It Was Always You

Chapter Twelve

He was so shocked by her bold move that he just stood there frozen, not doing anything. Just then both Mila and Evan looked in their direction wondering about the sudden whispering that was going on around them as the music dies to change into a new one.

"Ha! I knew there was more between those two than Jared was letting on." Evan started laughing as they stopped dancing to stare at them.

Mila scowled, not liking what she was seeing at all. But more than that she felt a little...betrayed. And hurt as her heart constricted tightly in her chest. She was confused on why she was feeling this way.

She tried to convince herself it had to be because Jared was her good friend, and her cousin was taking advantage of him. Maybe it wasn't that she was feeling heartbroken for herself but for him since he never seems he could catch a break. Yeah, that had to be it.

She lets Evan go and steps out of his embrace as he continued to laugh at the scene that seemed to be just frozen as Jared just stood there not doing anything still. She starts marching towards them as her anger slowly starts to rise now.

Jared got over his shock and pushed her away from him, almost knocking her over. But he catches her arm in a moment of panic, then quickly let her go as if touching her scorched his hand. His face was set in hard lines, his eyes flashing in slight rage, showing her, he didn't like what she just did one little bit.

But she just smiled and bashed her eyelashes at him making him even angrier that she didn't seem to care about how he felt at all.

"Wow, Jared. I had no idea." Selena stated thickly with malice and disgust by the whole display.

Her brother seriously needed a whack in the head. For someone who was so brilliant, can sure be dumb. Although, she wasn't very pleased with Kristan at all. Why couldn't the girl just take a damn hint already? Why did she keep forcing something that wasn't there and never going to happen?

"Come on Ian, let's go get some punch." She grabbed his hand and together they headed away from everyone.

"Yeah, okay." Ian looked like he wanted to say something to his friend but decided against it and followed after his girl.

Jared just stood there wide eyed watching them leave, not comprehending what the hell just went down. Did his sister honestly believe he had wanted that to happen? Even knowing how he felt towards Kristan and her overly obsessive ways?

More anger burst through him as his eyes pierced down at the girl in question. "Do me a favor and never, never do that again." He bit out.

She just laughed it off not fazed one bit by the dark look he was throwing her way.

"You know, you look really hot when you show that bad boy persona everyone says you are." She provocatively slides up to him completely flabbergasting the hell out of him.

What the hell was wrong with this girl? Like seriously, what was wrong with her brain to think that he was playing around right now? Why couldn't she accept that he was never going to be interested in her? Not to mention the way she acted. Where the hell did she even learn all this?

Sometimes he couldn't help wondering if she was even a virgin. He hated that the thoughts came up, but her actions spoke major volumes that maybe she wasn't as innocent as she should be. And he didn't want to find out either.

He jerked when suddenly Mila was by their side looking all hellbent on snapping at them. He swallowed hard when he sees the look on her face. He instantly felt guilty, even though he didn't do anything wrong. She didn't believe that he initiated that right? Out of anyone she should know that he would never do something so out of character for him, especially with Kristan.
