Dear Ex Wife Please take me back by The Every Woman

Chapter 166

ATHENA

Three days later....

"Today is our last day, and we must make the best of it!" The teacher announces just as Rose pulls a chair to sit next to me.

I barely look up. My mind is still spinning, replaying that night like a broken record on loop.

The kiss.

God.

That kiss.

It had knocked the air out of my lungs and left a dull ache in my chest. I couldn't shake off. Like a burn that wouldn't stop tingling.

I hadn't talked to Alex since. Not properly, anyway. I mean, we share a room, so speaking is inevitable.

We'd shared a few stolen glances, a tension-filled breakfast where I refused to look at him, and one accidental brush of hands that sent my entire nervous system into panic mode.

Rose leans toward me, snapping her gum loudly. "You look like you haven't slept in three days."

"I haven't," I mumble, flipping my pen in my hand.

"Why? You miss Zayan?" She asks.

I pause, turning to look at the growing smile on her face.

Yeah, I... I do."

I'm lying. I don't, but I'm not about to admit who is buried in my mind.

"We're more similar than you think, sweetie." Rose places a warm hand on my back.

"We are?" I laugh.

I don't think so.

"Yep. So I'll help you save time and tell you to just break up with Zayan. He'll be fine. You don't click like you do with Alex. I know that because I, too, was in the same situation.

You see, Ethan did some shady things when we just got married. He didn't cheat. he just hurt me with his actions. Then I divorced him and ran away with my surviving triplets.
