"Are you okay?" Stella was the one to break the silence. Ian seemed to have broken out of his trance before he hurriedly picked up the books he had brought over. His eyes seemed to be unfocused as he placed them on the desk.
"Sorry, I-I brought these over." As he left, he managed to catch a glimpse of Amy who was looking at her phone with a troubled expression although her ears were red. 'She can't even look at me', Ian mused. No doubt, he was hurt by her actions. He excused himself and went to the storeroom.
Meanwhile, Amy felt like her heart would burst out of her chest. The other day, she had confirmed her suspicions. She had a hard time falling asleep knowing that fact but what she was unsure of was whether Zachery knew he was texting her. She was really curious as to why he approached her.
The possibility of him knowing she was A.J were slim to none but the man was capable. She really wished he had figured her out but again, she could be wrong. As much as her heart sung a different song, she made a firm decision to not respond to his emails. That way, he would give up on whatever ruse he had been on. But what she did not expect was another email from him.
***.com: 'Are you there?'
It was a simple question, but why could she detect the same gentle tone he used when he had been with her? She could almost picture his gentle gaze as he uttered those words to her. Why was her heart beating so fast? And why was her face heating up so much? With a few taps of her fingers, she could respond, she really wanted to. But she fought it. 'Ignore him', she chided herself.
"Everything okay?" Stella asked. She was quick to note the change in the girl's emotions.
"I'm fine", Amy managed a smile but it was weak. Stella frowned at seeing this.freewebno(v)el
In the library storeroom, Ian was pacing back and forth. The young man was frustrated. He knew Amy was married, and her husband was away. He had never fallen for a married woman before but he thought their relationship was not that great and her heart started to waver towards him.
He was probably wrong, he should have never fallen for her. But why would she cry over him? Why would she blush in his presence? Was she playing him? Mentioning her husband, was this some petty revenge because of what he did last time? His face was contorted from frustration. His head whipped toward the door when he heard a knock. Someone entered and locked the door behind them. He knew that brunette from anywhere.
"Mona", he acknowledged. His face was void of emotion. Her brows rose as she crossed her arms against her chest.
"Not going to tell me 'we shouldn't do this anymore'?" She chuckled.
"The door's is right behind you if you'll keep talking shit or bring your ass over here."
Mona was shocked by the coldness in his tone but she smirked as she sashayed towards him. The angrier Ian is, the more active he is. She liked him like this. Her smile grew with these thoughts as she walked towards him.
