Second Chance Scandal

“No.”
He ignored my response, stating, “The way you taste in my mouth. How wet you’d get when I’d barely touch you.”
“Stop it.”
“Stop what? Telling you the truth?”
I couldn’t process everything he was confessing fast enough. It was like one affirmation after the other. He was blowing my mind, and I hated him for it. All I wanted was to be part of his life, and he was so adamant about making sure I wasn’t.
For years he’d played me like a fiddle, and I’d stupidly let him. If he thought he could just show up out of nowhere and be everything I’d ever wanted, then he had another thing coming.
I wasn’t that girl anymore.
He made sure of it.
“My absolute favorite memory of you was—”
“I’ve heard eno—”

Her eyes widened, taking in every word I was saying. For a minute, I forgot how fucking furious I was with her. Getting lost in this consuming connection we’d always had from the first time I’d laid eyes on her as I watched her step out of her mom’s car from my bedroom window.
She was angelic.
Captivating.
Fucking perfect.
“What do you want from me, Jax?”
“You know what I want, Soph. It’s what I’ve always wanted.”
“I don’t even know what that means.”
“Stop pretending like you don’t know me.”
“I’m not pretending. I don’t know you, and I never did.”
“That’s bullshit, and you know it.”
“I want you to leave.”
“I’m not leaving until you tell me the truth.”
“I already did. He’s. Not. Yours.”
Hearing her lie to me so easily wasn’t something I was prepared for. Instead of continuing this back-and-forth argument, I decided it was best for me to go.
I warned her.
What happened next would only be her fault. Her eyes never left mine, waiting for my next move. She had no idea what she was in for. This was only the beginning.
