I Officially Hate You | Chris Sturniolo

Chapter 11

Whenever I went to the triplets house, I made sure I wasn't alone with Chris. I didn't want to hurt Matt again. But that was until Matt left me alone with Chris.

"Both if you sit right there."

"What why?"

"Because, I'm making Nick watch both of you."

"Uh if you haven't noticed, I'm not 5 years old. Shelby might be but I'm not."

"Oh really now? Who's the one who spilled the whole bag of flour because it would be great for content?"

"Whatever."

"It's not that I don't trust you guys, I just don't trust Chris."

"I take offense to that."

"As you should."

"Can I go with you? Cause I don't know if I can handle this idiot."

"You'll be okay I promise. Just play nice."

"Fine."

Matt kisses me then leaves. I turn to Chris.

"You know I've been avoiding you for a reason."

"I know. I have been too, and likely for the same reason. Neither of us want to hurt Matt."

"Okay then, so we forget what ever happened between us?"

"Deal."

Deep down, I didn't want to forget. I loved Matt, but I was starting to fall for Chris too. What is my brain doing?

We sat there in silence until Nick walked into the room with headphones on.

"I'm a motherfuckin star. Look what you've done."

"Nick. Shut the fuck up." Chris yelled.

"Don't yell at him. He's just vibing."

"Well he's being fucking annoying."

"Why did you turn all cranky all of a sudden?"

Nick looked at us rolled his eyes and walked out.

"Because."

I stepped closer to Chris.

"That's not an answer."

Chris stepped closer to me.

"It's a good enough answer."

All of a sudden, I kissed Chris again and I instantly pulled away.

"Fuck. We can't keep doing this."

Chris looked at me and turned dead serious.

"Break up with Matt."

"What?"

"If we can't keep doing this, then break up with Matt."

"Your fucked. I'm not breaking up with Matt."

"Just a suggestion."

"I dump him, then go date his brother. You know how stupid you sound."

I look out the window and see Matt pull into the driveway.

"Oh thank god."

I open the door and walk over to the car.

"Never ever leave me with Chris again."

I wasn't sure if I said because Chris drives me insane, or if I didn't want anything to happen between Chris and I.

Matt chuckled a little bit.

"Chris isn't THAT bad."

"He is that bad."

"Look, to make up for it.. how about you and I go out tonight?"

I smile.

"That makes up for it 99%."

"What do I have to do to make it 100%?" Matt asked with a little bit of a smirk.

"Y'know I need some proof that your gonna stick with the date tonight."

Matt kissed me and wrapped his arm around my waist.

"Does that make it 100%?"

"Mmm. Yeah."

Chris sat there looking out the window looking at Matt and I. Nick walked in this time without headphones.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing."

"Are you watching Matt and Shelby?"

"Maybe."

"Dude.."

"I know! I'm an idiot."

"I honestly don't know how to help you anymore."

"I know. I don't know how to help myself anymore."
