Chapter 23 Secrets in a Bottle

|LEILA CROSS|

I won't cry over this. I definitely won't, I swear.

My mind is literally blank right now and all I can do is to watch how I throw bottles of wine in his direction but he's quick enough to get away from it and avoid getting hit.

When I feel like I want to collapse right at this moment, I throw him another bottle of wine before quickly running into the door and slamming it hard. I lean my back at the door and slowly let my body settle on the floor. I put my hands on my face and rub it twice before messing my hair.

The house finally went silent. Too silent that I can hear my heart beating loud trying to be out of its cage.

"Damn it," I curse myself for acting weak in front of that guy. I breathe heavily and close my eyes.

I let myself be calm for minutes and to be one with the silence.
