CRAZY IN LOVE WITH YOU

A black SUV pulled up to the Smith's mansion, its tires crunching on the gravel driveway. The four of them - Kyle, Max, Anna, and Chloe - stepped out of the vehicle, their faces set with determination. As they entered the mansion, the tension was palpable, like a living, breathing thing.

The group made their way to the living room, where they sat down, their eyes fixed on each other. Moana and Jack descended from the stairs, their faces etched with concern. "Hello, uncle, aunt," Anna greeted, her voice tentative.

Moana's expression softened. "Anna, how are you?" she asked, her voice warm.

"I'm good," Anna replied, her eyes darting to Chloe.

Kyle's gaze narrowed. "How do you know her?" he asked, his deep voice low and menacing.

Chloe's eyes met Kyle's, a flicker of fear dancing in their depths.

"What's going on?" Moana asked, her brow furrowed.

"Speak!" Kyle yelled, making them all flinch.

"What are you talking about?" Jack asked, his eyes scanning the room.

"She knows Mark's daughter," Max replied, his voice low.

Their eyes widened in shock. "Is that true?" Jack asked Chloe, his voice firm but curious.

Chloe nodded, her eyes darting around the room.

With a worried face, Anna said, "Why don't you tell them the truth, Chloe?"

Chloe sighed, her eyes clouding over as she thought of how to reveal her secret. Will they believe her, or will they see her as a traitor? The thought of betraying her family gave her chills down her spine as the tension became stronger.

The air was thick with anticipation, the silence between them oppressive. Chloe's eyes locked onto Kyle's, her voice barely above a whisper. "We were classmates in college in the U.S," she began, her words hesitant.

The room fell silent, the only sound the soft hum of the air conditioner. Max's eyes locked onto Chloe's, his expression unreadable. "And the both of us were very good friends until..." Chloe's voice trailed off, the unspoken words hanging in the air like a challenge.

{FLASHBACK}

The college hallway was a bustling hub of activity, with students rushing to and from class. The walls were adorned with vibrant posters and flyers, advertising everything from club meetings to concerts. The air was thick with the smell of freshly brewed coffee and the sound of lively chatter.

Chloe walked down the hallway, her long, blonde hair bouncing with each step. She was lost in thought, her eyes fixed on the floor, when she heard a familiar voice calling out to her.

"Hey Chloe..."

Chloe looked up to see Susan waving at her, a bright smile plastered on her face. Susan was a vision of loveliness, with her long, curly brown hair and sparkling brown eyes. She walked towards Chloe, her hips swaying to the beat of her own personal rhythm.

"What's up?" Chloe asked, returning Susan's smile.

"Our class president is throwing a birthday party tomorrow evening. You are coming, right?" Susan asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Chloe hesitated, feeling a wave of anxiety wash over her. "I don't feel like going," she replied, trying to sound nonchalant.

Susan's face fell, and she pouted, her lower lip jutting out in a cute, petulant gesture. "Come on, let's go together, please?" she asked, her voice wheedling.

Chloe couldn't resist Susan's cute face, and she knew that she couldn't hide the fact that she had a crush on their class president. She had been too shy to approach him, but maybe, just maybe, this party would be the perfect opportunity to confess her feelings.

"Fine, we'll go together," Chloe agreed, trying to sound casual despite the butterflies fluttering in her stomach.

Susan's face lit up with a bright smile. "Yay! I'll pick you up at 6:30 tomorrow evening, okay?"

"What time is the party starting?" Chloe asked.

"Seven," Susan replied.

"Alright, then I'll see you later. I need to go to class," Chloe said, and Susan nodded as they bid each other goodbye and parted ways.

The next day, the college student birthday party was in full swing at the club. The music pulsed through the air, and the lights flashed in time with the beat. Chloe and Susan walked in, their eyes scanning the crowded room. They made their way to the bar, where they ordered a cup of wine each.

As they sipped their drinks, they watched as people danced and laughed together. Some couples were making out in the corners, while others were cheering and high-fiving each other. Chloe felt nervous, her heart racing with excitement. She had been looking forward to this party all week, and now that she was here, she couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

Just then, a handsome young man with chiseled features and piercing black eyes walked up to them. He was the class president, David, and he had a charming smile that made Chloe's heart skip a beat.

"Hey guys," David said, his voice warm and friendly.

Susan waved at him, and Chloe blushed as she caught his eye. "David..." Susan said, her voice bubbly.

"You both are here," David said, his eyes scanning the room before returning to Chloe and Susan.

"Of course it's your birthday," Susan said, rolling her eyes playfully.

David smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Can I have a dance with you?" he asked Chloe, holding out his hand towards her.

Chloe felt surprised and hesitantly accepted, her heart racing with excitement. David led her to the dance floor, where they were surrounded by other couples. But as the music changed, the other dancers left the floor, leaving only Chloe and David to dance to the rhythm of the tune.

The music was slow and sensual, and Chloe felt herself getting lost in the moment. David's eyes locked onto hers, and she felt a spark of electricity run through her body. She was aware of the warmth of his hand on her waist, the way his body moved in time with hers.

As they danced, Chloe felt like she was in a dream world, where nothing else mattered except the music and the man in front of her.

Meanwhile, a pair of eyes watched them from across the room, their gaze burning with a fierce intensity. The eyes were hidden in the shadows, but they seemed to bore into Chloe's skin, filling her with a sense of unease.

After a few minutes of dancing, Chloe and David left the dance floor, laughing and smiling together. They sat down at the bar, where Susan was waiting for them, a smile on her face.

They clicked their glasses together, the sound of the clinking glass echoing through the air. "To your birthday," Chloe said, smiling at David.

"To new friends," David replied, his eyes locking onto hers.

As they drank their wine, the eyes across the room continued to watch them, their gaze growing more and more intense.

"I need to use the restroom, excuse me," Susan said, getting up from her seat and leaving Chloe and David alone together.

As Chloe and David sat together, the air was electric with tension. They both started to speak at the same time, their voices overlapping in a sweet, awkward harmony.

"Um..." they both said, before bursting out laughing.

"You can go first," David said, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

"No, you go first," Chloe replied, her cheeks flushing pink.

David chuckled. "No, you should. Ladies first," he said, his voice low and smooth.

Chloe nodded, taking a deep breath. "The truth is... I... like you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

David's face lit up with a warm smile. "It's okay if you don't like me..." Chloe began, but David interrupted her, his voice filled with emotion.

"I think we have the same feelings for each other," he said, his eyes locking onto hers.

Chloe's eyes widened in surprise, and she felt a rush of excitement. "You like me?" she asked, her voice trembling.

David nodded, his face inches from hers. "So, will you be my girlfriend?" he asked, his voice low and husky.

Chloe's heart skipped a beat. She nodded shyly, and David pulled her onto his lap, his lips crashing down on hers. The kiss was intense and passionate, with tongues tangling and hearts racing.

As they broke apart for air, Chloe felt like she was floating on cloud nine. Her lips were tingling, and her heart was pounding in her chest. She looked into David's eyes, and saw the same emotions reflected back at her. They gazed at each other, their faces inches apart, their love and sincerity palpable.

But their romantic moment was short-lived, as David's phone rang, breaking the spell. "I'm sorry, it's my mom. Excuse me," he said, getting up from the couch.

Chloe nodded, watching as David walked outside to take the call. She couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and happiness. She had never felt this way about anyone before.

As she waited for David to return, Chloe's mind began to wander. She wondered what their relationship would be like, and what the future held for them.

But her thoughts were interrupted by a sense of unease. She looked around, wondering what was taking David so long. She gulped down the rest of her wine, and decided to go look for him.

As she walked outside, she called out his name, but there was no response. She walked around to the back of the building, and that's when she saw something that made her blood run cold.

David was pinned against the wall, his lips locked with someone else's. Chloe's eyes widened in horror as she realized who the other person was. It was Susan, her friend, making out with the guy she had just agreed to be her boyfriend.

Chloe felt like she had been punched in the gut. She couldn't breathe, and her heart felt like it was breaking into a million pieces. She stood there, frozen in shock, as she watched the two people she trusted most in the world betray her.
