Chapter 53- Everyone in denial

Book:Their End, My Beginning Published:2024-5-1

*Kat’s POV
“God that bath really helped.” I exclaimed tiredly, slumping into the couch.
“Yeah it did.” Ryder laughed behind me. I threw the pillow at him.
“I am tired because of you.” I said sighing.
“Sorry, though not really.” He said and leaned down to kiss on my hair. That way of kiss always does wonders on me. For some reason I feel that is more intimate than the kiss on lips. “Are you coming to office or hanging around here?” He asked ruffling my hair. He went into kitchen to grab his coffee.
I turned my body around and looked at Ryder in his suit looking handsome as always. Him being in suit gives the opportunity for the butterfly in my stomach to create chaos instead of just fluttering like they always do when I see him in hoodie with his messy hair. Uff. The mere image in my head is sending electricity all through out my body. God how obsessed am I with him. He is not even looking at me nor touching me for me to feel tingly.
“I know I am handsome, you don’t need to stare at me. I am all yours to have.” He winked for which I rolled my eyes and he chuckled. He came towards me with my coffee cup as well as his. So sweet of him to make me coffee without even asking him. I wanted a coffee too for which I turned back to ask him but forgot when I saw how handsome he looked in his dark blue suit. He handed me the coffee while pecking. Which starting as just pecking eventually leaded to both of us being breathless.
He pulled back while stroking my cheek.
“You didn’t answer my question.” He said raising his brows.
Oh he asked me a question. Forgot that as well. I giggled and answered. “I am way ahead of my schedule so I will be staying home to get over my tiredness while binge watching and hanging out with Amanda.”
He nodded. “So the devil’s coming. Have fun though not too much without me.” He said while leaving.
I turned around and took the remote on the coffee table. As I was fixed on one channel and watching some random movie that popped up, I took my phone and called Amanda to hang out. Its been a long time since we had a girls day. I desperately need it. Plus I want to know the deal between Amanda and Neocount. I am sure as hell, he didn’t leave right away after sending her home.

“He is soo sweet, sooo handsome, soo bossy too. Never did I thought I would use that word to describe someone I like.” Amanda said while we talked about our love life after 2 hours of watching ‘a christmas prince’, while eating packs of chips and icecream. God eating too much of chips was a bad idea my stomach hurts.
“Christ, you have been saying that for the past 30 mins soon after we saw the movie.” I whined.
“Prince Richard reminded me of Neo. Plus don’t you whine. You weren’t any different when you got into relationship with Ryder. God Ryder is so hot, Ryder is so that, Ryder is this, Ryder, Ryder.” Amanda said imitating me with high pitch voice. “And it went on for months, though it wasn’t any different before you got into relationship either.” She continued leaning towards the coffee table to grab the juice.
“I so did not sound like that. It was more like Ryder. Ryder” I repeated but in soft, sweet voice. Atleast tried to.
“Ha you wish.” Amanda snorted.
“Okay get out.” I said pushing her away to which she threw the pillow at me. When we were staying together we never had the pillow on the sofa the way we placed it but always either on floor or someplace else because of our throwing habit.
“But seriously, Neo brings out something in me that I never thought was even there in the first place. You know how I hate bossy men who orders me in bed. But him.” She moaned.
“True. You have had 10 boyfriends last year just because they were bossy though I never understood why, though you were always a pushover.” I said while sipping my drink.
“I am so not a pushover.” She exclaimed.
“Okay, and I am not high maintenance.” I said.
“Now don’t play friends on me.” She said to which I shrugged smiling cheekily. God I loved how Chandler comforted her at that. Gosh I am obsessed with it. Well watching all episodes more than 10 times would not be obsessed right. Note the sarcasm there.
“Yeah I can be a little pushover but only with you otherwise those boys would have danced on top of my head.” She continued not caring I called her pushover. We say many things to each other that it’s a common thing for us. Unhealthy I know, but when has best friends behaviour been healthy. Healthy for us but not for outsiders. But since a lot of things are problematic to the outsiders its not really an issue anymore, about what they think.
