“I think I can pull it out of him, we know he’s going to be at the finals on our turf on Friday. No way he won't show up and show off in front of me.” I said and gave Chase a ‘I dare you to kill me’ look.
“he is not going to care as long as you’re with Chase. He won't have a reason to show off if he knows you 2 are together. No man is going to try to one up Chase’s existence in their life when he knows Chase can easily kill him on the spot. Specially on our turf.” Davon said.
“if you’re suggesting a fake public breakup I am so in!” Payton said excitedly but shut up as soon as she glanced at Chase’s terrifying deadpan.
“are you suggesting we break up publicly, so she looks available to all the men in the school playground and her ex, who is now rising to power can try and flaunt his new piece in her face and reveal information about their secret spot?” Chase said, getting angrier word by word,
“yeah” they all exclaimed
“what makes you think our very special on ground trackers cannot track his secret location.” He retaliated.
“he won’t be traced at such places, we didn’t know he had a side bitch for years while we were dating and he was getting tracked 24/7 at that time as well. He’s really good at hiding affairs.” I said and Davon and Eric nodded.
“we were personally tracking him and her for 2 years and he hid his discrepancies very methodologically.” Eric said
“and now he’s got even more resources. Plus we’re on a timer cause the quicker we get proof the quicker we can destroy him. We need this info before Scranton comes to town” Davon added.
“Killer, are you ready to see your ex bragging to you about another chick?” Chase asked,
“Let’s break for the day. But this plan is the best we have as of now. Friday is 4 days away, let’s see what we find out, if nothing then we shall continue with this high school drama plan” I replied deflecting from his question.
Everyone follows Davon to the games room leaving Chase and I alone. I walk to the idea board and stare at it while knowing Chase is analysing every movement. I don’t know what I would feel if Chase had to do what I have to do. I don’t have any feelings towards Charles but knowing he is going to say the exact same things he did while he broke up with me for my best friend. What would I feel at that point?
“We do what we have to do to save our family.” Chase said. I turned, facing him. Shocked.
“I’ll be fine.” I stated
“I know you will, I have no idea how I’ll be fine.”
“don’t overreact it’s not like I'll be making out with him, it’s just psychological. He cannot resist bragging in front of me cause he thinks he can hurt me.”
“I’ll kill him if he even tries to fuck with you or your head.” He said
“not if I beat you first.” I replied with a smile.
“that’s my killer.” He smiled back, he gave me a quick peck and we joined the others in the games room.
The next day I woke up to Chase’s video call.
“hello?’ I answered groggily
“erm. Hi!” a little boy’s voice said back
“hey Adam! How are you!” I said
“uncle C needs help.” He said and giggled
“is that so, and what help does he need exactly” I asked
“he.. erm. Can’t take care of me alone. He says I'm a bundle of hands.” He replied in a sassy tone.
“and what are you guys planning on doing.” I asked
“we’re going to make cookies and give it to everyone but I accidently spilled all the flour in the kitchen. So can you come over with a flour baggie.” He asked and gave me his best pleading face. Which was adorable.
“only for that face, I’ll be right over baby boy.” I coo-ed at him.
“I told you it would work.” He whispered to who I figured was Chase next to him.
“cut the call before you say that she can still hear you.” Chase said and his eyes widened I couldn’t help but giggle.
“oh” he said and cut the call as I shook my head and laughed.
I texted Mila to send our homework, I don’t know how after everything we discussed for the gang my brain will comprehend Mr. Burns’ English analysis on war poems. As soon as Mila sent pictures and text book pages for the test on Monday I left with my textbooks and a bag of flour.
