Why Don't We Give It A Try? || Blake Gray

Chapter 9

Hailey Cassander

After placing the mat, we arranged our bags in the middle.

"Good news!" He announced.

"Tell me about it" I said, sitting down.

"She broke up with her boyfriend to bring back our relationship" he said happily. "Thanks hay!" Then he hugged me.

"No problem" I smiled.

We pulled away from the hug.

"Aren't you uncomfortable hugging me, cause you've got your girlfriend already?" I asked.

"No, unless if there's bad meaning in it" he answered "friends have to be comfortable with each other"

"True" I agreed.

"What else could I teach you?" I asked, changing the topic.

"Well, I ask her out on a date" he said

"Oh, so you need tips about dates?" I asked, nonchalantly.

"Yes, exactly" he said.

"Just be yourself, there's no need for you to actually be the perfect person" I advised "you know what they say, whatever your flaws are, you are still perfect for someone"

"You and your quotes" he smirked.

"You and your girlfriend" I smirked back.

"So what are we waiting for? Help me prepare" he said, holding my wrist and dragging me somewhere.

"Wait, what about the food??" I asked, hesitating to run but he was strong enough to drag me.

"Oh yeah, I'll let my driver get it, just go" he said. Pfft, lazy kid. Minutes later, we were in his house.

"Mom, I brought Hailey with me today, she's gonna help me prepare!" Blake said.

"Okay, don't do anything malicious!" His mom teased from the kitchen.

"Whatever" he said as he lead me to his room.

I must admit, his house is probably 3 times bigger than mine. His room was at the second floor so it didn't really take much time. He opened the door as I looked around the room.

"Wow, it's amazing" I gazed.

"Well yeah, my dad's an architect" he bragged, going through his closet.

"So, how can I help you?" I asked, sitting in his King sized bed.

"Which tux should I wear?" He asked, showing me twk tuxedos.

"I told you, you don't have to work too hard" I said, trying to convince him.

"Just for now, I gotta make a good impression" he said.

"Ugh" I groaned.

He sat beside me "you don't believe I can pull it off right?" He asked.

"It's not that, you're great just the way you are" I said.

"But give me a chance to go an extra mile for this" he said.

"Fine"

"Yes! I owe you big time" he said.

"You seriously do" I said.

Sigh, what about me Blake? I'm always here for you. Yet, your eyes are set on a girl who cheated on you.

"So which tux?" He asked.

"The black one with the red bow" I said.

"Okay" he said going to his bathroom.

I was left alone in the room. So I looked around, seeing his pictures. Well, he does look cute when he's mad.

How does he do that? When I'm mad, I seriously look like a monster who haven't ate chocolate for a year.

"Here, how do I look?"he asked fixing the buttons of his tux.

"It fits you" I complimented.

"Gee, thanks" he said.

"Let me fix your hair" I said, going near him. I mean, girls love it when your hair looks nice.

He hesitated at first but he shrugged it off. I put his hair all in one side. Then I sprayed perfume on him.

"Girls love it when you smell good" I said.

"Quite obvious" he smirked.

"So what you have to do now is to pick her up from her house" I said.

"Okay, let's go to my car" he said.

We went downstairs to his car. Talk about rich kid, he has a Lamborghini.

"Wait! if you'll pick her up with me, wouldn't that be awkward?" I stopped.

"Oh yeah, I guess you'll stay here til it ends?" He suggested.

"I'll just go home, tell me all about it tomorrow" I said.

"Okay, drive safely" he said, going in his car.

"Sure will" I said and walked to the park, since I left my car there.

The walk took more than 15 minutes, it was tiring, just saying.

I grabbed my keys but didn't start the engines yet. I decided to call Penelope, I seriously need advice right now.

I dialed her number, she answered few rings after.

"Yes Lee?" she asked.

"Hey, it's me Hailey. I was wondering if you'd like to meet at the park?" I asked.

"Sure, be there in 20 minutes" she said then ended the call.

I sighed, guess I'm heartbroken again. I didn't really expect this to happen, I mean I just met him because of wrong number.

It's all an accident, this probably wasn't meant to happen. I guess you can say I'm unlucky whenever it comes to love.

"Hey Lee!" Penny looks through the windows, talking endlessly.

"Gosh you scared me to death!" I opened the windows.

"Open the other door" she said.

"Yeah, hold up." I said then unlocked the passenger's seat.

She went to the other side, which is on the passenger's seat. Then she closed the door

"So what shall we talk about?" She asked.

"It's about this Blake guy" I started.

"What about him?" She asked.

Hey guys

Sorry if it's a bit short. I'll make the next chapter better, promise.

I was kind of suffering from writers block. Wow, suffering? Really?
