ISABELLE CAMPBELL
We never expect certain decisions to play out differently right before our eyes—but this one slipped completely out of my control.
Getting caught up with Colin again wasn’t something I wanted… but God, it felt good. I had no doubt about that.
I honestly thought we’d pick up where we left off at my front door, but this time it was Colin who pulled away, turning his back to me.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
He didn’t say a word. For at least twenty seconds—seriously—nothing. Time stretched, and he just stood there, motionless, still facing away from me. I didn’t understand what was going on, but before I could say anything, he spun around abruptly, eyes blazing with anger, staring straight at me.
“If that shit happens again, you’re out. Got it?” he said slowly, every word dripping with arrogance.
“Excuse me?!”
I had to be hearing this wrong. The jerk kisses me twice and then says that out of nowhere?!
“That’s exactly what you heard. Was I clear, or should I write it down for you to understand?” His face was still hard with fury, and it hit me right then—Colin Adams was insane. Completely. Certifiably. Out of his mind.
“I get kissed, and now I’m fired if it happens again? What the hell is wrong with you?”
“You’re what’s wrong with me! I should’ve never let myself kiss you!”
It’s official. The man isn’t just an ogre—he’s absolutely deranged.
“I can’t believe what I’m hearing.”
“Believe it!” he shouted before storming off.
I will never understand men—especially the arrogant ones with a God complex.
