Happily Ever After (Boys From Hell #2)

- (15)

"I gotta go."

The words were muttered more to herself then to her Chinese friend.

Logan didn't react . He didn't seem surprise to see her here , in fact his eyes were brewing with something.

Something that she had no interest in knowing.

She didn't even hear Xi'an Lee's "Are you alright?" Nor did she respond to her "Gloria?"

With her head down and her golden locks shadowing the sides of her face, she kept it moving.

Logan didn't move.

Well he tried to but as soon as he saw her stalking towards the door, he stopped right there.

Just as she moved passed him, well he was standing in the way to her escape route, there was no other way . .she had to pass by him. . .the second she passed by him, she could see him taking a step towards her but he fisted her hands and didn't approach her.

Don't look.

Do not look!

Her pride didn't allow her to look his way even once even though she wanted to look at him. She wanted to just. .want things go back to normal.

Xi'an Lee must have followed her , she came after her but then Logan held a hand as if signalling her to stop.

She didn't even say goodbye to Xi'an Lee but she would come some other day .

Reaching the glass door, she pulled the door open and stepped outside.

She felt like a huge weight got lifted off of her chest, the weight of his eyes . . .his eyes expecting something from her.

But what?

For her to go straight up to him? Acting like everything was normal when in fact it wasn't? Did he really expect that from her? Did he really think she was that kind of girl? Who would go out of her way to talk to him?

Gloria didn't know she had been holding her breath because as soon as she stepped out. .she blew off a breath of relief.

There went Versace.

She was never ever going to step into that store again! Anything that was related to him was off limits! She was not going to let herself fall into his lies. She was not going to be that stupid girl who shut her eyes and her senses closed when it came to a guy.

Once again she felt bitter at her own state.

Well well if it isn't the consequences of her own stupidity!

Sighing , she started to walk . .not at all interested into looking around at the sparkling stores inviting everyone in. .

The shopoholic Gloria dying in her.

If only she was wise enough not to let that crap enter her life. She was not reckless .

She did not take reckless decisions.

She always weighed in the pros and cons.

But then he came and ruined it all!

He came and let her urges run wild !

Whenever he was around, she couldn't reign in her emotions!

So engrossed in her vehement thoughts, she didn't notice the tall frame stepping beside her . .

"You trying to hide from me again?"

The deep tone caught her so off guard, she whipped her neck towards him . . .her neck cracking. .her lips ajar. .
