A vacation with the billionaire's son Chapter Twenty- nine
Melvin had called Serena the previous night and confirmed that she was cool with Hadley. He was interested in her reason for not saying anything to Frank at lunch, but Serena told him, it was nothing they could handle."Do you want to go see a movie, this time we'll go alone," Melvin suggested.A movie alone, Serena thought. The way he said it, it felt like she had caused a lot of trouble having lunch with the others that afternoon."Yeah, I have a lot of time on my hands, I guess I'm up for anything that doesn't involve me spending my money." She joked, even if it was demeaning to her. She had to make it clear that it was on him."Of course, it's all on me. So that's a date. Should I pick you up on Friday?" said Melvin with triumph in his voice.Serena asked "When is Friday again?""The day after tomorrow." Melvin replied."Okay, that's fine. I'll meet you at the place. Just let me know where." She told him."Are you sure that's okay?" Melvin was concerned."Yeah, it's totally cool,

Mabel took one last sip from her coffee mug and that was it. She was going to call her baby girl and know how she was doing.She felt guilty for abandoning her like that, but she was helpless as well. She believed she would cope. She was going to make it out of the hell-hole Jeff had thrown her into.She dialed Serena's number and waited patiently for her to answer. She didn't pick on the first ring. Mabel stared at the knitted brown table mat which was used to cover the small kitchen table where she sat. She closed her eyes and prayed that her niece would forgive her. She had already been hurt too much. She wasn't supposed to be abandoned again for the second time. She could remember when she had just begun to talk properly. She was such a cute little girl."Mummy, I want ice-cream!" Little Serena had demanded as she held her stuffed pony to her chest.Mabel couldn't resist taking in such a beautiful darling. Her mother would regret that decision one day. She just knew, but she did

"You've been in such a happy mood today. What's up?" Tom punched in some numbers into the calculator. He wrote down figures on a piece of paper and dropped it on Melvin's desk.The old monitor shook as his hand banged on the desk. Melvin hissed, but he continued bopping his head to the music coming from the store's speakers. "I say….ooooooh, I'm blinded by the lights!" He snapped his fingers and moved his shoulders from left to right.Tom shook his head and grabbed Melvin's phone from his desk. He turned off the music. "Why did you do that?" Melvin asked."You could have finished that work faster if you concentrated on completing it. You normally don't spend so much time on it." Tom moved back with the phone since Melvin could stand up at anytime."I'm not in the mood to go back and forth with you, okay? Hand the phone over." Melvin said."I wouldn't be bothered if you weren't smiling like a fish every now and then. You should let your boy know what's up!" Tom needed to satisfy his c

For once, he was going out with a girl on a proper date and it wasn't just a random girl. It was someone as gorgeous as Serena. It made his head swoon.Serena had refused him coming to pick her up, so he was going to wait for her in front of the movie house. He found a good spot to park his car and he got out to the front of the building. He thought of texting her to let her know he had arrived, but he waved the thought off. He wasn't going to rush her. He ignored the curious eyes looking at him. Was he the first person to ever wait for someone on a date? People and not minding their business.Twenty minutes after seven, a cab pulled up in front of the building. He smiled as the leg of a female came out of the car. Then the full body emerged. She was wearing a pair of low heel slippers, flared jeans and a white square neck blouse with puffy sleeves.She looked adorable and it made him check himself to see if he was underdressed. He was wearing a purple check long sleeved shirt and ca

"It could be photoshopped," Hadley was on the settee, typing away on her laptop with a bowl of cereal beside her. She didn't get why Serena was perplexed. Serena looked at her with a disgusted face, "he doesn't seem like someone that would go through all that stress.""He's a web developer, they can make up anything," it was almost impossible to hear Hadley with her teeth crushing the crunchy cornflakes in her mouth.Serena paused for a while and tried to put one and two together. It didn't make sense. He wasn't a graphics designer, Hadley was of no use."Are you really going to do this, SC?" Hadley put her laptop aside and dropped the empty bowl on the side table."Do what?" Serena glared at her."You were having a beautiful moment. You were close to kissing Melvin and boom this loser from nowhere texts you and you drop everything just like that. What is wrong with you?"Serena recoiled in disgust as she remembered what happened that night, "I wasn't going to kiss Melvin.""But you

Hadley and Serena washed their sleepy faces and took their pillows to his apartment. He shook his head immediately when he saw them and he ushered them to his kitchen to grab the drink he had made.They waved at the guys there and a girl who was too engrossed in her phone to look at anybody."What did you put in here?" Hadley smelt the drink but she couldn't point out what it was. "I'd better not drop dead with your crazy recipe," she took a sip and let out a satisfied sigh.Serena saw her expression and decided to take a sip from her own drink. "Hmm, this is so good," she relished the sharp sweet taste of the margarita.Arthur playfully placed his hand on his chest and bowed before them. "Let me introduce you to my friends… where's Frank?" He checked around the room.Hadley spat into her cup bag as Frank came out of the bathroom. She wanted to act like nothing had just happened, but Arthur had noticed her reaction."Is everything okay?" He whispered."Yeahh," she smiled and dragged S

Serena watched her phone ring for the third time that afternoon. She had followed Hadley to Creamhood, so she could have a virtual interview early in the morning before the day got busy.Now, she was just sitting at a corner of the confectionary section which served as a coffee table. The space was airy and the sun rays penetrated through the blinds. She could feel its warmth on her skin and she desired to be at the beach, tanning her skin and watching the ocean waves crash while sipping coconut juice. It reminded her of her summer vacation.Jaxon had called her phone for the third time that day but she refused to answer. She didn't have time for his games.A guy in black shirt walked up to the counter. Serena could see him from where she sat despite the tall shelves. She had not spoken to Hadley about Frank since Arthur's party. She wondered what the outcome had been. She would probably ask Hadley when she came around.She smelt the croissant before it made its way to the table whe

Serena ran to hug her when she saw her coming down the road. They stood there in each other's arms for about a minute before letting go.Her aunt didn't look like the person she had known since her teenage years. She was less dressed up. She didn't wear any makeup. Her coats were just normal coats unlike the very stylish ones she'd wear each time.Serena could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. Nothing was said, but a lot was read in the silence. They were both helpless from the tragedy that had befallen their family. "How are you?" Mabel's voice was shaky. They were in a bookstore that had a small coffee shop attached to it. There was nothing Aunt Mabel enjoyed more than the smell of books and coffee mincing wafting through a cool breezy day.It didn't feel like it today. Her face had gotten thinner within a short while. Her hands lacked the usual extra sweet moisture they'd normally have. Serena held her hand firmly from across the table.Both of them hadn't even touched their

Serena managed to get through the event without feeling intimidated. Jaxon made sure he didn't leave her side for too long. He introduced her to his parents as his girlfriend, he was so proud of it.They had received her warmly, contrary to what she had expected. She was surprised to see his brother, he was calm, handsome and soft spoken. She had imagined him to be a viscous, stubborn, shorter man.He smiled at her when she put her hand forward for a handshake. It wasn't the best of smiles, but for someone who was in some sort of rivalry with his brother who happened to be her boyfriend, he gave her a warm reception.Jaxon's father was just as she imagined, like the clips from the news, he was funny, but he still had that wall around him, like he was a small god and unapproachable. He had complimented her dress and told her he'd heard of her wonders and he was happy to see her.His mother on the hand was the sweetest soul, she hugged her and was surprised to hear the college she gradu

He had seen her on the dress before but it didn't look as elegant as this, he wiped his face with a handkerchief to be sure he wasn't getting teary. She had curled her hair into magnificent waves that dropped to her shoulders.Her shoulders gleamed under the bright chandelier that hung on the ceilings of the stairs. She flashed her radiant smile at him, his heart melted again. She was wearing the emerald green version of the blue heart necklace which was paired with complementary earrings.It seemed like she was taking forever to come down the stairs. He resisted the urge to meet her where she was and lift her in his arms down the stairs.It felt like prom night again, but with someone he actually loved. She finally met him at the foot of the stairs and placed her manicured hands on his jacket and straightened the collar. They heard a gentle cough from behind and separated. Uncle Jeff came from the living room and handed her her coat. “I expect that you won't catch a cold with him,

“I'd like for us to have an official date, not just reconciling in the middle of a launch like this, it's so busy around here, but first I'd like to invite you to my inauguration party this weekend” Jaxon leaned in to whisper to Serena.Serena's eyes darted from left to right and she looked up at him. She didn't expect him to say that. “Inauguration party?” “Yes, you know, corporate stuff, I'm sorry it's going to be a lot bigger than this and all of that formal shit, but I'll be by your side. I want you by my side.”“I…I don't know, I'd love to…but,” she began but he hushed her before she made any excuse.“I'm desperate right now to be honest and I can go on my knees for you not to refuse me. Did I forget to tell you or has Hadley told you?”“Told me what?” Serena asked confused.Jaxon’s mood shifted to a more solemn one, “I heard you found out who your…real mum is.” Serena nodded and kept on paying attention to him, the information wasn't something to bother her again. “And she happ

Serena loved her experience in Florida, the person she had stayed with was the most hospitable person ever. She showed her around herself, she made sure she always had something to eat. She even waited for her at the airport during her arrival in Florida.She took her to the most exciting places, met new sane people. She fell in love with the most mundane things and she had a lot of fun.It was quite sad that everything had to come to an end but she was excited for what was coming. Hadley was going to launch her restaurant in the coming week so she left Florida during the weekend.Uncle Jeff and Aunt Mabel were so happy to see her. They had celebrated New Year without her. She immediately went to Hadley's house to see her, her brother and mum had come to Rhode Island for the launch too.Serena remembered when she used to crush on Hadley's brother. Hadley had been so against it, that they almost fought. He had more tattoos now and Serena already heard he had a girlfriend, so there was

“Serena, Hadley is here!” Mabel called Serena from the front door. Serena screamed with joy like she'd been for her since forever. She wore her indoor slippers and ran down the stairs.“Oh my God, Hadley,” she hugged her until they both fell on their knees and were lying on the floor of the front door. Mabel looked at the hilarious sight, it felt good to see them like this again. It was like they were sixteen and about to resume high school again.“Come on girls, you're making fools of yourselves in front of the neighbors.”“Hey, the neighbors,” Hadley jumped to her feet and gave Serena a helping hand, “is Gavin still around?” She grinned.Serena tapped he arm lightly, “all you know how to do is ask after your men, you wouldn't ask how I'm doing before you move into your men.” She joked.Serena carried Hadley's small travel bag inside the house. Hadley came behind her and shut the door. She took off her shoes at the small passageway just before she entered the living room. Mabel gave

Jaxon wondered why she demanded to meet him in person. She'd been trying to contact him for days and the assistant he assigned to her had been bugging him.He finally decided to spare some time for her. He arranged a meeting with her at a cafe close to his office. He made sure it was during busy hours when people would be around in case she wanted to try something funny.She had the effrontery to be late, he kept on checking his wristwatch for the time. He ordered coffee and sipped it bit by bit as he watched the people walking into the cafe through his shades.A few people still managed to recognize him, some of them pointed at him discreetly. It was amusing how he had turned from nobody to somebody and everyone wanted to identify with him. He didn't like having bodyguards around him, so he still had to deal with pushing some people off by himself.Anybody would rush at him, for business proposals, for food, money, assistance. He didn't know how to explain to them that he wasn't a wa

Serena chose to ignore her presence and sat down beside her Uncle who was seated alone at the breadth of the rectangular table. Aunt Mabel sat opposite her, next to him while Amora sat beside her sister. They were having fried turkey with rice and salad. Serena allowed Aunt Mabel to dish her food and she began eating. She expected them to say something about why this woman was with them. They didn't say anything until they finished eating.The normal tradition was to watch sitcoms together anytime they had a meal at the dinning room. Aunt Mabel would be the first to sit in the sitting room, Serena would join her while Uncle Jeff would come in last.Aunt Mabel always slept halfway into movies, Serena and Jeff would binge watch movies together until Uncle Jeff was tired he'd take her aunt into the room while she either continued watching more shows or she'd retired to her room.That was when they ate together, but on other nights when she had her meal in her room, she'd just watch stu

Serena began speaking after the waiter left. She had given the restaurant a four star review for both of them.“I know my place, Jaxon. Our worlds are totally different and you have a lot going on. I should be the least of your worries. Whatever you have going on with your brother, you should resolve it. Family is more important, focus on that. You might regret it so much if you lose any of them. It can happen at anytime, any minute, so please, take care of yourself. I'll always remain grateful to you for getting my uncle out and giving us our house back, but you see, it makes us even more indebted to you. I don't think any further affiliation with you would be good.”Jaxon sighed, “I'm not asking you for anything. It's just..”“My uncle still has to work for your company to make sure everything is returned, doesn't he?” Serena asked him, he sighed, they both knew the answer.“It's not like he's working for the replacement of the funds, I'll figure it out, but it's not like you're s

She wore a teardrop pearl necklace that sitted well on her chest suiting the V-neck blouse she'd chosen to wear her black mini skirt with. It was nothing grand, she reminded herself.She had picked the venue and made sure to come twenty minutes late. She walked into the cafe and didn't have to look around too much to find him. He was punctual, all these things he was doing to repent.He had shades on, but she could tell him apart even if there were several men wearing the same suit he wore. He looked nice in a suit. She laughed in her head, he still became the corporate guy he dreaded so much - because of her, she was reminded by another of her thoughts. Shut Up- she told it back.Lemons - he had started using that bath wash again or he intentionally used it to remind her of the first time she met him. She maintained her stoic expression. He wasn't exactly smiling at her as well, but he looked good, seductive as always in whatever he wore. He would be the center of attraction in his
