SEX WITH MY BEST FRIEND'S FIANCÉ

Chapter 64: Chapter SIXTY FOUR

- KATE -

My eyes meet the messages pasting on my phone screen in front of me and an annoyed sigh rattles out of my lips. 

I’m offended. I know I shouldn’t be but I am. Who the fuck rejects the advances of a woman he’s in an engagement with? That jerk Killian! 

I stamp my hand on the car seat and regret it instantly. My fist hurts. A humourless scowl escapes my mouth and I stare at my phone screen again. Killian’s messages gets me angrier. 

’I’m leaving first.’

’I also invited someone home. You might enjoy the company.’

This makes me roll my eyes. Of course he thinks I’ll enjoy the company of a random person when I have no say in this. When he shoved me away to do God knows what! 

I scoff. 

It could’ve been my fault though, My anger wavers by the thought. After all, I was out of balance and high. Very high. Even now, the effects of the drugs still rummage in my head like a breeze. 

I still don’t think that was a good enough reason to discard me like that. 

"Turn around. Take me to my dorm." I say to the Uber driver and call the name of my dormitory. He resets the navigation on his map and makes a swerve. I don’t want to see Killian tonight. I care about him a lot but he makes it so hard to do so. 

He makes me feel so empty sometimes. And other times, he gives me what I want and gets trapped in my whims. 

A hefty sigh leaves the passage of my spread open lips in distraught. 

From the start, I should’ve expected this because he made it so clear. Even right now, in one of the files in my room, I have that file he handed to me as a refresh of our soon to be marital duties. 

When someone is trapped in the abyss of what is to come, she ends up agreeing to unexpected things and now I’m starting to want more. 

I need more. I crave more. But how can I get more when he won’t even touch me? 

"We’ve arrived." My Uber driver says, pulling the car into a halt. My eyes drift to the side. Already? 

But of course, we were on the outskirts of school when I changed our destination location. 

"Have you been paid?" I ask, searching my purse for dollar bills. 

"Yes." 

My eyes dulls. Of course Killian handled it. I should be glad but this evening’s let down still replays in my head. I hold a few notes and hand it over. 

"Tip." I say to the man. He wasn’t hesitant to grab it from me. "Goodnight." I walk out of the car with my bare foot, holding my shoes in my hand without waiting for a response. I don’t really care about him nor how he spends his night. 

I take a breath of fresh air and my lips form a line. Home sweet dorm, it’s been a while. I’ve missed you. 

- KILLIAN -

Kate is not home. That happened to be a good thing. The relieved look in Hazel’s eyes when she realised my home was empty eased my heart a bit. 

It made her feel somewhat freer and comfortable when the doctor arrived. Although I can’t say the same. The moment I excused them to get changed, I noticed my flash drive had been in my pocket. 

I hadn’t hacked into it fully and now it’s utterly useless. My hand bangs my bathroom walls in anger. The rage pulsing through my veins seems to get higher by the second. 

I feel defeated and I am angry about two things. 

The first being the fact that I’ve been so occupied and don’t remember where the other copies of the flash drives are. 

The second being what happened to Hazel. I can’t help but feel it’s my fault. I thought giving her space to think was a good idea but I guess not. It landed her in a pool while running away from me. I can’t help but think about it every time! 

My fists clench tighter on the belize grey matt porcelain wall tiles. I can feel my fingernails dig into my flesh and the sting of the fresh cuts diverts my thoughts a bit, cooling me down. Maybe, just maybe, if I hadn’t let her be by herself for days, she would’ve trusted me enough to know I wouldn’t do that to her. And she wouldn’t have run off. 

I may not be an ideal man for her, but as I’ve said before, I will try to be. Because I can’t handle the pain of having to lose her again, even though she was never mine. 

A pained sigh leaves my lips and I thread my hair with my fingers, pushing it all backwards. I tilt my head up to face the ceiling, keeping my eyes closed under the shower. 

Warm water runs down on my face to my skin. I hold my breath, allowing my thoughts get washed off briefly. I can’t imagine how she felt in there. Struggling and most likely screaming for aid yet getting none. Hazel’s body was hanging still in the water when I got there. 

My jaw tightens. For someone to struggle so much and get exhausted to the point of giving up, it must’ve been hell for her. I don’t even want to think about it. 

I don’t want my mind to drift further and torment me. I let out a gentle exhale, finally allowing myself to breathe. 

I’ve been in a situation where I cried for help and got none before.... The night my parents were assassinated. And it was also in the water. A much wider...., broader...., and deeper kind. 

Water anyone can get lost in and never be found. 

I lower my head and open my eyes. I don’t ever want to be in that mess again. That’s why I learnt how to swim. That’s why it broke me to see her helpless in the pool. 

And that’s why, even when I didn’t want to, I let out my frustration on her in the car. 

It’s terrible to not be able to fend for yourself in adversity. At the end of the day, one realizes that they’re the only one who’s got thier back. That’s why I equip myself with being solo while achieving certain lengths to boost my skills. 

I can’t have myself in a situation where I’m helpless. 

Like finding Hazel in the pool. 

I rest my hands on the wall and lean my head lower, facing the shower stem. Water runs down my back. The image of Hazel’s still body laying on the floor while I tried to make her breathe resurfaces in my head. 

I growl. Watching her get hurt because of me broke me. 

I never want to let this woman out of my sight, at least, not where I won’t be able to save her.
