Book 2: "Against Everyone"

Lauren POV

It feels like forever reaching his condominium leaving the plan of getting my car in my house at the first place. Everything is suffocating me, our silence is killing me and everything hitting my guts and self-esteem.

He parked the car as I unbuckled my seatbelt and hurriedly picked up my clothes at the backseat. I made a big steps leaving him behind as I take the stairs instead of taking elevator for I know were gonna stuck together and I don't want any confrontation. It's already slap to my face that he doesn't feel the same way as I did.

I expected him to arrived first than me. But what caught me off guard is he's leaning on the door of his unit waiting for me. He's perfect physique leaning making him look like a model. I divert my attention to anything I could think of.

"Let's talk."

He said softly while making eye contact with me. His hazel brown eyes showing how sorry he is. And that's how my heart scatter into pieces cause this thing inside my chest already jumping to the conclusion that his eyes telling how sorry he was for the intimacy we shared. I hate to make assumptions but this thing inside my chest is already making it hard for me.

"We have nothing to talk about."

"Lauren-"

I cut him off abruptly while typing the password.

"Don't call me that. Go back to the green eyes that you used to."

I open the door and made my way inside without sparing him any glances.

"Good evening kids, how-"

Ms. Harper stop in her mid sentence when she notice something is off. I fake a smile at her and made my way upstairs. I instantly went inside my room and suppose to lock the door when he already blocking it using his foot.

"Let's talk please."

"We have nothing to talk about. I'm tired and I wanted to sleep. I'm sure you are to, go to your room now."

I push the door but before I could he already went inside and lock my door for me.

"What is wrong with you?"

I almost scream but I didn't, I didn't let my anger eat me.

"Look what you said earlier am ...I didn't mean to-"

I cut him off not wanting to embarrass myself even more.

"Forget what I said, I didn't mean it. I was just kidding, don't overthink everything."

He clenched his teeth and he look so furious right now. He's confusing as hell but part of is getting goosebumps.

"You're impossible though. Take that back, tell me you weren't kidding right? Look, I'm sorry that I had-"

I didn't let him finish his sentence to at least save my pride.

"Stop apologizing, I know you're sorry for everything. I know how sorry you are for kissing an ugly woman. I got it, I just got carried away. You can go to your room now, were done talking."

I push him trying to get rid of him when he caught my wrist and push me to the walls rather. Our nose is literally touching, his eyes is raging from anger. I suppose to be the mad one but here he is controlling me like a god damn puppet.
