Make YOU Love ME

CHAPTER 6: Please

Alexa's POV

We are now in class. I didn't bother listening to the discussion because I was too busy staring out the window. Suddenly, someone started talking into the speaker.

"Ms. Alexandra Smith, could you please go to the principal office. I repeat, Ms. Alexandra Smith, could you go to the principal's office? "

"Did I do something wrong?" I asked Sam

"I don't know Lex but just go there." I nodded at her.

I walked to the principal office. I'm not nervous at all because I didn't do anything wrong. I knocked on the door and someone said, "Come in."

"You are asking for my presence?"

"Oh yeah, Ms. Smitg, someone wants to talk to you." Our principal said, "These are Mr. and Mrs. Halston. They are the owners of this school."

"Hi Good Day! I am Alexandra Smith, but just call me Alexa. "Nice to meet you." I bowed 90 degrees. "Can I ask why do you want to talk to me?"

"We want to talk to you about an important matter." Mr. Halston said seriously. He is pretty scary, but I'm not scared.

"I do not want to be rude, but can you please tell me now? I still have a part-time job. "

"We want you to marry our daughter and be our daughter-in-law," Mrs. Halston said, and I choked in the air.

"Pardon?"

Are they crazy? They just came here to tell me to marry their daughter.

"My daughter Avery Jane Halston is a cold hearted and spoiled brat. She doesn't care about anyone in this world. She never smiled at anyone, even us. Actually, she was not like that when she was a child. When she was a child, she was a bubbly, cute little girl, but as she grew up, she became cold. I saw her smile yesterday. It was the first time I saw her smiling after a long years have passed. I asked her why, but she said that we couldn't do anything about it. I kept asking, and she finally said, 'I want Alexa.' So marry my daughter." Mrs. Halston said or more like demanded.

Does this family even know the word filter?

I really know where Avery got her attitude.

Avery asked me to become hers, and her parents now asked me to marry her.

Such a crazy family.

"Mrs. Halston, I'm sorry but I can't. I'm still young and I have dreams."

"Alexa, please. I want to see my daughter smile again. It is hard for a father to see his child unhappy. That's why I keep trying to give her everything she wants." Mr. Halston pleaded. "Please Alexa"

"Like what I said, Mr. Halston, I am still young and also do have enough money to buy your daughter what she wants and needs. I had 3 part-time jobs and my salary was exactly what I needed. I'm only 19 and I want to explore more since I'm still young. I even have dreams to pursue."

"Alexa, you don't have to worry about the money. We can provide that. You only have an 5-year age gap, but age doesn't matter. If you marry her, you can still achieve your dreams and she can even be with you while exploring new things. " Mrs. Halston said softly.

"I feel bad about what you said, Mrs. Halston. I can't just depend on your money. Actually, I didn't even like her or even get attracted to her."

"Why? Are you straight?" Mr. Halston asked.

"No, Sir, but I wasn't particularly attracted to anyone."

"Maybe it's just because you have too much focus in your life. You didn't try to look at everyone. That's why you didn't get attracted. You know, my daughter had a beautiful appearance. Try to look at her you might get attracted. "

"Please Alexa marry my daughter." Mrs. Halston pleaded, "If I have to kneel, I'll do it." They were about to kneel, but I stopped them.

"You don't have to do that, Mr. and Mrs. Halston. Don't lower yourself just because you want to get something or someone. You're not going to stop asking me, are you?" I sighed.

"Yes, absolutely," They both said.

"If I accept your offer, does that mean I will be with your daughter forever?"

"Yes, until death," Mrs. Halston stated solemnly.

"We are not going to let you leave her."

"But what if I fall for someone that is not her?"

"We don't know," Mrs. Halston said, and they both looked down.

They really want their daughter to be happy. They think their daughter will be happy.

Such nice a parents.

"Lets make a deal! Since I know you guys are persistent, " They looked at me anticipatingly. "I'm going to try to look at your daughter since you, Mr. Halston, told me to try. Maybe I'll get attracted to her. Since you want me to be with her till death, I'm going to marry her if I already graduated college and I have a stable job already. While we are not married, your daughter should try to make me fall for her, and I'm going to try to fall for her. It means we will both give it a try. So what do you think?"

"We accept your deal." Mr. Halston said, and he stood up and hugged me. "Thank you, Alexa, for helping us. We owe you. "

"No, you do not need to thank me, and you owe me nothing. I also want to experience falling for someone, because I have been only focusing on myself. " I hugged him back and we pulled away when Mrs. Halston talked.

"Alexa, we really owe you. If you need something, you can ask us anything and we're going to give it to you. Just tell us. You don't have to be shy. I really now know why my daughter likes you. You are kind and polite. I'm sorry you have to do this," She teared up, and I hugged her immediately because I hate seeing a parent crying.

"Mrs. Halston, I also want to give it a try, so you do not have to apologize. You didn't force me to do this since I want to do this by myself, not because someone forced me to. Stop crying now, Mrs. Halston. It's hard to see a mom crying. " She wipes her tears.

"Thank you really, Alexa," Mr. Kim said.

"No worries, but can I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead, dear," Mrs. Halston said.

She even called me. Dear, it makes me happy.

"What should I call the both of you because it's pretty awkward to call you in a formal way when we will be a family soon?" They smile.

"You can call us Auntie and Uncle or just Eliz and Oliver."

"Nah, I much prefer calling you Dad and Mom since I have no experience calling someone mom and dad. So, can I call you that?" They hugged me

"Of course, we love you to call us that," Mrs. Halston said.

"Yeah, so sweetie, from now on you are also our daughter. Let's go to the mansion and have a dinner." Mr. Halston said, or Dad

"But I have a part time job"

"Can you ask for leave first?"

"Yeah, one leave can really hurt me. Right?"

"Of course, sweetie, so let's go! "

We rode in their car. Before I rode in their car, some students saw me with Mom and Dad and were confused, wondering why on earth I was with the owner of the school. I just shrugged it off. We arrive at the mansion and it is so big. The butler and maid bowed at us in sync and I bowed at them as well. We went to the dining hall, where I saw a lot of food.

"Mom, why are there a lot of different dishes here? Is there a celebration?"

"No sweetie, we just cook a lot since you are here and we don't know your favorites."

"Ahh, next time you don't have to cook a lot for me, you just have to cook a lot for me. You can just ask me about my favorites. Actually, my favorite dish is Kimchi Fried Rice, and I love choco milk."

"We will keep that in mind, sweetie. Take a seat here and let's wait for my daughter or for your future wife. " I smiled at them and they smiled back. We were still waiting for Avery to come when I heard her shouting while walking towards us.

"MOM! LIKE I TOLD YOU, I'M GOING TO STAY AT MY PENTHOUSE". She is mad right now and she hasn't noticed me yrt.

"Sweetie, we will just tell you something and we want to have dinner with you." Mr. Halston said

"But I don't want to eat dinner because I have already eaten!" She argues, "I'm going now. If you want to tell me something, just text me or my secretary. Bye" She was about to walk away, but I spoke.

"Bye, Avery" She came to a halt and looked at me.Her jaw dropped and she was shocked. "Be careful on your way"

"A-Alexa?" She said she looked confused.

"Yes, the one and only." I smiled at her.

She pinched her arm and composed herself when she felt the pain. "Why are you here?" She gained herself.

"To eat dinner with your parents and also you, but since you will now go"

"Let's eat!!" She said this and smiled at me.

"I thought you wanted to go home and you had already eaten," I asked her.

"Nope I am still hungry and you were supposed to have dinner with me, so here I am now. Let's eat now."

"Okay" She sat beside me and kept looking at me.

"Let's eat now and Avery stop staring at her." Mom said I looked at Avery and she kept looking at me.

"Avery, you should eat or you are really not hungry." I smiled at her and she blushed.

"I just can't believe you are here and I'm still hungry. You should eat a lot since they cook a lot. " I nodded and she smiled.

"Mom and Dad, you two should also eat now. You keep putting food in my plate."

"Don't worry about us, sweetie, we just want you to get full." Dad said

"What did she call you two?" Avery asked her parents.

"Mom and Dad, since she said that she prefers calling us that instead of auntie and uncle or our names," Mom said while smiling at me sweetly.

"She is really sweet, sweetie," Dad said.

"How did you know them, Alexa?" Jenny asked me

"Actually, that's why your parents asked for your presence here because they were going to tell you something important, but since you didn't let them speak first, you will wait for them to tell you later." I explained to her "But don't command them to tell you now. We will tell you later after dinner, so you should eat first."

"Okay." She smiled at me sweetly.

We ate quietly. I saw in my peripheral vision that she was looking at me. It looks like she is eager to know why I am here. We went to the living room and sat on the couch. Avery sat beside me, and Mom and Dad sat beside each other in front of us.

"Sweetie, we will tell you something important and I am sure you will be happy." Dad said.

"Just make sure it makes me happy or else." She scowled at her father.

"Or else what?" When I asked her, she smiled and shook her head.

"We went to Alexa's school earlier. We talked to her about you. We asked her to marry you, but she refused because she is still young and has no feelings for you. We begged her, even tried to kneel in front of her, but she stopped us, saying that we didn't need to kneel at her and that she knew we were persistent, so she made a deal." Dad explained.

"What deal?" Avery asked and looked at me

"I told them I was going to try to fall for you and you were going to try to make me fall for you. In short, we were both going to try. Actually, I havent gotten attracted to anyone yet, but my dad said I havent gotten attracted to someone because I keep focusing on myself. That's why he told me to try to look at you. I might get attracted to you. We will both try while we haven't gotten married yet. We will get married if I have already graduated and have a stable job. "

"What if you didn't fall for me?" She asked me sadly.

"Your Dad said, "I might fall for you." This means that your dad knows that you are an attractive woman and he knows that I am going to fall for you. Be positive Avery, "I cheered her up and she smiled.

"Okay, prepare yourself. You are going to fall for me harder. I will Make YOU love ME" She said proudly, and she smiled. I patted her head.

"That's the spirit!" I said, and she smiled at me happily,

"Are you going to tell your parents something?" She looked at me confused.

"Am I supposed to tell them something?" She asked, and I nodded, "What?"

"A thank you? Isn't that what you are supposed to tell them because they tried their best to convince me? They even lower their pride. "

"Alexa she di-" Mom cut her off.

"Dad and Mom, thank you for this," She pointed at me, "I appreciate it."

"Aren't you going to hug them?" I whispered to her and she walked towards her parents, she hugged them and pulled away immediately.

"It looks like you can make her follow you," Dad said while laughing.

"Sweetie, she really fell for you hard," Mom said.

"I guess." I looked at her and she was also looking at me. "I will try my best to fall for her," I said, directly looking into her eyes. She blushed. Suddenly, I heard my phone ring.

Mom signed me up to answer the phone. I excuse myself and I look at the screen to see who is calling, and it's Sam.

It looks like I have an explanation to give since they caught me with the owner of the school.

School might stress me out...
