Torn Up Love

Chapter Fourteen

My eyes flashed open, my nostrils flaring when the scent of heaven appeared. Well, it was just food but it was my heaven and sanctuary.

My eyes landed on Zac putting out breakfast on the table near us. I pushed myself up, rubbing my sensitive eyes.

"Where did you get that?"

He turned back to me, "Only you would wake up because the smell of this"

"Aren't we supposed to go down for breakfast?" I swung my legs over the bed. He just shrugged, "I got it delivered to our room"

"I didn't know that was a thing" I mumbled, although I low-key knew why he could get it up here. It was because he was Isaac Hawke.

He nodded to the chair and I made my way over, planting myself in it while he sat across from me. It was a full breakfast and my stomach growled at me, warning me to eat it.

I wasn't going to argue, I was famished. The food was hot but I didn't care, I scarfed it down, barely even tasting it. Even though I ate quick, Zac finished only a minute after me.

"You're a pig" he commented and I scowled.

"You finished just as quick"

He wiggled his eyebrows, a sly smile appearing upon his face and I rolled my eyes.

Then he popped into my head.

I felt sick.

Max.

The thought of him and Barbara appeared and my stomach turned over. I felt my whole body shudder but I held back tears now, I only wanted to cry when I was alone from now on.

"Hollie, it's going to be okay" Zac reached out, seeing through me easily. I offered him a grateful smile, that I had to force on. Every time Max came into my mind, I just... hurt. Everything hurt.

It had been only a day though, so it wasn't weird.

Yesterday, I didn't feel anything though. When I had Snake trapped, when Noir threatened me, I forgot all about Max. Instead my veins were on fire and my heart pounded.

It was terrifying but also thrilling. It made my brain forget everything I was stressing about. "What are you thinking?" My eyes flickered up to Zac.

"Shouldn't you be at work? Real work?"

"I took the day off"

"You didn't need too"

"I did" He said slowly, "Jamie can handle it alone today, she's well experienced"

"I'm sure you know just how experienced she is" I commented and he just arched an eyebrow but said nothing else on the matter. I moved the plate out of the way so I could rest my head on the table, "How many girls have you slept with?"

"Not as many as you think"

"Don't you ever want to settle down? Aren't you tired of humping and dumping, you must have hurt some girls along the way"

"I did... and still do" He nodded, "I have to relieve myself someway though"

"Gross" I scrunched up my face, "Don't say it like that"

"My hand can't always do the job"

I pushed myself up, "I said I don't need to know that stuff!"

"Did I make you feel good?" He grinned, "That night?"

"No, like I said, that was a mistake"

"But you told me after it was your first orgasm"

"ISAAC!" I blocked my ears, "I said that to make you feel good about yourself"
