New Beginning

Chapter 5: Friends with benefit

Meanwhile...

"What the heck is wrong with you? Stop pacing."    

Quinn crossed her arms, watching Alex storm back and forth across the hotel room.

"The plan is failing," he muttered, frustration laced in his voice. "Juliana just went on a date. How can she like me if she's dating someone else?"

Quinn scoffed. "I thought she was into you. She acted jealous before."

"She wasn't jealous. Juliana doesn't get jealous easily. You have to come up with a better plan."

"OK, OK, I'll think of something else," Quinn relented, stepping closer. "But if she doesn't get jealous..."

She paused.

"That only means one thing."

Another step.

"She doesn't like you."

Alex looked down, silent.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Had he already lost her?

Or worse—had he never had her to begin with?

🔥 Chapter Update! 🔥

What do you guys think so far? 🤔

So... plot twist! Quinn and Alex were in a contracted relationship all along. 😲

And Juliana? She's caught in a whirlwind of emotions. Does she actually like Alex, or is it just lingering confusion? I mean... can you really blame her? 🥲😅

Her heart says one thing. Her mind says another. And now, Blake has stepped into the picture, making things WAY more complicated. 😏

Are we sensing a love triangle brewing? Or is something even bigger about to go down? 👀

Tonight is really cold it wasn't that cold yesterday night so I didn't think of bringing a sweater or jacket or anything that would have helped in this embarrassing situation.

The bridge is a 10-minute walk from the hotel, Blake came to pick me up after I texted that I was ready to go. Luckily Blake is not as clueless as I am he is wearing a jacket a blue one like a spy uniform only the color is different but the style isn't, I would know since I have the same one but mine is black, He is also wearing a black glove. (Looks warm)

Why did I refuse him when he offered me his jacket am so stupid now am going to freeze to death because of my carelessness you are probably thinking I refused the jacket because I am kind-hearted and a good person but no that wasn't the reason behind it. I refused the jacket because I don't like the color blue and it wouldn't quite match the dress am wearing. Just great now my teeth are scattering uncontrollably, Why am I like this? 

I noticed Blake glance at him more than twice ( He is next to me) He must be thinking. "How can she not bring a jacket in this cold weather, have never met anyone sooooooo stupid," Am sure that is what his thinking.

Blake glanced at me again and to my surprise, He held my hand. I glanced at him. Another thing about me is I don't like being touched by people for so long and the limit is about a minute. It just annoyed me for some reason but right now I don't think I should be complaining especially when his hand is so warm or maybe it course of the glove no the glove should be cold since it's cold out but instead, it is warm does it have to do with his hands or something (Intreating)
