Chapter fifteen

“I know that I agreed not to ask any questions but why are we stalking Jess’s boyfriend?” a confused Gilly finally asked Kris.
“What happened to trusting me?” They were stood opposite Kyle’s apartment block. That was as far as Kris had planned.
“This is for her own good, right?”
“Of course it is. I wouldn’t be hanging around outside a stranger’s flat otherwise,” Kris snapped. Gilly could see how emotional he was getting and decided to leave the line of questioning until later.
“Any ideas of how to find out information about Kyle without looking suspicious?”
Kris grudgingly asked a few minutes later.
“Give me two seconds mate,” Gilly declared. He took off towards the entrance of the apartment block.
“Can I help you dear?” a woman called over to him.
“Can you tell me if Kyle lives here please?” Gilly requested politely. Upon receiving his answer, he beckoned Kris out of his hiding place.
“This is our other mate, Kris,” Gilly informed the woman.
“Other mate?” Kris queried. He was not following the plan.
“I’m just explaining that we’re old mates of Kyle’s. Turns out that this is where he lives.” Kris appeared to click on.
“So how long have you known Kyle?” He turned his attention towards the woman.
“He’s lived here about a year now. We’re next door neighbours.” The woman studied both Kris and Gilly as the conversation progressed. She decided that they meant no harm and invited them into the block to wait for their friend.
“He lives in that flat then?” Gilly pointed out as they made their way to the woman’s flat.
“Yes. He shouldn’t be too long, like I said.” Kris admired the many paintings hanging on the walls as they entered her hallway.
“I drew them all,” she happily announced.
“They’re really good,” Kris commented. She indicated for them to take a seat and went to drop her bags into the kitchen.
“Any idea where he is?” Gilly called out.
“Probably with his new girlfriend dear. I saw her leave his flat yesterday. She seems nice enough.” The woman appeared back in the living room.
“Nice enough? Kris questioned. Those words struck him as odd.
“He always picks the same type of girl. None of them last long mind.” She took a seat opposite the two guys.
“Any idea why?” Gilly saw this as their chance to gain vital information.
“I know that he’s your friend but I’m going to be honest here. This will probably upset you.”

Please carry on

OMFG
I think this will probs upset me more than it will Kris lol
Please continue. I really really really need to read more!

Thanks for the comments. It means a lot that people are reading.

Chapter sixteen

Jess finally emerged from her room that afternoon. She had found a note on her pillow from Kyle asking her to meet him later. Of course she was going to oblige.
A feeling of dread washed over Jess as she passed Kris’s room. His words had really hurt her last night. The mere implication that she would get sucked in by a player made her believe that Kris didn’t know her at all. Jess had always prided herself on being able to understand people’s characters and Kris’s accusations last night did not fit with Kyle’s. She angrily shook thoughts of her back stabbing room mate out of her head. From now on her focus was entirely on her gorgeous boyfriend. At least he cared and understood her. A quick glance at Kris’s jacket on the coffee table threatened to topple this resolve.

Absolutely brilliant
Please please continue

I'm not that happy with this part. I'm not sure if what I'm trying to get at is coming across. Please tell me if it doesn't work.

Chapter seventeen

“He has a daughter?!” Kris exclaimed. He was aware that their cover of being old friends was at risk of being blown but he couldn’t stop the shocked words from escaping his mouth.
“Did you not know? She would be five now,” the woman asked. Gilly quickly cut in.
“We know him from school. Haven’t had contact for about 6 years. It must have been with the girl he met in the last year.” Kris was grateful for the save.
“He did mention that he met her in school. Anyway, she took his daughter off him two years ago. Ever since then he’s tried to find a step-mother for her. The courts ruled that he could only get back in touch with her once he had settled with a suitable companion,” she continued. This was not what Kris had been expecting to find out.
“He picks the same type of girl to mould them into his perfect partner. They are always really pretty as he thinks that this will upset his ex, intelligent, outspoken yet have a vulnerable side. He uses this side to undermine their lives, get them to reject the people in it if you like. This leaves them completely dependent on him so that, when he mentions that he wants them to fight for custody, they are more than willing to back him as they see themselves as gaining a safe family unit away from the misery of friends that they feel abandoned them. This is his theory anyway.”
“How come he hasn’t got custody yet?” Gilly enquired.
“The girls usually figure out that they are being used in the power struggle with his ex and leave. He is obsessed with controlling them so that they will tell the courts exactly what he wants them to, but their intelligence usually wins over in the end.” She stared at the two boys for a second. “I think that you need to help your friend get out before it’s too late.”
“Excuse me?” Kris and Gilly commented in unison.
“I know that the girl is your friend. I worked that out as soon as we started talking. You are obviously concerned for her which will make this all the worse,” the woman stated. Kris just had to ask.
“All the worse how?” His concern for Jess was heightening each second.
“She will be pushed further towards him the more you tell her to steer clear. The more dependent she becomes, the longer it will take her to realise that she is being used. You’re going to have to be subtle if you want to keep her from getting hurt.”
“Kris doesn’t exactly do subtle,” Gilly said grinning.
“Cheers mate,” Kris muttered back. The woman let out a small laugh before making a suggestion.
“Try telling her that you like Kyle. He may start to lose his attraction and you’ll make him suspicious too. A suspicious person is bound to make mistakes. Whatever you do, do not let him get her heart. She may end up broken.” Kris and Gilly watched as she scribbled her phone number down and handed it over. Gilly accepted it and slipped it into his jean pocket.
“Thank you so much,” Kris stated appreciatively. The woman nodded in his direction and then indicated towards her passage. Now that Kris was armed with all the facts, he was going to go all out to get his Princess back.

brilliant

Chapter eighteen

Kris re-entered the flat as Jess was putting on her coat to leave. She looked up to check who it was before turning away. Kris noted this action and struggled over what to do next. After standing awkwardly in the kitchen for a few minutes, he decided to speak up.
“I’m sorry about yesterday.”
“Whatever,” Jess snapped back. Kris sighed before delivering the next line.
“I was just checking that he was good enough for you. And he is. I think he’s nice Jess.” This commented was killing him on the inside. She quickly spun around to face him.
“You like him?” This was the last comment that she had expected.
“He’s important to you and you’re important to me.” Kris took a step towards her. She contemplated ignoring him but found herself being drawn into a hug.
“Thank you,” Jess muttered. She felt Kris nod before pulling away.
“You meeting him now?” he asked. It was using all of his strength to remain cheerful about his comment.
“Yes. You can come if you want.”
“Thanks but I think I’ll just stay around here.” Kris couldn’t imagine anything worse than having to keep up this pretence all afternoon. However, Jess was having none of it.
“Please. You’re important to me too,” she stated directly. Something in her head was screaming that he was a lot more than just important but she pushed it to one side. After gaining no response from Kris, she held her hand out to him. He hesitated before taking it. Their instant attraction hit the both of them but they continued to bury it and headed for the door. The first step towards protecting Jess was in motion.

Omg fantastic!! as usual!!

Jade x x x

OMFG this is awesome
Please please please update soon

Thanks so much.

Chapter nineteen

“What’s he doing here?” Kyle hissed as Jess joined him at the bar.
“He wants to apologise for his actions yesterday,” Jess stated. She was unaware that this was the furthest thing from what Kris actually wanted to do.
“Great,” Kyle muttered sarcastically. His plan was going to be undone if her friends started accepting him. His mind quickly tried to formulate a new idea.
“You coming over then?” he heard Jess ask. Kyle handed her two drinks and followed to the table where Kris was waiting for them. Both guys plastered fake smiles across their faces.
“Jess was telling me that you wanted to apologise,” Kyle said sweetly.
“Yes, I’m sorry for the accusations last night. I hope that we can become friends,” Kris answered back in the same tone of voice. Jess appeared happy that the two most important people in her life were getting along. However, she didn’t trust the current situation entirely. Kris’s sudden turn around had put her on edge. The only thing that she trusted right now was Kyle’s eagerness to become friends with Kris. As far as she was concerned Kyle, unlike Kris, would do anything to make her happy.
“Thank you for the apology,” Kyle muttered. He was struggling to understand Kris’s motives and felt all his work over the past couples of days slipping away. A new idea was becoming increasingly difficult to think up.
“Please don’t think that I’m being rude but why the apology?” he queried.
“Jess is my best friend and, like you, I just want her to be happy.” Kris was enjoying Kyle’s obvious uncertainty over the situation.
“Now that everything is sorted can we just have fun?” Jess cut in.
“Sure,” Kyle commented. He was going to use Kris’s company to his advantage.

OoO I hate Kyle but I love this fic
