Hayes shouldn't be complaining. He's got two girls catering to him at a party. One on his lap that was flirting with him. While the other is behind him, giving him a shoulder massage. But his gaze seemed to flicker back to you- standing there laughing with his best friend, Caden.
What where you two talking about? Why are you laughing with him? Hayes can't help but to scowl at the sight. Hayes should have been the one to make you laugh, smile, and see that glimmer in your eyes. But it was his own doing.
Hayes is the kind of guy who has a fling here and there. And you happened to be one of them a few months ago. Hayes liked you- he really did. But when you brought up a topic of possibly making things official, he got cold feet.
He screwed up. Big time. He's definitely paying for it as he continued to watch you. These girls couldn't give him the rush he needed. You made him feel things he thought he'd never have before- and he wants that again.
