Knock Me Out

Chapter 32

Hi guys. I didn't do a spell check (yet) so please notify me if there are any typos.

Have fun reading.

Christian looks at me with hesitation in his eyes. I feel like I already know the answer to my question, but I desperately need to hear it from him.

"What kind of question is that?" He asks avoiding having to answer.

Instead of answering him, I wait patiently for my answer. When he notices that I'm not going to drop it, he finally says something.

"I think you two are the worse combination ever. I don't like him and he certainly doesn't deserve a little of your attention. I think you're making a very big mistake and I hope you realize it before it's too late. You wanna know what else I think? I think he's a hopeless psychopath and he doesn't love you" he says in a chill tone.

I remain quiet, not knowing what to say.

The sound of "Pillow talk" that's coming from my phone saves me from having to say anything right away.

I grab my phone and answer it without checking who's calling. When I hear the voice on the other end I know exactly who it is.

"Hey mom" I say and my voice cracks a little.

"How are you and Christian doing honey? You didn't call me yesterday at all. I was worried"

I guess I was so caught up in the whole Selena drama yesterday, that I totally forgot.

"I'm sorry mom. I just had so much going on yesterday, but we're fine. No need to be worried"

"If you say so honey. What are you guys doing?"

"We were just having a little conversation. Nothing much"

"Oh okay. I'm just coming from church"

"Cool. How was service today?"

"It was great. Is Christian there?"

"Yes he is, you wanna...."

I was going to ask my mom if she wanted to talk to him, but before I can finish my sentence, Chris grabs my phone from my hand.

"Hi mom" he says into the phone with a mocking smile on his face. I narrow my eyes at him as the two talk away.

I wasn't paying attention to their conversation, until Chris asks "Who's that? I heard a voice. Who're you with?"

I sit up trying to understand where this is going. Chris raises his eyebrows and looks at me.

"Are you sure?..... Okay..... I will.... Bye..."

He hangs up and looks at me as I look at him expectantly.

"Is mom seeing someone? Cause from what I heard she's not alone" he says.

"What did you hear?"

"She said it was the Butler, but would the Butler say 'here you go baby'?"
