1127 Words
Jerk face Billionaire's son Chapter 5 The rest of my day was spent in one classroom to another. At the sound of the closing bell, I quickly rushed to my locker, to keep my books. Carrying my bag, I left the school building. Our school courtyard was a very broad one, and at the parking lot, I could see many beautiful convertibles amongst others. Leaving the school, walking my 5 blocks home, I cried inwardly. But then a car was horning. Turning slowly, was Asher, in a blue Mercedes, it was the 2018 version because its design was exquisite. Lowering his car glass, he popped his head out and asked "Can I give you a ride" Looking at him as a savior, really wanting to hop into the vehicle without any hesitation, but then, I restrained my steps thinking that he will see me as desperate. Shaking my head, declining, but he didn't take "NO" as an answer. Rather, he came down from his car, when around to the front seat, opening it and bowing majestically, he said once more in a sweet, and baby tone, I'm sure that must have hurt. He said, "Please Anna, will you permit me to give you a ride home?" Smiling sheepishly I nodded and hopped into the car. Closing the door, he hurried to take his place behind the steering. I live five blocks from here, at Bright Avenue street, the fifth house from the left, House number A.24 I said. Still driving, he didn't tear his eyes from the road, bowing my head thinking he wasn't listening to what he had said, but then he said changing the topic. I am famished. What if we stopped at a Brunch to pick up somethings?? He asked but then I rejected "Eh mm, you know I do not know anything about you, and I don't want to be accepting treats from you". I said, fondling with my bag. But I was shocked by his reply "Ms. Harley has entrusted me in your care, so I trust her judgment. Now it is me making sure I'm taking care of her" widening my eyes, I blurted out, "This is the most ridiculous thing I've got to hear" taking a turn that is opposite from the direction to my home, we headed uptown. It was another 15 minutes drive then he parked in front of a restaurant. Wow, this was a classic place, and the meals were quite expensive. Turning to face him I said, "I do not have money to pay, because I heard Crystal's Food was expensive to afford."And Who said you were paying for any meal ordered?, please let's just have something good in our bellies" Wow, I slapped myself thinking why I deserved the meal. Not that I wasn't pretty, I was fair enough, had a heavy lock of chestnut hair, my eyes were gray and I was slim. I'm not even that pretty as compared to the other ladies in my grade. Asher Opening my door, allowing me to come down the car, he led the way to the Restaurant. Inside, was a fanciful environment. It was organized with prior attention to spaces that could be needed. Asher signed in for a table for two and was led to Table 9. It was beautiful and located beside their window, where I could see the outside. The table was dressed in pink and white embroidery, a flower jar containing a rose flower was sitting at the center of the medium size wood table. A waiter approached and offered us some cocktails. He poured the liquid into the glasses that laid in front of us and gave us the menu. It consisted of many foods like; Italian Spaghetti, Blue cheese, and turkey, amongst others. I didn't know what to choose, so looking at Asher, I whispered "Will you please order something out of this menu list for me??" I said in my little voice that he had to strain his ears before listening. Staring at me, he brimmed with laughter, and then, he said "Sure, anything for you misses" raising his hand in a sign for the waiter to come, he ordered "French Fries and celery sauce with bacon, for two please" writing in a note, the lad took it away, and there he was staring at me as his life depended on it. "I like you already, you seem not to always do anything, but your innocence intrigues me a lot. Do you mind sharing more about yourself with me? I'll be happy to know you". I was about to answer him when the waiter came in with our commands and the food smelled yummy already. Putting a napkin on my thighs and ignoring his question, I used my cutlery to cut off my meat In a reasonable chunk and put it in my mouth. It was delicious though. So sweet I didn't notice I was moaning from the taste. I didn't know I was entertainment to someone till I hear him clear his throat. "Huh hmmm, I'm happy you are enjoying the meal". He said. Much later, after the meal, he paid the bills, we came out of the Eatery, and off, into the soft cushion of his car. Inside the car, he hesitated to start the car, but looking at him I spoke, "What would you like to know about me? I am just a boring high school girl with no friends, and a boring lifestyle. I will be Seventeen in two months, and I hate it when I am being ignored" when I finally closed my mouth, his hard long stare was something I couldn't break. He looked speechless for a minute, clueless about what to say. "Let me be your friend, I promise never to hurt you" these sincere words made my heartache. "If that is a plea, then it is granted." "Yes.. You wouldn't regret this ever". Starting the car, following my directions, he alighted in front of my house, but I was rather feeling reluctant to go out. Mounting the right will, I turned to him "Thank you for the wonderful double treat, I owe you a lot. "you are welcome anytime" advertising all his teeth, making me smile too. The sun was almost setting, so I had to rest for the day had been a long eventful one in a million day. Stepping out of the car, I walked to my porch and pushed the door open, it was still locked, so removing the keys where I had left them in the morning, I unlocked the door. Heading to my bedroom, I jumped on the bed face downwards remembering all the events of the day till sleep stole my attention away.
