My tik toker (Jordan Powell)

Chapter 7

"What're you saying? He's in love with me or something?"

"That's precisely what I'm saying."

Thomas' words have been repeating since this morning. Chase couldn't be in love with me...No there's no way.

I told him from the get go. No feelings. If we starting fooling around, no feelings. I'm not mentally prepared for something like that. Not again. I just can't go through it. Especially if it has anything to do with Hudson. He's one of my best friends and that's all I see him as.

Someone I can turn to whenever I need to talk knowing that he knows he can talk to me as well. Someone who's there for me no matter what. I don't wanna ruin that.

"Star girl?" I hear from beside me. I ignore the sound of his voice and continue playing with my food.

Why would he like me? I mean he obviously likes me because we've fucked on multiple occasions but love? It's almost impossible.

'The impossible is possible.' The voice in my mind tells me. Stupid conscience...

"Nevaeh."

"What?" I blink in confusion and look beside me. Chase furrows his eyebrows in worry and I frown.

"What's going on with you today? Yesterday you were all happy but now you can barely say good morning." He crosses his arms and leans back in the brown wooden chair. "And you haven't said anything remotely sexual. So what's wrong? Was it me or one of the others? Can I fix it?"

"Cole just because I don't make a sexual comment doesn't mean anything's wrong." I say. His mouth parts when I say his name and he tilts his head to the side.

"What did I do wrong H?" He whispers. I open my mouth to object but he cuts me off. "You never call me Cole. Not unless you're mad at me. And yes not making a sexual comment does mean there's something wrong because you make one every single day. For as long as I've known you and that dirty little mind of yours, you never miss the chance at making one. So I'm going to ask again... What did I do?"

"Nothing baby I'm just...Tired. And horny." I lie.

"That's another lie." His eyes scan my face and I gulp. "Why are you lying? If you were horny you would be sucking me off right now to get me into the mood. If you were tired you would be laying on my shoulder or my lap...Not pushing your uneaten food around. You eat 24/7 but you're not right now and I know for a fact that you haven't eaten breakfast so you must be starving."

"No chase it's- Wait what?" I turn my body towards him completely and he smiles.

"What?"

"Did you just call me fat?" I ask. He purses his lips to hide his smirk and failing completely.

"No."

"Yes you did...Just now you said I eat 24/7. You just called me fat." I snort, leaning back in my chair with an amused expression. "I am not fat."

"Hey you said it not me." He smiles fully at my sharp glare and stands up, grabbing my hand to pull me up. "Come on princess we've got places to be."

"Do we?" I ask. He nods and wraps and arm around my shoulder, intertwining our fingers. "Have you been watching Sherlock? Or criminal minds?"

He smugly smiles before kissing my hand. We already paid for our food so we just throw our trash away and walk out. As soon as we walk out fletcher starts to trudge beside us with a camera in our faces.

"Nevaeh Hacker and Chade Hudson!" He exclaims. I smile and tighten my grip on Chase's hand.

"Fletcher Greene!" I yell back. He peeks from behind the camera to give me a tiny grin. "How have you been greene? Haven't seen you in like a week."
