The CEO's Chance

“Will you please come with me?” pleaded my now very annoying best friend.Ava Abner has been my best friend since elementary. We showed up to our first day of school in kindergarten and noticed we were using the same backpack and sat next to each other at lunchtime. We’ve been close ever since that day, we’re practically sisters.I pulled my attention away from the computer screen that displayed the unfished homework that I was trying to complete, “No Ava.”“You’re going to pass up on going to one of the most popular shows ever!?” Ava asked as if the fact that I was denying her offer was ludicrous. She groaned and put her hands on my shoulders. She l

A smug look formed on his face, “I don’t know if that’s true.” He shrugged nonchalantly, “I’ve been told my charm could melt the hearts of the coldest women.”“Well, I’m not like every woman you’ve ever met,” I sneered.This guy must be a real Casanova. I give myself a mental pat on the back for not tripping over my own feet, to sink my claws into this man. Then again, I’ve never done that before and I don’t instead start now.Especially not this guy. Surprising me, he nodded his head in agreement, “You certainly aren’t.”Was that supposed to be an insult or compliment?

I gave him a once-over. It wasn’t hard for people to buy a fancy out and return it the next day. There are some really good actors out there that will play to get what they want. This guy could be a handsome poser for all I know. He could be some drug addict that sleeps with women then steals their money in the middle of the night while the girl is asleep. Then once they have it, they run.I narrowed my eyes, trying to hide the interest I was secretly feeling at finally being able to know his name, “What’s your name?”"Michael Collins, but my friends call me Mikey.” He answered proudly.“Mikey,” I say testing it out. I could finally put a name to the handsome face.His eyes darkened when his name passed through my lips.“Yes,” his voice hoarse. Clearing his throat, “When you see that I’m telling the truth. I deserve a reward.”“A reward?” I repeated the word,

“You didn’t call me” a deep voice whispered in my ear.Startled, I screamed. Turning around, I hit the person behind me with my bottle that I held in my hand. They groaned in pain and it took me a second to realize who it had been. My heart beating fast. From both shock and the man, himself that was currently holding his face in agony. Rubbing the pain away from the bottle that I hit him with. I covered my mouth in shock.It was Mikey.“Dammit Angel!” he groaned. “You swung that damn thing at me, like Babe Ruth swinging a baseball bat.” He snapped. The bruise that was forming on his face must be hurting like hell because my bottle was a hydro flask.My eyes widened from the scolding, “In my defense, you scared me!” I snapped back. “I thought you were a stranger coming to attack me.”I am currently sitting outside at a table enjoying my meal. The last class I had for today had finishe

The door beside us opened and he finally released me. I quickly grabbed my bag beside us and stepped out of the car feeling embarrassed that his chauffer saw us in that position. It probably isn’t a surprise to him.Mikey stepped out and fixed his tux. “Thank you, Silas.”Silas nodded, “Sir.” Then shut the door, and walked waked back to the driver’s seat, and drove off after getting in.I looked up at the beautiful Victorian four-story house farmhouse. It expressed both a casual and luxurious theme. The verandas expanded wide along with the house. I marveled at its beauty on the outside. If it was this mesmerizing on the outside, I can only imagine what it looks like on the inside.Watching me stare at his house in awe, Mikey says “What’s the verdict?”I cleared my throat, “It’s very beautiful.”He looked back at it fondly and a small smile graced his face like he was ho
