I let out a shuddering breath as I dragged my eyes up, meeting Caspian’s intense gaze as my stomach twisted. Just one look from him and I swear my body began to respond..my chest rising and falling deeply as I bit my lip seductively..I felt so much tension that I almost couldn’t breathe.
“Cas!” A female voice called out, breaking me out of my trance as my stomach dropped..Heaven Winfield..I knew that voice from anywhere.
“I thought I would see you all here.” She said with a huge smile on her face.
Heaven had blonde hair..of course..what was it with Caspian and blondes? I swear he dated better-looking blondes just to make me feel bad.
Her green eyes sparkled in the sun and her tan skin was practically glowing..I hate her.
I just can’t stand her at all! You know sometimes when you hear someone’s name or see them coming towards you and a groan escapes you unknowingly..yeah..that is Heaven for me. I just can’t stand being in the same vicinity as her..but I’m sure the feeling was mutual.
I looked away from Caspian, glancing down at my drink as I saw Heaven rush to his side before hugging his damn face in her tits. He just sat there awkwardly, not pushing her away or anything..yeah so much for what he said in the text.
“Why didn’t you answer my calls?” She suddenly asked as another person approached the table.
That’s when I saw it was her twin brother Freddy.
“Hey Freddy, how’s it going man?” My brother perked up before standing and giving Freddy a one-armed hug.
“I didn’t answer your calls because I didn’t want to see you.” Suddenly Caspian said coldly, making everyone at the table freeze.
“Caspian, don’t be rude.” Dave stated loudly, making Caspian clench his jaw before staring his dad down.
Heaven laughed awkwardly, her eyes darting to me quickly before doing a double take as I watched her face morph into one of pure horror.
“Wow, Jo..is that you?” Freddy suddenly butt in before coming around the table.
“You look great, give me a hug.” He said excitedly, making me stand awkwardly before hugging him.
I mean..yeah I spoke with Freddy a few times and he was actually nicer to me than Caspian was..but I don’t think he has ever been this friendly.
Suddenly Caspian slammed his hand down on the table, causing it to shake as everyone turned their heads towards him.
“Johnnie, can I speak with you in private for a moment?” He snapped firmly and that’s when Ben stood.
“What could you have to say in private that you can’t say in front of all of us?” He suddenly blurted, making my mouth drop open.
“Yeah, little brother? What’s the big secret?” Alder suddenly spoke up..his words were cocky and almost said in a teasing manner.
What the hell is going on right now?
“You, stay out of it.” Caspian hissed while pointing to Alder.
“Enough! I don’t know what the hell is going on right now, but I didn’t raise you two to behave like this in public.” Dave hissed, causing Caspian to turn his fiery attention towards his dad now.
“You didn’t raise us to behave like this? If I followed by your lead Dad, I’m sure people would be even more shocked..would you like me to show everyone what you taught me?” Caspian began, making Dave stand and knock over his drink, anger, and shock flashing across his face as the whole place went quiet.
“That’s enough out of you. You have been nothing but an asshole this whole damn trip and it stops now. Go back to the house, you aren’t welcome at this lunch any longer. Maybe you shouldn’t have come on this trip to begin with.” Dave snapped, making my eyes widen by how cruel he was being to his own son.
“Dad..” Alder began, making Caspian interrupt him.
“No, it’s about time Dad showed his true colors. We all know he has hidden them long enough.” And with that, Caspian kicked his chair back angrily, causing the onlookers to gasp as he stormed back into the restaurant.
I went to stand, my first instinct was to follow after him as Ben reached for my hand to stop me.
“Johnnie..just let him cool off.” He said, making me bite my lip nervously as I shook my head no. I needed to be there for him..to show him I cared.
I pulled my hand from Ben and glanced towards my mom and Dave.
“If you will excuse me, I would like to head back early too.” I stated and turned to chase after Caspian.
I ran into the restaurant, my feet going as fast as they could as I knew one of his steps was like three of mine.
Then I saw his broad back stomping out the front, I was about to call out for him..but the moment I did, that’s when Heaven pulled up in her BMW.
How she got out there so fast..I have no clue..but I watched Capsian step towards her..my heart clenched in my chest as I internally begged him not to go with her.
“Caspian!” I called out, making her glance back at me briefly before clenching his fist.
A deep part of me pleaded that he would choose me…that he really meant everything he said.
Then my heart shattered into a million pieces as he got into the car and disappeared right before my eyes..leaving me standing there like an idiot who actually believed for a moment that he really had changed.
He would always choose someone else over me..why would I think anything different.
(Johnnie)
After Capsian left, I waited outside, too embarrassed to go back in as I looked down at my phone sadly.
I guess I should call an Uber or something..
I was about to open the app when someone stepped in front of me.
“Hey, you aren’t going back inside?” Freddy asked, his green eyes searching mine as I tried to hide the tears that threatened to fall any moment.
“Oh, umm..I was just going to head back early. I’m not feeling really well.” I lied..well kind of..I do feel sick now.
Freddy glanced back towards the restaurant before slipping his hands into his pockets. He wore a grey polo shirt and dark blue shorts..I can honestly say every guy here had some type of polo shirt on.
Freddy had light blonde hair, his eyes were the same green as his sisters, and his nose was slightly crooked. I think he might’ve broken it at some point.
He had a sharp jawline but he looked pretty..if that made sense..he reminded me of a young Leonardo DiCaprio…so you can see why he was popular with the girls around here.
