All About Me by Joanna Mazurkiewicz Read Free Book Online

was all about sex — no commitment or attachment. Plus, she was a total bitch to India, locking her in that changing room.
    “ What the hell do you want, MacKenzie? I ’ m not in the mood for your bitching, ” I snap, maybe slightly out of line. I want her to fuck off and give me peace. Right now I ’ m not in the best of moods.
    “ Come on, darling, I ’ m here to cheer you up a little. I heard what happened between you and India, and I want to tell you how sorry I am, ” she says, caressing my arm.
    Her touch only makes me angrier. Who the hell does she think she is? We fucked, yeah, but a long time ago I told her that I didn ’ t want to commit. I glance back at my team ’ s table. They ’ re looking at me, probably wondering if I ’ m going to get back with fucking MacKenzie now. Not one them gets it that she was only there to stop me from thinking about the past. I never wanted to be the same person I was in Gargle.
    “ You don ’ t need to cheer me up. I ’ m fine, and what happened between India and me is none of your business. I told you before to stay away from me, didn ’ t I? ”  
    Maybe I ’ m a total asshole, but, hell, MacKenzie is a snake. She wants to be around me and she is more determined than anyone else I know.
    She frowns a little before she gives me that wide smile, tossing her hair behind her. “ Oh, baby, it ’ s not easy for me to keep my distance. We were great together, don ’ t you remember? ”
    Her hand is still stroking my tense muscles and then all of a sudden, the air in the canteen changes and all the conversation begins to die down. When I glance at the door, my mouth goes dry because India walks in holding hands with that prick, looking relaxed and happy. My chest heaves and I ’ m ready to get up and kill him because he has his sloppy arms around her waist. My reasonable side shouts to stay calm. She is not mine. She never has been, so I have no right to claim her.
    India looks stunning. Her long hair is flowing around her shoulders. Her eyes dart away from the prick and meet mine for a split moment. That smile automatically disappears from her face, and then she spots MacKenzie. The alarm goes off in my head, but it ’ s already too late. India sees her with me. I ’ m so furious with myself I can ’ t even push MacKenzie away. Slowly all the conversation and snickers in the canteen are back, although the tension flares up. My heart hammers in my chest. After a moment, I manage to push away my numb body and move MacKenzie ’ s hand away.
    “ Me and you, it was just sex and that ’ s all. We are never going to be together. I might have ruined my chance with India, but no one else ever will be good enough. Just leave before I lose the last bit of control that I have left. ”
    Her eyes dilate, but that smile doesn ’ t disappear from her face. She has a reputation to preserve. “ Too bad. I thought that we could at least help each other. After all, you are single. ”
    She doesn ’ t wait for my response. Instead she gets up and walks away, shaking her arse. My knuckles are white, I ’ m squeezing them so hard. This is so fucking typical. I came here to prove to India that I ’ m grieving after her, and now she ’ s seen MacKenzie with me.
    “ Hey, man, I see that you ’ re working our girl again. I was planning to ask her out, but I guess I ’ m going to step back, ” says Terry, one of my teammates, loudly enough for everyone in the canteen to hear.
    That is it! I get up so fast that he can ’ t even anticipate my next movement. I ’ m just about to smash my fist into his face, but then I freeze. I glance over at people. Everyone is staring at me. I can ’ t keep losing it. I let go of Terry and stroll away from the canteen, hearing whispers in the background. My breathing is laboured and I stop for a moment by the stairs in an attempt to slow down my racing heart. I need to back off a little, start controlling my temper and emotions. Jacob is
