One More Mistake
Chapter fifty

❱ When I looked outside the window, I've seen the beautiful tall building staring back at me. I tried to remember why I came here. I didn't want the bad thoughts to cross my mind but it was impossible. The presence of Alec made it hard to focus on the important parts.

He was the reason why I was feeling like this, he was also the reason why I couldn't feel like myself again.

Alec opened the door for me after giving the key to the valet. I stared at him coldly.

"You ready?" He asked me as he held out his hand for me but I didn't reach out. I got off on my own before waking in the building. When I walked in, I've noticed there was tons of people casually socializing while waiters walked around to give out food in a silver platter.

"Isn't it beautiful" I felt Alec's cold hands touch my bare back. He was behind me while his lips touched the tip of my ear.

All I wanted to do was push him away but I knew that wouldn't be a good idea. I hated that he was acting so normal with me, like nothing happened last night.

"But our reservation is upstairs" he said and he soon left my side. I didn't noticed the waiter waiting for us in the front while holding the menu. Alec started to follow the waiter and I realized that he was taking us to the rooftop.

As we made our way up there, I couldn't help but think about Caine.

I stood him up again.

I wanted to go visit him earlier but I didn't have the guts to face him after what I did. He has left me serval calls and messages asking me if I was going to be able to make it.

I didn't respond to any of them and I felt horrible about it.

I was being unfair and cold towards him but I couldn't help it. It wasn't like I could control it and change the actions that I do.

He deserved better than me, I knew that.

When the waiter had finally showed us our table, he left us the menus before walking away.

Alec looked over at me before pulling out the chair for me. I sat down and soon Alec had sat in front of me but I didn't want to look at him so I looked around.

There was plenty of other people in dates as well which made me feel a bit more comfortable.

The skyline was beautiful from up here, it was breathtaking and suddenly I wished I had came here with someone else.

"You said you hated dates, especially romantic ones" I said as I continued to admire the city.

"I do hate them, but a certain someone kind of forced me to try it out" he responded back and my gaze swiftly turned towards him.

Our conversation from a while ago crossed my mind and I couldn't help but hate myself for setting this up. I didn't know him back then, I didn't know that he would become a whole different person.

But then I realized why I was actually here.

I looked down at the table and sitting there was his phone. Everything I needed to know was just sitting a couple inches away from me and all I had to do was distract him so I could look through it. But the question was, how?
