It’s been three years since I’ve laid my eyes on her.
It was the day she walked away from me. The day she didn’t give me a chance to explain. No, she condemned me, like every other person in my life has.
It hurt.
It hurt so fucking much.
She was supposed to be different.
She was supposed to be mine.
And in the end she was just like everybody else.
My throat works as I swallow the bitter taste left on my tongue and allow myself to take her in.
She looks the same, but at the same time, different. More mature.
All that gorgeous hair is falling down her back in loose waves. I watch it sway as she tilts her head to the side and tells something to an unfamiliar blonde woman sitting opposite her, before she turns to the guy next to her and smiles at the dude.
Jealousy, hot and heavy fills my chest. I tighten my fingers into a fist, feeling my nails dig into my palms.
The guy is sitting in a dark corner so I can’t see his face. Who’s he to her? A boyfriend? Lover? Husband?
Just thinking about it makes my stomach twist in knots.
It doesn’t matter. She’s not yours,I try to reason with myself.Hasn’t been for a while.
“Miguel?” In the distance, I can hear Lucas demand my attention, but I can’t force myself to look away.
Before I get a chance to decide what to do, she turns her head, scanning the space.
I hold my breath as her gaze moves over me, like I don’t exist, but not even a second later, she whips her head back, doing a double take.
Those hazel eyes widen, a dozen different emotions flashing on her face in quick succession. Surprise, panic, hurt, longing, anger, love…
One moment they’re there, out in the open, the other one they’re gone, an unfamiliar mask shielding her face.
“Rebecca.”
