The arranged beginning

Last chance

"Mr Wilson told me everything, he said it went well and he was happy about how everything is going" it was a message from my dad.

I went to the fridge and drank water. Am tired of all this, I have been crying since I got back. I don't know why all these is going well for these people.

Am sure dad knew what he was doing by sending me texts. He knows am going to keep begging him and trying to change his mind if he called or if I see him.

He's always leaving early and coming home late, sending text messages.

I went back to my room and I lay on the bed for a while. I heard a sound from my phone, it was another message from my dad.

"Myles told me he will like to know you more so I have arranged for another date tomorrow this one is going to be a dinner. I will send you the address later"

Know me more? Who the f**k did he think he was! He was just making fun of me Isn't?

Another date for what? Wait........

That's means I still has a last chance isn't? I still have a chance!

"Yea!" I shouted happily.

I can't believe there's still chance for me. This going to be my last chance so I must use it right.

I went to my mom room, to check if she's home. I opened the door and she was also about to open it, So our eyes both met.

Immediately she saw me she shouted "AAAHHH!!!"

"What happened?" I move forward to her.

"Maeve??" She called my name with a surprised face

"Yes mom"

"Why the hell did you f*****g look like this? I thought I just saw something else!" She yelled

"Oh! Because of my look?" I forgot my terrible makeup is still on my face

"Omg what happened? You look so horrible!!"

It was because I cried and all the mascara which i used a lot to make me look very bad and ugly, I wash down on my face. I can imagine how I look right now but it’s wasn’t going to be much worse

"It was because you are shocked, of course you are not expecting me to open the door the time you also wanted. You know we have these things called telepathy" I said with a smile.

"What the heck is that! Your teeth!! Black? Where does it come from!! You look so bad" she shouted.

"Mom stop exaggerating!" I said not believing.

My mom drag me in her room, she put me in front of the mirror while she's standing at the back

"What!" It came out from my mouth suddenly cause am also shocked

I think I over did it. It's too much I just wasted all my expensive makeup kit on this yet that silly guy didn't fall for it. Am going to do better now.

I smirked at my thought.

"Oh my Gosh! What is wrong with you. You making that face make you look like a psychotic lonely creeping ghost!!" She shouted.

"Oh! Sorry I was busy with my thoughts. Am also shocked by the way I look" turning my face to her

"Ahhhhhh!"she shouted again.

"Why did you suddenly turn? You look like a real ghost!" She added then pushed me to the bathroom

"I think it's wil be better if you wash your face first. At this point I might die of shock" she said and closed the door, leaving me alone in the bathroom.

“No way mom”

I look at myself in the mirror, I look really horrible. I must use my last chance well but I don't have any idea left, I don't know how to avoid it.

I don't love that guy, he may be good looking but I don't have any feelings for him. I don't want to accept the thing they called fate.

Moreover there where a lot of things I wanted to do. I am still innocent in everything, I don't want to be inexperienced before marriage. I wanted to know what dating feels like, share my first kiss, Calling him my boyfriend, babe and more. I don't care if he's rich or not, if will love each other a lot then we move on to marriage.

That's the kind of life I wanted not spending it with that silly rude guy. He's too arrogant and I don't know his problem with me! He has a girlfriend but won't let me have mine!

I think he knows am doing it on purpose that is why he was teasing me. but this next dinner I will be doing the same makeup. He thinks I would have changed and see a Cinderella looking lady, Sorry for disappointing you. Am apologizing in advance

I smirked at my plan for him.

"Maeve! Are you sleeping in there?? Wash your face and come out!" I heard my mom shouting.

“Okay!”

I quickly removed the fake teeth and use wipe for the foundation to clean then I started washing my face

******************************************************

"Oh my God I looked extra horrible tonight!" I said looking at my face. But who am I to hate the look that will help me.

I combined the dress wrongly, then I wear different colors that doesn't match.

"This is crazy!" I blurted out

And am going to be really late this time, I don't f*****g care if he's angry or not. I just want him to hate me and feel irritated

"Am done and ready for whatever that's is coming" I said and went outside

As I went out and I saw my personal guard who was waiting for me so that he can escort me but I declined.

"My look right now doesn't worth it so I would like to go alone" I said and entered the car.

I left my house by past eight but I got there quarter to nine. I rechecked my phone to see the message my dad sent to me. He told me to be there by 7:30 with the address of the restaurant

7:30?

I scoffed thinking about it. I entered the restaurant and it was also a private place, it look like a restaurant for those business owners who want to eat and talk business in private. I thought am going to enjoy my dinner in a place with a nice view.

I entered the reserved room and to my surprise he's not there yet!

"Wow! I can't believe this"

I wanted to make him wait but he's not even here yet.

"Believe what?" I heard a voice at my back

I was shocked to see him at my back. That's mean we probably got here at the same time.

"You are late!" I said facing him

"Late? I think the correct sentence was we are both late. I was behind you when you came and you didn't even notice" he said calmly and sat down.

I hate him. He's always so cool

"Okay" I agree with him.

Since you are saved from waiting for a long time. I will use another way to frustrate you.

There is a waiter in the room which has the menu in his hand. He moves close to Myles and said "Sir" as he give him the menu. He has ordered what he wants

The waiter then come to me and says "ma'am" pointing the menu to me. I collected it and smile

Their food were really expensive here! I love it

"Erm......." I was thinking of what to pick

"Italian white alba truffle and a juice"

"Juice??" He arch a brow

"I don't want to drink" I replied

My drinking capacity is low and I don't want to ruin my plans

The waiter left and I look at Myles for us to start the conversation which was the reason why we are here.

I smiled and said.

"How was it, teasing me?"

"Seeing you smile makes me realize that you didn't remember to wear your fake teeth" he said staring at me.

Yeah that's right! I didn't! I just ruined my plans how can I even forget? He would have knew that it's fake since it was there 3days ago and now it's gone But am going to deny it I can’t give up easily.

"Fake teeth as how?"

"You know what am talking about" he said and the waiter came back to serve us what we ordered.

Everything was silent and we started eating. Myles ordered grilled cheese and a bottle of Montalcino

We started eating in silent for a while before Myles broke the silence.

"You are really good at doing the restaurant etiquette even the way you eat and everything but it doesn't fit your image right now"

"Oh! Really?" I said forcing a smile

What is he trying to say? It didn't fit the image am wearing right now? Did he mean I look crazy? I know I look like it but he don’t need to say it out isn’t it? this rude guy lack manners. I don't like him at all, Just handsome for nothing!

"You don't like me?"

"What?" with a shocked face, I looked at him with a deep expression

How did he know? Don't tell me he's a supernatural being! Can he hear my thoughts?

"How did you know?" I asked with very confused face

He smiled and replied

"Wow! You are not even denying it. But I knew just now, I know you are busy with your thoughts definitely cursing me, but the expression you are giving me says it all"

He's such a genius. I guess he's good at reading someone's eyes.

He said am not even denying it. Why will I deny it? He's so rude and aren’t. I don't even want to get married! And he wants to, So what??

"Here will go again" he said and take a sip "You are making that face again!"

"Oh! Sorry" I replied shortly

I wanted to be replying him shortly because I wanted him to feel the way I felt last time.

"I noticed you don't really want to talk to me, Is it because I said I wanted to marry you?" He asked while staring at me.

I stop eating and cleaned my mouth with a napkin.

"Yes! You are rude and you always replied me with short answers if I asked you a question and you always act like you are the coolest person in the world!"

"Really?" He arch a brow and also stop eating.

"See? You are doing it again" folding my arms and I rolled my eyes

When he look at me like that he always looks so handsome and that's annoying because I look like a freak while he's looks so hot. Yet he's not falling for my look!

"Okay, how about you stop the hate and let's work in cooperation with each other" he said calmly.

Cooperation as how?
