Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)
Chapter 100: Artistic Mystery
EMMA’s POV :
"Well, I wasn’t expecting to see you here.But, what a great surprise,"he chuckled lightly, pausing for a beat before saying, "How did you know I was here?"
"I don’t.I just happen to walk by,"I replied.
"Wow, fate must have a great sense of humor,"he smirked.
I hadn’t seen him in two years and I forgot how much his smile or his eyes had an effect on me.
Quickly, I averted my gaze.
I didn’t want him to know how much of an impact his presence had on me.
"What is all this anyway?"
I blurted, trying to sound as nonchalant as I could.
"It's an art exhibition, of course.My art exhibition,"
he said matter-of-factly.
"Yours? Wait, but how? I mean, what?" I was stammering like an idiot.
He stifled a laugh and said, "It seems like you have a lot of questions.You're lucky I'm on my break, I'll be glad to answer all of them,"
He took a step closer to me and I stepped back involuntarily.
My eyes darted around the room and I noticed that the exhibition visiting hours had ended.
The door was closed shut and it was just the two of us in that room.
Suddenly I felt a shiver up and down my spine.
"I don't understand,"I said to him.
"Why are you exhibiting your work here? You're not working in that gallery with Ally anymore?"
"No.As it turns out, we don't have the same vision for the gallery,"he shrugged as if it wasn’t a big deal.
That gallery meant the world to him, he poured out his time, heart, and soul into that gallery.
But here he was, making it look as if it was nothing.
"Why? I thought you two are..."
"Are what?"
"Together,"I said bitterly.
"No, we're not,"he shook his head.
"But, that night? You two were — "
"That night was a mistake,"he said firmly.
"I was ridiculously intoxicated and I was totally blacking out, I would've made out with a dude if he was in front of me,"he laughed.
"So, you weren't in love with her?"I had to repeat that again to make it clear.
"Fuck no,"he scoffed.
"We've been through this already.She was only a friend to me,"
He was shrugging and grinning, but I wasn’t amused.
That night was the night that scarred me for life.
I didn't understand, I thought he was being difficult with me because he wanted an out from our relationship to be with Ally.But if that wasn’t it...
"So, why did you break up with me then?"I asked.
"Because I thought you were cheating on me with someone else.But man, was I wrong about that too,"he rolled his eyes.
"Huh?"
"I saw you and your friend Tristan around your campus.I came because I wanted to apologize for the whole Paris program thing.But then I saw you two and you looked like you were kissing each other, so..."
' "Oh, that was..."
"Fake, I know," he cut me off, nodding his head and he said, "Your friend told me about it when I came looking for you,"
"So you knew I never cheated, why didn’t you try to get me back?"
"I was too late.You were already gone.And I've messed up so much already.I kissed another girl, drunk or not, that was an ass move.You clearly don't deserve that,"
It was starting to make sense now, all of it.
