But.
Jake.
His deep ocean eyes lock with mine and it happens all over again. I become a prisoner to his gaze. To his overwhelming power.To him.
I’m his.
God, I’mhis.
I’ve always been, I’ll always be.
Something flashes in his eyes before they move to my shoulder and back to me. But this time, they’re hard. Only now do I realize Xi’s arm is around my shoulders.
So that’s why my ass didn’t hit the floor.Xi was keeping me balanced the whole time.
Time?How long has it been that I’ve seen him? Two minutes? Two hours? I’ve lost all sense of time, space, and everything in between. All sense of myself.
I shake my head as I shrug off Xi’s arm, but Jake is already looking away.
No, no.Wait!
I take a first step, ready to grab him and force him to look at me. Talk to me. To explain myself. To ask all the questions that have been on my mind in the past two months.
But there is no third miracle.
I freeze when his hand lands on Billie’s chin in a gentle grip. Her big brown eyes look up at him, and in a split second my whole world crashes down.
He lowers his head, pulling her face up to him at the same time, until their lips gently touch and my heart breaks in a million pieces.
A wave of nausea comes crashing until a shape comes toward me. Nathan posts himself right in front of me. His hand comes on my shoulder, and I barely manage to look up at him. He’s saying something but I can’t even hear him.
“What?” My own voice resonates in my head.
I think I’m really drunk.
“I said…” his voice joins the echo of my own, dancing together in my head to some techno-electro music. Am I drugged or something? Everything is so fucking blurry.
Language!I hear my dad’s voice in my head.
Language!This time it’s Rose’s voice.
Ugh. Fuck the Whites.
‘Maybe In The Summer’ by Sassy 009. I giggle at the fact that I still recognize the music despite how dizzy my whole world is right now. If I can recognize Sassy 009, I’m definitely not drugged.
“Hey, ‘Me.” Nathan’s deep voice grounds me again and my eyes refocus on him.
“I saidwhat?” I articulate very clearly. Or at least I think I do.
You go girl. Fuck Nathan.
“And I said, party over for you. I’m taking you home,” he fumes.
“Fuck off.” This time Rose’s voice is real. “We’re having fun. And you’re here. You’ll keep us so,sosafe, won’t you?” She laughs drunkenly and I laugh with her.
“Ozy, I’m not joking around. You’re both going home.Now.”
“Ugh,” I groan loudly. “Nathan, Nathan,Nathan.” I pause and enjoy how both he and Rose are waiting for what’s coming next when I don’t even know what it is. “Fuck you, you misogynist piece of…crap.”
