74. Help Him, Please.
"Audre! Wake up!"
Someone shook Audre awake. She groaned in frustration as she was having an amazing dream. And now it was ruined by the rude awakening.
"Ugh...what?" she said when she opened her eyes.
"You gotta get up. Aleks is leaving."
Audre's eyes snapped open, and she saw Kim's concerned face.
"What are you talking about?" Audre asked.
"He got in trouble for beating up Ronnie, so Elliot is kicking him out of the camp," Kim said.
No.
This can't be happening, Audre thought.
Aleks works so hard on this camp and now he is being kicked out because of her! She felt terrible.
"I need to go see him," she said. She quickly got up and got ready.
Aleks was in his cabin, packing his bags. He had a dark shadow looming over her face.
"Aleks." Audre's voice was barely audible. She felt like crying.
Aleks looked up and for a brief moment, his eyes lit up. "Hey cutie, you're up early."
Angela Lynn CarverDo you think Ansel can help Aleks? What will be his reaction be when they meet?

Ansel paced back and forth, thinking about Audre. That girl was just supposed to be having fun, but now she got herself wrapped up with some boy. He keeps telling her boys bring trouble, but she never listened. "Would you stop pacing? You are making me nervous," Elisa said. "Audre ran into trouble with some of the counselors. I knew I shouldn't have let her join that stupid camp!" Ansel said irritably. Elisa looked concerned. "Is she okay?" "She is fine. Apparently, some guy saved her and got himself kicked out from the camp, and now she wants me to help him," Ansel said. "Aww, my baby finally got her first boyfriend," Elisa gushed. Ansel stopped pacing and glared at her. "No! She is not allowed!" he declared. "You stop it. She is a grown woman. Pretty soon, she'll leave here and get her own place. You can't keep an eye on her forever, you know," Elisa said. Ansel glared at her in response. "Just calm down, will you?" E
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 76. Making Her Miserable
Audre was lying on her bed. Aleks was already gone and she tried not to break down and cry. Things weren't the same since Aleks left. Blair didn't bother her anymore, which was good, but she missed Aleks constantly teasing her and getting on her nerves. During her break, she sat outside by the river, sulking. She frowned as she saw Mitch approaching. Oh great...she thought. He was one of Blair's thugs who was most likely coming to harass her some more. "Hey Audre," Mitch said. He smiled awkwardly. "What?" Audre barked. She had no desire to listen to his bullshit. Whatever that was. "I came here to apologize," Mitch said. "Yeah, right. I'm not falling for your tricks," Audre said. "This isn't a trick. I really am sorry. I tried to tell Elliot that it wasn't Aleks's fault and Ronnie and all of us are the real jerks, but he said it was too late to bring him back. I don't know why Elliot is being so stubborn," Mitch shook his head
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 77. Meeting the Parents
It has been a few days since Aleks arrived at home and he was miserable. Audre's innocent face kept lingering in his mind. He missed her. Maybe he should sneak into the camp at night and secretly meet her. He shook the idea away from his head as it could cause more trouble for Audre. She seemed excited to work at the camp and the last thing he wanted was to get her kicked out too. "Peter! Dinner!" his mom Alicia called from downstairs. "I told you to call me Aleks from now on," he said while coming down the stairs. Alicia rolled her eyes. "Just because you think Aleks is a cooler name doesn't mean I have to change what I call you since you were a child. Now eat your breakfast." "I am moving out!" Aleks announced. "With what money? Do you have a secret stash of money you've been hiding? If that's the case, I want my cut," Alicia grinned. Aleks chuckled and took a bite out of his toast. "Is there something wrong?" Alicia
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 78. He Came Back
Ansel waited until Aleks left, then called Elliot. Ansel didn't like that guy one bit, so he hoped this was the last time he has to have a conversation with him. After Elliot picked up the phone, Ansel instructed him to meet him in his office. He had some important matter to discuss with him, Elliot agreed to meet him right away, so Ansel waited for him impatiently. After an hour had passed, Elliot finally showed up. "You wanted to see me again, Mr. Adams?" Elliot asked. "Yes. I want you to give Aleksander his job back," Ansel said. Elliot looked at him with surprise. "But..." "No buts. I will make you an offer in exchange," Ansel said. Elliot looked interested. Ansel knew once he made the offer, Elliot wouldn't be able to resist it. "What kind of offer?" Elliot asked. "I am willing to sponsor your camp and donate two million dollars for you to build a better camp," Ansel announced. Elliot's eyes turned wide. There was
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 79. Prove It to Me
Blair and her friends stayed away from Audre after Aleks came back. Audre didn't know what Blair told some of the other counselors, but it seemed that they were ignoring her nowadays, isolating her. But it didn't matter. Nothing mattered anymore because Aleks was here and it made her happy. "Maybe you are in love with him, after all," Kim said one afternoon. "Don't be silly. It's too early for that," Audre shook her head. "I don't know...it wasn't too early for Aleks. He already admitted he loves you, didn't he?" Kim said. Audre blushed. He wasn't shy about announcing it in public, that's for sure. Ever since he came back, he made sure Audre couldn't get away from him. Maybe he was trying to keep an eye on her in case Blair did something else to her. Audre was cleaning up some dishes off of a table after lunch one afternoon and suddenly, someone grabbed her arm and pulled her to the side. "Aleks!" she exclaimed once she

"Audre, don't. I told you I was only joking." Aleks grabbed her hand and chuckled before she took his shirt off completely. Audre breathed slowly as she looked at his naked chest. He may be playing around but seeing him like this turned her on. "But I'm not joking," she whispered and trailed her fingernail across his chest. "Audre I..." Aleks stopped talking and moaned instead as she pressed her lips on his chest. She smiled as she felt him shudder. So she wasn't the only one sensitive to touches. She unbuttoned his shirt and took it off entirely. Aleks tangled his fingers through her hair as she covered his chest with small featherlike kisses. "This isn't going to end well," he growled. "You talk too much." Audre trailed her lips from his chest to his neck then stopped when they met his lips. Aleks's grip on her hair tightened. He slipped his tongue inside her mouth and kissed her harder while slowly backing her against the bed. She f

"What?" Audre asked as Kim kept staring at her in the morning. Audre managed to sneak back inside the cabin with her roommate's knowledge and quietly went to sleep. "Something is different about you this morning," Kim squinted her eyes. "You need glasses because there's nothing different about me. I'm the same old, boring Audre," Audre said. "I bet Aleks would disagree," Kim grinned. Audre blushed. Does Kim suspect something? But how could she know? "You're crazy. I'm going, I gotta lot to do," Audre giggled and ran out before Kim suspects anything more. The rest of the day, she spent time teaching kids and helping other counselors what whatever they needed. She stayed out of Blair's way as much as possible. She passed by Aleks, who was setting up woods on the firepit for the campfire later tonight. He flashed her a mischievous smirk, and it was turning her cheeks red. Memories of last night flashed before her e

"Guys, stop fighting! You can both play the game," Elisa said irritably as she watched Ira and Ivy fight over the controller. "No, we can't! This is a one person game, and Ira had been hogging it for two hours," Ivy complained. "No I'm not! It has only been 40 minutes," Ira said. "You are a liar!" Ivy screamed. "Am not!" "Are too!" "Alright girls, that's enough," Elisa scolded. It was a quiet afternoon and she wanted to lie down by the window and read. But now, it was not so quiet and relaxing anymore, thanks to the twins. Ira threw the controller across the room. The girl always had the worst temper. And now, at thirteen years of age, it has gotten even worse. "Ira! Do not throw things. I'm not buying you another one if it's broken," Elisa told her. Ira sighed. "I miss Audre. When will she get back?" "Me too. I miss her too," Ivy nodded. "The summer is almost over, so she'll be back soon. Until
