Ethan's POV

Since when I started to change?

Since when did I begin to behave like this?

Definitely, she is beautiful, utterly beautiful. But she isn't the only one. I have seen a lot of beautiful girls in my life. I always thought they are a bundle of attraction. If I was attracted to any girl, just one night and the chapter closed. That's how my life has been going so far and I was totally fine with it. Badboy hasn't been my title for nothing.

Then in her case, why isn't all the same?

Just why?

What magic those blue-greenish eyes hold that made me rooted to the spot the first time I stared into them? The way she was looking at me, the way her eyes were blinking, Why did I forget how to breathe?

Being near her makes me forget everything, I don't have any control when she is around me. Just a few days' acquaintance but seems like forever... Why?

A question with no answer

But one thing is for sure; it's not an attraction. It can't be. Attraction doesn't make someone feel like this. I don't know what this is. How could I say if I have never had this kind of feeling ever?

The first time I saw her, I knew she was different but I couldn't understand she was this different until now when seeing her with that guy, making me feel like to crash down everything.

If it was just a fucking attraction, I wouldn't want to rip that hand off of him which is touching her.

She lied to me.

She fucking lied to me.

She told me she was sick and I believed that. I came to see her. I was worrying for her what I don't do for anyone. And here she is talking to her boyfriend?

That day she lied to me but now can she deny that he is not her boyfriend?

But...

Why do I care?

Did I ever care which girl has a boyfriend and which one doesn't? Did I ever give a fuck about this stupid stuff? No.

God! Every freaking thing is different when it comes to her.

But whatever the thing is behind all of this, the one thing I know at this moment is that...

It hurts

It is hurting seeing her with someone else...

For some unknown reasons, it just doesn't seem fair.

But is there anything I can do without watching?

No

And I am not used to 'no'.

I. am. not.

I clench my jaw in anger and ball my fist to gain some control as I watch them both staring at me. That guy has a confused look on his face and he slowly removes his hand from her. And Evelyn...

Her back was facing me. She slowly turns around and when our eyes meet, I see her face has turned pale. Her eyes are staring at me in horror and a scared look all over her face.

The silence between us becomes totally uncomfortable. It's a hell of a fact. No matter how much of an awkward situation you are in, the world wouldn't stop. You still have to do something. No escape.

I notice Evelyn collects herself from the shock and forces a smile turning to Nick. Let's get introduced now.

"Hey Nick, meet Mr. Jones, my business partner." She says with a nervous smile and Nick nods confusedly, coming forward.

He gives me a genuine smile and holds out his hand.

Not a handshake, I want to punch you now.

"And Mr. Jones, he... he is Nick, my..."

"I know Miss Gray," I reply curtly and glare at her as she stops, fear flashing in her eyes.

Despite my uncontrollable need to murder this stupid in front of me, I reach my hand out for him and speak up.

"Hello, Mr..."

"Stone. Nick Stone. Nice to meet you by the way" He smiles.

Definitely, it's not nice to meet you!

This time I force a smile, "Same Mr. Stone. Glad to meet you finally." I say mockingly as he frowns.
