I couldn’t tell him I didn’t love him or didn’t want to be with him because it was all I wanted. Tears ran down my cheek. “I love you too Lexus.” He pulled me to him and kissed me with passion.
“Ew.” Cade groaned. “You guys are gross, is it over?”
I pulled away and looked at Cade. “Uh no… we’re not going through with the rejection.”
Cade rolled his eyes. “Whatever, let’s go back to the ball.” He ran to the river and fell to his knees as he threw up.
Lexus laughed. “Let’s go before someone comes looking for us.” He looked down at me. “I’m going to end this with Sadia in the morning, I just don’t think right now at the ball is the right place.”
I understood. “Okay.” We started walking down the hiking trail.
“Wait for me.” Cade ran to us. On the walk down I had to fix my bun and dust off the ends of my dress.
