Chapter 17
Mike laid in bed sleeping he sniffed the air. He sat up waking up looking around. Something was burning!
"Chris?" Mike called out looking over to his side to see him gone. Mike got up from the bed going to see what the smell was. Mike entered the kitchen to see Chris standing in front of stove.
"What's going on?" Mike asked Chris looked back he was blushing.
"I- was trying to cook your breakfast…" Chris informed showing Mike the pan with the burned eggs. Mike chuckled amused as he walked to him resting his hands on his waist.
"I appreciate the thought, but I would rather have you for breakfast." Mike grinned making Chris blush. He leaned in stealing a kiss.
Mike stood thinking back of peaceful times with Chris. He stood looking at his empty bed, the bedsheet was coming off the mattress. He closed his eyes not wanting to think about what he had done. He walked over pulling the sheet off his bed. Mike tried to go on about his day but how could he? He glanced over noticing the folded glasses left behind on nightstand.
Chris sat at his desk rubbing his temple. He closed his eyes putting his reading to a halt. He had lost his glasses and was without them. He leaned back in his chair stretching a moment. The doorbell rang Chris sighed hating the fact he would have to get up and answer it.
"Yes?" Chris asked annoyed opening the door. He stood a little surprised to see Jess standing on the other side of the door.
"Jess?" Chris asked.
"Here." Jess held her hand out with his glasses. Chris reached taking them.
"My glasses, where did I leave them?" Chris asked looking up at Jess who paused a moment.
"Um, the club, duh." Jess replied while making a face.
"Oh." Chris replied.
"See you around," She waved leaving Chris nodded as he closed the door. He looked down at his glasses. Why ask? He knew where they were. He bit his bottom lip he was upset but why? Why would Chris hope Mike would be the one to return him his glasses? Chris sighed making his way upstairs.
A week had passed and Chris was trying to figure out what to do. He stood in the coffee shop lost in thought.
"Your drinks." the barista smiled. Chris returned the kind smile taking the two cups. He walked back to the table where Ashley sat.
"Here." Chris handed her, her drink sitting across from him.
"I'm really happy that you called me." Ashley smiled looking up at Chris. He smiled.
"Y-yeah." He replied looking down at his coffee drink.
"C-can I ask you something? Advice maybe?" Chris asked not looking up, Ashley curled he lips in having taking a sip from her drink.
"Hm-mm!" She replied.
"A friend of mine, s-she is having boys problems." Chris explained Ashley frowned a bit. Did Chris have someone he liked? Was he going to ask her how to get her?
"Oh." Ashley replied.
"She likes these two guys and they like her back… I think." Chris added his cheeks turning a shade of red.
"She began to date one guy and… well the second guy began to date someone else. But she really does care for the guy she is dating now!" Chris added looking up at her.
"Okay."
"Well, the guy could feel she cared for him and he didn't like that, and decided to break up with her." Chris lowered his gaze clenching his fist.
"But that guy she dated… he did something…" Ashley tilted her head to the side.
"What did he do?" She asked.
"He hurt her." Chris confessed.
"But she had it coming. She was playing with their hearts, she's a terrible person who deserves to be alone in the world…" Ashley sighed placing her hand over his rubbing her thumb.
"I don't think so, she just fell in love with two people. If anyone was in pain the most it was her." Ashley replied Chris looked up at her wide eye.
"Love is a funny thing, it can be a wonderful feeling or it can be the worst feeling in the world." She explained.
"But that is love for you, you can't have it without that second feeling being in there."
"W-what should my friend do?" Chris asked.
"She should just listen to what her heart says." Ashley replied.
"My heart…?" Chris asked.
"What?"
"Her heart!" Chris corrected with a nervous laugh. Chris smiled he was feeling a lot better he overlapped his hand over Ashley's.
"Thank you!" Chris stood up leaving Ashley sat watching him. She sighed watching him walk out the door.
"Did I just give advice to the guy I like to get with another girl?" Ashley wondered.
