Rift in the perfect picture

Pete stood up straight and looked down on me. With a forced mile, he said, “You’re the crazy one. You slept like a dead pig. I called you so many times to wake up and have breakfast, but you didn’t even wake up once!”

Why did he have to hurt my pride?

“I don’t want to eat. I’m not hungry!”

I lifted the covers and was about to get out of bed when I realized I was no longer wearing my purple dress. Instead, I was wearing at white colored buttoned up- I immediately froze. I wasn’t even wearing anything inside.

With a cry of shock, I quickly covered myself with the blanket and. glared at Pete as I pointed at him accusingly.

“Where are my clothes?”

Pete chuckled before placing his hands on his waist. “Did you really think I would let you get on my bed when your clothes were that dirty? I felt disgusted just carrying you!”

He looked as if he was just talking about the weather when he said. those words, and I couldn’t even see a hint of guilt in his eyes.

My hands trembled as I gripped the blanket tightly. My tone was filled with disbelief as I said, “Don’t you know there’s a clear difference between a man and a woman?”

Pete froze before saying, “What’s the issue here? When we were kids, we had even-

I interrupted him coldly, “But we’re not kids anymore!”

I knew there would be a day when Pete and I would argue over. something, but I never thought we would argue over something like.

this.

I wasn’t a particularly conservative woman, but I wasn’t that liberal. either! Did Pete really not understand the issue at hand?

Glaring at him, I watched as he pursed his lips tightly, while hist complexion paled. He half–knelt on the bed and grabbed my finger that had been pointing at him. Then, he pulled my hand until my finger was touching his heart.

“Turns out, you do understand that we’re no longer kids. So why can’t you see that I’ve also grown into a man? You keep treating me like a child, so what’s wrong with me treating you like one too?”

There was a hint of vulnerability on his usually arrogant face, making. him look particularly pitiful. Seeing Pete in such a state, most of my anger had also vanished..

After all, I would have probably knocked my head on the road and gotten a head injury if it weren’t for Pete.

I pulled my hand out and said with constraint, “Forget it. Just get out, and keep it to yourself! Don’t tell anyone about what you did!”

Pete closed his eyes, but when he opened his eyes again, they were. filled with a hint of cruelty. “What if I insist on telling Nicholas about

it?”

“Don’t you dare do such a thing!” I gritted out.

“Do you think I wouldn’t dare? There’s nothing I wouldn’t dare to do in this life! So what if I take his woman? Do you think Nicholas would fight me over it?
