Chương 23: Charm Her

The day went on and Adam busied himself doing the pending office work in his study. Later on, in the evening, Adam was going through some documents when his phone rang. He picked it up to see BC with a poop emoji flashing on the screen. It was Blake who had called him. He picked it up reluctantly.

Blake: "Hey dude! What's up?"

Adam: "Nothing out of the ordinary."

Blake: "What's with this boring reply of yours. Can't you say something else?"

Adam: "If you called me just to have a little chit chat, then I am going to cut the call."

Blake: "Hey, hey! Wait!!! I am going to the point. Are you free right now?"

Adam: "Yeah!"

Blake: "Then come over. The usual place."

Adam: "Okay. I will be there in an hour or so."

Adam went to his room, freshened up quickly and changed into a black long-sleeved t-shirt which hugged his body perfectly, and paired it with dark blue fitted jeans that stopped right over his ankles. He chose a pair of black sneakers to go with the outfit.

On his way outside, he picked up the keys of his black Maserati and dark brown shades.

A few minutes later a black Maserati was on its way to the mountain track in the outskirts of the city.

Adam arrived there and found Blake already waiting for him. Over the years, since Adam and Blake had gotten their driver's license, they come here every now and then.

It was a dirt track made naturally, which started from the foot of the mountain up to the top. Whenever they had some free time on the weekend, they would come here to get a break from their hectic lives and drive to the heart's content.

"The one who reached the top first is the winner." Blake spoke up after greeting Adam. "You know the rules, the loser will do whatever the winner asked him to."

"Hmm." Adam nodded his head.

Both of them got into their own cars and started them, their windows were rolled down.

"One!" Blake started the countdown.

"Two!"

"Three!"

The cars roared and went on their ways. Two cars, a black and the other one red, could be seen speeding up the mountain, blowing off the dust as they go.

All the way up to the top, one tried to overtake the other while trying to reach the destination to claim the title of the winner.

Blake was leading most of the time. He was elated, he had just the right thing to ask Adam. "Hehehehe! I am going to have so much fun." He thought out loud.

He was already celebrating his victory but on the last turn Adam overtook him easily. Reaching the top flat ground of the dirt track, Adam stepped on the breaks, drifting on the dirt into a beautiful half circle. Adam stepped out of his car just as Blake pulled up his car next to him.

Blake was fuming mad. "You dumb***! You do this every single time."

Adam couldn't help but chuckle at his actions.

"You showoff. Why do you have to pretend to lose when you always over take me at the last moment." Blake was shouting at the top of his lungs.

"It's not my fault that you can't win against me." Adam gave him a smirk.

"Here I was thinking that I can win this time since your mind is clouded these days." Blake pouted.

"Stop being a sore loser man." Adam said. "Come here, I want my winning prize right now."

"What do you want? I haven't brought much cash and I left my credit card at home." Blake replied looking everywhere but at him.

"Do you really think that I need your money? I need advice, a sincere one." Adam answered him, rolling his eyes.

"About what?" Blake asked, sitting on the hood of his car.

Adam sat next to him and looked into the distance, taking in the beautiful surroundings.

"I really like her man." Adam said.

"Oh! Someone's finally accepting their feelings." Blake teased him.

"Shut up and listen to me." Adam retorted. "I made her say yes to be my friend. But I want more than that, way more." Adam spoke up seriously.

"Woah man! You really did that? Looks like someone's eager." Blake was shocked.

"So, how should I make her feel something for me? She clearly only sees me as a friend and not a close one at that too." Adam asked, ignoring what he said.

"It's actually really simple dude." Blake replied.

"What?" Adam asked in confusion.

"Charm her." Blake replied with only two words.

"Explain!" Adam narrowed his eyes at him

"Why do you think every other girl drools over you? Why are they so fascinated by you, ready to throw themselves on you? That's because you are damn handsome. So, use your charms for her as well. I don't think that she can ignore you forever ." Blake elaborated slowly to him.
