Gamble

(Ya guys missed me?? X3 {Nah, don't take that so seriously.}

Get ready for another Tord x Tom~

Maybe.

enjoy~)

Tord's P.O.V

I slowly sit up from my bed, grabbing my phone as it rings. Is it another stupid notification or text again?

"Disturbing my sleep.." I murmur, I turn my phone on and it displayed a notification from Facebook. I snorted when I read: Thomas Ridgee uploaded a new photo.

I smirk a bit as I click on the notification, bringing up a photo of Thomas with a girl, which I expected to be a friend. I hope.

"Look at you.." I laughed, observing the changes of his features. How his beautiful, unique eyes weren't as dull as they were before. How his hair locks into a soothing look. How his cheeks were slightly flushed in the shade of red.

He looks more handsome..

Scratch that.

He absolutely looks beautiful. More beautiful than before. It's so annoying...

I groan as I felt my own hand tighten itself around my phone. It's just so annoying how he looks so good after we broke up. After I ended it. I couldn't stop staring until I heard my door open.

"Yo, Tord?"

I jolt up in surprise, throwing my phone off in the air and on to the floor. I turn my head towards the door and saw Paul wearing an apologetic look,

"Sorry, did I interrupted something?" Paul asks, walking inside of my room, carrying a bunch of boxes. I roll my eyes, smiling at him, "Yeah, kinda?"

"Anyways.. these are the boxes of the papers you have to sign up for the meeting for our partnership with Patryk's company and the other ones..." Paul says as he lays the boxes on the floor gently before smiling back to me.

I could see the amount of trollness in his eyes. Paul then crosses his arms, walking back to the door and lean over the door frame,

"Still missing him?" He asked,

I scoffed, "ha! No..?"

"I saw you staring at his new photo in Facebook. This could have played off better if you actually didn't think for yourself only and admit surrender to that stupid gamble. Heck, you even used Ridgewall and now you're the one who's regretting it."

I look down on the floor before standing up and picking up my phone off the ground. I looked at his photo again, frowning a bit. I let out a sigh,

"It's just so annoying. How he is able to be this--" I showed up my phone to him, "BEAUTIFUL THAN BEFORE!!"

He laughed, "yeah, yeah, Stalker. Also just because it's your day off as a CEO, doesn't mean you get to stare at your 'ex''s photo up on facebook for the next 17 hours of your life. Now, hurry up and sign those papers so I can get my ass to the company to submit those."

With that said, Paul left with a smug look on his face. Sheesh, just because he and Patryk were officially together doesn't mean he has to be that smug.

I stand up as I look at my phone again, "stupid fucking.. jehovah." I mumble as I sit on the edge of my bed, scrolling down on the photo to read the comments.

"Damn, you look good!"
"Got a girl already?"
"Already moved on? Go boi!"
"Hot af."

I rolled my eyes before I clicked on the likes, reading and memorising every name. Trying to remember if I knew all the people whom liked his photo. One on particular, actually caught my attention.

It was a guy, a guy that I don't know anything of.

Feeling mixed emotions, I stomped my foot rapidly in annoyance.

"Who is he?" I mumble before blinking back into reality. I smiled before I throw my head back, chuckling to myself, "Oh right! I'm not your 'boyfriend' anymore!!" I say sarcastically.

I look at Thomas's photo again. I still could remember how he tried to hold his tears back as I was explaining what was the gamble all about.

My heart was aching throughout the whole talk but I managed to bottle my feelings up. Just smiling and laughing fakely as Thomas was hanging his head low.

Before I drove away he told me that he loves me one last time before turning his back on me. Edd and Matt never knew anything about our relationship since we've been quiet about it.

But now, I'm thinking of nothing but Thomas being mine again, is it really necessary to add 'again' in that sentence?..

I only used him on a stupid gamble.

This really sucks, "even though you weren't mine in the first place. Why do I feel like you've been taken away?"

-------------

"Alright, I'm here." I said as entered the room full of other CEO's from other companies as well.

They all stood up and bowed to me before sitting down again. I walked up on an empty chair. Noticing that the chair beside me was also empty.

I looked over to Patryk, "who's the last one?" I asked. He then replied, "He's already here."

"I'm sorry, I'm late." A familiar voice spoke up, when I heard it my head immediately shot up, looking for the source of the voice. Finding none other than Thomas as he bowed down and greeted.

-------------

Throughout the whole damn meeting, I kept on looking over at Thomas. Staring at him intensely as all of the other CEO's including Thomas were discussing about how this partnership is actually going to work.

In the end. The meeting went pretty well. With me only the one to stay quiet and stare at Thomas. He didn't even spare a small glance at me. He just greeted me, but his eyes were elsewhere. It annoyed me.

Finally, finding him alone in the restroom I locked the door, walked over to him. Looking at him with a frown,

"Uhh.. hey?" He greets with an awkward smile. I started out with a small chuckles, "so.. you've changed a bit.. a lot actually...?"

Thomas smiled as he chuckles as well, "how about you? You seem to.. change a bit as well? Except for those horns."

We laughed together, I found it quite relaxing to be within his presence again. It makes me feel like I'm the only one he sees.
Thomas went back to folding his sleeves, I scratch my nape nervously, "So... I didn't know you were a CEO in one of the companies we were--"

"You didn't have to know anything. You don't have the right as well." He spat, glaring at me. Telling me to back off before turning away and wash his hands. I took a deep breath, trying to keep the feeling of anger and sadness inside myself.

I lean back on the sink, clenching my fists behind my back, "so.. that girl in that photo--"

"Shut up and get to the point you fucking asshole."

I could hear the sarcasm and anger in his voice. I straighten up on where I was leaning. Keeping my tears in and restraining myself from having the need to touch him and squeeze him tight. I honestly just want to hold him.. hug him.

Thomas turns to me, still letting the water run. He was looking at me with one of his brows raised.

I stared into his unique eyes.. it was absolutely beautiful. I can't believe I was so stupid to use Thomas.. I admit it. I only used him at first because I wanted him to be hurt because he was my enemy.

And I did.

I hurt him..

"Just how? Is replacing me that easy for you?" I finally asked without breaking any tears off in my eyes.

"What?"

Thomas leans closer to me, I stepped back in surprise.

"There's no need for replacing since I only used you in a gamble in the first place as well."

He then walked passed me. Unlocking the door and slamming it behind me..
