Secrets of Us: A Forbidden Love Romance

Chapter 9

My heart hammers in my chest, that tinging in my ear increasing unil I swear I can't hear.

"I haven't done anything," I whisper.

She scoffs, "I saw you with him this morning. You let someone with girlfriend get that close to you?"

"Shouldn't you be more worried about the fact that he was so close to kissing me?" I can't help the way I scoff at her.

She stomps her foot and yells. "Bitch! He's mine!"

"You should be telling him that, not me."

That only angers her more and I don't move in time, partly from the fact that I am not expecting it at all. She slaps me. Hard.

My cheek stings and that crazy look in her eyes, in her pointed nose and arched eyebrows, intensifies. Her face turns red and her

nostrils flare.

"Stay away from him."

I hold my hand on my cheek and stand up straight. "Did you just slap me?"

She crosses her arms over her chest and lifts her chin. "Yes. And we'll do so much more than that."

We?

She looks over her shoulder. "Will!"
