Chapter 126: A Completely Absurd Theory
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘❦✾❦∘∙⊱⋅•-
"We didn’t do anything," I said quickly, my cheeks growing hot. "It was just... a moment. Then Adrien totally messed it up."
"Exactly!" Gigi exclaimed, pointing at me as if she’d uncovered a huge secret. "Why on earth was he so mad? And don’t pull the protective card. That dude stopped you from losing your virginity before college to the most perfect guy in the planet, he should be executed!"
I let out a weak laugh and rubbed my forehead. "I honestly don’t know why he was mad, Gigi. I asked him, but he just wouldn’t give me a straight answer. He yelled at Ethan, then at me, and then just glared at me. It was a total mess."
"Yeah," she said softly, studying my expression. "You do seem... shaken."
"I am."
The truth slipped out before I could hold it back. "It was like he wasn’t even Adrien for a second. Like he turned into someone else, like some possessive...guy."
Gigi paused, her eyes scanning me with the same seriousness she usually reserved for tarot reads and emotional breakdowns.
"Noah..." she said slowly, almost cautiously. "You can call me crazy. You can say I’m delusional. You can even call me a lesbian clairvoyant who talks too much for her own good." She nibbled on her cookie, still watching me with that strange intensity. "But doesn’t it seem like... Adrien is jealous?"
I froze.
Gigi didn’t blink at me, it seemed like she was dead serious.
For the next few seconds, we sat there staring at the other.
