“What happened just now?” Aiden stands in front of me and lifts my chin with his thumb and forefinger so I’m staring at his hooded grey eyes.
I’m scared he’ll see the disorientation or whatever demon took over my body earlier. I legit wanted to hurt someone, and if I didn’t have that flashback, I might have bashed Silver’s head against the pavement.
That’s scary.
I’m not like that.
Instead of thinking about my decimation, I direct my anger at Aiden. “What was she doing here? You’re picking me up with your ex by your side?”
“I didn’t come with her and she’s not my ex.”
“Yeah, right. Could’ve fooled me.”
“I never dated Silver.”
“So you just fucked her?”
He grits his teeth but doesn’t say anything.
“Oh my God, you did.” I think I’m going to throw up.
“It’s complicated.”
“There’s nothing complicated about a dick in a vagina, Aiden. Either you stick it in there or you don’t.”
An old lady passing by gives me a look of dismay. Under different circumstances, I would’ve been embarrassed but right now, I’m too livid to care that I’m causing a scene.
Aiden backs me into his car and shoves me into the passenger seat before he takes the driver’s seat.
The door slams behind him so hard, I would’ve winced if it weren’t for the pent up, energy swirling around my head.
“I told you that if you have anything with Silver, we’re done.” I fight off the angry tears trying to push through.
“Even if we had any
thing, it was in the past.”
Aiden’s devil peeks his head through his metallic eyes. The fact that he’s talking calmly makes me want to smash his head in.
“So you did have something.”
“Yes, we did. I fucked her and I loved it so much that I dumped her.” He rolls his eyes. “What’s wrong with you today?”
“Why was she talking to you? What did she want?”
“Piss me off. And by your attitude, she succeeded.”
I inhale a sharp breath. Maybe I’m being over the top. Damn it. Now that the haze is slowly dissipating, everything seems absurd. Aside from the fact that I loathe Silver. If I see her claws near Aiden again, I don’t know what I’ll do.
Looks like he’s not the only caveman around.
Aiden’s face is closed off and his left eye twitches. I open my mouth to say something but come out with nothing and close it again.
He doesn’t spare me a glance as he starts the engine and weaves down the streets. This time, the vibrations don’t give me the usual thrill. I hug the backpack to my chest as I stare at Aiden’s solemn features.
The entire ride is spent in tomb silence. He doesn’t hold my hand and place it on his thigh as he usually does and he doesn’t glance at me.
He must be truly pissed off.
