"I know we broke up, but.., " he whispers in my ear, trailing his finger lightly along my arm. He places a soft kiss on my collarbone, making a shiver course through me.
He tilts his head so he's staring straight into my eyes. His pupils dilate as...

I see a man and a woman kissing. He had his arms cupping her face while she wrapped her arms around his waist.
The man was my dad.
But the woman wasn't Shelia.
I stood froze to the spot, unable to say a word. Gray immediately stands in front of me, blocking my view, but it's too late. I already saw the scene.
My dad was cheating on Shelia.
"Kelch, get in the car. Please, " Gray pleads softly.
This time I listen to him and get into the car without saying a word. Gray starts the car and drives away.
I stare down at my fingers, refusing to look at Gray. He had seen my dad kiss another woman. I knew he cherished his mum and couldn't even begin to imagine what's going through his mind.
He probably hates my dad now. Maybe he hates me too. I bite my lips in an attempt to stop myself from crying.
I knew my dad wasn't the type to cheat, but I did see him kissing another woman. I've never seen my dad with another woman until his relationship with Shelia, so I'd like to believe he's a loyal man.
I trust him.
Life being the fucked up bitch that it is, decided to let my phone ring at that moment.
I stare at Shelia's name on my phone till it stops ringing. Gray didn't seem to notice my phone ringing, preoccupied with his thoughts.
A message from Shelia comes in a few minutes later.
Sheila: I'm about to make lunch and would like to know if you'd be coming home soon.
I bite down harder on my lower lip. Here Shelia was, caring about his daughter, while my father was gallivanting around with a stranger.
Me: I'll be home by dinner.
I sigh and switch off my phone, resting my head on the headrest. I kept on thinking there has to be a reason why I saw what I saw, but couldn't come up with anything.
Cheating is cheating. There's no excuse for cheating.
"Where are we going?" I ask Gray, breaking the awkward silence.
"A high up place, " he replies with a small smile.
"Heaven?" I scrunched my brows.
"No. A cliff, " he laughs.
What?
A few minutes later, we are driving past the mountains. Gray pulls up to a spot just before we get to the cliff. The mountains were quiet. The only noise around was from the rustling of trees and the chirping of birds.
