For the next ten minutes, we did what anyone else would do when they felt awkward – we played on our phones.

I scrolled Imgur absent-mindedly, the gifs of cats and memes a blur as I swiped down with my thumb. I wasn’t sure what Gavin was looking at, and I didn’t want to risk glancing over and making eye contact.

But one thing was for sure – the more the adrenaline wore off, the less comfortable I was in his presence.

The last time we’d spoken I’d told him in no uncertain terms that I wanted him the fuck out of my life. And I’d meant it, too. The time before that, I’d been crawling out of his bed, looking at the smug smile on his face, like everything was going according to plan.

However, he was sitting right next to me in some antiseptically lit waiting room, swiping through his phone like he didn’t have a care in the world. I had no idea what the jerk was thinking about, whether or not he cared how I felt, or even if he thought the whole thing was funny.

The guy was hard to read and had a way of hiding however he felt below a layer of smug, self-satisfaction. That was Gavin summed up – I wanted to kiss the guy and smack him at the same time.

But I had no idea what to say or do. Why did he want to sit with me? Did he think we were buds again or something?

Hell, what did I think? I was uncomfortable, but was it because of him or because I had a torrent of emotions running through me that I didn’t have the slightest clue how to deal with?

And he wasn’t helping. God, maybe if he were to say something diplomatic like “do you want to be alone?” That’s what a normal, sensitive man would say. But Gavin wasn’t sensitive. And he was hardly normal.

Someone had to say something. And with each second that passed, I was sure it would have to be me. Swallowing my pride, I cleared my throat and spoke. “Listen…”

He didn’t take his eyes off his phone, chuckling to himself. He furrowed his brow, but still, he didn’t look up.

Irked, I asked, “I’m sorry, am I interrupting your meme time?”

“Check this one out,” he said, showing me his phone. “It’s a series called ‘cats where they shouldn’t be.’ This one’s on a ceiling fan.”

I didn’t even bother to look at his stupid cat meme. “Are you serious?” I asked. “Or are you just trying to piss me off?”

“What’s your deal?” he asked. “The last time I saw you, you told me to screw off and get out of your life. How am I supposed to react when we’re together like this?”

I had to admit, the jerk had a good point. It was just as difficult a situation for him to navigate as it was for me. I was the one who’d made the big proclamation. And that meant I had to be the one to offer the first terms of the peace treaty.
