Boom.
I grabbed the first thing I saw, which happened to be the roses Bradley sent me and chucked them at his head.
Of course, he ducked and was in my face in three strides. Backing me into the wall, he caged me in with his arms next to my head.
I didn’t back down, holding my chin higher in defiance. “I’m not scared of you.”
“That’s interesting because I’m terrified of you. How could you keep him from me?”
“I didn’t. He’s not yours.”
“You’re lying. You want to know how I know?”
“I don’t want to know anything. All I want is for you to leave. Now!”
“You blink when you lie.”
“I do not.”
“You do.”
I groaned in frustration, shoving him away, but he didn’t budge an inch.
Fucking quarterback.
Despite my refusal, he kept talking. “The first time I figured it out was when you told me you didn’t want me to kiss you. You were lying then, and you’re lying now.”
I shook my head, perplexed by his statement. “How do you even remember that?”
He swept the hair away from my face, placing it behind my ear. “I remember everything about you. From the way you couldn’t look me in the eyes when other people were around but I had your complete devotion when we were alone. Or how I couldn’t graze your skin without your face getting flushed, exactly the way it is right now.”
“If my face is flushed it’s only from you pissing me off!”
“You want to know what I remember the most?”
“No.”
He ignored my response, stating, “The way you taste in my mouth. How wet you’d get when I’d barely touch you.”
“Stop it.”
“Stop what? Telling you the truth?”
I couldn’t process everything he was confessing fast enough. It was like one affirmation after the other. He was blowing my mind, and I hated him for it. All I wanted was to be part of his life, and he was so adamant about making sure I wasn’t.
For years he’d played me like a fiddle, and I’d stupidly let him. If he thought he could just show up out of nowhere and be everything I’d ever wanted, then he had another thing coming.
I wasn’t that girl anymore.
He made sure of it.
“My absolute favorite memory of you was—”
“I’ve heard eno—”
“Is how you lit up my world with just a fucking smile.”
