“ you’re a fucking mess. “ whitney had spent the last thirty minutes wiping away any traces of vomit around the male’s mouth and clothing. now she was cooling him off with a wet cloth, hoping he’d stop acting a mess. “ did you really think it’d be a great idea to say ‘i love you’ to me while i was talking to a guy, huh ? “ her tone was harsh, but her face was soft. as much as she resented him for ruining her night, she can’t help but feel a little something for him. after all, they were each other’s first loves. 

“ why did you think i’m an asshole ? “ adam asked, brows knitted together. he wasn’t dumb, he was well aware of people’s perception of him. since he started playing for the chicago bears, his reputation went downhill because people think he’s too ‘cocky’ and ‘arrogant’. what people failed to realize was the fact that adam was just the opposite of that. “ i treated you with nothing but respect throughout this whole date, and this is what i get in return ! i don’t know why i even try anymore. “

“ yeah, yeah, i’m sure your old man is all bark and no bite .” he stood back and watched her remove a gold chain necklace with a small pair of boxing gloves on it from the black bag. a smile broke across his face, and the corners of his eyes wrinkled. okay, adonis wasn’t the type of guy to get all soft and mushy inside, especially since he’s in a profession that requires the opposite of that. but, he couldn’t help but be touched by the fact she got him a cute gift. “ no, no don’t return it. are you crazy ? i love it ! “ adonis said with a laugh. “ put it on me, i wanna see how it looks. “

“ uh, excuse you ! double chin ? i think you need to schedule an appointment with an eye doctor because i do not have a double chin, kay ? “ carmen spat back, narrowing her eyes. she made a mental note to strangle her manager for pairing her up with such an awful person. “ i can’t believe we’re supposed to be together. how is this thing going to work if you keep on being horrible ! “ carmen ran her hands through her silky black locks. “ it’s so hard to be beautiful and talented. i just bring out the worst in people because they’re so threatened by me. i know that’s something you obviously can’t relate to. “ 

“ oh, i didn’t think you’d know anything about being creative. “ carmen didn’t put in much effort when it came to captions because their relationship was purely pr, and it’s not like it mattered in the long run. as long as their selfies got thousand of likes and headlines, she was perfectly happy with it. “ since you don’t like what i had in mind, what would be your suggestion ? “ carmen asked, raising a perfectly threaded brow at him. she tapped her heel while she waited for an answer. 

“ if there’s an important lesson i learned from being in this business, it’s to always leave them wanting more. why do kissing selfies when we could do almost kissing selfies ? that way we don’t look like an obnoxious couple and our kissing selfies will generate more attention and likes because of how sacred they are. “ carmen tilted her head to her left side, making sure the camera got her best angle. she pursed her lips into a sexy pout and narrowed her dark eyes. she framed the camera perfectly so it included both of them and she snapped the photo. “ i got the selfie ! now we need to come up with a caption. i was thinking beauty and the beast ? “

“ i’m going to pretend i didn’t hear that.” carmen flashed the female her megawatt smile. if she hadn’t been brought up a lady, there was a good chance she would’ve tackled the female to the floor by now. “ come on, don’t be like that ! “ she playfully slapped her on the wrist. “ are you still mad about the last selfie ? i know that wasn’t a flattering angle for you, but it’s not like everyone noticed. they were all too busy looking at me. “ 

adonis closed his eyes and shook his head. “ you do realize your father is like ten times bigger than me and could beat my ass to a pulp, right ? “ despite the annoyance in his tone and the frown on his face, he was happy to see her. her feminine presence was a much needed welcome after he spend his day in the gym with nothing but sweaty dudes. “ you got me a gift ? “ he raised a brow, crossing his arms over his chest. he didn’t believe her until she removed a small black bag from her clutch. he grabbed the bag and took a peek inside. “ wow, “ adonis said. “ i can’t believe you got me this. “
