Mr. Perfect ( On Hold)

"You did what now?" Tracey screams.

Other people on the nearby park benches start to stare at us.

"Jeez nothing remotely interesting is going on. Carry on with your pathetic lives people. " I shout.

" Look Trace, I love you a lot, but I am not planning on going deaf anytime soon, lower down your damn voice please. "

"Sorry, but I think you just made a deal with the devil. " Her serious tone making me reconsider my choices.

(A/N:-
*Pulls Tracey aside, wispers
My words Tracey, my words exactly
*throws Tracey back in the conversation )

It was lunch break for me and Tracey so, here we are at the nearby park sharing half a pizza. I just finished telling hey what happened between me and Ashton earlier today.

"You know that does not comfort me right?"

"Yeah but, I mean didn't he have any other option?"

"Yeah he did, but trust be this one's way better. "

"What's the other one? "

"Suing me for $4800"

"Yup this one's better."

"Like I said. "

"Then I think it's alright. Just be careful Lee, I don't want you hurting. You've already have had enough to deal with. "

"But look on the brighter side, it's like I am getting a new life. He is taking care of all the bills, and is giving me a new house which I am sure will be better than my current cubicle. "

"Yeah I guess. "

"I'll be alright Trace. Don't worry about me" I say giving her a hug.

Throwing the box in the nearby waste bin we make our way back to the diner for my second shift.

I put on my apron and grab my notepad and go back to my work of waiting tables.

By the time evening rolled in, my shift was over.

"Bye Kaity, bye Trace, see you tomorrow. " I say waving my hand and go out in the chilly night air.

I pull my thin jacket closer to my body to salvage some warmth.

"Hey Hals " someone screams from behind me.

I shriek and turn around only to come face to face with a grinning Ethan.

"What the hell Ethan! Are you out of your fucking mind. You scared the shit out of me. " I place a hand on my chest trying to calm my erratic heart.

"My apologies, your highness " he quotes himself.

"Damn right you peaseant "

"Assuming Ashton made the deal with you and you agreed, here's a small gift for you. "

It was a small box, slightly heavy in a gold wrapping paper.

"Oh you didn't have to do that Ethan. "

"No it's not from me, it's from Ashton. "

"Oh! What is it? "

"Open it. "

I tear the paper open to find a white box in side. It has a picture of a bitten apple on it

"What is it? "

He looks at me confused.

"You don't know what this is? "

"No. Should I know? "
