CHAPTER XVII

Lyrinx POV

When I got out from Chris office my heart is beating so so fast, I'm kind of surprised that my ribs are still fine. I fixed my clothes and my hair.

"What happened to you?" Keegan asked when he saw me then they all look at me.

"Uhmm nothing, why?" I asked nervous.

"What's that on your neck?" Ashley said and she inspected it. "Is that a hickey!?" She whispered-yelled and they all smirk at me, Sam is here as well and I blush.

"It's not." I said and trying to cover it with my hands.

"It is a hickey, what did you guys do, huh? Did you gave him your virginity?" Lily questioned and I look at her wide eyes.

"Of course not." I said while blushing.

"Then what did you both do, and why is there a hickey on your neck?" Grayson asked.

"Uhmm we didn't do anything." I replied.

"Lyrinx." He said a bit sternly.

"Uhmm we just uhmm made out a little." I said looking down and I heard the girls squeal.

"I knew it." Sam said.

"If you knew it then why would you asked?" I whined, blushing, I'm blushing more often than usual these few days.

"We want to hear it from you." Said by Ava.

"You're all mean." I said then pouted.

"Oh you guys are staying over at my place right?" I asked.

"Do we have a choice?" Keegan asked.

"Of course none." I replied then we all laughed.

The rest of my day went great, we all eat at the café for dinner, yeah we know that it's not a proper dinner but it's still a food, we decided to go home when the sun was going down, when we stepped inside my house we settle down on the sofa and do a movie marathon with popcorn and some other snacks.

When the movie finished we decided to sleep since it's already late. Keegan and Sam is on the sofa, while Grayson and Ava is cuddling down here on the floor, we put blankets on the floor and I was in the between of Lily and Ashley and we all drifted off to sleep.

I was the first one to wake up so I do my morning routine first then I cooked breakfast, today I will be working again. After I cooked our breakfast I made my way to the living room and wake them up.

"Hey, guys the breakfast is ready, it's time to get up." I said and they all sat up their eyes are still close and I let out a chuckles.

After they finish they're breakfast they all went back to their home while me and Sam goes to work, Sam has some clothes of his here. After we both got ready for work we left my house and Sam drives for work, how I wish I can drive but sadly I can't, every time I went for a school that teaches how to drive my grades are always fail, so I gave up.

"Where is Uncle and Auntie, btw?" Sam asked.

"They're out of the country doing work for a week." I answered and he just hummed.

"So? what's your relationship with Chris?" He asked, he's teasing me again.

"We're not in a relationship, I don't know if he likes me or not." I replied.

"Of course he is, he won't kiss you and left some marks on your neck if he doesn't." He answered while glancing at me but he put his attention on the road again after a couple of seconds.

"Of course he's not, he's my boss, a billionaire I bet many girls are chasing him even boys too." I answered sadly.

"Hey hey, if you love someone it doesn't matter if he's poor, rich, billionaire or not, handsome or not." He said cheering me up then I smiled at him.

"You're right, thank you." I responded.

When we arrived at the café the door is already open, so it means Chris is here, when we stepped inside of the store my jaw dropped on the floor, Chris...Chris is kissing a girl, I felt my tears are threatening to fall but I blinked it away. Chris pulled away and look at me with wide eyes.

"Good morning, Sir." I greeted them before going to the locker room and change my clothes, I don't want to work today, I feel suddenly lazy and my heart hurts like someone is pinching it. Sam walk in the locker and ask me if I'm okay.

"Are you okay?" Sam asked and I just nod then give him a weak smile.

"I am, don't worry, I told you he doesn't like me." I said then go out, Chris and the girl isn't there anymore, maybe they go somewhere else so no one will disturb them.

I change the sign from 'close' to 'open' and I go to the counter to get my mini pad and ballpen. I saw Chris walking towards me, it's kind of shocking I thought he went out with that girl, but before he arrived at my spot the bell rings sign that someone walks in.

I stand up and went to them, the little girl, Chelsea, came again and my mood slightly became better.

"Hello, little Chelsea." I greeted her.

"Hello pinkie." She replied back, she calls me pinkie because of my hair and she said that my name is hard to pronounce by her.

"What do you like for today?" I asked and tapped her nose and she giggled.

"Hot chocolate and strawberry cake." She said and I wrote it at my mini pad, I glance at her mother, take her order as well.

"Your order will be there for a couple of minutes." I said.

"Thank you, pinkie." She replied cutely.

"You're welcome little Chelsea." I replied before giving the order to Sam, he looked at me sadly and I send a smile but this time a little better.

"Are you sure that you're okay? If you're not, you can go home and take a rest." He said.

"I'm okay and I don't want to go home I will be alone in there again and I already take a rest yesterday, remember?" I answered then smile.

The costumers continue to arrived, it's great that my work is keeping my mind full and not think about the scenario earlier.

The day went a little better, I don't see Chris, so I guess he left the moment I spoke with Chelsea, it's good because I don't want to see him today after I witnessed that, I know we're not together but I can be jealous right? Because I have atleast a feelings for him.

When the day is over I went home, Sam didn't give me ride because he said he needs to pick up Keegan from the mall so I decided to take a bus. So here I am right now sitting inside the bus, it's not full but the seats are all unavailable, when I saw a little boy with her Mom standing beside me, I can't ignore him, so I stood up and put the little boy on the seat and I'm the one who stand up.

"Thank you, Mister." The little boy and gives me a smile.

"You're welcome little fella." I replied and gives him a sweet smile.

When the bus stop I get out and walk towards my home. The sun was about to go down so I should walk faster before it gets dark. Thankfully that I arrived at home before it gets dark, I'm a bit hungry so I cook for my own dinner.

I just cooked a fried chicken and rice. After I eat I wash the plates that I've used. I text my friends if they can come but they said they aren't because they have something else to do, but I don't get mad at them because sometimes I have something else to do too. So I was kind of shocked when I heard a knock from the front door. I opened it.

"Guys, I thought you----" I cut myself off when I saw Chris standing outside, I was about to close the door but he push the door open gently, then he stepped in.

"What are you do----" I didn't finish my words when Chris shut the door and pin me on it and smash his lips on mine.
