(A+) Checkmate Part 1 [Edited Version]

Chapter 26 - A choice really hard to make

“Like, like, you know what I meant” she said while laughing

“Oh I get it now, I wasn't even thinking it like this, but why not both, I'm sure you're certainly going to ask for more, for this one” I stated

Darcy POV….

Then we're all started laughing. This moment right there reminded me of someone for our first date he did the same thing, trying to make me jealous.

Flashbacks…

The server “nothing else?“

“the only thing I want now is you, but unfortunately, I don't think I saw you on the menu” Says Brayden

“No you are right, I am not in that menu but in a very special one…I think I can fix that for you” replied the server”

“Sure, another question. Do you think I'm shy?“ Asked Brayden

“No you are definitely not,  I don't think a shy young man would have pulled something like that in front of his girlfriend”

The server continues by asking me this “you don't seem jealous, do you?“

“No I'm not, and he is also not my boyfriend, but it's actually our first date. He is just trying to impress me” I exclaimed

“Okay, but I found that too risky anyway. By the way, good line…if you weren't joking or on a date, I would probably fall for it”

“but you did fall, didn't you?“ Sighed Brayden

“Yes, a little bit”

We're all started laughing.

“Good to see you can take a joke because if it was someone else, they would have probably kicked me out by now” He exclaimed

“No I don't think so cause you are…you know what I said enough for tonight, and I don't want your future girlfriend to murder me and be mad at you after. Thanks for the compliment, by the way”

“No I can take a joke too” I replied

And we start to laugh again.

POV… NOW WE ARE BACK TO THE REAL WORLD.

“Is your girlfriend jealous, i hope not cause obviously we were joking”

“No no it's totally fine, plus I'm not his girlfriend” I responded

“Yeah, yeah”

“we are just friends.”

“We are just friends.” He repeated

“Plus I laughed at the joke, didn't I ?“

“Yes you did. Aight then, I'm definitely down for both!!” the server replied

“At what time does your shift end tonight?“ He asked

“10PM”

“Okay, I'll pass by to get you at 10PM”

“Deal!”

“Pardon me, I didn't catch your name?“

“Pelligrine,”

“See you later Pelligrine!”

After we done paying our bills and we are heading outside he say “ Hey, I know that you aren't really fan of me right now but listen as soon as we got outside there's going to be a lot of Paparazzi are you ready for this? Or else we can always find a shortcut”

“yes I am ready, and why shouldn't I be a fan of you? You were trying to impress me. I really enjoyed it!!”

“Mission accomplished then,”

Then I smiled And continue “but you didn't mean cooking, like cooking, did you?"

He smirks and reply "Well, I can cook to save myself, but I'm sucks at it. Believe me, so to respond at your question, no."

And we start to laugh.

One Paparazzi “Darci who kidnapped you? Did you see their faces?“

Another one “was it really black face? And who saves you?“

And I respond to that “ He did, he save me”

Another one “who is he? Are you guys together?“

Another one “Did you and Brayden really broke up”

Elliott POV…

When we got home, she jumped on me and started to kiss me. Well, I just follow the flow since that's what I wanted.

Finally, a dream come true.

We started by breaking everything we found. In our way, while she started undressing me, taking off my shirt, I did the same by taking off her shirt and started to kiss her again.

Kissing her neck while she was looking at the ceilings, then a second later, she closed her eyes and le me in control.

She didn't take time to begin to touch me, my chest sliding through my abs, and then things began to move quickly. She began to unzip my pants.

She did take it off, and right after I took off her skirt, I started to slide my hand down on what was hidden under this beautiful yellow panty.

And all of sudden, she stopped my hand from going any deeper.

“What?“

“Sorry, I can't do this” she stated

“What do you mean, you can't do this?“ I asked, being confused as hell, and she did not answer me. But I know exactly what was going on. But I still ask to make sure.

“It's still about him, isn't it?“

“Sorry Elliott, I do like you but…”

And I interrupt her” but, but, but there Is always a but”

I take off my t-shirt on the floor, and I add “I understand, Darcy, take all the time you want. I'm not forcing you…but sooner or later, you have to make up your mind and make a choice”

I headed to the door to get outside then turn my head to look at her one last time before I leave then I continue “Remember the choice is yours and only yours to make, no one will do it for you”

“Where are you going?“

“I finally remembered that I got a date to attempt tonight, so why make her wait?"

“I thought it was a joke”

“It was until now”

Then I left while I was leaving. I turned my head once again, and I saw her collapse on the floor.
