Semua Bab Chasing Poisonous: Bab 41 - Bab 50

"Yes... go back to him..." He says looking at me as he loses his footing again. Drunk Christopher looks really strange. He never came back home like this ever. I have never seen this side of him before. This is the very first time I am seeing him drunk, and it's really amusing to witness how different he is from his sober self.I place my hand behind his back. Not paying any attention to what he is saying, I guide him towards the couch. I make him lean against the couch and run towards the kitchen to get water. Without wasting a second, I come back with a glass of water."Here, drink it. You will feel better." I say handing him the glass.He scowls at me, but when I narrow my eyes at him, he eventually takes it and drinks. I then keep the glass on the table and help him get to his room."I don't need your help..." He whines as he pulls his hand away from my shoulder again."Shut up!" I tell angrily, losing my patience. Enough of his childish behavior. He looks at me in shock, taken ab

ChristopherSometimes when your day starts on a pleasant note, it fills you with positivity, which makes you believe that your next 24 hours are going to be absolutely marvelous. That's how I am feeling today, after having a nice conversation with Nicole in the morning. Okay, I would be lying if I said Nicole talked. As usual, I was the one who was chattering and she just let out a word here and there. But the good part was at least she was smiling, unlike the previous times where she used to snap at me for everything I asked or just gave me a ridiculous scowl in response. We had breakfast together in the morning, which she made for us. It's such a nice gesture that she does that every day, even after telling her that she doesn't have to do it. I have been on my own for such a long time, so I had eventually learned to cook. It's like a basic necessity and apart from that, I have heard that women are more attracted to men who have good culinary skills. So that serves as an advantage.

The alarm beeps wildly beside me, interrupting my heavenly sweet sleep. I groan in displeasure and without opening my eyes reach for the nightstand to switch it off. When I grab hold of the alarm clock, I realize that it's already off. Then where the hell is the sound coming from? I squint in irritation with the bright sun rays falling over me and look around to find the source of the noise. I move my head a bit and realize that it's coming from my phone. It's my phone which is sounding loud lying on the other end of the nightstand.Who the hell is calling so early? I don't know about others, but for me, early morning sleep is very precious. I can't afford to let go of it. So I sunk into the pillow, ignoring the call. I close my eyes as drowsiness takes over my lazy ass. Fuck! I get back to the dream which I left halfway. I was having an amazing dream. A dream about kissing Christopher. Yes, I was kissing him and luckily he was kissing me back. This kiss was so different, nowhere clos

After leaving the house, I stormed straight to my clinic. My mind is literally fucked up now, and the reason behind it is no one else but freaking me. I surely can not understand what the hell I have been doing? I again kissed Christopher!! What the actual fuck? Did I kiss Christopher freaking two times? And shockingly, the second one was much less to be called as only a kiss. We were just moments away from dry humping. Fuck! I feel like I have committed the biggest blunder of my life. Shit! Is this seriously your way of showing self-control, Nicole? If it is so, then you are coming out of it like a perfect idiot. How stupid it was of you to think that kissing someone would show that you are not attracted to them? How the hell it explains that you have great self-control? Your plan was total bullshit, Nicole! I thought that I was winning this game, but it looks like I am far away from it. Hell! I am not winning instead I am fucking up everything. Right now, I feel like slapping mysel

I take a deep breath and look into his eyes confidently. "But that's not the reason why I was avoiding you. I just wanted to give you space. I know you like me and spending time with you will be like raising your hopes about us getting together." He stares back at me as I continue. "You are my friend, Sam, and I don't want to hurt you. I respect your emotions, but I wanted to give you time so you can move on from the feelings you have for me.""I know Nikki. I realized that later." He says giving me a small smile. "I hope you are not disappointed with me."I move closer to him and place my hands over his shoulder. "No, Sam. You didn't disappoint me. You are my sweetest friend and no one can take that place, you know that." I smile, trying to lighten the mood."It means you forgave me?" He says with an expectant shine in his eyes as he waits for my reply."You didn't do anything to be forgiven for so stop saying that." I laugh and his smile brightens. God! I missed his smiling face so
