17 A Killing Intent
~ Okay I'm on my way ~
John said.
Chris went back inside his car and waited for almost an hour before John appeared.
" Is this the definition of "quick" in your dictionary ? "
Chris said in an embittered tone.
" Sorry man I had to spend some extra minutes in bed ".
He took a glance at Chris's new car before he asked excitedly.
" Well look at this new babe! When did you get it ? "
" A couple of days ago. Anyway, get in the car and Let's go somewhere quiet. I need to clear my mind a bit before we get down to business ".
Chris said with a sad expression on his face.
" By the way, why were you angry when you called me earlier ? and why do I have a feeling that it's something related to me somehow ? "
He kept silent for a moment before he spoke in a calm voice.
"It's Joleen. After a long time of hesitating, I finally invited her to dinner because I wanted to confess my feelings properly. But she wanted to bring Edward too. Can you imagine how dense your little sister is ? "
John bursted into an uncontrollable laughter as he listened to Chris's story.
"Why the hell are you laughing? I'm being dead serious here ! "
Chris yelled.
"I'm sorry I couldn't help it. But it's a good thing you didn't say anything to her. I don't think you should confess, at least not now ".
" Why not? You know more than anyone how crazy I am about her. I love her to the point that I get a strong killing intent each time I see that arrogant jerk with her ".
Chris said while forcibly grabbing the car's driving wheel.
" I know all that, and I don't like him either. But she's deeply in love with him and that's a fact that we can't just ignore. She'll definitely reject and avoid you if you express your feelings now ". John said thoughtfully.
" Then what do you suggest ? I can't just let him have her. I'll never give up on her no matter what ".
" We'll have to separate them first. I haven't thought of a way yet, but I'm not letting him have her either. So don't worry ".
Chris felt a kind of relief after hearing John's words.
