Fall in love

ASTRID’s POVHe kept staring at me because he knew that I was curious.

What the hell?She rolled her eyes and then gulped down a glass of water.I tried avoiding her eyes, but I knew that they were up to no good.

MATEO's POVWhen we got home I told Lisa to go to the room while I quickly went to Michael's room. "Hey, man.. Michael. Where the fuck are you?"I screamed and he came out from the kitchen."What the fuck man? Why are you screaming like a woman in distress? What is going on?""Well, you know I am in distress.""What, why?"We went to his room and sat down on his bed."You were right when you said Ethan owns a casino, fuck he does.""Told you man, and I tell you one more thing, he has more shady hidden things, and I know that for a fact.
