"You're... you're ..you're his brother?!" I say.

He raises an eyebrow.

"That's the third glass broken since we met," He says smirking.

He was with another girl right after kissing me.

     He never told me he had a brother, neither did Nathan but I didn't care about that. It was him, Lexis, that got me riled up. Why did he treat his brother the way he did? Or was I just misunderstanding? I mean I've seen them together only once. Was that why Nathan was uncomfortable? Lastly his smirk, it was his fault I broke another glass and he was laughing at me. I could clearly hear the laughter resonate from deep within him. I bite my lip. The glass seemed to be a sign of how Lexis could shatter my world.

I look around at the glass and Caren's face.

"I'm so sorry," I say bending to pick the glass.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Lexis shouts standing up. The restaurant turns eerily quiet as everyone focuses on us though his table is at a secluded area.
I ignore him picking up the glass as Caren runs off to get a broom. A hand drags me up.

"Are you crazy?!" Lexis says holding unto my hands.

"Yes I am and it's your fault!" I shout releasing my hands and running from him towards the exit. I never wanted this. I felt hurt, betrayed and it hurt because I knew I shouldn't, he never promised me anything and simply kissed me.

I run out ignoring Nathan's call out to me. I run not knowing my destination, refusing to cry.

A car honks at me. I ignore it.

"Hera!" Lexis calls out. I ignore him.

"Do you know where you are going?" He asks. I didn't but wasn't about to tell him that. I keep walking.

"You can't possibly be jealous after sharing one kiss with me?" He says in an almost mocking tone that stops me.

I turn.

"Why would I be?" I ask.

"Because of my date?" He says.

"I could care less about whom you choose to date Lexis," I say. He smirks.

"Then get in," He says.

"No, thank you, go back to your date," I reply as Nathan drives up.

"Hera," Nathan calls out. I walk over to his car and get in gnoring Lexis, praying this gets to him but knowing it won't.

I take one last look back at Lexis as we drive away. He has on an unreadable expression but I couldn't care less. I had school and the call front Jamie to worry about ...Lexis was the least of my problems. It was good that this happened, whatever I may have began to develop for him will be curbed before ever growing. One less problem to have.
