''Mina!'' I called after her, but there was no reply.
Why did I do that? How could I push her like that? She wasn't ready.
I stood there staring at the place she'd vanished, my whole body was numb, I didn't know what to do, should I go after her, should I call her?
I wandered back around the house and headed up the back stairs to my old room. I didn't want to see anyone else, especially Amber, who I'd known would be waiting for me.
I used to think it was a great thing having girls throw themselves at you, but now I just thought it was annoying, and I was a little ashamed of the way I used to be around women. Mina had changed everything. I wasn't the same man I used to be, not since she'd entered my life.
I swung open the door and stripped off my shirt, making a beeline for the shower.
