Shouldn't Have Kissed You.

chapter 40

Dedicated to @bempomah

"Happy Happy Birthday Maya."

Everyone shouted and all she could do was stand there with tears in her eyes. It's as if she couldn't believe that all that Kyle had done was for her. At the moment Chris just thought with his heart. For once in his life, he thought using his heart and not mind.

Isn't that what most people do? They think with there minds always forgetting that their hearts can also make decisions too. For instance, you can find yourself in love with two people but you've no idea on which to choose. My advice, listen to your heart because the heart wants what it wants.

Chris moved closer to her once again and pulled her into his arms. She was crying but this time for happiness. He just rubbed her back and let her to calm herself down which she did.

"Did you like the surprise, crying baby?" Kyle asked walking over to her.

Chris let Maya to pull away from her and went to embrace her her best friend. It was the sweetest site to admire because Kyle was fighting her tears too.

"Thank you so much Kyle." Maya said pulling away. "But you didn't have to go through all this trouble."

"Anything for you dear..."

"Guess I lost this bet." Leonel said walking behind Kyle.

Kyle turned around to look at him. "Told you. My two dollars now."

Maya looked at Leonel as he pulled out his two dollars out. "You know, I thought you would be strong than that, Maya." He said handing Kyle the money.

"Chris don't pretend, I won."

Chris rolled his eyes at her and took a five dollar and gave it to Kyle. Of course, he had lost to her too. It seems that Kyle knew Maya more than the two of them. He wasn't in the same bet as Mr Ambrose but his was about the colour. He was sure that Maya would wear her white dress with black shoes but Kyle said they would be blue in color hence the bet.

And now Maya wore blue shoes that he had seen when they left the house. And since he was such a gentleman, he let himself loose without cheating. He would have asked her to wear black since they stay in the same house and Kyle would have never known about it.

"What's all this about?" Maya asked looking at both of them.

"Actually, this guys over here pretended to know you better than me." Kyle explained putting her money in the purse. "And we had to bet, your husband said you would wear black shoes and I said you would wear blue." Kyle pointed at her shoes. "And as for Leo here, he said you won't cry since you love so much to hide your feelings and you did." Kyle smiled at both of them.

"So in other words, you're making money with my name?"

"You my friend." Kyle said moving closer to her. "Can make me very rich. All I've to do is bet on you."

Chris watched Maya open her mouth to say something but someone approached her to wish a happy birthday. This went on with more people around her making small conversation and he loved how they interacted with her.

Kyle had thought of the perfect place to hold her birthday. The hospital hall wasn't a bad idea since this is what Maya loved. Her patient. It was filled with them and the family members since it just so happens that Maya had only three friends with him counted as a friend.

The hall was decorated in white and blue which happened to be Maya's favourite colours. Chris smiled at that thought. The first time he had taken her to the garden, he asked her her favorite colour after telling Maya his but she just laughed and changed the topic.
