She took a peek at him and explained, “I wasn’t sure what your cravings were—I didn’t want to place the wrong order because I can’t afford to waste my money.”
If it weren’t because of Skylar, Tobias would never show up at a fast-food retail chain. He asked the waiter over to take his orders because he didn’t feel like getting into the long queue.
“What brings you to me today? Do you need someone to get rid of your physiological needs again?” Since they were no longer on the campus, Skylar didn’t bother to hold back and paid no heed to her choices of words anymore.
She pretended as though she was fine, but she was on pins and needles whenever she was around him. Nevertheless, she had learned her lesson and figured a method to control her emotions.
“Isn’t it the same for you? After all, it had been quite a few days since we last met.” Tobias brought up an embarrassing topic casually and made it sound as if it was nothing worth making a fuss out of it.
Even though Skylar could barely remain calm when she heard his out blunt reply, she tried her best to suppress her emotion and asked, “Why are you here when you’re getting married tomorrow? I have sinned and violated the ten commandments over and over again. Do you want to put me on an express ride to hell? Why don’t you return to your loved ones if that’s what you’re here for?”
“Can you stop chasing me away? Are you afraid of me?” he replied indifferently because he felt slightly helpless as well.
Skylar pursed her lips because she was at a loss for better words to reply to his query—he was spot on, yet she couldn’t possibly blurt out the things she had in her mind.
She avoided his gaze and enjoyed her glass of coke that was full of ice, chomping the ice as though she had forgotten the things she told Tobias about half an hour ago.
“Who will you be going out on a date with tonight?” Tobias peered straight into her eyes as he queried. It sounded as though he was trying to interrogate her.
