Chapter Twenty –
Kate's POV:
Meanwhile…..
Kyle looked deep into my eyes as he spoke to me, his fingers entwined with mine.
"I'm really sorry Kate; I don't know how to say this in the least hurtful way possible. But I just don't think that we're working out, we're not right for each other anymore. I don't know how it happened. I'm so sorry…."
"Wait a second! You're breaking up with me?" I interrupted in shock.
"Well yeah I don't know what's happened to us, I just don't seem to make you happy anymore. I think that this is best for the both of us" he said looking at me sympathetically.
To hell with that! I don't need his fake sympathy. I don't need him at all!
"Yeah fine. Whatever." I said angrily getting to my feet.
"Wait" Kyle grabbed my arm "I don't want to leave us on a bad note; I mean we're still friends aren't we?"
I just gave him the dirtiest look I could muster and pulled my arm away. Turning on my heel I exited the Starbucks, trying to walk as if I didn't have a care in the world.
Who am I kidding? I've just been dumped by someone I never even liked. Who I'd only been going out with as a distraction from…. other things.
I supposed it was a good thing, in a way, that me and Kyle were finished. I was sick and tired of pretending that Kyle was something that he wasn't. Sick of pretending that every time me and Kyle had done it that it was him that I was with instead. It was him that was filling my thoughts every hours of everyday.
But I couldn't have him, because he happened to be in love with one of my best friends.
Yep, step forward Danny Jones!
I was through with pretending that what I felt for Danny was mere attraction. It didn't stretch as far as love oh no. Lust was maybe the right word. But whatever it was something was there. Something that hadn't been there with any of the other guys I have dated. Certainly not with Kyle!
'If only he could be mine'
