Chapter 16
Renee’s POV
“I want you to stay away from him because you’re a… A bad influence on him, on all of us” I furrowed my brows and mouthed an ‘Oh’ before nodding my head in approval. “You made him go to that party. Do you know that that was the first time he attended a party in his whole life? Of course, you didn’t know that, and guess what? Once we had gotten back home, he fell ill but thank goodness he was good as new this morning”
Call me crazy but this sounded funny and I felt like laughing my ass out. Okay, aside from the bad influence shit, did she just mention that Shane has never attended a party in his whole fucking life? Bloody hell, I couldn’t believe it. How boring can his life get?
Not that I partied all the time but trust me, it was top on my list aside from making money to pay off our debts. I always went with Nick and made sure to have a whole lot of fun. While he was busy screwing girls at whichever corner he could find, I’d be dancing and drinking, trying to relieve myself from all the stress and living in the moment cause the next, I’d be back to working my ass out.
“It might be hard for him to tell you this but he doesn’t like you. He doesn’t like girls like you.” Layla continued saying. “And if he had his way, if his brother was not much of a pain in the ass, he’d get away from here and he’d never return because of you”
“Truth is, Shane is a different guy. Sometimes I look at him and wonder if he’s from this planet. He’s so cool and good at the same time. You know Derek is not the only one that bullies him. His brother does too ”
I scoffed and my brows drew together in surprise. His brother? Why would his brother do that to him?
“Cause he thinks that their father loves Shane more than him” She answered to my thoughts as if reading my mind.” He gives Shane the most expensive things and all his brother does is take them from him whenever he wants. But why wouldn’t their father not love him when he’s the good one who doesn’t go around causing trouble and tainting the family’s name?”
I rolled my eyes and went to stand in front of the window where I watched Shane and Theo play basketball. If I had a younger sibling, I’d treat him or her like they’re my entire world. Why would I want to bully them in the first place? Tsk, these rich kids could be something else.
“So you see, that’s why he’s here. This is like his second home and here, we try to make him feel comfortable no matter what. His dad is always busy and when he eventually comes back home, Shane would have to stay here because his brother will return from wherever he had been while their father was away. His brother hates seeing him around and sometimes uses him as a punching bag whenever he gets the chance. So to avoid that, he stays here with us until their father travels and his brother is out of the house too”
Okay, if I’m to get this straight, Shane has been bullied his whole life and it’s not by anyone else but his fucking brother. If I were Shane, I’d break his nose and make sure he bleeds his eyes out. Then if he tried touching me again, I’d tie him up in his sleep, cook some oil and fry his fucking balls.
Nick had taught me how to fight a long time ago. At first, I thought it was stupid and a fucking waste of time and energy but later I got to realize that it was worth it, especially when I was dealing with a handful of tough guys.
I’m pretty sure if Shane could at least throw a fucking punch at his brother, he’d back off for the rest of his life but who am I kidding though? Shane is a pussy and he’d never do that. I can’t easily forget how he trembled under my touch like he was gonna pass out.
“All I want is for him to be comfortable and you need to stay away from him. He doesn’t like you so don’t try to make it hard for him”
I smiled and chuckled as I turned away from the window. “You mentioned he doesn’t like girls like me. Tell me the type of girls he likes, I think that would be much easier”
She curled her hands into a fist and sighed before looking up at me. “Why should I tell you that? I’ve told you to stay away from him”
“Why? Because you like him and want him all to your fucking self?” Her eyes widened in shock as she moved hastily towards me. She looked around the room before turning back to look at me.
“Shut up, okay?” She whispered and I chuckled. “It’s none of your business, just stay away from him. I care about him and everyone else, that’s why I’m doing this. You can’t walk in here with your crop tops and cursing around and change the way things used to be”
Oh, so this was still about my dress and choice of words, fucking interesting.
“You know I’m so sorry, Layla but I do a thing called what I want. And if you don’t fucking like it, then that’s your problem. Besides, I don’t even like Shane” She heaved and I smirked. “He’s far too good and I love bad boys. You know the type that could shove me up against the wall while he’s down there, eating me out until I’m fucking brainless”
She grimaced but I continued. Goddamn it, I was enjoying the moment.
“The type that could make my panties so fucking drenched just by looking at me or talking to me. Oh, what about spanking my butts and choking the hell out of me?”
“Renee…” She called out with her eyes closed, “Stop!”
“Oh, I also love boys that can fight and stand up for their fucking self, not boys who run away from their homes like chickens running around without being chased” I continued and chuckled lightly. “Sadly, Shane isn’t close to being any of that. Wait, does he even know how to touch a girl and make her tremble in pleasure?”
“I said-STOP!!!” She spat acidly, her chest heaving in frustration. “STOP!”
“Of course, I will but I won’t try to stay away from him”
She glared hard at me and fisted her hands. “He doesn’t like you, he doesn’t need someone like you in his life because you’re not good for him”
“And I think you’ve said that plenty of times in the last thirty minutes”
She opened her mouth to say more but the words couldn’t flow out. Angrily, she turned around and started walking towards the door. She paused in front of it and turned back to look at me.

Wo! I think things are getting pretty serious here but what’s with her anyway? As long as I can remember, I never forced Shane to attend any fucking party. I only called him a pussy and that’s all. So why is Shane the only thing coming out of her mouth?
“He’ll never like you because you’re the opposite of the kind of girls he likes which is me”
I smirked and asked. “Well then, should I give it a try?”
