Chasing Imperfection (Chasing Series 2) (8 page)

   
W
ho cares?
I wanted to
yell at her. Ivanna even looked
mesmerized at the
crooning bloke
.
Women turn gaga over men singing with their guitars strapped on. The bad boy appeal, perhaps? Even the sweet proper Lucy simply looked awestruck. Bloody women.

    
“Try not to gawk at the poor bloke love—he might get struck by lightning
—I’m sure he doesn’t need any more trouble other than the wrath of Blake—that alone
is
deadly
,
” Toby jested. He wasn’t even jealous when his girlfriend admired another man. I wish I was that confident when I was with Sienna.

   
This is over my head
     But underneath my feet
     Cause by tomorrow morning I'll have this thing beat
     And everything will be back to the way that it was
     I wish that it was just that easy

    
My eyes landed back
on
Sienna.
I
took
in
he
r sexy ensemble. She look
ed
provocative and racy with that red and black lace corset. God, she looks sultry and utterly fascinating. She can pull-off any bloody look. How does she do that? She can look divine and sophisticated with her a-line dresses and pearls then look like a cowgirl next without much ado.
Fuck
, her breasts look like they’
re about
to topple over. Did she dress up for him?
My thoughts countered.
Bloody
fuck
, I hate her
!

    
Cau
se I'm waiting for tonight
    
Been waiting for tomorrow
     I'm somewhere in between
     What is real, just a dream

     I felt a heavy ache sitting on my chest.
I want her so badly it hurts to breathe but h
ell will freeze over b
efore I succumb to Sienna
again
.
I won’t let her hurt me that way again.

    
I felt Ivanna
’s hand on my thigh again and
smiled. It was a good call
to
bring
her with me or I would’ve bloody dragged Sienna out of here before she could blink twice. I still had the inkling to do so, but my pride
prevented me
and rationalized my thinking.

     When Kyle finished his song, he said thanks and left the stage. The audience seemed to love him. I watched him like a hawk as he strolled towards her. He picked her up and kissed
her
quickly on the lips as he twirled her around.

     
How cozy
, it lo
oks like they’re back together,
I thought drily as I took another swig of my drink, Belvedere on the rocks.

     Luce
and Toby excused themselves and made their
way towards the inseparable couple. Ivanna’s hand kept going upwards until she reached my crotch
and massaged it
. “You know you’re a very sexy man Blake.” I shrugged
,
smiling at her. “You
are
. I can’t stop touching you
.
”
She pouted
her lips and tr
ied
to catch my attention.

    
I bet my bank account appealed more to her no doubt.
She’s dressed in a silver sheath short dress with h
er platinum blonde
hair
and
silver grey eyes that made her look like she came right out of the fashion runway.
She’s gorgeous
and she knows how to use that to
her advantage. Although she’s a tad delusional…I might just keep her around if she can manage to not spout crazy notions about her and me.
Or I can just drop her and properly pursue Camilla—if I can get my act together.

      I
vanna
was actually not bad with sex
—nothing astounding, but fairly decent.
She’s quite responsive and didn’t quite mind that I called her
a different name.
I can’t help it
you see—it just happens naturally even if I tried not to
. Every single bloody fucking time I’m fucking someone, I imagine it’s
Sienna
. Am I going crazy? It’s quite bizarre and it’s mystifying to me.

      I smirked when I thought of doing the same
thing
with Camilla—she would be aghast
and would never speak to me again. She’s such a sweet, proper woman. That is why if I do decide to consider her, I have to be rid of Sienna. Or if not, at least not scream her name while I’m buried over nine inches deep inside another woman.

    
A
ll four of them
were approaching our booth.
I leaned over to Ivanna’s ear and whispered seductively
,
“Keep doing that…you might just get rewarded tonight. Can’t help it can you?”

     Sh
e shook her pretty blonde head,
“
H
ow? That’s impossible. You gave me two mind-blowing orgasms
,
”
s
he announced
with no filter whatsoever
and
right in front of
our FOUR
approaching guests
.
Ivanna
kept smiling at the newcomers
. I heard Toby and Kyle
break out in
riotous laughter.

    
Perfect
, just in time.

    
Toby and Luce slid
in
first
. That
left room for
only one more
person. “Come sit on my lap babe
,
”
the idiot slid next to Toby
and pulled Sienna
from her waist
and positioned her on his thigh
.

    
Brilliant
, just bloody fucking brilliant!

    
The
lovebirds sat before Ivanna and me. I didn’t even bother introducing Ivanna to them. I’m raging with madness right now. I’m trying to reason with myself
—
that I
have to get used to seeing her with someone else
from now on. But I can
’t
see straight! It’
s like waving a large crimson red flag at a raging, wild and uncontrolled bull
.
A
ll I see is that red flag
waving,
baiting me to take a
good
hit at Kyle Matthews
once again
.

    
Oh, I’m
sure
he
loves
this
awkward
,
uncomfortable situation
.
I knew he’d
savor this sweet victory of his and rub it on my jealous face.
H
e’s doing a splendid job. I’m just about to lose it when Toby spoke.

    
Thank
G
od
! At least there’s a person here looking out for me before I grab Matthews by the throat and throttle him.
He’s fairly muscled, but I’m much bigger and stronger. Thanks to rugby football and boxing. For pastime, I like to row and sail when I get a chance.
The man wouldn’t stand a chance with me.

“Ivanna this is a good friend of ours, Sienna and her friend
,
Kyle.”
Toby
cleared his throat and continued, “Uh this is Ivanna—Blake’s—uh
.
”
H
e
was
at a loss for words, bugger.

     “Lover…girlfriend…whatever fits,” Ivanna airlessly offered. “So, you two are a couple? That was super sweet with you singing to her like that Kyle
.
”
Her accent
much
more pronounced with her roll of the words.

     “Thanks! Yeah—it was actually a surprise. I sang to her few years back but I’ve been practicing for quite some time now. I enjoy it a lot. Did you like it
,
babe?” Addressing his
“
babe.
”

     “Um
,
that was very sweet Kyle. You did great.” Her murmuring voice
made
the hairs on the back of my neck stand out.

    
Kyle’s
only fault is that he loves Sienna to distraction, as do I. If he wasn’t after her like a rabid dog waiting on the sideline when Sienna and I were together, I could’ve taken a liking to him. He and Toby seemed to get
on quite nicely but I can’t bring myself to be civilized enough to make pleasantries when I’m incensed with fury towards he and Sienna. I didn’t even bother looking up at them. I can’t risk it with my current frame of mind.

     Instead, I grabbed my drink and annihilated it.

     The lead
er
of the band who introduced himself
as Will came over to our table and thankfully
drag
ged
Kyle
back with him
to join
them for drinks. “You coming with us
,
foxy?”
Will
asked Sienna who gave him a stunning smile. Yep, the lapping bloke doesn’t stand a chance when she smiles like that.

    
“No thank
s
, I’m staying with my friends for awhile. I’ll catch up with you guys later.” He pouted and placed a hand on his heart. “
H
ow you
keep
break
ing
my heart! Got to dash—but do call me when you’re ready for that date I asked you about! I
won’t disappoint. I swear it.” S
he laughed
throatily
as he
headed
back to Kyle and his friends.

     “Are you going on a date with
him
?” Ivanna inquired. Sienna’s smile died as shook her head. “No, it’
s not like that with Will. He’s just horsing around
.”

     “Because you’re in love with that Kyle over there?”
Ivanna’s choice of words made her
sound
quite foreign.
Sienna glanced at Lucy and back to Ivanna. “Kyle and I have been the best of friends since we were kids, of course I love him.”

     “Sienna…I like that name a lot…don’t you
think so
baby?
”
She glanced at me with an accusing glare.
Ha! She finally figured it out
whose
name I screamed every time I climaxed.

   
Ha bloody ha.

     I
merely
shrugged. “Sure, if you think so.” Sienna gave me a small smile, “How was your trip to Italy?”
Her eyes were rimmed heavily with kohl black liner and it made her eyes stand
out
…
making them absolutely
…
spellbinding
.

    
I looked at her, dead in the eye. My hate/love/fascinated/
violent
emotions drilled into
her with a glance
. She looked perplexed and kept staring at me like she’s seeing me for the very first time. 

     “Fine
,
” I responded
curtly
without much ado. We aren’t friends any longer. No need to chitchat about where to and how to.

     “Uh, that’s good to hear then.” She kept staring at me and bit her lip when I ignored her.

     “Don’t mind Blake love—he’s quite spent from his
E
nergizer
B
unny-like lifestyle
,”
Luce drawled
.
“
Tell me
—did you know that Kyle could
actually
sing? You never let on.” Blimey, the woman seriously doesn’t like me at the moment.

     “He used
to play for me—it was merely a hobby
. What he did tonight was
sweet
,
really
,
”
s
he said with a smile.

   
“Mind letting us
in
on what the ‘promise’ was?” Lucy
asked
giddily.
