chapter 10

"So tell me about yourself " he tells me looking into my eyes and for the first time ever I think about the possibility that Chris might actually like me but I quickly push that thought at the back mind. "Are you making this a date kinda thing or what ? I tease.

" I mean if you are open to the idea than I guess why not ?"he says and gives me a smirk ."You are so annoying can you just for a moment try to not make everything non platonic"

"okay fine , I sorry we are just friends and this is all to make you feel better which i am sure by the way is working out quite fine"

"I am obviously a university student as you know and I m like 19years of age and I live in a pretty small dorm room on campus. I don't have any friends currently.

" You are really unbelievable",I say and laugh a little.

"I use to live with my dad in high school because apparently my mom didn't that she was tie down to the responsibility of taking care of a kid and she was pretty young , so she wanted to live the life of a youngster instead. So she walked out on me and my dad and a few years down the line , she got married to some dentist guy and had kids with him. That's all on me , what about you ?

" That's a pretty rough one ,I 'm sorry your on did that to you . For me totally opposite story but with a tragic ending just like all love stories ".

" Yay , I love tragic stories , joking go on"

"So as I was saying totally opposite story ,my mom and dad got married in like , university apparently they say knew from the moment they met each other that the other was the one .So my dad was forced to drop out of uni to take over the family business . So he had no choice but to so as was told because my grandad was gonna stop supporting him so he did it. he couldn't leave cause they were in love so they decided to get married. She had to like go and live with him and fast forward 21years later they hate each others guts even though they are still married they want everyone to think they are lives ever. Sometimes my mom won't sit at the dinner table because my dad is present .They constantly fight and are always on each others case.

" Wow and I though my life was full of drama no offence. I'm sorry I hope you don't take it the wrong way I didn't mean for that to sound mean.

"Oh no taken don't worry I don't really care , so its fine ", he replies while sipping his coke.

" So , if you don't most and me asking how deal you like deal or cope with that".

"I went to parties ,got drunk did a whole love t of drugs and slept around with random girls , I guess I used it a way to feel on numb because of all the pain it made me feel ", he says looking far out into the ocean as if he is know something is coming.

" So basically what you do now on a , I'm guessing daily basis"

"So is that what you think of me that I get high and drunk everyday , I'm sorry you'll be disappointed to know that its not no a daily basis some days on weekdays and weekend .Sweetheart heart i am truly deeply hurt ,i knew that you a thought so lowly of me but not this much. He says while giving me one of his infamous smirk again , his sadness all long gone." So whats the deal between you and Connor of o lay ask ?".

"Why would you like to know so much because me and him are just friends. l stumbled upon him when I was getting food at night and well he gave me a ride home because it was pretty dark and stuff".

" I know he is my friend and stuff and it wouldn't make sense if I told you this but he is not too much of the person you think he is so just stay away from him you know for your own good . "I am saying this as your friend who cares about you and who's tryna look out for you ", He say giving me a look I can't decipher at all , I'm not sure if its a caring look or love.

"And why are you saying all this may , I ask what has he done for you to be saying such stuff about him" I say feeling puzzled about whole situation and a bit suspicious.

"I'd rather not say anything the only thing I can tell you is to be careful. So on another note don't you just like the sound of the ocean waves and the serene peace of the night air sometimes it just takes me somewhere else you know what I mean ".He closes his eyes and you can really tell that the whole athomoshere is really making him feel at peace ." Ya I think l know what you mean ,i feel the exact same way about certain things ". I say and that is when I realize that he is giving me certain look that think I know all too well .I don't think I should jump to conclusions her maybe its all in my head .

"i think we should head home , we've had a lot of fun though so let's pack up and go . We pick everything up and head over to his car. He puts everything at the back of the car and gets in .

" So are you going to drop me off at the uni ?" I ask him .

" No actually I have another place in mind you know " he says giving me a wink .

" So where is it ,where we are going please tell I wanna know I can't handle the suspense " .

" Then sweetheart you just have to wait if you want to know " he says and winks at me .
