Gigi slapped Zack hard, leaving a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Initially, Gigi wanted to continue slapping him, but the sight of blood made her hesitate.
"Why didn't you dodge?"
"I was wrong, you should hit me."
Zack wiped away the blood from his lip and looked up at Gigi, who was filled with anger.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have used you like that. It was my mistake."
Gigi slapped Zack again!
"Is using me the only thing you did wrong?!"
Zack held his hurting cheek and looked at Gigi, confused.
"Apart from using you, did I do anything else to hurt you?"
"Nothing?!"
Tears started to well up in Gigi's eyes.
"You even lied about your name, have you ever thought about how I feel?!"
Zack hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth to explain, but realized he had nothing to say. He had indeed lied about his name.
"I'm sorry, it was my mistake. I didn't consider your feelings..."
He thought Gigi was just a fling, a casual encounter where they both got what they wanted and could easily move on.
