This is so bad

“You told her,” I bite out, shoving er “You did this”

Brayden’s features morph from shock at what happened to fury “Fuck you, Ashton You did this to yourself when you messed around with Drew and then dry fuckedMia!”

The fucking gall of this guy!

Stalking over to hier in his face “Get lost, asshole”

He srabs the front ofme until our noses nearly touch “You can’t pin this shit on rowls “You fucked up Own it”

It’s true

I did this

It’s easier to blah Tofrom

“Are you owning it?” I sneer, noticing his slight flinch athappy either”

Lo but fuck hi holier than thou

He shoves ainst a row of lockers “What happens between Drew and oddamn business”

I try not to think about the few seconds leading up to the kiss

He was so fucking pissed, but sexy as hell too I’d thought nothing in that moment except for the fact I wanted to taste hiave in to instinct My lips brushed along his for a teasing taste, but then he groaned Needy and curious I craved to swipe ainst his

Curiosity ruined everything

Now I’ to save ed her to let me explain before she bolted, but the truth is, I don’t know that I can explain it to her I sure as fuck can’t explain it to myself

“Ash,” Brayden clips out “Stop, man”

“Can’t,” I grit out eopen the door and choose the stairwell rather than the elevator, taking the steps two at a ti on the third floor, I’y fast AfterI had, to the kiss with Brayden, and then to this, I’ on fumes
