never felt so much tension in a room before. I couldn’t help but pray for the lift to hurry up.
Once at level 10, the door opened, and I quickly walked out. Vince followed me and Blake walked to his door.
“Didn’t realize you lived next to this famous guy,” said Vince. I rolled my eyes.
“Actually, Vince, I did tell you last Friday. If you remember, we had a conversation about this with Chris,” I reminded him.
“Ahh, yes we did,” he replied. He knew and remembered all of this. He was just trying to wind Blake up, and it was working because the next thing I heard was Blake’s door slamming shut.
“Vince, was that necessary? He’s my boss. He can’t go hating me because I had dinner with you,” I said as we walked in. Vince shut the door behind us, and I could hear the tv going. I ran towards the couch and jumped on the two people.
“YOU’RE BACK!” I screamed and hugged Taylor!
She laughed and hugged me back “yes, babe, I’m back!”
“I’ve missed you so much. Don’t leave me like that again” I held her tight my voice cracked a little.
“Oh, Hunny, I won’t! You only just saw me yesterday. What’s wrong with you?” She asked, rubbing my back.
“Can we go have a chat? I need some girl time,” I replied.
“Let’s go” she got up and pulled me up with her. She walked into my room and shut the door behind her.
“Okay, spill. What’s going on?” She lay on my bed and stretched out.
“Blake kissed me,” I blurted out.
“He did what now?!” She shouted, her eyes the size of a flying saucer.
I sighed and plopped down next to her.
“We had dinner last night, and he was telling me his sad life story. I went to comfort him and hugged him. When I pulled away, he was very close, and he kissed me” I covered my eyes with my hands to hide my embarrassment.
“The worst part was that I told him this morning, then it was my first kiss,” I said quickly and turned my face away from Taylor.
“Oh, bloody hell Rosy why the fuck would you do that?” She asked, her voice still high.
“I don’t know!!” I whined.
“Oh, oh, it gets better!” I said, sitting up now. “Vince came to pick me for dinner, and Blake saw it. Vince was one of the guys his ex fucked. He was so angry when he saw Vince with me and kinda even warned me before he walked away.”

“Oh dear lord!” She facepalmed herself.
“So now what do I do?!” I slumped back on my bed and buried my face in my hands.
“Babe, what do you want to do? It sounds like both the boys would happily rip your clothes off and make you beg them to stop, but who do you want?” She said, and I groaned.
“I like Vince, Tay. I really do. He’s amazing, and he seems like he does really care. That kiss with Blake was just something that happened in the moment. I don’t even know Blake. Yes, when I saw him that first day, things in me were brewing, and it may still be. His hot, and I will admit that I do want him to
nasty things to me but is that what I’m really after?” I was pacing around my room now.
