Hating the Billionaire Heir Chapter Fourteen
On Monday morning, I and Cassie arrive on the school grounds on time, Cassie parks the car and we hop out. We are immediately joined by Case who can’t seem to stay five feet away from Cas, they hug and kiss in greeting while I let out a groan in frustration. "Isn't it a bit too early for this, and I'm right here" I complain They both laugh in response, the inconsiderate asses. "I'm always third-wheeling where you're both concerned" I continue complaining out loud as we enter inside and walk towards our lockers "I don't think 'third-wheeling' is an actual word, bestie" is Cassie's response. I wonder how that is what she chooses to focus on from what I complained about. My usage of wrong or not vocabulary was not the point. "Maybe I should start hanging out more with Anna since we're both single" This was actually a good idea, although I'm not as close to Anna as I am to Cassie, but Anna is a cool person. I'm still lost in my thoughts when Cassie interrupts, "Uh... I think you jus

I’m dumbstruck while he continues, “Your glares… your snark, it turns me on. Just thought you should know” He finally concludes with a shrug. He says this so casually, that one would think we were discussing the weather. My jaw drops open. Did I just hear right? “I t-turn you…” I splutter. I’m so shocked I can’t form a complete sentence, I’m sure I look completely dumb with my eyes and mouth open and hanging. I shut my eyes to get my bearings together, after counting from one to five, I open my eyes. Physically I must look put together and in complete control but inside my heart beats so loud in my chest I can barely hear myself as I spit out, “You. are. Disgusting!” He laughs in response and places his hands against my desk, he leans forward until we are at eye level, with his voice low, as if his next words are for me alone, he speaks, “And you. look. Turned on” I gasp and he continues, “I think I might like you, no other girl makes me laugh

It's lunch break and Cassie and I are heading to the cafeteria. We’re waiting in line to get food when Collins approaches us. “Hey” He greets, his arms open and he hugs me. I’m stunned by it because although we spoke at the party last Friday night, however were not friends or anything. I could count how many times we’ve spoken to each other and we’ve both attended Rixon High for years. “Hey, Collins” I greet him when I’m finally able to pull away from his hug, although it was unexpected, it wasn't bad, he smells nice at least, not sweaty or foul like some other boys. Cassie waves at him, choosing to remain silent. Collins smiles at me, "You looked really pretty last night" "Thank you" "I wished we had got to speak more" He confesses as we get our food and walk towards the cafeteria chairs. We stop at the table where Case and his friends are sitting. "Hey man" He greets Case and they shake hands and hug in that bro-like h

On my way to my next class after lunch, I see Oliver and Anna ahead of me. I bend my head hoping they won't notice me because I'm still not ready to confront them about whatever it is that is going on between them. I'm not mad about it anymore, I didn't have any lingering feelings for Collins but I still felt betrayed by Anna for some reason. Unfortunately, Oliver spots me and they both walk up to me. Since I can't run forever, I decide to just get it over with. "Hey Lin" both they greet in chorus. "Hey yourselves" My tone sounds a bit off but nothing about this is normal yet. Anna is the one who speaks after a few lingering seconds, "So we both noticed that you kind of have been ignoring us..." "I wonder why" I reply dryly. "We spoke to Cassie and she told us you knew about our relationship" Oliver comes to stand directly beside Anna and holds her hands, for support or what I'm not sure. I roll my eyes at it, what a supportive boyfrie
Hating the Billionaire Heir Chapter Eighteen
On Tuesday I walk out behind Roman after English class. Although my chair had been empty when I first walked into class this morning, I chose to let it remain that way rather than sitting on it and arguing with him about who the rightful owner is. As I have been saying, our disagreements would have to pause until we're done with our paired project. "Roman wait" I call out, jogging to catch up with his long strides. He paused, then turned around to face me, "Cookie..." He drawls out, surprised. "We need to talk about our project, we haven't yet set a date and we need to as soon as possible, failure is not an option, Roman" I warn "Of course, Cookie" He affirms with a small smile. As I take note of his smile and outfit for the day- washed dark jeans that I’m sure are designers, black leather jacket over a grey shirt I’m sure are also designers and grey Nike Jordans- I realize that this is the first time we're having a casual conversation, normally insul
Hating the Billionaire Heir Chapter Nineteen
After school closes for the day, I'm running around the parking lot searching for Leo to ask him to give me a ride back home. Cassie rode in with Case this morning because her car had to be taken to the repair shop to fix some car trouble. Mom had driven me to school and Leo was meant to drive me back but the little shit was nowhere to be found. If I had known he'd go missing I would requested Case give me a ride back as well but somehow, Leo's unreliability still manages to catch me off guard once in a while. I bring out my phone and dial his contact for the thirteenth time and it rings and rings with no reply. The parking lot is nearly empty and I'm beginning to worry I would be stranded here alone. Instantly all the horror movies Cassie forced me to watch starts replaying in my head. Ugh, this was not the time for my mind to be playing tricks on me, the traitor. I pull out my phone from my backpack once again to call Leo for the last time of which I

By the time I wake up from my nap, it's sunset already. I glance at the alarm clock on my bedside locker and see it's five minutes after eight. Damn, I really dozed the afternoon away. I'm glad though, I feel well rested.My mind instantly goes back to this afternoon. I can't believe Roman gave me a ride home. Again. More shocking is how civil we're becoming with each other. I climb off my bed and walk towards my bathroom to wash my face and then proceed to brush my hair which never fails to look like a rat's nest after every time I nap or sleep.My stomach grumbles in hunger, reminding me that I hadn't eaten anything since lunch at the school cafeteria. I decide to get something to eat but not before I send a text to Roman. I'm surprised I have no missed calls or texts from him, it's been nearly four hours since I promised to text him and he doesn't seem like a patient person, but I guess he must possess more self-control than I imagine. I proceed to text him.

Sexiest Man Alive: Am I permitted to speak now? Uh... What is he on about now? Me: What? Rather than reply by text, my phone starts ringing with an incoming call from Roman, or rather from "Sexiest Man Alive," Why I haven’t changed the ridiculous caller ID he saved his number with on my phone is a surprise. "Hey" I speak after answering the call, my voice sounds embarrassingly breathy that I have to clear my throat a few times. "I asked you if I finally have your permission to talk... The wait was agitating, Cookie" He groans as he says my name- ugh, I mean his nickname for me, what the hell is wrong with me? "What are you on, Roman? Since when did you need permission from me to yap about anything?" He laughs, "Since you told me to shut up, you know I like doing what you say, you can command me anytime. I like a girl who knows how to take the lead" I try to understand what he's saying

Roman’s POVI have decided to have the talk with my father today. No more postponing, no more hesitating. 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.
