giggling and batting her eyes at Cade while
pressing her body against his. It was obvious she knew what a great
catch Cade was and was very proud of herself for landing
him.
     
    Cade kept staring at Kevin
as if he wanted to bite his head off. The two men shook hands first
and then Cade extended his hand to me. We both pretended we were
meeting for the first time and exchanged insincere “Nice to meet
you’s.” He and I just stood there, staring into each other's eyes
in silence, while Valerie and Kevin chatted about the movie she and
Cade were going to see. The weight of Cade's gaze boring into me
from under his mile-long eyelashes was making it difficult for me
to breathe. There was so much resentment and hurt behind those
pretty blue eyes ; I felt bad for him. But
then I glanced over at Valerie in her leggings and barely-there
crop top and realized Cade couldn't possibly be too heartbroken
about me.
    “ That one sounds fun. What
do you think, Sidney?”
    “ What?” I replied, snapping
out of my Cade-induced trance.
    “ Do you want to see World
War Z? It’s an apocalyptic movie that’s supposed to be really good
according to Valerie here.”
    “ I already saw it
but I, like, want to see it again,"
Valerie babbled, wide-eyed, her voice growing more and more grating
with every word she uttered. "Cade hasn’t seen it yet so, like,
that’s what we’re watching tonight. It’s like really good.” While
she spoke, I wondered how Cade could listen to that voice and not
want to rip his ears off. Then I caught Kevin sneaking a peek at
the fake Double-D’s threatening to pop out of Valerie’s top and got
my answer. Men didn’t care what Valerie sounded like as long as
they got to stare at and play with her fun bags.
    "So, Sidney. Do you want to stay and see
that one?" Kevin asked again.
    I started to stammer while thinking of an
excuse to bail. The thought of having to endure two hours of a
crappy movie with Cade and his date in the same room turned my
stomach. I needed to get away from them as soon as possible. I
didn’t know how much longer I could keep my irrational jealousy in
check.
    “ If you don’t want to watch
that it’s fine. We can go to another theater. Whatever you want,”
Kevin said after seeing how hesitant I was about seeing the movie
Valerie suggested. I was about to ask Kevin to take me someplace
else when Cade cradled Valerie’s face and slid his tongue inside
the airhead’s mouth. The obscene kiss went on for a while.
Afterward, they giggled against each other’s lips, not giving a
crap about the fact that they were putting on a show. I felt as if
my body was going to combust from the rage rippling through me. The
feeling intensified when Cade turned his head and I saw a smug,
vengeful look in his eyes.
    It was war from that point on. Since he was
trying to make me jealous as payback for dumping him, I decided to
give him a taste of his own medicine. I should've taken the high
road and not stoop to his level, but I was too angry to think
rationally. I wrapped my arms around Kevin's neck and mimicked
Valerie’s gestures and expressions. “You know what Kevin? I think
we should stay and watch the movie Valerie suggested. I mean, if
she likes it, it must be like a really, really smart movie with
like a really good plot and like interesting characters.”
    “ Okay, then. World War Z it
is,” Kevin beamed, looking a little confused because I was acting
all affectionate towards him all of a sudden. Kevin left the group
and went to the box office to purchase our tickets and some snacks.
I was certain I was going to hate every second of that movie, but I
didn’t care. I was determined to show Cade I didn’t give a rat's
ass that he was with Valerie. While Kevin was away, I was treated
to another shameless tongue wrestling match courtesy of Cade and
his dumber-than-a-bag-of-hammers date. My blood was boiling but I
didn’t let their disgusting PDA rattle me. With a fake smile spread
across my
