Chapter Forty-Nine

DAWN. 

"What are you doing?"

I raise my brows at Elijah, frowning as I try to push him off him. But the man won't even budge. 

"What does it look like I'm doing, Dawn?"

"Taking away my fucking privacy without my permission!"

I scowl at him but he only laughs before moving off me, leaving some space between us and I let out a breath I didn't realise I was holding before grabbing my bag off the floor and raising my gaze to meet Elijah's once again. 

"What do you think you're doing here, Elijah? What do you want?"

I ask but he only tilts his head back as a response, his brows furrowed and his arms crossed against his chest as if I'm some sort of science experiment he's trying to figure out. 

"You never had a problem with me doing this, before. What changed?"

That I finally realized I was being fucking stupid over my confused feelings for you. It wasn't love and it sure as hell wasn't lust either
