NovelEnglishAvery's pov It's been two days since I last spoke to Xade. Yes, I am counting the days because we have never not spoken for this long before. The only twe do not is when we are busy during classes or on dates.
Two days without speaking to him and I am miserable. It's night, and Mel and I are stuck doing our papers. She's biting the tip of her pencil and lets out a loud sigh after a while.
"Let's go out tonight." I pushed up my glasses and looked up at her, pointing at the papers in front of me. "Busy." She rolled her eyes. “We both know you can get this done in a few hours and it's not due until like next week. Con, I need a wing woman tonight." She's been in a slump since earlier and though I have asked her about it, she toldit's nothing to worry about. I doubted that it was just something to sweep to the side. However, it was clear tothat Mel didn't want to tellwhat was going on.
A wingwoman?" I raised a brow, wanting her to elaborate without straight up asking her. She did.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I-Xade and I are on a break again," she confessed. Her words made. my heart leap and for all the wrong reasons. I shouldn't feel happy about this. God, who have I turned into? Like a breakup?” I murmured, hoping the happiness I felt didn't seep through my words. How can I be such a hypocrite? Melissa frowned, her lips working into a pout. "Not a break up, just a break. We'll get back together soon enough anyway." Those words madeball my hands into fists and I hide them by playing with my shirt. This was Xade's shirt, one that had been his favorite in high school. He had given it tobecause it had gotten too. small for him. I have always worn it to bed, it somehow makesfeel safe.
Melissa threw herself back on the bed and let out a strangled groan. "I just don't get why he just suddenly said we should stop. Like before he'd just ki*s a random girl and I'd get the idea. But he actually opened his mouth to tellwe need to stop." I bit my lip, looking away from her. Her words maderealize how much I am a fool to be gloating about them breaking things off. Xade has always been a womanizer. I am a fool to think they broke up because of me.
Xade probably hatesright now and is disgusted, no wonder he has been avoidinglike the plague.
So we need to go out to that frat party tonight. I will dress the f*cking sexiest I have ever and get super wasted, ki*s a random guy and have you take the picture and send it to him. Maybe that will get him to finally see me." With a huff, she sat back up and gaveher most awarded puppy dog eyes.
I couldn't say no. The least I could do for her is this after being the world's most terrible friend. So I nod and she squealed, flying across. the room to hug me." Thank you babe! You can invite Kyan too." I cringe. Hell no.
Xade has been avoiding me, but I have been avoiding Kyan. I made up plenty of excuses to not spend much twith him. Because let us face it, I can't face him after what I had done. And it's not only because of guilt but because I can finally accept that Kyan and I were missing something.
I didn't have that burning passion or craving I felt with Xade that night. Kyan doesn't invoke these feelings in me. Instead, I am repulsed or squirmy with him. I just had to figure out a way to break up with him.
"I don't think Kyan will be up for it," I lied. Kyan would definitely be up for it.
Mel pulls away. "Oh please, Kyan loves to party. Besides he can bring Xade along," she winked. Make it easier for him to seeand get jealous," she gripped my arms, " Con, do it for me," she pouted. once more until I caved.
Twenty minutes later and Mel and I are sneaking out of the dorms to head for the party. I am dressed in a red body hugging dress that reaches my mid thighs and finished it off with red tie up heels. Mel on the other hand had a very short sparkly dress and knee high boots. She will certainly capture a lot of males attention that's for sure.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDid you text Kyan to meet us there?" she asked.
I nod. "I did." Though I wish I didn't. But maybe a good tis all he needs before I break off things with him.
"Is he bringing Xade along?" Her voice is breathy with hope. Unfortunately, I'd be the one to crack it.
He didn't say." I shruggedd didn't think Xade will show up if he know I am attending. Or maybe he will and will avoid me. I am not sure I can survive him ignoring me. I swallowed, blinking back frustrated tears. Thankfully Melissa doesn't notice my mood and fishes out her phone with a huff. So stubborn." she gritted and stopped a young girl who was passing by. She looked confused at Mel as Melissa pushed the phone in her hand.
Snap a picture of us." She ordered the girl and move over to me, om throwing her arm over my shoulder NO and striking a pose. “Smile babe, we look hot," Melissa smirked as the girl snapped the pictures.
I am sure I look awkward as hell.
When the girl gives Mel the phone back, she swiftly types something on her phone. am sending this to Xade. Let's see if he can resist not coming now after seeinglook so tempting."
