Alpha's White Lie (Rosy and Blake) novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21

The lift dinged, and we had reached ground level. We all walked out, and the security guard opened the main door for us. As I walked out, a black Mercedes

came into view. It was parked at the curb, and a guy was leaning on it, talking on his phone. I recognized both. Blake and Lilly were right behind me and

stopped to see who this guy was.

Vince saw us and ended his call before turning and opening the passenger door. I smiled a little. He was always a gentleman.

1 turned around, and Lilly’s face had a big grin on it, but Blake’s face was serious.

“Is that Vince Callum?” He asked.

Shit! Of course, Blake knew him. He was one of the guys that slept with Kyra,

“Yeah, it is. Taylor’s brother” I was nervous again.

“Well, have a goodnight, boss. See you in the morning,” Lilly said and gave me a wink before laughing and walking towards her car.

“You’re seeing Taylor’s brother?” Blake said and stepped closer to me.

“I’m not seeing him. I’m just having dinner. I’ve known him since I was 13.” I was annoyed.

He had a problem with Vince, which I understood. But don’t go accusing me of things.

“You know he-…” I cut him off.

“Blake, stop. I’m sorry Vince has hurt you, but it’s got nothing to do with me. I’m just having dinner with the guy.” I said to him.

He tensed up a little and looked over my shoulder. Vince was standing behind me.

“Is there a problem?” Vince asked. I could feel he was standing very close.

“No, not at all,” I said and turned around. “Let’s go” I started to walk away, and Vince followed.

“Rosy…” Blake called out, and I stopped to look back at him. He had a pained look on his face.

“Please be very careful” was his response before he walked away.

“What’s his problem?” Vince asked.

“You are!” I replied and sighed. “I’m hungry. Let’s go.”

Vince took us to a nice Italian restaurant. We chatted for hours about so many random things. In my head, the scene from Vince asking Kyra to leave played over and over again. I was very aware of Vince’s intentions, but here I was, instead of keeping my distance, I was leading him on. What were my intentions with Vince? I liked him, and I didn’t doubt that. But, facts and logical thinking governed my feelings and emotions. My entire life was based on the fear of being used and taken advantage of. Man and their ability to fuck and wake away was not new to me. I just didn’t want it happening to me. I’ve

seen the damage it does and the consequences it brings.

My heart told me that Vince wasn’t like that. He wouldn’t treat me like trash, but logic was telling me not to believe that, I’d known Vince was a heartbreaker. He had slept with his share of girls. I’ve only ever heard once that Vince was in a committed relationship. He’d been with models, actresses,

trust fund babies, and even some older women. So his interest in a plain Jane like me was absurd. So why was he so interested? Was Blake right to say me to be careful…
