CHLOE'S POV
"What are we doing here again?"I asked Max, my frown becoming more and more pronounced as we entered Cal's bar. Right, it was Raphael's bar.
"l already told you," he rolled his eyes.
"To make up for my best friend."
He had the urge to make up for his best friend but not for leaving me alone last night, unsatisfied, and disappointed. Thankfully, his hot best friend came to satisfy me. I smiled and took a deep breath before following him inside. I sighed feeling better already. To be
quite honest, I had no clear idea what exactly I was trying to achieve by going here again with Max. I have to see Raphael again and l hated it.
Oh, who am I kidding? Deep down, I knew. I wanted to see him again and to feel him again. Just in a place where I could see him.
I knew it was unfair of me to act like this in front of my boyfriend, but he was also being unfair to me for not giving me what I wanted. For not satisfying me in bed. Never in my life that I have tried to picture another man while I was with someone. That was plain disrespectful.
But earlier this day when Max kissed me, Raphael's face resurfaced in the back of my mind out of the blue. It was stupid and I hated it. I hate his stupid face. His handsome face and his stupid soft lips that kissed me so perfectly.
Max's arm snaking around my waist drew me back to reality. He motioned for me to take a seat next to him on one of the cozy leather couches, and I couldn't help but oblige.
"Raphael is still busy" he said as pulled me closer to him and kissed my temple before he ordered some wine for.
We spent the next half hour in some small talk, and I have to admit he managed to get my mind off his best friend for a while. Max was always funny and kind but I didn't want it that he's keeping a secret from me.
I was just starting to regain my senses and feeling that this thing between Max and me, really could be enough not to think about Raphael anymore even though he can't bed me when it all came crashing down in less than a second.
I knew it was him even before I saw him enter. In such a short time span, somehow my body had a way of sensing when he was around already.
Raphael was there, standing at the door
like he had taken it as his job just to fuck me up. I guess I have to say I kinda had it
coming. Part of me knew that there was a chance l could feel this again and that was exactly why I didn't protest when Max asked me to come with him here.
Raphael nodded at Max and didn't even
send a glance my way, let alone acknowledge my presence there. It was impossible that he didn't see me. My face almost touched Max's face. l almost choked on my saliva as I watched him slip into the crowd of people and went to the counter.
"Hey, are you alright?" I glanced over to my side to see Max concerned eyes surveying
mine.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I forced out. " just think it's the wine. It's making me dizzy."
"Do you want some water?" he asked,
"No, thank you," I smiled. "So, you were saying?"
For a couple of long moments, he simply stared at me without a word.
"Okay then," he resumed. "So, as you already know, I was doing my homework when suddenly.."
Oops, he lost me there again. Instead of gaping openly at Raphael, I focused my attention on the liquid in my glass as Max's voice engulfed me, but I had to muster enough willpower not to stare at Raphael.
The questions piled up in my mind one
after another though. Did he see me?
How does he feel about seeing me with Max again? Didn't he miss me? Didn't he miss my touch, my kiss? I had to chastise myself mentally over how concerned I was about his opinion of me. With time I found myself restlessly wiggling on my seat. At this point, I had the impression Max had told me everything about him and why was he always leaving me but I ended up not remembering a single thing. Still, I let out an occasional 'hmm,'ooh', 'ah, 'really?' to feign that I was actually. invested in this conversation.
Unfortunately, I never had a lot of self-restraint, without conscious thought, I let my eyes casually drift in Raphael's direction, and my heart skipped a beat when our eyes met. Just for a second. Then the second was gone, and he looked away.
