Chapter 85: She Wants Me, But...

- Kathrine Andrews: ( Song of the Chapter: High enough by k-flay)

I can’t believe Glyndon just barged into the school showers today, at school. The audacity of that girl. She pisses me off. So much.

Yes, she makes me feel good. And as much as she satisfies me and makes me feel... happy to be around her... Sometimes, she pisses me off even more.

How stupid can she be? She wants me, but she doesn’t want to admit she is not straight. She wants me, but she does not want to come out. She wants me, but only in the dark, only in secret, only behind closed doors where no one else can see.

She wants me but she still wants everyone to think she is straight, that she is normal, that she isn’t sinning.

I will never be anyone’s dirty little secret.

I deserve more. I deserve to be loved in public. I deserve to be with someone who knows my worth. I deserve someone who would proudly tell the entire world that they love me.

I rode my motorcycle back home after school was over, the wind whipping against my skin, but no matter how fast I went, no matter how much I tried to let the speed clear my mind, she was still there.

Glyndon Walton.

The girl who bullied me for years. The girl who called me slurs. The girl who tormented me with her friends just for existing.

And the girl who kissed me like she wanted to devour me.

The girl who wanted me.

I gritted my teeth as I pulled into the garage, forcing myself to push those thoughts away. I killed the engine and swung my leg off my bike, rolling it further inside.

And that’s when I saw them.

My brother, Malakai, standing way too close to Alex inside our garage.

I narrowed my eyes.

"Can you guys not fuck in the garage?" I deadpanned. "Like, have some decency?"

Malakai turned his head lazily, a smirk on his lips. Alex, on the other hand, stiffened and immediately took a step back.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about," Malakai said, completely unbothered.

Alex, however, refused to look at me.

Yeah. Okay. Sure.

I rolled my eyes and kept pushing my bike into its usual spot. I was about to leave when Alex finally spoke.

"About you and Glyndon."

I stopped in my tracks as I gritted my teeth.

Slowly, I turned to him.

"What about me and Glyndon?" I asked, crossing my arms, looking at him up and down as if he wasn’t worth anything, just to let him know that he did not belong in our house.

Alex hesitated for a second before sighing. "I’m just saying that you guys should probably deal with each other and talk."

I frowned. "Talk?"

Alex exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck. "She broke up with me today."

My breath caught. She did what? Glyndon did what? Did she do it? She actually broke up with her boyfriend as I asked. No way, this has to be a lie.

He continued, "And she told me about how much she wants you. She broke up with me for you."

I stared at him, my entire body locking up.

She what?

She broke up with him?

For me?

I felt a surge of something—something warm, something bright—blossom inside my chest before I could shove it down.

I hated how happy that made me.

I hated how much I wanted to smile.

But then the anger came back.

She wanted me?

Oh, so now she wanted me? Now she was willing to take a step forward. But she still wasn’t willing to admit it.

She still wasn’t willing to choose me in public.

I clenched my jaw. "Good for her," I said flatly.

Alex gave me a tired look. "Come on, Kathrine."

I shook my head and scoffed. "What do you want me to say, Alex? That I’m thrilled she suddenly decided to break up with you after treating me like I was disposable for years?"

"You are thrilled," Malakai chimed in.

I shot him a glare. "Shut up."

He smirked. "I’m just saying, you look a little too pleased for someone pretending to be mad."

I scowled, crossing my arms tighter over my chest.

Alex sighed. "Look, I get it. You’re pissed. You should be. But maybe this means something. Maybe she’s trying, in her messed-up way."

I looked at him sharply. "Trying?" I repeated. "Trying isn’t enough. Either she’s in or she’s out. She doesn’t get to have it both ways. She doesn’t get to want me and still act like I’m something to be ashamed of."

Alex sighed again but didn’t argue.

Malakai, on the other hand, just kept smirking at me like he knew something I didn’t.

I hated that look.

Then, he turned to Alex and patted him on the head, his smirk growing.

"Damn, you are short, huh?"

Alex swatted his hand away. "Fuck off."

I snorted, suddenly reminded of something.

I turned fully toward my brother, raising an eyebrow. "By the way, what the fuck, Malakai? You’re dating this short-ass bitch? You couldn’t find someone at least closer to your height?"

Malakai just shrugged. "What can I say? I like them bite-sized."

Alex groaned. "I hate both of you."

I smirked, satisfied, until Alex turned to me.

"Look who’s talking," he shot back. "It’s not like you’re dating a 5’2’’ girl or anything."

The smirk immediately dropped from my face.

My fists clenched at my sides. "I’m not dating her," I snapped. "Fuck you."

And before either of them could say another word, I turned on my heel and stormed out of the garage.

As I walked up the stairs, I could still hear Alex’s voice in my head.

"She told me about how much she wants you."

I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists.

She wanted me.

But was she brave enough to have me?

I didn’t even realize I was smiling.

Not until I caught my reflection in the mirror.

The second I saw it, my face dropped, and I scowled at myself.

What the fuck am I smiling for?

I shook my head and ran a hand through my hair, trying to shove down whatever weird mix of emotions was bubbling up inside me. I was tired. That was all. It had been a long day—hockey training, the game, Glyndon showing up in the showers, Alex running his mouth.

She broke up with me today and told me about how much she wants you.

I gritted my teeth.

Fuck Alex for saying that. Fuck Glyndon for actually doing it.

I hated how much I cared.

I dropped my bag onto the floor and flopped onto my bed, grabbing my phone out of my pocket. The screen lit up immediately.

A new message.

From her.

I hesitated for a second before opening it.

It was an address. And one word.

Please.

I stared at the message, my heart thudding a little too hard in my chest.

It was a fucking hotel.

I scoffed and tossed my phone onto the bed. She thinks I’m going to run to her the second she tells me to?

I wasn’t going.

I wasn’t.

I rolled onto my back and stared up at the ceiling.

Five minutes passed. Then ten.

My fingers twitched.

I grabbed my phone again. Looked at the message. Looked at the address.

I wasn’t going.

Except, somehow, I was already on my feet, heading toward my closet.

I yanked out a pair of jeans, a black crop top, and my leather jacket. Why the fuck am I even dressing up?

I hated how much I cared to look good.

I got ready quickly, tying my hair back and swiping on some lip balm, and then grabbed my keys.

I made it downstairs, heading straight for the door, but I didn’t make it out before Malakai and Alex spotted me.

They were sitting on the couch, way too close, talking about something in hushed tones. The second I stepped into the living room, Alex glanced up.

I narrowed my eyes. "Bold of you to sit here in our living room."

Alex groaned and ran a hand through his hair, while Malakai just rolled his eyes. "Kat, please, just stop."

I scoffed. "I’m not stopping." I turned to Alex, giving him my best unimpressed glare. "He treated me like shit for three years, Kai. I get to treat him like shit for the next six. You know. Payback and interest rates are a bit too high. I have to double it."

Malakai sighed like he was exhausted, but Alex?

Alex just leaned back, threw an arm over the couch, and smirked. "She’s right," he said, turning to Malakai. "Just let her do whatever she wants."

I smiled in satisfaction. Finally. Some respect.

Malakai let out another long sigh and looked me up and down, eyes narrowing slightly. "Where are you going?"

I smirked. "I’m going to have an orgy with five men."

Silence.

Then Malakai let out a dry laugh and shook his head. "Nah. You’re too gay for that shit."

I rolled my eyes. "I’m going out. Bye."

I didn’t wait for a response.

I grabbed my helmet, shoved the door open, and headed straight for my bike.

My hands were steady as I climbed on, but my mind? Not so much.

I revved the engine and pulled out of the driveway, heading straight for the hotel.

I hated that I was going.

Hated that she had that much of a pull over me.

But I went anyway.
