Chapter 57

Annie's POV

Relief washed over me as I saw them take my mother and her boyfriend away. She was a sick woman. Maybe she will have some time to reflect on her actions in jail. As far as our relationship goes, it was over. She never looked at me as her daughter so from now on I won't be calling her my mother.

Nothing went wrong for the next couple of months. I enrolled myself at a university and got a part-time job. It was just a small office clerk position. Nothing too special. But at least I won't feel like a freeloader anymore as Evan was paying for everything. Everything was going well. I was finally happy.

I didn't have anything to do one day so I decided to surprise Evan at his university with lunch. He was always cooking at home so I figured I should treat him this time.

I knew his class schedule so I decided to wait for him outside of his class right before it ended.

I saw him coming out and my heart fluttered. We have been together for a while now but he still makes my heart beat faster.

I patiently waited for him to come outside. He still hasn't seen me yet. I narrowed my eyes as I saw a girl with long black hair approaching him. And who is that supposed to be?

The girl stopped him midway and started chatting away. She threw her hair back and giggled as if Evan is the funniest guy in the world. I don't like that girl, I decided.

I saw her touch his arm. That's it, I am going in...

"Ahem..." I cleared my throat.

Evan turned his head and smiled. His bright blue eyes lit up as soon as he saw me. "Annie! What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I wanted to surprise you with lunch," I said.

"Oh great, I am starving," he said.

"Aren't you going to introduce us Evan?" the girl said. She had a high-pitched voice. So annoying.

"Yeah, Annie this is my lab partner Melanie. Melanie, this is my girlfriend Annie," Evan introduced us.

"Oh, I didn't know you had a girlfriend, Evan," Melanie said.

How dare you not mention me, Evan? I thought to myself.

"Um...anyway. Since Annie is here, I will go eat with her. Bye, Melanie," Evan said and wrapped his arms around my shoulders.

"Okay. Don't forget about the party!" Melanie said and waved goodbye.

"What was she talking about? What party?" I asked Evan as soon as Melanie left and we went to sit outside.

"She is throwing a party with some college students so she invited me. I was going to tell you about it when I got home.

"Oh really? You guys seem to be close," I said gruffly.

"Huh? We are not? She is just my lab partner," Evan said dismissively.

"Well...she is really pretty and she seems to like you a lot," I said. I felt annoyed all of a sudden.

"She does?" Evan looked at me with surprise. "And how would you know that?"

"I just...I just know. She was totally flirting with you!" I cried. "You should find a different lab partner!"

"No way, it's too late in the semester. Besides, she is a great lab partner," Evan said.

"WELL THEN! If she is so great, maybe you should ask her out," I pouted.

Evan looked at me for a moment. His lips twisted into a smirk.

"What's so funny?" I barked.

"Little hamster...are you jealous?" he grinned wider.

"Pfft...no way. What do I have to be jealous of?" I tried to dismiss his claim. Me? Jealous? Oh please.

"You are sooo jealous. I didn't know you could act like this. Hmm... bad girl," he leaned over and whispered in my ears.

"Shut up, I am not," I said lamely.

"Sure, you are not. But you should be because you are right, Melanie is totally all over me and she is hot too," Evan smirked again.

I gasped. "You think she is hot?" I squealed. The nerve of this asshole!

"Oh, yea. I mean did you see her boobs? They are huge!" he exclaimed. I am going to kill him.

"They are? I didn't notice," I said, practically burning with jealousy.

"Yes. But they don't get me hot. You are making me hot," he grabbed me by my waist then pulled me closer to him.

"What are you talking about?" I asked. His sudden touch was making me weak.

"I am saying I love it when you are jealous. It's making me want you," he said and picked me up all of a sudden.

"What? Wait! Are you crazy, we are in public!" I said frantically. How did it come to this?

"You are right. Let's go behind those trees then no one can see us," he said and proceeded to carry me there.

"That's not the point! Put me down you bully," I flailed around in his arms.

He laughed then pushed me against the tree and pressed his lips on mine. His eyes were dark and full of lust. He pushed up my skirt and pressed his hard-on against me.

"It's too late for you, no one can save you now," he growled.

I guess this is my punishment for acting jealous.
