Maybe just a few more minutes...

I decided to see how far this would go. I wasn't sure if I could trust Lily before and it seemed like I would get my answer right here.

I moved behind the pillar, observing the interaction closely, and discretely. Jake continued to tease Lily, sneakily tracing her leg surrounded by patrons. The way she responded, blushing and giggling nervously, only fuelled his eagerness.

I watched helplessly as they shared this intimate moment together. My heart raced as my anger grew, it felt like the walls were closing in on me. How could she behave like this in public?

I noticed that I'd started to get hard watching them. Something about the jealousy and anger. It felt like a rush. I watched Jake's hand closely as he ran it up and down her leg, his fingers lingering on her skin. His thumb brushed lightly against her inner thigh, and I saw her tremble slightly in response. This infuriated me even more. Why was she allowing herself to be touched like this, when we were supposed to be together?

I clenched my fists tightly, trying to fight the urge to storm over there and drag her away. But I knew that would only make things worse – she would just accuse me of being controlling and possessive.

And besides, how could I possibly stop her from talking to whomever she wanted? It was futile trying to hold onto her when she clearly had her own ideas about what she wanted out of life.

As I stood there, watching them, I felt tears prick at the corners of my eyes. There was a sense of finality to this whole thing – like everything was slipping away from me, despite my best efforts to hold onto it. Lily was slipping through my fingers, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.

Lily reached her own hand out and placed it on top of Jakes', gently guiding his hand higher up her leg. I couldn't believe what I was seeing – did she really want this man to touch her like this? And why didn't she want the same from me?

Another wave of anger and resentment washed over me. I was losing her to a stranger, and there was nothing I could do to prevent it.

Finally, Jake leaned in closer and whispered something in her ear. Lily giggled softly in response, turning her body towards him completely. I could hear their hushed voices, but couldn't make out what they were saying. All I knew was that they were sharing something that I wasn't privy to.

My stomach churned as I watched them. Even though I told myself time and time again that I shouldn't care, it was impossible not to feel a twinge of pain every time they touched each other. How could she be so cavalier about it all?

I watched as they stood up, Jake took her by the hand and led her towards the bathrooms. I began to follow them but lost sight for a moment. They disappeared into the men's bathroom, my mind began racing. What were they doing in there? Should I stop them?
