Thread: You Lied to Me, so Right Your Wrong (Raivh & Loveme)

Relaxing wasnt exactly what he would call the feeling that washed over him when she passed by him the first time without even realizing he was sitting there in the living room. It was more like irritation. He had a pressing urge to stand up and make his presence known, to say her nickname the same way he always had when theyd been dating. He accepted the drink her mother had made up for him, curious when Bella would notice he was sitting there. A huff of a laugh escaped out his nose, and he shook his head. Shortly after that, he heard his name in her voice, and that was enough to drag his attention from the television. Leaning on his forearms, a faux appearance of comfort when he was, in fact, very uncomfortable, he sat back, spine straight, as she approached. He lifted the glass of scotch to his mouth. It sat on his tongue longer than intended, and he immediately swallowed against the burning sensation. Remaining quiet as she screamed, her voice shrill enough at that moment to split hairs, accosting him about why he was sitting in her parents living room, he set his glass down on a coaster on the coffee table. Well, I thought you might like to see him. Its been a long time, Bella. Kayden just got back about a week ago, her mother said, eyebrows furrowed, confused about her daughters outburst. Anything that had happened between the two of them surely had been resolved by time, but her assumption had clearly been incorrect. Yeah, and Im thinking about going back, Kayden said, speaking in a loud voice just to be heard. Rising to his feet, shoulders back, he towered over her, taller than he had been in high school even, and stared down at her. It was after we broke up, so it doesnt really matter. Keeping his reply short and to the point, he glanced at Brenda and stepped around Bella. His arm brushed against hers, and he caught way of her scent. It was a different fragrance than he remembered, and he liked it on her, but he wasnt about to tell her so. Im sorry, I think I should go. She clearly doesnt want to see me. Despite his comment, he turned back, reaching for her wrist as nonchalantly as he would have if theyd been dating. His fingers curled around the slender joint gently, and then firmed. Heres your answer I didnt want kids then, and I dont want kids now. And even if you had gone with me to the lake that summer, we would have wound up separating. You were never my kind of girl. Lie. She had been his kind of girl back then, and by the looks of her, she still was. Just looking at her was enough to boost his testosterone levels. Well, you were, but you went and got upset about my joining the Marines, and look at me now. Im living on my own, make good money, and Ive been taking classes. Almost finished with my bachelors in business administration. Pausing, he smirked in a most condescending manner. The only element Im missing in my life is marriage up to this point, but like the kid, Im not looking to wed anyone anytime soon. It seems women are either floozy or dont think about what a guy wants. Its always got to be about you. He released her wrist, but didnt step back, holding his ground.
