Bab 52: Chapter 10: Part 7 - Everyday we're Spiraling~
= Chris POV =
" Chris, I have work in the morning, I can't…Please don't mark me, I don't want to lose my job" Sarah pleaded and tried to move away, but I blocked her escape with my other arm, keeping her where I wanted her.
"What if I wanted you to?" I said into her neck, but drew back for the sake of her reputation.
"How do I make you take back what you said about Ruby? How do I make you forget her completely? Will this much do?" I asked and cupped her face, turning it towards me, kissing her deeply again. This time Sarah pushed back against me and I let her, however I kept my body where it was even though I wasn't touching her anymore.
"Tell me this is enough. Tell me you will fall out of love for her, or else I will be forced to do something more extreme" I said, looking at her, hoping that she would pick up what I was putting down...or more like, pushing down.

"That still doesn't explain what any of that has to do with who I like. I can't just turn my feelings for someone off and on again. This is not a request I think I can do for you honestly", she said breathlessly.
I froze. My hands balled into fists in the soft sheets and I felt that same stabbing pain again in my heart.
I moved back and shook her hand off my wrist, standing back and looking out her window. I knew I had no right to have these feelings, but I did. Jealously was coursing through my body and it felt like nothing I had ever felt before in my life.
"Chris?" Sarah said, sitting up and looking at me expectantly.
I turned to her, feeling my heart grow cold. I stared at her, wishing that I could somehow erase all the events that had led up to the point of her meeting Ruby, but I had to admit it was my fault. I told her to find a job. I pressured her into it and she complied. Nothing she had done up until this point was wrong at all. And yet I hated every minute of her working there, with that human koala clinging to her like she was a tasty eucalyptus tree.
"It's a request" I finally said.
"Sorry, are you saying, you are requesting that I stop having feelings for Ruby?" Sarah asked, looking even more bewildered.
"Yes. No. I mean..." I said and ran my hand through my hair " Ok my request is that you fall out of love for Ruby"
"How does that-"
"And until you do, I'm going to make you forget her" I added.
"Make me?" Sarah asked, her eyes growing wide again.
I leaned in so that our faces were inches away from each other.
"Yes. Make you. Whatever she can do, I can do better, trust" I said and smirked, straightening up again, feeling confidence return.
"And don't forget that as long as you are under contract, the requests are not optional, and they are non-negotiable. Until you have transferred me the full amount you owe, I expect you to live up to your end of this agreement. If you don't fall out of love for Ruby, and you don't make up the money you owe, you should probably find somewhere else to live - perhaps Ruby has a spare room" I added and then grabbed her arm, pulling her off the bed. She dizzily stumbled forward, right into my awaiting arms. Her curls fluttered around her face as she, still breathing heavily, braced herself against my chest.
I tilted her face up and looked into those large eyes, full of apprehension and confusion, and I sighed. I wonder how she looked up at Ruby when she was in Ruby's arms.
"It's getting late, clean up, and come to bed" I instructed and released her, leaving her behind to her thoughts in her cute gamer-girl room.
I walked into my bedroom and sat on the bed. Sarah hadn't come in yet and I was glad because I was freaking out. Why the hell did I have to go and say something so stupid? How exactly did I think this would work? Sarah was right, you can't just turn off feelings for someone…if that were the case I would have gotten over Sarah years ago.
I put my face in my hands and silently screamed. Every day being with Sarah felt like I was constantly spiralling. There was a better way to handle this situation, but every time I felt like I had a handle on things, it was just the illusion of control.
I sighed and leaned back against the headboard. I wouldn't be surprised if Sarah walked out right now. What kind of an environment was I creating here for her? However, the thought of Ruby being the one to hold her…to touch her…to have her…it was pushing me over the edge. I was doing everything in my power not to say it…but I wanted to say it. I wanted to request it so badly, but that…that would be the end of Sarah, and I couldn't do that to her…right?
I needed to separate them, but I couldn't just outright ask her too….no. That would crush her. But I needed to think of an alternative, or something, anything, to make sure that Ruby's grubby claws didn't sink into her any further than they already had. Sarah was mine.
I heard footsteps approach and I sat up. Sarah's slender fingers reached out first and wrapped themselves around the edge of the doorframe as if waiting for something to happen. I heard her take a deep breath, and then walk in, and my breath caught in my throat. Just how tired had I been, to not realise that I've been sleeping next to, every night, a literal goddess?
