I knew the back of his head and the way he stood fro him so much in the past He was ridiculously pretty, but God, he was an asshole I was done with all that Besides, I didn’t need to date a man as quite possibly prettier than htened and turned to facesmile that won him whatever he wanted spread across his face, and for once, I didn’t want to slap it or kiss it I was just done with it That was a relief One I needed The knowledge eous," he said He put his hand on my waist and pulled me closer to kiss me, but I stepped away We weren’t on those ter that he’d think that was all it would take to get us there

That in itself was annoying There were sowhen you stood back and really looked at the whole picture I had been so wrapped up in the few preciousto overlook everything else This was all before Gannon, though I wasn’t that easy to please anyry with me I deserve it, but I want to fix it" He looked coh to soften me up I didn’t like to make him sad He seeularly

"I’m just done with you We tried It didn’t work Why keep trying?" I said, using a well-rehearsed bitch face and tone I was a pro at this Covering up my emotions so no one kneas hurt had been my superpower since I was a kid

I sat on the outside end ofhim no option but to sit across froht they’d lost you, they suddenly wanted you? It was a ga wasn’t a ga I liked that about hiiveto be?" he asked I was forced to make eye contact with hieous blue eyes on earth, and I was only a wos

"There’s no chance to give If you want to eat, chat, and remain friends, I am completely on board with that, but you had your chance You were very careful to make sure I kneasn’t serious or exclusive between us, and then you showed ain Guess what? I got it" It felt good to tell hi atable to just blurt it all out and not care if he never spoke tooff my chest
