Her Return, His Regret 203 I'm yours, aren't I?
***~~Jenaya~~***“Knox, my family's here,” I all but say.There's a beat of silence.“You don't want them to see me?” he asks, his voice is cool but there's a strain in it.I exhale. “That's not it,”“Come get the door, Naya.” he mused, voice low. “I cancelled my trip just so I could come see you.”I bite down on my lips, trying to fight a smile.“Fine,” I mutter, turning back.Mom and Rome lifts their eyes as they see me coming.“It's that a new guy?”“Mom!” I groan. “How'd you know it's a man?”“Well, you gave yourself away,” she says, taking a sip from her glass.I exhale. “Okay. We kinda have a guest,”“The one you just got off the phone with?” Rome asks with a smirk.I roll my eyes and head for the door.I reach for the knob and exhale before pulling it open.Standing there is Knox, in head-to-toe black, his tattoo peeking from his shirt.His eyes trails to mine and I swear he's easily the most sexiest man alive.Seeing him makes me think about things I shouldn't.“Hey,” I say,
Her Return, His Regret 202 Lost in you
***~~Jenaya~~***I hover in the kitchen counter, staring down at my phone at every turn.My mom and brother came in today with bags of food and a big grin.I was relieved. It was easier to not think about Knox while they were here, or so I thought.Knox didn't call last night. It's just been radio silence. He never misses to call in every night.Which by the way has me on the edge.Last night, he was clearly hurt by what I said, but that was me just calling it as it is.I pick up the juice from the fridge and turn to pour it into the glasses laid out on the counter.My mind runs ahead of me.Could he be busy with work? Am I overthinking it?“Naya–,” Rome's voice snaps me out of my thoughts.And that's when I see it.The glass is overflowing, the juice spilling down on the counter.Shit.I put it down and reach for a clean rag, wiping at it.Mom who's setting up the table turn toward us.I gulp nothing, forcing my head down.“Are you okay?” Rome asked, his voice etched with concern.
Her Return, His Regret 201 No time left
***~~Hunter~~***I drive into the parking lot, shutting the engine.My phone buzzed.It's Meghan.“Are you home yet,”I fire out a text quickly. “Yes, just got home.”“Isn't your house about half an hour from mine?”My lips twitch as I step out, eyes on my phone. “I had something really urgent to take care of,”“That's fine,”“You better now? Spoken to your mom yet?”A beat of silence.“My mom might be pregnant. Ugh!”That stops me, but only for a while.“You should be happy.”“That I'm going to have a sibling at 24? God, it sucks.”My lips curls in a lazy smile, about to respond when I hear someone clear their throat.I look up, surprise to see Amber leaning against the door.Drunk.She doesn't miss a beat. “Who was that?” she asks, voice firm but I can smell the bourbon in her breath.“Who was what?”“The person that has you smiling at your phone,” she quips back, lifting herself up from the door a bit.I give her a look. “Why are you here?” I ask, eyes peering into hers.“It's th
Her Return, His Regret 200 You've been warned
***~~Hunter~~***Chris Harrington is pushing a button, one that's beginning to piss me off.I'm not letting this go but I let Meghan think I will.As someone who has the habit of not getting involved in people's business. It still baffles me that I'm willing.But that's the thing.I can't deal with it. I saw how she reacted upon seeing him with Sarah. It's not just shock, it's something that eats at me when I think of it.She's not over him yet it seems but she will.Because if I'm going to have her— to fully explore this side of me that's attracted to this woman– I need to get rid of the ghost of her past.I don't get fascinated easily. It's rare.It only happened once. A highschool little crush that died off clean.But with Meghan, it's different — it's a kind of pull I've never felt before.It's strong, too that it makes me get selfish.Selfish enough to want her all to myself.Because I don't share.I don't care if she's still in love with him. I don't care if she's letting me

***~~Meghan~~***“Did you really mean that you're with that…Hunter?”I stare right back at him. “What is it to you?” I huff.He grinds his teeth. “You want to leave me for a man like that,”“You're sick, Chris. Unhand me,”He won't. He hovers, his gaze as sharp as never before.Instead he chuckles, a low sound that echoes across the hallway. “He’s going to dumb you, he'd use you, just like he's done to a thousand others.”I wrench my hand free from his. “Didn't realize my life's any of your business.” I quip back.“He's an asshole, a user.” his jaw clenched.I straighten. “Go back to your fiancee, Chris. It'll do you the word good.”I sidestep him and start to walk away. I don't have the energy and time for this.Chris is just an airhead. He left Sarah just to come spill filth.Everyday I realize I was groveling for nothing. He's not worth it.“I've always known this is who you are,” he blurts out, his voice sharp.That gets me.My jaw ticks. I stop walking.“You like bad guys, Megh

***~~Meghan~~***I feel an intense eyes on me and my gaze shifts.I scan the room only to see Chris.And Sarah Lopez. His Fiancee.This bothers me some, as I never expected to see him here.Hunter, of course sees him. His hand tightens around mine.“Hey, you okay?” he asks as I turn to face me.I force a smile. “Yes, of course. Why not?” I say defiantly.But that's a lie and I'm pretty sure he knows that too.It still hurts but maybe not as much anymore.Maybe that's how it should be. It's no longer about Chris.Not anymore.Hunter's hand slide to the small of my back. “Come, let's sit.”I smile, a more genuine one and let him guide me to our table.Hunter pulls the chair out for me and I settle in, but he doesn't leave. He doesn't move away.He leans in, his breath fanning my ear.“Tonight, do not focus on anyone else but me.”My heart skips several beats at once. My stomach squeezes, his words punching square in my chest, making my lungs forget how to breathe.My eyes trail up to
