The Billionaire CEO Returns to College Chapter 77
Days had passed since the lingerie incident and Faith and Devlin had settled back into their routine.They read, they studied...and Devlin couldn't keep his hands off her. In the past days, his self-control had taken a real blow.Now when they started making out, it was often Faith who had to pull back when they got too far much to Devlin's chagrin.She couldn't lie. She was quite enjoying it. Now she was the one with the iron grip on her will while he was the needy one. It was a welcome change of pace.On more than one occasion in the last few days, some maid or the other had stumbled upon them getting hot and heavy in some hallway or empty room.At this point, Faith just didn't have the strength to be embarrassed anymore. It had happened so frequently, there was just no point.Each time, she made it a point to apologize to whatever maid it was for scarring her poor eyes but that was that.Of course, it would be a different story if Mama Rose were to walk in on them making out. In th

Faith stepped out of the school building. A smile graced her face. She barely took in the excited chatter around her, staring up at the sky instead.She just wrote her final paper for the year and she was filled with happiness. Now she could spend time with Devlin without exams hanging over their heads.She did a little celebratory dance then blushed when she caught someone giving her an odd look. She hurried away.Devlin was supposed to pick her up. Where was he? She scanned the parking lot and immediately spotted the lone man leaning against the auspicious red car.He was clutching something in his hand that she couldn't see well. He spotted her and waved. Faith approached him.When she got closer, she could finally see what he was holding. He held a big card that said "Congratulations on your last paper" and a bouquet of flowers in the other hand.Faith squealed and ran up to him, jumping on him and throwing her arms around him. Devlin caught her with a laugh."You're going to sque

Faith woke slowly. She moved her arm first because it was in an uncomfortable position. "That's better," she thought sleepily.She and Devlin were a tangle of limbs and sheets. To untangle them, she would have to wake up completely and she didn't want to do that just yet.Yesterday's exam and the party had taken it's toll on her. In fact the stress of the past two weeks of exams had all come to a head that night.She wasn't even sure how she'd gotten to bed. The last thing she remembered was that she and Devlin had curled up on the couch after Cassius, Adele and Sheila left yesterday.There'd almost been a calamity when they were leaving with Adele tripping and almost falling but Cassius had gotten to her with impressive speed and caught her before she crashed head first into the floor.They'd hailed him as a hero, much to his chagrin. He left in a hurry after that, and the girls soon after.After all the hurrah of the night, Devlin must have carried her up to bed. Ugh, that meant she

A loud ringing sound pierced the air.Faith was jarred out of the wonder land of the book she was reading by her ringing phone. She sighed and put the book aside.She'd dropped her phone at the other side of the room so she had to get up and walk across the room to grab it.It was probably Devlin calling to say hi. He'd gone off to work early that morning just like he had every day that week. He'd formed a habit of calling her during the day to check up on her and make sure she wasn't getting bored on her own. She wasn't.He'd taken her out to a bookstore during the weekend and bought her ten new books, one of which she'd just been reading. She was unlikely to be bored anytime soon but no matter how many times she told him that she wasn't bored and he shouldn't worry, he still called to check up on her.Faith picked up the phone and peered into the screen but it wasn't Devlin's name that popped up this time."Who could this be?" She thought to herself, frowning. She picked the call

"I got a call to come in, sir. Is there any problem?" Faith asked immediately they were both seated.The man blinked in surprise. "Oh, right, about that, you were here some weeks ago about taking on more courses and I never heard back from you about that so I called you in."Faith deflated in her chair. "Oh my gosh," she murmured."Is there a problem?" The dean asked, worried."No." Faith began to laugh with relief. He looked even more worried. Faith sat up and comported herself. "I'm sorry. It's just that I thought it was something about my exams."His face brightened with understanding. He laughed. "Oh, I see. No, it's nothing like that.""I'm so relieved. I was worried I'd lost my scholarship.""I could show you your results if you want," he offered."That would be wonderful, thank you."He tapped at his keyboard for a few minutes and pulled up her result. He turned the screen to her. "There you go."Faith scanned through everything quickly. She sighed with relief. She'd passed eve

"Happy birthday to you.Happy birthday to you.Happy birthday to you, dearest.Happy birthday to you."Faith woke up to the sound of Devlin's voice singing to her. She stretched with a smile on her face."Thank you," she said when the song ended."You're welcome." He tried to kiss her.Faith drew back. "I haven't brushed my teeth yet.""When has that ever stopped me?""True," she said with a laugh and let him kiss her."Remember the surprise I told you about?""Of course. Thanks to you I've been living in suspence.""Well, you don't have to wait anymore. It's downstairs waiting for you.""Finally!" Faith hopped off the bed. "Let's go already!""Geez, calm down. It's not doing anywhere."She rushed down to the living room anyway. "Hello? Sheila? Adele? Cassius? Mama Rose? I know you guys are here. Come on out!"No one jumped out at her yelling surprise. She turned to Devlin who was standing at the doorway, watching her with a smirk."There's no one here!""I never told you that there w

Faith pulled into the parking lot of the mall. Adele's brand new car was right behind her followed by Sheila's. Miraculously, she found an opening with three parking spaces side by side.Faith pulled into the first one, followed by Adele and then Sheila. As though timed, they opened the door at the same time, stepped out and put on their sunglasses.It was all Faith could do to keep herself from laughing out loud. It was like a scene from a movie. They would be the super rich, cheerleader friends who moonlighted as mean girls.Lots of eyes were on them. Faith could feel the admiration...and in some cases envy, rolling off them in spades.She ignored all of them and headed into the store with her friends, side by side. How many times has she watched rich young girls driving past in their cute little convertibles and cute little outfits and wished that she could be one of them.She was one of them right now, and by god it felt good! She reveled in their gaze on her, knowing that for the

Faith was glad that she'd allowed the girls talk her into buying new outfits for the trip to Paris. Walking hand in hand with Devlin on the streets of Paris, it was glaring how stylish and beautiful everyone was.They'd had the car drop them off a little ways from the Eiffel tower so they could enjoy a walk down the quaint streets of Paris and she was loving every second of it.Faith was already in love with the city and they'd only been there a few hours. They took a first class flight to Paris late in the day and arrived at about 5'o'clock. The next couple of hours were spent checking into their hotel room and getting ready for the night ahead.It was currently a few minutes to eight, a perfect time to see the tower according to Devlin. They walked leisurely. There was no hurry, as Devlin had reminded her when she took off at a brisk oace immediately they alighted.But she couldn't help it. She was so excited! Faith had never been to Paris, of course. Her only knowledge of the Eiffe

"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
