Words That Cut
Kelly’s POV
“Let me go,” I said coldly as I shot him cold glares. His expression softened. and his eyes flickered with a strange emotion. Fear? Pain? I don’t know and I don’t care. I just talked to his mother and told her that I will not get involved in her son’s life anymore. It would be my shame if I didn’t act upon my words.
“Can we talk for a while?”
My forehead creased. “Talk? What’s there to talk about?”
“Please, Kelly. I want to clear things between us.”
Clear things. Right! He’s right. We should talk about us and end us properly. We never had the chance to have a closure and that’s probably the reason why I still hold onto him and still hurting because of his broken promises. Maybe I can finally let go of our bitter ending once we talked this out.
I looked at him blankly and slowly nodded, “Fine.”
I averted my gaze from him when he smiled as his eyes twinkled for some reason. He seemed so happy that I agreed to talk to him about us. I don’t know what’s on his mind but I only have one thing in my mind now….ending us
completely. I need to do that to be able to move forward.
He brought me to a familiar cafe. My lips parted as I paused in front of the shop. The exterior design of the cafe was still the same and the ambience. brought back the memories. I feel like I couldn’t move my feet to enter the cafe but I know I have to. I have to say goodbye to the past and saying goodbye to familiar places like this is not an exception.
I took a deep sigh before entering the cafe. Pierce was already at the counter. when I entered. He was waiting for me but unlike before, I didn’t walk towards. him. I picked a table and sat there comfortably. I saw him looking my way with a pained expression. I don’t even understand why he looked like that.
He walked towards me after a sigh. I just watched him silently with cold stares.
“What do you want?”
Does it matter? I scoffed in my head as I sensed bitterness in my own question.
“Anything.” I answered languidly.
He stared at me for a few seconds before he nodded and walked back to the counter. He ordered for us while I waited until he came back.
I crossed my arms after he sat in front of me. “Where do we start this conversation?”
“I just…wanna know if you’re really with Klay Carver.”
I stared at him blankly. Why does it bother him? I’m not with Klay but if ever I
m, what is it to him? Why does it matter?
He looked down, “Why him, Kelly?”
“Why not him?” I threw a question back. He was shocked by my remark.
He stared into my eyes and licked his bottom lip while shaking his head. “He’s your step brother.”
I was about to say something sarcastic when an old woman approached us. I recognized her as the owner of the cafe. She knows us and I also know the meaning behind her sweet smile. She put our order on the table while still smiling.
“Oh, you two! I’m glad you’re still together. I supposed you’re married now?”
I immediately shook my head but Pierce nodded at her. I looked at him in disbelief. What the hell is he doing?
The Mrs. smiled at me and looked at Pierce before she walked away. I bit my bottom lip and looked at Pierce with irritation after the woman disappeared from our sight.
“What was that?” I asked angrily.
“We were once married. It’s not like that simple nod would ruin your relationship with Klay Carver.” I sensed bitterness in his voice but I’m not. dumb to fall for the same trick again. I was once fooled by his complicated actions and feelings. I don’t wanna disappoint myself for the second time.
I
I grabbed my bag in anger. “Doesn’t mean you can go around doing whatever pleases you. Let me remind you, Pierce. We’re over-”
“Then why did you agree to come here if we’re over?”
My forehead created What? I can’t believe him!
“A way to a woman’s heart is through her stomach,” she said, smiling sweetly. ” Coax her just like before.”
