His Nerd

Chapter Twenty Five

I shake my head still not being able to wrap my head fully around it. I was devastated. That's no lie but I forbid myself to be a home wrecker

I look back at Mason and gently smile at him

"I'm getting there" I answered sincerely 

He smiled at my response before grabbing onto my hand that was resting on the table and tracing his thumb around my knuckles

"You know I'll always be here for you right?" 

I look at his hand on mine and felt a sudden urge to remove it but I didn't want to hurt his feelings so instead, I gave him a tight-lipped smile

------------------------

School was over and I was on my way to the cafe with my new novel resting in the passenger's seat

I park the car and hug the book to my chest as I enter the cafe with a small smile etched on my lips 

I look around for either Ben or John and to my disappointment see neither 

I made my ways towards my normal seat when all of a sudden my breath gets caught in my throat and I freeze

Oh no no no

Adrenaline pumped through my system as my heart feels as if it's one beat away from exploding. My mind begs me to run away. To turn away. But my body goes against my mind as it refuses to let me as I stand still staring at him with eyes wide open. There he was with two other men talking...

His nearly black hair styled upwards as his grey eyes were narrowed at the man sitting across from him. His thick eyebrows creased together while his lips formed in a thin line. His hand began rubbing his defined jawline nodding his head and I'd be a fucking liar if I said he didn't look damn sexy

All of a sudden, his eyes rise up and instantly connect with mine

his grey eyes slightly widen in shock at seeing me and that was enough for me to get my senses back and head out

I hurriedly walk through the door when all of a sudden.. I realize something

Why am I walking away? Why am I running away like I did something wrong? I thought creasing my eyebrows together

I shouldn't be the one feeling embarrassed or guilty

No

He should

With that, I take a deep breath and turn around and walk towards my seat

I felt his intense gaze on me but completely ignored it as I positioned myself in my chair and opened my novel

--------------------------------

For the past hour, I have felt Blake's gaze on me and it's been burning my skin

The more I feel his gaze on me, the more irritated I become

Why are you staring at me? Go stare at your fucking wife 

I grind my teeth against each other as I continue to feel his penetrating graze

Having enough, I lift my eyes away from my novel to him not being surprised that he was already staring at me

I glared at him only for him to continue to stare at me with a blank expression

I feel my blood boiling as I close my eyes and take deep breaths in and out to calm myself

I open my eyes to see him still staring at me openly 

I mouth 'stop' to him only for him to yet again ignore me  

I glare at him huffing and angrily smack my novel closed and get up to leave

In the back of me, I hear Blake excuse himself causing my eyes to widen and my legs to take wider steps

I do NOT want to talk to him

Do you know who he should talk to though? 

HIS

FUCKING

WIFE

As I open the door and exit from the cafe, I feel hands wrap around my wrist forcing me to turn around and surprise surprise

There's the devil

Here we go again
