chapter thirty-three

I cannot believe I saw Jonah again at Build-a-Bra. I didn't think I would see him at a time like this when my life is going downhill now. Although, how I ended the conversation by punching him in the face and telling him about how I have found pleasure who works better than him. It was completely random of me to say that, but I couldn't control what came out of my mouth.

It was a joy though to see his reaction from what I said and just leave him there dumbfounded.

It was for the best.

However, seeing him again made me think of how our relationship started and how we were so happy, or so I thought. There were complete lies that I fell for because I was so stupid to look at his flaws during five years of being together.

I've learned my lesson about trusting guys... but the only guy I trust is Freddie, and we're not on talking terms at the moment.

What he did last night made me feel confused. Why would he tell me about his feelings and then say he's in love with me after all this time? It doesn't make any sense of why he would keep it hidden. I mean, I know I would say something if I knew how I felt about him... Because I told him pacifically how I felt about this whole thing last night and showed how serious the whole conversation was. I couldn't possibly be falling in love with the man I met when we were in babies, practically threw up on each other.

It's absurd, ridiculous, horrifying.

What else is there to feel about this situation?!

"Sam?"

I snapped out of my thoughts and perked my head up trying to figure out who said my name.

"Sam, hi!"

I scanned around and realized I'm still at the mall next to Build-a-Bra where I'm laying my back against the glass window where people can walk by and see the female mannequins wearing undergarments. I don't know how long I've zoned out. My mind goes to the voice that called me a minute ago. I turn my head to my right and see a woman with black hair, wearing a black jacket with a red scarf around her neck, and her cheeks are rosy from the cold weather. I took a good look at her face and realized who it was...

"Are you shopping for Christmas presents too? Ugh, I hate when I procrastinate during the Christmas season because I have to rush and I do not like rushing." Carly giggled as she shows the three bags she's holding in her hands.

Can my day get any worse?

"Hi..." I said as I clenched my teeth staring at her with my body boiling.

"How are you?" She smiled with her perfect eight shades of pearl white teeth.

"I'm uh... I'm good." I give her a small smile while turning my heel about to walk away from the black head.

"Sam wait!" I stopped and turned back around facing her while my face is blank. "Um... do you want to hang out with me? I know you and I just met, but I thought it would be fun to get to know each other." She smiles, but it doesn't reach her eyes as a small crinkle appears between her eyebrows.

I stare at her trying to decide if I should just walk away or actually get to know the girl I have bad feelings over. It shouldn't be a problem getting to know the chick you want to slam her head into a window, right?

"Uh... sure we can hang out," I said dryly while bringing my smile out.

"Awesome!" She wraps her arm around mine as she looks down at our hands and halts to a stop. "What happened to your hand?" She asked questioningly.

I look down at my hand and saw what she was talking about. My knuckles are slightly pink and swollen when I punched Jonah in the face. It doesn't hurt as it was before but it does look like it can hurt in the morning if I don't put something on it to make it better.

I turn my gaze at Carly and stumbled words to make it sound like I didn't just punch my ex-boyfriend in the face after seeing him for the first time in a while. "I... hit my hand... on a shelf." I scoffed.

Way to make it sound believable.

She nodded her head gradually but still kept a doubtful look on her face. "Do you need something to help with the swelling?"

"Nah, I'm fine." I shook my head with a fake smile.

"Oh okay... well, let's go!" She drags me along to the escalators to go to the bottom floor. She is talking about something random in fast speed while I just stood there looking at her confused on how a perky girl like her can come up with so many subjects to talk about.

Let's see how this ends up.

Alright, guys, I have news for ya. Since I don't have classes today because it's Good Friday, I am going to upload TWO chapters today because I'm feeling nice. XD

So I don't know if I should upload another chapter next Friday because of the already two chapters uploaded today.

I don't know! Give me your thoughts, and I hope you're still enjoying reading this book! :D
