No woman was able to capture his heart before.

He used to sleep around, for fun he would say or to pass time but Chloe McCarthy managed to tame his heart.

He dated models, agents and some daughters of businessmen but when they wanted something close to a relationship he would walk away. He didn't want to be tied down he would say but with the pretty, blonde nerd he wanted more. More than just sleeping around and more of being tied down.

    A Nerd in a mean girls world.Tuesday - Always felt longer than Monday for some reasons unknown to me. I gasped as soon as I spotted Almira flirting as usual. As soon as she saw me, her wide smile appeared and ran to me. I could already guess what she was going to say next and I already had the perfect answer for her, same as always."My answer still stands! Came early today?"She sulked and spoke. "Coco! I don't understand why you don't wanna submit your project. I saw it, it's perfect!"I shook my head and grabbed her hand, making our way to class. "I don't feel like it. You know me, I rather keep up with my unpopular self!"Almira was not pleased with my response instead went on convincing me."I know you will win. Come on, Chloe.

    ⚜ A ticket to Belize ⚜Due to late-night fantasies, I hardly slept and soon it was morning. My cranky stepmother, Joyce poured cold water on me."Get up, you are going to be late for your classes," she said.By now I was used to her mistreatments that I barely complained about. One time I tried to report her but all was in vain. At least her husband, Mr Randall was a bit nicer to me."Soon you will need to get a job for yourself, young lady. Just a matter of months and you will be outta here""Thanks, Joyce"She was pissed as she spoke. "Thank me when you are 21 and out of my house, missy!"She had always treated me badly but I never disrespected her. If you want to survive around your enemy, comply. Joyce spent most of her money on booze and cigars. Even when I went to bed hungry, I never complained. I can't wait to

    ⚜ Belize ⚜ With two more days left for the trip, I stayed indoors mostly. How I wished I could take my best friend along. Joyce was happy that she wouldn't have to deal with me for two whole weeks and she offered to take me to the airport. Joyce was Mrs Randall's first name.

    ⚜ Beautiful Belize with a thud ⚜I was woken up the next morning by a knock on the door. I wonder who could it be this early. With my robe on I walked close to the door and yelled, "who is it?""Morning miss Chloe, it's me Yadhy""Morning Yadhy, please come in", I said while opening the door."Sorry to wake you up but I got a call from your Chancellor yesterday.

The sharp pain in my head couldn't go unnoticed and the ropes on both my hands and legs made it worse. Suddenly the door was opened and in walked two men who by guessing were probably in their early twenties."Hey cutie, enjoying your holiday? ", one of them asked.I didn't respond.He stood up and ordered the other one "Pacho, get her some food and water immediately.

I didn't know how long time had passed but finally, someone unlocked the door and was met with an awful stink which made him cover his nose with his hands. Among the fourteen women, only three fainted. If the man hadn't arrived I guess there would be more including myself. He shouted. "Pacho! Rico! Carlito! Boys? What have you done? Quickly get the doctor" I was too drunk with the stench that I didn't bother covering my nose. The man spoke. "Don't worry ladies. I am getting you out of this hole" Pacho popped in panting.
