Chapter 22

I FILLED MY lungs with salty air before I speak. “Do you really have a relationship with her? I-I mean, since when?” I don’t care if I sound desperate. I just really want to know the truth.

His perfect jaw tightened, tugging the corner of his lips frantically.

“What do you want me to answer?” he asked bluntly. His eyes remained dark and shrouded.

“Okay, I’ll take the dare,” he rubbed the back of his neck frustratedly and waited for my reply.

“Kiss me,” I bravely said.

Almost everyone was stunned by what I said, but I lit up my chin to show I am serious.

He clenched his jaw tight and lightly shook his head at my remarks.
