Chapter 7: I was never smart to begin with

Chapter 7 

Previously 

"One deal?"

"One deal." 

"When do I start?" 

Present 

"One 'S'mores Frappuccino', a double chocolate muffin, a blueberry muffin, and Strawberry Açai Refresher, that's it thank you."  I sat in front of Sebi, in a Starbucks booth. We would be discussing the plan:

"So what type of deal is it ?" 

" So our last deal went wrong and we need someone to seduce him, and you are the only one in the gang who ever went through this lessons with Ava, as you know Maggie can't do it and no one except you can do this, he will have to sign a contract. Please you get money. "

Not happening." 

"What is not happening ?" 

"The getting money part ." 

" Fine, are you gonna help?" 

"Mehhh" I was just messing around, but he clearly thought I was for real. So I went with the flow.

He had on his puppy eyes that made him look so cute, but I would never admit it of course, and against my will, I burst into laughter.

"You look--- like.......like you ate an ex....expired lemon" He scowled and leaned back into his seat, his face turning serious then into guilt.

"Sure let's do it." 

"Fine. One more thing. Can you...you  forgive me?" My breath hitched, I wasn't ready, not now.

"Why?" He seemed to be confused, so I elaborated." Why did you do it? Please."  I laid my hands on the table, he dropped his hands on top of mine.

"I understand that you feel hurt but I swear to you that you will know very soon. I promise, just don't forget that I never stopped loving you, maybe not as my girlfriend but as my longest female friend and my family. So please forgive me, I beg you, pl-please."

I sniffed, I knew what I was gonna say to him was gonna be harsh but it doesn't work that easily. And I can't hide it that it hurt, I might be able to forgive later on but I can't say I'll forget.

"You have to give me time, it will take some time, please." My eyes glistened with unshed tears, I haven't cried about this matter, I always told myself not to cry over them. 

"How is your Mom?" He broke my trance," did you tell her?" 

"No" We fell into silence, I never told her that Ava died with a gun in her hand, I couldn't tell her that we were part of a gang. I couldn't tell her, she was devastated after the incident, she went into depression, I just couldn't. If she found out she would be so disappointed in both of us, me mostly. I don't know what Ava would do in this situation, I have to keep my sisters image, I owe her that at least.

"You have to tell her "

"NO, this isn't your desi-

"It isn't but we both know what happened at least tell her little. Fo-" 
"No" 

I wasn't gonna argue with him about this, anytime soon. Ding.

He pulled out his phone and got up.

"I have to go.....," I got up too, " Ummm.. can I get a hug?" 

I was reluctant at first but eventually, I gave in, he wrapped his hands around me, while I wrapped my hands around his neck. Not intimate but friendly.

"Text me when you get home please, I know you can take care but please?" 

"Sure." 

He pulled back and left Starbucks in a hurry, I sat in the booth and drank my drink, as someone decided to sit in front of me. Where Sebi had been sitting not so long ago, I raised my head and choked on my drink immediately.

"I'm going to assume that you are laughing because of my hotness."

Jason sat in front of me with a smug look on his face, he leaned closer and brought his face close to mine, I leaned back trying to avoid him.

His facial expression changing as if he remembered something important. 

"Who was that guy from before." Ship.

" I have no idea what you are talking about." 

"Don't act dumb." 
"I was never smart, to begin with." I retorted.

He looked unfazed by my smart reply.

 "You guys looked really cozy, like long lost friends or perhaps exes." Excuse, excuse think think think.....

" Impossible, I barely know the guy he only helped me out with a few things I bought. And besides, I haven't dated anyone before Blake." 

Lies, Lies, and Lies.

"ahh, you and Sebastian looked like long lost lovers." Smart dude, but I am smarter. Wait... how did he know his name. I squinted my eyes and boring holes into him.

" How do you know him?" He looked flustered for a second and dug out his phone, which was really ringing. 

"Look someone is calling I'll have to talk with them it's important." He turned his head from me, "What do you want?" His attitude changed so fast from caring 'brother' to cold ass.

He had always been a cold arrogant dude, his two other friends were just as bad as him, they played the girls and threw them away just like used tissues. Although he was cold towards so many people there were very few times I had encountered nice him, like at the studio that way he had comforted me. The first time we met I had insulted him... Good old days, but he had never insulted me...
Why? Still a mystery. 

I blinked as I saw Jason trying to grab my attention.

"What?" It came out more harsh than intended. Oh well... nothing I can do.

"No need to be rude. Anyways I gotta go, do you want a ride?" 

I was about to reject his offer when I remembered that I didn't bring my ride with me, I left it at the park.

"Sure" I got up from my seat while he looked me over. His eyes trailed down my body, desire as clear as the sun shining in his eyes. Idiot.

"What are you wearing? I'm not complaining, but isn't it a little too revealing for someone in a relationship?" 

I ignored his comment and left towards his car - at least I think it's his car. 

"Wrong. Further to the front." I walked to the front a bit yet I  didn't see any single car ....only bikes. I smirked knowing that he would think that I might be scared to death. He walked towards a midnight black bike that I had seen in a few ads. These were really expensive, he hopped unto it and turned his body to me. His facial expression was nothing but smug.

"You might be scared, but don't worry I'm here." 

Not many people knew that I had a Bike, not even Blake, just Queen and Cynthia, and my family. It would seem way too weird for the pretty normal girl to be driving bikes in school. 

"Don't worry I will be fine." 

He shrugged and gave me a helmet. "Can you drop me off at the park close to the Mall about 15min away?" 

" Why?" 

"Because." He nodded.

"Hold on tight." 
"No need." 
"It won't kill you, except you do want to die." 
"I'm fine just drive."

"K"

He took off at the slowest speed ever, with the age of 16 I was driving faster.
"FASTER" 

He glanced back at me and rolled his eyes.

"LET'S HOPE YOU DON'T REGRET THIS!"
