Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter fourteen: Is there no bounds to your arrogance?
" Excuse me! " Skyler breathed and stared up at the blonde with a look of surprise. He waited for the blonde to laugh and tell him she was joking but all he got was a serious look on her face. Did he hear her correctly? Why would the blonde assume he didn't want to marry her, they have only just met.Adriana tried to maintain a stoic expression but she couldn't hold back her laughter anymore and lost it. The look on Skyler's face when he heard the word married was so funny that it took all her restraint not to burst into laughter. Skyler glared when he heard the blonde snickering at his expense. She was obviously pulling his legs. " Very funny, " he growled as he resumed his meal wondering what is with everybody and wanting him to get married. First his parents and now the blonde. " I wasn't joking, " Adriana told him seriously losing her humor. " And why is that? We just met and haven't even gone on a date so why would there be an issue of marriage between us? "" Why don't we rec
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter fifteen: Are you planning on not speaking to me ever
The journey home was in silence, though Adriana wouldn't call it an uncomfortable one. Anyway, that is for her. She wouldn't say if it is the same for Skyler. He has been sporting this swollen look ever since they left the restaurant like a kid whose toy was snatched from him. Yeah, adorable when he loses. Adriana smirked inside turning to shoot him another look. He looked so handsome with the sun reflecting the side of his face, and his midnight-colored hair swaying under the force of the breeze. He was doing his best pretending that Adriana wasn't in the car and that amused her a lot. " Are you planning on not speaking to me again or what? " she teased giving him another look. " No, I am not, " Skyler replied in a curt tone, his voice cold and annoyed. He was still seething from the fact that the woman beside him just played him like some musical instrument. Adriana laughed like he just said the funniest thing. " There is something you should get used to if you are going to be wi
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter sixteen: so are you going to marry her
Skyler felt so tired after the hell of a day he had in the office. It's been a stressful week with all the leg work he needed to do for the smooth assimilation of the new company he just acquired for his father. Being one of his pet's projects he had needed to oversee everything personally. It hadn't been easy because he had needed to let some of the staff go. A job Skyler never liked doing. His father has always accused him of being weak whenever he hesitates to fire employees even when they deserve it, but Skyler believes in his heart that kindness is never a weakness. The employees he let go today he had made sure they were compensated well financially and had a glowing recommendation from him to aid them in getting a new job. After walking into his apartment, Skyler made his way straight towards his bathroom, what he needed right now is a bath and then a good night's rest. He couldn't be more pleased that it is Friday. His heart skipped in his chest as it has been doing since he
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter seventeen: how was lunch with Skyler?
The days flew by like the wind and before Adriana could count her toes it was Friday. Thank God. Work as usual was hectic not that she could remember any of the things she did. Her mind had been split between work and thinking of Skyler. She hasn't been able to get the guy out of her head which is very unusual. Her thoughts about any guy she has been with end as soon as she orgasms and then they are old story but that is not the case with this one. Funny irony she is yet to fuck him. Adriana drove into the bar she was meeting her friends and parked. She stepped down and then adjusted the short simmering blue she had on and made her way towards the entrance. This evening her friends decided to go on low-key. The place was teeming with few patrons despite it being Friday. The ambiance of the place was serene and cool. It didn't take her long to spot her friends. They were at a table near the wall but with a perfect view of the door. Like usual Shannon had the seat facing the door, she
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter eighteen: you are late, he growled.
Adriana grew nervous as the phone began to ring, her heart sped up, racing in her chest while her hands grew a little cold. She didn't know why she was nervous, but she was. The phone rang for a while without being picked making me a little worried. Has the guy gone to bed? She could feel the expectant looks from her friends and that was worsening her nerves. A weak embarrassing smile appeared on her lips as she continued to listen to the phone ring without being picked up. As she was about to give up, the click sound of the call being picked up filtered through the phone. His voice when it came through was sad and lifeless, sparking up a worried feeling inside Adriana's heart. " Hey, are you okay? " she questioned sitting up. Her friends' brows lifted at the tenderness in her voice, and the worried look she was spotting. They have never seen their friend look this worried about a guy. Adriana laughed at the sound of disbelief in his voice when he tried to confirm her identity.
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter nineteen: This is causal for me
Just like every other day, Skyler's inner alarm clock woke him up just before his alarm went off. He made some sleeping sounds turning around to check the time. It was just 6 am. His body felt languid and in the mood to lazy around in bed. Like there is an inner feeling that he has nothing critical to do today. Then like an alarm went off in his head, he was reminded of what today is and what will be happening. His heart skipped and began to race in his chest. All of a sudden he was filled with nerves about the upcoming date. Last night it took him a while to calm his mind to be able to fall asleep. It was so overactive analyzing everything that could go wrong at the date or what they will do. He threw around several possibilities in his head, and then he began to worry if he will be a good date companion. This is going to be his first date and even though it is all about the blonde convincing him to have a more serious relationship with her, he couldn't help being scared that he mig
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter twenty: Does that mean you love me?
Adriana was a bit thrown for the loop when Skyler stated that the formal wear he had on was his causal. Does the guy never relax? she thought but outwardly she was a perfect look of blankness, which changed to one of sheepish shyness as she remembered what is in her hand. " Here, " she stretched out her hand to Skyler, her face taking on the glowing color of a very ripe tomato. On her hand was a beautiful banquet of red roses, this was her first, a spur of the moment which she decided on as she was racing down to Skyler. A little cute frown pulled at Skyler as he took the flowers from the blonde. " Thanks, " he said as if he was thinking about the word. He hadn't expected the flowers. " Does that mean you love me? " he asked with a deadpan expression on his face. Adriana choked on her spit, coughing a little as her lids blinked severally at Skyler. " Excuse me! "Still maintaining a straight face, Skyler's eyes flicked from the roses on his hand to the stunning blue eyes of the blo
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter twenty one: The N of the O, NO.
The silence in the car became stiffening making Skyler's nerves worse. His fingers have been twitching since he sat down which was irritating the hell out of him. He wasn't the type to be nervous. He was always cool and has always been able to handle anything he finds himself in so why for god's sake does the blonde make him nervous. He took a shot at her face from his side eyes and couldn't help admiring her. She was really a beautiful woman. And the smile on her face made her look radiant that his heart leaped in his chest. " What is funny? " he couldn't help his curiosity. Adriana who have been lost in her head turned to look at him with a flash of confusion in her blue eyes. " What? "" You are smiling, " Skyler pointed towards her lips as if the blonde couldn't see it. " Oh, " Adriana mumbled reaching her hand to her lips to touch the smile. She had a puzzled look like she didn't know she was smiling. " I am just happy, " she shrugged at Skyler as she continued to drive, her

Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter thirty: You have a weird taste
Skyler looked down feeling a little ashamed. He doesn't know what made him admit what he just did. His childhood has not been a normal one and diving into the horrors that shaped his childhood was not the way he wanted to start this date. He braced himself and looked up at Adriana who was gawking at him as if he has several heads. Guess it is a foreign notion to have someone who has never tasted ice cream before in his life. Ice cream was one of the sinful pleasures of childhood that every kid had indulged in, every kid except him. His mother had been a healthy diet fanatic who couldn't stand her only child eating anything that wasn't healthy. Ice cream was one of the little things she denied him growing up. " Can you pretend you didn't just hear that? " he requested. His tone was part pleading and part serious. He wasn't ready to answer the questions that he was sure to follow. Adriana started to shake her head at Skyler's request. He can't just dump such a huge bomb on her and
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter twenty nine: Date one: Ice cream date
You can never go wrong with ice creamAdriana was a nervous wreck. Today is D day of her date with Skyler. After the shamble that was their first date, this was giving her jitters. She had not been able to sleep a wink as her thoughts roamed around her date with Skyler. Even before the sun kissed the sky she was already up and heading towards her kitchen for a much-needed wake-up call of her coffee shot. Now she was fully dressed and ready. A nervous look at her wristwatch revealed that she was a few minutes late. They had made arrangements for her to pick Skyler up at nine am but her watch told her she was five minutes late. It must be a curse or something that no matter how early she starts she always ends up late. She sped out of her house like it was on fire. This date she was determined to make it memorable to wipe out the bad memories of their first date and already she was off to a bad start. She wasn't looking forward to that superior frown that is sure to be on Skyler'
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter twenty eight: The dates are back on.
Adriana barely tasted her dinner and when she arrived home she still couldn't forget. She kept visualizing Skyler with the brunette and the smile on his face. The more she thought about them the more restless she grew. When she couldn't take the disturbing thoughts anymore she came down from her bed and went to the kitchen where she took out a bottle of half-opened Brandy and a wine glass and went to her kitchen table and sat down. She poured a little into the glass and drowned it and then another and another and only stopped at the third glass. The burning drink in her system still couldn't help with her troubling thoughts. She stood to her feet and began to pace around her kitchen with another glass in hand. Why can't I stop thinking about him? She wondered in annoyance walking from one end to another. She wasn't like this. Has never been this hung up on a guy before. " What are you doing to me, Skyler, " she groaned hitting her head on the wall. She kept hitting her head tryin
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter twenty seven: Sizzling with jealousy
The restaurant Daniela picked was a popular one in the city and as usual most of the seats were filled with Patrons. Their entrance barely sparked any curiosity in the people inside who were more focused on their meals and conversing with their dinner mates. The table arrangements had four, three and two seats so they went for the three table seat arrangements since they were waiting for another person. Being a gentleman he is, Skyler pulled out a chair for Daniela before taking his seat. When they sat down Daniela quickly picked up the menu on the table to keep herself occupied. Honestly, she felt a little nervous around Skyler. " Are we ordering now or waiting for your girlfriend? " Skyler asked looking in her direction from above his menu. " Fiancee, and yes we are waiting that is if you don't mind? She will join us in the next... Daniela looked at the slim golden chain watch on her slender wrist... ten minutes. "" Oh, I don't mind. Maybe we can have some drinks and you can t
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter twenty six: Dinner
The beautiful bright Monday morning sun found Skyler behind his desk head over his laptop working. He had a stern and concentrated look on his face as his slender long fingers moved intermittently on his laptop. This strong concentration was interrupted by the ringing of the intercom on his desk. It was the reception desk downstairs in the lobby calling.His brows furrowed into two frowny lines, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face. Skyler hated being interrupted when he is working. He glared at the intercom like it was its fault for ringing before he picked it up. " Hello, " his deep smooth voice resonated through the telephone" Mr. Rivers, there is a woman here to see you but she doesn't have an appointment, " a syrupy female voice answered on the other end. Skyler's brow wrinkled. Who could this woman be? His heart leaped from his chest to his throat when he imagined who it could be. Is she here? Does that mean she regrets what she has done and has come to apolog
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter twenty five: Who is she?
" Do you like him? "Adriana's heart skipped in her chest at her mother's question. " I don't know mum? " she whispered with the vulnerability of a child seeking guidance from her parent." Well, I have to say he is hot and I don't blame you if you do. "" Mum! " Adriana screeched feeling a little mortified on her mother's behalf. " Hey! old, not blind, " the older woman defended" How did you even know what he looks like? "" There is something called the internet. I asked google. " Adriana laughed again before letting out a sighShe was lost on what to do about Skyler. Her sigh was a lot of words to the woman on the other side who knows her child so well.She will not be this disturbed if she didn't like the young man in question. She had called to tell her daughter not to go through with whatever her husband had her involved in. She was not going to sit back and watch her husband push their child into marrying someone she doesn't love, but from what is happening right now it mi
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter twenty four : Do you like him?
" Why didn't you let me finish off back there? I knew you were very horny. "Adriana stumbled as her face burned. She didn't want to look in a mirror right now because God knows she will be wearing the face of ripe tomato fruit. She opened her mouth to answer severally but nothing came out. She was just too dumbfounded to offer any reasonable words. The woman not receiving any answer stopped suddenly and turned to face Adriana, a hungry look in her eyes. Adriana not expecting her to stop nearly ran into her but caught herself in time. " I am so so... " the words died suddenly in her mouth as she looked to see the woman eyeing her like she was a piece of meat. Adriana felt her heart leap to her throat as she swallowed with difficulty. Everything grew silent because all she could hear was the beating of her heart. " What are you doing? " she gasped out and closed her eyes at how husky and shaky her voice sounded. When she opened it she blinked to find the woman right in front
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter twenty three: The stranger in the bar
Inside the cab, Skyler wouldn't stop thinking about the blonde no matter how much he tried and it was pissing him off. He wanted to go straight home and forget that this day happened but at the same time, he didn't want to be alone. His mind seemed to be at an impasse on the decision to make so he just stared out of the window while his cab driver chatted about some celebrity news involving an actor caught cheating on his wife. Skyler craved some quiet but didn't know how to tell the cabby to shut his trap. Being rude is never him so he resigned himself to his incessant chatter. At least the noise from the Cab driver was distracting him from his troubled thoughts. No woman has ever disturbed his mind like the blonde and he didn't like that one bit. The women he has had the misfortune of dealing with are always forgotten before his fifth step away from them. His eyes stared vacantly at the scenery as they passed, the buildings, the shops, and the human beings walking on the pedest
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter twenty two: The sexy massage.
Skyler couldn't believe he wasted his time on this. That is why he never bothered to date. All the women are the same shrews and stubborn just like his mother. He has lost the zeal to fight with the blonde and just wanted to go home. Since she is insisting on not taking him home he will just have to find his way home. He stared at the blonde feeling a little disappointed that this will be the end of them. He had liked her even if it was a tiny bit. She had made him happy the little while they were together. Well, it wasn't meant to be. He didn't say another word to the blonde and just turned to head home. He will just call himself a taxi. Adriana expected Skyler to argue more when she said she wasn't taking him home and not the resigned disappointed look that appeared on his face making her appear like an org. If he wasn't going to apologize and just walk off like a child throwing a tantrum then he should suit himself, Adriana huffed and walked towards her friends. Her friends s
