Let me know what you think(:

---------------------------------

Recap:

"How long have you known my dear friend Blake for?" He asked resting his elbows on the table between us looking at me curiously

"Not long" I say vaguely running a hand through my hair as I take a sip of my tea

"Ah, have you met the wife yet?"

And just like that, I feel myself go pale

I start choking on my drink coughing as the man grins widely at me relaxing back into his seat while my mind is going in circles

WIFE?!

HE HAS A WIFE?!

Oh my goodness...

I'm such an idiot

"I'll that as a no" he states quite amusingly while I sit there trying to control my rapid heartbeat 

Present time:

Dreadness creeps down my spine as I feel my heart thumping out of my chest

I stare at Jaxon in complete horror and disbelief refusing to believe his words

His lying...right?

"You're lying" I accuse, my eyes begging him to admit that this was all some sort of sick joke 

Much to my dismay, those words never left his lips. Instead, he simply smirked at me in amusement

"Now why would I lie about something like that?" He questions letting out a dark chuckle, "surely you can't think I'm that vile?" he questions me raising his eyebrow at me

I close my eyes as I take deep breaths trying desperately to control my heartbeat and the unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach

In short words, I felt like a car hit me...and then a bus

"I'm quite surprised he hasn't mentioned her to you" Jaxon continued while he rubbed his stubble, "They have been married for three years now"

My eyes widen as I stared at him open-mouthed

three years?! 

Oh I'm going to be sick

I wince not being able to hide my pained expression but that only seemed to distribute to Jaxon's amusement as he simply grinned maliciously towards me

"I got to hand it to him though," Jaxon says as he leaned forward while his eyes scanned my body, "Bastard really knows how to pick them" 

My face morphs into disgust and before I could even respond, Jaxon's gaze fixates on something besides me causing his smirk to turn into an evil grin

"Ah so nice of you to finally join us Blake" Jaxon announces as my stance turns cold by the mention of Blake's name

I can feel Blake's penetrating gaze on me but forbid myself to acknowledge him knowing damn well that if I do, I'm going to break

"Well, come on boy. Sit, Sit" Jaxon motions to the seat next to him as I feel Blake slowly make his way to the opening seat not uttering a word

"We were just talking about your sweet Emily," Jaxon says nonchalantly grinning evilly knowing exactly what he was doing

Wanting to see how Blake would react to the name of his 'supposed' wife, I finally looked up hoping to see his face morph into confusion 

Instead, his knuckles were turning white from clenching his fist too hard while he gritted his teeth. His eyes narrowed and turned pitch blake as his face turned cold with suppressed rage

I look back down trying to conceal my disappointment

I was hoping Blake would deny it..

would deny having a wife..

would deny it all.. 

I stared down to my feet feeling ridiculously stupid

Here I thought, this handsome man had actually taken a liking in me I snort 

All this time he had a wife at home..and I was only his whore I grimace at my own thought feeling disgusted with myself

"Where was I?" Jaxon utters tapping his chin, breaking my train of thought

 "Oh right! Married for three years! It's cute how they met actually. She was modeling in New York for some lingerie company and Blake took one look at her and became completely smitten. But who could blame him? She was definitely a sight for sore eyes" Jaxon said chuckling from time to time ignoring the cold atmosphere

I flinch trying to hold back the tears as I swallowed the lump in my throat gripping on the ends of my seat not being able to listen to any more of this

"Shut the fuck up Jaxon," Blake said lowly, his dark tone sending chills down my spine

Oh so he doesn't have laryngitis  I thought bitterly thinking of how quiet he has been through this whole interaction

Jaxon, however, seemed completely unaffected by Blake's tone as he chuckled looking at me, "His so hot-tempered am I right?"

I massage my temples as I tirelessly look at Jaxon

"It's actually getting quite late so I think I'm going to head out," I say ignoring Jaxon's comment as I get up feeling Blake's eyes analyzing my every movement

Blake suddenly stands up fixing his tie as his eyes remain on me the whole time 

"Oh but we were just about to get to the good parts" Jaxon whines sticking his bottom lip out 

"I've heard enough," I say forcing a tight-lipped smile walking away feeling Blake's presence close behind me

"Angela" Blake grabs my wrist turning me around to face him

"Is it true? Do you have a wife?" I ask timidly

Blake's grey eyes meet mine as his lips turn into a straight line

"First listen to ----" 

"Is it true?" I asked firmly

Blake closes his eyes as he holds the tip of his nose remaining silent

"Is it true?" I asked once more slowly and daringly staring at him straight in the eyes

Blake grabs my hand interlacing his fingers with mine as his grey eyes seem to be pleading me 

pleading me for what though?

"Yes but--"

"Please don't bore me with your pathetic excuses" I interrupt him feeling my blood boil as I yank my hand away from his as if he was fire, "Why don't you do us both a favor and go home to your wife and stay the hell away from me" I snapped looking at him in pure disgust

With that, I got inside my car and drove away leaving Blake behind me where I plead to leave him for the rest of my life..

behind me
