The Juice is Worth the Squeezed

Chapter 13 1/2-Josh and Kristine Bonus Chapter

Josh POV

After Geoffrey's party, I decided to pursue Kristine once again.. Bloody hell! She is so beautiful that night my jaw almost drops to the floor when I saw her. She looks so angelic! Her rosy cheeks was just amazing. So I decided today that I'm going to know more about her life.

I was driving my car towards the Coffee shop where she and Methel are working although I doubt that Methel is there already because seeing Geoffrey last night. I'm sure he wont let Methel leave his side until he is fully satisfied.

When I arrived in front of the coffee shop. I'm right that Methel is nowhere to be seen, instead its Geoffrey's own staff from his restaurant in place of Methel. Kristine on the other hand is on the counter looking angelic as always. Before I got out of the car, I search for Mr. Potskie, the owner of the shop who seems more ambitious than Geoffrey himself. I wanted to take Kristine out today so I need to deal with him first, when I saw him coming out from his office, I was confused when Kristine removes her apron and hugs the old man.

They are talking animatedly for a brief second then after that Kristine got out of the Coffee shop and walk exactly towards where I parked my car.

Oh shit! Did she know I will be here? I asked myself with happiness starting to burst like the fourth of July inside me.

She is just wearing a normal set of clothes today but then for me, she looks better than normal!

My heart is beating really fast as she get's closer and closer but then to my disappointment, she turns around and went to the car next to mine and from it, a guy came out. He is an average normal looking guy and I think Kristine deserve's better... she should be with me.

They both entered the car and her boyfriend maneuvered it going to the deeper parts of the city, maybe the two of them will go on a date. I followed the cheap car until it was been parked in a small space beside the road and because I'm planning to follow them, I looked for a parking lot close by. Once I paid the fee on the parking lot I found, I immediately went out to the street to find them.

Fuck! Where the hell are they? I asked myself as I desperately look for the two.

When suddenly I heard someone fighting. I went to that direction and when I reach it... luck is with me because the one's involved on the fight is Kristine, with her boyfriend holding an outraged older woman.

"You stupid girl! Do you know that this guy is my boyfriend!" yelled the older woman looking furiously at Kristine.

Kristine's face is white like the clouds... like all of the blood was been drained out from her face.

"Stop it Jessica! Please," pleads the guy holding the outraged older woman.

"No you womanizer," snaps the girl named Jessica, "I wont be responsible for your allowance anymore... try at least to find a job from now on," then she lowered her voice in a mocking tone, "that is if someone hires an idiot like you."

"No, Jessica, please," pleads the guy again.

The older woman shrugs and pushed Kristine's boyfriend.

"Then choose," said the older woman adjusting her slutty clothes, "me or you little white-faced girlfriend."

The guy looks at the two of them desperately but then in the end, she choose Jessica. The two of them walks off, leaving Kristine still standing on her spot, frozen. 

All of the people watching the scene started to leave, going to their own business. Leaving Kristine that's now started crying, they are giving her a look of pity.

I walk towards her and once in front of her, I took my handkerchief in my pocket.

"Here," I told her, "borrow this."

She seems startled seeing me in front of her.

"Joshua?" she asked me as she sobs between lines.

"Yes, its me," I replied smiling at her.

 I was caught off guard when she embrace me all of a sudden and started crying.

"I know you'll say my boyfriend is so stupid... and that a lot of guys are better than him," she muttered her voice muffled by my shoulder, then she looks at me, "you'll say it right?"

I smiled at her tucking one of her stray hairs.

"I am better than him Kristine," I replied in a matter of fact tone, "because guys like him are like trash, they belong in the garbage and girls like you should be with guys like me," then I look away for a moment, "that is if you want to."

She smiled tightly.

"I should try," she replied with a shrugged.

Yes, you should, I told more to myself smiling as I remove the tear stains on her face.

Finally.
