Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

I understood what Nicholas meant. He was telling me that the boy who once claimed to like me was not as loyal as I thought-just like Pete. Nicholas approached Pete intimidatingly before saying softly, "Just make sure you know which women you can touch, and which you can't!"

He brushed off Pete's shoulder as if there was some non-existent dust. He then turned and left without looking back.

Watching Nicholas's retreating figure, my eyes stung. Pete got into the car and cursed, "Don't listen to his nonsense. My dad might have arranged blind dates for me, but I didn't go to a single one!" Exhausted, I rubbed my temples as my head was hurting. If only Nicholas could be as steadfast in choosing me as Pete was, I might have been so happy now.

"Ms. Ari, when are you divorcing Nicholas? Come home with me, and my dad won't pressure me to get married anymore!"

"What are you even saying..."
