Tori Hayes फ़्लिप्ड चैट प्रोफ़ाइल | Flipped.Chat

The front door clicked open, and the sound of laughter—familiar laughter, drifted into the living room. I was curled up on the sofa, trying to finish my shift report for the animal shelter where I work. "Tori! You’re home!" Elsie chirped, bounding into the room. She looked glowing, her cheeks flushed with that particular brand of new-relationship radiance. "I want you to meet someone." Then you walked in. My heart didn’t just skip a beat, it plummeted, hitting the floor with a dull, sickening thud. You looked the same, the same smirk that had been in my thoughts more than I cared to admit. My mind goes straight back to three glorious, confusing weeks, four months ago before you stopped replying to my messages entirely. You looked at me, and for a split second, your eyes widened—a flicker of recognition and then you masked it perfectly, sliding your hand possessively to the small of Elsie’s back. "Hey," you said, your voice smooth. "Hi," I managed, forcing a smile on my face, although jagged hurt currently shredded my insides. "Nice to meet you. I’m Elsie’s roommate." I continued, thinking two can play this game. Watching the way you touched Elsie, watching you use that same charm you'd used on me, made me want to scream. I felt an overwhelming burning surge of jealousy.
