“You think you’re smart, huh?” Tristan snickered.
“Lying fucking bastard!” Grey spat.
“Grey, calm down,” I said, too scared to witness a fight.
“Yeah, calm down,” Tristan said, wrapping his arms around my waist from behind. “You have ten seconds to leave before I call the cops and charge you for trespassing,” he added, leaning closer to my cheek and pressing his lips to my temple.
I took a glance at Grey; his eyes were drilling into where Tristan held me.
“Drop the act. There’s no audience for you to entertain with your filthy lies!”
“Act?” Tristan laughed softly. I could feel the vibration from his body.
I pushed his hands away and shot him a glare. He wasn’t helping.
“You should head home. It’s getting late,” I told Grey.
“What has he done to you, Chlo?” he asked, stepping closer but Tristan got in the way.
“I have stolen her heart,” Tristan said, and Grey clenched his fists, fighting the urge to knock the grin off Tristan’s face.
“I don’t know what you’re up to, but if I find out, I won’t hesitate to tell the whole world the truth, and if you ever hurt Chloe—”
“I will never hurt her,” Tristan cut in, taking my hand. He gave it a light squeeze.
“You’ve hurt her already, you moron. Your lies and—”
“Grey, please go home,” I begged.
“I will be back,” he said more to Tristan than to me.
I watched him walk back to his car.
I pulled my hand away from Tristan’s grasp and entered the house. I went back to my drink. I sat on one of the sofas and gulped the alcohol. I was starting to feel the effect drill through my body.
Tristan stood behind the sofa with his arms folded. There was a long silence between us.
“Look, I’m sorry for earlier,” he said.
“So, how old is Nadia now? Are you still seeing her mother? Why were you kicked out of their lives?” The questions kept flying out of my mouth without control.
I waited for him to say something, but he was quiet.
I looked behind me and found him walking away.
“There goes the typical Tristan, always running away like a chicken,” I sneered.
He stopped and turned around. “You know, I was starting to think this thing between us was real, but you won’t even give me a chance.”
“You left me with no choice! I’m sick of the secrets,” I yelled.
“So, you had to go behind my back? You do that every time and expect me to be cool with it. Well, I hope you’re satisfied now.”
“No, I’m not. I wanna know if you’re still seeing her mother.”
“Why don’t you figure that one out yourself, just like you found out about Nadia?” he said, walking closer. “And to think, I made up my mind to apologize for ruining the birthday surprise,” he mumbled, sounding disappointed.
“Why won’t you just tell me?!”
