Chapter 56

"Can I talk to you alone?"

Storm turned to Jeremy. "Sure."

"We need to head back, anyway, we will catch up later." This time it was Meghan.

"Alright, I will see you guys later."

She followed Jeremy to a quiet place, "I wanted to ask if we could go out again?"

"I can't?"

"Saturday?"

"I'm back together with Chase, I'm sorry."

Jeremy looked hurt, but then it was replaced with being upset. "After all that he has done to you?"

"I know but I love him."

"You love him? What does that solve?"

"He also wants to be with me, no matter what he loses."

"I guess he will always win."

"What do you mean by that?"

"He is the alpha, he has the looks, intensity, and everyone wants to be friends with him and I guess I stood no chance, did I?"

"You would, the only reason that I went out with him was that he always was there for me and he pursued me."

"As if I can believe that."

"I swear Jeremy, I had no intention to be with him. I had liked Brian first, but that did not work out as I ended up with Chase."

"It's fine, I can wait."

"Don't, Jeremy. You should not waste your time like that. What if it never changes, and you could miss the love of your life?"

"You're the love of my life Storm, you're the only one meant for me."

"No, I'm not and I don't plan on ever leaving Chase."

"It's my choice to wait for you, nothing will change that. Just as you are doing."

She shrugged, "I don't think you hearing me or understanding me, I guess."

"I do, but I know what Chase is capable of. You two won't last."

That made her hurt so much. She wanted to be with Chase forever, "Don't say that, you don't know him."

"Oh, but I do, I see how is around other girls. He struggles to remain faithful and I can see that committing to one girl is impossible for him."

"But he did."

"No, he didn't."

"What do you mean?"

"He broke up with you so that he could have other girls, so he was bored with you and took a break."

His words this time had really hit her, he was right, Chase had been with other girls and would this be a normal thing?

"I have to go."

"Go where?"

"That's personal Jeremy okay."

"I did not mean to upset you."

"It's not you, so I have to go."

She needed to cool down and diffuse her temper, so she started to run to the waterfall.

"HOW MANY TIMES SHOULD I FUCKING TELL YOU TO NOT LEAVE ALONE?"

She turned to Chase, "Sorry, I forgot."

"THAT IS NOT A GOOD ENOUGH ANSWER."

"I don't know what to say then."

"What were you and Jeremy talking about?"

"Me and you getting back together."

"Are you upset because you had started to like him?"

"No, it's nothing, just a bad day."

"Your mood switched when you spoke to him. What did he say?"

"I don't want to lie to you."

His brow furrowed. "What did he say?"

"Can you please not do this to me Chase?"

"I'm trying not to but I can't hold back or else I will go ask him and it won't be pretty."

"Fine, I will tell you."

She told him everything and he listened intently.

"So, what do you think?"

"Think about?"

"What he said, do you believe it?"

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"I need to know where we stand in terms of trust."

"I don't believe that you would cheat on me."

"Do you think I would get bored of you?"

Her heart beat fast, "Yes."
