Chapter 2The Gamer's Trap

On the ride back, I was squeezed in the backseat between two men.

Looking left and right, they were dressed almost identically.

I pinched my brother's arm hard. "I thought you hated matching outfits with people?"

"Sis, you don't get it. Matching with Captain Carter? That's a blessing from the Esports gods."

I rolled my eyes.

Noah looked back and forth between us, his eyes wide with gossip.

"Sis, do you and Captain Carter know each other?"

Instantly, we both spoke at the same time:

"Ex-boyfriend."

"She's my girlfriend."

Me: "?"

Noah's face: [Holy sht! The tea is hot!]*

Suddenly, a hand landed on my waist, rubbing gently.

"We didn't break up. I've just been busy lately, haven't had time for her, so she's throwing a tantrum."

Tantrum? What tantrum?

When his wandering hand started making me weak, I grabbed it and threw it aside.

"Jax Carter, we broke up a month ago."

Jax actually laughed.

He pulled me onto his lap, burying his face in my neck, his voice terrifyingly gentle.

"Baby, if we broke up... can I chase you again?"

I was furious. I told the driver to pull over and scrambled off him.

"Break up means break up! Do you not understand English?"
