'Cause Nothing Lasts Forever ✔️

Chapter 24 - You are my girlfriend.

Blaire's POV

Sitting beside Chris now felt different, after what had happened last night. It's like something's changed.

"What are you thinking about sunshine?"

"Nothing,"

"Yeah nothing," he grasped my hand firmly, "trust me, Blaire, nothing has changed. We'll always be friends first and then anything else."

I smiled at him.

Oh! come on, he's not that bad. I like him, I like this devil.

"So girlfriend, what you wanna eat for lunch today?" he asked as we were walking towards our room.

"Anything will do, boyfriend," I laughed at my own reply.

It was like all smiles and ample of happy moments, like living a Disney life. Always a happy ending, but it was a happy beginning there. He entered the room, locked the door and muttered,

"Now I got ya--" a short pause, "all by myself,"

"What?" I asked.

He didn't even give me time to respond as he lifted me up, swirled and rotated around the room like a top, "You, " he replied at the top of his lungs.

"Woah! Christian! Chris put me down, right now," I said, my head literally spinning from the effect.

He placed me down on the bed, smiling like an idiot. I have never seen Christian so happy before. He kneeled down on the floor before me and grabbed my hands from my lap.

"I regret this..." he said smiling.

"I regret waiting for these three months," he breathed out, a smile never leaving his lips.

"Stupid," I commented and we both broke out in peals of laughter.

This really felt so perfect but what I'm afraid of is life isn't a fairytale. No one knows what's going to happen on the very next moment, and no one can guarantee a happy ending. It's not like those Walt Disney pictures whose endings we already know from before. Life is like a novel which can take turns at any moment and no one ever knows what those turns are gonna bring it on the very next chapters.

It's Wednesday and we were back to school. We stepped out of the car and walked towards the entrance while he laced his fingers with mine.

"Christian, what are you doing?" I muttered under my breath.

"What?"

"You are my girlfriend and we are official. Let people know," he came up with his theory.

"Okay, so the bad boy got himself a girlfriend," I teased.

"uh-huh...the bad boy met his destined girlfriend," he winked.

I rolled my eyes at his correction while heading towards our class. During the whole period, he kept throwing tiny paper balls, with a note in each one of them. One of them read, "October is unexpectedly becoming too hot to handle."

I smiled at it, he never failed to keep his cockiness away.

We walked through the basement when I suddenly asked him, "Christian, do you trust me?"

"More than myself," he answered without any second delay.

He pulled me towards himself and pinned me to the wall. Even before I could speak out, he stole a quick peck on my lips. There was always this spark of fire and passion.

Gal, you need to be fast in your reflexes.

"I know you do too," he murmured.

We finally made it to the field when Thomas said, "We are going to play - dodgeball, warm-ups first. One round around the field," he blew his whistle.
