Chapter 34 - Chapter 31: When Thoughts Betray You

Sorry readers,

I was not feeling well for some days but I'm okay now .

hope you enjoy this chapter and incoming once.

Jay-Jay POV

We were just about to reach the parking lot when my eyes betrayed me.

I stopped.

Like—full stop.

There she was.

Chan.

Walking toward us like unfinished business with legs.

My brain screamed: Oh wow. Revenge DLC unlocked.

I noticed Yuri had stopped running and switched to walking, like a man who suddenly realized this drama was above his pay grade. I casually turned and started heading toward the other road, pretending I absolutely knew where I was going.

"Where are you going?" Yuri asked.

"To see someone," I replied, smooth like butter because i just hit a jackpot.

I walked straight toward the person ahead.

Andrew.

Oh.

So today was just everyone i want to see day.

Chan came closer, then suddenly stopped when she saw him.

Andrew blinked like he'd just spotted a rare Pokémon.

"Chantelle. Finally. I've found you. I need to talk."

Yuri finally reached us and, because he's Yuri, he added,

"Oh, this is going to be nice."

I nodded.

Yes. Nice.

Like a car crash—you can't look away.

Andrew suggested, "Can we go to a restaurant and talk?"

Chan hesitated… then agreed.

And just like that, they walked off together.

I stood there watching until they disappeared, my inner narrator already writing dramatic background music.

Then a voice whispered near my ear,

"You wanna see him?"

I answered without thinking,

"Very much. miss K very much."

My brain: WHY did you say that out loud??

"What about a kiss from him?" the voice teased.

"Yeah," I replied.

A peck landed on my cheek.

I turned.

Keifer.

Standing right beside me like he had always been there.

I looked around.

Keifer.

Ci-N.

Yuri.

All of them.

Ci-N squinted at me. "What have you been thinking about for the past two minutes?"

Keifer nodded. "True."

Yuri nodded too.

Excuse me?? Was there a meeting while I was gone??

"If you weren't thinking," Keifer added, "you wouldn't have answered questions like...."

Ci-N smirked. "A robot in control."

I stared at them.

Yuri tilted his head. "So… what were you thinking about?"

Keifer immediately said, "Obviously me."

I scoffed. "In your dreams."

His phone rang.

Ci-N picked it up, listened, cut the call, then leaned in and whispered something into Keifer's ear.

Keifer nodded. "Done."

Then he turned to me.

"Would you come along?"

"Where?" I asked.

"Sienna's house."

My brain paused.

Oh.

Sienna.

The girl he was paired with.

Ci-N jumped in, enjoying himself way too much.

"So you want to see your man alone with another girl for three—no, four hours? Actually, a night and a morning?"

I narrowed my eyes. "That's why you're there."

Keifer quickly added, "But I want you to come."

…annoyingly effective.

"Okay," I said.

Yuri blinked. "So how are you getting there?"

Ci-N shrugged. "Sienna sent the location. Thirty-minute drive."

My inner thought sighed dramatically:

Great. Road trip. . Pending chaos.

What could possibly go wrong?
