Love Beyond Riches (The Billionaire Son)

2 .Turning Point

After I had finished telling Juliana about what happened at the art museum, I dropped my phone and slept off. I smiled for a while, and she went to sleep, and I would need strength for the next day.

The next day, it was 7:30am in the morning, I heard a knock on her door, I wasn’t expecting anyone so early, and my friend won’t try knocking at my door so early, she doesn’t use her sleep to play, right from our school together. Me and Juliana graduate from Midwood High School and discover school in Pratt University.

Unbelievable “It is Houston”.

Ella: hey Houston, how are you and what are you doing at my house this morning at

Houston: I came to see you. Won't you let me in

“Ella quickly arranged her house and asked if he needed anything”. "A cup of water is okay, will be okay”. Houston said.

I went to the freezer and took out some water and a glass and gave it to him and a little table. They both sat in the parlor discussing and having fun together. She had felt happier in her life, she smiled at every joke he said. After a while, they both decided to go to an expensive restaurant close by,

I quickly went to my room to prepare for the outing and was ready for what is about to happen: “Yelling and screaming”. I didn’t know what to say or do; I quickly found a nice cloth in my wardrobe and came downstairs in a fancy red gown and red high heels.

Houston was marveled by my dressing, and we headed straight to a restaurant,

The restaurant was amazing. She hadn’t been to a restaurant with a precious outlook, and it was so huge, we were directed to our chair. The inside had a showground, where artists came and entertained every customer.

{Suddenly a waiter walked down to where we were sitting, and asked “What do you want me to get for you guys”}

I was amazed, seeing all the waiters in a reddish monkey jacket and long white sleeves, then black trousers. They looked so unique in their own style of dress code.

Houston immediately ordered his favorite dish, “Bagel and porterhouse”. I wouldn’t have known he had a favorite meal if not because the waiter asked if he could get his favorite as usual. I took “Court Pastry”, which was the normal food I love eating outside, not that it is my favorite. I don’t have a favorite meal.

We both dug into our meal while watching the performance, entertaining us with their song, which was melodious and, according to their slang, “they killed it with their song”.

After they had entertained them through music, we both started talking about ourselves and what we had been up to lately. I was shy at first but took a little courage while narrating my life story to him. The shocking news was he would discuss my school with his father so he would join me and protect me. At first, I was happy but couldn’t tell him, every feeling I was having at that moment was inside of me and I couldn’t express it, but wondering how he would be able to confuse his family about his ideal.

After the wonderful dinner we both had, we both walked down to the restaurant, and he dropped me at my house. I actually forgot that I was meant to see my best friend helping her get her new clothing, and she had been calling, but I didn’t know due to the loud noise and the phone was inside my bag.

When I got home after taking my shower, I reached for my phone and found out that I had 17 missed calls from Juliana. I tried calling back, but it was switched off. As I was about to turn off my room lights, I received a text from Houston saying “hope am not disturbing your night's rest. Can’t wait to be at your school. I wasn’t able to tell my parents that night due to the late hours, but I promise I will tell them tomorrow.”

“What are you planning to tell them?” Ella asked in a scary tone.

Houston: “leave that to me” Houston replied

{as we were taking, I was already tired from the outing, so I left him and sleeping, he was still typing until he didn’t see my reply again and went to sleep.}

**** Houston with his parents ****

The next day, I walked into the kitchen smelling bagels with a lot of hotdogs on the dining table. I ran back upstairs and went to take his bath, then I charged my phone; it was low because I left it on call and went to sleep.

We were eating at the dining table. I was worried about what I had told Ella about, and how I would approach my family about the situation. So I decided to give it a try. “Mom, Dad”, he began, trying to keep his voice steady, “I need to talk to you about something important, I’m thinking of changing schools.”

His parents were shocked at why he would change all of a sudden. His father thought he was joking.

Dad: Son, are you trying to joke with us?

Houston “No Dad I am serious” I have wanted to tell you yesterday, but you and mom were having fun at the parlor, so I decided to tell you this morning.

My dad became tense and couldn’t finish eating his meal.

Dad: {dropping his fork and spoon on his plate and went to the parlor}.

Me: “Dad…” I went straight to where he was and narrated everything to him and the reason for me changing school, but didn’t tell him that it was because of Ella changing school.

{He hugs me and decides to change schools for me.}

I became happy, and hugged him with my mother, then left them and went to my friend's house.
