Chapter 84

Allie's POV

Dylan stood in front of me, barely leaving any space between us. I could feel my heart beating fast even though this was supposed to be a pretense. Rhea was dancing around in my head at the heat radiating from him.

He didn't take his eyes off me, so he didn't see the look Ryder was giving him.

“You're here early." He said, his voice barely above a whisper. And at this point, it was a good thing Kieran wasn't here…we wouldn't be here if he was though.

I cleared my throat, “I couldn't wait to see you. I miss you."

“Good thing you came, princess. I fucking missed you too." His lips grazed my skin slightly, sending shivers down my spine.

I didn't miss how Ryder's frown deepened. Dylan was purposely calling me that because I mentioned in one of our conversations that I loved it when Ryder called me that. The girls also had shocked looks on their faces but quickly covered it up.

“H-how was training?"

My hand subconsciously reached out to him, touching the cut that was slowly healing just above his brows.

"Are you okay? How does this feel?”

He shrugged, “better now that you're here. What do you say, I take a break and you check my body for other bruises?” He asked, his eyes meeting mine, he looked like he was trying to pass a message but my amazing self couldn't help getting carried away.

If it wasn't a conversation we had before now, I would believe that he had some sort of feelings for me.

“Maybe this wasn't the first time he was doing something like this." I thought.

I bit my lips, "let's do that.” I replied, and a smile spread across his face.

But before Dylan could respond, Ryder grabbed my hand, pulling me with him away from the others.

I tried to remove my hand, but his grip remained tight on them, only releasing me when we were far from the others and my back was against a wall.

“Princess, really?" He spat, his eyes shooting daggers at me but I tried not to let it affect me. I could still feel the sparks his hand on mine left even though he was no longer holding me.

"Do you have a problem with that?"

He scoffed, running a hand through his hair. "I don't have a fucking problem with it." He said, raising his voice.

A pang of disappointment hit me, but what was I expecting? That he would eagerly announce that he didn't want me with Dylan because he wasn't done with me?

“Good, because my boyfriend can choose to call me whatever he feels like." I told him, my voice rising to match his own, and he paused, his eyes widening in shock.

"You're dating him?” He yelled, "you're fucking dating him? Do you know who he is?”

"I don't care who he is, all I care about is that he cares about me. Not that it is any of your business.”

He ran his hand through his hair multiple times, pacing in front of me. “Are you doing this to get back at me?"

I shot him a glare, after managing to hide the shock that came with his statement. “Not everything is about you, Ryder. I'm dating him because I really like him…” I started and hurt flashed through his eyes.

"You don't mean that?" His voice came out low.

"The fact that I'm dating him or that I actually like him? Because I mean both of them.” I fired back. “And I'm not going to have conversations about my relationship with an outsider.”

He stood there for a few minutes, his eyes locked on mine, not saying anything. I caught sight of Dylan, his eyes trained on me. I knew he wanted me to talk to Ryder and there was nothing to worry about because Ryder wouldn't hurt me…I was assured of that.

“Goodbye, Ryder.” I murmured.

When he didn't respond, I made an attempt to move but he reached for my hand, sending shivers down my spine.
