The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn

Chapter 286

~SCARLETT~

I touched my lips while I stared at my pink cheeks in the bathroom mirror.

My body was still tingling from head to toe.

I kissed Carter. Technically, he kissed me, but I also kissed him back in front of hundreds of spectators. A part of me didn’t want the kiss to stop.

I grab my phone and stare at the video I was tagged in. Why did we look so perfect together? I always thought he looked perfect with Clara, but I was wrong. For some strange reason, we matched perfectly, at least while kissing. Any other time, I looked like a nerd who was trying her best to gain the attention of the most popular guy at school.

I was so stupid for months; he had me fooled for a long time. I thought he was a good person; I did. I knew there were things that he wasn’t perfect at. He was never romantic or did the little things like open doors for me, but he always protected me. He was always there when I cried, and he never sat back and let anyone bully me.
