Stringed

Chapter 28: Another Love Story (Part 1)

 She looked troubled as she told me what happened during our little prank with the boys earlier.

“Sherlin, do you think he meant it?” she frowned and her shoulders slumped, “I mean, he knows that I like him.”

Mia told me that during that time she took Todd to pull out the ‘play’ Todd ending up telling her, “I love you.”

I crossed my arms and thought for a while, “Well its either he’s saying the truth or he’s just messing with you.”

She nodded, “That’s what I thought too,” she looked so troubled.

I tapped her on the shoulder, “Don’t worry I’ll come up with something for you tomorrow, just leave it all to me,” she smiled up to me.

“Really?” she sounded so happy.

I nodded, “I also have a special friend who’s an expert when it comes to these things,” I grinned.

She laughed heartily, “I trust you Sherlin, thank you, really,” she hugged me tightly and I gave her a gentle tap on the back.

Trust me. Those words ran through me like a repeated line.

“You better go and sleep, it’s been a long night,” I said and she nodded.

“Goodnight… er I mean goodmorning,” she laughed and left.

I grinned it was already around one a.m. after all.

I stretched out my arms and then I heard a knock.

Did she forget something?

“What is it?” I asked.

“Can we talk?” that voice, Eric?

“The door’s open,” I mumbled and the door swung open, he went right in with a pout on his face, but it was obvious he was trying to hide his smile.

I raised an eyebrow, “What do you want? It’s already one in the morning.”

He shut the door behind him and sat beside me on the bed, “I just wanted to check on you.”

“Why?”

He shrugged, “Beats me, sometimes I just think of you and want to see you immediately,” he smiled kindly.

I smacked him on the head, “Get some sleep, you’re losing your common sense or whatsoever.”

He laughed and looked at me, “You know, I was about to lose myself back there,” he said in a silky voice.

I blinked, “Perverted freak.”

He chuckled and grinned grimly and without warning he pushed me down on the bed, “I love you Kate and I will do whatever you want,” he caressed my face.

I grinned, “Fine, help me on this one.”

He blinked, “Hmm… What?” he tilted his head to the side.

“First get off me before I kick you right on the balls,” I said sternly which made him laugh and he got off me.

I explained everything to him, even the plan I just thought about a minute ago.

He nodded and smiled, “Well I think that would work.”

“They’re stringed aren’t they?” I said seeing the reassuring smile on his face when he agreed to my little plan.

He nodded and smiled, “You believe me now?”

“No,” I retorted.

He laughed, “Whatever you say,” then he blushed, “Hey Kate…”
