Ever Since My Eyes Captured You ( Under Editing )

Chapter Five - Break the rule

Christine's pov :

" hey sweetheart " Amy's boyfriend said as he stood up to hug her , she was all red from blushing , I smiled widely at them , they looked so cute together " um Christine this is my boyfriend Marcus " she said as he stretched his hand out for me " Marcus this is Christine , my best friend " she smiled as I shook his hand

" nice to meet you Marcus , please take care of her and you must know that if you hurt her I will bury you in your own grave alive "

" nice to meet you too Christine, and don't worry , I'll do my best to make her the happiest girl alive " he said grinning

Marcus was a very handsome man , not as handsome as John , He had brown eyes and short brown hair that was pushed back , he was pretty tall , probably six feet something yet not as tall as John but he had a muscular body just like John , with the black work suit he wore , it hugged his body so perfectly and it showed how much he probably worked out to get this shape  . Me and Amy were also tall so we didn't look tiny in front of Marcus and John " I still don't know how do you know him " Amy whispered to Marcus while glaring at John enough for the four of us to hear that  , I looked over at John to see him looking at me , we stared at each other for seconds until I realised that I shouldn't be looking at him longer than I can so I looked back at the sweet couple , Amy must have noticed my actions because she glared at John again " I didn't know you guys know each other " he started

" I'm John's personal assistant " he added , and my eyebrows rose " and his best friend " I wasn't so surprised about that because the way he went directly to John's table and sat down confirmed that they were close " but you didn't tell me that you work for him " Amy whined cutely which made Marcus chuckle " I told you I work as a personal assistant but I didn't think you knew John so I didn't tell you that I work for him " He said as she looked at me , I just blinked

" come with me " she said to Marcus and grabbed his hand and went out of the shop , I noticed that there was no one in the shop except for John and I , I swallowed nervously and turned around to find him already looking at me, i blushed and looked down

What is with you Christine! Why do you keep blushing for God's sake?

I shook my head and was about to make my way to the changing room to leave the shop when he spoke " where are you going ? " I turned around and saw John looking at me

" home obviously " I said in a duh tone and walked away " how ? "

I rolled my eyes , of course I'm gonna call a cab and go to the apartment that I'm staying at with Amelia , but i wasn't gonna tell him that " why do you care ? " I kept walking as he followed me from behind " I don't care I'm just asking " he said with a harsh voice and I felt as if my heart was stabbed with a knife

I thought he cared , even a little

" great ! And i also don't care to answer your question so enough with the questioning and mind your own business " I snapped with the same harsh tone he used earlier and went straight to the locker room to change and get my bag , I couldn't help the stray tears that escaped my eyes when I was alone , no body cared about my existence, nobody cared about me if I was alright or not .. nobody .

I chuckled at how pathetic I looked and quickly wiped my cheeks , giving myself a mental pat on the back for not wearing make up , if I did put any mascara or eyeliner I'd probably be ready to scare some kids out . I shook my head at the crazy thought I was having and exited the locker room

On my way out , I heard the bell ring as I see Amelia walk in with Marcus behind her " hey are you going home ? " she asked , I nodded " Marc here is going to drive me , do you want to come with us or do you have a ride ?" She asked motioning towards John who seemed to stare at me , I felt so uncomfortable so I shot him an annoyed look " no don't worry about me , you go and have fun with your boyfriend " I shot her a smile , she gave me shelter so the least I would ask for is her giving me a ride or to be a third wheel while she's with her boyfriend " who is going to drive you home ? "

" duh Amelia don't you think you ask many questions? Go with your boyfriend " I said and she thought then smirked evilly " impatient to go with your driver , aren't you ? " she asked wiggling her eyebrows and I laughed " just go already " I said and made my way out the coffee shop " wait aren't you going with John? " I snapped my head towards her angrily " what makes you think I will go with him ? "

She was surprised but then nodded , probably sensing my anger, I hate it when people ask me lots of questions , I know Amelia isn't like others and I know she cares about me but I wasn't in the mood to deal with anyone

John pov

I was waiting for Marcus to come , he said his girlfriend works here , but what I see is that Christine and her friend are the only people who work here , I don't know why but I don't like the feeling of Christine being with Marcus , not like there is anything wrong with him it's just that I didn't want Christine to be in any other man's arms , I wanted to be the one for her , even the thought of other man doing it made my blood boil in my veins " hey man ! " Marcus greeted as he sat down " hey "

Seconds later , Christine's friend who I suppose is Amelia came to our table holding Christine's hand who was behind her , I looked at Christine and saw her smiling " hey sweetheart " Marc said and I clenched my fists

Was he talking to Christine?

He stood up to hug his girlfriend, I inhaled deeply and looked up to see him hugging Amelia as she blushed , I sighed and my body relaxed " Christine this is my boyfriend Marcus " she said and I sighed again

What is happening to you John ?

" Marc this is Christine, my best friend " I looked at Christine , somehow Christine was like magnet to me , i couldn't look away from her , she seemed to attract me in every way possible , I wasn't the kind of man that gets attracted to any woman easily and that was a rule I followed , I'm a workaholic , I used to play around with girls , but later I got bored and made a rule to never play with girls again , because I knew that all girls want is fame that they are dating a successful CEO and also money

But what annoyed me the most was the ability of Christine to break the rule that no woman could ever break , even if she didn't show that she wanted me , maybe she didn't even like me as a friend , she didn't even serve me after that night I told her I will talk with her boss , and that is why I feel attracted to her.
