Never Let You Go: Life On The Line (A Mindless Behavior Story)

Chapter 8

☺☺☺☺

RECAP:

"If you are doing it for your little ones then starting over would mean the world to them. Just get the money and go far away with your family." I explained.

I know that she's going to refuse, I have a feeling she will.

"Okay." She muttered.

Woah. I was not expecting that.

"How much?" She asked.

"Fifty million dollars.."

***

Her eyes widened and she let out a gasp.

"What the hell are you going to do with all that cash?" Her eyebrows furrowed as she pouted.

"That's none of your business. You are not my friend anymore therefore you don't need to know anything. You are already getting half of it so the rest shouldn't concern you." I confidently told her as I looked at her directly in her eyes.

I quickly plastered a fake smile on my face as I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in" I firmly announced.

Chresanto opened the door, only wearing a white wife beater and sweats.

My eyes trailed to his visible abs. What the fuck? I quickly shot my head up and made eye contact, hoping he didn't catch on. Chres chuckled confirming my doubts that he noticed. I felt my cheeks heat up from the embarrassment. Damn it.

"Mikayla... Craig is heading north, are you staying longer? If not then he's only waiting 10 minutes for your ass." He snarled.

"No need for the attitude you bitch." Mikayla rolled her eyes. "But yeah I'll come now." Mikayla told him while examining her nails.

"See you.. Mik." My voice darkened as I called her by her nickname.

She extended her arms for a hug. I mentally rolled my eyes but hugged her back just to show Chres that we are 'friends.'

As soon as Mikayla exited the room I looked at Chres. He was just staring at me.

"So Craig's messenger boy, what's up?" I smirked.

Chres rolled his eyes and walked closer to me. He inwardly licked his lips before he spoke.

"I'm not his 'messenger boy'" He used air speech marks.

I didn't notice how close Chres was to me until I felt his breath on me. Chrestanto is really tall compared to me. I looked up to him and smiled. His eyes softened as his gaze met mine.

He looked so sex-- What? No. Chres is only a friend, nothing more. I can't think of him anything other than a best friend. He has a girlfriend for Gods sake! I don't even know why I'm arguing to myself, it's not like anything is going to happen.

"My main motive of coming here was to see you." My heart throbbed. Why is my friend so sweet?

"Really.." My voice came out as a whisper.

"Yeah, Asia. Do you want to go to the pool with me today?"

I thought about it, and my answer is no. If I go and have a good time that asshole Craig will think I'm liking it here.

"I know your gonna say no.. I can tell by your facial expression. We could go to the inside pool so no one would know you're there. C'mon Ayesh." He gave me his million dollar smile.

My eyes wondered to his abs once again (I totally need to stop!) and thought about it.. Locked in a pool with my topless bestfriend, why not.

I made eye contact and smiled. "Sure. I don't have anything to wear though"
