Dating Delaney by K Larsen, Wep Romance, Wep Fiction

the better looking guy…but Jake seriously out-hots Gavin on
all fronts.
    “Laney,” he growls at me, “the way he looks at you is why
the term ‘eye fucking’ exists.”
    My breath hitches and I don't know whether to feel extreme
irritation or feel worshipped.
    “Laney, let’s go!” Gavin calls from the bottom of the
stairs.
    “Ah, okay well, I guess I have to go. So…you’ll call if you
need anything right?”
    Jake looks a little stunned at how I’m leaving this but I
don't know what else to do.
    “Yeah,” he grunts.

    Becca’s text catches me off guard. How on earth does
everyone know everything so quickly!?
     
    Gavin’s in town?
     
    Jesus, word travels fast. He got in last night.
     
    Sleep at your place?
     
    Yeah?
     
    What’s MR Attractive think of that?
     
    I huff at her reply and quickly respond to it.
    Why would he think anything?
     
    You’re dating!
     
    Correction we’ve been on one date.
     
    Whatever. Gavin screws all your relationships make him
stay with his mom.
     
    Untrue. The guys I pick screw the relationships.
     
    You’re gonna make him stay at his moms right?
     
    I’m really put out by her persistence but like the sap I am
I take the bait.
    Since when do you care.
     
    Since MR Attractive showed up
     
    Fine. I’ll tell him to stay at his moms. Why are you on Mr
Attractive’s side
    anyways?
     
    Good girl. Because he’s the first viable MAN you’ve ever
dated.
     
    ‘Whatever.’ I respond and toss my phone down.

 
    Jake
    “How’s it going up here?” Sue greets me.
    “Hi, Sue. It’s coming right along,” I reply, hoping she
doesn't stay long. I’m not in the mood for chitchat at the moment.
    “Where’s Laney? I need her help with something.”
    “She’s out with Gavin,” I tell her through gritted teeth.
    “Gavin’s home! That’s great!”
    “Yeah,” I mutter.
    “Ahh…great for Gavin, but not for you. I’m on to Gavin.
Don't you worry, he’ll be back to California before you know it and Laney has no
idea how he feels about her. She’s blissfully unaware that they are
anything but friends. You have nothing to worry about,” she informs me.
    Geez. Who said I was worried? Everyone seems to need to talk
about Laney today. Is there a full moon tonight because today feels like today
has bitch-slapped me and it’s only noon.
    “Ah, thanks Sue,” I say. She pats my arm and walks away.
    “Hey Sue!?” I call.
    “Yes?”
    “Do you think Laney would mind if I build in a closet on her
side? I noticed the plans for the room don't include a closet.”
    “She didn't think there would be enough room for it so she
was willing to forgo one, but I’m sure no woman would ever be mad at you for
giving them a well-placed closet.” She smiles at me and continues down the
stairs.
    Then a closet she will get.

    Molly blows up my phone and I’m not sure after the
inquisition I’ve already sustained that I can take any more.:
     
    Gavin’s back?
     
    Yup. I reply.
     
    He’s not staying at your place right?
     
    What the hell people?
     
    You have a soft spot for him
     
    I’m dropping him at his moms soon I inform her so she
can stop badgering me.
     
    Phew! Good
     
    Why is it good? Explain please
     
    Duh, Cause Mr Attractive is not the kind of guy to share you
with Gavin
     
    Share me?
     
    What do you think everyone else you’ve ever dated has had to
do?
     
    I repeat... share me? Did they all share me with you too?
     
    Totally different. Gavin has a penis and is hot
     
    I hate all of you today.
     
    What did I do?
     
    Nothing never mind. Dropping Gavin off, getting Claire
and going home.
     
    Bye
     
     
    What is it with everyone? Granted, the last two times Gavin
came home I wasn’t seeing anyone, so what would it matter, but why is everyone
getting all worked up now that I’ve had one date with an attractive man? I must
be in an alternate universe. Honestly, do they know something I don't? Why all
of a sudden is Gavin the bad
