“Of all the places you could've set, why did you book that place?” I asked Irea the next morning at work.

“M-Ma’am?”

“Did I tell you I wanted to confess my feelings? Or propose?” My voice was low, but sharp enough to make her gaze drop to the ground.

“Wh-What? I really don't understand what you're saying, ma'am.”

My lips pursed in irritation. “When I asked you to get a place, what did I say I wanted?”

“To thank him.”

“And where did you send me?” When she still looked confused, I rolled my eyes.

    – Lisa Red –I sucked in a breath, frustrated hand dragging through my hair while my heart slammed hard.This was just bullshit.Total bullshit!“Have you lost it?” I growled, feeling a headache grow, because tell me what the fucking hell actually just happened. Leo really dropped on one knee and asked the question.THE question.“You were going to say yes?” Drex asked, staring at me like I'd just stabbed him. “Lisa, how…? Why on earth would you do that?”My teeth gritted.Obviously I wasn't going to say yes, but he didn't know that, and for the fact he just thought he could decide any shit for me only added to my already frustrated self.An ache dragged up my chest as the sight of Leo on one knee replayed in my head. It left me feeling irritated. At him.At myself.So I decided to direct my anger at Drex, because dang it, all of this was somehow his fault one way or another.If he hadn't kissed me, then I'd not have any reason to tell Leo I loved him.Now he just had to worsen thin

    – Drex Drane –I hadn't seen Lisa since the kiss and it was tearing my sanity.Oh but of course the world had to worsen my mood, because the moment I headed back home from the office, a female I would rather not see stood by the gate.My jaw clenched tight as I came to a halt, then got down.“Why are you here?” My voice was stern, but she didn't look the least affected.Instead, Cassie hurled a glare my way as she growled, “You really had the guts to let that bitch take me, Drex? Are you kidding me?!”“You should be in prison, tell me how the hell you got out?”Her fist clenched. “Does that even matter now?”“Yes, it does.” I knew the chances were low, but I had to be sure she hadn't escaped prison.Cassie rolled her eyes. “David and aunt pulled it off somehow, now let's get to the fact that you watched as she had those jerks cuff me!”My jaw locked as frustration welled up inside me. I really didn't want to deal with this shit.“You're being so unfair!” She cried. “I'm your girlfrie

    I stayed with Leo a moment longer, before leaving his place to the drug store where I bought and took the pills, then drove to Rachel's house.The entire ride, I figured I felt worse than I had before coming to his place.My chest was so tightened that it started to hurt.A different kind of guilt washed over me, and the worst part was that I didn't even know why.I didn't know if it was because I'd told Leo I loved him even though I clearly didn't. Or something else.“Lisa!” Rachel was the one who opened the door, and she surprised me by throwing me in a hug.“Uh… what's wrong?” I asked, brows raised.The smile she offered only succeeded in confusing me further.She wasn't mad at me anymore?I walked in, and she followed beside.“So, a little birdie told me someone finally said the words. The real words!” She beamed as she spoke, and my brows furrowed in response. “You talked to Leo?” So soon? It hadn't even been up to an hour and they'd already gossiped about it?I had to hold back

    – Lisa Red –My fingers still trembled even after Drex had left for over an hour already.I couldn't sleep.How on earth would I when I just realized that I'd made the most stupid mistake ever.Kiss?I actually allowed Drex to kiss me. And I kissed him back!All night, that was what ran through my head. The kiss haunted me, and when dawn broke, I felt more crazy than I did before.I should've stopped it. Heck, how was I so stupid to not have.I could've stepped back. Pushed him off when he started to lean. Done anything ‘but' close my eyes!My fingers dragged through my hair for like the umpteenth time as I recalled the feeling, and one thing rose up in me.Guilt.Because Leo came to mind. My promise to him.“No.” I shook my head, muttering under my breath. “The kiss was a mistake.” It was just the mood. The way it had been. I hadn't cheated on Leo. I hadn't broken my promise.I didn't have any emotions towards Drex. All of that died so many years back.Leo was my boyfriend. He was t

    – Drex Drane –I wasn't sure how it happened. Or what the hell even happened.All I knew was that as she held the ugly doll I'd made, fingers brushing at its sewing, something in me twisted.The same thing that happened when I stood in her kitchen the other day.Then, I'd almost lost control. Standing so close, and the tension around made me almost forget that I planned on taking things slow.I'd controlled myself soon enough, but now… Now I couldn't.Not with how softly she'd said, “Things like this make hating you hard.”It struck right at me. Without a second thought, I leaned close, half expecting her to pull back or do anything.Instead, Lisa's eyes closed.That was enough permission.My hand moved into her hair, tilting her head up so our lips met.Hers were wet and just as succulent as I remembered.It drove me back to the moment I realized I loved her.Our first year anniversary. She'd arranged a romantic dinner, and for the first time, we shared a kiss that actually had mean

    I stared at the food long enough for him to add, “It's not poisoned, you know?”My brows dipped and I returned my gaze to him. “What's this about?”“As I said already, you've clearly not had lunch. Eat it.”“What's it to you if I've not eaten?” I asked with a sneer and he only offered an expressionless look.“You'll likely wake up ill tomorrow, and trust me, I don't want to have to take care of both you and Imogen, so why risk it?”When I still wouldn't take the plate, he stretched my hand out, then dropped the plate on it. “Don't be stubborn.”I frowned, because I knew this was no case of stubbornness.Just that small touch and goosebump already trailed up the arm. This was being cautious, not stubborn.My stomach, however, didn't care about any of that, because the sight of something good made it growl.When I stared at Drex, I could tell he was biting back a smile, but he looked away.With a disappointed, but hungry exhale, I took a bite, then another.It wasn't the best food I'd
