Chapter 24

“S-sorry,” I mumbled, flushing bright red and brought the leggings up to my waist.

I felt a sudden rush of shyness and nervousness both rain over my body.

“Don’t apologize,” he forced a smile,” I-I’m sorry about last night, I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

Did he just stutter? I shook my head,” don’t apologize, I didn’t give you much of choice.”

“I shouldn’t have lost control-“

“Like I said, I didn’t give you much of a choice.”

He stayed silent but he looked away from me, his gaze going downwards.

I took a few steps until I was a foot away from him,” I’m here, I’m ok, you didn’t hurt me,” I wrapped my fingers around his.

His golden eyes bore into mine and they look pained. Without warning, he stepped away and headed towards the door,” let’s go.”

I sighed out loud and silently obeyed.

The car ride was spent in silence yet again and I secretly wondered when we were going to get over this awkward bubble of tension.
