I wonder how he found us, but then I look across the booth and see them all posting to Instagram and Facebook. Guess that answers my question.
“Hi,” I mumble.
“You left,” he states and I swallow hard.
I look up, meeting the hard glares of Taylor, Chloe, Nikki, and Kaitlyn. There are even some random women around the club who are now shooting me dirty looks as well.
Great.
“Why?” Declan asks, leaning closer to me.
“Hey, Declan!” Chloe purrs, getting up and coming around so that she can sit next to him.
I don’t know how to feel about that. On one hand, she did just buy me some time from having this talk with Declan, but I hate seeing her hands on him or having her anywhere near him.
Taylor is smirking at me, loving that her friend is hitting on my husband right in front of me.
Tears start to well in my eyes and I regret not having left earlier. I could be safely tucked in my hotel room with my Kindle, surrounded by fried cheese and ice cream.
Chloe lifts her hand, intending to straighten a button on his shirt and I gape when he firmly pushes her hand away, scowling at her.
“Keep your hands to yourself, please.”
Chloe’s jaw looks like it’s about to hit the floor and I turn to see that Taylor, Nikki, and Kaitlyn look the same way.
“What?” Chloe asks, recovering quickly.
She leans in, pretending that she didn’t hear him and he scoots away from her.
“Don’t touch me,” Declan says, firmer this time.
Chloe looks furious now, her eyes narrowed to slits as she looks my way.
Uh oh.
“Why? Cause you wanther? You would really pick some ugly, chubby little wallflower over me?” she screeches, running her hands down her rail thin body.
“In a heartbeat,” Declan states, wrapping his arm around my curvy waist.
I sit up straighter in my seat, sliding closer to Declan because I have a feeling this is all going to go sideways fast.
Maybe he really does want me. Maybe this isn’t some mean prank or some whim for him.
I’m trying to wrap my head around that, but his next words shock me to my core.
“I love Emma. I don’t want anyone but her.”

Declan
I turn to Emma,my heart racing as I take in her delicate features. Her eyes are wide and locked on my face, and I can tell that I caught her off guard.
I hate myself.
Emma should have been the first person I confessed my feelings to. She should have known how I felt about her from the beginning, but instead I was afraid of moving too fast and scaring her off.
Instead, I kept my feelings locked down and almost lost her anyway.
