“Because if I take you away from our parents' watchful eye, I might just end up doing something I shouldn’t.”
I stare at him in shock.
He nods once. “Understand?”
“But I thought… I thought you hated me?”
He snorts. “I’ve never hated you, Luna. But to be fair, you’ve never made life easy for me.”
I can’t fight him on that, but still, he acted like such a douche. Until that night at the mall.
His face changed when I berated myself and the thought of how he came into my changing room still thrills me to this day. He made me stand there and say nice things about myself before he left. Who does that? Has Thomas always been like this underneath, and I’ve never seen it?
He has no reason to be fake-nice. None at all. We could just go on like this forever.
“I want you to admit something,” he says, his voice low.
I nod because I can’t speak right now. He’s holding me too close… too tight… I can feel…. everything.
“That night, in the closet…”
My mouth parts, and I see him snicker.
“Y- yes?”
“Did you like it?”
I frown, and when a flush comes over my cheeks, he tilts my chin up to face him.
“Answer me.”
I swallow hard. “Yes,” I admit. “I liked watching you.”
His nostrils flair. “Have you ever been with a guy?”
I roll my eyes. “With a body like min-” I stop.
His eyes turn furious. “Don’t make me angry,” he warns. “And the fastest way to do that is to put yourself down.”
I can’t believe he’s saying these things.
“No,” I clarify. “I’ve never…done stuff like that.”
He gives me a chin lift. “Good. Keep it that way. College kids, they’re only in it to get to the next pussy, Luna. It doesn’t mean anything to these guys. They have a different girl in their beds every night.”
“Like you?”
He doesn’t answer.
“Like you, Thomas?” I prompt.
“Just listen to what I’m saying. I’m trying to help.”
Help? This feels like I’m in an alternate universe.
My eyes go wide, and I can’t help but ask, “Would it mean something to you?”
He frowns. “What?”
