“I wasn’t going to share those details with you. Merlin Beth! A true gentleman never shares intimate details,”
he said. Though to be honest – part of him… Nope. Don’t go there, Chase. Not worth it. Not worth it. He folded his arms and dismissed the terrible thought that made him a terrible person.

He remained silent, listening to her talk about how she agreed to it. “That makes sense. You want to be with someone in a relationship that’s genuine. You need some who’s passionate as you. Someone that you can disagree with but agree to move on, of course. Someone who drives you crazy but that’s always your person…” he spoke. He paused, thinking of people that fit the description for him. “A soulmate. You may have to kiss a few frogs here and there to find said guy but I’m sure he’s out there.” Chase was certain of this. Besides, any guy would kill to date Beth. He was sure of that. “But you may need a solid vetting process thus… I’m offering my services for a reduced rate. If you’re interested.” Hopefully she was following what he was putting down or offering… yes?

A shoulder pat? He eyed her, flabbergasted that she just patted his shoulder like he was a child. *AAAHEM * He paused and then offered her a smile, before taking his hand and giving her hair a ruffle. Ehehe. Two could play this game. “Anything to help you out. I figured if I was too nice you’d think that something was wrong with me.”

And that was when the sentence came that shouldn’t have hit as hard as it did. Oof… you’re like the older brother I never had and sort of regrettably had a crush…. Chase suddenly became quite awkward. He had never thought that she’d admit such a thing outloud but the fact that she just went and brother zoned him was unexpected… Also what was unexpected was his reaction… What… What … It didn’t make sense. Why was he feeling upset all of a sudden? He ignored it, putting a smile on his face. “Makes perfect sense now. But I doubt little Beth would agree with that. We knew she had a MAJOR crush just like Bella did in the Twilight series.” Mhmm.. Yes, he did reference Twilight too, miss GG.
