2 hours in a closet with her, and she had unleashed such a burst of passion within him that he felt quite disorientated. But she had also left questions. What if she didn't lie him? Ever? What if she liked someone else? Could he find someone else? Would she stay single until he devised a plan?
Great! Vera was stalking him again! Whenever he turned, she followed. And she made it so obvious. He marched past the football pitches.
"Hey Arty, why are you in such a fowl mood?"
The gloating voice of Darren McKnight floated across the pitch. He spared Darren a glance. Darren's features were only arranged that way when he had gained a girlfriend. "I bet I can guess who he picked," thought Artemis. His brain froze as though it had been punctured with an icicle.
When he reached Erin's room, he noted at once the cologne-drenched note and the chocolates. His fears had been confirmed: Darren McKnight had asked out Erin.
"Erin, you can't go out with him!" The words were out of his mouth before he could register them.
"Why not?" Her tone was cold.
"Because... because... I can't tell you why but you just can't!" he said.
She said nothing.
"I know his type. He's just using you," he said.
"Well I enjoy being used!" she snapped.
"He asked you to go up there with him, didnt he?"
"Excuse you, you're in my way," She shoved past. He knew where she was going. Tears rolled down his cheeks. From now, she would never be the same. And he was right.
