Leilani.
As if biting him was not enough, Kael tried to lean close again, this time, placing his hands gently on the curves of my waist as he drawled;
"Calm down please—"
"What?"
"Calm down, Leilan—"
I however didn’t give him the chance to finish speaking as I then pushed him off, panting like I had just run a marathon as I began to shove him towards the open door.
"Get the fuck out!" I yelled. At this point, the only thing I felt was anger. An overwhelming sense of anger and grief that overrode my senses, filling me with nothing but despair.
Kael tried to struggle against me, tried to talk to me too, but I was too annoyed to listen to whatever he had to say. Too hurt by his casual dismissal of the topic to care about his thoughts. Goddess, I couldn’t hear his words even if I tried.
Tears of rage filled my eyes as I managed to shove him off up until he arrived at the door, and when he tried to touch me this time, I flinched so hard you would think his touch burned.
He lowered his gaze, hissing; "Let me speak!"
"Go home! I do not wish to speak to you, especially about what you wish to speak about!"
My words seemed to have some sort of negative effect on him as he shrunk back, his eyes filling with something I couldn’t name as he dragged in a lungful of air.
When he exhaled moments later, causing his warm breath to fan my face, I winced in disgust, turned away and seethed; "Leave!"
He sighed. "I think you have the wrong ideas. I think you don’t know what happened. Yet, you’re too stubborn to listen to me!"
Maybe it was his words or maybe it was the anger surging through my veins, but I found his words even more difficult to stomach.
My anger knew no bounds when I looked into his deep dark eyes, and I was even more irritated to think that he was feigning innocence.
That he was acting like I was the one at fault.
Because tell me why he is looking at me like I was the one wrong? Tell me why his eyebrows are scrunched together, looking as though he was worried.
I wanted to listen to him in that moment, to hear what he had to say; But just one flashback... one memory of Jennifer and how she’d been sprawled on the floor, her clothes torn into shreds with her skin covered in purple and black bruises had me trembling with anger and disgust.
And do you know what was worse?
How their parents had quickly dismissed the case without a care in the world.
I exhaled. "You think I don’t know what I am saying right?"
"Yes," he breathed out, coming to grab my arm again, but just as his fingers brushed against my skin, I shrunk away and frowned, giving him the stink eye.
"You think I am just blowing all of this out of proportion right?"
"Yes, I think so. But..." he drawled, and to me, that was all I needed to know how callous he was. How unrepentant he could be.
I balled my hands into fists to keep myself from hitting him one more time as I took a step back and slowly pulled the door open. But because he wasn’t paying any attention to his environment and was instead looking at my face as if finding more ways to get hold of my arm, he didn’t realize how easily he was walking into the trap I had set.
