RYAN.

"Fuck,fuck,fuck" I cursed under my breath as I watched Claire walk away angrily.

"Claire...." I called quietly, but she was already out of earshot but not out of the restaurant yet.

I ran my fingers through my hair, regretting the words I said to her. The only solution to my problems is walking away right now.

I fucked this up. I always fuck things up and I've done it again.

"Well?..." I heard Cassie's high pitched voice.

"Well what?!" I snapped at her

"Hey easy...." Roy's voice was soft and calming "A normal guy would go after her"

Cassie chuckled "Did you forget Ryan is an abnormal guy?"

Is that how even my close family members view me? My expression showed nonchalance to her hurtful words,but I knew within me that those words affected me.

"I'm not abnormal" I blurted out, strongly disagreeing with her.

I was conscious of the gawks I got as the words came out.

"Geez, people,stop gaping at me" I rolled my eyes to feign indifference "I'm really normal. Why is that so ha

    CLAIRE.I was dumbfounded at Ryan's action. His hands roaming my body, his voice going seductively whispery in my ear and then as if that wasn't enough, perceiving the heavenly scent of his cologne were all too much for me to handle at once. I felt an unexplainable spark from his touches."Will you go to the party?" I heard him asking,his hands roaming my back soothingly.Why are bad people experts at good things. I swallowed. "Is that uhm...is....is that uhh..." I stammered, getting affected by his touch as I can't remember the last time I got touched that way.Help me please, what was I about to say again?"Act affectionate for once" He ordered. "What...what the hell do you want me to do?" I almost wanted snap at him but his hands on my body was really affecting my mode of speech and would not allow me to."I don't know okay? Just do something!"That rough whisper again.I pouted my lips,unsure of what to do at the moment. I looked at him and placed both of my hands on his broad

  • A Partner For The Rich Playboy   15... Party...

    RYAN. I studied Claire's reaction as she scanned Wally's environment and I could see she was impressed. Her eyes had shone brightly like she was in a wonderland. She smiled adorably at me. "I love this place. It's so beautiful"It's been a while she gave me a smile as nice as that, I honestly miss that. Wally's party is just like old times, the settings is exactly like the high school one. The guy doesn't wanna grow up. "Wow, I love this party already" Claire commented beside me. I glanced at her face, she was grinning from ear to ear. Her pretty face was glowing and her white pearly teeth added to her beauty. I looked around me, I caught some guys staring lustfully at her while she's oblivious to their stares. I wrapped my hands around her bare shoulder possessively, surprising Claire and myself too. My hands got the unfamiliar light tingles I feel from making physical contact with her. It happened the last time I touched her too. Claire gave me a sharp questioning look, stif

    CLAIRE. I didn't notice when I got encircled by some girls in the party,until one of them moved closer to me and started to mock me. What did I ever do to any of them?I recognized most of them as the girls that yelled Ryan's name, desperately wanting his attention. They've been calling me all sort of names,and I made sure I threw back a snarky reply,even though deep down, I was hurt by their mockery of me. "Look at her..." One of them waved her left hand around me scornfully "She doesn't even look sexy"Her other friends laughed mockingly, attracting attention from few party attenders.I rolled my eyes. These girls should grow up. Are they gonna fight me because they saw me with Ryan? He probably slept with all of them. "Look here dumbass,he's only gonna sleep with you and dump you like trash" Another bikini girl added. I guess that's what he did to them. "You see,this care he's showing now is not gonna last" Another one told me. I rolled my eyes. "Okay? So?" They were shock

  • A Partner For The Rich Playboy   17...I don't want you to cry anymore...

    RYAN. What do you do to stop a girl from crying?Nothing came to my head at first. Her tears affected me than I would like to admit. Everything about Claire is easily comprehensive and at the same time a puzzle. Seeing her cry moved my heart and for the first time in years,I felt a strange warmness within me. I stared at her inquisitively. Why the hell is she crying? Was I being too harsh on her or something? Or was it Brenda and her mean friends? I swear if the girls are the cause of her tears.... I stopped my thoughts from going darker to focus on Claire. When I'd noticed her shakiness minutes ago, I thought it was because of the cold from her soaked clothes,then suddenly, the childish side of her was shown right in front of me. Her tears kept flowing freely down to her smooth cheeks. After thinking of everything I could do to make her stop crying but couldn't find a single solution,I relaxed and didn't stop staring at her. I never knew a girl could remain beautiful even when s

    CLAIRE.Roy is a nice guy,he makes people smile and comfortable. He told me in a way of advice not to think about what people say about Ryan and I should focus on the good sides of Ryan. I briefly searched for a good side but I couldn't even get one, though he had amazed me with his action earlier.Ryan comforting me isn't something that get to happen often, my heart knew that and had made lots of drumming sounds while he was holding me in his arms. The big question is; Why did he do that?Is it all part of this fake dating romance?Or he's just being nice?Or did he get a sermon somewhere about kindness?I can't seem to get a solid reason why he was nice to me the way he was minutes ago. Roy walked me to the entrance of the room, promising to stay outside by the door till Ryan comes back. The empty bedroom was richly designed to a Prince's taste. This Wally guy definitely has lots of cash. I sat on the bed, wondering why Charles wanna talk to Ryan alone. Charles is probably beati

  • A Partner For The Rich Playboy   19... Grandma Tessa's birthday...

    RYAN.Today is Grandma Tessa's birthday. I was anxious as hell to attend the little party, I almost held Claire's hand for calmness. Yes, it's just a little party among family members, but that's what makes it a dreading party because I might as well be called 'the centre of attraction'. You see, I'm viewed as the black sheep of the family and in gatherings like this one I'm about to walk into,all attention is usually on me,like they're waiting for me to do something really bad at any moment. I had a lots of negative 'what ifs' roaming on my mind. What if Grandma Tessa is displeased to see me as her grandson? I mean, She's my granny,so I respect her a lot. What if she doesn't accept my gifts?What if my parents,especially my dad, suddenly remembers the shitty things I did in the past? I'm not exactly the son of the year, I'm certain I can never be one. Claire had voiced out compliments about each and everything in my parents house till I had to snap at her to stop. My edginess w

  • A Partner For The Rich Playboy   20... I'm gonna kiss you now...

    CLAIRE. Have you ever felt your heart beat so fast and loud, not because you're in love,but beating fast out fear of being exposed that you'd think it'll rip out of your chest? Well that's how I feel right now. The different direct stares from Ryan's family wasn't helping matters at all,it made things worse. I looked at Ryan, silently communicating with him to help out since he was the one that got us into the mess. Damn his poker face, I can't read his expression. "Is it been a long time you've known each other?" One of Ryan's aunt questioned. "Yes..." I answered."No..." He replied. Uh uh. I mentally slapped my hand over my forehead, this is so messed up already. Ryan's dad hummed, drawling the sound. "Interesting""What Claire meant was...Yes, it's been a while we've known each other but not on an intimate level" Ryan cleared up. His grandma grinned at us,her dimples popping up as she did. The old woman looks more like his mother while his mother could easily pass as his

  • A Partner For The Rich Playboy   21... Your relationship with Claire...

    RYAN. Claire's dark eyes, they are so admirable. Will I ever get tired of staring at them? Nah. She shut her eyes and parted her lips slightly. That's very tempting,but Claire being Claire gave me the disappointment of my life when she abruptly opened her eyes. She looked sideways then feigned a surprised and embarrassed look. "Heyyyyy Ryan's cousin" Her voice was high pitched. Damn this girl. She had other plans unknown to me. I dipped my fingers into her skin to make her feel how torqued off I was at her stubbornness. Tyler smiled. His smile was for Claire only,the guy hates me too much to smile at me. "I see you guys are...." He searched for the right word to be polite in Claire's presence. "Busy...."Claire giggled, holding my shoulders "Yeahhh, something like that""Well,I'm leaving now. I've also gotta attend to something and I'll be back later" He said and got into his car swiftly. We didn't even exchange a simple nod. I watched him drive out before distancing my body from

    CLAIRE. I feel my heart softening towards Ryan. I took a sharp breath. "Ryan, you are messing my head up" "I want you back, Claire. I want you for real this time..."I want him in my life too, but... "The contract" I mentioned. "Fuck the contract, it's gonna get terminated" He pushed back his full hair. "I just want you in my life. I wasn't able to sleep well, or eat well. I couldn't even think straight, I felt like I've lost you forever" He whispered. It was obvious he is not the normal Ryan I know, some things are not right about him. I observed him again, and I noticed he lost weight, his dark eyes told me he wasn't getting enough rest and the sincerity in his eyes is so clear and bright, I don't think that can be faked. I gazed at him speechlessly, suppressing the urge to fall into his arms. "What can I do to make you accept me?" He asked slowly. I sighed. "I can go on my kneels right now, right here if you want" He said, rushing his words and sounding eager. I couldn't h

  • A Partner For The Rich Playboy   76...He hurt you, Claire...

    CLAIRE. I cried on Terry's shoulder, and he was nice enough not to ask me questions. When I got home earlier today, he noticed something was off about me and walked after me to my bedroom. As soon as he entered, I unintentionally broke down in front of him. "I feel so down, Terry. It hurts so much" I poured out with croaked voice. "I know, I know" he whispered, smoothening my hair with his palm "I'm gonna kill him"I raised my head from his shoulder to look at him squarely "Please, don't do that, don't hurt him""But, he hurt you" he reminded me softly. "I still love him" I sobbed. He sighed, raking his fingers through his hair. "And please don't tell Charles about any of this" I pleaded, holding his arm."Including the fake relationship?" He asked with a frown. "Yes, please"He reluctantly nodded in agreement "Okay""Thank you"I placed my head on his shoulder to continue my weeping. I can't believe I'm crying over a guy I never had a real relationship with. I'm just so stupi

    CLAIRE. "He proposed to you after the date?" Terry questioned, eyeing the ring from where he sat in the living room. It took me five seconds to answer him as the memory of the day Ryan gave me the ring flashed to my head, I smiled "Yeah, he did"He tilted his head "And you said yes to a fake marriage?" "Lower the volume of your voice, my uncle might hear you" I warned him sternly. "Sorry" he whispered "You said yes to a fake marriage?" He repeated in a whisper. "I did"He closed and reopened his eyes quickly. "Wait, rewind, rewind, rewind" He said dramatically, gesticulating with his hands. "So, you guys were in a fake relationship, yeah?""Yeah" I confirmed. He folded his arms across his chest "Are you telling me the touchy touchy and those seductive looks in the club was all for a show?""I..I think I already had feelings for him at that time" I answered, almost stuttering."The way you look at him..." He narrowed his eyes at me "Explains everything"I twisted the edge of my s

    RYAN. "Good morning" Claire's cheerful voice made me turn my head towards the entrance door. The moment my eyes met with hers, all words flew into thin air. Oh, great! I thought my feelings will start to dwindle after the sex we had, instead, the exact opposite is happening. Her morning look can easily pass as my weakness anytime, and then to top it, her beautiful smile. "Hey, I uhmm..." She walked closer to the table "Brought you this" she dropped the plate of sliced apple she was holding on the table. "Thank you" I said slowly, typing with half concentration. "You are welcome" she said in a singsong. I licked my lips, trying not to get distracted by her beautiful face and voice. "So I got your note..." She began.I slowed my fingers on the keyboard, expecting her next words. "You could have just talked to me in person instead of sending a note"I did that because I was avoiding her, avoiding all troubles that came with this romantic feelings, but she's right. Talking to he

  • A Partner For The Rich Playboy   73...Love can make you a kind person...

    CLAIRE. I caressed Ryan's hard-on, watching as he lost all control. I got my own joy from watching his reaction and getting to feel the hardness and hugeness of his dick. "Claire" he breathed "Are you trying to kill me?" His voice was getting unclear and raspy. "We are really doing this...."I gazed at him, and he gazed back with lust filled eyes, then I climbed on his laps to straddle him. "Yeah, we are"I kissed him slowly and teasingly, twisting my body on his thighs. I felt his erection go harder as we progressed with our desirous kiss, it added a whole new fire to how I feel. "Claire, you're gonna be the death of me" he whispered raspingly, and sped up the french kiss afterwards. He pulled my nightie down to my waist, exposing my breasts, and his shirt was off his body too, revealing his attractive naked chest and his little tattoos. He kissed me all over my skin, while I wrapped my hand around the back of his head, whispering his name, then he flipped me over the bed, touch

  • A Partner For The Rich Playboy   72.... Marriage Proposal...

    RYAN. I feel really nervy like I'm about to go for a real marriage proposal tonight. I don't wanna fuck this up. Knowing Claire, one little mistake might make her reject the proposal, fake or not, or she might get into an argument with me and ruin the engagement plans. I breathed out for calmness before going downstairs to meet her, but I when I got there, expecting to see her in her beauty glory, I got disappointed with her absence. I almost rolled my eyes. Girls. I bet she is still taking her time to prettify herself. She is supposed to be the one to wait for me here considering she was the first to start the dress, but look who's waiting now. Soon, I heard the sound of her heels clinking to the tiles as she took slow, majestic steps down the stairs. Oh my God. This girl is beautifully created. Claire is so damn gorgeous.Her black, short gown which stopped above her knees and fitted her body, clinging to the right parts like it was destined for her body, was matching with my u

  • A Partner For The Rich Playboy   71... I love you...

    CLAIRE. After taking a cold shower, I found it very hard to fall asleep. I got out of the room and headed to the kitchen for something to eat, drink , or do, just anything to get Ryan out of my head. I still feel his hands on my body and I want it back there for real. I ended up taking some water before going back to the bedroom. I didn't get completely calmed, but a least the water seems to work to some extent. I wonder if Ryan is has fallen asleep, or he is busy with work on his laptop or probably sorting out some paperwork. The sound of his bedroom door closing told me he is very much wide awake. I got off from the big bed and walked towards the exit of the bedroom, but when I got to the front of the door, I halted. 'What the hell are you doing, Claire?' A sassy voice questioned. Good question. What am I doing?Well, I don't care about what I'm doing, as long as I'm just doing them to remain normal, especially in the head, since all in my brain box is just him. I opened the

    RYAN. Claire and I got home safely, and that is enough for me to say a little Thanksgiving prayer under my breath, I mean, it wasn't easy for me with the temptations that kept creeping in while I was handling the wheel.My blood was so hot from desire, and I thought I was the only one that felt it to that degree until Claire took me by surprise by kissing me with the same hotness I feel. The kiss feels really heated, filled with so much passion and unspoken desires. I sat on the couch and with my hands under her thighs, I made her sit on my laps, then palmed both sides of her ass which was shoot out in the short sext dress that clung to her body. She straddled me, kissing me deeply with a hand at the back of my head, massaging my scalp which gave a real soothing feeling. One of my hands crawled under her short dress, making direct contact with her warm, smooth skin while we feast on each other's mouth. My aim is to get my hands up and feel her wetness, because I am so arousrd at

  • A Partner For The Rich Playboy   69... Nightclub...

    CLAIRE. I am trying so hard not to get affected by Ryan but I'm failing that task. It sounds easy, and it should be with any other guy, but trust me, it is not even close to simple when the guy in question is a hot one every girl wants to end up in bed with. During the ride to the nightclub, I caught him taking glimpses at me many times that I ended up losing count. The club, which is the venue for the birthday party is exquisite and full of wealthy people.Glancing at him as I walked side by side with him, I realized he is the same in the business world as he is in this type of wild world, apparently he is popular here too. He doesn't have a smile on his face, and he isn't going for unnecessary chats, just accurate observations gotten with confidence and intelligence. We strode straight to the bar, and ordered our drinks. The birthday celebrant soon noticed us and came over to greet us. The curiousity in his eyes did not go unnoticed by me, but he didn't press us with many quest
