“Must be some magic pussy for him to abandon his best friend on a day like this.”
“I guess that love wasn’t as unrequited as I thought,” he whispers.
Daniel’s attractiveness pisses me off more.
Daniel levels him with a pointed stare. “You and your girlfriend kept us up most of the night with your little show.”
“Alyssa lost her father and just moved into a new place. Her best friend, the one person she should’ve been able to count on, was too busy screwing his girlfriend to realise she shouldn’t be left alone. Of course I was there to console her. The question is, why weren’t you?”
“Go ahead. Call HR. I’d love to see how that goes. Go ahead and tell them Mrs. Devereaux, your wife, is harassing you.”
“Tell me you’ll be mine for as long as we’re married, Alyssa. Promise me you’ll be mine like I am yours.”
“Oh, that… yeah. To be honest, I didn’t expect to walk around half-naked today or I would’ve told my girlfriend to behave. She wasn’t pleased with a decision I made recently. We had a disagreement and worked through it… vigorously.”
“I don’t want him even thinking about you,” he snaps. “You’re mine, Alyssa, and I’m done playing games. I’m done stepping aside and trying to do the right thing. You’re mine.”
“Tell me you’re mine, Alyssa. Officially from now on. No more games. No more blurred lines. No more flirting with other people and making each other jealous. No more guessing and no more miscommunication. I want you, heart and soul. Tell me you want that too.”
“Only if you promise me, there’ll be no more pulling back and hiding your thoughts and emotions, no more unwarranted jealousy and definitely no more separate bedrooms,”
“Daniel, if your version of love entails letting down your partner and abandoning them when they need you most, then
I don’t want it. I’m sorry, but I genuinely think we should break up. We should’ve just left things be when we got divorced. I don’t know what I was thinking…”
