tell what they were saying, but I recognized one of them; it belonged to Adrian. He was talking to someone, and judging by the high pitch of the other voice, he was talking to a girl. Suspicious, I pushed at the door and found myself in the restroom.
Adrian was leaning on the wall and his surprised gray-blue eyes flew to mine. The girl who was standing in front of him whipped her long black hair back and gave me a cold stare over her shoulder. I would recognize those green eyes anywhere.
“Amaya, what a pleasant surprise,” I said, my voice like icicles. I was thrilled to see my boyfriend’s crazy ex. She wasn’t even supposed to be anywhere near here. Last time I checked, she was shacking up with my ex, Michael.
“How did she find us?” Amaya yelled, her attention fully focused on Adrian, who kept glancing between her and me.
“What the hell is going on?” I came to stand at Adrian’s side, my arms crossed.
“You’re not part of this conversation.” Amaya waved her hand at me. “Shoo!”
My lips spread into an unpleasant smile. I totally should have brought a gun.
“Do not talk like that to my girlfriend!” The look in Adrian’s eyes turned deadly and Amaya actually took a step back. Maybe she was missing only one brain cell, not both of them.
“Then agree to come with me!” she said.
My eyebrows shot upward. “If someone doesn’t tell me right now what is going on, I swear I will kick you both.”
Adrian rolled his eyes. “She wants me to come to one of her therapy sessions.”
“My therapist says it would be good to have Adrian with me during my next session.” She turned to Adrian and pointed an accusatory finger at him. “You know you’re the cause of all my problems. I just want to forget you ever existed and move on.”
“Then why don’t you move on?” Adrian asked. “You know I never loved you. What we had wasn’t real.”
“Because I can’t forget! You ruined my life! I had to leave the University of Magic because of you!” She gritted her teeth.
“Well, I’m sorry, I’m kind of hard to forget.” Adrian flashed her a smile and I wanted to punch him. We so didn’t have time for this.
“I hate you!” Amaya started for Adrian, but I caught her arm.
“Hey! Stop it!” I squeezed her arm and she gave me a dark look. “I know what happened between my boyfriend and you wasn’t...” I didn’t know how to say it. Hell, I didn’t even know what exactly had happened between Adrian and her. I only knew he’d broken up with her and broken her heart. She’d tried to attack Adrian a couple of times, but I’d thought by now she would have found her peace. “I mean, I know you got hurt, but no one can take back time.”
She snorted and pulled her arm out of my grip. “It’s so simple for you, isn’t it? You somehow captured his heart. I wonder what’s so special about you.”
“Amaya...” Adrian said. “I’m really sorry for what happened and I wish I could change it, but I can’t. You knew very well what you were getting into when you and I got together.”
She chewed on her lip, her green eyes desperate. “You’re lying, Adrian. You did love me. I know it. And if you would just come with me for a session or two, we could talk and you’d realize...”
“Realize what? That I loved you?” Incredulity was written all over Adrian’s face. “I don’t think that it works that way. You can’t change how I feel about you unless you hire a hypnotist or someone to wipe my mind.”
Okay, this conversation was getting way too awkward for me. Either Amaya had some serious issues and thought there was something wrong with her because Adrian didn’t love her or she’d come here for something else. Before anyone could even blink, I threw myself at Amaya. Her back hit the tiled wall, her eyes wide.
“Ria! What are you doing?” I heard Adrian yell right before a wave of water hit my face, blinding me. Fighting for breath, I punched at Amaya and my fist
