Chapter 92 - Breakup Over Snapchat (1/2)

”You look amazing!” Julia commented as she came down the road and towards their car.

”You look nice, as well,” Cage told her. Julia was in a red dress that left little to the imagination. He chuckled. ”That ex of yours is going to regret a lot of things tonight.”

”Thank you for your consolation. That is exactly my intention. I hope it works.” She slid into the car with his friend. ”Ah, Stephen said that there would be no mention of a relationship. You're seeing someone, I presume?” Her voice sounded sad. ”Tell me about her.”

”Julia, it's hurtful to see others happy when you are miserable. I don't want you to go through that. Let's talk about this when you feel better.” He patted her back. ”Tell me what is up with you. I am sure you are bottling a lot up.”

She sighed and leaned back into the seat. Despite her fancy appearance, there was pain in her eyes. ”I need some liquid courage to face him. He broke up with me over a Snapchat, in front of all his followers.”

”Don't cry, your makeup will be ruined,” he warned, bending forward to get some tissues for her.

”He didn't even have the decency to tell me face to face. Hell, I would even have taken it casually if he had texted. But Snapchat?” She took the napkin from his hand and dabbed at her wet eyes. ”By the way, my makeup is waterproof.” Cage chuckled.

”The fucking magazines said that I was a broken shoe and that I was fat.”

Cage struggled to show the right emotion at that time. Oh, god. ”You're not fat. But I can see that you really took the comment to heart. That dress… is not your style.”

”Thanks for helping me out. I didn't know what to do.” She sniffed.

”I'm happy to be your arm candy for the night.”

”Now, tell me about that girl.” She tried to smile. ”I actually want to know.”

”If you wish so,” he said, shrugging. ”I haven't met her yet, but her name is Katherine.”

”God, you are one of these people with online waifus.” She smiled and teased him. Cage shook his head.

”I might be a big nerd, but don't take it that far! We met in an online game.” She raised a brow. ”We just got talking and she has an amazing personality. She's funny, smart, and hot as hell...”

”Do you have pictures?” she asked curiously. He pulled out his phone and saw through the pictures with a smile on his face. ”Don't show me any nudes, just the nice ones.”

”We don't send each other nudes.” He rolled his eyes. He showed her the picture of her with the books and heard Julie whistle.

”She is smoking hot! What is the update?”

”Don't tell Stephen but I am meeting her tomorrow.” Julia startled.

”Are you sure that is safe? Where?” He didn't answer. ”God, you're smitten. You were never like this before… It's good to see you like this.”

He smiled. 'I know,' she thought. ”I've never felt this way about anyone before.”

”I'm happy for you,” she said softly. ”Okay, I need to look happy for the cameras now. I don't think I can stand seeing him.”

”Just don't punch him,” he said lightly. She scoffed. ”No, seriously, you don't need that drama in your life.”
