He had thrown a lavish"breakup party,"but Ethan was the only man present.
Breakup party?More like a power move to show how many girls wanted him.
Bottles piled before me.With a blurry vision, one face turned into many beofre my eyes.Ethan finally let me go.
"We're...done."
Blackout.
I woke up shivering,like I was in a freezer.
Trying to move,someone splashed water on me.
Noah.
"...Awake now?"
I couldn’t be more awake,lips trembling."...Cold."
Noah steadied me."Drunk like you were drugged.I'll get you water,try to calm down now."
His deft,restrained movements reminded me of Ethan.
Anger flared.Shivering,I taunted,"What,your dick can’t work,Noah?"
"What?"He blinked,then grinned and grabbed my hand.
"If I can,you won't regret it?"
"I will,"I said.
"But I've got enough regrets—what's one more to me?"
I pressed my lip on his, denying his opportunity to say another word.
Noah's eyes darkened.He lifted me,my clothes were soaked and ice-cold with water,I felt like his hands were burning hot.
It only took one second before everything became heated.
By noon,sunlight spilled through blinds.I studied his near-perfect face.
A tiny mole at each eye corner.
Familiar,somehow.
"Girl,can I open my eyes?"
Regret hit instantly.
Noah was Ethan's nephew,long estranged.
Ethan's favorite line about him:
"He's no good."
Hadn’t expected our first meeting to be like this
Trying to slip out,Noah grabbed my collar.
"Regretting already?You cried hard last night,said you broke up.Was that a lie?"
"No..."My head throbbed.
"Oh,"Noah smiled,"I'm an adult"
I thought blocking his number would end it.
But Noah was even more obsessed than Ethan.
"I'll keep pestering you til the day you no longer regret what we did."
