Te trouver (Paranormal Romance)

Chapter 11 Katy

              Scott follows me when I get home. Tessa wanted to accompany us but since she can neither see nor hear him, I did not see the point and then I have to talk to her without eavesdropping around. The anger I felt this morning when I realized he was gone without a word has subsided. It must be said that it is difficult to stay angry with him for a long time when he looks at you with a big smile. Besides, I don't even understand why I was so angry that he left. After all, we are nothing to each other. That night he just kept me company because I was in bad shape and that's it, end of story. As usual, my dog comes to celebrate with me. Automatically, I turn on the television on mtv to have music in the background.

Scott slips his hands into his jeans pockets as he watches me. He looks preoccupied, I guess he's expecting the worst.

– You wanted to talk to me ?

– Yeah. We need to discuss several things.

I sit on the couch and invite her to take a seat. I turn to him to ask him the first of the questions that I keep turning over in my head:

– Who do you want me to contact ?

From his expression, I see that he doesn't understand what I'm talking about.

– Generally, the spirits who come to see me want me to send a message to one of their relatives. So who ...

– No one.

His answer amazes me and I can't help but reply rather sharply:

– No one, really ? Not even Jessica ? Yet she was the great love of your life, right ?

Immediately I would like to swallow my words, that makes too much jealous girl. His expression oscillates between disbelief and anger.

– Especially not her ! And no she was not what you say, then with a small smile he adds: you really inquired about me it seems ?

I feel my cheeks flushing.

– When you ... went to the other side, Tessa told me that you had been living with Jessica for several months and that, according to popular magazines, it was the longest relationship you had.

Scott blows a big blow, apparently his ex-girlfriend is a taboo subject.

– It was the case, he lets go of the lips before planting his eyes in mine. If I tell you something, do you promise not to tell anyone ? Not even in Tess ?

– You have my word.

He seems to hesitate for a moment, probably wondering if he can trust me.

– The night I died, we finished shooting earlier than expected. I came home thinking I would surprise Jess ...

A shiver runs down my spine, I don't know why, but I dread the rest of his story.

– I found him in my bed with his bodyguard and they weren't playing cards if you know what I mean.

He makes a little face. I am in shock. Frankly being lucky enough to have a relationship with this handsome guy and having sex with another is something that is beyond me. Scott scans my face like he's trying to read my thoughts.

– How did you react ?

– I told him to get out of my house. We argued, she confessed to only being with me out of interest. Our relationship made her famous, he smiles sadly. It's the story of my life... She was not the first to act like this, but with her, I was naive. I thought she was different and I trusted her even though Alex, my best friend, warned me, I didn't want to listen to her. I knew she was enjoying our relationship, I was doing the same but I never thought she would be able to cheat on me like that.
