In A Heartbeat

Chapter 13

I walked into the restaurant alone since Andrea insisted on giving both of us some 'privacy',"ugh I didn't even ask for his name,this is so wrong on many levels."she told me that the guy was wearing a blue T-shirt and sitting close to the window I spotted him,his back angle looked incredibly familiar, it was so familiar I just couldn't place my hand on it.

I took a deep breath and walked up to the unknown guy,I sat opposite him and looked up at the guy......no way,no freaking way.

"C-cole."I questioned breathlessly.

I can't believe this, am stuck up in a date with my ex,well it wasn't Andrea's fault she wouldn't have known since she never met him and that was because he told me our relationship was a secret between us looking back I realized what a fool I was.

"WOW,I can't believe it's you,but it's really is you Ash!"he exclaimed, the way he talked disgusted me I never knew what attracted me to him back then."Am so glad you came to this date to see me."he smirk and all the anger came back but I decided to play it cool.

"Excuse me,I wouldn't have come here if I knew I was going to meet you here."I said simply.

"You haven't changed one bit,still feisty that was one of the things I liked about you."he said smiling, I wanted to give him a punch to wipe that smile he had on him.

"Really now."

"Yes really, now you go on blind date,am satisfied you haven't moved on from me yet."he said taking my hands.

I snatched my hands back and he smiled."Really Cole what's the big idea."I said raising an eyebrow.

I was taking the drink the waiter brought me when Cole suddenly went."I want you back."I almost choked on my drink.

"Cole you and I know you don't feel anything for me and neither do I am way past that."I told him the truth honestly.

"That hurts,but seriously seeing you now makes me regret I let you go before I was such a fool and I was immature,so what do you say let's take this as a sign and start over."

"Woah,what an idea,I will agree......"he looked pleased."In your dreams,so stop this foolishness."I said and continued with my drink.

"I see you have company."a familiar high pitched voice rang out,I looked up I was right and she was with him."His he your boyfriend?"she asked.

"What's that to you?"I answered back,but it more of a question.

"Just answer the question Ashley."she said again irritably,I stood up to confront her she was getting on my damn nerves.

"Yes I am."I looked up at Cole who now held my waist slightly and from the corner of my eyes I looked at Dayne and saw him tighten his fist.

"What?am your girlfriend.... Oh yes that's right so can you let us be."I said trying to remove Cole's hand from my waist.

"Oh my that's nice,I see you've changed your look,you look like a......... never mind,this means you can stop bothering my boyfriend,you know emmm."

"Cole,my name is Cole."

"Oh yes Cole please tell your girlfriend to stop flirting with my boyfriend since she has you."she said walking away and Dayne followed her.

"Why did you say you are my boyfriend?"I suddenly asked.

"You didn't object."he replied and he went on."it seems like that what you wanted."

"Stop the daydreaming Cole never will I want to be your girlfriend after everything you think it's that simple after you played with my feelings never.If you will excuse me I got to go."I didn't know why I said that but I wanted him to know I was not the same girl he used two years ago am better than that I stood up and exited the restaurant, I called Andrea and told her I was going home straight and will tell her the details whenever we meet.

I woke up earlier than usual since I couldn't sleep much last night,I took a quick shower and wore a simple dress comprising of black jean,black crop top and a black jacket with a white canvass I just like wearing black today,I loved the way Andrea did my hair so I left it down and applied powder and some lip gloss since I didn't want to look pale.

I went down to get some breakfast, sandwich, I guess Mom was in a hurry,I rushed my food since I was running late,when I got to the school the hallway was silent which was very strange it only means one thing... Oh no,I ran down the hallway and rushed to the class, I entered the class I saw that lectures already began.

"Late again Baxter."Ms.Cooks looked at me sternly dropping the book from her hands.

"Am so sorry Ms.Cooks it won't happen again believe me."I pleaded with her.

"You've used that phrase quite a number of times and I didn't see any changes."She said putting her hand under her chin.

"But ma......"before I could defend myself she uttered."Detention."she said.

"But Ms.Cooks...."

"Here have your slip."she handed me detention slip.

Few seconds later dayne entered the class and Ms.Cooks stopped him.

"Late also Matthews,here have your detention slip so Ms.Baxter won't feel too bored."

"What do you mean."he questioned and I looked at his confused expression we are going to be in detention together hilarious!

"You and Baxter came late and so you both get detention now move along now,where was I."Dayne muttered something he went to sit behind me and after a few minutes he stabbed me with his pen.

"Ouch...That hurt!"I said turning back.

"It was meant to."he said with a smirk on his face.

"What was that for."I asked still rubbing my back.

"See I don't know why you got detention you planned it right you are really living up to your name of being a flirt."he said with a smirk on his face,I was shocked I didn't know that was how he thought about me or maybe I thought he wouldn't believe those things I was disappointed.

"Excuse me!I never thought that how you thought of me am so disappointed."I shaked my head and forced myself not to cry at least not in his presence.

"Glad you are,how did you want me to think of you before,you accepted to go on a date with someone else boyfriend while you had yours I mean you are a......slut yeah that defines it slut."he spat and I faced front and proccesed all what he said to me.

You are a slut....slut.

Am I really a slut,I rushed out of the class to the school's bathroom to and tears came out freely I was hurt to hear the way he thought of me and couldn't believe it.

Am such a fool, such a fool,I was stupid to believe he was different what made him different I should have known since the day he humiliated me in the cafeteria I should have known but I was such a fool to tell his true colours.

You are a slut...yeah that defines it slut.
