《Bad Boy Next Door》Chapter 26: Jealous
Advertisement
"Good Morning!" I said entering Chace's car, kissing him on the cheek.
"Good Morning" giving me a sweet smile. "About la-"
"Sorry, forgot my apple" Michael sitting on the back seat. "Hi!" He said, Chace looking at me weirdly, wanting me to explain.
"I was about to tell you, Michael's coming with us to school." giving him a cheeky grin.
"He doesn't go there." Chace pointing the obvious.
"It'll be fine. He can just sit in my class, usually, teachers don't mind."
"But-"
"If it ain't alright I can go." Michael attempting to leave.
"No" I stopped him "It's alright, right Chace?" He just nodded in response "Let's buckle up then! Off we go."

"Oh my God! OH MY GOD!" Pheobe jumping up and down in surprise as she saw Michael with us, Maggie and Amy was stun.
"I'm back!" Then the girl squirm towards to hug him.
"When did you arrive?" Amy ask.
"Just yesterday" as the reunion goes, I can see Chace being uncomfortable.
"Are you alright?" I ask him.
"Maybe just had a bad wake up." he said as he frustratingly runs his fingers through his hair. "I should probably report to the coach."
"Okay, see you at lunch" then left.

"You are so paying for this!" Amy grabbing food as many as she can "I mean it!"
"Yeah! Yeah!" Michael rolling his eyes, taking his wallet from the back pocket.
"And all these too" Maggie pointing on our trays.
"I officially proclaim myself Broke" he hands out his card to pay.
"You owe us more than this" Pheobe sticking her tongue out to him, we giggled off to our seats.
"Where's loverboy?" Amy looking around for Chace.
"He'll be here soon." I said sipping on my apple juice.

"Additional" Michael putting down nachos as he sat down next to me.
"We love you so much" Amy taking it to her side, making us all laugh.
"Hey." Chace said with nachos too "Didn't know you all already have one" as he sits on my other side.
"The more the merrier" Amy said with a wide grin.
"Chace right?" Michael ask "I think we haven't officially met, I'm Michael" he offers his hand.
"Chace" he shook his hand boredly.
"He's Cassie's boyfriend" Maggie informing Michael as she took a nacho.
"Oh, I didn't know. It's nice to meet you" he politely said.
"Yeah, Nice to meet Cassie's Bestfriend" he deeply emphasized on the word there.
What's going on?
"Y-eah" Michael just politely responded.
"I need to get some water, anyone else?" Chace asks.
"We're good thank you." Amy answered.
"Okay, be back." he kisses the top of my head before going.
I was eating and dipping the nachos on the cheese when a spot got on my lower lip.
"Haven't really change at all, still doesn't know how to eat like a lady." Michael smally laugh.
"What?"
"You've got cheese here." he pointed on his lower lip.
"Oh" I tried to wipe it out on my lip just as he pointed.
"No, a little bit more left" he instructed.
"Is it gone?" Wiped it again.
"Tsk, no" he shook his head.
"How about now?"
"I'll get it" he took a napkin and wipe it off my face "the-" but he was suddenly pulled up in his chair, Chace holding him onto his collar.
"Chace! What are you doing?!" I immediately stood up.
"I've had it with your flirting, you think I haven't noticed it." his eyes were filled with anger.
"What are you talking about?" Michael completely shocked.

"Chace, calm down!" Trying to push him off Michael.
"I'm not flirting with anybody." Michael in his own defense. "God! She's my best friend.
"I'm not stupid!" Chace was about to punch Michael when I finally got in between.
"What the hell Chace!" I yelled at him.
"Fuck!" He pushed Micheal letting him go and then storm out of the cafeteria.
"I'm so sorry." apologizing to Michael as I follow Chace out. "Stop!" I caught his arm "What was all that?" He wouldn't dare to answer "He did nothing wrong."
"Nothing!? Huh, like flirting with you is nothing." He frustratingly run his finger through his hair.
"We were not flirting! How many times do you want me to say it?" My voice grew in annoyance.
"Then what would you call all those touching and stuff." He was pacing back and forth.
"What? What touching and stuff?"
"Those sweet hugs and that-" he kicks a trash bin in irritation. All I can do was burst out laughing. "What the hell!?"
"You're jealous? That's cute."
"It's not funny at all!" He shook his head.
"It is! Well, I'm sorry if you feel that way about Michael" I took a step closer to him, trying to console him as I finally analyzed the situation.
"That ass." he muttered, still annoyed.
"But Chace" linking my arm on his "He's Gay." I told him still chuckling.
"What?!" He exclaimed in shock.
"Yup." I nodded in assurance "Can't you get the signs? he's friends with all girls, loves to bake, wears lip tint and he even wears T.Swift perfume."
"Shit!" He cursed.
"Yes"
"I almost punched him" has his hands on his forehead, totally feeling embarrassed.
"I'm sorry for making you feel that there were more." I said to him.
"Shit!" He continued to curse.
*****
"About earlier" Chace embarrassedly opened up to Michael as we park the car in front of their driveway.
"It was fine! I understand." Michael being so understanding.
"I'm so sorry."
"I should apologize too for giving you signals that I liked your girlfriend even though she's definitely not my type." he jokes, lifting the tension in the air.
"I'm really sorry" Chace offering his hand to officially end the misunderstanding.
"Apology accepted" Michael shook in agreeance.
"So everybody okay? Why not we celebrate with pizza" Amy suggested.
"Yeah, his treat!" Michael pointing on Chace.
"Really Chace?" Maggie and Pheobe cheering.
"Yeah, sure" he grins.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Amy singing the part.
****
"Sorry for the way I acted earlier" Chace brushing my hair as we lay in bed.
"My fault too that I didn't tell you that Michael was gay and for being insensitive that I didn't notice you were jealous" looking at him.
"No, I should have not jumped into conclusion and let my feelings get to me."
"If only I paid more attention to you"
"I'm confused who's apologizing?" He smally laugh.
"I guess we're both doing it" I joined in chuckling.
"Well I guess this can only be fixed with one thing" he wiggles his brow.
"What's on your mind?" Slightly moving away as he closes in.
"Bear." he smirks.
"No" I shook my head.
"Bear."
"Chace, No" I stood up the bed as he moved closer "No"
"Yes!" He caught me as I tried to run
"Chace, no"
"Yes" he nodded as he smirks evilly
"No"
"Yes!" He then tickles me nonstop on the side, me laughing hysterically.
