CHAPTER 8

EVENING.....

9:30PM

Phone rings....
Derek Anderson calling......

I was scribbling down some writings when he called and I reached out for my phone to pick up.

"Hello there," he said, killing me with his voice.

"Hi," I said with a low voice.

"How are you doing pretty?" He asked murdering me this time.

"I'm doing fine. You?" I replied blushing.

"I'm okay. How was your day?" He asked. 

"God! Super hectic, yours?" I said trying not to recall how bad my day was.

"Boring," he said.

"Ohh......." Not knowing the best way to reply to that.

"Your friend tho, she looks hot and cute," he said, causing the pen to drop from my hand.

"Really?" Surprised he just said that.

"Yeah...I'll want to get to know her," he said, sounding kinda serious.

"Okay...." I'm beginning to think he likes Nora.

"I've been meaning to tell you something," he said again.

"What could that be?" I asked, eager to know what it was this time.

"Promise you won't be mad at me," he said.

"Okay....." Still can't figure out what is about to hit me.

"I love you," he said.

Woah...now that sounds odd. He sounded like he wanted Nora and now trying to woo me with his words. This guy has no idea how to be a good player, he doesn't know I'm way more smarter than he is. I smiled knowing he's into a deep one this time. 

"I'm sorry for saying it but I couldn't help it anymore." Trying to sound like he meant it.

I still wasn't able to say a word, it's obvious he is trying to play some silly games.

"Are you still there?" He asked.

"Yeah." I finally managed to say.

"You don't have to say anything if you don't want to. You can take all the time you want. I'll always be waiting," he said.

"Right, we'll see about that." Knowing he'll certainly be caught in his lies. 

"Now what?" He asked again.

"I have to go, I was busy when you called. Talk to you tomorrow," I said, trying to avoid him saying more because I was already irritated by what he just said. 

"Bye," he said and I hung up. 

I can't be fooled again. Nora needs to hear this, I want to figure out the best way to teach Derek some hot lessons. 

Nora
Dialling.....

"Hey girlfriend," she said, sounding happy.

"I'm in need of your help." I blurted out immediately.

"Derek right?" She asked.

"Yes, he just told me he loves me." I told her.

"I hope you're not falling for that right?" She sounded serious.

"Not this time. I need your help with something." I assured her.

"Which is?" She asked.

"I need to find out things about him. I want something I can use against him, I know he's trying to play some stupid game," I said hoping she will say yes.

"What game?" She asked.

"He was telling me you are hot and cute and would like to know you before telling me he loves me. Which means he's trying to toy with two best friends," I told her what he said. 

"If that's the case, I'll teach him a lesson for trying to joke with my bestie." That sounds more like my bestie.

"Sure," I said smiling.

"I'll go tomorrow and get what there is to get. Okay with that?" She asked.

"Yes. You sure know how to make me feel better," I said feeling happy that she agreed to it.

"It's pretty late so go to sleep and no worries," she said.

"Sure. Goodnight," I said, sounding happy.

"Bye," she said. I hung up.
