Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

*AT CRESCENT HIGH*

Classes were over so the students around were all rushing home, Sandy included. She picked up her school bag and bounced happily out of the school hallway.

She was really happy after the talk she had with Ariel. Even though she was planning on saying goodbye to Hillary, she noticed how conflicted he looked yesterday. He was finally noticing her.

He hadn’t called her since yesterday but he left messages for her which he has never done before. He was the last person to text her last night before she fell asleep and this morning, she woke up to a ‘good morning’ voice note from him.

She had always had dreams and fantasies about this moment. She never expected that it would actually happen, this soon. At this rate, he was bound to fall for her.

Even though she tries to act like she had gotten over him, only God and herself knows how much she always tries to control herself in from of him. Like yesterday, when he asked her on that date, it took every will in her to refuse him.

And when he was surprised about her refusal, she felt really sorry and guilty towards him but she still tried her best not to show it. Right now, all that’s on her mind was how she’ll be able to control herself in front of him if she perhaps bump into him again.

She got to the parking lot and was about to head to her car when her phone started ringing. She pulled it out of her bag and smiled when she saw Hillary’s name flashing on the screen.

“It’s like he knows that I was thinking about him.” She said to herself as her insides bubbled with happiness.

She was about to pick the call when someone tapped her from the back. It was Marcus, one of the boys in her class. He was a new student and was finding it hard to adjust to his new environment so Sandy was instructed by the head teacher to guide him since she was the brightest in her class.

“Sandy.” He called and she turned to face him.

“Marcus.” She called out as she removed her attention from her ringing phone.

“I wanted to return the note you lent to me.” He said as he stretched her book to her.

“Were you able to do want you wanted with it?” She asked.

“Yes, thank you once again. I really appreciate your gesture.”

“You’re welcome. You can come to me if you’re finding it hard to understand the topics that were taught.”

“I’m so glad that you offered, there are some things I don’t really understand.”

“Okay, we can schedule a class anytime we are both free.” Sandy said.

“That’s great, but can I have your number, if something important comes up.” He requested.

“Yeah sure, your phone.” He placed his unlocked phone on her outstretched hand and she typed in her number before giving it back to him. He dailed the number she typed amd smiled when her phone started ringing.

“Don’t forget to save my number.”

“Sure.”

“I’ll see you at school tomorrow then.” He said with a smile before leaving. After he had left, Sandy turned on her heels and walked towards her car, totally forgetting about Hillary’s call.

************************************

About ten feet from where Sandy was, Hillary stood beside his car and watched as she talked and smiled to the unknown guy before she left, totally ignoring his call. He wanted to drive her home but didn’t expect to see such a scene.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

He never believed that a day would come when Sandy would ignore him. Is she that hellbent on getting over him?? He felt his heart bubbling in anger and jealousy as the image of her smiling at the guy flashed through his mind.

Her smiles were meant for him alone. There’s no one that would ever steal that from him, not even her new lover. He just has to make her fall in love with him again.

She can never have eyes for any other guy except him. He’ll make sure of that.

“I want you to apologize to me, sincerely and louder than the last time so I can actually hear you this time.” I demanded, leaving no room for his excuses.

He stared at me silently like he was contemplating about what to say, or what excuse to give.

“Do I really have to say it??” He asked after being silent for a while.

“You do.” I answered.

“But I’ve already told you before.” He argued.

“Will it kill you to just say sorry again? It isn’t going to remove any pert of you.”

When I realized that he was conflicted, he didn’t want to say it, I shook my head and stood up.

“It’s fine, you don’t have to.” I muttered and was about to leave when he suddenly grab my arm.

“Wait..” He said. I turned to stare at him as I waited for him to talk. He sighed before saying;

“I’m sorry..” He muttered.

“I can’t hear you.” I teased even though I heard him clearly the first time.

“I said I’m sorry.” He said again, louder than the first.

“Why are you apologizing??”

“For being a douchebag towards you, suspecting you, for locking you up in that room and for all the things I don’t remember doing.” He said everything very fast as if something hot was in his mouth.

I smiled and turned my body fully to face him.

“That wasn’t so hard was it??” I asked as I placed my hand on his cheek. He didn’t reply me, instead he kept his gaze on me with am unreadable expression on his face.

“Are you happy now?” He asked as he placed his palm on mine that was still on his cheek.

“Yeah, only if you promise to not be the annoying asshole you used to be.” I warned.

“I can’t make such promises with you.” He whispered, making me chuckle softly while he smiled at me.

“I can’t promise not to be an annoying brat with you either.” I said.

“It’s fine. Like I said before, I love it when you get all feisty and sassy with me. It’s cute.” He muttered as he pinched my cheek slightly.

“Don’t flatter me. You would be screaming in anger whenever I decide to act that way with you.”

“But you still do it anyway.”

“Yeah. Annoying you is surprisingly fun.”

“Really??” Adrain asked as he suddenly stood up from were he sat, towering over me. I had to raise my head up so I could see his beautiful and fascinating green orbs clearly.

“Yeah.” He wrapped his hands around my waist and lifted me to sit on the table. He spread my legs and stepped in between them before wrapping them around his torso.

“Well then, you have my permission to do it however you like.” He muttered as he brought his face dangerously close to mine.

“Who said I needed your permission?” I asked as I wrapped my hands around his neck.

He smiled before he slammed his lips on mine, engaging me in a very deep and hot kiss.
