Chapter 179: You Are The Only One For Me Chapter 179: You Are The Only One For Me Angelia

Jocey and I were at the coffee shop, sitting opposite each other and while I was looking at her, I wasn't actually seeing her. My mind was somewhere far away, and I definitely should feel shitty about it. But I couldn't register anything but what I had seen in the hallway just moments ago. What the hell had Adanna been doing with Marshall? Even with her back turned, she wasn't difficult to recognize. It was hard to admit it, but she was too pretty to be mistaken.

I had known she had a crush on him, that had been hard to miss. But it never seemed like he reciprocated her feelings. However, for my life, I can't understand why she was even at my school. From what I knew, she wasn't attending our university and why had they been standing so damn close? Marshall had clearly seen me yet, he hadn't been in touch afterward. He had to know how it must have looked for them to be standing so close for her to touch him so intimately like that. I mean, he didn't owe me anything. After all, I was the one who initiated our break and he was free to do whatever he wanted, with whoever he wanted. I just...I guess I had thought he wouldn't move on so easily and so fast. My fingers itched to send him a text, but then again, I had given up my say when I said I wanted a break. "Are you okay?" Jocey asked, waving her teaspoon in front of me, clearly trying to get my attention. I blinked, snapping out of it.

"What did you say?" She sighed.

We sat there, talking for quite a while, going through two cups of coffee and a baguette each. I asked her if Godwin had ever asked her out, which he had. After he had asked me for her number the first time I met him, which I refused to give him. He then approached her directly. They had actually ended up going on a date, but there hadn't been any chemistry between them, which was a bummer. Godwin

seemed sweet.

All the while we talked, I still couldn't forget the topic of law. I had a few questions that turned to be asked, mainly about stalking and harassment. But I wasn't sure if it was the best idea. There could be consequences if I had asked them, but it wasn't like I was going to tell her about my situation. Although, maybe someone else's. That should be okay, right?

"Hey, have guys learned anything about stalking in one of your classes?" I asked Jocey, once again her brows furrowed.

"No, we haven't, why?" She asked suspiciously.

"Oh, nothing. It is just a colleague who has some trouble with her ex-husband and the police won't do anything to help with the matter." I tried playing my question off, hopefully successfully.

I immediately regretted asking her about it though, he had made me too fucking paranoid to be talking about this but it t was too late to pull it back now.

Feeling relatively safe with so many people surrounding me, I took the opportunity to divert my attention-briefly to the phone screen. My heart started pounding when I saw the notice was from Marshall. My thoughts went immediately to what I had seen earlier. How close he and Adanna had been. While I didn't want to overreact, it was hard not to. I wasn't best at logical thinking, and it didn't help that I was still struggling with insecurities or that we were on a break.
