Chapter 0205
I slowly turn in the direction of the sound to find Rowan seated next to me. It’s like I’d wished him into existence. That wasn’t all. For the first time since I’ve known him, Rowan wasn’t wearing a suit. He had a black V–neck t–shirt and blue jeans.
“What are you doing here?” I stammer, still not believing he was here.
“Noah mentioned you’d be here, so here I am” he shrugs his shoulder casually as if what he just said
wasn’t insane.
Unable to withstand his presence anymore, I stand up and walk away without saying another word. I hear him calling my name, but I ignore him.
I go to the bathroom and try to calm myself. Why now? Why couldn’t he have been like this years ago? Just when I’ve decided to move on, he gets a change in character? It doesn’t work like that.
Splashing water on my face, I harden my heart. It doesn’t matter why he all of a sudden wants to be part
of my life. He and I are done. We were done before we even began.
After I feel more anchored, I step outside only to bump into someone. The scent of the cologne
immediately alerts me to who the person I bumped into is.
I rip myself away from his body as if he’d scorched me. With my hormones all over the place, I didn’t want
him to get the wrong idea.
“Ava” he calls, his voice husky and deep.
“What do you want, Rowan? What game are you trying to play?”
I still don’t understand him and parts of me doesn’t want to. All I know is that he caused me pain. I don’t want to experience that again.
“I’m not playing any game. I just want to talk. There’s something important I have to tell you” he says hesitantly.
I become curious. Rowan is a lot of things except hesitant and unsure. I’ve known him all my life and he has never been this hesitant. He usually gets straight to the point. Whether you like what he has to say or not, that was none of his business.
I study him closely. His grey stare at mine in a way I’ve never seen him staring at me. There was
something about him. Something had changed in him. I just couldn’t tell what it is.
Apart from that, he looked almost fearful. Like he didn’t know how to tell me what he wanted to say and
I get more curios when I notice how he keeps shifting from one foot to another. He was nervous. His nervousness was another thing out of character.
“What is it?” i fold my hands on top of my belly and tap mu foot impatiently against the floor.
