       Chapter nineteen

    Jess had just finished paying the check and was walking to the exit, but of course he was reading the receipt on his way out. It’s just something he does out of habit.

Jess was halfway to the exit when he looked and saw Sam and Chris leaning against his car and talking. I don’t know how long they were talking, guess no more than 5 minutes since it didn’t take him so long to pay the bill. But part of him couldn’t help but be a little jealous. After all Chris is her EX boyfriend.

      Jess saw Chris glance at him from the corner of his eye; he said one last thing to Sam, and then walked back inside the café. HE strode right up to Jess. For a moment Jess didn’t know if he was going to hit him or what. Jess couldn’t read his expression. He hadn’t wasn’t even aware that he was holding his breath

   Chris lifted his head a bit, took a deep breath and smiled at Jess.

“She’s not yours for long…” He said to me. So confident.

 “Excuse me?” Jess said, almost a whisper. It came out kinda hoarse

 “I’m backing off for now. But I know how to play the game, and sooner or later. And I mean sooner. Real soon, she does gonna be mine again. I won’t settle for her belonging to anyone else but me. So enjoy her while the time lasts.”

     “She’s not an object to be owned. You can’t just take her away, or buy her. She makes her own choice. And she chose me.”

  “She chose you because she’s never known anything other than this life. But the excitement is dying out. You’re useless to her now. What can you possibly offer her? You have nothing. You ARE nothing. And that’s what you will always be. What is the point of you even living.”

Chris said venom in his voice.

   Jess was too stunned to silence.

 “Trust me Jess; I always get what I want. And I want her. Even if I have to take her. Because I can’t stand seeing her with someone else other than me.” Chris stated.

  “Get used to it Chris! Cause she’s with me!” Jess said back.

 “Hehehe…that attitude is gonna get someone hurt. But just know…I take what’s mine.”

    And with that, Chris walked to the table where Sara was sitting, grabbed her arm and left the café. Leaving Jess standing there, thinking over Chris’ words.

 ‘Take what’s mine?” did that mean he was going to kidnap Sam or something?

      Jess was pretty sure Chris wasn’t that dumb. Right?
