Chapter 235: Dresses, drama, and tears (5)

"Annalise."

Annalise ignored Rafael calling out to her to make her stop to listen to whatever he wanted to say. There was nothing she wanted to hear from him right now and she wished he would take a hint to leave her alone. 

He was to be accompanying Siena tonight so why was he bothering her? 

Annalise walked faster, off into the garden to hopefully lose him once she entered the tall bushes. Why did he continue to play with her? This was not fun. One minute he liked her and then another he was dancing with another woman, getting a kiss before everyone. What ever happened to Rafael who liked to avoid women?

"Annalise."

This time, Annalise stopped and turned around to face Rafael. She felt something moving down her cheek, but she refused to believe it was a tear. She would not cry over Rafael because he was here with another woman. She did not like him. She could not.

"Annalise, you shouldn't walk off alone," Rafael said as he neared her.
