The Possessive Billionaire

Chapter Three

Kyle's Point of View:

"I can't believe I let you talk me into this,” I say looking at Jake.

Jake glances at me smiling sheepishly "you’re my best friend...I mean it can't get bad to the point where you'll wish your gonna die. I don't know how your date looks, but I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that Claire's friend reaches your standard."

"It’s not that I don't want to help you, Jake, it's just that...."

I am cut off by Jake saying "we're here, there at the second table in the left row, Claire's the blonde."

"Yeah ok," I say making my way over to the table with Jake in front.

I can't believe my eyes when I see who my date is. The girl from yesterday. What is she doing here? Is she my date? To say that I'm surprised is an understatement. She is currently focusing on her watch. I wonder if she knows that I'm her date. I guess she can tell I was staring at her because she slowly raises her eyes to meet mine. At first, she seemed confused as to who is standing in front of her but realization slowly sinks in as her pretty brown eyes widen. I don't think she recognizes me until I hear her mumble and say.

"s**t"

I can't help the grin that comes on my face. To think I am worrying that I will not be able to find her and here she is. I glance over to Jake to see Claire giggling while Jake is whispering something to her. I turned giving my attention to my date. I’m surprised to find her standing. My shock turned into admiration and my admiration turned to lust as soon as I see what she is wearing. I didn't peg her for the dark style time of girl but I was pleasantly surprised.

She is the first to speak saying, "well this is embarrassing"

"Yeah," I reply "it kind of is"

She extends her hand for me to shake "hi," she says "I'm Kaitlyn but everyone calls me Kate."

I look at her hand a while before taking it. Normally, I would take payback for running off on me but whenever I look at her, I can never get angry. Her hand feels so soft and perfect in mine. Before she could pull away, I brought her hand to my lips lightly kissing it. I let go of her hand, smirking when I saw her gazing at her hand.

"It's nice to meet you, Kaitlyn, I'm Kyle, but you already know that from the last time we met," I say.

I was happy to see the tell-tale blush on her cheeks from what I said. I quickly take her hand intertwining our fingers in a firm but gentle grip. I turn to Jake and Claire and asked: "Are we ready to go?"

Claire glances at our locked fingers before looking up with a smirk on her lips. She looks at Kaitlyn and then glances at Jake. He smiles at her and nods answering some unasked questions between them.

She turns back to me and asks "can I talk to you for a minute?"

I look at Kaitlyn who just nods her head in agreement.

"Okay," I say stepping away from Kaitlyn and following her away from everyone else.

I am surprised by her next words "do you like Kaitlyn?"

Claire's Point of View:

I can tell that he was shocked that I asked him that question but I can't help myself. I see the way he is looking at her and it is a look of pure lust, admiration, and confusion. It was as if he wasn't quite sure what he was feeling.

He looks me straight in the eyes when he says yes.

Yes, yes, yes. This is great two best friends dating two best friends. My joy was immediately gone when I remembered Ryan, Kaitlyn ex who broke her heart and it left her in fear of loving again. I looked at Kyle again and sighed.

I took a deep breath before saying my next words "I know you like Kaitlyn but she's a tough nut to crack but I'll help you win her heart but let me warn you if you break her heart, I'll break you"

He sighs in relief " I won't I'll take care of her"

"Good," I say "Oh and one more thing don't push it with her today. She's doing this as a favor to me, and to her, this is not a date" and with that, I walked back over to Jake.
