Royal Deception - Chapter 22: Chapter 22

"Was this yet another coincidence or you have a different lie to tell?" Asked Gerald as soon as Carter had left.
"Hey it was a mistake" I defended.
"Mistakes don't lead you to make out sessions with hot guys Oli you're smart enough to know that" said Kenner
"I'm just pissed you didnt tell us the truth" voiced Chloe.
"I did ! I dont like Carter" I screamed well I had mixed emotions so atleast there was some truth in that statement.
"What did I tell you?" Kenner smiled
"you owe me a thousand pounds Gerald"
"They are not yet dating so drown your ship I owe you nothing"
"No way Jose you owe me"
"Do not"
"Do too"
"I call for rock paper scissors"
"Oliver you betrayed me how could you like that boy after everything we've been through" Gerald dramatically cried. If he does not become an actor in the near future I'll be very disappointed.
"I don't like him Gerald"
"Would have been good if you felt that way before you burst in here and advertised how exactly you feel about him"
"Kenner for crying out loud I do not like him"
"Can you not , if you dont want to spill now save it for later just quit lying" Chloe stormed leaving the room , I didn't even know why SHE was upset.
I was the one being harassed here.
We all looked towards the direction where she'd left headed wondering why she seemed so pissed.
▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️
"You have really beautiful eyes" said Carter as he stared down to me.
"Thanks and you're the cutest jerk I know" I smiled.
"You make it hard to like you" he snickered
"I feel the same way about you"
"I'm easy to like"
"They all say that" I huffed
"Tell me something Oliver , have you ever dated?" He asked amused.
"No why do you ask?"
"Because I'm curious"
"Haven't you heard what curiosity did to the cat?" I said patting his shoulder.
"I'm not a cat" he replied dryly"and why have you never dated?"
"Because all guys are the same"
"That statement is over due" he laughed heartily.
"I'm serious they're just one person the only differences are that they come with different faces , different pick up lines and different times to act brutally heartless" I emphasized the last part.
"You're utterly delirious" he mocked
"And you're a sod" I yelled
"Are you busy this Friday? I got free tickets to a baseball game"
"I'm not busy but I'll pass" I said walking away.
"I'll take that as a yes" he smirked sexily "and ill pick you up around four"he continued
"In your dreams" I laughed leaving him at my workplace.

I turned for the third time trying so hard to find sleep. Scientists should probably make a theory using this information:
Why is it that whenever you're doing something school related your concentration gets overcome by sleep but during your leisure time the sleep doesn't come.
And so I wondered staring up at the ceiling huffing like a sad dog. Typical Saturday mood.
"We forgive you" said Gerald slowly as he walked towards me.
"You're disturbing my peace" I blurted
"He said he forgives you and you're acting like a bloody bugger about it what's your problem?" Asked Kenner.
"My problem?" I questioned standing up opening the door to leave before my big mouth got a good chance to practise freedom of speech.
I walked down the street leaving Kenner and Gerald alone in our studio it's not like they were thieves or anything. Absent minded I bumped into Chloe. Oh great just great another confrontation.
"Oli we need to talk" she said leading us to a bench.
"Sure Chloe" I said sitting on the dirty bench.
"I need the truth and nothing but the truth what really happened between you and Carter " she spoke softly.
"Chloe Nothing happened"
"Oliver I dont want you to get heartbroken " she paused her eyes tearing.
"What are you talking about?" I asked confused
"B-B-Boys ...they're all the s-same" and with that she burst out a bold deliberate loud cry.
Immediately I rapped my arms around her.
"What's wrong" I'd never seen Chloe cry or close to crying ever since we were kids. This was the last thing I expected.
"What's wrong answer me" I persuaded with frustration.
"H-Hen..ry" she whispered slowly tears furiously falling to her cheeks.
"What did he do" I fumed
"He broke up with me, that pig broke up with me !" She bolted releasing herself from my embrace in agony.
"I'm so stupid" she said slowly "I slept with him Oli i gave him my V-card Oli I freaking gave it to him " she sobbed as I wiped her tears.
"I loved that imbecile, I know it's stupid but I believed in that love at first sight thing the first time i saw him" she paused" and I thought it was mutual gosh I'm so stupid " she wiped her tears harshly.
"He used me like im some loose woman"
At this point I was full on crying , no like literally I was sobbing so much that if anyone saw us they'd think I was the one in Chloe's situation.
"Dont cry for me" she spoke smoothly .
"You dont deserve this" I lashed out "you're very beautiful and your personality is chaotic but appealing then...then why?" I cried out.
"I love you saint" Chlo said reuniting our arms in a safe hug.
"But I dont" i murmured which managed to make her smile.
I cant believe Henry was such a jerk.
Lesson learnt : stay away from boys.
▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️
Without breaking the kiss we made way to his bed.
"Stop" my bruised lips said stepping away from him.
Let's play a small rewind . I know I promised to stay away from boys but i never said I'd stay away if they are immortaly handsome and their name starts with a C.
So I'm currently in Carter's apartment.
"No this is not right" I said coming to my senses.
"But it feels right" he protested.
"You're so exasperating"
"And you overthink everything"
"Its not my fault you have a bird
brain" I mumbled
"I do not have a bird brain"
"Ofcourse you dont" I chimed sarcastically
"You know what maybe you're right this is not right "
"Yes it's not" I yelled
"Good" he equally yelled .
"You're so immature " I added
"I am glad you noticed now leave !" He boomed.
"No need I was already leaving !" I screamed in his face.
And I bolted to the door exiting the amazingly beautiful apartment with rage. That asshole!
