Chapter 3: THE Dare


Ross's POV:

"I never loved you Ross, come on this was only suppose to be a fling. Remember?.." and to those harsh words I woke up from my on repeat dream. Its been a week since Yasmine broke up with me after confessing that I had feelings for her. I had really thought we were feeling each other but clearly not. I guess its for the best because I am sure I am not cut out for the whole "boyfriend/relationship" stuff. I can't believe that a girl almost got a whole Ross Blasé to consider being in a relationship with them.

I got out of bed in a horrible mood about going to work. I mean I don't get why I have to work since my family was filthy rich and I doubt that the pennies that I get from the café meant anything to my mom and dad. They owned several business that make tons of money. But for some reason my mom decided that I had to be "humbled" to know what its like to sweat for income and she was also scared that I would become an entitled brat. So I had been working at the café since summer, and I would be working there till I find out if I want to go to college or not. I went in the bathroom and freshened up and got dressed for work.

"Morning Ross, would you like pancakes for breakfast?" my mother said from behind the kitchen counter. My father in one of the kitchen chairs drinking his coffee, "Boy is this the time to wake up you are going to be late. Just because we own the café doesn't mean you will get special treatment." my father said in a harsh and serious tone. "Axel please don't start so early in the morning besides he won't be that late" my mother said in my defense. "Fine Mary, but you really have to stop babying this boy." We all ate breakfast and right after that I kissed my mother cheek goodbye and left the house.

I shortly arrived at the café after a 10 minute drive. It had already been opened and set up for the day. "Well look who decided to show up." Ben said sarcastically. He was the manager at the café and also my best friend of 10 years. "Don't start with me Mr. Manager" I fired back. He simply laughed and walked over to the cake section. "So how have you been since Yas-" he said but I quickly cut him off, "Please don't mention that name to me again okay. She isn't anything to me anymore" yeah right that was a huge lie, she was my very first crush a girl I saw beyond sex. I really wanted to forget about her so bad but it was very difficult. "Okay I won't speak about her but you should really spend time outside your room more because people think you're heartbroken" Ben said in a worried tone. I felt raged because people thought I was weak enough to be heartbroken, never get heartbroken I cause heartbreak.

The café wasn't pretty busy today but we still had a lot of customers. I was serving a table when I turned my direction towards the door and my heart literally stopped beating. Yasmine walked in with a guy that definitely wasn't a friend because they were holding hands with their fingers intertwined together. I quickly made my way towards the kitchen to catch my breath. "Ross dude you okay?" Ben walked over looking worried. "Yasmine is here with some dude." I said while feeling so angry. What the hell did she have to do that for? And out of all the cafe's in town why this one? " Just stay here I will serve their table ok?.." Ben said while walking away "No I will do it" I said while walking out "But.." Ben tried responding but I was already out the door. I walked over to the table. " Hey are you guys ready to order?" I said with a annoyed tone looking straight into Yasmine's eyes. " Yeah I will have a vanilla cake and strawberry shake and my girlfriend will have a chocolate cake with a vanilla shake." the man answered while rubbing Yasmine's hand. "Sure thing." I said while walking away . I came back with the order shortly after. I placed them on the table and just as I was about to walk away.." Hey man, mind taking a picture of us?" the boyfriend said and I immediately turned my head towards Yasmine. "Please, me and my boyfriend are celebrating our one month anniversary" Yasmine said while kissing her boyfriend on the cheek.

"Do I look like a fuckin photographer to you, I don't give any fucks why you are here or how many months you have been together. Just finish your food and get your asses out of here!" I yelled and they both looked at me with shocked expressions. " I am so sorry about that Ross doesn't like taking photo's a lot excuse his behavior" Ben said while trying to calm me down. "Get your fuckin staff to have respect for their customers." the guy said while look me in the eye. I swear I would have killed him if it weren't for Ben. " Of course. Now how about I take that picture for you guys?" Ben said and I clicked my tongue while walking away. After 30 minutes of them being in my space they decided to leave but not after Yasmine laughed at the top of her lungs a couple of times just to get my attention while they ate and fed each other. The guy didn't bother tipping me I just laughed in my head because I could have bought his whole outfit with my monthly salary.

"Ross man you got it bad don't you?" Danny said. Danny was also a waiter and he loved annoying the shit out of me. "What are you talking about?" I responded. " Come on its obvious that you got whipped by Yasmine. The Bad Boy of the town is not all that after all." he responded with a cocky tone. "I don't think you know me very well but if you did you would know that I don't get whipped?" I fought back. " Oh yeah prove it." I shot back. " I don't have to do anything."

"What too heartbroken to do some proving?" he responded. " No I am not. I cause heartbreak not the other way around." I fired back. " See that girl over there?" I turned to look at the girl. She had two puffy ponytails, brown glowing skin, big eyes and pink lips along with freckles too. She was beautiful I have to admit. "Yeah I see her". " I dare you to date her and break her heart. You know, prove that your the heartbreaker that you are" he responded. I had to build up my reputation and I couldn't bare the thought of being called whipped or weak. "Consider it done." I responded. " If you fail I guess I will take the spot of best player in town." he said while walking away. I walked over to the girl, and she looked even more beautiful closer although she didn't look like she felt beautiful.

"Having a rough day Angel?" I asked and I swear she was about to kill me but she eased her stare. "Yeah, can I get a slice of cake?" she said while looking down at her hands. She didn't mention the flavor but I figured she needed chocolate to brighten her mood. I placed the cake in front of her, "Chocolate cake for the fine brown-skinned beauty" I said while looking at her, she looked surprised and then smiled while taking a bite. "My favorite! Mhhh. Thanks" she said while eating the cake and dying from enjoying it. "It sure is tasty today" she said in a flirty manner while licking her lips and I swear I almost died from that sight and I gladly joined the game.

"Maybe you could give me your number and I could keep on giving you tasty stuff to snack on" I said while not breaking eye contact. "Sure I would love to taste all the tasty stuff you have to offer." she answered while having a smirk on her face. I handed her my phone and she typed in her number. I took it back and read her name, "Melinda?" it was such a beautiful name. She blushed as I said it which made me blush lightly. I turned to walk away when I gave her one last glance" Well Melinda...expect a call from Ross Blasé by tonight." with that I walked off. She left shortly. And I continued my shift.

"Please tell me what Danny told me is a joke." Ben said looking very tired. " If you are asking about my dare then his right. Its time I got my reputation back." I said like a man on a mission. " Can I talk you out of this?" he asked while knowing the answer. "No so don't bother" I fired back. "Oh well I guess I have to sit back and watch a movie I have front row seats to." he said while chuckling to himself.

I arrived home and went up to my room. I opened my phone and dialed up Melinda. "Hello who the hell is this?" she answered in a harsh tone. " Woah there Angel, its Ross. I am guessing the chocolate cake wore off?" I answered. " Sorry I am guessing it did wear off" she said while laughing. "Then maybe I could treat you tomorrow to some more?" I said while crossing my fingers for her to say yes. "Sure I would love that." she responded. "The café at 3 pm" I said quickly. "Ok see you there. Bye" and with that I hung up.

I have to get this girl to love me and then break her heart. Nothing I haven't done yet so its a piece of cake. Melinda, Angel you are my next target no hard feelings right?...

Melinda's POV

After Ross's call I went down for dinner. My mom made my favorite pizza and we sat down. We were watching 90 day fiancé when the door bell rang and I got up to answer it. "Delivery for Melinda Thor." the delivery guy said. I signed and shut the door. I opened the box and immediately went dead inside out. "Sorry mom I am really tired I have to go sleep." I said while walking to my room.

The box contained my clothes and pictures of me and Henry. I don't understand why he would do this? Why couldn't he just burn it for all I care. Or did his girlfriend ask him to do this? I dialed his number it rang for a couple of seconds before it got answered. "Hello?" a soft female voice spoke through the phone and I knew who it was. " Yasmine babe who is on the phone come back to bed I am sure its no one important." Henry's voice echoed in the background. "Yasmine come on?".
