I felt my face grow warm at his words, and I exhaled long and hard. I felt called out for always wanting to please Marco, which was why I had changed out of my first dress this morning to this in looking one.
My stomach was in knots presently over having Zane stare at me right now. I had thought we’d not cross paths again for now at all. Thest time we saw each other was four days ago at that hotel room, whereby we fucked before I passed out, and right now, it was exactly what I was thinking about. About how he fucked ne so deep and hard. My face flushed when our eyes locked again and I wondered if he had thought of that night since we parted ways, or if that was just a mediocre fuck to him. To distract myself from that train of thought, I cleared my throat as I spoke next.
“So, uh… I didn’t expect to see you here tonight.”
He grinned, a small show of teeth that had my heartbeat elerating again as he spoke.
“Why? Are you excited to see me? Or disappointed?”
I spluttered this time while my face med again, then he chuckled softly right before his gaze raked over me once again, which made me feel hot all over.
What did he mean by that question? Was he excited to see me tonight?
His eyes raked over me again and this time, he stepped closer to me, making my breath hitch in my throat as I blinked up at him.
I inched away from him after a couple of seconds, then I tried to gather myself together, but I felt thoroughly shaken to the core. My insides <b>was </b><b>a </bplete mess, and I just couldn’t stop thinking how close we were standing right now, we were so close that I can almost feel his body heat against mine, and right now, I just couldn’t stop myself from thinking about the kind of heated kisses we shared, those kind of kisses which instantly had me growing wet at once, the kind that shook me to the core and made me mad with desire.
Staring at him right now was making me remember what a good kisser he was, not like I could ever forget about that, I just never let myself ever think about that since I returned from Italy. I never let myself dwell on it at all, cause I had already marked everything concerning Zane as banned territory which I mustn’t venture into. However, right now, he was here in front of me, and despite me trying hard to keep myself from thinking about all those sinful things he did to me during the time we pretended to be dating. I ended up doing just that.
I shook my head and cleared my throat to rid my mind of those lewd thoughts, then Lutied to steer the conversation to the safest ce I could right now
“You’re yet to congratte me about me getting together with Marco. You’re aware that we’re now dating. right?” I mumbled, my voice sounding weak to my own ears, and I silently pped myself over the head. I held his gaze as silence stretched between us, then I forced myself to not nce at his lips. Right now, I was imagining him kissing me, and I hated myself for that.
Since I <b>was </b>now dating Marco, I had no business thinking about stuff like that or about how insanely hot he looked right now, that’s just disgusting of me, and that’s exactly why I just said what I did. That was supposed

to remind my stupid brain that I was with Marco, and to also stop Zane from stepping closer to me or trying to do something ridiculous like cupping my face and kissing me right now, cause I just know that should he do that right now, I’d be too weak to stop him.
He arched a brow at me, then he scoffed and stepped even closer to me, making my mouth fall open as I gaped at him while my entire body instantly grew hot.
“W- what are you doin-” I began but he reached out to cup my face, making the rest of my words stumble in my throat as my knees wobbled a little cause I instantly grew weak underneath his touch.
Oh my god… I’m really so pathetic…
“If I congratted you about that, then that means it would be fake because I wouldn’t mean it.” He revealed and my face grew hot as I blinked up at him while my brain short circuited at those words, as my heart hammared away.
“What?” I whispered, feeling like hisrge palm was burning through my skin.
“Did you forget about the promise you made to me four nights ago? At the club?” He continued and I felt my breath hitch in my throat as my mind wandered.
My thoughts were all over the ce, my brain had stopped working since the moment he got this close to me and cupped my face, and right now, I struggled toe up with a response. I vividly remember the promise he was talking about, whereby I told him I was gonna try to move on after I returned back home.
“Uh, I thought the promise didn’t matter anymore since I got back with Marco.” I mumbled weakly and Zane scoffed while clicking his tongue and my face flushed in embarrassment once again.
“You just assumed wrong. When I asked you to find someone better who’d readily kiss the ground you walk on, I meant including Marco,”
When I gaped at him, he rolled his eyes.
“What? Do you seriously think Marco deserves you?” He demanded and I flushed again before pulling away from his hold with the rest of my strength, then after putting a good distance between us, I was able to Breathe a little better,
“Stop saying what you don’t know, Marco does deserve me,” I muttered, but heughed and shoved his hands. into his pockets.
“No, he fucking don’t.”
This time, I scowled at him. “Just, stop cause you’re confusing me! If you believed he didn’t deserve me, why did you help me get his attention and all that for five good days?” I demanded and he shrugged after a few
moments,
“I had <b>to</b><b>, </b>cause convincing you otherwise back then would have been me beating a dead horse situation. I never thought Marco deserved you for a mother.” He revealed and I blinked at him while my chest heaved and my mind reeled.
When I remained silent, he finally sighed as he spoke. “Well, it’s your choice either way. Stay with him if you
want.”

I squared my jaw and folded my arms as I nodded. “Yeah, thanks,”
Weirdly, I felt extremely empty on the inside.

“And thank you though, your efforts ended up paying off, and it’s because of how you helped me get noticed by Marco that we’re together right now, so… thanks, I guess<b>.</b>” I called out just as he was about to leave.
He stopped in his tracks and turned back around, then he snorted, the side of his mouth twitching. “I think I should be the one thanking you instead, cause you helped me achieve something too.”
When he didn’t reveal anything further, I nodded awkwardly.
“Uh, okay.”
When he offered me a handshake, I initially wanted to reject it, but that would only reveal how shaken up I am right now, and so I epted it. His hand swallowed up mine and my stomach clenched tightly as his thumb grazed over my knuckles, making me instantly grow weak kneed, and long after he left, all that I could still think about was him.
Which was why when I returned back into the building and realized that he actually came with a date, I instantly became furious.
