The Billionaire CEO Returns to College Chapter 12
Before she could say anything, another sound came through the door. This time it was a different voice and a different kind of grunt. The loud moan filled the air. Her eyes widened. A laugh burst through her lips. She clapped her hands over her mouth to keep it silent."Oh, Mr Banks," the moan came again. Faith unconsciously took a step forward. She thought she recognized the voice but she couldn't be sure.Casiuss put out a hand in front of her and stopped. He motioned to her to follow him. They left that area and went to a different room.It was a full-size gym. Every kind of equipment she would expect to see in a standard, commercial was there. "Wow." She stepped further into the gym."You like to gym?" Cassius asked."Do I look like I gym?" She asked with a laugh.He smiled at her. "I guess not. I hope you don't mind but since we're here, I'm just going to get some work in.""Oh, I don't mind at all."He started undoing his buttons. Faith swallowed heavily, the threads of antici

"Look here, Mr Banks.""Over here, Mr Banks.""Hi, Devlin! Devlin!"Everyone was shouting at once. The lights didn't stop flashing for a moment. Faith was starting to feel nauseous.Devlin was forced to slow down and stop the car lest he run over someone. The lights flashing in his face probably made it difficult to drive as well.He folded his hands and leaned back casually in the seat. Meanwhile, Faith practically cowered against the side of the door.She would open the door and make a run for it but they were everywhere, pressed up to the door, to the hood...everywhere! She couldn't even open the door."Hi," Devlin said as casually as he looked.Like magic, they all fell quiet. "How are you guys going today?""We're good, Devlin. Thanks for asking," someone shot back."Is this your new girlfriend, Mr Banks?" Another person asked."Who? Her?" He casually put his hand around her seat. What was he doing? Was he trying to destroy her? If someone took a picture of them in that position

Faith made her way back from her last lecture. She had a session scheduled with Devlin today so Casiuss would be around to pick her up any minute from now.She intended to thank Devlin today for clearing her name. She didn't know why that made her nervous. Actually, she did know. He would probably make some snide remark and make her feel stupid for even attempting to thank him in the first place.She sighed. She really did appreciate him. After her father called that night, she'd repeatedly sent up thanks that she'd been able to prove to him that nothing was going on between them.If they'd only seen the tabloids a few hours before, she didn't know how she would have convinced them. She knew her father. He would've shown up at Barbell and demanded to see Devlin.That would not end well for any one of them. She'd ended up sending him the latest articles disproving their romance as receipts and he finally believed her. Phew!The effect of his deed was also obvious here. No one spared h

Faith ducked her head, embarrassed.Devlin laughed heartily. "Let me guess, you haven't had dinner." She shook her head. "We should rectify that then.""I'm fine," she stated."Hey, don't make me look bad here. I'm not a taskmaster. How would I expect you to tutor me with no food in your stomach?""I'm okay. I'll eat when I get back," she insisted."Absolutely not!" He rolled his eyes. Just then there was a short rasp at the door and a man stepped in. "Can we get a clean plate and Cutlery? She needs to eat.""Sure thing, sir." He left the room quickly. Before long, he was back with a clean plate and Cutlery. He placed it carefully in front of her.Devlin pointed at the few plates she'd stacked earlier. "You can clean up the rest first.""Yes sir." He bowed and got to work. He piled all the plates together and moved them onto a trolley that was waiting outside. He left all the food for her to pick from.Faith sat and stared at the food, not sure where to start. "Try the rice and crab s

"I must've gone insane for a moment. Yup! That's the logical conclusion." Faith repeated to herself for the umpteenth time.Ever since that night that Devlin touched her hair and butterflies erupted in her stomach, she'd been questioning and reassuring herself.Some guy passing guy gave her an odd look and crossed to the other side of the walkway. Faith fought the urge to yell after him, "I'm not a crazy person." That would only make her look more insane.Plus who was she to say that she wasn't insane? Hadn't she just been telling herself that she went insane for a moment?The irony of the situation was not lost on her so she began to chuckle to herself. Yet another passerby gave her an odd look and moved away from her."Okay, you need to calm down," she said to herself. At this rate, she would be committed before she could make sense of everything.What she needed was to sit down and think. She would be seeing Devlin for their next session soon. She needed answers before then.She tu

Faith sat very stiffly in the passenger seat. Her hands were clutched tightly in her lap, knuckles turning white. They weren't in the BMW this time. He brought a different car. She recognized the car. It was the same one practically everyone at school had. It was supposed to be all the rave--a Mesla, they called it.Apparently, it ran on electricity instead of petrol. She wasn't sure what the difference was but everyone was really excited about it.Devlin glanced over at her mid-drive. "Are you okay? You seem...strange."Faith cleared her throat. "I'm fine." Her voice still came out in a squeak."Okay..." He said slowly, clearly not believing her."Are you sure?" He persisted."I'm good," she repeated.Devlin turned on some music to fill the awkward silence. They rose in silence, listening to the music after that.After some time, Devlin suddenly turned down the music. "I'm hungry? Are you?""What?" She asked, confused at the sudden line of conversation."I said I'm hungry. I haven't

Faith felt it then again, that tingle of electricity that started in her hand where they touched but zoomed to her stomach where it began to bounce around erratically.She was spiralling. Her brain was tumbling. Noise filled her ears. Her brain could only conjure up one thought, "What is happening to me?"She snatched her hand back sharply. Oblivious, Devlin grabbed the pitcher and pulled it to himself. He smirked at her. "Better luck next time," he jeered.Faith was too stunned to react. Her eyes were stuck on him, her heart beating fast and her stomach squirming.He looked up from pouring himself some water and caught the look on her face. "What?" He demanded. "Is there something on my face?" He immediately proceeded to feel around his face for it.Faith shook her head, managing to squeak out, "No.""You're being really weird today," he noted.She needed to get herself together before he started asking tough questions. She spoke the first thing that came to her mind, "What exactly d

"What!?" Devlin demanded, jerking back too.Faith cleared her throat. "Nothing," she muttered. "You've been acting weird all day. One would think I was trying to kidnap you." He didn't start the vehicle, turning instead to look at her."Sorry, I'm fine.""Are you sure you can take the lessons today? Maybe we should reschedule."Faith felt herself begin to warm up, a soft flush of heat, not the rush of electricity she felt before. This was the side of him that made her begin to see him in a new light.For all his arrogance and annoying attitude, Devlin was a caring person. He just hid his nice acts under a cocky attitude."I'm fine. You don't have to worry. I can take the lessons." Her mind screamed the opposite. No! You can't take the lesson. You can't afford to be in a room alone with him. Not the way you're feeling.She sighed quietly. He nodded, strapped himself in and drove out of the diner's parking lot. "So what did you think?" He asked mere seconds later.Confused, she looked

"Dev! Get out!" Faith yelled. "Out! Out!" Sheila yelled too, determinedly pushing Devlin out of the room. "You shouldn't be here. Don't you know that it's a bad omen to see the bride before the wedding?"Devlin groaned. "Come on! I don't believe in superstitions. Can I just see my lovely wife?""She's not your wife yet, mister. Not until the ceremony is complete. Plus, you saw her last night. You too idiots slept in the same bed. I don't understand why you can't stay apart for even a second." She got him out the door and slammed it shut in his face."Done," she declared, dusting off her hands and returning to Faith. There was a short knock at the door and it opened again.Sheila turned around in exasperation. "Devlin, if I have to tell you one more time--"But it wasn't Devlin who stepped in. Adele squealed and rushed over to Faith, pulling her into a hug. "Oh my gosh, honey, congratulations!"Faith hugged her back. "Thank you, Adele. I'm so glad you could fly in.""Girl, I wouldn't

Immediately Faith saw Devlin walk through the door, her heart started beating faster, her palms started sweating and her breathing became heavy.She was scared of how their encounter was going to go, but damn did he look good. He was dressed in black cargo pants and a teal green shirt. His hair was rough and uncombed. He'd obviously come straight from bed.As soon as he entered, his eyes started scanning for her until he saw her and their eyes met. He pressed his lips together and started walking towards her, not breaking eye contact.From the corner of her eyes, she saw Adele pulling a reluctant Sheila away and into the house to give them some privacy.“Faith”, Devlin said softly as soon as he reached her.“Devlin”, she replied, breaking their eye contact now that he was close. It felt uncomfortable to continue to look him in the eyes like that. Also, she was worried her heart would go into overdrive at the sight of him.It wouldn't do to show him how much he was affecting her. Not w

As she drove to his house, she could not help but feel nervous. This would be the first time she was seeing him since they went on the road trip together and he had all but said he’d be fine with whatever direction their relationship took.She had been a friend when he desperately needed one but now that she had offered all the help she could as a friend, she could not continue with that. And even though she was the one who severed their relationship in the fist place, she loved him too much to be able to accept that.She drove like a madman, remembering ironically that she'd called Sheila that just earlier that day. She was mostly nervous and worried for him but underneath the nervousness, she was excited to see him again and maybe that had a part to play in why she drove so fast too.She arrived at his house several minutes earlier than she should have, jumped down and practically ran to the front door. She pressed on the door bell.Devlin himself answered the door, but the sight th

After they had breakfast and washed the dishes, they moved to the living room to hang out. The next few hours were full of light-headed conversations while munching on snacks.Sheila suddenly reached out and smacked Faith on the head. "Hey! What was that for?" Faith complained.“We’re going to a pool party. You should come with us”, Sheila said with wide, innocent eyes. But her amused smile gave her away.“Yeah, you should come. It’ll be a lot of fun”, Adele added.“I don’t know. You know pool parties aren’t really my scene”, Faith replied shaking her head. “You guys go have fun.”“Not without you, babe”, Sheila said.“Yes, pleeease”, Adele added pleadingly.“I don’t know”, Faith said. She was not really feeling it.“Come on, you had a lot of fun yesterday, right?” Adele asked her.“Yeah, but that’s different. That was you two. This time it’ll be a bunch of people I don’t know”, Faith replied trying to convince them.“It’ll be a lot of fun. And you won’t be with the bunch of people,

They got to the movies just in time to see a rom-com movie. Sheila wasn’t much for it but it was the only movie left that hadn’t started. They got some popcorn and drinks and went in to the cinema.It was always nice to spend time with Adele and Sheila, though they did not do it very often. A little into the movie, they started started talking to each other, making funny comments about the actors.One of the attendants came up to them and told them to keep quiet. Apparently, someone somewhere had complained they were disturbing everyone. They agreed to keep it down and the attendant walked back up t his post.A little later, they could not help it and just started talking again. Adele who did not seem too enthusiastic about the movie at first started shouting out her comments loud enough for the entire cinema to hear them.The attendant started for them once more but seemed to decide against it halfway and turned back. Maybe because everyone was laughing and no one was complaining. Sh

They ate the dinner prepared by Laura and once again, they offered to wash the dishes. Laura agreed after much persuasion. Once they finished with that, they went back to the living room where they struck up a conversation.“So Faith, how did you meet Devlin," his father asked.“Devlin reapplied to College. He needed a tutor and fortunately for him, I was available--the highest scoring entrant that year.”“Tutoring him could not have been easy. He must have been a pain in the ass. Pardon my language.”Faith smiled. “Oh, don't worry about it. And yes, he we incredibly insufferable. He’s lucky I was patient because I don’t know what he would have done without me.”“Well, thank you for staying by his side even when he’s such an idiot”, he said looking at her in a way that made her feel like he also understood what was going on. Was that something every parent had, she wondered.Devlin didn’t seem to understand since he was just laughing. He looked like he was really happy to be back home

Walking up to the house seemed to take forever. Now that they were here, Faith could not help but be nervous. She was nervous for him of course, but she was also nervous for herself, because she was going to meet the parents of the man she had been dating. Well, use to date.She had no reason to be nervous since they were not seeing each other anymore- for the moment- and she was only supporting him as a friend. Her body however had a mind if its own as she could not stop fidgeting.Eventually, they got to the door but nobody knocked. Devlin seemed to be a little scared so she fought down her own nervousness and knocked for him.A few seconds later, a man who looked exactly like Devlin, except older, opened the door. Immediately he saw who his visitor was, his eyes widened in surprise and a smile gradually formed on his face."D-Dad, its-its been a while", Devlin said looking down unable to meet his father's eyes."Devlin. What are you standing there for? Give your old man a hug."Wit

"So, tell me what happened", Faith said immediately."Well, I got in, and we talked and...""Oh no, my bad. First, what happened at the door?""This is going to be long, isn't it?""Well, the faster you answer, the sooner it'll be over"."How about I just give you a detailed summary of what happened?""Ok, alright." "When I rang the doorbell and she opened up, she was of course surprised to see me. I couldn't tell if she was scared because she sent the letter or was just still angry. Either way, I was still to blame"."She asked me what I was doing there and I told her I just came to talk. Of course, she replied that I was a few years too late and I did not have any right to come into her home after all that time.""Then I remembered what you said about speaking from my heart and I just told her, "I know that I ran away, but I loved your daughter. And it's because I loved her so much, that I risked coming all this way and getting turned back to get a chance to make things right.""By

Two days later, Faith and Devlin were in her car on their way to Isabella's parent's house. They chose her car since it wasn't as flashy as his and conveyed at least a bit of humility.They had left very early in the morning. He had to drive to her house first since she insisted they take her car. He arrived to meet her ready, so they started the journey without him having to enter her apartment.It had been a very silent trip. He was terrified of what he was on his way to do. She didn't quite know what to say to him, so they spent their time doing separate things, her on her phone and he pretending to be focused on driving.After a while, he stopped the car on the side of the road and said to her, "Would you please take over driving. My hands can't seem to stop shaking"."Of course", she replied at once. She then immediately came out of the vehicle and switched seats with him.Once they were back on the road, he turned to her, "I don't even know what I'll say, how to start. I just te
