My soul was crushed in four seconds flat.
She’s not my type.
I was good enough for Pie to fall into my bed, but I wasn’t good enough for him to tell anyone I was his type.
That hurt like a bitch.
I kept telling myself that I my feelings weren’t attached to Pie, and we were just having fun, but I was lying to myself. My feelings were very much involved, and Pie had just crushed every one of them.
I ducked into the bathroom and closed the door behind me, then threw the lock and turned to press my back to the cool wood.
How could I be such an idiot?
For two weeks, Pie had been sneaking over to my house to spend the night with me, and I had thought he was coming because he liked me. I guess he did like me, but not enough to tell anyone.
Lord have mercy, I was an idiot.
How could I have even thought that I was someone who Pie would be interested in? I was overweight and nothing to write home about. Sure, I could cook, but so could a ton of other people. My ability to cook was the reason why I was overweight in the first place.
I scrubbed my hands down my face and sighed. All it took was a sexy wink, and I was under Pie’s spell. A spell he only wanted to put on me when no one else was around.
Idiot.
Fool.
Stupid.
Naïve.
There weren’t enough words to say just how dumb I was.
A knock sounded on the door, and I jumped. “Uh, yeah?” I couldn’t even have a moment in the bathroom to myself?
“You know where the mustard is?” Murphy asked.
“Mustard?” What in the hell did they need mustard for? I had laid out all the fixings for meatball subs and three salads. Mustard wasn’t needed for any of the food.
“Yeah. Ziggy or Zag wants it for his sub,” Murphy chuckled.
I took a deep breath and opened the door. Murphy took a step back and held up his hands.
“I think it’s Zig and Zag,” I corrected him.
Murphy shrugged. “Whatever. One of the dumbasses wants the mustard.”
I rolled my eyes. “I’ll get it.” I just needed to focus on cooking for Pie and the club today, and then, he would just be a memory.
One day with him in my world and everything would be back to normal.
After today only work, and no Pie.
No. Pie.
