POV
Millie
I wake up to only me on the bed, where's X?
I start to overthink everything, maybe he got what he wanted and now he's done with me. We didn't have sex last night, and although that's because I said sex was excluded from the deal of the game, he does only have sex with Adria after all.
I'm starting to spiral in my thoughts and I need to stop, he could simply just be in the bathroom, his office, or anywhere else around here.
I get up still feeling completely spent after last night and go to the bathroom to freshen up. I get in the shower letting the hot water wash over me. I stare at the meticulous white square tiles that cover the shower walls, everything in this house is so thought out and done with precision.
When I'm out of the shower, I go through my bag and pick out a pair of light-wash jeans and a navy blue shirt.
I grab my phone off the bed after spending a good two minutes searching for it between blankets and sheets.
I have a text from x
Hey babe, I had to go to Colombia last minute. I'll be back on Tuesday. Don't do a repeat of last time.
I shake my head and roll my eyes even though he can't see.
yes sir…
I have plans with all the girls this afternoon, so I think I might just stay with Steph and Mia until X comes back.
I text him again to let him know my plan, I also ask Steph if it's cool that I stay with her until then.
I do my hair in soft curls and apply my makeup in a natural way. I grab one of my bags and just pack whatever is necessary until Tuesday and head down to Steph's suite.
…
I've been at Steph's place for about an hour before Alina and Ellie show up.
As soon as everyone sits down, every single one of them is badgering me about X.
I've never been one to want to spill the beans about a love interest if that's what you can even call it, but these girls are persistent for information.
Alina begs "please, please, please Millie! You have to tell us everything!" she gives me her best puppy dog face and I have to laugh at it.
"Oh fine," I roll my eyes, "what do you want to know?"
Ellie speaks up first, "Have you guys slept together? Have you broken the only Adria curse?"
I shake my head no, "he tried to a couple of days ago, but I just couldn't do it yet" I say almost regretting that I did.
"Girl! That god of a man wanted you and you said no?!" Ellie shrieks.
"I would've jumped his bones before he even finished asking," Alina says like she's about to start drooling. I get a little pang of jealousy just imagining that, but I keep it to myself giving the best poker face I can muster.
"We did do other things though" I blurt out and I could just smack myself for doing that.
I feel my cheeks immediately burn up and Steph says "Umm do tell…" and smirks.
"Oh uh…I don't know.." I say scratching the back of my head embarrassed.
"Millie cmon," Mia says intrigued.
I let out a deep breath, just say it and get it over with.
"We uh…did oral..to each other," I say awkwardly.
All of their eyes widen, "what is he like?!" Is he big?" Alina asks.
"Of course, he's big Alina, one time I joined in with him, Adria, and some of the other girls, no sex of course, but I saw it and he was huge," Ellie tells Alina for me.
I'm feeling extremely uncomfortable now and Steph senses it, "Okay girls, that's enough for now, let's talk about something else." Steph says saving me.
I check my phone while the other girls are chatting about Steph and Julian, but still nothing from X.
…
It's now Monday night and I've spent the last few days at Steph's just lounging around and hanging out with her and Mia whenever they're around. I still haven't heard back from X, but I figure it's just because he's out of the country and I try not to drive myself crazy overthinking anything, like the fact that I've heard that Adria is also there.
I plan to stay here until he reaches out to me and asks me to come back, I don't want to be a clingy girl begging him for attention. I try to fall asleep tossing and turning throughout the night.
…
It's Tuesday, 19 more days left and I'm not sure how I feel about leaving anymore.
Of course, I want to have my own place and get on with my life but what happens with X? Will we still talk? Continue what we've started? Ugh, I have to stop this nonsense already. I check my phone and still nothing from X. He's probably on the plane now.
I go through the day constantly checking my phone like a teenage girl waiting to hear from her crush.
He hasn't reached out at all and it's already 7 pm, I don't know if he's back yet or not but he should be by now.
I've been sulking just thinking about how he's probably already bored of me and getting what he needs from Adria again. It'll be so awkward if I have to face him again to ask if I can get the rest of my bags from the penthouse.
I'm going crazy right now and I need to get out of this suite, my anxiety is getting the better of me, and I need air.
I make my way down the elevator and towards the entrance when lo and behold, the girls that are everywhere at the wrong time are here.
Penelope and Adria.
I try to avoid them but they've already spotted me.
"Nellie," Penelope says in a bitchy tone like usual.
I can't stand this girl with every fiber of my being. "Penelope.." I say cautiously.
Adria looks at Penelope and then back to me, "X and I had such a great time in Colombia with Aspen" she says and winks.
I want to claw her eyes out, she loves getting under my skin and she knows just how to do it.
"Aspen?" I ask curiously.
"Oh yeah Aspen, the boss's daughter, she's always had a thing for X and I. We always have so much fun." She says rubbing it in my face.
I roll my eyes at her and go to walk away but she grabs me by the arm and pushes me against the wall "I told you once already Emily Ann Hill, stay away from my man or you will regret it." She practically spits in my face.
Penelope laughs like the little follower that she is.
"C'mon Penelope, let's go find my man, you can join us," Adria says to Penelope.
Penelope looks behind her as they're walking away, waves over her shoulder, and says "Bye Nellie" with a smirk.
I'm livid! X is back?
How the hell does Adria know my full name?
And who the fuck is Aspen?
I walk out of the front entrance and my feet guide me to my happy place, the beach.
