Operation Revenge

Chapter Seven: Confrontations

"We need to talk about what Reese? And need we do it in the damn bathroom?" I asked my voice dripping in annoyance.

"I mean, we could do it in the bathroom..." He winked at me. I felt my blood boil. Is he serious right now?! His girlfriend is sitting in the damn living room, he knows that i have a boyfriend and he seriously has the nerve to say that to me?

"Oh my god, shut up! You're dating Cindy, who may i add i am now friends with, and i'm dating Tadley so it's not happening! What do you wanna talk about so i can go back?" I demanded crossing my arms over my chest and glaring at him.

"I want to talk about us..." He pled. He can't be serious....this just keeps getting better and better....note the sarcasm!

"There is no us, Reese! Look, i already said that i forgive you for everything that happened, so there is nothing left to talk about." I went to push past him to go out the door but he grabbed my shoulder and gently pushed me back.

"I like you, Kenslea! I always have.... i want to be with you.." He said desperately. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.

"No! No, no, no.... You're not doing this Reese!" I spat out raising my hand in front of me to stop him. "Let me ask you this, Reese... If you have always liked me so much, why did you sit back and let your friends humiliate me on a daily basis? If you liked me so much, why would you refuse to be seen in public with me? Why would you never even look at me if we were in public? Answer me that, and i'll never bring it up again." I said still glaring at him.

He just looked at me, not being able to answer me, and it kind of pissed me off. How can he sit there and say he always liked me when his actions have proved otherwise? The longer he was silent the more pissed off i got.

"Not gonna answer? Let me do it for you... It's because you can't think for yourself, you go with what everyone else is doing or saying, it's because you care too much about what others think of you. So don't you dare sit back and act like you've always liked me, because half the time you acted like i didn't even exist. You never saw me, Reese... You saw what was on the outside but never tried to look past it and get to know the real me. The me on the inside. So, you can say you've always liked me all you want, but i know the truth. Your actions spoke volumes, you only liked me once i came back and you seen i changed!" I brushed past Reese and unlocked the bathroom door and walked out and back to the living room where the others were fighting over a movie.

If Reese would have said he liked me two years ago i would have been over the moon. I wouldn't even hesitate to reply that i liked him as well. But i've changed over the years, i learned not to listen to people's words, but their actions. Because the saying is absolutely true; Actions speak louder than words. I know what i'm worth, i know what i deserve. And Reese is no longer it. I never thought i would say that but it's true.

Does he really think he can just spit out that he likes me and that i'm going to jump his bones? Or that i will want to be with him? He's got a girlfriend for fucks sake and he's trying to get with me...That speaks volumes of what kind of guy he is... My phone vibrated on the table pulling me from my thoughts and i grabbed my phone.

"Is it your man?!" Lacey asked wiggling her eyebrows at me.

"Yessss!" I grinned.

I felt giddy inside seeing Tad's name on my phone, he really is an amazing guy, and he's always had a special place in my heart because he was always there for me when i was getting bullied. But it's so much more than that. Tad is good, he's amazing, he's sweet, caring, he doesn't tolerate people bullying others, he's just perfect.
