THE STOLEN BILLIONAIRE'S DAUGHTER

CHAPTER FOUR

Leon Langley

To say I dreaded the afternoons after school would be putting it mildly. I didn’t like the tutoring lessons with Dulce. She was hot, I’d say that, but she was also very intense. It was like she was the younger version of my dad. She had a way of doing things and she expected everyone around her to follow suit. It got annoying to deal with her sometimes, but I didn't have much of a choice.

“Dude, Catalina is throwing a party this afternoon. I got a pass from the coach and I thought we should go.” Lucas said when he stopped by my locker.

I sighed, “I can’t. I’m grounded, remember?” I stated, “besides, I have to meet this girl that tutors me. It was part of the punishment for the ticket I almost got.”

Lucas smirked, " It must be cool that you only got grounded after skipping school, getting drunk and almost getting the cops called on you. Anyway, is she hot? Because if she is, you should bring her along.”

I chuckled, “she’s too intense. I don’t think she has even been to a party before.” I joked.

Lucas grabbed my shoulders, “even more reason to bring her to the party. Make her loosen up, maybe you can seal the deal if you know what I mean.” He wiggled his eyebrows and winked at me.

I chuckled, “I’ll see what I can do.”

“Or you’re just afraid that you can’t do it. Is that the case bro?” He asked as he folded his arms across his chest.

“You think that will work?” I asked as I closed my locker. “You think you can manipulate me into bringing her and later claiming it was your idea in the first place?” I asked.

“I thought the mighty Leon Langley could make any girl do anything he wants?” He asked with a smirk, just as two girls passed by giggling as they looked at me.

I walked up to him, putting an arm over his shoulder, “I don’t have to do anything, they want to do things to please me.” We laughed as we walked to our next class.

I had racked up a reputation of being the bad boy who gets any girl that he wanted. I needed to keep the ruse up and so I had to find a way to make sure to bring Dulce to this party.

I texted her, how about we ditch the tutoring lesson today and just go to this party a friend of mine is throwing?

She read, then she started typing. I smirked.

But then she stopped.

I waited for a minute, then another, but nothing.

I couldn’t believe that basic little tight up girl left me on read. I was the one who did that to girls, and not the other way round.

I sighed, I was trying not to think of it, so I put my phone in my backpack.

I tried to concentrate but every now and then I would peak on my phone, but nothing. I contemplated texting her again but I thought it wasn’t a good idea.

The bell rang and school was out.

Catalina approached me, batting her eyelashes in her short skirt and knee-high boots. “So, Leon, who is the girl I hear you’re bringing to the party?” She asked with a smirk.

“No one you know.” I replied as I took my phone out of my pocket and still no reply from Dulce.

I put it back into my pocket and Catalina just pulled me and planted a kiss on me, catching me off guard. I wasn’t about to turn down a make-out session with her. She was the hottest and sluttiest girl in school and we were in a very weird and complicated relationship.

“Well, you know where to find me,” She said as she walked away.

I went to my car and drove straight to Dulce's apartment. I was knocking on the door when her mother opened the door. I had come to like Mrs. Madden. Her relationship with my father seemed to make him loosen up a bit and also made him really happy.

“Leon, you’re early but Dulce isn’t here yet.” She said as she invited me inside.

“I thought you two drove together?” I asked. I picked up on a few things here and there. I’m not that stupid.

She chuckled, “she stayed behind to volunteer for a few things so she would be coming with the bus.” She replied just as Dulce walked into the room. “Leon is already here sweetie.”

“Why?” She asked.

Her mother chuckled, “what do you mean why?”

“He said he had a party to go to. I didn’t think he would be coming anyway.” Dulce replied.

Arabella looked at me, she smiled, “take her with you.” She said, just when I thought she couldn’t get any cooler. She turned to Dulce, “you rarely go to parties, this is your chance to actually go to one.”

“I think that’s a great idea, Bella,” I said, with a huge smile on my face.

Arabella chuckled, “you are sweet as your father, Leon.”

“No, he’s not!” Dulce blurted out, “don’t call my mother that, you pervert.”

Her mother patted her on the shoulder, “ That is why you should go to the party sweetie. Besides, these days’ universities want a student who is well rounded, not just someone who is academically smart.”

Dulce sighed, “I’ll go just so you can stop talking.” She said as she walked up to me, “what kind of party is it?”

I smiled, “it’s LA, so a beach party.” I replied.

“Of course it is.” She rolled her eyes. “Give me a minute.” She walked to her room.

While she was there, her mother approached me, “I know she can be kind of intense sometimes, but please just bear with her and show her a good time.” She pleaded.

“Don’t worry Mrs. M, I’ve got this.” I said.

“What are you two whispering about?” She asked as she stepped out of her room.

“I was making sure Leon know that he should take care of you and have you home by ten pm.” Mrs. M said.

“I’ll be home by seven, mom.” Dulce said, she pointed to me, “let’s get this over and done with.”

We drove quietly in the car. I was trying to stay quiet but she was dressed like some random painter dude in a tank top and some overalls.

“You know we are going to the beach, right?” I asked, deciding to break the silence.

She rolled her eyes, “I heard you for the first time,” She replied.

“What are you wearing then?” I asked.

“Comfort over style,” she replied.

“That’s not true. You could be comfortable in style.” I stated.

“Well, this is my style and I’m comfortable. I didn’t want to come to this stupid party anyway.” She said grumpily.

“I’m regretting inviting you anyway.” I muttered under my breath.

We got to this private area where Catalina held most of her parties, there were a lot of people there and I took of my shirt throwing it in my car.

“Great,” Dulce muttered.

Lucas came up to us, “I see you managed to bring her.” He turned to Dulce, “you must be the tutor girl.” He said with a smile.

“More like babysitter,” Dulce said with a smile, “but everyone else calls me Dulce.”

Lucas chuckled, “I like her already. Would you like a drink?”

“Sure,” Dulce replied.

“I’ll get you one.” I said as I walked away with Lucas.

“She doesn’t look intense to me but we need to get her to take off those overalls. She looks like she works for Catalina and not here for her party.” Lucas said, making me chuckle, it was like we had the same mind.

“How do you suggest we do that?” I asked.

He showed me a pill, “we could spike her drink?” he suggested shrugging it off like it was nothing.

I might be an asshole but I’m not that much of an asshole. He laughed as he dropped it in her drink, we were walking back and when we got close to Dulce, I tripped Lucas and the drink went spilling on Dulce.

“Whoa man, how much have you had to drink?” I asked as I laughed it off.

Dulce didn’t seem amused. She was mad.

“Why would you spill freaking beer on me?” She asked as she wiped herself off.

A girl came to us, “because he is just a douche bag.” She said, “follow me. I’ll help you clean up.”

Dulce glared at me as she walked away with the girl.

Lucas turned to me, “I guess that works too.” He burst out laughing. “Come on man, you should see Catalina in her new swim suit, she looks freaking hot.” He dragged me away but I really didn’t want to have to get into it with her. I preferred to wait for Dulce. But he dragged me away and I just went along.

Catalina’s parents were never around, so their way of compensating for that was to just throw money at her. They spoiled her and she now had this God complex where she thought the world revolved around her, I couldn’t blame her because she would catch everyone’s attention whenever she walked into the room.

“Hey guys, now it’s time for the shower down!” Catalina yelled.

That usually meant that people would pour drinks on you, which made you very sticky. I did it once and I didn’t like it. Lucas ran off and when I turned to see if I could spot Dulce, I saw her and I could feel my jaw almost drop.

She looked hot.

She was dressed in this dress that highlighted her awesome figure. I thought she was dressed in overalls because she was self-conscious about her body. She had a perfect figure.

“Don’t judge me, this is all I could find.” She said when she stood beside me.

I couldn’t even formulate words so I just nodded.
