Gamble With My Heart

Hyacinth

POV ALEXANDER

“Dude I thought we made a bet about you making her fall in love with you. It seems you mistook the bet for who can piss her off the most.” 

I glared at Melvin across the table. I wasn’t in the mood for his jokes. Damn I feel like I’m on my period because I have been acting like a b***h all day. Why did that girl make me so pissed off, why did I feel the need to shout and insult her every time she came near me. Well I guess she has a shoutable face. I chuckled silently because I knew some people just had faces that screamed punch me just like Melvin had a punchable face, every time you see him all you wanna do is punch his face. 

“So I guess you not interested in the bet anymore. I guess you a loser. Are you a weakling now? Are you scared of women?” 

I knew Melvin was trying to piss me off so that he could get a reaction out of me. Let me tell you one thing, whatever he's doing is working because the fighter in me is burning up. I don’t care if she has a shoutable face or not. All I know is I’ve got to win this bet unless I would have to declare that I’m a loser and that’s something I refuse to do. We Greek men are brought up to have a lot of pride and I won’t let some woman diminish my pride.  

“Did I say I was backing off? I just think she’s too cheap for me.” I could get a girl like Mia in the blink of an eye. Girls that look sexy as sin but pretend to be righteous were always the easiest to get. 

“Be honest Alexander. What you think? Is she worthy?” Melvin asked me with a huge smirk on his face. Can I just punch him now and ask for forgiveness later?

“I don’t need a month to get her in my bed, all that can be achieved in a day. Women like her use their looks to hook men just so that they can suck money from them.” What other reason is there for a beautiful woman like her to be working in a high class restaurant when she could be modelling around the world. The only reason a woman like her would work here is to get their clutches on rich men. Women like Mia were blood suckers. The only difference is that she will be sucking something else once I’m done with her.

“Trust me you will need the month.” Melvin seemed awfully sure of himself. Did he know something that I didn’t know? Was he trying to set me up? I can’t lie I love the chase but the moment I catch the prey my desire for it disappears. For now I’m just going to focus on enjoying the game and humbling that little b***h. 

I turned around and I saw her across the room with her big green eyes and voluptuous body. I will enjoy riding her all night. I met women like her everyday, there was no difference between her and the dozens of women that have warmed my bed. I wish I kept a case of all the virgins I had disvirgined. That would be something good to look at and marvel at all my achievements. I normally disvirgin them and then get rid of them immediately. I don’t want them thinking I’m their first love or that I care for them. 

“Alex, are you hungry? Or do you wanna go to the club?”

“Yo! Alex! Alex!”

“What?”

“Don’t tell me you thinking about work right now?”

“If not for you I would be back at the office finishing up my presentation.” I lied to Melvin. I wasn’t thinking about the office. The girl across the room’s eyes had bewitched me. Was I the only one that saw her eye’s glow?

“I asked you if you wanted to eat here or go to the strip club?” 

As he said that my tummy grumbled. This was embarrassing. I’m a freaking billionaire, I shouldn’t be acting like everyone and showing weakness but one thing my grandfather always said is hunger will humble you. Everyone will stoop low and beg just to satisfy their hunger.

“I guess that’s a yes”

“No! I’m not hungr-” Before I could even finish my sentence Melvin already had his hand up calling for the witch with the green eyes.

“Mia, my friend over here is hungry.”

 I gave Melvin an intense look. Why did he have to embarrass me by telling her I was hungry? 

“Can we please have 2 Tomahawk steaks, 1 bowl of kimchi pasta and a small garden salad. Do you want anything else Alex?” 

I shaked my head and dismissed her with a wave of my finger. I heard her huff as she turned around. Doesn’t matter what type of impression you make on a person, all that matters is that you made an impression.

“Since when do you order for me Melvin?”

“Since I knew you were too stupid to order for yourself.”

“You are this close to my face connecting with your face.”

“I was always told I had a punchable face.”

I could never stay angry at Melvin. He never took himself too seriously. He was able to balance being serious at work and having fun privately. I took a sip from my drink and watched Mia walk towards our table with our food. The way she swayed her hips was so sexy, it made my d**k hard. 

“It took you a while to get our food.” I said that to see if she would react but she didn’t. Okay let me up it a level. I wanna see how far I can push her before she reacts. 

I took a bite of the salad and then exclaimed “It’s cold!” She gave me a perplexed look.

“Sir salads are supposed to be cold.”

“No they not.”

‘Do you want me to warm it up for you?”

“Hmm I’m not sure.”

I could see she was trying to control her emotions but I was winning because she wasn’t able to hide how pissed she was. I took a bite of the Tomahawk steak and then spit it out. “Too bland.” 

“I can speak to the chef and he can fix this for you. I’m sorry sir.”

“No, I don't want the chef to fix it. I want you to fix it.”

“I’m sorry sir but I’m not a chef.” I could see Melvin laughing across the table from me. I guess he was enjoying the show. 

“Why don’t you have a seat and watch me eat this food. At least seeing a beautiful face across the table could help me eat this.”

“I’m sorry sir but I cannot do that. It would be quicker and easier for the chef to just fix this.” 

“I didn’t ask for your opinion Mia. Now sit.” 

“I’m sorry sir but I cannot sit. I’m working right now.”

“I didn’t ask you, I’m ordering you to sit.” I stared her down to let her know I was serious. I hated it when women I wanted to f**k argued with me.

I watched her sit down on the chair in the middle of me and Melvin. I pulled her chair closer to me and rested my arm on her chair. 

“So Mia, tell me a bit about yourself.” She ignored me and looked at the door of the restaurant. I placed my hand underneath her chin and turned her towards me.

“I don’t like being ignored.” I watched her turn her head back towards the door. This girl was testing my patience. I placed my hand on her thigh and that’s when all hell broke loose. 

Mia got up from the table and grabbed a whole jar of ice cold water and dumped it on my head. I was wet from head to toe. s**t I was starting to regret this right about now.

“What the f**k is wrong with you, you stupid b***h?”

“Never in your life touch me! Never put your hands on me ever again!” She was screaming so loud and it was so embarrassing.

“I want to speak to your manager now.” If she wanted to scream then I would show her I had more power than her. My huge wallet meant I was more important in society than her.

“MANAGER NOW!” I watched an average young man with manicured hair and beard walk towards me. 

WAS MIA GOING TO BE A FIRECRACKER?
