She's Coming Home

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 ~

Lily's POV:

I couldn't quite catch my breath as I watch his eyebrows raise at me, surrounding his brown eyes that are quirked in suspicion as Chloe and I stare at him.

I saw his mouth move, his words only being able to be made out by reading his lips.

He had called out my name.

"Chloe can we go now? Please?" I tear my eyes away to glare at her. I knew this was going to happen.

She nods her head sadly before we start to turn around, until I feel a hand on my back. I instantly cower away from the touch, only to turn back to see brown eyes crossed at me.

He backs away as I turn to him, his hands being shoved back into his pockets.

"I didn't think I would see you here." He says.

"And I hoped I wouldn't see you here." I say through gritted teeth.

A few years isn't long enough to forget him.

The smirk on his face only showed he was amused, the same way my anger had done to him years ago.

I see his eyes scan down my body, only making me get uncomfortable chills over every inch of my skin.

"You look nice."

"Pervert."

He grins even wider, a chuckle falling passed his lips at my words to him. I want to slap the grin off his face, but I hold myself back. We are in public.

I looked over my shoulder to see that Chloe had gotten pulled into a conversation with another guy, her eyes darting to me every now and then worriedly and apologetically.

"I see your anger issues haven't changed." Tom says, capturing my attention again.

"Just go away. Why don't you ?" I ask in irritation.

"Why would I do that ? This is entertaining." He says back.

"You've changed." He smirks, his eyes once again trailing my body.

I cringe inside, wanting to cower behind the food tables behind us, but I hold a brave front.

"I think I'll be leaving now." I glare, about to turn around.

"I'll be glad to watch while you do." He says.

The anger and irritation boiled inside me. I spin back around, not caring if people see as I stomped his foot.

He curses, crouching down to grab a hold of his foot. Maybe I should've brought high heels so it could've hurt him even more. But I don't like high heels at all. I can't stand them.

"Idiot!" I say through a clenched jaw, giving him one last glare before stomping away.

I guess Chloe didn't see me leave, because once I was out to the parking lot she hadn't followed me. And there is no way I'm going back in there.

I sigh in relief as I hear the sound of faint footsteps behind me. Chloe.

"Did you see that! He hasn't changed one bit! And try to believe that a bunch of girls are chasing after him is unbelievable! I mean yeah, maybe he is cute. But his personality and just him all together is horrid!" I screech as I continue to stomp across the parking lot, the footsteps still being heard. I guess the rush of standing up to Tom gave me the courage to let all my anger form into words.

I started to wonder why Chloe wasn't saying anything so I turn around. My mouth falls agape as I see Tom strolling behind me.

"You asshole!" I shout.

"I see you've learned to defend yourself." Tom taunts.

"Why didn't you say anything?!" I ask.

"You started rambling so I listened. You think I'm cute?" He smirks.

"I - Just - Where is Chloe?!"

"Last I saw she was with that guy."

"Go get her."

"No, why don't you." He retorts.

I was debating whether or not just walk, but knowing that our house was miles away from here; that's out of my question.

I was about to suck it up and go back in, but then the double doors open and out came Chloe, her eyebrows raising as she spots us a while away.

"Bye Tom." I say coldly.

"Bye Lily." Tom says, and an icy smile heard from his voice.

"Idiot."

"You know your much cuter when you aren't talking." Tom says.

I stomp my foot in aggravation like a small child, my first thought being able to throw something at him; which resulted in my hand bag.

It hits his shoulder, falling to the ground without doing much harm.

He bends down, picking up my bag, his large hands clutching it much more easily than mine do.

"Thanks." Tom teases, putting it underneath his arm.

"Chloe come on!" I rush, looking passed Tom to a seemingly slow Chloe.

She practically starts to run, giving Tom a cold glare before catching up with me, linking onto my arm.

Without another word we headed to Chloe's car, and I could feel Tom's stare.

"I'll just keep the bag!" Tom calls after me.

"Do you want me to get it? I could kick him in the balls during the process." Chloe says with a small giggle, trying to ease my irritation.

A smug smile crossed my lips at the thought.

"No, there's nothing important in it." I mumble, looking over my shoulder to see that Tom had begun to walk away. His head turning just at the right moment to meet my eyes again from the far distance.

I turn away quickly before tugging my door open, hastily sitting down into the car.
