The Promise

Chapter 31 - ...Sure?

Chapter 31 – ...Sure?

Walking home gripping my school jacket uniform tightly around my body, the cold breeze is brushing against my bare skin sending me chills. I'm surely going to get colds. Tropical temperature easily drops at night here.

I decided to walk home to just chill myself because I feel stressed about school. Yes, I got stressed in just five days. Over thinking kills the good vibes. I sighed knowing I wouldn't be able to see Dylan for a week. Why is he always like that? I feel like something's wrong but I can't point a finger.

I shiver when I felt the cold wind touch my uncovered skin, but I still walk as fast as a snail. I checked my phone for the time and slipped it back in after I sent a quick message to my mom that I might be home late.

I sat at the sidewalk, a few blocks away from school, and watch the people and other vehicles pass by. I sighed deeply drowning into deep thoughts. First Dylan, why is always gone anyway? Then there's Nick. One thing he's nice the next thing he's a doucheball. Men, confusing as hell. Then Cassidy, why is she like that when after all Nick and her are over? And why throw her anger at me? Women, another confusing human being.

I got startled when I heard a honk in front of me. It's Chase on his car. He's also still in his school uniform. He got out and sat next to me. His cutie smile is genuine. He sat down as well and wrapped his arm around me. “It's okay Jane. I know you're confused why I'm here right now. I didn't know why I stopped my car just to sit here with you.” I raised a brow, he was still looking at the busy streets. “Okay maybe I do. I feel sad looking at you like that.”

“Like what?”

“Like a lost kitten trying to find her way home.”

“Chase I–”

“C’mon Jane. I'll take you home.”

“Chase I'm fine.”

“In case you forgot you're not in the States anymore and you being so attractive with that cute uniform, walking on this dangerous streets, you'll definitely be ra–” I glared at him, “Hey, I have a better idea!”

“What?”

“Let's go eat pizza? My treat.”

“I don't know...” I shrieked when he pulled me up and drag me to his car.

We drove up to downtown at Alberto's Pizza. A few minutes later we arrived and he ordered three party sized pizzas and a liter of coke. Is this guy trying to make me fat again? We settled outside the restaurant where the view's jaw dropping to watch.

A few minutes later, our pizzas arrived. He also ordered another batch of food, a huge pan of lasagna, and damn another favorite of mine.

“Chase why are you doing this?” I asked after I finished a few slices. Yes, I would like to know why he's doing this. it's weird.

“What do you mean?” he said a mouthful. I suppress my laugh and sip in coke. But before I could even answer he inserted, “Don't worry Janey. This isn't a date. I have just to tell you something important.”

“Okay, shoot.” I waited for him to tell me. I watched him gobble a whole pizza slice adorably, I grimace. but he's still adorbs. “Dude, I'm waiting?”

He swallowed his food then smiled, “I think you're pretty.”

I know already. Lol, Just kidding. I took another piece of pizza, “And...?”

“I think you should really go out with Nick.” he said straight to my face.

I choked. he immediately jumped off from his seat and wrapped his arms around me and is giving me a Heimlich. People's eyes were now on us. I slapped Chase's arms simultaneously to make him stop. I grabbed my glass of coke and calm myself.

“Why the heck would you do that?!” I exclaimed.

“You were choking! Of course I had to do that!”

“You're crazy! You could've at least gave me water or something first.”

He raised his index finger and hang is mouth open waiting for words to come out, “I got nothing.” he sighed in defeat and went back to his seat. “Sorry Jane. Seriously, I'm not the smartest person in this planet. And I swear I won't tell you things like that again if it makes you choke.”

“Good.”

“Why won't you? If it's okay to ask..?” he inquired eagerly. I watched his curious expression, I noticed how attractive he is. Those curly hair, his green eyes...

I snapped myself out and answered him, “I don't know, he's a jerk. I'd rather date you than date that twat.”

His face brightened, “Really?”

“No.” I replied, I saw him curse under his breath.

“But seriously Jane. He has gone crazy, trying to look for a way to hang out with you.” Chase said as he took another slice.

When he said those words my heart... my poor poor heart... my poor poor poor foolish heart.

“Why won't you give him a chance? Sure he's a jerk and all, but people change. Who knows he might change for you.” he said as he continue to munch those pizza and lasagna at the same time. Wow this guy.

And yet, I was taken a back.

Maybe... Wait, no! No! Nicholas Harvey Anderson? Like me?! I don't think so. But what if... No, heart. don't confuse yourself. Tell Chase a big fat NO.

“Umm, sure?”

WHAT DID I JUST SAY? TAKE IT BACK!

Already said and done.

Heart, please stop this stupidity.

Oh great, now I'm having inner self battles.

His spoon dropped to the plate, causing a loud clang. “What?” His eyes widened, twinkled with the Stars. it's written on his face that he could not believe what he just heard. As if those weren't me saying sure to something I knew would hurt.

“I- I said... ” Don't say it Jane, don't say it. “...sure.”

I mentally slapped myself. I hate you, heart of mine.

“Really? Well, that was easy. Finish up so we can go home I'm full and tired.” Chase said.

I stared at the pizza with mouth ajar, I still couldn't believe those words came out from my mouth. I knew I had to say no, but I didn't. I knew this will end badly but I still did it anyways. This is one heck of a recipe for disaster.

What have I gotten myself into?
