Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter ten: Use your feminine wiles
Monday morning shined bright and beautiful through Adriana's window waking her up. Her eyes tightened as they were disturbed by the morning rays. Rays! Sunlight! Fuck, I overslept, her eyes snapped open and she took a look at her alarm clock. Seven am. What the hell happened. Her head was a little foxy, and she couldn't remember last night. Her head was throbbing mildly, and her mouth felt like something died inside. Bits by bits her memories began to return. Last night she and her friends had gone to a party hosted by one of Reilly's co-workers. Reilly hadn't wanted to go alone because she has the hots for the guy and didn't want to embarrass herself. She needed them as a safe blanket. What a safe blanket she must have been if she got skunk ass drunk. Luckily she has two of their other friends to serve as a buffer. The party had been rave and wild, and Adriana had been determined to beat her record of ten bottles of beer in one night.And if the riot going on in her head is any
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter eleven: what are you doing here?
By Monday morning Skyler was still undecided what he was going to do about the contract marriage his parents are forcing him into. Despite his talk with Serena, he was still skeptical about taking such a huge leap. Marriage is a lifetime commitment and to Skyler, he wanted someone who will love him for who he is and not just because of how deep his pocket is. And with the secret, he is hiding he doubts he will ever find such a person. As usual, he was the first to arrive at the office with no soul in sight. He looked down at his watch it was seven-thirty. A little late for him but thirty minutes earlier for the rest of his employees. He had gotten in late because last night his sleep had been plagued by nightmares of him being lynched by rope to the altar by his father only for him to open the veil of his bride to see the ugliest female on earth smiling back at him with the vilest and crooked teeth. A shudder ran through his frame causing his hair to stand on end as he recalled his
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter twelve: Are you really that sore you lost?
Adriana's eyes nearly exploded out of her head when she read what was written under Skyler's name. The guy was a bag of achievements that makes Bill Gates look like an underachiever. The revelation that the Skyler from the club was the same as Skyler Rivers her betrothed spun a fire inside her to track him down if for any other thing to satisfy her curiosity that it was really the same guy. Bursting into his ultra-modern office to see his familiar face sitting executively behind his huge desk like a king on his throne looking right at home and intimidating she had been thrown for the loop. When she made up her mind to track him down she partly still doubted in her mind that it was this same guy. But it was him alright. Looking more handsome than anyone has the right to look. Asking him to lunch was an impulsive thought, not something she had planned prior. She hadn't planned what to say when she decided on this strip and is just swinging as she goes. She couldn't stop staring at th
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter thirteen: Scared you will lose?
As they drew closer to the glassy doors, Skyler lengthened his stride and held the door open for the blonde to precede him. " Who said chivalry is dead, " Adriana mumbled with a smile as she passed through the door. " Not me, " Skyler muttered following through.There were a lot of cars parked in the garage and Adriana's Lexus was lost in the midst of them. She pressed her key button trying to locate where she parked. A look of frustration appeared on her face when she couldn't pinpoint the sound of her car. " You don't know where you parked? " There was a note of disbelief on Skyler's face when he noticed the blonde pressing on her car key in frustration. Great. He just agreed to waste his time. Adriana ignored him and continued to trace the sound as she pressed on the keypad in her hand. " Found it! " she exclaimed excitedly. Skyler grudgingly made his way to her wondering what possessed him to agree to this lunch. " Now what? " he asked in a sore tone when he saw that the bl
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter fourteen: Is there no bounds to your arrogance?
" Excuse me! " Skyler breathed and stared up at the blonde with a look of surprise. He waited for the blonde to laugh and tell him she was joking but all he got was a serious look on her face. Did he hear her correctly? Why would the blonde assume he didn't want to marry her, they have only just met.Adriana tried to maintain a stoic expression but she couldn't hold back her laughter anymore and lost it. The look on Skyler's face when he heard the word married was so funny that it took all her restraint not to burst into laughter. Skyler glared when he heard the blonde snickering at his expense. She was obviously pulling his legs. " Very funny, " he growled as he resumed his meal wondering what is with everybody and wanting him to get married. First his parents and now the blonde. " I wasn't joking, " Adriana told him seriously losing her humor. " And why is that? We just met and haven't even gone on a date so why would there be an issue of marriage between us? "" Why don't we rec
Seventeen dates to convince him Chapter fifteen: Are you planning on not speaking to me ever
The journey home was in silence, though Adriana wouldn't call it an uncomfortable one. Anyway, that is for her. She wouldn't say if it is the same for Skyler. He has been sporting this swollen look ever since they left the restaurant like a kid whose toy was snatched from him. Yeah, adorable when he loses. Adriana smirked inside turning to shoot him another look. He looked so handsome with the sun reflecting the side of his face, and his midnight-colored hair swaying under the force of the breeze. He was doing his best pretending that Adriana wasn't in the car and that amused her a lot. " Are you planning on not speaking to me again or what? " she teased giving him another look. " No, I am not, " Skyler replied in a curt tone, his voice cold and annoyed. He was still seething from the fact that the woman beside him just played him like some musical instrument. Adriana laughed like he just said the funniest thing. " There is something you should get used to if you are going to be wi
