Sinnful Temptations??

Lilah's POV.

I open up the Uber app and it crashes. I close it down and open it again; it crashes. Cursing, I restart my phone.

I tuck into the side of the street and rest my weight against a wall.

Stupid tears prick my eyes, damn period hormones. I start my period tomorrow and I'm always emotional near my period.

I know it's silly to feel hurt, we weren't official, and I don't even have feelings for him, but it's hard not to feel rejected. I'm only human.

And now, I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere, with a phone that's messing up.

I try to open the Uber app and it finally loads. I put in my address, and it looks for available drivers, I curse again as it takes ages to find any.

There's none.

The next available one will be another 40 minutes.

Damn.

I decide to see if Micah is available, I call him, but it goes to voicemail. I dial our house landline instead. My breath catches in my throat as Sinn picks up.

"Hey, it's me, Lilah. Is Micah home?"

"No, he's at Courtney's, everything alright?" He asks.

His voice sounds so concerned that it makes tears form in my eyes.

"Yeah, it's fine, no worries," I reply, but even I can hear how thick with emotion my voice is.

"What's wrong, Lils?" He asks and a traitorous tear rolls down my cheek. I swipe it away angrily.

"I um, something came up and Freddy had to go so I'm stuck here and there's no Ubers, but it's okay. I'll wait till there's one available," I tell him.

"I'll come and get you, where are you?"

"No Sinn, I don't want to make you do that, it's fine I'll-"

"I'm coming, where are you?" He cuts me off and I hear the jingle of his car keys.

I tell him the restaurant's address and thank him repeatedly.

Fifteen minutes later, he pulls up on the street in his BMW. I know he must have raced because it took Kira nearly thirty minutes to get us here. He gets out of the car and drapes his warm coat over my shoulders.

We get into the car, and I sink into the heated seat.

"Thank you so much," I mumble as he pulls off.

"Not a problem. Are you okay?" He asks tentatively, I can hear the curiosity in his voice.

I sigh heavily and tell him my story.

Who Freddy is to me, how we've been seeing each other, no strings blah blah blah. How he's found someone else and I'm okay with it, I just wish he hadn't dragged me out to the outskirts of the city, just to break things off.

"I don't know why I'm even hurt; we haven't talked in nearly two weeks and it's not like we ever had feelings for each other. It's just weird that he slept with me whilst pursuing her, he should have told me sooner." I force a laugh and he smiles at me.

"It's normal to feel hurt, don't worry." He reaches over and squeezes my leg. "He's an idiot, anyway, letting a catch like you go."

My heart flutters at his words. My hand, I'm maintaining of its own volition, reaches for his hand on my leg and I lace my fingers through his.
