Chapter 84: You’re Avoiding Me. Why?
Jules’ pov
"You’ve really been avoiding me, Jules."
My mouth opened and closed. I felt like a fish left out of water. Kai had an unreadable expression over his face as he stared down at me.
I puffed out a long breath and shoved my hands into my pockets as I finally responded.
"I- I’m not." I responded and he scoffed, not bothering to pretend like he believed me. He was dressed in a hoodie and as usual, the cape casted a shadow over the top of his face.
He gave me a long look, like he was trying to read me like a book.
"You don’t need to lie to me, Jules. I can tell you’re avoiding me. My question is... why?" He continued after a few seconds and I sighed while silently cursing my luck for making me run into him right now.
"I’m not avoiding you, Kai." I breathed out in response. This time, he arched a brow as he looked me up and down once again.
"Is it because of the kiss we almost shared? Is that why you’re avoiding me?" He blurted out and I choked on air.
"I’m fine." I hurriedly called out while pulling away when he attempted to pat my back and he gave me a weird, long look before retrieving his hand and shoving it into his pocket.
The almost kiss was an incident which I’ve refused to think about since the day it almost happened. Him bringing it up right now wasn’t something I saw coming. If anything, I assumed he’d also pretend that never happened,
