• TWO YEARS AGO •

As we stepped into the room, Britney's eyes locked with mine, and she started making her way over to us, as any gracious host would.

"Nara," she greeted me, a thin smile stretching across her pink lips, "I don't remember inviting you."

"Oh," Leon grinned, slipping his hand around my waist, and pulling me towards him, "she's here with me."

"Really?" Britney asked, hurt and surprise flickering across her eyes, until they hardened into a steely gray. "You're together?"

"Yeah," I grinned, stretching my own red lips into a wicked smile. I pinned her under my glare (now terrifying, thanks to Leon), and let out a short chuckle as she took a step back.

"You know," Britney started, keeping her eyes locked with mine, "she's probably just using you for revenge."

"Why would I ever want revenge?" I asked her innocently, feeling Leon's grip on me tighten. She opened her mouth to speak, but I successfully cut her off before she began. "Besides, Leon and I really like each other."

"You do?" she choked out, feigning surprise.

"Yeah," I grinned, reaching up to place a soft kiss against Leon's stubbly cheek. "Why don't you go and get us drinks?" I whispered into his ear softly. He nodded in response, pressing his lips against mine momentarily, winking at me as he walked away from both Britney and me.

"Nara, if this is about-" Britney started, taking a step towards me.

"This isn't about you, Britney. My life doesn't revolve around what you want. It revolves around what I want," I snapped, rolling my eyes at her surprise.

"Really, Nara? Is this what you want?" she asked me, with raised eyebrows.

"Yes. It is," I snarled cruelly, pushing past her with a shove.
