His Trouble Maker

Chapter 76

JESSICA

“So,” I mutter, kicking a rock just to have something to look at that isn’t his face. “That was… wildly productive.”

Riot doesn’t answer. He stood a few feet off, arms tight across his chest, eyes flat and cold. Always pissed too. “You mad I didn’t take training seriously?”

He said nothing. That was yes.

“I did push–ups.”

“Three,” he muttered, finally. “Then you flopped down like you were sunbathing.”

“It was hot.” I shrugged, lazy, teasing. “You flopped down with me too remember?

That made him snort.

I swear Riot probably have multiple personalities. I just can’t figure him out. Earlier, when he offered me advice, I literally gawked at him. He’s so unpredictable. No wonder he’s…I blink not wanting to really remember Grayson. I got a lot of problem right now and him being with Aria should not bothered me.

Hell, I broke up with him. So it should be okay with me, right? If he wants another woman to satisfy his needs or… but I wouldn’t do that to him. I remember how I was literally in heat but all I cared about is just pleading Riot to just touch my arms.

How is that not pathetic?

Goddess, I hate myself.

And still–still–I love him.

Stupid, wreck–me, ruin–my–life love.

I can’t think of better scenarios in my head if what happened between them that night.

“Did you hear what I said?”

I catch myself mid–thought and Riot being so close to me. “What the hell?” I quickly shove him away because I can literally feel his hot breath on my face. “What do you think you’re doing?”

There’s a slight frown on his face before he darkly chuckles and mutter a great fuck under his breath. See? Multiple personalities.

Well, fuck. I’d thought I already heard the worst insult there is but that shit coming out of Riot’s mouth is simply…
