Chapter One Hundred–Thirty–Seven

FELIX

“How did you move so fast?” I asked, my heart banging against my the Maybe a tle more tipsy than I thought I was. But ho. It can’t be that. Because he was on the sofa, 1 was looking at him as I walked in the kitchen. Then all I did was turn off the stove which takes: three seconds, or five if you really wanna stretch things – then I turn back around and poof. He’s right on top of me.

Like… literally… on top of me.

He’s got me blocked against the pantry, with his arms bent at the ethos and his hands on each side of my head. And now he’s staring down at me with crazy eyes.

“Say something.” I whisper.

He sighs, his hands fisting next to my head as he clenches his jaw and his body tenses. The strain–of his muscles flexing as he stares into my eyes. But still, he remains quiet.

Suddenly it occurs to me exactly what the problem is and it forces a lump into my throat. From the moment I met him, he’s held a certain opinion of me. Even after he realized that was the victim that day at the club. He knew what I was and he hated it. Maybe he even hated me for it. Maybe… he still does.

His eyebrows draw together swiftly, his head drawing back. “Can’t do it? Can’t do what?”

I chuckle sadly, pulling my arms up and crossing them to protect myself like I always do. “You can’t get past it,” is all I say, because if I have to spell it out for him, and he walks away from me… my image of him will be ruined forever. And something tells me that no matter where I end up, or who I end up with… it will always be him, for me. As crazy as it sounds, it is just something that I know,
