Arya’s POV
A crowd was beginning to form and Anastasia became embarrassed. I dared her to do any stupid thing.
“You have won this round. I will get you” she said with gritted teeth and marched out of the place. Kelsi raised her hand and I gave her a high five and we giggled like 16-year-olds.
“Girl! I didn’t know you had it in you” I laughed.
“Me too,” I said. “I guess that’s what anger does to you” We walked away from that section with some people raising their champagne to us. I felt proud. Happy even. Like I had won some lottery. Unknown to me, I had won the war but lost the battle.
“Kelsi I -“I began when I felt some liquid spell on my dress.
“What?” Kelsi yelled.
“Oh, I’m so sorry Your Highness” The server got on her knees and began to beg.
“No, no stand” I tried to help her stand but she was adamant about staying on the floor. People were staring at au and I felt uncomfortable.
“Come on stand” I and Kelsi helped her to her feet. She already had tears in her eyes.
“Come on you don’t have to cry, it’s just a dress,” I said.
“I’m so sorry ma’am,” she said.
Kelsi did a double take. “Wait a minute… I know you” The girl’s eyes flew up. I could see fear in her eyes.
“Aren’t you Nia? The one the Alpha saved” Kelsi asked. The girl slowly nodded.
I turned to Kelsi. “She’s the one that had her pack attacked and she lives alone,” she said. Then I recalled the conversation I had with her while we were coming back from the mall. I turned to the girl. She was the one people in the pack, said was the new Luna after Chase didn’t come back to the pack, for some days.
I smiled at her and she returned my smile. “Your Highness, please let me take you to the bathroom”
She beckoned on us to follow her. I made a mental note to tell her later, not to address me as your highness. I want Chase’s yet.
When we got into the bathroom, she asked that Kelsi follow as she had some cleaning soap to bring.
Kelsi raised an eyebrow. “Come on follow her and get it, I need to clean this up,” I said. Kelsi shrugged and she left the bathroom with Nia. And so I began to clean but it just wouldn’t come off. I waited for them but there were yet to be out. I was worried. I stared at my dress. I couldn’t come out looking like that. So I began to fix my hair. Then I noticed my bra strap had gotten loose.
Then I began to unzip my dress when I felt a sudden urge to turn. The moment I did, my heart almost jumped out of my chest.

“Hi Arya” came that raspy voice I had grown to love. Jake was leaning on the wall of a stall. I couldn’t believe it. It. I glared at him. My chest rose and fell in quick succession.
“Did I scare you?” he asked.
“No, you didn’t” I rolled my eyes, facing my dress. “I am very pleased seeing my ex who slept with my sister in the bathroom, watching me like a creep,” I said.
“You’ve gotten feisty,” he said smugly.
“What do you care?” I snapped at her.
Jake moved closer to me and I moved back. “I care about you. I miss you. ”
I sighed. “That’s in the past now. ”
Jake shook my head. “No,” he said. “You and I can never be in the past. We have history. Lots of them.” he paused and smiled at him. “Do you remember, the first time we met?”
“No!” I retorted. What was Jake trying to do?
“I know you do” he smiled. Jake stared me right in the eye and I was immediately catapulted to a moment I thought I had successfully forgotten. This moment felt like Deja vu.

“Aargh!!!!” my bag fell to the floor.
There was a freaking guy in the bathroom.
“What are you doing here?” I glared at him picking my bag. “Are you a pervert? Do you do this for fun? Sneak into female bathrooms to watch them! Get out now or I’ll call the police!” my teeth were clenched as I began rummaging through my bag to find my pepper spray. My heart raced like a horse.
“Are you done?” the deep cool voice made me look up. He had shot me this cold look. It was then that I took full view of him. He was shirtless and looked like someone who worked out often. Boy, he was good-looking. He had very black hair and plump lips. The kind that begged to be kissed. There was something about his eyes. He had the most piercing ones I have ever seen. They were so black and quite intimidating.
He had leaned unto the walls of the bathroom while going through his phone as if he were in the comfort of his home. His eyes roamed around my body and I clutched my bag and shirt tighter to my chest. My cheeks flamed. I was in my Bra in front of a boy. It reminded me of all my body insecurities.
He chuckled. Hmm, he wasn’t sorry for being here. This would be hard to deal with.
“Excuse me, are you hard of hearing I said get out!” my voice shook.
He rolled his eyes. “Calm down fireball, I will leave,” he said so calmly while scrolling through his phone.
“And why haven’t you” my voice came out harsh. Angry even. He looked up at me and frowned.
“I am not here to watch you-he stared at my naked arms-I just can’t leave now” he went back to his phone. I didn’t know what to do next when he began to speak.
“You don’t have anything I haven’t seen… I mean I have seen better and probably the best” he chuckled. I gasped. And that was it. It was enough that I was getting body shamed today but this one I wasn’t going to let it slide. I didn’t want to care that he was handsome.
“Oh, who knows, maybe the size of your junk could be that of my pinkie” I flashed him my last finger and stared at his dick or where it should be hiding. I didn’t miss the look of shock on his face.
“What?” he narrowed his eyes at me and I almost took a step back. He bounced off the wall and I gulped. Just then his phone buzzed and he stared at it.
It was like I was saved by that message. Immediately he walked out of the bathroom and I muttered asshole. I knew he heard that.
