- Chapter 1
- I was momentarily stunned.]
- All I could do was awkwardly fumble around.
- I didn’t dare look at Leo, and after pushing him away. I grabbed my clothes from the floor and threw them haphazardly.
- “Chloe, look at me,” Leo said, propping himself up on an elbow, his eyes full of amusement.[]
- “You don’t actually think we’re, like, a couple, do you?”
- on
- The words “just a casual thing” echoed in my mind. My hands were shaking, and I couldn’t get my bra clasp to fasten.]
- Leo threw back the covers, revealing his lean, toned abs, and half–knelt at the side of the bed.
- He reached out, his fingers familiar as he did up the clasp for me.]
- I looked down and mumbled, “Who is she?”
- I let out a bitter laugh. “Don’t tell me you finally decided to ask someone out seriously?”
- Looking at myself in the mirror, I could see the red marks scattered across my skin, my legs still aching.
- Leo, wearing only grey sweatpants, came up behind me and buried his face in my neck.
- “It’s Layla.”
- He raised a brow with those striking hazel eyes and repeated.]
- “You know, Layla, from the art department, the one from college.
- “Honestly, I’m kind of hervous to see her again.”
- My hand, holding my lipstick, froze. Of course, I remembered.[]
- Leo had a crush on her. He never confessed, then heard that Layla had gone abroad
- I had thought that was all in the past…
- Leo stared at me, pursing his lips. “Chloe, you better not be getting any weird ideas about me.]
- “We’ve known each other forever, practically grew up naked together. And even though you are… really pretty, I just see you as one of the guys.]
- “You’re my best buddy for food, for rides, for well, you know…“]
- I felt like I’d been hit by a train. My body went cold. I forced a weak smile as I looked at Leo’s grin.Leo kept talking.]
- “Besides, I know exactly what you’re going to wear. Even down to your underwear–I could probably guess the set you’d pick.”
- “Honestly? It’s kind of boring.”
- “Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night and see you sleeping next to me, and it actually freaks me out.”
- “I mean, what if we actually ended up getting married because of some stupid joke–just like our families used to tease about?
- “Can you imagine? My whole life, over in the blink of an eye.”
- He gave an exaggerated shudder.]
- As if the mere thought was terrifying enough to make his skin crawl.
- I dug my nails into my palm, clenching my fists so tight it hurt–desperate to keep the tears from falling.
- “There are some other things to do so I need to leave first. I’m so sorry.“[
- I threw on my coat and left in a hurry, stumbling out like a coward running from battle.
