“
We need to talk.”
“No, we don’t.”
Instead of walking back to her seat, she stood next to me and crossed her arms, mirroring my pose. Then, she rocked back on her heels, lips curling into an uncomfortable smile. “So, you were sad because of me?”
“Don’t be a fucking bitch,” I said through gritted teeth.
She smacked me across the face. “Don’t call me a fucking bitch.”
“You fucking are,” I growled, rubbing my cheek.
“Just because I didn’t tell you that I loved you?” she asked, the words so damn sharp and sour. “Are you really that butthurt over it, João? Because if you are, you should’ve let me at least respond to you last night before running out of Landon’s and driving away like a maniac!”
“I needed to get Ana.”
“That’s always going to be your excuse.”
“It’s not a fucking excuse.” I seethed.
She poked a finger hard into my chest. “That doesn’t give you the right to call me a bitch. And still… you could’ve waited two fucking minutes for me to tell you that I—” She paused and glanced behind me.
“That you what?” I asked and followed her gaze, my eyes landing on Landon and Ana together. “Of fucking course.”
“João, come on,” she said, hurrying after me. “How do you expect me to love you when all you are is rude to me?! God, you’re so frustrating.” She ran her hands through her hair, frustration all over her face. “Don’t be stupid! If I didn’t love you, I wouldn’t be doing any of this shit!”
“I’m not being fucking stupid,” I growled.
I was fucking scared.
