Chapter Sixteen

Okay, so maybe I was a bad person, because the amount of pleasure I was having in getting ready in Adam’s room while Megsy sat awkwardly on the side of the bed with her drink really satisfied me.

“So, you sleep in here?” she asked a little tentatively, trying not to seem surprised.

I glided the straightening iron through my long blonde hair and shrugged. “Yeah, all the time. It’s the perfect place to crash after a Saturday binge,” I said matter-of-factly.

I could see Megsy in the reflection of the mirror; she was looking at the unmade bed next to her, probably thinking how small it was for just two people, and a little smile spread across my lips.

Megsy’s eyes skimmed around the room, across the carpet, the clothes on the chair in the corner, up to the ceiling, down the wall before stilling.

“Ha, he took down his Jimi Hendrix poster,” she said, causing my smile to fall.

How did she know about that? When had she been in his room? Adam hadn’t been living at the Onslow when they dated in high school, what the actual …

I smelt burning, “Oh shit,” I stammered, releasing my hair from the hot plates and waving away the smoke. Great, I had nearly set myself on fire, wouldn’t she just love that?

“Well, I think it was Chris’s; he was more the Hendrix lover than Adam so makes sense.”

“He must have just done it, because it was here last weekend,” Meg said, matter-of-factly.

Last weekend, huh?

Trying to keep my cool was not a natural thing for me to do; I had always been troubled with having a hot head, and given any normal circumstance I would have probably retaliated. But I knew what was at stake here, and if Megsy was going to lay down a challenge then I had to be smart about it. If she thought she could simply disappear from Adam’s life after breaking his heart only to return and try and pick up as if nothing had changed, well, I had news for her.

“So, are you wearing that? Or are you getting changed before the party?” I asked innocently, revelling in Megsy looking over her attire.

“No, I’m wearing this,” she said, her brows lowered.

I spun around in my chair, flicking my extra straight hair over my shoulder.

“Oh, okay, cool.”

“Why? Do you think I should change?” I could hear her words laced with doubt.

“Oh no, look, it’s fine, seriously, I’m sure it’s going to be pretty casual. There will probably be lots of tradies and mechanics there dressed in jeans and flannel, if I know the Onslow Boys’ mates.”

I could see the light dim in Megsy’s eyes; I couldn’t quite tell if it was hurt or anger, but it was definitely something. It was like I was suffering an out-of-body experience, that I could hear what I was saying, but I had no real way of controlling just how bitchy I could be. Tess would never in a million years treat anyone so badly, I could just imagine her wide-eyed horror if she was a witness to me now.
