His Bet

Chapter Forty One

Brix

Ace told me about what she heard from my brothers. She wouldn't spill not unless I'll take that out from her mouth but I know I can't just press her further so I just make sure there's no room for another set of lame excuses when I ask her that I need to know the details. I suddenly feel screwed when she said about how mad Chris is and about the girl. Which is her.. As far as I don't want to earn another fight from Chris avoiding Ace to know about the Bet Game scares me the most. That can't be.. I ask if she heard anything aside from it but she said its when Red appears in front of her. I almost feel my heart is going to throw up on my throat when she said about that. So I ask about Red to change the topic swiftly and tried my best to lighten up the mood a bit. I even told her Red likes her and it just hit her just now. I know I'm not suppose to tell her that because its Red's but she needs to get distracted. So I gave her something she can get a hold focus on. Call me bad or anything but I wouldn't risk losing her now. Not right now when I know what I feel for her is real. I'm sure I'll be earning brother fights on this but I less care about it now. Helping and showing Ace how much she is to me is much stronger than to twist that tiny hard headed brain Chris out of that sick game. I regret I participate on that.. I should have known this before.

She starts feeling uncomfortable about what I said and she even accused me that I'm just teasing her that its not true but I just chuckle on that cute reaction.

"Why? I mean.. Why me?" And now she's thinking less of herself.

"If you are to ask me that, well I'm sorry but I got no specific answer for that." I answered. I don't think she's ready to hear my side.

"That's insane. You should have at least some reason why you like me or what."

"I like you because I like you." I shrug.

She look taken a back of what I said and studies my reaction if I'm lying or not so I just let her be. Saying that I like her because I like her is pretty much easier than to blurt everything I feel for her.

"I can't believe this." She almost threw her hands on frustration.

"Hey.. Don't feel pressure on that kitty. I'm not pressuring you to answer me or him. I just want you to know that. I know its a bit crazy but this is true. I like you the way my brother likes you. Sure I'm afraid you'll choose him over me but I think less of it now. I just want to focus on helping you and showing you how much I care. No pressure I swear. But I don't mind if you want me to be your boyfriend now." I gave her a wink on the last phrase.

"Why do I feel like I wanna spank you in the face." She said. I just find it cute when she's being a bit bossy.

"Why do I feel like I wanna kiss you in the lips for being that bossy." I whispered loud enough for her to hear it clearly and stare boldly at her gray eyes.

Out of conscious she pursed her lips that made me look at it with hunger. Why do she always do that when I least expect it and why on earth it still like the first time I saw her purse her lips like that. I suddenly feel like I'm out of breathe and the air inside her tiny and lovely mouth is the only thing that can sustain it.

"That's not helping baby.." I breathe my voice hoarse.

C'mmon Brix. Keep your cool. The girl's far away ready from that.

I feel my body inch closer to hers as I caged my both hands beside her hips.

Stop that Brix.

Just this way. Please, just this way.

So close.
