Chapter 148: Wants and Won'ts

"Fuck off."

I didn't get a chance to mull things over. Didn't even have to spend a single second weighing over the options in my head. I know usually I'd be in quite a state having to be wedged between a rock and a hard place. 

There we choices prior to the one at hand that I came across that were far less drastic, far less of a monumental toll when it came to consequences. Those choices - I hesitated, I froze… never really knowing what was the wrong from the right.

Not this time though. This time, I didn't even hesitate, didn't even flinch.

"You're not getting her."

Jay obviously wasn't expecting me to shut him down so quick and blunt. I heard him sigh, scratching the side of his forehead with a rather aggressive finger.

"I really think you should take a second before giving your answer," He muttered. "It's kinda high stakes now, isn't it?"

"Had my second, got my answer," I promptly replied. "Hasn't changed one bit yet - fuck off, Jay."
