V was on my other side.
“If you want to kill her, please tell me. I’d love to help you,” she whispered in my ear, but I couldn’t smile.
“I might do it,” I whispered back.
Finally, Harris’ shock wore off and he grabbed her hips and gently pushed her off of him. Gently?! I wanted him to punch her in the face … oh, wait, I would have done that.
She paid no attention to his reaction, still looking at him with loving eyes.
She whimpered in astonishment and covered her mouth with her hand.
“Baby, you took off your contacts,” she purred, almost jumping for joy.
Harris bit his lips in stress, lost in thought, as my blood pressure rose.
“I’m glad you finally listened to me,” the blonde smiled and braced herself to kiss him again, but he wouldn’t let her.
My face sank.
In my head I was running furious laps like a crazy cartoon character. Obviously, Harris wasn’t going to say anything, why ruin his chance to kill two birds with one stone.
V snorted beside me.
“You’re getting more pathetic by the second, Amber.”
The blonde looked at her in disgust. That’s when she finally acknowledged me.
“Oh, how nice, Violet. You found yourself a friend who’s just as weird as you are.”
V growled beside me, and I could sense the danger in that sound. Aside from the fact that she was much taller than Amber, she was now wearing a top that exposed her stomach. She had real muscles, toned like a fighter.
“What can I say, I’m glad Harris is finally dating a cool chick. And if you really think he took off his contacts for you, you’re even dumber than I thought.”
She put her arm around me. I was sandwiched between her and Jay, who seemed to keep me from having any bloody reaction.
Amber fumed as she looked at me, then turned to Harris.
“What, Harris? You don’t want me anymore?” she asked, looking at him through her lashes with a sweetness that turned my stomach.
V pretended to throw up.
He looked at her, frowning.
“Harris,” she whispered again, fixing him with a passionate gaze, “this means a lot to me,” she said, touching the tattoo on her neck, “if you don’t want me anymore, there’s no point for it, so I’m going to remove it.”
I noticed Harris’ frown deepen. The conversation was getting really interesting. Jay, V, and I focused on the two of them and I got the impression that they were ready to stop any aggressive reaction coming from me. That, or they were actually trying to push me towards Amber. I think Jay would have a lot of fun watching a catfight.
“No,” Harris replied simply.
My mouth dropped in shock and something inside me suddenly snapped
So he still wanted Amber, but he was also toying with me. Fucking lying bastard!
I should have known. Everything was logical from the start. I sensed that V was just as shocked as I was.
Harris seemed to want to continue, but Amber turned to me with a triumphant face. I clenched my fists in anger.
I wanted to leave, to disappear, right then and there.
