Christian Hastington

"You can go home with Christian, since-" Greg said

"I'm fine, I'll wait" Taylor cut him and I rolled my eyes

"Yeah, you can go home with me" I smiled and she glared at me hard

She was being cold to me everytime and I deserved it anyway. After all what I did to her, I deserved it. I never thought seeing her again will be this exciting, it was weird because I thought I was fine without her but it turns out my life got weird.

She's haunting me everytime in my head but I kept ignoring it. Seeing her again in her revealing dress made me boil. I kept looking at her all the time preying at guys who were looking at her.

"You look tired" Greg said and I turned to Taylor. He's right, she looked tired. How come I didn't realize this?

"I'll drop you home" I took her hand and she pulled her hand immediately from me

"I told you I'll wait, I came with him and I'll go home with him" She hissed at me. Suddenly water slowly dropping and it turnes to heavy rain immediately. We went to the side and but still we got drench.

"Here" Greg gave his leather jacket to Taylor and wrapped it around her shoulder

"Thankyou" She smiled sweetly to him and I sighed. Suddenly I felt that I never treat her right, I only sent flowers and visited her sometimes. Seeing someone treated her right in front of my eyes made me don't deserved her more.

"You're freezing cold" I turned to see Taylor's lip went pale and her body was shaking because of the heavy rain. I turned my body and walked inside buying a warm coffee for her. I walked out and saw Greg wrapped his arm around her warming her up.

Being inside will more cold because the air conditioner so we have no choice but to stay here. I walked down and gave her the warm coffee. She looked at me and held it

"I'll take her home" I said to Greg

"No.."

"You're freezing cold! Until when you're going to wait for his car to be repaired. Don't be dumb" I bursted and her and she looked at me disbelief

"Then leave, go home. Why waiting? You always think about yourself Christian, why bother thinking about someone else?" She asked in a really cold tone. Her words got me, she's right

"Never pretend to be care when the truth is that you never care" She added and I turned away from her. She was right, I always think about myself first more than anyone else. Call me selfish for that

I stood up and turned to Greg

"I'm taking her home, I'll call my man to help you with your car. Go home with a cab first then I'll send you your car tomorrow" I said to Greg, I took Taylor's hand and pulled her with me

"Let me go, you bastard" She hissed and I held her tightly. I pulled her inside the building and got into the lift going down to the basement

"Let me go!" She tried to pull her hand but I jept holding her tightly. I opened the car door for her and force her to get inside. I setting the door so she can't open it from the inside. I quickly got inside, I turned to her and she's looking out the window.

I dialed Nial's number

"Hey bud"

"Hey Chris, what's up? My sister is no-"

"She's with me, I'm taking her with me. Don't worry about her" I said and ended the call

"Drop me home, I don't want to be in one place with you!" She said coldly and then she sneezed. I started the car and turned the heater on for her.

I drove out from the building and the heavy rain hit my car immediately. I glanced at Taylor and she's looking outside the window

"Still cold?" I asked but no answer

"Taylor" I called and still no answer. She sneezed a few times and I threw her my jacket but she threw it away again. I drove to my hotel chain quickly so she can wash up.

She opened her phone and dialed someone. I took her phone away and put it inside my pocket. She didn't say anything because she knew it will be useless.

"So now you want to use me again?" She asked coldly and I turned to her

"Use you what?"

"Your needs" She turned to me coldly

"Do you think I bring you to-"

"Isn't that what you always do? So how's Zoe? Is she good in bed?" She asked in a really hurt tone and cold tone at the same time. I scoffed disbelief

"Nice question you got there beautiful"

"Beautiful? You called every woman that" She scoffed and I'm trying to calm my emotion right now. This girl was trying to get my bad side and I need to hold it

I entered my hotel chain and got off the car. I threw my car keys to the valet chauffer. I opened the door for her and she got out quickly. I held her wrist and pulled her inside. I got into the lift and pressed the P for penthouse, just below the rooftop.

I pulled her inside my penthouse and let the grip go. I turned to her and she already glared at me hard.

"Aren't you tired?" She suddenly asked and I turned my body to her

"Tired of what?"

"This? Because I'm tired. Everything between us is over, I wish we won't see each other again except formal occasion because I don't want to see you. It hurted me everytime" She said honestly and I looked away because I can't stand to see the hurt in her eyes

"Let's just go our own ways Christian, you can go back being free and I'll find someone else. Live your life, just like you wanted. Freedom" She said in a really serious tone

"You know I'm selfish Taylor. Even until now I still want freedom but at the same time I don't want you to go to someone else's arms!" I bursted angrily at her and she looked at me disbelief

"You still want me and freedom at the same time? Do you think I'm somekind of backup to you?" She bursted back and that shut me up

"So you want me to be your backup everytime? I'm a human too and I have feelings! Christian.. Please.. I'm tired of drama and you're pulling into one. Just live your life like the way you wanted and keep being selfish because I'm done with you" She sighed and I hate the idea that she gave up on me.

She never fight for me and try to talk to me

"You're giving up on me?"

"I already did since the day we broke up"
