Falling

Cara's POV

"What!?" She almost gave me a heart attack by the way she screamed out of nowhere, I don't get why she's exploding, she knew exactly that I wasn't going to let anybody come between me and my money.

"You heard me" I said with a smirk, but she still had a confused look on her face, I let out an groan in desperation. She, out of anybody had to understand.

"But-but-but...why?" she was struggling to get something out, she actually bought the talk from last week and many from over that same week.

5 days earlier...

Karlie, Taylor and I were all seated on our kitchen's island. Karlie and Taylor were on for watching movies all day, but I had decided to go out and surf until the sun started to set and I had decided to head back.

It was 6:00 pm at the moment and we had order pizza for us three, we were starving and bored.

"So, I'm planning on asking Kendall on being my girlfriend" I said out of nowhere, we were all eating quietly considering we were all very very hungry. Karlie, who was sipping on some water, started choking. Well, I guess it is a surprise.

I started laughing my ass off on how funny my best friend looked almost dying. "Stoop" Karlie said while trying to recompose herself, she was having a bit of a trouble breathing considering the situation.

"That's great Carz" Taylor said, while she rubbed circules over her girlfriend's back, trying to desperately help her out.

"Thanks" I shot her a smile. Was I really ready for this?

"You...with a girlfriend?" said Karlie in disbelieve. "Are you sure?"

Karlie gave her a shot with her elbow "Be nice" she said.

"I am" I said, before Karlie could say anything else. "I am sure, I want Kendall to be my girlfriend" I repeated, but this time with the biggest fake smile I could possibly pull off.

Taylor just smiled like she understood, but on the other hand Karlie still looked a bit suspicious, but at the end she just gave me a smile. A real one, but I still knew there was going to be a lot more talking. Great, this is going to take a lot more convincing than I thought.

Present day...

"I have a plan, don't worry" I said while getting frustrated with this conversation and walking away towards the kitchen.

"And, what is your plan then?" Karlie shouted from the living room, I heard steeps afterwards meaning she was following.

"I knew you were going to get mad, that's why I had to convince you into believing that I actually wanted something" I explained not even looking at her. Because I knew this conversation was going to last at least more than an hour, I was looking for a drink on the refrigerator.

"I'm guessing that was step 1?" she said annoyed. She knows me so well.

"Yes!" I exclaimed happy, I looked up for the refrigerator with two beers on hand. I opened them and then gave one too Karlie, who grabbed it and took a long sip.

"You know something, I don't even agree on this bet anymore" She said after a short while of what seemed like thinking.

**

"I totally hate you for doing this to her, you know" Karlie breathed out. It was 2 am and we were currently laying on my bed, looking at the ceiling, talking about life.

"I know" I breathed out, just like her. It hurt honestly, not being able to give something to someone who seemed to want that for you, but with everything happening, I just couldn't bring myself to believe that I could give that to anyone.

"What's the next step?" she asked after a few seconds of pure silence. I smiled at that question, at least she wanted to hear about my plan.

"Family dinner" I responded, I knew she wanted details, but I was going to wait until she asked them, I had to give myself time to think on the answer.

"What does that mean?" she was confused, I understood.

"I'm going to make her fall in love with me at a family dinner she is having tomorrow afternoon" I elaborated a bit more. "I'm waiting on an invitation thou"

"And what makes you think your are going to be invited?" she asked confused as hell.

"Because I am her girlfriend" I stated and at that exact moment, just as I finished my sentence, my phone ringed, meaning that I had just received a text.

I quickly grabbed it and sure enough..."Is that her?" Karlie asked with excitement lingering in her voice.

"Yep" I said popping the "P" I said chuckling. "Told yah"

"Yeah, whatever" she said kinda pissed.

"What?" I said confused, I knew she was angry and stuff, but it was only a stupid bet.

"Nothing, it's just you could actually have something good and real with her, you know?"

"I know, but it's not my thing" I tried to explained what I had explained what seemed like a million times already.

"I know-I know, "I have been hurt a millions times" but I know that that is fucking bullshit and you fucking know that too" Karlie said angrily, like she just couldn't take it anymore. I understood that she wanted the best for me.

"You finally found a girl, who likes you and stares at you like you are a diamond, like you are this incredibly amazing thing she can't have. You should appreciate that" Karlie was still laying down, but struggling to find the correct words.

"I-I...don't know what to say" I mumbled after a few seconds, I was just thinking about what she said. I knew that I had a least some feeling for her, but it all seems so far away, like I can't bring myself to say it.

"You're right" I said after coming to a realization, I liked her. Karlie seemed surprise, because she quickly moved her head to look at me, like trying to understand if she had heard correctly.

"I am?" she asked in disbelieve.

"You are" I said while moving my head slowly to look at her, right on the eyes, I stared. Trying ohh so hard to bring myself to say those three words.

"I like her"
