Chapter 15- One Simple Mistake

"Here," the bartender said as she got me another drink.

Just a while ago I saw Chase. Was it really him or someone else? Maybe I was just seeing things. I took the drink and drank it.

However since Chase came into my life, it has changed. Maybe for the better. Maybe not all boys are the same. Maybe he's different.

"Another one," I heard Rhea shout to the bartender. "Actually two," she said as she pecked on Sameer's cheek.

Sameer and Rhea had been drinking constantly since an hour. Drink after drink after drink. They both were so drunk. Rhea held onto Sameer and moved here and there while Sameer just looked at her.

I don't know why but they reminded me of Keechee and Grandpapa. They also met the same way and fell in love. But then family problems but grandpapa never left Keechee. I believe neither will Sameer.

I think Sameer will never leave Rhea. She deserves someone that loves her. I am really happy for her. I still wonder who wants to harm her, she is such a sweet person.

Bartender passed a drink to Rhea whose eyes lighter up when she saw it. Just as she was about to drink it, I snatched it from her. She frowned.

"Rhea you both had too many already, now we have to get going. C'mon," I said as I stood up and made them get up with me.

"One more," Rhea pouted as Sameer tried making an innocent face.

"More is at the house, let's go," I said as I hurried them to the car.

I opened the door but I didn't see them behind me instead they both sat in the back. I sighed and closed the door and went towards the other side and started the car.

"Driver where are we going?" Rhea laughed as Sameer shushed her.

"My house," I looked at them from the rear view mirror and they were cuddled up.

"Take us there driver," Rhea muttered and after that I heard nothing from either of them. I looked at them and they both were fast asleep.

Thank god I didn't drink more. I drove the car to my house because Keechee went out with Sydney. They got along and I'm happy and so is dad. Well, she will come after a week or two and I am home alone so I can have them over.

As I was driving, I turned the radio on and Bad Things was on. This song is the death of me. It has such beautiful lyrics.

As I drove, I dozed off thinking about Chase. I can't get him out of my head. I had to do something. I hope he got the deal but why wasn't he picking up my calls? I ran my hands on the passenger seat but I didn't see my purse there.

Shit.

I left it at the club.

I looked back and found them fast asleep. I decided to turn around and get it but then I was almost home so I'll drop them off first and then go get my purse.

Just as I reached home, I opened the door for them and woke them up. They both went inside the house and god knows where they slept. I closed the door and left for the club.

~~~

Just as I reached the club I saw my purse on the counter. Thank god. I ran to it and hanged it on my shoulder. There was loud music playing in the background and many people were dancing on the floor.

I checked my purse and everything was in there. I sighed of relief. Just as I was about to leave, I saw a figure which was similar to Chase's outside. I think I was just seeing things and decided to leave the club.

Just as I went outside, I bumped into him. "I'm sorry," I mumbled as I picked up my purse.

"Olive?" He mumbled softly. "Is it really you?" He mumbled.

I looked at him and it was actually Chase. He same facial features, same green eyes, same person. I wasn't hallucinating, it was actually Chase.

"Chase?" I muttered slowly.

He looked at me, intensely. It was so intense that I felt as if this wasn't the same Chase I know. He always smiled no matter what. He was also very drunk and couldn't stand straight by himself.

"You aren't real, I'm hallucinating again. But Olive, even if I'm hallucinating, I'd want it to be you every time. You are everywhere now Olive, I can't get you out of my head," he whispered as he held onto my shoulder.

"Chase, are you okay?" I asked.

Just like how I couldn't get him out of my head, he couldn't get me out of his head either.

"Is it really you Olive?" He whispered near my ear which sent chills down my spine.

"Yes," I whispered back.

He smiled faintly and hugged me. Just as my hands could hug him back, he let go instantly. His eyes were again, dark and intense when he realized he wasn't hallucinating.

"What are you doing here Chase?" I asked him.

He looked around and avoided eye contact. My eyes were searching for his beautiful eyes. His eyes were pierced to the ground which showed concern for me but also a hint of regret.

"Chase, what are you doing here?" I asked again but no reply.

After some time he looked at me and muttered something under his breath that I couldn't make sense of.

"What?" I asked him.

"I made a mistake Olive," he whispered softly, avoiding eye contact.

"It's okay Chase," I said looking at him.

"You will mad at me Olive," he spoke softly as a whisper.

"I'd never be mad Chase. It's okay tell me what happened," I asked him as he ran his hands in his hair.

"I- I-" he stuttered.

I had no idea why he would say that. Oh lord what has he done? Is the deal off? I mean it's fine if it is, I won't be mad at him for that. Wait what was he talking about tho? I hope it's just the deal.

"Olive I- We didn't get the deal," he stated finally.

"Oh," I sighed deeply in relief. "It's okay we'll get many more chances."

"And..." he started.

Oh god.

"And?" I asked, curiously.

"Remember the girl from restaurant when we had our first date?" He asked.

"Yes I remember," I nodded.

"Dad chose her to come with me to Paris for the deal," he stated.

"Uh-huh," I said, going along with what he was trying to say.

"So when I didn't get the deal, I was mad. If you'd be there then we would've gotten the deal but that girl had to ruin everything. So I went to the bar," he started and I nodded.

"And over there I got really drunk," he stated and I started to get the idea where this was going.

I sighed in disbelief.

"And-" he started as tears formed in his eyes. He didn't say anything after and.

"And you slept with her," I finished and his head shot up towards me and he looked at me.

I sighed knowing that this was gonna happen. His expressions changed as his eyes pierced mine.

"Olive I-," he whispered and his hands reached my arm but I stepped back.

"Don't," I said while looking at the ground, avoiding his eyes so that they wouldn't compel me into forgiving him.

"But olive that's not-," he started as he stepped forward.

"I said don't," I almost shouted as I stepped back again.

"I swear Olive I didn't-"

"Oh you didn't mean to sleep with her? I don't care," I interjected.

"Can you at least hear me out? I didn't sleep with her, I swear," he said.

"I have to go," I stated as I went to my car. I could hear footsteps approaching me which was Chase. He followed me to my car and stood next to me.

I opened the door but Chase closed it suddenly. I looked at him and he looked very troubled.

"Olive please don't leave," he stated, looking into my eyes with his intense eyes.

This always happens and now I'm just used to it. This is how it always ends. This is why I don't want relationship.

"I need to go home," I said as I opened the door and Chase closed it again.

"You have to understand olive, I didn't," he muttered before passing out on the side walk.

I opened my door and sat inside. As I was about to leave, I saw him on the side of the street. I remembered the day when I was drunk and he helped me. I got out of the car and decided to help him to the car.

I sat him in the passenger seat in front and placed the seatbelt. He looked so innocent. I moved a piece of hair to the side which fell on his eyes. Suddenly I took my hand back and drive off.

~~~

When I reached home, Rhea and Sameer were sleeping in the guest bedroom. I didn't know where I should put Chase to sleep so I took him to mom's room. He slept peacefully on the bed.

I was angry at him for sleeping with Amanda but I had no right to be mad at him.

I didn't own him but somehow he affected me. How could he? He has the audacity to apologize for doing it and denying.

I left the room and went to my own room. I changed and laid down on my bed. I couldn't fall asleep. All I could think about is Chase.

How can he sleep with her? Why do you care Olive, he did what any boy would do. I was the one who doesn't want to have a relationship with her boss. Not all are like me.

A tear rolled down my cheek and I wiped it away. If I didn't care then why did it hurt? I hate feelings, actually I hate everything.

I moved from side to side until I could fall asleep. All the thoughts were fresh in my mind and just then I dozed off to sleeping.
