“Yes, you did.”
I shoot my hand up.
“Okay... You’re free to believe whatever you want.”
“You didn’t answer my question,” she says.
“I said... it doesn’t have anything to do––”
“That’s a yes,” she says, cutting me off.
I raise my eyes but stay quiet.
A frown creases her brow.
She crosses her arms over her chest and purses her lips.
“Everything you said to me makes sense. I can’t dismiss any of that. But there is something else,” she says and pauses for a second. “I wouldn’t give a shit if you left me because you didn’t like me, but I’d be mad as hell if you abandoned me because you did,” she says.
I lower my eyes.
“It wouldn’t make sense, would it?” I mutter, glancing at the screen.
“In your world, it would.”
Slowly, I close the laptop and set it on the side.
“No one knows the future, Senna. You and me, the least of all people.”
She shoots me a glare and leaps off the bed, within seconds darting across the room and vanishing out of the door.
“Senna?”
I push off the chair. A door slams in the background as I turn onto the corridor.
“Senna!”
My voice thunders across the hallway. I try a couple of doors. The rooms are empty. I finally reach the last one. The door is locked. I pound on it with my fist.
“Open the fucking door.”
“Go the fuck away.”
“Why do you always have to change your mind?” I shout.
A few moments of silence follow before the door swings open, hitting the wall with a bang. Her eyes could kill me. The robe is loose around her body, sliding open even more as she clasps her hands on her hips.
My eyes dip only for a moment. Her sleepy tits peek through her robe, looking in a better mood than her.
“How did I change my mind, Jaden? Huh? Explain to me. I’m dying to hear it. How did I fucking change my mind?”
I purse my lips, barely crushing a tell-all smile.
She slides her hands higher on her hips, revealing more of her naked body. I lose my focus for a moment.
“You wanted something from me...” I say, serious this time. “And you got it,” I mutter, my eyes locked with hers. “And now you want something else. Which doesn’t surprise me. It’s happened before. Women acting bravely. Going in for sex. Five fucks later, they want to plan a wedding.”
Three things happen next. Almost simultaneously.
