That message pissed me off.

I could feel the tension in the air, thick and suffocating, as I watched her face fall. The light in her eyes dimmed, and I could sense something was wrong.

But I didn't care about the niceties.

I needed answers.

The way she hesitated, the way her fingers fidgeted with her phone, only fueled my frustration.

I needed the name of the person texting her.

I grabbed her neck gently, my fingers brushing against her skin as I leaned in closer, my voice low and dangerous. "Who the fuck is he?"

I needed answers, and I needed them now.

Her eyes widened, but she didn't respond. The silence stretched between us, thick and suffocating, and I could feel my frustration boiling over. I tightened my grip slightly, not enough to hurt her, but enough to make my point clear.

"I won't ask thrice. Tell me who the fuck he is."

Her silence was killing me more than any words could. I could see the conflict in her eyes, the way she was wrestling with something deep inside.

"Do you care?" she finally asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Without even thinking, the answer slipped from my tongue, raw and honest. "Yes."

In an instant, her demeanor shifted. She grabbed my collar, pulling me closer, her eyes fierce and determined.

"Then kiss me like you fucking care," she commanded, and before I could process her words, she slammed her lips against mine.

This kiss was different. It wasn't fueled by desperation or anger; it was filled with a fierce affection that took me by surprise.

I felt her warmth envelop me, and for a moment, everything else faded away. I had no idea what she was going through, but I could feel the intensity of her emotions pouring into that kiss.
