Chapter 16
Ethan's POV
I didn't want to do that...
I didn't want to kiss Karla.
Why in the world would I kiss that annoying brat willingly?
I had broken up with her two years ago. I shouldn't call it a breakup though. It's just that I dated her for maybe one month or something. She is the top model of our fashion industry. All we had was over. Actually we had nothing honestly.
But whatever, that day when I went to the shopping mall, she was there and we met. And that stupid ginger head whiny girl began whining to choose her a dress because she couldn't understand what will look good on her.
Heck, even Cinderella's gorgeous blue gown would make her look like an ugly crow.
She is not like someone who always looks like an angel from heaven.
Karla isn't like her.
But I had to listen to her and follow her to the whole shopping mall not to cause a scene in a public place. Yet I did. I ended up causing a great scene.
What could I do without that?
I had no choice.
At least for once, I wanted to make Evelyn feel how I feel everytime I see her with him.
Just for one moment, I wanted to give her the pain I get just to make her understand how much she hurts me.
When I first saw them, I couldn't see her face because that guy was blocking her. They were so close as if they were kissing. At least that's what I thought at the first glance. I was about to look away when he moved and her face came into view. Not anyone else but she, Evelyn.
And that's when my anger took over me. I am not patient but I have enough of it, haven't I?
That kiss means nothing to me, not to Karla either. She is used to kissing uncountable guys everyday.
But could I make Evelyn understand?
I don't know. When I looked for them, they were nowhere to be seen. Leaving Karla there, I quickly made my way to the exit and when I finally got out of the mall, my eyes found them hugging each other. Again...
She was looking so peaceful as her head was resting on his shoulder. And Nick was saying something, I was in a distance so I couldn't hear.
She was in peace and a havoc was going on inside me.
Shit
Why does it hurt so much? God, why just one girl in the world couldn't be without any boyfriend? It's like I am losing her. It's too much pain to bear.
Is it because what Matt said was true?
No, impossible. It can't happen. I don't have feelings. I can never fall for anyone. No, no, it just can't happen.
Then why couldn't I retort back when Matt said that?
It felt like that was true. I couldn't find any answer to give him. If it isn't true, then why couldn't I say anything?
Why?
I'm deep in my thoughts when Matt enters my bedroom angrily. I look up to see his angry expression as he gives me a glare. Turning on the TV, he stomps towards the bed and sits beside me, still puffing. "Matt, what happened?" I ask, frowning.
He doesn't answer me and continues changing the channels.
"See." He says after some time in a cold voice, motioning to the TV.
I turn my head and immediately my eyes widen seeing the news and the headline below.
"Are billionaires in love?"
There's going on the video of me kissing Karla.
Fuck! Only it was left to happen.
I shouldn't have done it. If I just go sunbathing, that becomes news and here I kissed Karla in a public place.
I just wanted Evelyn to see and now the whole world will see the news.
I'm so screwed. How could I become this stupid?
I look back at Matt as he gives me a disappointed look.
"Why in the north pole did you freaking kiss that girl?" He shouts, "Are you crazy? Did you forget who you are? Now everyone will see this news including Evelyn. Just great." He mocks and I put my head in my hands, exhausted.
"Evelyn was there. I did it in front of her eyes." I answer slowly to which his mouth hangs open as he looks at me in disbelief.
"Why?" He shouts again. "Why did you do that? What will happen now? You idiot, do you even think about the consequences before you do something? I just can't believe you. Only thing now I have to say is that you are fucked up." He hollers before shaking his head in disappointment.
I know very well.
I'm a stupid.
"Did you think I was joking that day when I said you are falling for Evelyn? Now what would she think? How could you hurt her like that?"
"She isn't hurt. She doesn't care if I kiss Karla or not. Why would she care?" I reply in a slow voice.
"Yes, she is hurt. I know she's hurt but a stupid like you could never understand that. Now you will see what happens. The few days I know Evelyn, she's a strong girl, not a crybaby. She won't cry sitting in a corner just because a fucking asshole like you hurt her. She will teach you a good lesson. Just wait." He says in a breath, standing up.
"What will she do?" I ask.
"You will see." He says giving me a hatred look before leaving the room.
I look down at my hands thinking about what he said.
What else will she do?
Is anything left there?
She is hurting me every moment. Every freaking second, she's in my mind. Office, business, reputation; now everything is useless to me. I can't concentrate on anything. Now all I can think of is her. She is driving me crazy. Is there anything more she can do to me? Can she hurt me any more than she is now?
When I first saw her, I was shocked. I felt like something was going to happen and now with every passing day, my conception is getting true.
The Ethan I knew for my whole life, she changed him just in a few days. She changed me.
Maybe Matt is right.
Proving me wrong, making all the impossibilities possible, maybe I am falling for her.
I'm falling for Evelyn.
Or maybe the worse...
I might've already fallen.0000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
