Patrick's POV
Jenny literally just dragged Pete into the dance floor it was obvious she was really into him. Of course I didn't think Pete would after everything that was happening between us.
I looked at Pete and his hands were around her, they we're too close. I didn't like it, I hated the idea she was with him right now, the way she was smiling at him. I looked closely at Pete and he seemed to be smiling at her too. How I wanted to punch him.
Liar, for saying you felt something for me. If you did love me Pete you would push her away not letting her touch you or look at you that way.
The worst thing is that I'm having emotions for Pete, I shouldn't have. Instead I should be worried about Elizabeth taking Peter, but that was the least of my concerns.
I didn't want to just sit here anymore and watch. I really wished I still had my ride back home, really big mistake to be here.
"My love, do you want to dance?" Peter stood up and held out his had. I half smiled, and took it willingly.
Why can't I feel anything when you touch me, Peter. I no longer feel butterflies in my stomach, or even jealously when someone looks at you. I know when you say you love someone it's hard to take that feeling away. Did I ever love you? Or was it just a very strong attraction that slowly faded away.
"What's wrong Patrick? You seem so distracted this evening."
"It's nothing, I'm okay." I looked over at Pete and this time Jenny was now hugging him. Yet he just dance without doing anything about it.
"Patrick, would you mind if I dance with Peter?" Elizabeth said, beside me. I just nodded and let go of Peter's grip.
I didn't want to stay here anymore. I needed some air, where no one was around. I walked towards the back of the room and found a staircase that led to the roof.
I went up there and leaned against the railing and looked up at the clear night sky.
"Hi, Patrick." I looked over at the door and Pete was standing right there.
"What are you doing here Pete? I thought you were busy dancing with Jenny."
He chuckled, "I knew you were jealous..."
If I come out with it and say I was jealous. Then that smile on his face will just grow even wider. Pete is and forever will be a total flirt.
"I wasn't jealous, I could care less who you dance with."
"Really? Then what are you doing up here? It's like your avoiding something."
"I'm not avoiding anything, Pete. I just wanted some fresh air..."
"Don't lie Trick. You were jealous, I saw the way you looked at me."
I nodded, "You're right I was jealous... but not because of you. I was jealous because of Elizabeth, that woman doesn't understand that Peter is with me."
That grin on his face fell real fast. "Then why aren't you doing anything about it?"
"Peter is doing business with her, I don't want to do anything that interferes with his job... Peter is one I should be feeling jealousy for, not you!"
"And everything we have been through?"
"We just kissed Pete, nothing else has happened between us. It's best now to stop all this, Peter doesn't deserve it!"
He was about to say something, but he stopped himself angrily. Pete quickly left, and slammed the door. I felt even worse then when I got here.
