"Where are you?", Chace snapped his fingers in front of my face and I couldn't believe how causal he could act after we just had a hot make out session. I could still feel heat run to my cheeks with my heart beating so loud, while he sat beside me like nothing happened. How does he cover up his emotions so well? I can't be like him and I envy him for this.

"What just happened?", I blurted out the question in my mind as chace gave me a confused look, as if he was too oblivious of what I was asking about. Oh god! How he doesn't take this kiss like a game, because it was damn serious for me and I am not tolerating a denial from him until and unless he gives me a valid reason.

"The kiss", I clarified as I gave him an obvious look, which made him realize what I was talking about. Thank you lord!

"Did you like it?", he asked out of no where as I looked at him in shock. That was fast, although I still need to answer him, which I have not thought about yet. Did I like it? Was it just a kiss or something more? I never even took him as my love interest, maybe because I had "Hunter", but now I feel like I like Chace and since he kissed me first, maybe he likes me back too. But I can't assume things yet without asking him.

"That kiss between us accelerated quickly, I... wasn't even expecting it but it happened. I don't really know if I liked it but what about you?", I tried to throw his question back at him so that I could someone how make him tell me the truth whether he likes me or was just playing with me.

"I didn't like it, though...", he trailed off and I looked down in total embarrassment, he didn't like it because I must be a bad kisser and it surprisingly hurt me hearing those words from him,"I loved it!", he suddenly continued and I looked up at him with a frown, why did he have to refuse before then?

"I hate you!", I yelled as I pushed him by his chest and he laughed at my reaction. This guy really pisses me off and troubles me for no freaking reason,"No babe, you don't", I blushed at his use of words but then groaned at his sudden bold behavior.

"Who the hell are you calling babe?! I am not your babe", I yelled at him in anger but in reality, I wasn't angry, I had just panicked at the use of the word 'babe'. I feel like I am over reacting but it feels weird coming from him.
All his nicknames for me are against my will and liking, plus this stubborn guy calls me with them so many times that I eventually get tired of arguing with him every time he calls me with stupid names.

"Do you want to go out?", he changed the topic and offered, which I refused immediately. I don't trust him enough to take me alone somewhere because he might do something to take his revenge for this morning.

"I won't take revenge from you anymore since you took care of my injury", he answered immediately, as if he had read my mind. I doubted him still and refused once again. And anyways I don't want to go out, I am too lazy.

"I don't want to leave", I whined and chace got up off the bed, standing intimidatingly in front of me. I thought he was going to leave but then he caught my wrist and pulled me up into a standing position in a jerk, making me clash into his chest due to which he caught hold of my waist fast enough before I would fall back. I looked up at him in annoyance but once our eyes met, I lost all my displeasure meant for him, making me get captivated at how they were shining in the light. They had this deep meaning to them which I couldn't seem to understand. And this time, something happened which has never happened with me ever before...my heartbeat increased so much that I couldn't believe it could circulate blood this fast. Looking into his eyes alone had made my heartbeat go so fast, I wonder if he could make it beat much faster. My eyes then fell on his lips which still looked lightly swollen, which meant that it was proving that we had just had am intense make-out session. They looked so tempting and inciting that I just wanted to lean in and capture them into a hot kiss once again. They were teasing me and I seemed to be falling for it because right now, I felt like I would loose control any time right now.

"You seem to like our closeness a lot these days", he broke the silence and ruined my whole mood by speaking. He really does know how to ruin a moment, but why do I feel bad? But since he brought me back to reality, I backed up immediately and to avoid any more discussions or actions like earlier, I decided to have a shower.

As I walked into to my walk-in closet, I was about to open my cupboard when my wrist was held tightly and I was pulled back into a hard chest, making me collide into it. Chace's hands caught my shoulder from behind and turned me to him, making me force to look at him in the face.

"Get ready, I am taking you somewhere", he ordered and I raised my eyebrow at his bossy instruction, what am I? A puppy?!

"No!", I refused right away and started pushing him and his hands off me but his grip was too tight, but not too much to leave a bruise or something,"Let go of me!", I whined and kept trying to push him but all my attempts failed. Suddenly, I was backed up into the wall hard while chace stood in front of me, a few inches away from my face. He looked at me while I was trying to get over the shock of getting hit by a wall on my back. Chace's hands on my shoulders loosened and fell on his sides, and I decided that this was my chance to escape. But all hopes went down the drain when his hands came aggressively and locked me between him and the wall, since he placed his hands on the wall and beside my hips due to which I couldn't even duck and escape from under them.

As I stared at him in annoyance, he slowly started leaning in and my breath got caught in my throat immediately. We have already been too close today and I don't want us to get too close in order to end up doing something we will regret later, at least I will. He kept leaning in and the more I tried to resist, this close proximity became more tempting to me. But I tried my level best to fight against my feelings. Once he reached an inch away from my lips, he titled his head and towards my ear,"You say yes, or say no, I am taking you, that's my order", he whispered slowly, making a shiver run my spine by hearing his husky hot voice. Shut up Sophie! Say no!

"Still no", I declared sternly, although I knew that he really won't let me escape,"Then we stay in position for as long as I wish, and I can't promise that nothing will happen between us if we are standing so close", he said and he was trying to scare me off, but I am not at all fearing him. But I can't just stand here, I need to do something. Yep, got it!

"Fine, we will go. But first I need to get ready", I agreed and chace looked taken back by my sudden change of decision, I guess he didn't expect it. I hope he falls for my act.

"Promise?", he asked like a child and I rolled my eyes, nodding my head. He backed away immediately and started walking towards my wardrobe and opened it without my permission. I quickly ran to him and pushed him back, closing my cupboard and glaring at him for trying to invade my private things. How dare he?!

"Who the hell gave you the permission to open my cupboard?!", I yelled at him aggressively as he shrugged his shoulders, like opening a female's cupboard was really normal to him. Well, looking at his past affairs with multiple girls, he may actually be used to it.

"Are you on your period?", he asked me casually as he leaned against the doorframe of the walk in closet door,"Why do you want to know?", I asked and he shrugged once again, giving me a bored look.

"Because one moment you are sweet, and the next you are grumpy, so I guess that's because your hormones are dancing within you", he cleared his statement and I stared at him in shock, gaping at him with an open mouth, left completely speechless. He really does know a lot about girls.

"Shut up and get out of my room!", I ordered as I folded my arms and tapped my foot impatiently on the ground, waiting for him to leave. He stood straight and placed his hands into his pocket, ignoring the fact that I just told him to get out of here. Instead of walking outside, he took slow steps towards where I was standing right now, and he had the same expression as the one he had when he trapped me between his body and the wall a few moments ago. I quickly processed and thought of what to do, getting an idea on what I am going to do to avoid getting trapped by chace once again. As he continued to walk to me, I quickly side stepped and exited the closet, making my way to the washroom and locking it's door.

I leaned my head and back against the wall as I heard footsteps from outside, getting closer to the washroom. Once they stopped, chace unexpectedly banged the door hard enough to shake me, causing me to bring my hand to my chest and calm myself. His hand was banging the door so hardly, that I thought this door would break right away. The knocking continued and I decided to ignore it and have a quick shower. I am sure by then chace will get tired and leave.

I got out of my cloths and opened the shower, setting the right temperature and checking it with my fingers. Once the temperature was according to my desire, I stepped into the tub and let the hot water slide onto my body, making me feel lighter, calm and stress-free. Chace was still banging the door but I was able to ignore it.

While standing under the shower, I thought about all that happened between me and chace today. This morning we were fighting, and in the evening we had a make out session, now again we are back to the game of cat and mouse. I keep running away from him like a mouse while he chases me around like a wild cat, trying to eat me up. I internally cringed at the thought of being ate up by him.

While we were kissing, he was so good that I almost got ready to have sex with him, which thankfully I didn't or else he would have made me regret giving my virginity to him my whole life. I don't know if I feel happy or sad that we didn't do anything else except kissing, it just makes me feel kind of sad though. But I don't want to be that desperate kind of girl who would be ready to have sex with anyone, I would like to keep my virginity to myself until marriage. I may sound old fashioned to many guys if I say this to them, but I don't care because if a guy truly loves me, he will respect my decision rather than making fun of it. But kissing chace makes me feel like a whore because he is neither my boyfriend, nor have I ever thought of having him as my soulmate. Of course I have kissed chace many times, but the one we had today felt different...it felt real. And this kiss is now making me feel confused as to if I like chace, which I am now sure that I do. But I can't just rely on my likes only, I need to know if chace also likes me in real or not because as far as I know, he may have just written that he like me in that letter and in reality he didn't. Now I am overthinking, I think I need to relax. But seriously, Chace's kiss made me feel excited in places I never thought I would feel. I actually wished that he would have taken things further than just kissing. Yuck! Now my mind is getting sexual.

I shook my head and washed my body and hair, trying to keep my mind busy thinking about other matters in my life, but that rarely worked of course. Once I was done with cleaning everything, I stepped out of the tub and looked for a towel and my cloths, that's when I remembered that I left all my cloths, undergarments and towel outside in a hurry. Great! I am such an intelligent person. Not!

I looked around myself to find something to cover myself and that's when my eyes landed on a neatly folded towel, it was kept on the top shelf right above the shower and Savannah told me it was for situations like mine. I grabbed it and wrapped it around my body, but as expected, it turned out to be too small. It hardly could wrap completely around my body and I had to stretch it a lot, and the height of it was only reaching till my thigh. I looked into the mirror and started planning on how to escape to my closet without getting caught my chace. But first I need to check if he is still outside or has he left my room. I unlocked the door slowly, trying to make less sound and opened it, peeked outside, scanning my room for his existence. As my eyes landed on him, I found him sleeping on the bed with his right hand over his eyes and it seemed like he was fast asleep. I think this is my chance to escape chace without him looking at me naked.

I took a deep breath and stepped outside, testing if chace would get up, which he didn't. I took another step and started creeping to the closet, keeping my eyes on him to know if he is still sleeping. I continued creeping towards the closet but since I wasn't looking t my steps, I suddenly tripped on something near the bed and went rolling to my bed, falling on top of chace hard, waking him up at the very moment. I looked down at him as he stared at me with his sleepy eyes, looking as cute as a baby. Shut up Sophie! Now is not the time.

"Why are you on me?", he asked in confusion and was about to get up but I pushed him back on the bed. I could feel my whole naked front touching chace, which means that my towel is probably not covering my front and only the back. Oh no!

"You are not standing up nor looking at me", I ordered and waited for him to agree but he still didn't get what I was saying to him,"What nonsense!", he said and brought his hands around my waist but we both froze, because his hand went to my waist from inside and that means that he understood regarding my naked situation right now. Wow! I am lying naked on a guy with whom I just had a make out session with.

"Your naked?", he asked in shock, staring at me with wide eyes but my situation was more bad right now,"Y-yes", I stammered my answer out and brought my hand up to his chest, trying to get up but the drawback of getting up right now was that if I stand up, chace will see my whole naked body and I can't let that happen. Not in a million years!

"What do we do now?", he asked and from his question, I assumed that he had the same thoughts as me. How am I supposed to pass this situation? Should I just get up and let him see me naked or should I not? Wait! I can tell him to close his eyes, but I am not sure if he will actually obey me.

"Close your eyes or I will cut your balls and feed them to the dog", I threatened him with the first thing that came into my mind, but then face-palmed myself internally. Cut his balls? Really? I suck at threats!

"Yes, you do suck", he said and I looked down at him in confusion, trying to understand what he meant and that's when I realized I said that out loud,"Ok, now close your eyes", I ordered once again and he obeyed immediately, making me thank the God for making chace listen to me.

I pushed my palms further into Chace's chest to get up and I saw him shaking in pain so I murmured a quick apology. I was almost up but since my feet were still wet, they slipped once again on the floor and threw me back onto chace, causing his eyes to open wide in shock and I think pain as well. Who wouldn't feel pain when someone falls on them this hard?

"Owww! What the hell?", he asked in pain and irritation and he looked at me angrily, making me lower my eyes and look down at my hands on his chest which were now under his palms. He shifted uncomfortably under me and I had to shift too but he suddenly hissed when I moved, making me look at him in confusion. Unexpectedly, I felt something poke my thigh and I immediately understood what it was, making me blush and scream in embarrassment, and I was clumsy enough to fall on the side and finally I was off Chace's body.

I thought I was now in the right position and all my focus went to how can chace get a boner at this situation? I was so lost that I didn't realize that my towel was no longer on my body and when chace looked at me, his eyes widened and without another word, he got up and ran to the washroom, leaving me lying in confusion.

As I was getting up, I noticed that my whole front was on display and that was the reason chace ran to the washroom. Maybe he got scared or something by looking at my naked body. I should be the one running away in embarrassment but he ran away, what is wrong with him?

I got up and made my way to my closet quickly, but I didn't find the cloths which I had kept for myself to wear tonight. I made my way to the wardrobe but soon found out that it was locked and only the drawers which consisted my undergarments were left open. I turned around in fury because I knew it was chace but on my way out, I saw a beautiful red dress hanging on the handle of my other cupboard along with some accessories and shoes. Since my cupboard was locked, I decided to try this dress on because it seemed to be my only choice to be fully clothed and fight with chace to unlock my wardrobes.

I took the towel off my body quickly and wrapped it around my hair, folding it on the top of my head. As I dressed up in it, I felt like I had fallen in love with this dress because it looked really pretty on me and it actually suited me. Sheer embroidered lace covered the bodice and a sensual off-the-shoulder sleeves of this light and breezy short dress. The sheer back showed off the delicate floral-lace pattern while box pleats on the flared short skirt created a flirty look to this party dress. Wearing this dress made me feel like whoever has bought this actually understands my taste in fashion. Chace is the only one home right now so I guess he has brought this for me. And I don't know if I should be kind to him for giving me this dress or should I bust my anger on him for locking my wardrobes?

As I was thinking how to react, I heard the washroom door open and ran out quickly, seeing chace coming out of the washroom while wiping his hands with a towel. As he looked up at me, his mouth fell open and his eyes widened in a way like they were going to pop out out right now. He kept staring at me and I found that creepy, his gaze was slowly changing to a really intense one and it was making me uncomfortable. I looked down at myself to check if I forgot to wear something but I was perfectly dressed up. Why is he staring at me like that?

I slowly stepped forward towards him and his eyes seemed to follow my every movement. As I reached and stood straight in front of him, he still stood expressionless and staring at me,"Chace!", I called out his name to get his attention but it didn't seem to work. I kept calling his name and snapped my fingers in front of his face but he gave me no reaction. Honestly, he had started pissing me off now.

"CHACE!", I screamed at the top of my lungs and Chace finally moved, looking up into my eyes and away from my body,"What are you staring at? And why is my wardrobe locked?", I asked as I folded my arms around my chest and looked at him with my most deadliest look, but it seemed like it had no effect on him because he smirked in return, side stepping me and totally ignoring my question.

"We are leaving in 5 minutes and you have only this much time to do all the other girly stuff which they do when they are going to a party", he ordered and I raised my eyebrow at his demand, letting out a sarcastic laugh. He thinks I am going to listen to his command? Listen to him my ass!

"I am not going anywhere and you will never be able to force me", I stood my ground as I declared my final decision. Without uttering a word, chace came back towards me and stood in front of me for a minutes before bending and wrapping his arms behind my knees, picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder. I was completely shaken up by this action of his and without wasting another second, I started hitting his back with my palms, screaming at him to keep me back down. I looked around us to see if there is something I can stop him with but found nothing. Now that I notice our surroundings, I think he is taking me to his room, and I wasn't wrong.

As we entered his room, chace finally dropped me down near his bed and went to take something from the drawer of his bedside table, so I took this distraction of his as a chance for me to escape, but chace's hand was fast enough to stop me by holding my wrist tight, pulling me back and crashing my back to his front. I struggled once again but chace suddenly held something in front of my face that I had totally forgotten about and I curse myself of how I could forget about this precious thing,"You want your mom's bracelet right?", he whispered his question slowly in my ear and I stared at it for a minute before nodding my head,"Then you have to go with me to the party and I promise I will give it back to you", he pledged and I thought for a minute regarding what to do. Should I give up my stubbornness for my mom's bracelet? Definitely yes!

"Ok, I will come with you. Just give me 10 minutes to get ready", I said politely and he let go off my wrist, freeing me finally. I took slow steps ahead toward my room and finally when I reached it, I made my way to savannah's dressing table where I had kept my things as well. I was already wearing a 3-inch heels which had come with the dress so now I only had to apply some makeup and wear some accessories.

I decided to leave my hair down in its natural form since I didn't have time nor the mood to style it up. I had also put on a black matching fluffy black knee length jacket over my dress in order to escape the cold weather. I grabbed the foundation and light applied it over my face in a small quantity, going for the black eyeliner, mascara and pink lip gloss. I didn't want to apply too much make up because then people stare at me at parties as if I am a slut and I am already going to a party with chace so people are automatically going to think that I am one of his sluts. I wonder if he taking me to the party only or does he take all his flavors of the month to different parties. I will ask him later and if it's true, I don't want to be titled a toy to chace like them. Thinking of him with other girls makes my heart squeeze in pain and I felt irritated as to why chace is a playboy? Although I haven't seen him with any other girl lately, but I can't seem to feel assured that he is not a playboy anymore. But why do I care? Oh of course, now I like that asshole so all his actions are definitely going to affect me.

"ARE YOU DONE SOPHIE?", I heard chace scream and drag me out of my thoughts, bringing me back to this world. I looked into the mirror and saw that I was ready, but before leaving my room, I wore a cute round silver earning and grabbed a black clutch, putting my phone as well as some money in it and exiting my room. I made my way back to chace's room and saw him standing with a naked back towards me, making me stare at it like a creep. He was going through his wardrobe and his muscles flexed perfectly on his back. As he found something, he shook his butt happily like he was dancing or something and put on a white button up shirt, making me whine internally as to why he covered himself. He then put on the black jacket that he always wears and made his way into the washroom.

As I stood remembering his body, I thought about exploring his room. As I ran my eyes through his room, my eyes suddenly landed on the bracelet which was lying on his study desk along with some keys. I made my way to it and grabbed the keys because they seemed similar, and I soon realized that they were my wardrobe keys. Haha! I thought the asshole was intelligent but he is not! I quickly grabbed the keys and bracelet, doing the happy dance, lost in my victory. Now no can force me to come to the party.

"Seems like you found your things", I jumped in shock as I heard chace from right behind me, making me turn slowly to him, but I held my things in my hand tightly so that chace couldn't snatch them back from me. Instead of showing him that I was scared, I smirked at him, giving him a confident look. But instead of being nervous, chace smirked back and took a step forward, making me take a step back and this pattern continued until my back hit the wall, and chace once again blocked my escape like earlier today.

But anyways, I have my bracelet back now some can't force me to go with him to the party anymore,"
"I am going to take you to the party, no matter whatever happens", he declared as if he knew what I was thinking. As I stared at him in challenge, his face suddenly brightened and he brought his hand up, waving the keys and the bracelet in front of my face, making me realize that I was so lost challenging him that he easily was able to skip these from my hands into his. Great!

"You have been a naughty girl, so now you will be punished", he said with a smirk as I gulped my saliva in fear, because by looking into his eyes, it seems like he has already planned something to punish me.
Unexpectedly, chace let his hands fall back to his side and folded them around his chest, looking at me up and down intensely. As I stood under his gaze, I kept shifting from one foot to another uncomfortably, but then my stupid brain worked and made me realise that I could run. I don't want the keys and the bracelet, I don't mind wearing this short dress for today. When Savannah comes, she will automatically force chace to give the keys back and also the bracelet. As I internally planned in my mind on how to escape chace, I looked around me and saw that the door was open slightly, and chace was standing more to the left so I could overtake him from his right and run to the door. But I don't think that would be easier so why not act like I have agreed to go with him.

"Fine! I will come with you", I declared and I did a high five with myself internally for thinking this plan at the end time. Chace seemed to doubt me and so he studied me for a minute before he nodded his head and turned to go to his bedside table to collect something, giving me a free chance to run. I quickly made my way to the door and was about to open it when a hand came and pushed the door close, trapping me once again. I froze on my spot because I knew that chace has ruined my escape plan once again.

"You really I thought I would fall for your plan sweetbutt", he whispered in my ear from behind as I shivered at the amount of closeness between us. Today we have been close a lot of times and I am tired of being trapped by chace again and again. He really doesn't quit testing my patience and I am totally tired of being under him at all times. Why is he forcing me to come with him?! I am not any of his toys which he will take anywhere he wishes to.

"Chace, please let me go. I am really serious cause I am tired of your stubbornness. I am done with this bull crap so let me go or you will regret it", I threatened him in the best way possible, but he didn't bulge. His hand was still blocking the door beside my head and I sighed in defeat because this guy has no affect of anything I do except when I kiss him or do something like that. Bloody horny asshole! Ok, that was rude, but he deserves it! He brought me a cute outfit but that doesn't mean he can do anything he wishes to do with me. I have a right to make my own choices and go to places where I want to actually go, not to some useless party.

"You can scare me as much as you want, but you will come to this party because some one is going to be there whom you need to teach a lesson", he clarified and I turned around quickly, looking at him in confusion. Someone I want to teach a lesson? Who could that be? I have no one to teach a lesson to.

"Who?", I asked him to clarify but he shook in head, refusing immediately to tell me who was he talking about. I thought for a minute if chace is telling the truth or not. If I go and see someone who I really want to teach a lesson to, I will have an amazing night, however, if this is one of his tricks to get me to the party, then I will regret ever listening to him. But he said it so genuinely that it seems like he is telling the truth. Maybe I should go.

"No, I don't want to teach anybody a lesson! I just want to sit home and relax. Now let me go", I was about to turn back towards the door but chace bended down and once again threw me over his shoulders, making me struggle all over again like before. I kept trying to resist but when the stairs came I stopped because I ain't planning to fall off and reach the hospital. This position was as uncomfortable as thongs for me. I know, I suck at comparing things but I am telling the truth, thongs are not at all comfortable for me!

As we reached the last step, I once again started hitting chace's back with my clutch, trying to hit him as hard as possible but suddenly, something he did seemed to freeze me, the asshole spanked me. The stupid asshole actually hit my ass and that also really hard, I am sure it would be red by now.

"How dare you?!"? I screamed at him and tried to reach my hand for his butt and hit it as well, but that caused me to gain one more spank on the other butt,"If you keep hitting or complaining, I will make sure your perfect round ass is as red as a tomato", he commented and I blushed at the descriptive words he used to describe my ass. But I wasn't going to be quiet so easily!

"Let me go!", I struggled again as I started hitting his back once again with my fists, using as much strength as possible but it didn't even make him flinch even once. Once I let my body loose because I was tired, I heard chace chuckle softly,"What the hell are you laughing at you asshole?!", I asked in irritation and got no response for some time before he finally stopped laughing.

"It's so late chace, please stop", I whined and tried to convince him once again but he shook his head in refusal,"You know this is not your choice, when I said I am taking you there, that means my decision is final. And you need to be punished for this morning as well", he declared and I groaned in response and glared at his stupid ass, because that's the only thing i could get the view of from this position,"I hate you!", I said in irritation and the next thing he said left me totally speechless,"I love you too", as soon as these words left his mouth, I froze on top of him and he seemed to realise what he had just said because he froze on his spot as well while walking. I swear I have never been in such an awkward situation ever before but right now, I have no idea what to do or say. Should I joke or keep quiet?

The rest of the way, I remained quiet and we exited the house, I shivered as the extreme cold weather passed through the pores of my fluffy winter jacket, and made contact with my skin. Chace locked the door, struggling to lock it with one hand and holding me by another. I squealed when he was about to make me fall but he caught hold of me on the right time and threw me back on his shoulder in a proper position. Once he locked the door, he unlocked his car and opened the passenger seat, throwing me onto the seat and bending in, pulling the seatbelt around me as I gave him a death glare. I wish looks could kill!

He closed the door harshly on my face once I was all tied up with the belt, going around the car towards his seat, keeping his eye on me so I that I wouldn't escape. Once he got in and was buckled up, he quickly brought the engine to life and zoomed out of the parking lot of his house, making me feel scared due to his rough driving. Once we were on the main road, chace slowed down the car speed but it was still too fast for me.

"Can you please drive a bit more slower? I feel sick in fast cars", I requested and it was partially true, I do get sick and scared when the car speed is high because of my past experience. When I saw that chace didn't listen to me and didn't slow down the car speed, I sighed in defeat and laid my head back onto the seat, closing my eyes and trying to think about something else, also trying to avoid the fact that I was riding in a sports car right now.

"Why? Are you scared of fast cars as well?", he asked after a few minutes of silence and I opened my eyes, staring at him in confusion. Well, he asked me the question really quick. Not!

"Yes", I muttered a quick response and looked out of the window, adoring the passing by shops which were all decorated for Christmas and new year. Oh right! I totally forgot about Christmas. Today is 24th December, that means tomorrow is Christmas! And I am not even prepared for it, I haven't bought any gifts for my friends, not decorated the house, not spread the Christmas spirit. Shit! I have a lot of work to do. I don't like the fact that ain't and uncle won't be there with me on Christmas but I just hope they return before new year at least.

"You are such a baby to be sacred o fast cars", he taunted me and I jerked my head towards him, giving him a dirty look,"You don't know anything so quit taunting me! I am not the only one, there are millions of people out there scared of fast cars, specially those who have gone through something in their past due to driving roughly", I explained and I knew that I was being really aggressive right now, but I just couldn't control myself from shutting him up.

"Woah! Chill, I am sorry if I offended you", he said shocked, raising his hands in surrender, leaving the steering wheel for a minute and making my breath stop. I panicked immediately as my eyes widened in fear, leaning in and holding the steering wheel quickly, but I was too late because the car had started going to the opposite track. This made chace realize his mistake and understand what had happened, so he quickly took over the steering wheel once again, handling and bringing the car skillfully back to the right track.

Once I was satisfied that the car was stable, I leaned back in my seat and let out a relieved breath, closing my eyes and trying to calm my fast heartbeat. Once I was relaxed, I opened my eyes and looked at chace to scold him but I decided to let it slip this time. But the next time he does something like this, I am definitely going to teach him a lesson. The rest of the ride passed in silence and I didn't realise when I fell asleep while looking at the highway outside the window.

"Wake up sweet butt", I heard chace calling me and giving me a light shake on my shoulder. I woke up and looked around me to check where we were right now and I came across a posh villa which was decorated in Christmas spirit and the music was so loud that even I could hear it outside the house. I feel bad for the neighbours of this house but what can I do? It's not my party so whatever.

"Where are we?", I asked chace as looking around with my blurry eyes, trying to find some landmark or sign which tells me where are we exactly,"We are out of town and this is the house where my friend is hosting a Christmas party", he explained and I gave him an obvious look,"No shit Sherlock! Of course I know that we are out of town and have come here to attend a Christmas party, but where are we exactly? What is the name of this town and how far are we?", I kept throwing questions in his direction but he just rolled his eyes, getting out of the car without acknowledging my queries.

I thought he would come to my door and open it for me like a gentleman, but I always tend to forgot that he is a devil. The asshole completely ignored me as I got down of the car and banged the door close, jogging in my bloody heels to catch up with the idiot before I get lose him in the crowd. I don't know if he locked his car after I got down or no, and I don't care either. It's his car, not mine.

But it's your only way back home idiot!

Oh shit, Yes! If his car gets stolen by some drunkard who had come to attend the party, I don't have any way to go back home, and I don't plan to stay the night here where it's going to smell like shit when everyone leaves. When I saw him entering the house, I started running to catch up with him but there were way more obstacles in my way to slow me down.

First, I bumped into a stupid drunkard who was standing in the way, still drinking, and he was way too heavy for me to push away,"Hey sexy, wanna ride on my friend?", I never expected him to say that because I thought he was completely drunk to even say hi to anyone. But I was wrong because he was in enough sense to offer me sex. What the hell? I am already starting to hate this stupid Christmas party. Without saying another word, I just tried my level best to push him out of my way and this time he did move, but not because of my push, he actually freaking fell on the ground before I could even push him. Guess his drunken state knocked him off on the ground. I slowly raised my foot and passed it over his body on the ground, quickly bringing my other foot forward as well, in case he woke up.

As I finally reached the entrance of the big villa, I immediately felt suffocated by only looking at the crowd inside the house. It was so jam packed and it felt like this house would blast from the loud torturous music being played. I didn't want to step inside at all but I had no choice, I wish I could have somehow snatched chace's keys from him so that I could secretly leave this party without him, I least care about what he will do without his car.

As I finally stepped into the house completely, I was surrounded by drunkards and weird couples who didn't mind doing displaying their affection publicly. That's brave of them but I can't blame them for getting carried away cause when I was kissed by chace, I got carried away too many times as well. Yuck! I feel like a slut right now when I remember all my kisses with chace. He is not even my boyfriend yet we kiss like we have been in a relationship for years. What happened today evening is still on my mind, I wonder if chace is also thinking about it?

Can't
I
Just
Freaking
Forget
About
That
Stupid
Kiss!!!!!!!!!

And the answer is obviously no. For the first time, I actually felt like I wanted to lose my virginity, and that also to a guy with whom I have no future. I don't know if that kiss meant something to chance, but to me, it meant everything. Looking at me right now, no one can guess that I just broke up with my boyfriend and that's all because of chace and his ways to keep me happy. I guess him bringing me to this party forcefully also has a hidden motive behind it. Earlier he was even talking something about taking revenge from someone or something like that. I wonder what he meant by that.

"Didn't expect you to be seen in a fun Christmas party", I froze as I heard the most familiar taunting voice behind me which I used to love hearing but now, I hate it. For a minute I though that I should just walk away and ignore him but I was so shocked that I couldn't even turn to look at him standing behind me.

"Oh come one babe, she just broke up with you, maybe she's here to get laid and forget about your betrayal", I heard another very familiar voice which belongs to a girl I hate the most and can never forgive. I finally calmed my nerves and gathered all my courage to turn and look at the slutty couple standing in front of me. They both were giving me a casual smile which looked innocent, but had that taste of bitterness for me.

As I turned around, they continued looking at me with an evil smile which was slowly starting to make me feel uncomfortable. I had thought that Hunter betraying me didn't make much difference to me so why am I feeling weird when I am standing in front of him? Didn't I tell myself to be normal and not let this bastard ruin my life ahead. I was trying to answer them with a smarts as comeback but my mind didn't seem to work, and I have no idea why is this happening to me?

"Cat got your tongue or what? Come on, tell us what is a boring person like you doing in such a big and fun party?", Veronica, the bitch, asked me as I felt venom in her voice towards me, and what made me feel irritated was that she was clinging to Hunter way too much. I was angry and speechless at the same time plus, I don't know why Veronica was being so hateful towards me when she was the one who was at fault and stole my boyfriend from me. So I have the right to be angry at her, but I guess it's working the other way round.

"She must be here to get over me", he said softly as he tssked at me,"You know something Sophie, I feel really bad for cheating on you, but the reason I cheated was your old fashioned thoughts and behaviour and that's something no guy is going to accept", he taunted me all over again as I stood still on my spot, torturing both of them using various ways in my head. Does he really think I am broken? Well, yes I am slightly hurt but not broken.

"I guess you have come alone and I don't think your going to leave with a guy. So you should leave this party because you don't know how to enjoy life", Veronica jumped in as I stared at her with irritation. Why the hell am I not able to give them a comeback because this sure is not the moment to kill them with kindness.

"Let's not waste our time on her babe and let's just go and enjoy this beautiful Christmas night because seeing this unfortunate 'forever single girl' is making me sick", Veronica bitch muttered to Hunter, but she was loud enough to make me hear her bullshit. I was so pissed off at myself for not saying anything back to these idiots but I couldn't seem to open my mouth at all.

I finally found the courage and was about to walk away when someone caught my attention coming from the back of Hunter and Veronica towards us. Chace kept walking until he side crossed Hunter and Veronica and came to stand beside me.

As soon as he reached beside me, his hand went into my hair and pulled my head near to his, giving a light but sweet peck on my lips and leaving me standing in shock, gawking at him with surprise. He looked at Hunter and Veronica and acted weird, as if he didn't know they were standing there. When I noticed clearly, their faces looked shocked, angry and confused all at the same time, as if this small peck had shocked them to the core.

"Oh hey Hunter, looking gorgeous Veronica, where have you guys been?", Chace asked them calmly and casually, as if they were his old friends, although Veronica was in his group back in high school. His casual body language made me more confused as to what was he planning to do, and why did he kiss me out of no where? Because as long as I remember, I haven't seduced him nor did we have a hot moment right now.

"Chace, how are you?", Veronica asked sweetly and I couldn't believe my eyes right now. This girl changed her behavior so fast as soon as she saw Chace that it was shocking, how can these people cover up and change their attitudes so fast? Damn!

Veronica unlinked her arms with Hunter and stepped forward until she was right in chace's face, looking at him and running her nasty fingers over his chest seductively, making me boil with anger internally,"I haven't met you for a long time", she whispered huskily as I stood frozen on my spot, waiting eagerly to see how will Chace react. I though he would flirt back but he actually raised his hand beside his hand in surrender and took a step away from her, shocking all of us.

He turned to me with a sweet smile and took my hand in his, kissing it and pulling me to his chest, looking back at Veronica,"I guess you have not been informed but I am with Sophie and I am not looking for any chicks", he informed her and it confused me as to why he was lying. Sure we have kissed but we haven't discussed anything about being in a relationship with each other.

I was slightly shaken by his words but then I covered it up and looked proudly at Veronica who was completely shaken along with Hunter,"Oh baby, I love you so much", I said sweetly to Chace as I raised myself on my toes and kissed chace's cheek softly. As I looked at Hunter and Veronica again, they still seemed shocked by what just happened and I don't know what came over me that I actually started enjoying this fake relationship role play with Chace.

"Actually, we are engaged", as soon as these words left my mouth, I face palmed myself internally for being so stupid to take this play to its extreme. All three of them turned to me with shock written all over their face and they seemed to be trying to process what I just said,"Are we?", Chace started blurted out with confusion and I quickly shut him up with a glare and a hit on his stomach, making him wince in pain and nodding his head, wrapping his hands around my shoulder and pulling me closer, smirking proudly at both of my enemies as they both still seemed like they were trying to process what me and Chace had just revealed.

"WHAT???", Veronica and Hunter finally screamed in sync as they understood what I just said. I smiled proudly at my achievement and looked at Veronica, "And you know what's the best part of our love story? I didn't have to sleep and stoop down to your level to earn Chace and I think its a big achievement for me. Isn't it babe?", I asked Chace seductively as he gave me an amused look and smirked, nodding his head. Suddenly, I felt his hand snake around my waist tighter and pull my body closer to his, bending down and trapping my lips in an unexpected kiss. It was really short one but it felt so real and at that very moment, for the first time I felt as if this was my most special, sweet and meaningful kiss I have ever gotten, even better than the one we had today in his room.

As he let go of me, I groaned in disappointment which made him chuckle. I finally looked at Hunter,"So as you have discovered, there are guys who accept me for who I am and I am proud to say that Chace is that guy, who helped me overcome tough situations and accepted me for who I am", I said and honestly, my statement was partially true.

Finally, Chace took my hand in his and interlocked his fingers with mine as we turned and started walking in the other direction, leaving Hunter in shock and shame and Veronica boiling with jealousy and anger. As we were about to enter the crowd, I suddenly stopped and turned back to look at the two losers who were still staring at us, but instead of leaving them, I raised my other hand and waved my middle finger with a smirk at them, which earned me a chuckle from Chace. Once I was satisfied with my abusing skills, I turned to the front and started pulling Chace into the crowd. Damn! That felt so good.

Right now I was feeling so good that I couldn't describe my situation. I felt so satisfied with what just happened and so happy to prove that asshole Hunter wrong and showing him that I was really happy with my life, and my life didn't have any changes with or without him in it. I was honestly so glad right now that without any further ado, I pulled Chace to the bar,"Slow down sweetbutt, I am still attached to you", Chace said jokingly and that's when I realized that we were still holding hands. I quickly let go off his hand and my hand felt so empty without his touch but I tried to cover my emotions up.

As I reached the bar, I sat down on the soft luxurious stool and ordered shots, making my decision to go wild tonight while Chace ordered a beer,"You sure you wanna have shots tonight?" Chace asked with concern and I nodded my head with a huge grin,"I am 110% sure", I declared and grinned like a small child when my drink arrived.

Honestly, I am trying shots for the first time in my life and I know I am stupid to do this, but today is the day I let loose and enjoy my life to its fullest,"Damn! You sure took full advantage of my lies", Chace said as he smirked at me and I turned to him confidently, picking up a shot and smirking back at him,"I make sure I take full advantage of what I am provided with", I said cockily and raised the glass,"Cheers", I screamed with excitement and he raised his beer bottle, as we both together gulped our drinks down our throat. I screeched in disgust as the bitter alcohol passed through my throat and gave me weird sensations, but then I started feeling like I needed to have more. And as I started drinking shots one by one, I realized one thing, that I was going to be a completely different person tonight and I will enjoy this night to its fullest.

The night has just started baby.
