Chapter 80

Mia's POV

"Who's Jack?" He asked, his tone filled with nothing but seriousness.

"Jack," I repeated.

"Yeah .. You told me that your nephew's name was Jack. That sounds nothing like Elliot."

"Was that why you were so mad two nights ago? Because you think there's another guy? Is that why you're acting so insecure right now?"

That would make so much more sense as to why he stormed off without even looking at me.

"Pretty much. I can't help but think that you were alone with some fellow and God, just imagining you were with that jerk of a guy called Jason or whatever .. I can't even..." He shifted so that his body faced me. "I can't take it. Just put me out of my misery, if you were with another guy just let me know now."

"You're unbelievable," I told him, holding my forehead with the palm of my hand. "Have you always thought of me that way? That I am that promiscuous?"

"What? I didn't say that.."

"Sure you did. You accused me of sleeping with Harry simply because I was wearing his clothes and now you're accusing me of being with Jack, someone who might not even exist! If you knew me but at all, you would know that I would never sleep with anyone but --" I stopped myself, mid sentence, not wanting to give him the satisfaction that I was going to say him. I really needed to work on my filtering.

"Sleep with anyone but -- who?" He knew exactly who I was going to say but I bit my tongue, refusing to speak. "Me?"

I bursted out into a delirious laughter. "You wish. I was going to say anyone but Liam Hemsworth."

Liam Hemsworth? Really Mia.

Hey. If Katniss wanted Peeta, I'd be more than happy to be with Gale.

"Liam Hemsworth?" He arched a brow.

"Yeah, he is, hands down, the most attractive man I've ever seen."

"Uh-huh...So are you going to answer me or not? Who is this Jack guy? Does he even exist or am I overthinking it just like you do everything?"

"And if I said that there was a Jack .."

"I knew it!" He exclaimed, a small smile of relief curved on his lips.

"Knew what?"

"That there's no Jack."

"I never said that."

"Yeah, but you're a terrible liar."

He was always so boastful. He acted as if he knew everything about me.

Out of nowhere, this need to feel in control overpowered my logic.

I wanted to get back at him. After everything that he had done to me - plotting with my father, kissing Perrie, and now forcing me into this ridiculous engagement without my permission - I wanted to make him feel what I felt.

"You wanna know the truth .. Jack does exist.."

"No he doesn't." By his playful tone, he wasn't buying it.

"He was my ex boyfriend."

"I was your first boyfriend."

"That's what I told myself to forget about my first real relationship. He broke up with me out of nowhere and I couldn't accept it. I stayed in my room for weeks ... But when he came to my mum's funeral, I was in a vulnerable place in my life because I had just lost her, he came over, comforted me and one thing led to another and we --"
