Read Trying Not to Love You for Free Online

knew he was up to something. He had changed so much for having only being gone a few weeks. "Oh, well, I wish you would have told me last weekend that you were coming home. I could have used some help this morning." I tapped my finger on the door of his car. "So, what did Alexis want?"
    "Sorry, I guess maybe I should have told you. She just wanted to talk about the party last weekend. She asked if I had been there cause she hadn't seen me."
    What the hell! "Why would she care if you were at the party? She's trying to start shit again." The more I thought about her, the more pissed I got.
    "I said the same thing to her." He turned his head to stare out the front windshield. "She was going on about seeing Hunter with his hands all over you, and you guys walking out of the party by yourselves." Then he turned back to me. "I don't care if you did. I told her I trusted you."
    "That's good, because you should trust me."
    "I know. That's why I'm not worried about it." He did not sound very sure of himself. Dominic knew I had feelings for Hunter. He knew what happened between us last summer.
    "Good. Look, I have to go help Hailey pack, and then we are going to lunch with my brothers. I wish you had told me you were going to come home. Let me see if they would mind you coming to lunch too. Or, if you want, I can hang out with you when I'm done."
    "No, don't worry about it. It's my fault. I'm just going to head back. I'll see you tomorrow at school." He leaned out of the window again to kiss me, "Love you."
    After he left, I went inside to help Hailey pack the things that she was taking with her. After convincing her she did not need to pack her whole room, we headed to the restaurant for lunch with my brothers.
    It was neat to get together with them one last time before not seeing them for the next few months. Mason and Cooper could not wait for baseball to start up again. They were looking forward to the parties that would start back up too. Jackson and Chloe were having a tough time coming up with a baby's name; they kept tossing ideas back and forth but could not both agree on any one name.
    After we finished lunch, I dropped Hailey off at her house. I needed to get home to pack the last minute things I had thought of during lunch. Once I was finished, I still had a few hours until dinner with Hunter, so I decided to finish the book I was reading to kill some time.
    Around six, Hunter picked me up, and we went for pizza at my favorite place. It was just a little hole in the wall, but I loved it.
    I put my pizza down and wiped my face with my napkin, "I'm going to miss this pizza. Thanks for bringing me here."
    "You're welcome. So, Dominic is home, huh?" He asked, watching me take a bite of my pizza.
    "Christ! How did you know?" How did everyone know this, and I didn't?
    "I saw him and Alexis together, walking into her house last night?"
    What! I snapped my head up to look at him, hoping he was joking. "What? He didn't come home until this morning." At least that is what he told me.
    Glaring down at his pizza, he said, "No, he was home last night, and he was with her."
    "You must have seen wrong. He wasn't home then." My cheeks were beginning to burn from embarrassment.
    He looked at me for a minute before he asked, "CC, can I ask you something?" I nodded at him. "Why are you with him?"
    "Why does it matter to you?" I wish I was with you is what I honestly wanted to tell him.
    He let out a sigh. "He doesn't treat you right. Why would he not tell you he was home? Why is he even talking to Alexis after all that shit that went down last year?"
    I need this conversation to end; I don't want to talk to him about this. "I asked him about that. He said that she told him you and I fooled around with each other at the party last week. I guess he wanted to see what she had to say."
    "And what did she say?"
    "Hunter." I said with a warning tone. "I can't do this. I can't have everyone questioning my relationship with Dominic. It's my
