To Be Yours Again by Taylor

Chapter 128 I Can’t Help It

“Can you think straight, Alec Faust?!” Jenny pushed him hard. She could still taste Alec on her lips, and. her heart was in a frenzy.

He looked down at her, quiet.

Some time passed. His low voice sounded in Jenny’s ears. He said, “I really wish I could. I know that I shouldn’t be harassing you. I shouldn’t be the type of person who does this. But…” he looked at Jenny, and his voice cracked, “I can’t help it. The minute I see you with some other guy, I get so mad. I wish I could just pull you close to me.”

Alec knew that the way he was acting wasn’t normal. But what could he do? He couldn’t help it.

He’d delivered a whole speech. Jenny stood rooted to her spot in a daze. The person before her was different from the Alec she knew. She was irritated and pushed him away. “I don’t want to hear this. I’ve told you before that I’m not interested in you. So don’t waste your time on me.”

She walked past him and left the restroom, moving toward the private booth.

Alec watched her leave, his eyes darkening. He turned and walked out of the restroom.
