Of course she lied. What else did he expect from her? He couldn't believe anything the woman ever said and he knew that but still, he always gave her the benefit of the doubt and he knew that he was going to do the same thing again. It wouldn't take that long before he would forgive her without her even realizing that he knew she did something terrible. It was the order of the day at all times. He couldn't help but wonder why she would lie though. What did she do that made her lie and how did the doctor get to find out about it? He was curious to have answers to his questions. The problem was how he was going to do it. Jake looked at Sebastian as if the young man would have an answer to the question in his head. He couldn't confide in him though. He was not that stupid. Sebastian already disliked Amanda. If he was to find out about it, he would completely hate her. So he kept his thoughts to himself.Sebastian saw him stealing gazes at him from time to time and wondered what the probl

Jake didn't take anything that she said to heart and he heard her soft footsteps following him as he walked away. He wasn't going to apologize and neither was she. So they both sat down and watched each other as the car drove them to their apartment. Jake had a lot on his mind and apparently, so did Amanda. None wanted to admit to being wrong and none would allow the choices they made to affect their mood. Jake didn't know when he started acting like them. He didn't know when Amanda's character influenced him and made him act like her but he knew one thing, it had to change. He had to stop being so angry all the time and he wasn't going to achieve that by acting like the one person that pissed him off. He looked at Amanda whose gaze was focused on the numerous buildings that the other side world presented and he wanted to apologize till he saw from the mirror that she was smiling. What could be tickling her fancy? Was she happy that he was angry at her? Could that be the cause of her

It was electrifying and Jake didn't want the kiss to stop but he had to put a stop to it when it started to stir up feelings in him. Her lips were as soft as he could remember but the way she kissed was different. She kissed with an urgency, with fire and with emotions. The thought of her learning that somewhere else provoked him and he let go of her. He couldn't even look into her eyes after it. He couldn't stand to listen to her lies about who taught her and where she truly learnt how to kiss like that from. Amanda's hands, soft hands ran through the back of his body and he shuddered at it. Just because she may have been cheating on him didn't mean that he didn't want her to still be with him. The love he had for her was too toxic.He moved away from her, from her touch and tried to focus his mind on something other than what she had been doing with herself for a long time. He found out that it was super difficult for him to do that. Especially when she was in the room and acting li

She didn't know what to say. She could even say anything cause she knew that whatever she said would be sued hugely against her. She knew that it would mean her downfall. She moved away from him and he followed her. He needed to know what was going on in her mind. He needed to know what changed and most importantly who made it change. "Can you at least give me some breathing space?" She asked when she noticed that he clinged to her like a moth to a flame. "I will leave after you answer my question. What changed Amanda?""I don't know, okay. Isn't that what you want me to say? I don't know what changed. I stayed away from you for a while and that must have affected the way I love people.""That doesn't make any sense to me and I'm sure it doesn't to you either." Jake knew she was lying. Whenever she wanted to lie she would say things that doesn't have any meaning. It gave her the time she needed to be able to come up with a better lie. She was that crafty and unfortunately, that char

Chapter twenty-threeHer hands were shaking when she stepped out of the office. They were judging her, she was sure of it. But she couldn't blame them, she judged herself as well.A hand took hold of her and she leaned in for comfort."They are only talking Amanda, they can't hurt you." Jake whispered into her ears and she leaned into the heat that was coming from his rock solid body. He allowed her to breathe him in while he soothed her. It felt like he was at a beach, breathing in the cold breeze. Nothing was better than that."We need to get going." Amanda said as she pulled away from him. He opened the door for her and she nodded and entered. She didn't care if Levi was watching her, all she wanted was to get away from there.Jake got into the car."So where do you wanna go?""You don't even know where you're going to?""What part of, "I'm new to town" did you not understand?" Jake said in a light tone."Fine." Amanda laughed. "Let's go to a cafe or something" "What is that?"
