My Sexy Devil Book 3

Mars Mejia

Assumption and the Aftermath

I stared at the unconscious asshole lying on the floor. For a brief moment, I regretted it as my fist throbbed. It had been a while since I’d boxed. My form was rusty.

My eyes flickered to Kara when someone walked up to her.

It’s the girl Q’s been looking for. Jessica.

I studied them as Jessica whispered something to Kara. Kara’s face remained flushed, surprised by the scene that unfolded. She briefly glanced at me before reddening even more.

“Thank you.” Her voice barely managed to whisper.

Before I could reply, Jessica called for her.

“Kara?” Jessica tried to get Kara to focus on explaining, and they returned to their hushed voices. Kara’s long brown hair flowed down her back, catching my attention.

It looked so soft and silky. Realizing she’s very pretty, I continued checking her out.

With her turned to the side, I let my eyes roam her curvy figure. Very pretty. I tore my eyes away when I felt my dick twitch. I was getting too excited.

Why was I still standing here?

Kara’s fingers danced on her forearms. They were crossed across her chest, causing her cleavage to push up. The unintentional gesture almost made my eyes wander again. I forced myself to remain calm.

There was now a large crowd of people surrounding the scene. I had to refrain from rolling my eyes. I just knocked someone out and they were praising me?

The prejudiced assumptions were already beginning. I could hear the whispers and comments. I felt slightly annoyed. There was a part of me that wished I hadn’t helped her. Turning to Kara, I let my anger out on her, “Now that you’ve caused an unnecessary scene, can you leave?”

Kara snapped her attention to me. The immediate timid look punched me in the gut. Fuck. Was I being an asshole to a shy girl? The doe-eyed look caught me off guard.

“I caused a scene?” She scoffed. Maybe those weren’t the best words I could’ve used. I blinked at her attitude, torn between apologizing or continuing to argue.

Then I saw the look in her eyes. There was nothing but judgment. Another person who knew nothing about me except biased lies. I knew the reputation I had, and I hated it.

The look in her eyes was like a slap in the face. “Yeah, you,” I replied, not hiding my annoyance. My words seemed to have pushed her buttons. There was now a fierce determination in her gaze.

Standing her ground, Kara snapped, “You just punched someone in the face, and I caused a scene?” She was starting to raise her voice. Ah, great. You’re definitely not making a scene by yelling. I was annoyed to the point that I no longer cared if I looked like an asshole. “Well, you brought him here, and I don’t like negative people. Besides, I can do whatever I want. This is my party.”

The last part of my sentence caused her face to go white.

Kara remained rooted in place, not moving or saying a word. Her fists were clenched as her body shook with anger.

Just when I thought she was going to walk away, she locked her eyes with mine. “I don’t care. Get off your high horse, Jackson. I’m not going to kiss your ass like the rest of these people,” she snapped viciously.

The amount of disappointment that whirled through me was disturbing. Taking a step closer to her, I corrected, “It’s Jason,” I crossed my arms.

The gesture seemed to intimidate her. I was now annoyed—and amused.

Whispering caused my ears to perk. “Jason is going to humiliate her. I feel bad for her,” someone commented from the curious crowd.

Kara seemed to have heard as well. Her entire body froze.

She turned her icy glare back to me.

“I don’t give a fuck. You’re just some arrogant asshole who likes pushing people around and acts like he’s better than everyone else. Luckily for you, I’m not someone you’re going to push around,” Kara concluded.

Then she was roughly shoving past me and walking to the door.

There it was. The assumption.

I shook my head as my anger turned to pity. There was no reason to be involved with anything tonight, and now I did regret it.

The house was silent as they waited for some sort of retaliation, but nothing happened. I had nothing I wanted to say to a blinded girl.

I could hear her footsteps stop. I was too tired to turn around and face her. “And I’m leaving because I want to,” Kara snapped. This time I did roll my eyes.

The wall shook as she slammed the door behind her. I gritted my teeth, annoyed. I had tried to help her and somehow made things worse.

A groan below me distracted me. Glancing down, I realized it was Adam. Holy shit, I forgot about him.

“What’d I miss?” Q came up from behind me in a rush. He’d probably heard what happened through the grapevine of rumors already starting.

Sighing, I crouched down beside Adam. He was still out of it. “Help me bring him to the couch? I’ll tell you then.” Quintin nodded, lowering himself to grab Adam’s feet.

Looping my arms around his armpits, we lifted Adam’s heavy body and placed him on the now-empty couch.

The few people who hadn’t witnessed the scene unfold watched with curiosity. It wouldn’t take long for them to figure out he’d been punched and not too drunk to function.

As soon as Adam was adjusted on the couch, Q turned to me. “Was this your doing?” His eyebrow was cocked as he waited for an answer.

Rolling my eyes, I explained the situation. “After that, that Jessica girl you like came up. She’s friends with Kara.” As soon as I mentioned Jessica, his eyes lit up.

“What’d she say?” he questioned, eager to hear more about her.

I laughed at my friend. “Nothing to me. She was just checking up on her friend.” I replayed the situation before it turned into a shitshow.

“To be honest, if it weren’t for Kara’s annoying attitude, I would’ve definitely tried to hit on her.”

The way she’d looked at me when we first made eye contact was ingrained in my memory. She was definitely attractive; too bad she hated me.

I perked up as an idea crossed my mind.

Q took one look at me and shook his head. “Nope. Whatever dumbass idea you just thought of, take it and throw it in the trash.”

My lips formed a grin. “Monday’s going to be very interesting.” What better way to get back at her than annoying her even more?
