Girl Next Door ✔️

Chapter 19

How did I break such an important rule?

Now I'll never be able to look at Cole as a friend. I didn't want to lose him. I am such a moron. Why did I drink so much?

"Why are you crying?" Cole asked me when he successfully removed my hands from my face.

"I'm not crying," I stated, looking outside the window in my room.

"And I'm pregnant." He stated, causing me to snap my head to his direction.

"What?" Is he really-

"I thought we were saying things which aren't true." He explained before I could complete my absurd thought. I swear I was going nuts.

"I'm not lying," I stated, looking at my manicured nails.

"Look at me." He said, and I simply shook my head, giving him a negative answer.

He gently grabbed my chin and made me look at him. And then he used his other hand to wipe away a tear that leaked from my eyes.

"Now answer me honestly, why are you crying?" He asked, more carefully this time.

"I-I made a big mistake Cole, a big mistake. I broke a rule which my best friend Tyler made. I am so stupid." I said, not wanting to look at him in the eye.

"As much as I agree that you're stupid, I also want to know what rule are you talking about?" He asked, giving me a small smirk.

I fought the urge to roll my eyes. At such a serious situation, he still wants to joke. He is so unbearable.

"You won't understand." I sniffed, trying to control my tears, but they kept flowing.

"Of course I won't if you don't tell me. Please, you can share anything with me." He said, sincerely. There was something unreadable in his eyes. I looked away before I get hypnotized by his eyes again. They truly were mesmerizing.

"It's a long story," I said, not wanting to talk about it.

"We have plenty of time." He said, almost immediately.

"When I started this game--" I began but he cut me off.

"What game?" He said, he just couldn't control his curiosity.

"You know, sleeping around with any hot guy I find," I explained.

"Oh that," Cole said, his face scrunching up in a very weird way as if fucking someone was absurd. And he then avoided eye contact with me.

Seriously, how could he act like that? He is a damn player himself. Bloody Jerk.

"Anyways continue." He said, looking back at my face. I rolled my eyes at him.

"So, when I and my best friend Tyler started fucking people around us, we made a vow to never ever fuck a friend or each other to be precise," I said and waited for a reaction from Cole.

"So what does it have to do with us now?" He asked as if it was a very obvious question.

"Are you seriously asking that? I mean don't you think of me as your friend? Or am I getting wrong signs for weeks?" I couldn't help but snap at him.

"Do you even need to ask that? Of course, we are friends. But why is our friendship bothering you so much that you're crying?" He asked, carefully, trying not to make me angry but he failed.

How could anyone be so thick-headed? Dumbass.

I took a deep breath. I won't snap at him. I won't.
