Chapter Seventeen

I should've known. Should've known, should've known, should've known better.

The words hammered in my head as I pulled my coat tighter around me. It was a poor embrace, but that was as good as it was going to get.

I was such an idiot. I actually believed her when she assured me she didn't play games. I trusted that she would be honest with me. I thought, for once, that someone would actually be satisfied with just me. That exclusive meant something this time...

I should've known.

I came when she texted, like a dog on a leash. I dressed up to impress her when clearly my only value to her was when I was naked. She lied to me and I gobbled it up like a real wanker.

I couldn't even leave Rainbow Central, because then everyone would know that I got hurt and I wouldn't admit that. She didn't deserve that power over me.

No, I would pretend that everything was fine and have cocktails until I puked the rainbow. Dance with the baby Pussies and make this the most majestic night of my life. Convince myself that Nix was missing out on something great, even if I didn't believe that yet.

"Let's get wasted." I grimaced through clenched teeth and pulled Bab into the club before Nix could cross the street. I didn't want to talk to her and just because I wanted to kick up a tantrum, didn't mean I would. I was an adult, I would behave as such.

Drink until my liver died and cry ugly at home with tubs of ice cream. Just like the grown-up I was.

"Harper." Roses greeted me before I felt the warm hand on my shoulder. Despite myself, my body reacted with goosebumps and anticipation.

I could just keep walking. I didn't want to hear another lie and she didn't owe me an explanation anyway. We didn't even have a proper label for this casual can of nothing. Clearly, this didn't mean anything to her.

"Harper, let me explain."

How often hadn't I heard that? Channing always had an explanation, a reason why she was late or had to cancel. An important business lunch. Traffic jam. Her dog was rushed to the vet. Her sister needed a shoulder to cry on. There was always a reason and I was sick of it.

I turned to face Nix and pushed her hand away. "No. I don't want you to explain. I've had enough of that in my life."

"She's my ex." The brunette ran around me and blocked my way to the bar.

"Move, please." I was already exhausted with the situation and I hadn't even touched a drop of liquor yet.

"Nothing is going on, I promise. She's just trying to stir up trouble, like always. I'll explain, if you let me." Her eyes shimmered with a strange emotion and there was something in her voice that made me stop. "Please don't let her ruin anything else."

Hesitation rampaged through my stomach, fighting to sow the seeds of doubt. Maybe it wasn't what it looked like.
