The Fault (Book 3 in The Deception Series)

Chapter 25: doesn't make sense

Chris

~~~~~~~~~~~

Is it weird that I've been the happiest I've ever been since me and Dakota started seeing each other? I wasn't sure if we were an actual couple, but I was definitely not seeing anyone else and she wasn't either. I really like just having one girl to myself, it's way better than hooking up with a bunch of random girls.

I lay in bed and sighed, my head was hurting like a bitch. It was hurting pretty bad for the last few wakes. I really felt it after games or practice. I was probably just stressed out because finals are next week.

"Christopher!" I hear Taylor call before my bedroom door opens.

I look at her and smile, "Yes, Tay-Tay." I say.

"We're having a little party, Jules is sad about Norah leaving so Brennen wants to have a little party." She explains.

"Okay." I say.

She smirks before closing the door and jumping on the bed. I frown as I sit up and see her smiling at me.

"What?" I ask her.

She crosses her legs in front of her and lets out a laugh.

"What's going on with you and Dakota?" She asks.

"How'd you know?" I ask.

"It's pretty obvious, you've been crazy happy." She says.

I chuckle.

"Tell me." She demands.

I sigh as I look at her, "We've been seeing each other a lot, and she's just everything I've ever wanted." I tell her.

"Awww." She says.

"So is she your girlfriend?" She asks.

"I haven't asked her yet." I tell her.

"Come on, Chris. You have to invite her over tonight and tell her." She tells me.

"Okay, fine." I smile.

"Yay!" She cheers.

I laugh and shake my head.

"I can't wait to meet her." She says before she gets up and walks out of the room.

I smile to myself before I grab my phone and text her.

Me: me and my friends are having a little party, nothing too crazy. You wanna come?

Dakota: sure

Me: yay

I quickly get up and run to the bathroom, I shower and scrub myself clean. I finish showering and stand in front of the mirror. I was gonna ask her to be my girlfriend. That's weird. I'm gonna have a girlfriend? No way.

I feel my stomach begin to hurt and I groan. I run to the toilet and fall in front of it before I throw up everything I ate today. Ew.

I sigh as I fall back against the wall. I close my eyes and feel my head pounding harder and harder. What the hell?

You're being dramatic, Chris. You're fine.

I force myself to get up and I brush my teeth before putting on some clothes just as I get a text from my favorite girl.

Dakota: here, blondie

I smile before I run downstairs and open the front door, I feel my heart jump when I see her standing there smiling at me.

"Come here." I say before I pull her to me.

I kiss her passionately and she smiles against my lips.

"Hi to you too." She says as she pulls away.
