'I thought he'd be jealous when he heard I got engaged. I was naive. He doesn't care at all, '
Blair thought bitterly as she tried hard to not shed tears in front of him. If she cried, she would look weak. In a relationship, whoever falls in love first hurts more. She was well aware of that, but she was also a proud girl.
She walked past him and reached out her hand to open the door to the stall, but he stopped her. He pressed her against the wall and pressed his lips against hers. She was trembling the whole time.
Blair was unable to hold back her tears anymore, and they streamed down her cheeks. 'What's he doing? If he doesn't like me, why kiss me? And this isn't the first time! What does he want?' she thought to herself.
A teardrop rolled into her mouth. The salty taste reminded her of their relationship, and the many things that happened. Wesley loosened his grip on her and panted in her ear. After a long pause, he said in a hoarse voice, "Study hard and forget me. Maybe you should go."
'What? Does he think I shouldn't have come to dinner? Maybe he has a point there. Among the other four juniors, two are Uncle Adalson's sons, and the other two are Uncle Baldwin's sons. I'm only Uncle Adalson's niece. Does he think I came here to see him?
But if I didn't come, would he think I was playing hard to get? Ugh!'
Tears welled in her eyes once more. Actually, she really didn't plan to bug him, nor did she want to be here in the first place. She was afraid that once she saw Wesley, she'd lose control and all the feelings would come rushing back.
'He kissed me because he wanted to comfort me? But that's not what I want!'
Blair raised her arm and was about to hit him.
She knew she shouldn't. This man was a superhero. But she was so pissed off that she just couldn't fight the urge to slap him.
However, Wesley was faster than her, catching her wrist.
Blair grew even angrier and punched him hard in the chest with her other fist.
This time, Wesley didn't stop her nor dodge. He just let her punch him nonstop. If this made her feel better, he was happy.
Blair finally stopped after a while, her knuckles red and swollen. She felt like she was hitting a rock.
They heard someone lock the stall next to theirs. Blair wiped her tears off her face and said in a low voice, "You look strong, but I bet you're bad in bed."
After that, she pushed him away and left the stall.
Wesley couldn't believe his ears as he looked at her retreating figure. 'I'll show her how good I am in bed, ' he swore to himself.
To Blair's intense surprise, before she could leave the men's room, the door of the stall next to theirs was opened. She looked back out of instinct and saw Hartwell.
Wesley also walked out. Blair's face was flushed from embarrassment.
She wanted to explain, but Hartwell said, "You two were gone a long time, so I came to look for you. Lucky I found you here."
'So he just happened to find us here?' Blair and Wesley both thought it was Niles who snitched on them.
"Hartwell, it's not what you think. Wesley and I are just friends. We were trying to have a private discussion," Blair explained hurriedly.
'What a lame excuse! Having a discussion in a toilet stall? And caught by Hartwell. How embarrassing!' she thought.
