Playboy's Girl [Christian Collins]

Chapter 8: Surprises # 1

Yana just broke-up with her boyfriend just now.

"I somehow feel kinda light and relieved." Yana said and smiled

"Of course you do." I smiled back at her

"So ,how's Crawford?" Yana asked

"As usual, a jerk" Chris sighed

I kept silent because I don't know who is this Crawford guy. I am out of place

"Did Ashley met him already?" I got curious when I heard my name

"No,Never,Absolutely not,Not a chance" Chris was shaking his head while waving his hands

"Uhm, if you don't mind me asking, who exactly is Crawford?" My mouth wasn't able to stop

"You don't know him?" I shook my head as a sign of no

"Why didn't you tell Ashley?" Yana asked Chris but he just remained silent

"Crawford Collins is 's li'l bro" My eyes widened, my jaws dropped. She must be joking

"Y-you have a brother?" I aked Chris and he just nodded

"Seems like there's too much infromation I don't know about my boss' family." I said

"Seriously Ashley? He's also got an older sis and a younger sis." I got shocked even more

"Yana.." Chris said and Yana suddenly shutted her mouth

"It's alright if you don't want to tell me anything." I said

"Ashley, I have 3 siblings. Oldest is Kirsten then me, Crawford, and lastly Karisma. Kirsten is having a vacation in France with her boyfriend so you weren't able to meet her. Crawford is in a boarding school while Karisma is needed in our aunt's house. I am left here, because it's nice in here. There, I said it." Chris inhaled oxygen after explaining

"What is the age of Crawford?" That's the first question that popped into my mind

"16, why?" His eyebrows furrowed

"Great, he's my age." That wasn't suppose to be said outloud.

"What's the meaning of that Ashley?" He became confused

"Nothing.......Your highness." I wasn't able to look him in his eyes

"Ooooooohhhh, what's going on here??" Yana said with a teasing voice

There was an awkward silence between me and Chris.

Chris was coming closer to me little by little while I stepped back little by little until I hit the wall and didn't have any place to go. He locked me by placing his hands on the wall in the opposite sides of my head.

He came closer to my face. I blushed very hard and closed my eyes tight. "You're mine..remember that." He whispered into my ear.

I was in the state of shock at that moment. I wasn't able to move even though Chris already turned his back on me. My mind was in the process of absorbing what he just said. I didn't know what to think. Maybe he's just playing with me or just doing what playboys usually do, which was to flirt and make every girl feel special.

I didn't know that Yana came to me "Are you alright?" I just nodded

". What did you tell her?" Yana's voice became serious.

"The truth." As soon as I heard his answer I was in the state of shock again. I didn't move, my eyes didn't blink, my heart was pounding heart and I think it would pop out from my chest if it has the chance to but my ribcage was strong enough to control it.

It is confirmed that I like the effin playboy. This is not good.

"Ashley?" Yana's voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I came back to myself again. I saw Yana's face full of concern.

"I'm alright Yana. Chris was just goofing around, don't worry about it." I said and the smile on her face came back

"Great. Now, let's discuss on what to do at Chris's birthday." Yana sat down while I just listened. I just remembered that Chris's birthday is already tomorrow.

"You don't have to sweat it. It's nothing special." He placed his hands at the back of his head

"It is special. Right Ash?" She looked at me " Of course it is. We're talking about Chris here people." I answered

"Good. I'm gonna invite a few friends of mine and you do the same ." Chris just followed Yana and they brought out their cells and started to text people.

"Ashley, make sure to to tell the chef to bake a very big cake for 's birthday." Yana whispered to me.

I stood up and went to the kitchen.

"Excuse me sir?" I said to Mr. Campbell who was in the middle of cooking something

"Yes, young lady?" He turned around and gave me a smile

"Uhm, I want to request something, sir." I said and gave wry smile

"Sure, what is it?" He turned around and continued to cook

"It's about Chris's birthday." I said

"I already planned to make a very big cake young lady, if that's what you request." He said

"That's good to hear sir." I said

"I never forget to make a cake for Mr. . Starting from the day he was born, I always make him the best cakes." He finished cooking. He pointed the chair for me to sit and I sat on it.

"I never forget his birthday or their birthdays." He continued while I just listened

"Do you know Mr. Crawford?" He asked

"I just heard of him awhile ago. Chris said that he was his younger brother." I replied

"Oh, is that so? Then do you want to hear more about Mr. Crawford?" He asked excitedly

"I'd be happy to if that's okay with you." I said

"Of course it is. Mr. Crawford and Mr. are the best boys I've ever met in my whole entire life. Do you know why? Back when they were still kids, they always play together. Most of the times, they get in trouble. It's either because one of them was caught doing a prank or one of them was injured or hurt. Even though they know that it's the other ones fault on why they get in trouble, they always back up each other. They even almost burned the house because they tried to help me one time. They shared stories with me. As they grew older, they became more troublesome boys. When their parents knew that they were always in very serious trouble, they decided that, it's time they should be separated. They sent Mr. Crawford on a boarding school. Chris became very sad and so was I. Cellphones were banded at Mr. Crawford's school that's why, they can't communicate easily with each other, only on a weekend." Mr. Campbell sighed after story-telling

"Why did Chris called Crawford a jerk if they were very close brothers?" I asked

"It's normal for them both to call each other a jerk." He answered

Mr. Campbell continued to tell stories about the past of Crawford and Chris. I found it very interesting and very funny. I was curious if Crawford looks like his brother or maybe handsome-er?
