MELODY
My breath hitches when my eyes meet his. For the first time in my life, I see something others whispered about. That Easton Ledger has a dark side. He was popular, sure, but not by choice.
He didnât have to work for it. Easton always had an air of confidence or maybe itâs more an I donât give a fuck vibe. He never gave a shit what others thought of him when we were in school.
I ignored the things I heard about him because some of the girls spread some nasty rumors about me when I first got to Bradford Prep. They wanted him for themselves, but he never gave them the time of day. I think thatâs what made them the maddest.
I remember the first time I saw Easton. I was passing the library when I got a tour of the school. There had been a few girls trying to flirt with him and a couple others at his table. He ignored them at first before becoming visibly agitated and telling them to get lost. The annoyance was written all over his face.
The only other time I saw the dark side to Easton that was whispered about was the day he punched Bobby when he had me cornered in the hallway against my locker. Easton came out of nowhere. I guess some things donât change.
Because once again, Easton is in front of me, appearing out of thin air. I canât help but feel the same way I felt all those years ago. My heart pounds in my chest. So many emotions flow through my body. I keep throwing them at him, but he bats them away. My iced coffee is still dripping from his suit. If I wasnât so mad, Iâd laugh.
So many memories come flooding back to me. Theyâre more vivid now with him sitting here. My heart aches for the life and time I lost. The memories are a stark reminder that heâs not my Easton. Iâm not sure who this man is. What if this was him all along and I never knew?
âWhy are you here?â I try again to get some sort of explanation from him. To figure out exactly why heâs chosen to come back into my life.
âI let you get away with a lot, Melody, but Iâm not going to answer that question. Itâs insulting. You know why Iâm here.â I swallow, my body buzzing. I know why I want him to be here, but thatâs not reality. He no longer belongs to me. Our story doesnât have a happy ending.
âEaston, itâs been five years,â I remind him. I want to tell him Iâm not his to take, but I canât bring myself to say it. Even if I did tell him I want him six feet under.
âYour point?â He pulls off his suit jacket to wipe off some of the coffee that I tossed on him.
âEaston.â He closes his eyes as though heâs savoring me saying his name.
âSay it again.â
âFuck you.â
He smirks. âPlease.â Why does that one word hit me so hard?
âEaston.
