Filed to story: Sinful Mates (Imogen) Book by Jessica Hall
I’m not the only one, and that realization makes my blood run cold. I’m not na?ve, I know they probably have been with other women before me. But why so defensive over this woman? I feel tears build up and I have to swallow down the lump that forms in my throat.
I turn around, suddenly wanting to get away from him. I know without a doubt this woman means something, and more than he is willing to tell me. I walk down the stairs while I have a million questions running through my head. If I don’t find out who she is, I know it will eat away at me.
Opening the front door, I walk out toward the garden. There’s no point in leaving, they will track me down. Sitting next to my mother’s plant, I cry, I can’t hold it in any longer. Everything is moving too fast, my life moves out of my control and now they are keeping secrets from me. I don’t know how long I’m out there for, when suddenly, Theo sits beside me. I wipe my eyes, embarrassed to be seen crying. He places his hand on my shoulder before pulling me to him and wrapping his arm around my shoulders. I feel him kiss my head.
“Why are you here?” I ask.
“Tobias.” He simply states.
I shake my head and stand up. “I want to go back to the apartment; I won’t put up with you keeping secrets.”
“Secrets?” He asks, his eyes brows furrowing like he doesn’t understand. “Who’s keeping secrets?”
“You and Tobias.” Theo looks up toward the top floor of the house. Standing at the window is Tobias, watching us and listening in.
I roll my eyes; he hasn’t got the balls to tell me so instead sends for Theo, the damn coward.
“Take me back to the city,” I say sternly.
“Imogen, you know we can’t do that.” I shove past him, walking back towards the house, deciding to head to the shed I detoured the house. I can feel him following me, but I can also feel his confusion. Well, I’m not explaining shit he can speak to his other mate. I open the garage door, only to find both cars not here. I slam the roller door down. How am I going to leave with no car?
“I want to leave, let me leave.”
“Imogen you’re being unreasonable, what happened?”
“I was talking to Tobias and he got angry because I mentioned her name. That’s it, now if he won’t tell me who she is I want to leave.”
“Mentioned who’s name?”
“Bianca.” I watch his reaction.
Theo takes a step back, so he knows who I’m talking about as well. “Where did you hear that name, Imogen?”
“I thought Tobias said it, but he thinks he only thought it, which makes no sense because I can’t read people’s minds like you can.”
While we are arguing I hear a car pull up, I walk to the front of the house, praying for it to be anyone but their parents, someone who could give me a lift in town.
I feel Theo grab my arm, stopping me, pulling me back. “No, you’re not leaving,”
“Get your fucking hands off me, Theo, I’m leaving unless I get fucking answers.”
I see Merida walk around the corner, she must have heard us yelling. She stops, looking unsure for a second. I wave to her. I completely forgot she was coming over today, I honestly didn’t think she would show, but man am I happy to see her.
“Hey Imogen, what’s going on?” She asks, nervously.
I can tell she is wary of Theo, keeping a good distance away from him and not really approaching us, so I turn and walked toward her.
“Stay out of it, Merida.” Theo spits.
Merida puts her hands up and goes to leave. “Don’t talk to her like that! Wait up, Merida!” I call out to her before jogging after her.
Suddenly, Theo is in front of me, his easy-going attitude completely gone, in its place the version of him that scares me. I stop dead in my tracks. I cross my arms across my chest, refusing to be intimidated by him. Merida stops and watches; I can tell she looks panicked. Like she thinks he’s going to harm me. I stand my ground, refusing to back down.
