Nicholas and I were pressed tightly together. Our faces were so close that I could see the stubble just starting lip under the strange lighting here.

He reeked of cigarettes, and there was no longer the

tea scent. used to love. I tried to push him away, but he grabbed my hands and hooked them around his neck. He then kissed me even more fiercely.

My eyes grew damp without me even realizing it. I felt a cool sensation when I blinked, and my heart slowly became cold too. Only when he had squeezed every last bit of oxygen from my lungs. did he finally lift his head.

His eyes were red as he stared at me intently. “Do you want me to do this with someone else?”

Gripping my face with one hand, he pecked my lips again. “I’ll kiss others like this too!”

I gazed at his throat before slowly moving my eyes to his face and into his eyes. They were swirling with complex emotions. Feeling suffocated, I found it hard to even breathe.

As if he thought I was not upset enough, he grabbed my chest with one hand. “I’ll play with other women’s bodies like this. Would you

My words seemed to have pierced his heart. Looking at me in disbelief, his arms dropped to his sides uncontrollably.

At that moment, we were both enveloped by a sense of

I gently pushed him away and turned around. I knew that there were girls younger and prettier than me behind that door. All I had to do was open it.

His large hand covered mine on the doorknob. Hugging me from behind, he lowered his head to kiss my cheek.

“Ari, let’s start over!”

I turned my face and felt his warm breath on my skin. I hated the smell of cigarettes even more now. Staring at him with disgust, there was a cold smile on my lips.

“What do you mean?”

He kissed my neck softly and mumbled, “We do have a place we can

Pondering his words, I slowly came to my senses. “Even?”
