After showering, I dried off and wrapped myself in a white towel before stepping into the living room.<\/p>\n
Then I froze.<\/p>\n
On the couch sat a familiar figure.<\/p>\n
Luis lounged there, bent forward slightly, flipping through one of my design books I had left on the table.<\/p>\n
He heard my footsteps and lifted his head. The moment his eyes met mine, something darker flickered in them.<\/p>\n
After a pause, the corner of his mouth tilted up. \u201cYou like drawing?\u201d<\/p>\n
I dodged his intense stare and tried to sound casual.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just a random magazine. Why are you here?\u201d<\/p>\n
He slowly closed the magazine and tossed it back on the table. His eyes held a teasing glint. \u201cWhat? Not happy to see me?\u201d<\/p>\n
I walked to the desk and put the folder into the drawer as naturally as I could.<\/p>\n
The next second, Luis stood and crossed the room. He braced both hands on either side of me, his head lowering until it rested against my shoulder.<\/p>\n
My body stiffened instantly.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust one day without me, and your body already forgot mine?\u201d His warm breath brushed my ear, making it tickle.<\/p>\n
I lowered my gaze and whispered, \u201cI\u2019m not feeling well.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I hurt you last night, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t answer. Instead, I slipped out through the gap in his arm, trying to put distance between us.<\/p>\n
Luis caught my wrist and pulled me back.<\/p>\n

I stumbled and landed on his lap.<\/p>\n

His arm wrapped firmly around my waist. His fingers toyed with the damp strands of my hair, brushing against my chest now and then.<\/p>\n
A tingling rush spread across my skin, making me shiver without meaning to.<\/p>\n
My mind screamed to push him away, but my body leaned into the warmth on its own.<\/p>\n
I took a shaky breath and shoved his hand off. \u201cDon\u2019t \u2026 touch me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis cupped my face, forcing my face, which tilted to the side, to meet his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong? Who upset you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing. I just don\u2019t feel like it today.\u201d<\/p>\n
He gave a crooked smile. \u201cDid I say I was going to do anything?\u201d<\/p>\n
I felt some things bottled up inside; I could hardly breathe.<\/p>\n
I was never the type to drag things out when I knew this relationship wasn\u2019t going anywhere.<\/p>\n
But when it came to breaking up with him, my mouth refused to let them out.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to get some water.\u201d<\/p>\n
I stood up from his lap, walked straight to the fridge, and grabbed a cold bottle of water.<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you think she\u2019s acting strange today?\u201d<\/p>\n
Griffin\u2019s low voice echoed in my head.<\/p>\n
I kept my eyes on Deanna\u2019s slender back and gave a small nod.<\/p>\n
Strange was an understatement. From the moment she walked in, she avoided me, her eyes darting away every time I looked at her.<\/p>\n
Just then, the red phone on the desk lit up.<\/p>\n
A text flashed across the screen from an unsaved number. \u201cDeanna, I\u2019m sorry. Please come back to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The moment I saw it, I knew exactly who it was.<\/p>\n
I picked up the phone, clicked on the number, and checked the chat window.<\/p>\n
\u201cHappy Birthday!<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll change. I\u2019ll do anything you ask of me. Please forgive me.\u201d<\/p>\n
I tossed the phone carelessly back on the desk.<\/p>\n
A mix of anger and possessiveness surged through me.<\/p>\n

No wonder she\u2019s been acting strange. Her old flame had crawled back. Or was she cold to me because she still missed him?<\/p>\n
I stood, walked straight over, and wrapped my arm around Deanna\u2019s waist. Without a word, I carried her toward the bedroom.<\/p>\n
She let out a startled cry, her slippers hitting the floor with a soft thud. Her legs kicked wildly in the air.<\/p>\n
\u201cLuis! What are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t answer. I threw her down onto the bed.<\/p>\n
Her bathrobe slipped at the collar, revealing a pale shoulder. My throat tightened at the sight. My fingers moved to unfasten the top sapphire button of my shirt.<\/p>\n
Deanna pushed herself up. \u201cIs this all I am to you?\u201d<\/p>\n
I leaned over, brushing my teeth lightly against her neck. My voice was rough. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong? Yesterday you didn\u2019t seem to mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her body trembled, and her breathing quickened.<\/p>\n
I kissed all the way up to her ear, catching her earlobe, letting my tongue tease the edge.<\/p>\n
She used to love this. She would melt into me, whispering my name, clinging to me.<\/p>\n
But tonight, she clutched the sheets tightly, her jaw locked, refusing even the smallest moan.<\/p>\n
I lifted my head, bracing my hand on the mattress. My chest felt tight and heavy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat look on your face makes me feel like I\u2019m forcing you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The air went still. I stared at her pressed lips as the heat in my body slowly faded.<\/p>\n
I pushed myself up and stood, my pants hanging loose at my waist.<\/p>\n
Deanna sat up too, her voice barely above a whisper. \u201cI think we both need a little space<\/p>\n
sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n
1 froze, staring at her, complicated emotions colliding inside me.<\/p>\n
After a long silence, the corner of my mouth curved into a faint, cold smile. \u201cFine.\u201d<\/p>\n
