𝗦𝗘𝗫𝗧, reece king

39. ex girlfriend

sarai watched, from the sideline, the stare that reece and claire were sharing. what are the odds that she was at the same city and beach as him?

finally, he broke the awful awkward silence in the air. "what are you doing here?"

claire rolled her eyes as her friends whispered something amongst each other, giggling like it was the funniest thing ever. "i didn't know i needed your permission to come to LA."

"and it has nothing to do with the fact that i posted i was here?"

"in case you didn't realize," she replied. "the world doesn't revolve around you. i don't even follow you anymore." which was a big fat lie on her part. but reece didn't know the numerous amount of fake accounts that claire made in order to 'stalk' him.

so reece's words were true. claire had seen that he was in los angeles but she didn't know the reason, meaning she didn't know that sarai lived here or that she was the girl sitting right next to him.

"right." reece said, sarcastically. he extended his right arm out and gently wrapped it around saraí's waist. "well, this is sarai."

at the sound of that name, claire's eyes widened in shock and anger but was quick to act un-phased seconds later. she forced a smile onto her face and waved. "it's nice to meet you. funny that you guys got to be with each other on his trip here. i mean, i suppose he has to do something in his free time."

anyone with a brain could sense the insult that was secretly laced around claire's words. sarai's mind was clouded with profanity she wished to yell out at her but instead she smiled back. "it's funny because the only reason he came out here was to see me. but i get that might be hard to understand, especially as his ex girlfriend."

reece looked at the side of sarai's face with delight in his eyes. he was happy to know that she could stand up for herself and not take crap from anyone.

"oh, really?"

"yeah," reece said to claire. "she was so amazing over text that i just needed to come meet her. and i'm glad i did."

at this point, both sarai and reece had big cheesy grins on their faces as they stared at each other with love. but in front of them, claire and her friends stood there and watched in disgust. it was natural for them to automatically hate sarai. especially since claire wanted to get back together with reece. sarai had been seen as a threat from the very beginning when she saw the text messages between them.

what reece didn't know was how hurt claire was. keep in mind, the two were still dating when he had accidentally messaged sarai and continued after. so claire was overtaken with anger and betrayal which caused her to act cruel and do the horrible things she'd done. but that didn't mean claire had always been a good girlfriend from the beginning. she was very toxic and possessive over reece, mainly because she was worried someone would swoop in and snatch him away from her— which is exactly what happened.

"you guys are just too cute." claire interrupted their little moment. she dropped her towel and purse onto the sand and said, "well, if it's okay with you guys, we're just gonna be down here."

"we were actually about to leave." sarai interrupted, picking up her towel and standing up. soon after, reece did the same and looked back to make sure nothing would be left behind.

"i don't mind sharing."

sarai said, "well i do."

as they walked past the group of girls, claire stepped a few feet closer to sarai and pointed at her chest. "i'd cover those up if i were you." she said in a low tone, so reece wouldn't hear her.

in response, sarai glanced down and immediately spotted the very faint bruises reece had left from their little activity that happened just moments before claire arrived.

"unless you want people seeing how trashy you really are." she continued, smiling innocently.

reece, who was a bit ahead, turned his head back and looked at them. "sarai, come on."

without replying, she walked back to reece and linked her hand in his, knowing that they had a little crowd watching. before they disappeared behind the large rock, sarai looked back and blew a kiss.
