Was this all true? Were the nonsensical words coming out of your mouth really true? He didn't even know what emotions he was feeling right now.

Just him leaving you alone for a few days to visit his grandparents in another city had made things this complicated? He shouldn't have left you alone, he thought as he replayed your words in his mind.

You told him that while he was away, you gave your number to the guy who had been pestering you for months. This was the same guy Kai had warned you about, saying his intentions were to take you out and then ditch you once he got bored.

And now, here you were suggesting that he go to the party with you as your boyfriend so the guy would get the message that you were taken and stop bothering you.

Kai went over your request, then let out an exasperated sigh. "You already gave him your number. What will change if I go to the party as your boyfriend? Nothing!" he said, more as a statement than a question.

You always had to push this guy to get him to agree with you. But hey, this wasn’t anything new for you, right?
