Falling In Fall (Major Editing)

Pulling roots

C h a p t e r 4 5

An undeniable fulfillment fed my soul after what activity was made, lately. Though, my aching knuckles says otherwise, it still felt good to know that Nathan lost one heck of a pride.

No one's wife: I guess, change my contact name from no one's wife to Mrs. Gustin, or Mrs. Garfield? I mean, Grant and Andrew are hotties so... 🔥

I'm not changing it anymore. It's been the fifth time, and I won't make it sixth and forth! <

Since Hailey realizes that she had been worshipping a prick's feet, she began gagging out her quondam husband, whom only existed in the phantasm of her own making.

No one's wife: Please, Nikki! I don't want to be single!

Okay, okay. So, what's on your mind? <

No one's wife: Well, right now I'm thinking, Chris Hemsworth's abs...

I released a deep sigh after reading her reply. Almost thirty minutes ago, Chase sent me a text, saying that he's been at the gym and will be here any minute now, so I have to end the conversation with Hailey so I could take a bath, pronto.

Chris Hemsworth's abs. Done. Bye bye, Hailey! See you tomorrow! 👋 <

Chris Hemsworth's abs: What, no! I didn't mean it that way!

Of course, you do. 😂 <

When I sent the message, I rushed to the bathroom thereafter, and decided to relax my body a bit with the tepid water pouring down on me. Time leaps out of my consciousness, I was still inside the bathroom shampooing my hair and Aunt Crissa called my name, saying Chase has arrived.

Turning the shower off, I shouted back a response, "Be right there in a minute!"

Afterwards, I rapidly rinsed my hair, dried myself and slipped on a pair of comfortable pajamas, before speeding down the stairs to meet Chase.

"Hey," I smiled, approaching the good looking guy sitting on the sofa with Sally sleeping beside him. "Sorry, if I made you wait."

"It's fine, I just got here anyway." Chase grabbed my wrist, and guided me to sit beside him before resting both his elbows on his knees with our hand interconnected, "So, what happened? Is Hailey doing okay?"

Chase's thoughtfulness really poked my heart. The way he asks not just about me, but also included everything I was concerned about. Be it my friends, or my day. And I cannot lie, that was basically the sweetest piece of him.

"I guess she's doing fine after I told her that Nathan is just another trash, I mean, not a trash. Well," I nervously let out a short laugh, "What I'm trying to say is that, she's been laughing her ass out earlier, while I trembled out of nervousness as we fleed for our lives."

"Wait, what?" Chase furrowed his eyebrows, and distanced his face from me, for him to see if I really was being serious.

"Yeah, well, that normally is a part of a little excursion we do..."

He let a small nod, as if fairly convincing himself. "Uh-huh... You know, Nathan called me earlier, said he has been attacked by a crazy masked girl."
