“Fine. Stop following me then.”
To my surprise, Jax stops. He folds his arms.
Just like that? He’s done…?
“Really?” I ask.
“Really,” he says.
Now he’s being stubborn and cocky.
I start to walk again.
I hug myself.
Out of nowhere I think about someone with a knife jumping out of the trees and coming after me. Someone with the curse from the movie.
I know it’s all fake but I have chills racing up and down my back.
I stop and turn.
Jax is still standing behind me.
I quickly run to him.
I grab his shirt. “Don’t be an asshole right now, okay?”
I give a tug but he resists.
His hands suddenly grab for my hips.

JAX
I have my hands on her hips for a few seconds.
There’s a moment there, just fucking lingering.
She knows it. I can see it burning in her eyes. It’s written all over her face too.
“Better get you home, Mila,” I whisper.
“Yeah,” she says.
That’s when she grabs my wrists and pushes my grip away.
I’m respectful. For now.
I open my hands and she turns to walk.
I walk alongside her again.
This time the silence has way more meaning than either one of us probably intend.
“How about that movie?” I ask.
She looks at me. “Killer.”
