CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Roman’s thunderous gaze never leaves me, his chest heaving with barely restrained tension. I don’t give him the satisfaction of my fear.

“You’re becoming the bane of my existence, Hinch,” he murmurs softly.

The words naturally come out but there’s no venomous sneer, no curl of his mouth to show his disgust. It’s a quiet statement, hidden with an emotion I can barely make out.

His famous temper is normally always on display, especially when he’s around me. Before it was mostly Madison with her acidic taunts and pushes and shoves while Roman always stood on the sidelines, his cold stare doing enough damage to my self-esteem. But for the last month or so, he went out of his way to make me feel his presence.

“You have no idea how much I feel the same way,” I say.

Roman stays quiet and the tension annoys me more than anything. He dragged me here in this classroom, like some sort of ragdoll, and he expects me to sit here and take his verbal insults.

“I humiliated you, didn’t I?” He says. “What happened that night…It was supposed to be so easy. Have Kyle stand you up, covering you in that gunge…it all went to plan.”

“Congratulations,” I say biting. “Now move.”

He exhales angrily under his breath, running his hand through his perfectly combed hair. “So why can’t I stop thinking about you?” He almost shouts. “Why do you never leave my thoughts? Got any wise cracks for that one? Huh? Answer me that. Why won’t you leave me alone?”

Oh.

My.

Go-

He’s lost it.

No, don’t get emotional Ken.

Don’t fall for this trap.

He’s trying to find your weak spot.

I push around him, trying to get out but he’s blocking my escape. Damn him and his six foot tall stature. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Let me out.” I say impatiently.

“Where’s your fire gone, Hinch? Did that bravery fizzle out?”

I don’t hesitate, casting my furious gaze to his; his eyes never let go, holding me immobilised, trapped in his presence. There’s an intensity in that searing gaze. He’s searching for something - something that I don’t want to give him.

“You have a habit of intimidating girls or am I special?”

His eyes twinkle in faint amusement. Not the vicious, fake veneer of joy when he sees a victim plunge underwater; no, he’s actually amused. He finds this situation funny.

“You think you’re special?” He says.

I narrow my gaze. “I must be if I’m on your mind. Tell me, did I give you a sleepless night, Johnson?”

Roman tilts his head. He leans forward, watching intently.

Fuck.

Okay.

Abort.

This isn’t going to plan.

My goal was to make him uncomfortable but turns out he’s flipped a reverse card my way, making me regret opening my mouth in the first place.

“You gonna let me out or not, Johnson?” I say indifferently but I’m still nervous as hell. He’s still Roman Johnson, the guy who goes out of his way to make me suffer and this faux confidence can only take me so far.

His face falters. “Where are you going?”

Away from you.
