“Hey babe,” I greeted casually, pulling her closer to me like I owned the moment.
She jerked away from me like I was poison. “Don’t touch me.”
The guy looked at her, then at me, confused.
“You didn’t tell me that you had a boyfriend,” he remarked slowly, each word filled with suspicion.
“No, I don’t,” she cut in quickly… too quickly. Her eyes snapped to me with a glare that couldn’t burn skin, and damn… I couldn’t stop the disappointment from creeping in. She was so quick to deny me… wow. “He’s nothing to me,” she added sharply, and it felt like a dagger was being pushed through my chest.
I smirked, but the anger twisted in my stomach. “Great,” the fucker grinned, a big smug smile plastered on his lips as he gave her a quick nod. “Later, Ava.”
“Bye, Isaac,” she called sweetly as he walked away.
Issac. His name was Issac. Fine, I’ll remember that. And I would make sure to deal with him later.
“Who was that?” I asked, turning to fully face her.
“Fuck off, Kye,” she threw ohert her shoulders, shoving past me. “It’s none of your fucking business.”
“It is now,” l called after her, voice like steel. “From now on you have a boyfriend. And that’s me.”
She flipped me off without turning back and I followed. I didn’t say, instead I walked faster and I grabbed onto her hand before I turned her around and kissed her hard on the lips.
She struggled against me and tried to talk but I only kissed her harder. I had no idea why… or maybe I did, but I wanted to ruin her plans for tonight with that idiot.
So when I pulled away from her, I didn’t wait for her to talk before I did. “I got us tickets to go see a movie,” I grinned, gently running my hand down her arm. “We’re going out.” That’s a lie.
