My Secret Fiancé

Chapter Eight

Zoe Austin

That feeling when you see a person you don't wanna encounter and you just jump and find the nearest hiding place with a pinch of anxiety because you don't wanna be found and bombarded with questions like 'Why are you hiding?'

That's what I'm feeling right now and I'm in the pantry hiding because Troy just entered the kitchen.

It was after school and I was about to cook some pasta when I heard the door open and close and hear footsteps towards the kitchen where I am.

I quickly run to a room which has a door meaning the pantry and close it shut.

I sigh in relief.

"Hello....anybody home? Zoe?" He called out

When he said my name my body tensed and reached for the door and lock the door.

Again I sigh.

So I don't want to see him....I saw him eating Sia's face out by my locker.

That moment I felt my heart clench and wanted tears to come out I don't even know why.

You like him

No I don't.

Yes you do.

Prove it.

The moment you saw them you felt you heart clench

You're mimicking me.

Well you said it yourself.

And how's that an evidence I like him?

You. Are. Jealous.

My inner voice is right I am jealous but I have no right to be.

Don't forget he's your fiancé.

But he will never like me back because for all I know he likes girls like Sia beautiful but bitchy plus slutty and I am not changing for him.

Stop denying and just tell him.

Its not that easy.

Then I heard Troy "Zoe? What are you doing in the pantry?" He asked trying to open the door

Oh shit my cover's blown

"Oh" I laugh dryly "I was just getting some tomatoes for my pasta" then I grab some tomatoes and open the door and walk out the pantry.

Troy was looking at me intensely "You've been there for a long time...why?"

Think think think!!!

"Oh...its my first time in the pantry so yeah.....I'm trying to get used to the environment" I laugh innocently

Then his eyes softened and smiled "Okay....I get a plate too?" He asked

He made out with Sia earlier.

Shut up.

"Ummm...sure" then I started boiling water

The awkward tension begins

"Sooo...." He breathes "About the locker incident..."
