CHAPTER THIRTEEN

2019

TERRY

I was feeling smitten with him.

I was trying to tell myself that I wasn’t, but I didn’t want to be naïve. I really liked him. I had almost been unable to control myself around him, kissing him, as if I didn’t know it was a bad idea.

But he had respected my wishes.

Even though I could feel how much I wanted him, and more than that, I could feel how much he wanted me.

And he wanted me so much. I could tell how much he wanted me, from the way he looked at me, from the way he kissed me, from the way his body felt under my own. I had wanted to keep kissing him.

But I didn’t, because he pulled me away, and because he was right. He knew my terms and I had, in effect, rejected him.

I couldn’t help myself. I probably shouldn’t have. I should have welcomed him with open arms. In fact, I should have probably been okay with casual relationships. All of my friends were, so it made no sense for me not to be.

I sighed as I looked at myself in the mirror. I had more important things to worry about, including my residency. And definitely the fucking lawsuit because it was the only thing that should have been pulling my attention away from it.

I had purposefully stopped getting in touch with Noah, though Noah had texted me several times just to touch base, to ask me how I was doing, to say good morning or good night. I hadn’t exactly ghosted him, but I hadn’t engaged in any long conversations with him. I was trying to keep myself away from him.

But it was time to meet with the lawyers again and I was going to have to see him whether I wanted to or not.

I arrived at the lawyer’s office earlier than I had to. When I got out of the car, my eyes widened as my gaze settled on something I could hardly believe.

There was Noah, across the street from where I was, and I could see the female lawyer talking to him, flirting with him. I told myself not to be jealous, but I couldn’t help it. She was looking up at him, her eyes wide, and she was giggling. She took a step toward him and I noticed that she picked one foot up off the ground as she did so. She touched him lightly on the chest before she giggled and moved away from him.

I felt white hot rage building up in my stomach, all the way to the top of my head, when I saw her. I didn’t want to be angry, but I couldn’t help myself.

He didn’t kiss her, but his hand moved to her face and he moved a strand of hair away from her face. He smiled at her as she giggled.

I couldn’t watch it anymore. I couldn’t even look at her, at them. I couldn’t get annoyed at the fact that he was flirting with someone, but I knew there was no reason for me to be upset.
