REGGIE

I kicked myself down to my car. Jealousy had never been a thing for me but today I was driven. Aiden had told me, Daniel was going on a date with Charlotte. I never believed at first but then I remembered he sat closer to her when I was playing.

I pretended it didn't matter because of course it shouldn't, she has her life to live, just as I had mine to live. Aiden being the chatterbox had said he was taken her to a French restaurant, he went as far as calling the name. Leo had just stayed quiet, not saying a word. I changed the topic, enough of discussing about Charlotte.

A girl had come by, sending flirtatious glances my way. Well, being me, I took her home pretty sure mum wouldn't be around. She was never around anyway.

Just as I guessed, she wasn't home. The girl whom I didn't even remember her name was all over me. What was she? Sophia or was it Sophie? Whatever. I let her go down on me but I wasn't enjoying it, I needed a dark haired girl that was going on a date. The one whom I'd touched. I sent her away, when it was becoming too much to bear.

I knew I would be restless for the rest of the night as long as I knew Charlotte was out there with some guy who wasn't me. I dressed up, the plan was to stay hidden. I never knew they were sitting right in front of me. She was so beautiful, it hurt to actually stare at her for too long because I knew I couldn't have her.

She was staring dreamily at the garden, she loved nature. She loved being close to it, breathing it in. And then he opened his mouth and fucking ruined it. He was apologizing for not being able to pay a reservation, she was fucking expensive. She was mine.

She pretended then not to lust after it, she wanted it so badly she couldn't stop staring and then her eyes flashed to me. I couldn't stop myself, so I mouthed 'Liar'. I knew when she was lying, I know her more than I think I know myself. She froze almost immediately, definitely uncomfortable. I smiled bitterly to myself.

The girl who once trusted me was now uncomfortable on seeing me, I made her so. Because I was no longer the friend she had. I was no longer an ally. Somewhere inside of me was empty, I couldn't be the man she deserved because she hurt me first, she took him away from me.

Butting in wasn't the issue, I basically ruined tonight for her. It was evident when she hurried away. I fixed my eyes on Daniel, taking my cap away. On seeing me, he frowned.

Exactly, we don't like each other. I lied to him. If it would mean his staying away from her. My feelings for her were still very raw and open.

I left him feeling irritated and quite disgusted, I walked towards the restroom pushed the door open and entered. I don't really care if half naked ladies were inside, duh, I came to get my girl. Ha, my girl.

She was alone, staring at herself in the mirror. Whoever did that to her eyes, did quite a job. Her eyes stood out from her glass, green and alluring. I would had kissed her, I would have. But I know I wouldn't be satiated. I would keep coming back.

I drove around, even though it was getting quite late. I needed to take my mind off her. I needed to focus on my revenge, the reason I was back, the reason a year of my life was wasted.

I found myself at her neigbourhood, just driving around with no specific aim. My eyes caught the "To lease" sign at her neigbour's apartment. I pulled my car to a stop and stared at the building and then at the fence that separated their house from Charlie's.

Moving in closer would make my mission much easier for me. I would be able to watch her. I would give justice to Amo and then my mum would feel much better, she would stop drinking.

I would buy the apartment, deep down, I knew it had nothing to do with revenge.
