Unexpected Love

Chapter Eight

"He brought flowers and we went out to dinner. He was so romantic and charming." Vilde just finished talking about her date with Magnus. They made up after the party a few weeks ago. I'm happy she found a guy who cares about her and makes her happy.

"We are going to the party this weekend, yeah?" Chris Berg asked. "Is that even a real question? Of course we are going," replied Noora. Everyone agreed to go and Sana volunteered to host the pre party.

"Speaking of parties, you gonna hook up with Chris again this weekend?" I look up to see girl Chris waiting for my answer and wiggling her eyebrows. "I don't know. We will see what happens," I answer honestly and shrug my shoulders.

"Eva? What is exactly going on between you two? You guys have been hooking up every weekend for a few weeks now... are you guys together?" That makes me laugh and look at Noora. She seems to be the only one who understands that Chris and I don't like each other.. not like that. Her and William have been hooking up even longer than Chris and I have been.

"No, Vilde. We aren't together and for the last time we just hook up sometimes at parties. Its just..It's like..if we go to a party and we are drunk and horny, but don't have anyone to hook up then we always find each other."

"So friends with benefits?" Sana asks. " Not exactly. Kind of...Um. We haven't slept together yet." The girls all seem surprised by this. "Yet? But you plan on sleeping with him? I thought it was just supposed to be a one time thing, made Hmm" I roll my eyes,"It's not a big deal. We don't like each other like that. Try not to forget he is a Penetrator, which means he's a player. He doesn't do feelings and I am not looking for a relationship. Also, I have no clue if we will eventually have sex." I pull out my phone to check my Instagram for a distraction.

"It's just.. um, are you sure you don't like him?" Vilde asks again. "Fucking hell, guys! I said no, now stop asking!" This shit is getting annoying. Vilde looks at me with sad eyes.

"I'm sorry Eva, I just care about you and don't want to see you hurt. I asked because..well Chris has still been hooking up with other girls." She seems upset about this.

"I know your trying to look out for me, I'm sorry I yelled Vilde. I love you girl, but honestly, I don't like him like that. He is free to hook up with whoever he wants and I can hook up with whoever I want to. It's seriously okay."

I feel bad for getting upset with her. I pull her in for a hug and the whole squad comes in for one. I love my friends, but they won't give up on this. They don't hound Noora for information about William.

We go back to discussing classes and taking a few pictures of us all in the school yard. Vilde nudges my shoulder and I look up from my phone. At that moment William and Chris walk by our little group. William nods his head, but his eyes are focused solely on Noora.

"Hello." I hear him say. Chris winks and they keep walking towards Williams car. Once they were no longer in view I pay attention to my phone again until I feel another nudge. I look up to see Sana, Chris, and Vilde looking at Noora and I. "What?" We ask at the same time.

"No feelings, huh?" Sana says smiling. "Oh my gawd, guys come one! They said hi to everyone," we reply. "Yeah, but he looked right at you and winked. And you Noora! What the hell is going on with you and William?"

She looked over at me for help. I smiled and waited for her bullshit excuse as to why William was so keen on her, but then my phone buzzed in my hand. Let her deal with the interrogators for a bit. I had a new text.

Chris Penetrator: you look so hot today 🔥👌🏻😉

You: Stalker 😜

Chris Penetrator: hahaha you got me, Mohn. It's your own fault though, why are you so fine? 😍🙌🏻👅

You: 🙄🙄🙄

Chris Penetrator: you know I love it when you play hard to get❤️...You coming to the party on Friday?

A small smile crossed my face when I read his last text, knowing what he was really asking. He wanted me again. He's been texting me to come over my house for a "night visit", but I keep rejecting him. It's easier to do so over text than in person. No gorgeous smile to make me forget what I was going to say and no tingling butterfly feeling from his touch to change my mind.

I was going to text him back, but then the bell rang signaling it was time to get to the next class so I put my phone away and said goodbye to the girls. I didn't tell them that Chris and I exchanged numbers because I get enough shit from them as it is. It's not like we have deep meaningful conversations with each other, it's usually just to see if we are going to be at the same party or him trying to flirt with me so I'll sleep with him.

I was busy texting Chris earlier that I missed whatever excuse Noora came up with off the top of her head .I'll have to ask her later, I doubt the girls will believe whatever it was. Now there's two people who actually have feelings for each other. "Take your homework out and pass it to the person in front of you," said the teacher. Shit! We had homework last night?! Fml.
