I'm Only A Fool For You [Kai Havertz]

• C h a p t e r 4

POV: Aurelia

We stop in front of a big house, no, a big mansion. I didn't know Claire had rich friends. "So this is it" She confirms that this is where we should be as she unbuckles her seatbelt and I do the same. I hesitantly get out of the car and follow Claire to the front door.

"I didn't know you had such rich friends. In fact, I didn't even know you had any friends besides me" I joke and she gives me a deadly look. 

"Well, there's a lot you don't know and the reason for this party is one of them." Sticking out her tongue, she starts to step forward, but almost slips again, and I try not to laugh, as that would probably make her angry. I think pebbles aren't really her best friends...

Once we reach the door, nerves begin to set in, but when I look at Claire, I see that she's even more nervous than I am. What could be the good news?

With trembling hands, my best friend rings the doorbell; after a few shouts from inside, the door opens and we are met by a boy with curly brown hair and a red cup in his right hand, probably alcohol.

"Hello ladies, come in!" Exclaims the man in delight with an audible American accent. A light beard frames his face while his squinted eyes radiate mirth.

"Thank you, Christian" Claire kindly replies after he opened the door and gestured with his arms to come in.

Who is that and why does she know him? This is confusing. Once inside and the door has been closed, I'm met with the awful smell of sweating people and alcohol. Definitely not my favourite. 

The same Christian dude then shouts "Timo, she's here!"

Jeez how many people are here? It seems like a madhouse. I squirm as some people bump into us and I do my best not to look irritated. "Okay, I'll be right there, just a sec" Yells back a man called Timo, if I am correct. I can't really follow what's happening.

Cringing my face in the direction of a couple kissing-no-eating each other, in the corridor, I snap my head towards a blonde boy jogging towards us.

"Hey princess, you look really lovely" He observes, looking at Claire admiringly. She blushes furiously and moves closer to him.

What in the world is happening?

My mouth falls open in shock when he gives her a hug and a kiss on the lips. Wait, wait what?! Forget that chapter. I have missed a whole book.

So she has a boyfriend and she didn't tell me. I'm really stupid, I could have known. I should have trusted my gut feeling. My thoughts are interrupted when the sound of my best friend echoes through my head.

"This is Timo... he's my boyfriend." Her hands fidget nervously as she patiently waits for my answer. A faint pink colour covers her cheeks as she seems so in love.

"I... didn't see that coming, but congratulations? I'm so happy for you" I run over to give her a hug. She sighs in relief and gives me a wide smile. After hugging her I turn to Timo.

"If you break her heart I will make sure you get what you deserve" I threaten him jokingly while pointing a finger at him, even though he's taller than me.

"I won't break her heart, I promise" Breathing out a laugh, he wraps an arm around her and pulls her closer as Claire is hiding her flustered face in his side.

"Good" An approved look coats my face and I grin at the cute-looking couple. I wouldn't want Claire to have another heartbreak. She's already had the most worthless boyfriends on earth, this time she deserves the best, even more than that.
