1. A mess

Rowan

Today I was hoping to have a wonderful evening with Emma, but that was blown to shits when I

saw Ava out on a date with Ethan.

“Rowan?” Emma calls me but I just can’t get my brain to function.

There, Ava stood in the arms of another man. At first I thought that my eyes were playing tricks

on me. I had been happy because seeing Ethan out with another woman proved he was a weasel.

That was until I realized said woman was Ava

She was stunningly beautiful. A sight I have never seen before. Her flawless skin was on display

and the little black dress she had on showed her curves.

Sure I’ve seen her naked before but this sight hit me differently. She had dressed up, something she never did when we were together. Probably because I never asked her out and never bothered

with her.

seeing red

She smiles at him. A smile that for an unknown reason almost brings me to my knees.

“Rowan, you’re hurting me!” Emma snaps.

It’s only then that I realize that I had tightened my hand around her. I loosen it before turning in the direction of Ava. Our eyes collide but she quickly averts them, before stepping into Ethan’s car.

I wanted to rage. To destroy something, someone actually. I wanted to hit Ethan to a bloody pulp. I was mad at him and at my reaction at seeing him with Ava
