In His Arms

Chapter 14

'Second Guessing'

==============================================

"Heheeeyy, Jay~ Long time no see~ ♡"

The way Jace's eyes narrowed in apparent anger would've probably made me soil myself on the spot, had it been directed at me.

"Go home, you're not welcome here." He said coldly.

"Aww, c'mon Jay, I missed youuu~ Can I get a hug? It's been a while~ ♡" said Nicole right as she stepped foot inside the house. Jace immediately tried to push her back out, but Nicole countered that attempt by wrapping her arms around his waist and pulling him into a tight embrace.

"Nicole, let go of me. It's only been—"

"Come ooon, is that how you treat a lady-friend you've known since you were ten? You're worse than I thought~ ♡" Nicole said before turning to me with a smile that could only be described as mocking and psychotic. She then redirected her attention back to Jace, which is when her expression changed. She was now looking up at him with a pair of puppy eyes, perhaps her attempt at softening his growing temper.

"Every time you find a new girl to play with, you always cast me aside. Like I'm just a used condom."

"That's not what's happening here, get the fuck out of our house." Jace struggled a few times to get her grip off of him but to no avail; seems like this woman was a lot stronger than what her build would supposedly suggest.

"Why do you want me to leave so badly? Hmmm? So that you and your new girlfriend over there can finally be alone together?"

"Piss right off, she's my—ackk, can you fucking let go of me for a second?!"

"J-Jace—"

"Yeah, I bet you two fuck like crazy, each single day. Meehh, can't blame ya, Isabelle here is an absolute cutie~ If I were a guy, I'd fuck her brains out everyday, too~ ♡"

I physically recoiled hearing those words come out of her.

"Last warning, Nicole. Don't make me ask again."

"Or what? You'll put your hands on me? Like you always do? Sure, why not, let's give your girlfriend a little show while we're at it~"

"T-That wasn't—Nicole, please. . ."

"Yepp, let her know just how good you are at giving me bruises and shit, you know? So go ahead, leave some marks on me, show your jailbait of a fuckbuddy exactly what you're made of."

It was at that point where I'd had enough. Her grating voice, her condescending tone, her inability to take a 'no' for an answer, I couldn't stand any of it any longer. I immediately got in between the both of them and somehow, in just one swift motion, I managed to get Nicole off of Jace and then began to push her out the door. She put up somewhat of a struggle, but in less than ten seconds I got her out of the house with the door locked behind her.

I expected her to immediately start banging on the door demanding to be let back in, but after about half a minute of silence had passed, all Jace and I heard were her footsteps that faded into the distance as she finally left the premises.

I then turned to Jace, who immediately averted his gaze away from mine. What was probably just a few seconds felt like hours, filled with tension thick enough that it could be cut with a knife.

"Seems like you and Nicole have quite the history." I said, in an attempt to break the deafening silence.

"Yeah, tell me about it." Jace responded with the energy equivalent to a rotting corpse.
