Becky’s POV “Don’t mind that silly girl dear,” Anna said, as I wheeled her into the elevator.We had finished lunch, and I was taking her upstairs for her siesta. Phillip, Frank, and Celine had left.“She is so mean and rude I don’t know what Phillip sees in her.” Anna fumed.“It is okay Anna, I don’t mind. Tell me about the charity event. When is it holding?” I asked “It is on Saturday, 9 pm. Sandra Martins is this month's host.”“I have heard of her. She owns a lot of luxury clothing stores. My friend Jenny is her niece.”“Phillip is this month's gentleman of the ball, so I, as his partner, will be the lady of the ball.” She laughed.“Gentleman of the ball?”“Yes. At every ball, the young people elect the most beautiful woman or the most handsome man, to be the lady or gentleman of the ball. The person gets to make an opening speech at the next ball and gets money donated to their favorite charity. Phillip was elected at the last ball. A new one will be elected on Saturday. It is
Loving The Man I Wanted To Hate Chapter 25: Lady Of The Ball
Becky’s POV I was up till midnight, working on the speech. Writing and rewriting it, until it was perfect. Then, I closed my eyes and imagined Phillip reading it in his firm, quiet voice. And I would be there to see it, I smiled.Very early in the morning, I was already awake. Maybe because I was anxious to give him the speech. So I kept hanging around the window so that I could see when he came out. By 7:30 am he came out of the house and I ran up to him.“Good morning, Mr. Dale.” I greeted him. “Your speech is ready.”He looked surprised.“So soon?” He asked.“Yep, take a look.”He took it from me. “Are you sure you did not copy it from somewhere? I don’t want to read someone else’s speech,” he said, frowning."Ungrateful Jerk!" I thought angrily.“Copy it? I was up half the night writing this,” I said. I was hurt that he wasn’t grateful after all the effort I had put in.“Sorry. I didn’t mean it like that,” he said, quickly. “I am just surprised you did it so quickly.” He read
Loving The Man I Wanted To Hate Chapter 26: Curious Host
Becky’s POV “Me?” I asked Anna, shocked at what she had said.“Yes you. You would make a beautiful lady,” she said.“I... I... I can’t go with Rebecca, Gran.” Phillip stammered.“Why not?" Anna asked.“She is going with Frank.”“Are you?” Anna looked in my direction and asked.“I was Anna, but I canceled it to stay with you. I can’t leave you,” I told her.“Nonsense. I will be fine. I am just tired, not dying. If you have canceled it with Frank, then you are free, right?” She asked me.“Yes but-““And if she is free you can go with her, right?” She asked Phillip.“Well, yes, but-““Good. So go get dressed, Rebecca, go on. Don’t keep Phillip waiting,” Anna said.“Are you sure, Gran?" Philip asked Anna. "I think she should stay with you. I can find someone else,” he completed.“And I think both of you should stop wasting time and get going. You two are perfect for each other. Now, stop arguing and get ready.” She told us, insisting.“Okay, Miss Richards, get dressed, let’s go,” Phillip

Becky’s POV After I was introduced to the members of the organizing committee, a gray-haired man walked up to us.“Phil,” he said, smiling, then frowned when he saw me. “Who is this lovely looking lady?”“This is Rebecca Richards, my companion,” Phillip said quickly.“Nice to meet you,” he said, coolly. “Where is Anna?” “She couldn’t make it,” Phillip said.“Celine didn’t come?” The man asked.“I have no ideas,” Phillip told him briefly.“Does Rebecca walk in the company?” He asked.Phillip mumbled something and led me away.“Celine’s dad,” Phillip whispered to me.I looked back at the man who was staring at me with interest.“Let’s have something to eat,” Phillip suggested, and led me to the buffet table.“These look exotic,” I said, nibbling some of the food.“They are,” Phillip said, biting a piece of food. Some of it fell on his jacket. I took out my hankie and wiped it off, then wiped the corner of his mouth.“Thanks,” he said softly.We looked into each other's eyes. He touche
Loving The Man I Wanted To Hate Chapter 28: Someone's Following Me
Becky’s POV I sat on my bed for a long time, asking myself what had just happened. Had Phillip really kissed me? Or was it my imagination again? I touched my lips, and smiled. I could still feel his kiss. It was real, alright.I took a shower and dressed for bed. I didn’t close my eyes till nearly midnight. I was thinking about his kiss. When I did fall asleep, I dreamed I was making love to Phillip. I woke up to the sunlight streaming in and wetness between my legs.I sighed. "The kiss was a mistake. He was probably drunk, so stop overthinking it," I told myself.It was Sunday, so I was in no hurry to get up. I lay down, thinking of the fun I’d had and the dance with Phillip. It was great. I was happy Anna had insisted that I go.Then I thought of Frank and again felt bad. He was hurt and it was all my fault. I picked up my phone and dialed his number.It rang but he didn’t pick up. I tried again, he answered.“Good morning, Becky, how was your night?” He asked cheerfully.“Hi Fran

Becky’s POV Frank and I ended the day with dinner at our favorite restaurant.“Thanks for giving me such a great time today, I really enjoyed it,” I told Frank.“My pleasure.” He smiled. “I had hoped to give you a great time yesterday too.”“I had a good time yesterday, it was great. Phillip was named gentleman of the ball again, and I was named lady.” I smiled.He nodded, but I could see he wasn’t happy.“Are you okay?” I asked.“I am. I just really like you, and want us to be closer,” he said, holding my hand.I blushed. “I like you too and enjoy spending time with you.”“I know, but I want us to be very close,” he insisted.We are. You are a good friend,” I said.“Friend?” He raised his eyebrows.“Yes. A very good friend,” I repeated.He frowned briefly, then smiled.“Sure. I like our friendship too,” he said.We finished dinner, and he drove me home, and walked me to my front door.“Let’s do it again next week,” he suggested, “I will take you to go see a movie.”“I will love that
Loving The Man I Wanted To Hate Chapter 30: Pretty Little Problem
Celine’s POV It was Monday morning and, as usual, I was having a bad day at the office. I didn’t have a good relationship with my annoying coworkers. They were jealous of the fact that my dad was a millionaire. Yeah, right! If only they knew the truth. If only they knew his fate depended on me getting married to Phillip Dale, a task that looked almost impossible.I took an elevator from the meeting where I had been all morning back to my office.I shared the office with two other people who I disliked. I knew I was always the topic of their gossip, but I didn’t care. This morning, though, they seemed to be talking and laughing a lot more. They would look at their phones, then at me, and giggle. I ignored them. I had bigger worries. My dad asked me to join him for lunch. He said it was urgent. And he had sounded anxious. I wondered what the problem could be.If only I could get Phillip to pop the question. I have tried everything. In the beginning, that pest, Linda Finley, had made i
Loving The Man I Wanted To Hate Chapter 31. Interruption
Phillip's POV I left Rebecca standing there and walked to my car. I knew I was being unnecessarily harsh and unfriendly, but that was the only way I could stop my feelings from showing on my face. Since the night I kissed her when we returned from the ball party, I have not been myself.I find it very difficult to let go of the taste of her sweet lips from my memory. I still find it surprising how I let loose of my gaurds and kissed her. Very funny. Although I claimed I was drunk, I know very well that it was all a lie. Get a grip man! I kept telling myself.Going with her was a mistake I shouldn’t have made. I should have gone alone. But deep down I know I enjoyed her company. What was wrong with me? No woman had ever had a hold on me this way, so why were thoughts of Rebecca filling my head, day and night? I shook my head to clear it and drove to work.The news blogs were filled with pictures of Rebecca and me at the ball. I knew Celine would see them, and it would piss her off.F
