Only A Bet

Jorge's POV

"Jorge!"

I hear Tini's voice calling me as I walk through the hallway.

I turn around and see her running towards me.

"What happened?"

"Nothing really."She panted heavily.

"I just, wanted to ask you, out."

"You? Ask me? Ask me out? Are you serious?"

"Very."She smiles. "Well?"

"Well, okay if you want to. Um, when?"

"Today if you want. In the afternoon?"

"Sure. See ya."I say and walk away.

"See ya."She says and walks to Lodo.

————————————

It is 5 in the afternoon and as soon as I get ready I start making my way to Tini's house.

When I arrived I knocked on the door. I wait a few seconds for her to open.

"Hey."She says shyly.

"Hey. So,where do you wanna go?"I say as we start walking together.

"I want to go somewhere quiet. So we can talk."

"Sure.What about?"

"I will tell you when we arrive there."

After some minutes we stopped at the park and sit on the grass.

"So, what do you want to talk about?"I ask her.

My curiosity is killing me.

"Remember when you asked me about my ex-boyfriend?"

"Yeah."

"Well, I think I trust you enough to tell you."She looks at me with a tiny smile.

"Okay."

!TW slight mention of attempt of sexual harassment!

"Almost one year ago, it was our anniversary and we had gone on a date together to celebrate. After we hung out a bit, he told me he had a surprise for me."She paused for a second.

"I trusted him so I wasn't really afraid. But then, we arrived to this 'surprise' he mentioned me. And that' s when I realized it was a streets corner."She took a deep shaky breath before continuing.

"He.."Her voice cracked. "He started kissing me. More like making out with me. But that's not even the worst part. He then proceeded to try and remove my clothes."

"I started crying and begging him to stop but he wouldn't listen. It was useless."She let the first tear fall. "I managed to break free of his grasp. I immediately started running with all the strength that I had left. He was running after me but luckily arrived at my house fast enough to escape and locked the door, the windows, everything."She had her head bowed down so couldn't see her face but I knew she was crying.

"I realized that I was an idiot. I thought he loved me. But he was a player and he was really good at hiding it. How could I let myself be tricked like that Jorge? How?!"She was covering her face with her hands now.

!End of trigger warning!

My immediate reaction was to hug her. I wrapped my arms strongly around her. Hoping that she would feel safe.

I knew her pain. I almost felt sorry for her.

And before I knew it my mouth was just saying words.

"It was Christmas. We thought and claimed that we were in love. When I realized she was a cheater. One night at one of my friends party, I lost her in the crowd of people because I was greeting some of my friends."

"I searched everywhere for her. When I eventually found her, upstairs. I saw her making out with," I debated whether I should tell her or not. But then I thought fuck it because I wanted to win this bet. And he was getting in the way.

"Jim. Almost half naked and I didn't stop them. I walked downstairs and just started drinking to drown my sorrows away. Numb the pain that I was feeling. The feeling of betrayal by the one person I thought that would never made me feel that way."

"Next thing I remembered was myself lying on my bed. The next day she came to my house as if nothing had ever happened but I knew. I saw. I screamed at her. To the point that my lugs felt like they were on fire. Of course I eventually broke up with her."

"When she left I started breaking everything that stood in front of me. I was blinded by rage and the pain that I felt. So there's that. Then I came to the decision that I would never let anyone do that to me ever again. That's why I am here now. The way I am."

She was looking at me. Her eyes were glassy, reflecting the orange sunset that the sky had given us.

I could see that she was sorry for me too. I could sense it.

I mean who wouldn't to be honest.

"Now she is just trying to redeem herself and be with me because of my popularity."I sigh.

"No need to feel sorry for me,really. Now I–"She hugged me tightly. I hugged her back, surprised by her gesture.

"I am sure you will find someone who can heal you."She says.

"I think I have already found that someone."

Don't think that I am mean this. It's just for the bet.

"And who is that?"

"Well, she has brown hair, dark brown chocolate eyes, a beautiful smile and her name starts with an M."I let go off our hug. "With more simple words, that is you."

Yeah totally lying.

"Then if you really want me to feel the same, you have to wait."She smiles a little and caresses my cheek.

"Just don't make me wait too long."I say leaning in.

"You have to wait for this to happen too."She says and I back away sighing.

"Okay, I understand."

She kisses my cheek softly and stands up.

"Come on idiot. Let's go."

"Yeah. Let's go."I stand up too and slowly brush my hand towards hers at first and then eventually hold it. Her first immediate reaction is surprise but she holds mine back.

"Thank you for comforting me."She says.

"It was nothing. Thank you too though."
