The Devils Son//Payton Moormeier

Part 43

~Payton's POV~

S: do you like me?

I just froze...

I refuse to look up at her.

P: w-what are you talking about

S: like, do you like me as a person

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding

P: oh, yeah of course, why?

S: answer the question

S: ...

P: you think I'm using you?

S: come on Payton. You gave me many reasons to believe you would
