My Player Best Friend

Confrontation

Jake decided to drive me home that night. He thought it's too dangerous for me to walk alone even though it was only 6pm.

Jake turned on the radio while he was driving.

"So...what exactly is your plan?" Jake asked.

"You really think I'd tell you? It would spoil everything."

"Actually, you need to tell me. I'm your helper, remember?"

I stuck my tongue out.

"Well?"

"You'll see."

He stopped the car and that's when I noticed we were already in front of my house.

"I gotta go." I said, looking at my house.

The lights are on meaning Chase was already home.

When I turned to Jake to say bye, I found him leaning to me, he was so close to my face. His green eyes were staring at my brown ones.

He opened his lips lightly and close his eyes.

I closed mine too and mimicked what he did with his lips.

As we get closer, I could feel his breath mixing with mine. I parted my lips.

We were only an inch apart when a loud knock scared the hell in us.

Jake immediately backed off. He was breathing hard and blushing, just like me. We both turned to look at my side.

Chase was standing there. His arms were folded on his chest. He looked furious. His jaws were tensed. Wait, furious?

He eyes were daring me to get out of the car.

"He's furious." I whispered.

Unexpectedly, Jake went out of the car.

My eyes widened.

What was he doing?!

I got out of the car and stood beside Jake and in front of Chase.

They were glaring at each other, staring each other down.

Chase suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me to his chest. His one arm was holding my waist.

"Get in." he told me.

I looked at him. But he was still glaring at Jake.

"Sam, I told you to get in."

I shook my head at him.

"Samantha." Chase called me in his warning tone.

"Stop ordering Sam. She's not your puppet." Jake hissed.

Uh-oh.

I felt Chase's hand clenched.

"Who are you to tell me what to do?!" Chase shouted.

"And who are you tell her what to do?!" Jake shouted back.

"I'm her best friend!"

"Listen, Court! I don't even know why you're so pissed."

"It's my girl you're messing with!"

"I'm not the one messing with her, you are!"

Chase stopped and looked at me.

"What's he talking about?" he demanded.

"Nothing, Chase."

Chase looked at Jake.

"What are you talking about?!"

Jake looked at me and I could only plead with my eyes, asking him to keep my secret.

"You think she wants you to know?"

"Know what?!"

"Think, Court. If she really wants you to know what it's all about, she should have told you instead of telling me."

Chase froze with what he said. I could feel his breathing quicken.

I saw hurt in his eyes.

Jake went off but Chase and I remained in the same position.

Chase slowly loosened his arm around my waist.

I went inside the house.

I heard his footsteps after I went in.

I walked up to my room, closing the door as I sat on my bed.

I heard the door open and close.

"What is it, Sam?"

I remained silent.

"What was he talking about? Me messing with you?"

I didn't answer.

"Answer me, Sam."

"Drop it off." I mumbled.

"I can't. I won't. Why did he say that?! I never messed with you!"

"You didn't, okay? You didn't do anything!"

"Then what was he talking about?!"

"It's nothing, Chase! It was just a mistake. He didn't mean what he said. Why are you mad at me, anyway?"

"You were kissing him in his car! Where did you go? Did you go out with him?" he screamed angrily.

"You're exaggerating, Chase! We haven't gone on a date. We just went to his place and--"

"You freaking went to his place?!"

"Stop it! We went to his place to plan out your date! We didn't do anything wrong."

He seemed to believe me.

"Are you telling me the truth, Princess?"

I nodded.

"I believe you." his voice and expression softened.

Then his expression hardened again.

"What about the kiss?!"

"You interrupted the kiss, didn't you?"

"But if I didn't, would you do it?"

"It didn't happen, okay? Let it go. It was just the heat of the moment. It won't happen again."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked up to me and embraced me. I hugged him back.

"Promise me princess."

"What?"

"You'll never leave me no matter what"

I thought about it.

"Yeah, I'll never leave you ever." even if you got a girlfriend.

I've reached 752 reads! Thanks guys. You're all amazing. This is probably the BEST advanced birthday gift to me. My birthday's coming up. It's the day after the Valentines. You guys got a date? I'll only go out with my other broken-hearted gals. Valentines day isn't just for couples, it's for everyone who can love. So yeah...my guy best friend asked me out. But I got nervous at the idea of us alone on the 14th so I told him I couldn't go. I can't decide whether to give up on him or not. Because he's not planning to give up on my girl best friend either. What do you guys think?
