"Give me back my Cheetos, Cole."

"No Chris, back up or I'll drop the rest of the bag in the pool," I said giggling.

Chris came up behind then picked me up bridal style after taking his bag. I didn't fight cause I knew he wouldn't put me down until we got back inside.

After plopping me on the couch he hovered over me looking into my eyes. It was getting awkward so I pushed him off playfully trying not to show my uncomfortableness.

Chris and I are nothing but best friends. Well ever since I made that promise to his sister my past best friend. God rest her soul. Let me fill you in on the events of the past year.

                 Flashback:

I was sitting in the hospital looking at Cocoa lieing in the hospital bed sleep. I wish I could wipe her pain away I feel so helpless. Ever since Cocoa got diagnosed with stage four cancer she's been fighting for her life. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard Cocoa's breathing speed up which told me she was awake.

"Cole I have something to ask you," she whispered touching my hand weakily.

"Anything for you just name it," I responded.

"When I pass which I will, I know Chris is gonna be depressed so I need you to be there for him so he won't turn to drugs or drinking. Keep him under control for me. Please!"

I felt so guilty she still doesn't know about Chris and I's previous relations but I will definitely fulfill this request. I also just couldn't believe she gave up fighting this disease but I wasn't going to argue.

"Of course I will anything for you. I love you Bestie and I have something to tell you me and Chris-"

I got cut off by a loud buzzing and Cocoa closed her eyes. Wait I thought she can't be gone I haven't finished but atleast she knows I love her.  I shook her trying to get her up but the nurse came having to pull me away from her.

I cried for days but I had to keep my promise to her and redeem myself for never telling her. The guilt was eating me alive but I had to keep my word.

End of flashback.

Chris POV:

Cole was just sitting there silent while I watched TV. I could tell something was wrong.

"What you thinkin' 'bout?" I questioned.

"Nuttin' but there is something you should be thinking about."

"And what is that my lovely assisstant and bestie?" I knew what she was gonna say.

"My Birthday!" she cooed.

"So what you wanna do?"

"Nothing I'll just chill with my boss I guess I was just reminding you."

"No we did that last year I'm takin' you outta country where wanna go," her eyes lit up and she imediately said "Spain please oh please Chrissy Wissy."

"Ok stop begging and my name is Chris not Wissy,'' I joked.

"I'm gonna go pack we leave in three days. I wanna get there before my actual birthday. I love you thanks."

She hauled ass upstairs probably going to pick out oufits. She was so souped now I gotta get these plane tickets. We're gonna have a good time maybe I should invite some of our friends.
