Chapter 33:You Again

Word Count:1780

"Why hello there" A voice to my left said. I turned to see who it was. It wasn't the guy from the dance floor. But the guy who was standing there was much worse.

Their green eyes were twinkling. I had once thought of them as warm and kind. I know better now.

"Hello Cade" I say coolly looking him over. He wore a white button up shirt without buttoning it up, completely open, despite the cold whether.

Cade takes a step closer to me. I tense refusing to meet his gaze properly. It stays silent for a moment. He doesn't reply to my greeting. Was he just going to stand there?

"I never invited you to this party" Cade says breaking the short silence.

I take a sip of my drink "No, you didn't" I state simply not seeing the point of this conversation. I other things I needed to do.

"Then who did?" He asks

I bite the inside of my cheek weighing over my next response. "Why are you talking to me Cade? Have you not taken the hint?" I ask letting my annoyance drip into my tone of voice.

"You haven't returned any of my calls" He points out frowning a little.

"I blocked your number. I also blocked you from any and all social media" I reply boldly

"I've noticed" he murmurs a little ruefully. Silence

"Why?" He asks loudly

I look at him blankly, he was joking right? "Are you kidding me? Cade you-you" my voice breaks a little "you tried to take advantage of me"

"But you weren't drunk" Cade says tilting his head at me. Annoyance and anger bubbles in my stomach. How to you tell a guy you won't go out with cause he got drunk and tried to rape you? Oh right, like this.

"Cade" I begin "You got drunk. No, you were drunk when I got to our date. I went to the bathroom. You cornered me and tried to rape me" I could feel tears sting my eyes. I felt sick just thinking about the words I just said. I was completely and utterly disgusted with Cade.

"But I was drunk. It wasn't my fault" he protests. My stomach twists with disgust, I can't believe he was trying to excuse his actions.

"That doesn't matter" I spit "You tried to to freaking rape me you sick freak. It's obviously not the first time either"

Cade frowns "You can't prove anything. You wanted me" he insists

I can't help but scrunch up my nose in disgust "You're sick. I didn't want you." I say taking a tentative step backwards. Cade had a determined look in his eyes. In this situation it made me weary.

The corner of his lips quirk up a little. "That's what they all say. You wanted me then" he steps towards me "and you want me now". I could feel my heart racing inside of my chest. Could he hear it, despite the loud music? Did he realize how nervous and scared I was at this moment?

Or maybe he really did believe in his sick twisted mind that I wanted him somehow? I felt like gagging. I hold my ground, I wouldn't let him know.

I put a hand out pushing against his chest. "Stop" I say, surprised by how steady my voice sounds "I don't want you. Leave me alone, Cade. Find someone else, I'm not interested anymore"

For a second I think it would work and he would just back off and leave me alone. I was wrong.

A smirk stretches across his face and laughs at me. "That's what they all say" says in a sultry voice.
