56 On The Line (Book 2)

~Susan~

I woke up early in the morning and decided I would get a glass of milk. I shouldn’t have ingested that much alcohol now I was feeling sick.

I left my room and headed towards the kitchen when I found Devin on the couch, attending to the documents he had left there.

I didn’t know whether to speak to him or just get the glass of milk and leave.

“Couldn’t sleep?” he asked me, breaking the ice, and I nodded.

“Shouldn’t have drank so much gin,” I said, and he looked at me a bit worried.

“I am fine, I just wanted to sleep, and it helped, but I guess it was temporary,” I said, and he nodded, then put down the file in his hand.

He got up and walked up to me.

I stood frozen on the spot.

I wanted to step back, but there was no need. He had done nothing to me.

Devin reached for my face and wiped something away from my cheek.

I was embarrassed because it meant I had drooled while sleeping.

“Hungry?’ he asked me gently with a smile, and I stood frozen.

I couldn’t handle the formality and the friendly treatment. He used to be mine.

“Alice left some..” he started, and I shook my head vehemently.

I felt rage rising in me just at the mention of her name.

I was passive until I got to think of the situation then I got angry.

What Alice did was fucked up, and letting her do that was cruel. I did not do anything to him; I just needed space to think things through and be sure.

“I don’t want anything your girlfriend has touched, Devin. I get the message. Besides, I will be excusing you two and going back to my uncle’s house in the south,” I said, fighting my tears and anger and turning to leave when he held my hand.
