✿ CHAPTER 13 ✿
A FEW MOMENT'S AGO
"I feel so embarrassed right now, Ugh" Sofiya glared at me as we arrived at CITY MALL ELEVEN.
"What's there to be embarrassed about?" I rolled my eyes as I tucked my ID card into my Jacket pocket.
"It's just a leather suit and nothing more" My eyes crinkled to the corner as I smiled.
"You usually don't dress this way, what's the occasion?"
"Uhm, no, it's nothing at all. I just felt like dressing this way today," I lied.
People couldn't help but turn their heads when I walked in, I felt so annoyed that I decided to cover up my face with my helmet.
"Wait!, what the hell do you think you're doing?" Sofiya was startled.
"What? isn't this cool?" I smiled behind the helmet.
"Take that off now!"
"No, no way!" I pulled away from her.
"Hey!, I said take that off now!"
"Not if you catch me first" I smirked
"You-" she ran after me.
A few minutes later we both arrived at a clothing store."I'm going on a date soon, so I need to get a charming dress" Sofiya giggled and I just rolled my eyes behind the helmet.
"Right, Amelia, I heard you broke up with Caesar. Are the rumors true?" I was stunned.
How did she get to know about this?.
"Rumors? And how did you hear about it?"
"So that means it's true. How couldn't you tell me such a trivial matter" she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Come on, it was just a little argument, we're over now"
"Little argument? A little argument that's spreading like wildfire at college?"
"What do you mean at college"
"Stephanie, that bitch, she openly told everyone she slept with your ex-boyfriend!" Stephanie, my former best friend.
"All this happened yesterday right?"
I was silent, I couldn't believe my own best friend could do this to me, and talk less of spreading the news at school.
"Come on girl! cheer up! you don't need to feel bad about those a**holes. They don't deserve you"
"How do you know I'm sad? I'm putting on a helmet" I said pointing to my head.
Sofiya chuckled
"I can obviously tell from your body language without seeing your facial expression."
Oh right, how could I forget, Sofiya is currently studying psychology. she knows everything about the human body and mind; she can read you like a book.
"Aren't we supposed to look for a lovely dress for you?" I changed the topic.
"Right, come on let's go"
While Sofiya was checking out some dresses in the corner, my eyes fell on a lovely scarf displayed on a mannequin. I loved the scarf, at least it can help me feel warm in this winter season.
Just as I was about to reach the mannequin, I saw a very tall man walking over to that same mannequin. He stared at the scarf like he also liked it.
"Hell no" I quickly made my way to that mannequin, and just as the man was about to reach his hand for the red scarf, I grabbed it immediately.
"Excuse me-" the man paused as he turned his head to look at me.
OH MY GOD!!!
What the hell is this beast doing here, the scarf falling from my hands. I was so shocked to the extent that I fell to the floor and hit my helmet on the hard tiles, luckily my face was covered.
"Ughh, my head" I hissed. My ID fell to the floor.
"Are you okay?" he frowned when he saw me on the floor, he tried helping me up but I rudely pushed his hands away.
I was panting in fear, I couldn't let this man Recognize me, NO, NOT YET AMELIA!
I immediately made a run, Sofiya was coming towards me as I dragged her by the hand out of the clothing store.
"Wait, what's happening? Amelia wait!" I didn't listen to her as I dragged her along with me until we arrived outside the mall, panting.
"What the hell was that back there Amelia!" she was mad.
"I, I'm sorry I just, let's go home now, please" I looked inside the mall, checking if Leonard was coming.
"Amelia, what's wrong? , who are you running from-"
"No time to explain, let's go now"
"But my dress-" I didn't wait for her to finish as I pulled her into the car and drove off immediately.
✿ CHAPTER 14 ✿LEONARD'S POVShe was already gone before I could reach out to her. I looked down at the floor as I gently picked up the red scarf, but something strange caught my eye. It looks like an ID, was it the biker's ID?I carefully picked up the ID and I examined it."Amelia Johnson?" My mind drifted back to all the memories that night as I saw the photo of her displayed on the ID.I was astonished, I couldn't believe it. She knew it was me and immediately made a run.At that instant, I quickly made my way outside the mall."Hey!, Leonard wait up!" Daniel called out as he saw me walk outside the clothing store. I didn't turn back as I headed outside Immediately to meet up with her.By the time I got outside, she was gone. I panted softly as I clenched the ID around my hand."Damn it!" I cursed."Bro!, I've been calling after you, where did you go?" I walked back inside the mall and I saw Daniel coming out of the cl
✿ CHAPTER 15 ✿AMELIA'S POVWhen we arrived back at the house."You did what?!!!" I explained to Sofiya everything about how I met Leonard and how we ended up having a one night stand. but her reaction was crazy."I don't know who he is" I fiddled with my fingers."You don't even-" she took a deep breath to calm herself."Did you take contraceptive pills?""Yes, yes I did.""I really don't know what to say to you amelia, I hope you don't ever cross paths with that man ever again"\"I promise, I'll make sure I'll have nothing to do with him anymore, just don't, Just don't tell my parents okay?" I begged her."Come on, I won't tell your parents" she smiled"Thanks so much!, you're the best cousin ever!" I hugged her tight."Well, actually I've also had a one-night stand before" she whispered as her cheeks flushed red. I was beyond shocked.{* UHM, WHAT? !!! *}"OH MY GOD!, sofiya!" I hit her arm."I'm serious ok? don't go y
✿ CHAPTER 16 ✿2 DAYS LATER.Finally, I came back home from college. Today was the day we'd have dinner with the CEO of my dad's company. I couldn't describe this feeling I had, but I felt nervous deep inside of me. Was it because I was going on a dinner night with a CEO? I pushed the feeling aside as I walked to my room, but a voice called me back."Young miss, you're back home. The madam instructed for you to get ready in an hour" Uncle Charles said from down the stairs.I nodded "ok, I'll get ready now" With that I walked into my room. I set my bag down and walked into the bathroom to take a cool shower.A few minutes later after showering, I walked up to my closet, having another difficult challenge.TO CHOOSE A DRESSThis has always been my challenge whenever I'm going somewhere important with my parents. They always want me to dress responsibly and elegant as a woman, but when I'm back at home I can dress however I l
✿ CHAPTER 17 ✿"Good evening Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, your table is right this way" A female waitress walked up to us as she said with a smile.My parents nodded as we followed behind her.This restaurant looked like a very classy one, mainly for celebrities I guess. The bright lights were too much as it hurt my eyes, I tried looking away from the light as I gazed down at the floor. While walking my mom suddenly turned to face me as she whispered."Are you ok?" I was startled, Did My Mom just ask me if I was ok?"Uhm, yeah, I'm good" I looked at her, and she nodded as she looked away and continued walking behind My Dad. I sighedThe CEO was nowhere to be seen when we arrived at our table, wasn't the CEO supposed to be here before us?"Take a seat Amelia" My dad pulled out a seat for me and My Mom, the round table had two seats each, opposite each other. At least we kept the fourth seat for the CEO. I felt both nervous and excited at the sam
✿ CHAPTER 18 ✿I could feel my heart racing very fast….how didn't I realize this man was my dad's boss…. I've been trying to push away the memories from that night but seeing him here, dressed up and looking hotter than I remembered that night, brought all the memories rushing back.I quickly stood up and walked away from the table…I was inside the bathroom for some minutes trying to calm myself down until I heard the sound of leather shoes approaching…immediately, the bathroom door swung open, I looked up and saw this godly handsome man…why did this man have to be so hot as hell !"Excuse me, sir. This is the ladies' bathroom." I was nervousHe stayed silent as he locked the door behind him, ensuring no one walked in. he turned to face me, his eyes filled with unspoken emotions. He steps closer…each step made my heart race…I stepped back until my back hit the wall…"What are-""Why are you running from me Amelia?" his voi
✿ CHAPTER 19 ✿Suddenly I remembered the day I bumped into him at the shopping mall. My face turned red when I realized he might have known it was me. But how on earth did he know it was me?my face was covered obviously, I was so confused right now…"I have to take my leave now, I enjoyed my dinner tonight," Leonard said to my parents"You're leaving already? Anyways, it was nice having dinner with Mr. Leonard tonight" My Mom said with a smile."I'll see Mr. Leonard out" My Dad suggested"No, never mind…I'll take my leave now." I looked up at Leonard as he waved my parents goodbye. He didn't even spare me a glance anymore. Was I too harsh at him back in the bathroom? Whatever, it's not like I care. He's a grown-up man anyway.After Leonard left, we also proceeded to leave that moment."Do you think the CEO enjoyed tonight's treat?" My Mom asked as we got into the car."I know he did…he's quite different from his usual self at
✿ CHAPTER 20 ✿THE NEXT DAYI arrived at campus, and as I got out of my car I also spotted Sofiya coming out from her car…"Amelia!" she ran to hug me tight."I…I can't, can't breathe" I choked on my words."Oh, sorry" she let go of me as I gasped for air.I glared at her."Seems like someone wants me dead!" I cleared my throat."Come on…I was just excited to see you…it's been days since I last saw my sweet cousin" She smiled and I rolled my eyes walking ahead of her."Hey!, wait up!" she ran after me.While we were walking down the hallway."Right, Amelia!!" she yelled."Jesus Christ Sofiya!... I'm next to you…why shout in my ear" I touched my ears to make sure I wasn't bleeding."Amelia guess what!... I heard that a very handsome CEO is coming to our school today!" Sofiya squealed in excitement."Huh?, CEO?" I was confused."Yes, I heard his company is one of the people who sponsor our school"I halted in my steps
✿ CHAPTER 1 ✿Finally, it was my birthday...I was excited because I couldn't wait to see Caesar and my best friend Maria...I wanted to celebrate my birthday with them.I arrived at Caesar's house...I also brought a cake and a red wine...I parked my car at his garage...I bought this house and also a car for Caesar on his birthday as a gift. I knocked on his door but there wasn't a response, so I just walked in."Caesar?" I called out softly ..I walked into his living room...beers and drinks scattered all over the place."Did he have a party last night?"...I continued calling his name but there was no response, I then quietly walked up the stairs into his room.I found the door unlocked...I pushed open the door and immediately, I felt my whole world crumble."C-Caesar" unshed tears in my eyes as I spotted Caesar and my best friend together on the bed...with clothes laying scattered on the floor."Amelia?, you.. you're here
