2024-10-29 19:42:56Do they think I have a sexually transmissible disease contactable by close vicinity or what? But they didn't look disgusted, more like afraid.
I turn to Leo, this time he has to tell me what is going on. Why everyone treated me like a slut yesterday and are now treating me like someone who holds they lifeline in her hands.
Something has happened but not from my end. From yesterday when I cried in the bathroom and skipped classes from embarrassment I haven't done anything new to warrant such different reactions but clearly someone or something has.
"Leo, tell me what is going on" I say.
Did worse rumors spread?
He hesitates.
"Please" I beg.

After school, I walk out and to the parking lot with Cassie. It is only until we approach Cassie's car that I remember Roman told me to wait for him and that he'll give me a ride home.At this I further recall how arrogant he had sounded when he called me his. I want to be angry, I should be angry I'm no body's anything. I'm my own person. But I'm not angry, not even annoyed. I like it, I like that he is possessive about me. Am I insane?Maybe I should ask someone with more experience than me."Hey Cas" i call out to her she presses the on button on her car key nob."Yes?" She answers"What do you think about possessiveness?" I ask with a little wince. This is about to be a cringe conversation.

The week goes by fast and finally it is the weekend. It is now Friday to be precise. Cassie and I have been anticipating our spa day and Cassie for one has not stopped talking about it. She has even gone as far as planning a whole outfit for it.I'm prepared for her to start talking my head off about our day tomorrow at the Luxe Spa as I enter her car but she is quiet and focuses on the screen of her phone in her palm.It is also eight thirty in the morning, and Cassie is giving me a ride to school today."Good morning, Cas" I greet her to get her attention as she hasn't even spared me a glance."Morning, Lin" She answers distractedly. Okay...After a few more seconds and she doesn't start the car but is still focused on whatever it is she is looking at on her phone, I become concerned."Cas, we are going to be late if you don't start the car" I inform her, my eyebrows furrowed.She turns and blinks at me as if just noticing my presence.She shakes her head as if to clear it before s

Roman has booked the reservation for our spa double date with Case and Cassie for 1 pm.I'm doing the dishes in the kitchen sink when Mom comes downstairs.We haven't really had the time to have a conversation after the other night. While I've been busy with school, mom has been busy with her shifts at the hospital."Good morning, Mom" I greet her.She yawns. "Good morning"I turn back to the sink and give her my back. The brief silence is a bit awkward."How was school this week?" Mom asks.I rinse off my hands and wipe down the sink before turning to her and answering, "It was good" I reply, a bit curtly.Mom looks doubtful. "Really?""Yeah" I nod, then move to leave."Not so fast" Mom calls out, halting me. She goes to the pot of coffee I just brewed and poured herself a mug with her "Best Mom" coffee mug that Leo and I got her for mot

In my room I spend a couple of hours getting ready. After my shower, I style my hair in a simple neat ponytail. For my outfit, I put on a black playsuit and Jordan Nike sneakers. Since our session is reserved at 1: 00 clock pm, Cassie and I both agreed that her and Case will come and pick me up around 12 pm so we can make our way there.It's just 11:40 pm when my bedroom door opens. it's my Mom."You look good, baby" She compliments me.I smile. "Thanks Mom" i feel even more reassured in my outfit after mom's words."Someone is here to pick you up" Mom tells me, still standing on my doorway.Someone? I furrow my eyebrows. "You mean Cassie?" I clarify.My mom and Cassie are well acquainted as we've been friends since we were kids.Mom shakes her head. "Nope. I mean someone." She emphasizes the word ‘someone’ in the usual way she does when she has discovered some secret of mine or Leo’s.I pause to think, her emphasis on the word someone the second time she says it makes me aware that i

I look up just in time to see Paula attempt to hide her embarrassment and displeasure.I bid Cassie and Case goodbye and barely get a response as they follow their attendants with wide smiles to go and get their own treatments.Paula turns and walks ahead, Roman and I follow behind her, his arm is still around my waist and one of mine is wrapped around his elbow. We must look infatuated with each other.Since I'm done passing my message to Paula, I go to dislodge myself from Roman but he restricts the movement by wrapping his arms tighter around my waist."You can't use me to make other girls jealous one second and then pretend not to care the next second. It doesn't work like that... baby" He says the endearment with a hint of mockery as he smirks at me, his blue eyes twinkling in a manner that informs me he knows I was just jealous and he enjoyed it.Paula opens a door in front of us where we are met by more employees. This time, I'm guessing they are spa attendants based by the way

"That's fine, Ma'am" Mathew answers.Ma'am? I snort under my breath, I don't think I've ever been called Ma'am before. But I guess spending thousands of dollars on a day spa treatment warrants it, not that's it's my money but since Roman paid for it and he's obviously my boyfriend, I guess Mathew believes we both deserves the respect."What about you, sir?" Mathew asks Roman who is now on his phone, looking bored as hell."Uh..." Roman looks around, "I'll watch her get her manicures then we'll both go for the couple's massage after she's done"He doesn't look too keen on doing anything. Why did he now bother paying for this? I know, because of me. He did it for me. My heart melts as Mathew leads Roman and I to yet another room where a few people are having pedicures and manicures done.Grace, the second attendant that left to go inform those attending to Cassie and Case that they are also valid for the exclusive package comes back and starts on my manicure.She washes my feet with a

We are also given two fluffy white towels. The towels are so soft I'm already excited for the main massage and so I waste no time moving to the backroom.I pause after a few steps when I notice Roman is not moving. I turn around and see him standing still, looking uncomfortable and holding the towel in his hand awkwardly."What's wrong?" I ask him. I don't think I've ever seen him look this uncomfortable.

I’m damn tired of not being able to bring my girl over to my house because she is afraid of my father.I walk over to my father’s office and knock once, then twice. I’ll knock a million times until he lets me in, I know he is inside.“Come in, son” I hear him call out.I chuckle as I twist the handle and step in. He knows it was me just because no one else would ever interrupt him in his office. No one but me.My father sits behind his expensive mahogany desk in his huge as hell office. I hardly come here unless when absolutely necessary, like today. It reminds me of my future, that one day I will likely become a workaholic like him, spending nearly every hour, alone and working.“Father” I say in greeting. I always call him father, never dad for many years and we’re both used to it now.He points at the chair in front of his desk for me to take a seat and I do.I don’t waste a mom

CHAPTERRoman’s POVI’m on my way to the cafeteria after class to meet up with Lindsey when one of the janitors walks up to me and tells me that my girlfriend instructed him to find me and tell me to come help her out in the library because she is not feeling well.I give him a look of suspicion but consider his words, although I texted Lindsey to meet me at the cafeteria after her test she never responded. While I had concluded it was because she was in class it could be something else.Maybe something went wrong and she went to the library instead.I’m filled with worry that I don’t interrogate the janitor further but instead take a different turn to lead me to the library.When I get to the library, I realize I don’t even know exactly where Lindsey is at because the library is so huge. I consider calling her to ask but decide to check the literature section first, she is likely to be there because it is her favorite section in the library.I get there and in fact there is a girl th

Lindsey’s POVI am walking to the cafeteria alone after writing one of the most difficult tests I’ve ever written when Collins approaches me.“Hey pretty” He greets with his signature boyish smile.I smile back but my smile is a bit restrained. I know how Roman feels about Collins and I together, even though I don’t know why as I consider Collins a good friend, but I don’t want to do anything that’ll annoy Roman so I keep my distance.“Hey Collins” I respond and he comes and stands in front of me.“I need your help with something” He tells me.I’m confused as I don’t know what I could possibly help him with but I nod, urging him to go ahead and ask.He does, “I’ve been searching for an important textbook in the library for a while now and I’ve not been able to find it, can you come and help me check?”What? I give him a look of confusion. Is he joking? He must be. I laugh a bit just in case then reply, “There are librarians in the library, Collins” I mention the obvious.He grins but

On Monday after Christmas break, I drive my new new car to school. For the first time in months, I’m alone in a car. I’m driving myself rather than getting driven around like an invalid and it’s all thanks to Roman.Just like he had told me, he spoke to my mom and yesterday she even took me to shop for car accessories for my new car. Since I no longer have to worry about her feeling some type of way about Roman buying me a car, I enjoy the feeling of driving the sleekest car I have ever been in, except for Roman’s cars.When I get to school, I park my car and from the tinted glass of the windshield and windows, I can already see the students of Rixon High surrounding me, wondering who is in the car. Nearly everyone knows what everyone drives and so, a brand new expensive car such as this is bound to draw some attention.I should’ve made Roman come with me for the first day but I’m a big girl and I thought I could handle all the looks and whispers on my own.When I open my door and exi

My hand holding my phone shakes as I find Roman’s contact to call him. As my finger rests about an inch away from dialing Roman, I hesitate.I don’t know how to do it, not call him but tell him I’m refusing his gift. Even though I told mom that I’m not rejecting the gift because of her, I think I was lying. A brand new Mercedes Benz car that looks like that must cost a lot, too much. But, the thought of finally owning my own car after always having to beg Leo and ask Cassie for rides all the time feels so good. Sadly I can’t keep it. I harden my mind and call Roman. He answers on the first ring as if he has been waiting for me to call. “Do you like your car?” Is the first thing he says to me. He sounds so anxious like he can’t wait for my answer and hopes I say yes. “I… I do” I answer after a moment of hesitation. I hear Roman breath out with relief. “Thank God. I was getting worried that you didn’t like it, babe” My throat hurts as I force out the words I know he wouldn’t li

Lindsey’s POVOn the morning of my birthday, I wake up feeling all sorts of special. The night before, I had gotten both Christmas and birthday gifts from my mom, Leo and my friends. Leo had gotten his as well but I’m already used to sharing my birthdays with him. I gave him his gift as well. Last night, after I had unwrapped all my gifts, Roman had taken me out to dinner and while he didn’t say specifically that he was taking me out because of my birthday, I assume it was my birthday present. I loved it because the food was awesome and the company, his presence, was even better. I rise from my bed and do a little twirling on the floor, I’m just so happy. My mom yells my name from downstairs and when I quickly rush down, I see mine and Leo’s birthday cake ready with candles on the dinning table.I smile at the sight. It has always been a tradition for as long as I can remember. Mom always bakes a blue and a pink cake for Leo and I for our birthdays, the pink one for me and the blu

I turn to my cousin with a frustrated and doubt filled look. Damon raises an eyebrow at my facial expression. “Do you want my help or not?” I grunt, “Yeah I do. What type of car do you think I should get for her?” I ask him hopelessly. Damon shrugs, “A lambo or something” He replies. My jaw drops in shock, “A Lamborghini? Are you insane!?” My cousin snorts, “Don’t tell me you think it’s too expensive, she is your girlfriend whom I know you love so don’t tell me you’re deciding to be stingy with her gift” I ignore him saying I’m in love with Lindsey, I am but I’ve never told him or anyone, I haven’t even said the word to Lindsey and I should, I plan to tell her on her birthday, but that is not the point of my conversation with Damon right now. A lambo? I’m groan out, “Please where is Cassie and Robyn? I need them back.” I shake my head in exhaustion. Damon gives me a glare for doubting the reasonability of his idea which is an absolutely ridiculous idea. “Call Cassie and ask h

Roman’s POVIt is a few days to Christmas and even fewer to Lindsey’s eighteenth birthday. I have been in a bind all week contemplating a birthday gift for her. I have even brought in Damon, Robyn and Cassie to help me out with ideas and while they have tried by presenting me with numerous options, I’m not satisfied. I’m not very good at gift giving. Having so much money usually means I buy the most expensive things for my friends and family as gifts, but with Lindsey I can not exercise the same level of indifference or carefree attitude. I want to get her a birthday gift that… has meaning. Being with Lindsey Jordan has changed me. She has shown me that money isn’t everything, I mean I always knew that but now I have lived it. The picnic date she had organized for me the night before my birthday as my birthday gift sure didn’t cost anything close to a thousand dollars if I were to wager a guess, but I wasn’t lying when I told her it was the best birthday gift I’ve ever gotten.
