We spend about an hour in the first store alone. Alice made me try on a million dresses, but none of those were the one, as she put it. And she wasn’t lying, she really does love shopping.

As we enter the second store, I have this horrible feeling deep in my gut. I don’t know why, but it feels like something bad is going to happen. I do my best to swallow the feeling down as I go through the racks, but then I see him.

Warren appears out of thin air like a ghost haunting me. My stomach starts to twist into tight knots. Hiding behind the rack, I peek up over it. I’m half tempted to run out of the store, but then I remember I’m here with Alice, and she’s somewhere at the back of the store.

Shit. I’m just going to have to sneak past him and pray that he doesn’t see me. Moving slowly, I casually walk behind the racks toward the back. When I’m about twenty feet away, I spot Alice, but she isn’t alone. Parker. Like a damn cancer, that devil of a man has entered my life, eating and taking every single good thing with him. I’m drowning in all his evil, and I don’t know how to swim.

Stopping in my tracks, he smiles at something Alice says, and then as if he can sense me watching him, he locks eyes on me. Dark and piercing, I find it hard to breathe being trapped in his steely gaze. My chest rises and falls, but no air enters my lungs. Why can’t I breathe? Why does he have such an effect on me?

Knowing I’m watching him, he leans in closer and whisper’s something into her ear, and though his eyes and attention are on me, something that I can only describe as burning jealousy forms in my gut. Why? Why am I jealous? It’s obvious that’s what he wants, but I shouldn’t care in the first place. I shouldn’t care who he sleeps with or flirts with. But you do. A voice nags at the back of my brain. Alice laughs once more and responds to whatever it is that he said.

Fuck him. Fuck this. Sneering at him, I let jealousy guide my next move. Turning on my feet, I’m ready to stomp out of the store, but my steps are cut short because right behind me is Warren. Like an all-American golden boy, he stares at me, his muscular arms crossed over his chest.

“Jealous?” He grins, cocking his head to the side to inspect me.

“No,” I lie through my teeth. “I was just leaving.” I try to push past him, but he steps in front of me once more. All over again, I feel trapped.

Warren shakes his head, disappointment marring his features, “Aren’t you here with Alice? It wouldn’t make you a very good friend to just leave her here, now would it?”

Before I can come up with a response, I can hear Parker’s voice coming closer.
