Keep up with the reviews and I'll keep up with the chapters! :D
Chloe POV
"I was just...I was just um...just um..." Damn it, Chloe! Think of something!
"Going to see Brian," Alek says, eyes narrowing.
He must have heard. God, I hate Mai hearing sometimes.
"Yes. Exactly." I say, voice clear and confident. No point in lying now...Besides, in his mind he shouldn't have a single argument. I've told him time and time again that I wasn't going to stop talking to Brian, so why should he think tonight is any different?
"Why?" he asks in his most deadly voice. The voice that makes my goosebumps do jumping jacks on my skin.
"None of your business," I try answering in the same tone, but fail miserably. It ends up sounding shrill and defensive.
He takes a step towards me and leans over me against my car. I'm trapped between the car door and Alek's chest.
"Chloe, stop playing games. You know I heard you talking to him on the phone, which means I heard you say my name."
I look at him in the eyes and try to keep my voice as level as possible. "I was saying you wouldn't want me to go because I know how jealous you get."
"Jealous? Me? Pfft!" He exclaims, voice incredulous. He releases me and takes a step back. "You just flatter yourself to no end, don't you, Chloe King? Newsflash-not every boy you meet falls head over heels for you."
Ouch. Why was he acting like this? Like we never had that conversation about him liking me, twice.
"I never said that, Alek..." I answer slowly.
"You know what? Have fun with Brian. Maybe even kiss him again, eh?"
Now he was just being stupid. Either he was saying he didn't care if I did, which kind of hurt, or he wanted to watch Brian die again. Neither option was exactly attractive. I glance at my watch quickly to see that I'm already five minutes late to meet Brian.
"Listen Alek," I say then look up. But I'm too late. He's gone.
Alek POV
I can't think straight. My mind is a blur of red flashing fury.
Bastet! She gets me so frustrated sometimes!
She honestly thought I was jealous of that scrawny, pathetic, hat wearing loser?
And where the hell does she get off assuming I still like her?
She thinks she's got me on some kind of hook. I admitted my feelings and she toyed with them, keeping them locked away in case her first choice didn't work out. Saying lies about how she needed time.
Well if she can't see that we're meant to be together, that's fine with me. Let her play around with the human and learn what the word consequence really means.
Two can play at this game, Chloe King. I've got my own set of toys.
