Oh god, this was starting to hurt so bad.
“No, it’s not like that.” He stared into my eyes.
"Whatever she's said, it was to cause this. Don't you see that?"
"All I see are the facts. It doesn't matter what she wants out of this. You fucked up, Kit. That's all you. The fact you didn't tell me just proves something. All the crap you've fed me about me being it for you, it's all bullshit."
He shook his head, not having any of it.
“Look, I’ve fucked up so much with you, I know that. I love you so goddamn much, Eves, you gotta believe me.”
I shook my head and pulled away from him.
"I need to leave.Alone."
I tried to pass him, my mind a chaotic mess. I couldn't help but think he was meant to be here tonight with Maddie on his arm instead of me.
“Eves, please don’t do this."
"I didn't do anything! You don't give a damn about me, how could you?"
"I fucking love you! I love our baby. She told you all of that to get you to think I don’t love you, how can you not see that?"
“I know exactly what she's trying to do. It doesn't change that her facts are true. If you know she’s like that then why did you go to her over me? Why did you keep her around? It’s fucking bullshit, Kit, and you’re lying to yourself!”
“Do you hear yourself? How could I possibly want her when I have you?”
“Don’t you dare,” I warned him. “Don’t you dare reel off that crap—speak as if I’m your last breath. I mean nothing to you otherwise you wouldn’t have done this. She thinks you love her Kit, that you just need to realise it!”
“She’s fucking crazy. I should have never involved her with this. I know that now, I did it to protect you.”
“Protect me? By breaking my fucking heart, again?!”
Kit let go of me then and backed away. It shocked me because I didn't think he was ever going to let go and I stood there watching as he growled so fucking loud I shuddered. Thankfully the music from inside the hall was still loud enough to mask it. He held his hand to his head and closed his eyes before opening them and approaching me again. Although I knew he’d never hurt me, I flinched when he brought his hands to the sides of my face.
“Let me take you somewhere far away from here? Just us? Somewhere no one can ever find us?”
“You sound crazy,” I said staring into his eyes.
“Yeah, I fucking am. I’m fucking crazy aboutyouand I won’t let some fucking bitch or as many as ten thousand men take you away from me. I fucking swear it, Eves, you’re mine and that ain’t happening. You're not walking away because of some stupid bullshit she's fed you.No way. Some day I’m gonna marry you and we’re gonna live happily ever after. I fucking swear it."
His words hit me in the chest as I tried not to cry.
“Stop,” I begged.
It hurt so bad. I wanted that with him so badly but it couldn’t be possible with things the way they were. Not after I’d just heard his betrayal from Maddie.
He couldn’t cut ties with a girl I knew nothing about apart from the fact that they used to be a dim flame. Now, I’d found out that they were more than that and that he’d been leading her on, putting his trust in her and pushing me aside to be with her instead of me. Even if they had just drank together as friends and he'd unloaded his stress onto her, he’d still betrayed me by not telling me about it. Why hadn’t he just told me? There was more to it or he’d have just told me.
Lies. Constant lies.
“I can’t do this.” I said honestly, “I need to go home.Myhome.”
Kit followedme back down the red carpet. He didn't stop me but once our limo pulled up he got inside with me. Bob and Phil weren't driving us but Kit nodded his head at the driver so I assumed he knew him. I was thankful that he sat furthest away from me inside of the limo, allowing me some space. I didn't look at him, instead, I sat numb and at a loss as we drove.
Kit sat forward and placed his head in his hands as I ran my fingers over my dress, remembering how good I'd felt after Kit surprising me with such a gift. For a while now, I had suspected something was happening that I wasn't aware of. That something was bothering Kit that he wouldn't tell me. Now, I knew it was either because he still felt something for Maddie, or because he felt guilty for keeping something from me. By confiding in her without speaking to me about it.
What if there was more to his guilt?
