Mila cheeks are bright red.
She shakes her head.
“You’re a liar,” Mila says.
I laugh. “Yeah, I am. I did ask for that but Willow is tough. She won’t give it up.”
“I thought you were just good friends or something? You didn’t have that spark with her?”
“Does that bother you, Mila? I mean, if Willow and I had that spark? Would it irk you? Make you crazy? Drive you insanely jealous?”
“No, Jax. No.”
“That’s a lie. You’re lying to me now.”
I move closer to Mila.
She doesn’t move away.
I gently reach for her and touch her arms.
“It’s okay, honey. I swear, it’s okay. We can figure it all out.”
“No. You don’t get it…”
“Get what? Huh? Willow already told me how a certain person feels. I guess he’s mad at me? Is that true? He can’t talk to me man to man, huh? What does that make him?”
“Jax,” Mila snaps. “Just shut up for a second. Stop talking. Stop… being a dick.”
“Wow,” I say.
“What do you think I’m here for? Huh? To confess my love for you? To tell you I want you? To beg you to throw me over your shoulder and take me to Willow’s bed? That would be the ultimate thing, right? You fuck me in my boyfriend’s sister’s bed. Oh, Jax, yes. Please. Do it.”
Anger climbs across her face.
My jaw tightens.
She then swallows hard. “I needed to see you in person for a reason.”
“Well, here I am. You found me. So why fuck around, right? Just say whatever it is you have to say.”
“I wanted to talk to you face to face.”
“You have more balls than your boyfriend does.”
Mila slaps me across the face.
She knows I’m not wrong, but I totally respect the slap.
My cheek burns for a few seconds.
“Listen clearly,” Mila says. “We can never talk again. Okay? Never. I’m making that very clear to you. Listen to my words. We. Can. Never. Talk. Again.”
Mila stares me down as she backs up toward the door.
I don’t need to process the words. I’m capable of hearing and absorbing.
“You don’t mean that, honey,” I say as she leaves, pulling the door shut behind her.
