Chapter Eight

Cole was already halfway out the door before I could even ask him what he meant by that. Sky was pressed against the window her eyes following Braden, Cole's dog.

I brought her to the back" I'm sure he will come visit again sky" I said stroking her hair. I knew that she would be sulking for the rest of the day.

Locking up the bakery late at night was always a task. Savannah was the owner of the bakery and she wanted to have a bakery and coffee shop that was open till late at night. The students from uni like it and it's a big hit with them.

When I saw the flat I quickly swiped my key in the gate and ran inside. There were a few students sitting around in the social room area.

"you made it" Sarah said her back leaning on the sofa as she played a card game with some other people.

This is becoming a nightly routine.

"barely, I'm pretty sure some weirdo followed me right up until the gate I told her as I walked past her and swiped an Oreo from the staff on the table.

She shivers "that's why you don't walk alone at night, silly" Rylan said walking up to me and wrapping his arm around my shoulders.

"the girls are in, they just went up" he told me, like I wanted to know where my flatmates were. Kim has been gone all week, something about making music with Kyle, apparently Cole's best friend is already a signed artist.

"see you guys later" I said making my way to the lift. I'm in desperate need of a warm shower right now.

After leaving the lift I slowly made my way to our door, my eyes becoming heavy with every second. I pressed my card to the door and let myself in. I guessed that the girls were either in their rooms or sleeping.

I passed by the kitchen heading straight for my room only to be scared out of my godamm mind.

"Real classy Alexis, what's next you bring the guys to our flat" my hand paused at my door. I knew that it was Montana that said it. But I couldn't believe she had actually said that.

I turned around "what's that supposed to mean" she shrugged her shoulders, her eyes scrolling through her phone.

I slammed my door shut.

"Oi Lex clam down will you" Kim poked her head out of the kitchen her hands filled with fries.

"no mon tell me what's on your mind" I stood right in front of her. Kim noticed the weird mood in the room and walked closer.

Tana finally put her phone down onto the table "all I'm saying is you parade yourself around here and you walk home every night, you said you were a virgin but now I'm starting to think it was all lies" oh for real.

"I am a virgin you bitch"

She laughed at me "oh shout it louder, I don't think they heard you in the back"

Is she actually serious right now, this was actually going to drive me insane. Something has been off with her; I don't even know when it started but something just hasn't felt right.

"Mon" Kim exclaimed appalled at Tana's words directed at me.

"what? Aren't you suspicious about her walking in every night" yep she's actually serious.

"well little miss senorita ever heard of something called a part time job" Kim defended me. I turned to her; how did she know about that.

"don't look at me like that, I saw you the other night serving cookies, the chocolate chip kind" she sent Tana a harsh glare.

I was enjoying the sight of Tana looking guilty, but I had not a hint of sympathy for her after what she's said. So, what if I come in late every night, is she really going to assume that I'm fucking men every night.

"so that's where you were just now" Tana speaks finally her voice not as confident as before. This time I was the one laughing.

"yes, what did you think this powder was, fucking cocaine its cake flour "I said shoving my t-shirt in her face, I was well aware I was now just standing in my sports bra and leggings.

Her eyes widened "if you don't believe me ask your fucking boyfriend if you want" I shouted at her growing hot with anger. I couldn't even stay here and look at her, I turned around and went straight to my room.

"is this some sick joke, you're seeing Cole behind my back" I made the mistake of leaving my door open, so I heard every single word that came out of her mouth.

I won't lie, I expected this behaviour from Kim not Montana.

"you're acting psychotic Tana; he came to the bakery and we spoke for a about 5 minutes before he left. He likes you so stop blaming me and accusing me of being a slut" with that I slammed the door blocking her out completely.

I was in full on rage as I headed for my shower. I shoved my dirty clothes in the laundry and got inside the shower.

My skin was going to break out in rashes from how harsh I was scrubbing my skin.

I completely ignored the knocks on my door throughout the night. I needed to sleep it off before I went back out there and slapped her for being so fucking bitchy when I've done nothing wrong but help her out. How ungrateful can you be.
