"I am sorry if that is why you're mad. I have just been really preoccupied." His tone was soft, which made me even angrier.
"I can see that, with Melissa and the way that she has her hands all over you."
"Is that what this is about? Melissa?"
"No." I was not willing to admit it. "It is not."
"Seems like it, because you sound very jealous right now."
"Me? Jealous? I think you have it wrong. Don't get too cocky. There is nothing about you that I have to be jealous about."
He raised his hands in surrender, letting go of my hand.
"If that is what you claim, then that's fine, but that doesn't explain the reason why you up and left."
"I didn't think that you noticed. I thought you were very preoccupied with Melissa."
"Melissa again? And yet you claim that this isn't about her."
"Oh my goodness. The point is flying over your head."
"I fail to see the point because you're not making any. I made assumptions, but you clearly stated that I was wrong. Then what do you want for me?" he asked.
Good question. What do I want from him?
CHAPTER13
GEORGE
Iwatched her chest rise and fall in anger. I might be crazy because even then she looked so cute when she was hungry.
I was as confused as anyone could be. I didn't think that she'd get mad at me for not coming to say hello to her. I thought that she would have understood.
I knew that Melissa was in my space a whole lot. I knew how the woman could be. She came on to me and told me about her feelings a few times and I had to put her in a place. Even with that, I know that she tries to flirt with me one way or the other. I just didn't think that Kat was going to take offense with that.
I watched her, waiting. She needed to choose her next words carefully, because I was a breath away from grabbing her and kissing her. We were shielded by large rocks along the side of the beach. No one would notice anything if I decided to follow my primal instincts and take her right then and there against the rocks.
The thought of that alone nearly made me come undone. She did things to me that no one else did. Her presence invoked a new level of desire in me that I did not know I had and every time I was alone with her, I could feel my resolve start to wean, and it was so close to breaking.
I wonder if she was as passionate as she looked, how responsive she would be to my touch, what it would sound like to hear her say my name in the thrills of passion.
My thoughts were starting to wander too far. I brought myself to the present.
"I'm waiting for an answer," I said to her. "What do you want from me?" I repeated.
"I already told you what I want from you and you've already told me that you can’t give it. So let’s move on.” That made me angry. The feeling hit me out of nowhere, my hand balling into fists. Her saying that she wanted to move on from me rubbed me wrongly. Yes, we're not in anything official because we were not seeing each other, but I thought that we had something going. I thought that she was starting to understand where I was coming from, that I could eventually get to be with her without the rules of a relationship like before.
"Melissa means nothing to me."
"Oh, really? Because I invited you here. I thought you were going to be with me. I thought you were going to be smiling with me, but instead you're with her."
"Again, Melissa means nothing to me. She came onto me and I've put her in her place and she understands that more than anyone. You seem to be the only one who doesn't get it. I came here for you. I came here to see you. I don't do these hangouts, I told you that, but I came for you. You are that important."
"You are right. I don't get it. It could be because I am too young for you."
"You cannot use those words against me, okay? You have to understand how uncomfortable it makes me feel. You have to understand the conflict that is going on inside of me. This is new territory for me as well, Katrina." I stepped back, running my hands through my hair.
Only she could make me say the things that I didn’t want to say. I did not express my feelings. I was very good at masking them, but this woman is infuriating and yet, she’s intriguing in such ways that I can't help myself. Everything that I was doing was wrong. She was Lily's best friend. That was more than enough reason to stay away from her.
