What in the world had I just fucking done? Who the fuck acts that way when someone tries to strangle them? No one fucking normal thatâs who. When Iâd felt his hands wrap around my throat my mind went blank, I was so sure my anxiety would rise throwing me into a panic attack, but it never came. Which made no sense, he had his fucking hand around my throat, and all I could think of was that I wanted to kiss him, so I fucking did it. And I couldnât honestly say I regretted it; the guy knew how to kiss for sure. But I had forgotten we had an audience which made the situation about a hundred times more awkward.
I couldnât help but stare at him with pure confusion, this situation was nothing short of fucked up. So hot and heavy that I didnât have a fucking clue what to do, so I decided to do the one thing I knew I was good at, shut the feelings away and act like it hadnât happened and just hope to God heâd do the same, I mean it was really unlikely he would, but a girl could try.

I was shaking with anger, but they all just stared at me with dazed looks, they either were really fucking good at lying or they had no idea what I was saying. Atlas stepped back from me looking shaken from my outburst but didnât speak, he just looked to Caliban and shook his head as if he had no idea why I was acting so hostile, knowing I wasnât going to get any answers from him I turned to Caliban with a venomous glare.
