Married or Not, You Don't Own Me

Chapter 21: Why?

Mia's P.O.V

The next morning, Ames and I kept our distance and nothing was said or done.

There was no eye contact or anything. For the first time, he hasn't tried to annoy me but kept to himself. I even made sure to leave the house before him. And when I closed that door behind me, I released a heavy breath. I felt like I could breathe again.

By the time I made it to school, I had pushed back the memory of last night into a dark place in my head. And went on with the day as usual.

Ame's P.O.V

As soon as I heard the front door close, I found myself releasing a heavy sigh. Leaning backwards onto the kitchen island, as I gathered my thoughts.

When I closed my eyes, what happened last night flashed through my head.

What the fuck was I thinking?

Why the fuck did I even do it?

I was so angry yesterday that I could've punched someone. And when we walked into the house, I had my eyes on her the entire time. I eyed her as she walked before me. I was definitely angry. And I didn't know what came over me but I did it.

I kissed her.

And when she kissed me back.

I literally froze. Not just because she kissed me back. But I could taste her tears. And it made me want to continue kissing her.

The thing is, I hated it.

But then, I can't lie and say that I didn't liked it too.

Mia's P.O.V

I was having my lunch in the cafeteria when I looked up to make eye contact with Ames who was siting one table away from me.

Breaking eye contact, I found myself stabbing my food.

"Ah, I think that chicken is already dead Mia" Ally points out.

"Ah, right"

My head was beginning to load so much hate and anger that I couldn't look at Ally but turned towards my food instead.

Mathew's P.O.V

"What's up with Mia?"

I noticed that she was picking at her food. And I can definitely tell that something happened with her.

Ames briefly looked towards Mia's direction. While his hand still stirred his pasta.

"She's angry with me" he replied in a normal tone.

That I found surprising. I wasn't surprised about Mia being angry with him. It was natural. No, it was weird coming from him. He went back to eating as if nothing happened.

"Don't we already know that?" I stare at him as he ate.

It was definitely weird. Because he didn't look angry when I asked and he didn't even cuss her out like usual.

"What did you do this time dude?" I asked as I went to open my can of root beer.

As I was drinking, he surprised me the second time because he answered in the same tone. He paused then he said it.

"I kissed her" he says naturally.

And my root beer came pouring out of my mouth, choking myself in the process. But he didn't flinch.

Ally's P.O.V

I look up to find Mathew choking on his drink. He coughed as he sneaked glances over at our table. To Mia of course.
