The Betrayal Within

Chapter Eight (Part One)

Song of the Chapter: Check Yes Juliet by We The Kings

Recap (Jasmine's POV):

“You know damn well that you want him to be here and sit next to him. I want to see what happens with this.”

“Argh! Fine!” I exclaimed. I turned around and I saw Adam talking to the cashier and Francisco looking at me then smiled.

“Good,” Paulene said. “This is going to be interesting.”

We all paid and walked to the nearest booth. Paulene and I went in first and Adam and Francisco went next. Adam sat next to Paulene and Francisco sat next to me.

This is going to be interesting.

Francisco’s POV

She's actually sitting next to me.

Why do I feel so nervous? She's just a friend. A friend that I extremely like.
I'd felt bad that I was the one that threw small rocks to get her attention.

But what could I have done?

I know I'm not nervous when I talk to her, but with the conversation I had with her, I felt sparks fly for me. We had a deep conversation that I think it was so nice.

Even though I heard Adam in the background screaming for his life when Paulene tried to punch him in the face.

I don't want to fuck things up like I usually do. I want to be really calm and be like I'm the best person in the world so maybe, just maybe I can hang out with her. Just me and her.

My phone lighted up and I saw a new message.

From Adam (11:23am): I think you're sweating, bro. Don't tell me you're nervous.

To Adam (11:24am): I'm not nervous. It's just so hot here.

From Adam (11:25am): Because your future wife is here lol

“Well, I think that some people are keeping secrets,” I heard Jasmine said. My head immediately goes
up and I saw Jasmine looking at me.

“Who could that be?” Paulene questioned, looking at Adam.

“Look, I was just texting my friend about how Texas is the biggest state in the world,” Adam explained.

“You're talking about Texas,” Paulene replied. “You would rather look at girls’ asses and see which one is the biggest.”

Jasmine and I started to laugh. I swear, I think Paulene has it for Adam. She hates him and Adam is just dumb. I should ask him if he's crushing on Paulene.

“Paul, why do you always interrogate Adam?” Jasmine asked.

“I don't,” she answered. “It's not my fault that he's dumb.”

“I take offense to that!” He exclaimed.
“Dude, shut it,” I said.

“I will not be silenced!” He exclaimed. “Why don't you guys get some food?”

“I don't trust you staying here so, I'm staying here,” Paulene replied.

“I'm hungry, so I'm going to go,” Jasmine said. She looked at me. “Excuse me.”

“Fine, show off your ass then,” Paulene joked.

“Francisco likes big butts and he cannot lie!” Adam started to sing.

“If it makes me get food faster, I will,” Jasmine responded. I got up first and she gets up. To be honest, I'd looked at her ass for a little bit.
