Jace sighs. "Mila, don't start" he says.
I look down to the foam swimming on the surface of the water. "You asked, so I answered" I say, but can't help myself to push further. "Is it so wrong to want to know why?" I ask him, even hough I feel uncomfortable talking about it.
"What, so trying to be a gentleman makes me the bad guy all of a sudden?" he says in a pissed off tone.
"It doesn't" I sigh. "But I told you I'm ready for pretty much anything with you, and you still don't want me that way" I tell him, pouring my heart out. "It wasn't hard for you to screw every other girl, why is it with me?" I add, immediately regretting it.
Jace tenses up and jumps out of the bath seconds after. "I can't deal with your kindergarden shit right now" he says, wrapping a towel around him before leaving the room. The door slams shut behind him.
Good job, Mila. I know I said the wrong thing, but the way he's acting is just so confusing to me. I don't understand him at all, and my insecurities rise every time. I
drop my shoulders to the floor and hug my legs with my arms. I messed up, I know I shouldn't have said anything. I can't really enjoy the warm bath anymore, but decide to stay in it a little longer so I won't have to face Jace right now.
For some reason it makes me feel worthless, and my overthinking makes me believe that Jace has another reason for not touching me. Maybe all of this was a mistake after all. All I want is to go home right now.
After a little while, I get out of the bath and dry myself off. I know I'm going to have to leave the bathroom in just a towel to get dressed. I open the door, not daring to take look at Jace. I quickly put on my clothes.
"I'm going to head back to the dorm" I say, feeling like this is what he wants, for me to be gone.
"What? No. Don't be stupid, Mila" he says, sighs and heads over to me. "Come here" he says and embraces me in a hug.
"I shouldn't have said anything" I tell him quietly.
"It's fine. Look, I'm sorry for the way I reacted. Come on, I'll make us something to eat and then we can watch Netflix" he says, as he drags me into the kitchen with him.
"I'm sorry too. That last sentence was stupid" I sigh.
Jace is still avoiding the topic. I can feel it. Why won't he give me answers and why is he acting this way?
We spend the rest of the day just like Jace said. The next morning he drives me to my mom's house, like he promised he would. Things between us are weird since the night before, but for now I don't want to think about it. I'm just happy to get home.
After a good thirty minutes, we arrive in front of my house and I open the car door to leave. I don't expect him to come in and he, clearly, isn't moving.
