10 True Self

Leah glanced at me and she nodded excitedly, happy that she get to have a conversation with him, “Uhm…yes..”

Ajax’s jaw clenched at that, “I know you are not close with her so don’t push yourself. I’m warning you.”

I blinked at that, my eyes instanlty snapping to Ajax who was dead serious. Leah on the other hand seemed too shocked to even react. It took her a few seconds to process it before clearing her throat, “Uhm..excuse me?”

Ajax raised his eyebrows, “Yes?”

She gulped, “You’re rude. I am just trying to-”

“You’re wasting every second I get to have a date with Ellaina.” Ajax said firmly, his tone saying he does not really want to tolerate Leah any further. “Don’t bother finishing your sentence. Leave.”

And watching Ajax defend me like that made my heart skip a beat.

No, wait a minute…no….just no, Ellaina. You are just getting yourself in trouble.

Leah, who was too stunned to reply now, glanced at me as if asking for my help.

I shrugged, “You heard him. Leave us alone.”
