21. burry them alive
“ well Chase. Every moment we share makes my heart race, and I can't stop thinking about you. When you speak, my mind blanks, and it takes all my strength not to leap into your arms, reminding myself that you aren’t mine yet. Your eyes pull me into a world where our lives collide, and you make me feel like a free bird soaring with endless possibilities. You're the end game to my torture. I like you Chase Dicanto from the moment I saw you through my vodka induced brain 4 months ago.”
“well I was hoping for 4 little words but-“
Before he finished his stupid statement I planted my lips on his soft ones and we stayed there for 3 seconds or an eternity, I wouldn’t know cause the minute our lips touched, it felt fireworks at a beach on a cool summer night.
“wow” we both said. once we parted. I cleared my throat.
He got up from the floor and walked to the door while I was still in my daze.
“see you on Friday for the game Valerie. Don’t forget Saturday we go on a torture date together, especially don’t forget You’re mine.”
All I could do was smile, register his words and give a thumbs up. A fucking thumbs up.
Fuck me.
“he said all this?” Payton asked while we were waiting for the boys to join us for coffee on my side of the town. We needed some girl time.
“yeah, he wants to take revenge on Natasha for like, me?” I replied
“no fuck that, he asked to get to know you more?” Payton replied while Mila sipped her coffee
“yeah, and I also in a very intense way told him I liked him back.”
Mila choked on her coffee, “you did what!” she secant
“I shipped you guys from the start, I called it.” Payton said
“well, apparently Chase called it first remember the whole, I met a girl and she’s interesting conversation.” Mila said
“wait what?” my heart was beating fast
“forget we mentioned it.” Mila said quickly
“anyway we have to come up with a Natasha plan, we gotta beat her at the least” Payton said
“of course, I also want that. We need to come up with ways to stack her.” Mila said, “literally”
“I can’t come up with anything creative after Chase’s goodbye statement.” I sighed
“I mean makes sense you mind has gone blank, he’s sucking up all the common sense from you, who says ‘don’t forget you’re mine’ so fucking cheesy.” I smiled at Payton’s wordings.
“oh god they’re gonna be so infuriating, I hate new relationships” Mila said and shoved me playfully as I scowled.
“it’s not a relationship” I clarified
“of course it is, you’re getting to know each other and for fucks sake if a guy gets even close to you he’s gonna cut them.” Payton said as a matter of fact-ly
“well, valid but like I can’t help it, he's so hot and it’s been a while since I’ve liked someone this much”
“I hate this” mila groaned, “everyone gets a crush or a boy to friendzone except me.”
“you loved the single life yesterday, what happened?” I asked
“well, Payton has a guy she friend zones, you have chase and the gang leader bonding community, and all I have is a stupid impossible crush” she signed and put her head on the table.
“that’s cause your science geek is afraid of you.” Payton told her and I peeked an interest.
“what science geek?” I asked stopping cause of the newfound information.
“oh this dude named Dylan. He’s like this smart computer genius that speaks my code. But he’s lowkey afraid of me cause he’s a shy little specimen.”
“well, actually mila if you can get over this crush of yours, I would like to introduce one of my best friends in my gang, he’s like super charming and smart and he comes up with tactics, I think you would like him. If not I give you permission to use him for sex” I gleamed and her head popped up.
“a set up?” she squeaked, “I haven’t been set up properly in a while!”
“well I can introduce you on Friday, I’ll bring them to the after game party. His name is Davon.”
“oh hot name” Payton approved.
“wait till you see him.”
“see who?” Vince’s voice said behind me
Heat beating faster. Check
Blush. Check
Breathing quickens. Check
Chase comes over to me, drapes an arm around my shoulder casually and everyone smiles in a ‘we know shit’ way towards us
Blush a deeper red. Check
“we were just talking about my friends Eric and Davon they usually tail me for safety and mila and Payton asked to be introduced.” I explained while winking at the girls.
“Payton also?” Anderson said giving a look to Vince and chase squeezed my shoulder, when I turned to him he had a questioning look on him face, I just smiled at him and nodded towards Anderson.
“yeah” Payton replied with a bitch face towards Vince.
Game on.
