Poppy sat at the table, digging into the Chinese food that Sebastian had brought over again. It was the only thing she'd had enough appetite for these days.
She hadn't spoken to Xavian, answered his calls or even his text because she had every intention of keeping away from him and cutting off whatever this attraction between them was.
But if she could stop gaslighting herself for even a moment, she knew it wasn't working. Every morning, she woke up wanting him, wanting to seek him out. She'd stay missing his touch, his lips on her, his kisses that felt so good. It all made her hurt, but it could be said she had somehow gotten good at suppressing those wants, her desires of him.
"Poppy," Sebastian who sat opposite her, called, concern written all over her face.
She glanced at him.
"Are you okay? You don't look so good."
She shook her head at him. "I'm fine."
