What is your Aim?

"Him?" Alicia wondered,

"why him?"

She could only ask, although she couldn't neglect that bubbling feeling in the pits of her stomach that screamed of excitement. But again, she didn't want to think about him, his presence alone both attract and scare her all at the same time. She could also tell that with the way Samson glared at her, he was upset. Alicia couldn't help but think that he's probably seeing her as a clumsy lunatic. With the way he stares at her, one could tell that he hated her to the core. They both never wanted this, the strange alliance, and the quick marriage.

"Hey Samson! uh..." Diler started, a bit confused on how to phrase his statement in a way it wouldn't sound weird.

"...you probably need to know more about Alicia here. So you both need some privacy..." Facing Alicia this time, he said "...honey take him to your room"

Immediately Samson stood up and darted off like he was the one asked to lead the way as Alicia gaped at him. Seeing how far their distance was growing, she began to move and that was after she had greeted both Matthew and Lizzy. Though it was hasty steps she took, but she remained careful not to fall so that Samson won't see her as a clumsy freak, but in a blink of an eye, he was gone. And she paused wondering where on Earth he might have gone to without at least letting her know.

She immediately saw Rauline with a couple of her friends as they talked about the ball party and how they would have it. She walked to her as her relaxing nerves keyed in to let her ask her questions without falling flat of words,

"have you seen Samson?"

Seems like Rauline was clueless because she actually returned back the question

"who's Samson?"

Alicia smiled warmly at the girl who was staring at her and back at her friends as if portraying the fact that Alicia was going bonkers but Alicia didn't care about that for now. "Don't bother" she said and left quickly.

Alicia burst into the passage leading to her room as a thought struck her,

"Maybe he would come meet me, but he doesn't know my room?"

Alicia exhales as she was getting closer to the room and surprisingly, the door was opened and when she walked in and looked, Samson was already in staring out of the window. Alicia tried controlling all of her emotions but that one thing kept betraying her, it was her heart beat. It kept pounding tremendously in her ribcage.

"How did you know where my room was?"

was the first question that broke out of her lips, but the man remained unmoving but a sudden outburst of chuckle barred out his lips followed by a shocking question.

"What have you and your weird family done to my dad?"

Alicia laughed as if not understanding what he just said and she asked

"excuse me?"

That instance Samson turned, his face displaying nothing but anger.

"Answer me!" he hissed and Alicia cocked her head to the right, her face becoming serious "I did nothing to your dad, and so did my family... come to think of it, I should be asking that question and not you because, your dad seems to come from a higher rank in the business world and my dad just happens to be a rank under him, so what have your dad done to influence my dad?" Alicia asked and Samson walked over to her and grabbed her hands,

"what is your Aim?...what will you gain from all this? I don't want to get married, especially not to you, but my dad had to pressure me" Samson said and Alicia rolled her eyes.

"Listen Samson, I don't dream of getting married to you either, just play your role in stopping your dad, then we both would be free, you can't just put it all on me because am a woman" Alicia said and Samson turned.

"What else do you want to know about me? ... am Samson Bill you know already" he said arrogantly about to leave but Alicia stood in his way,

"whoa, whoa, whoa... What is that supposed to mean? an insult?" she asked, glint of anger showing off in her forest green eyes. Samson glared at her for long and he pulled her out of the way and Alicia's mouth fell open at his brisk harshness. "See you at the wedding tomorrow" he said and left the room giving Alicia time to ponder on something, but that something seemed to waver from her memory so she sat calmly on her bed.

***

After some hours flew by, she saw something blink by the window pane of one of her extremely large window, she walked to it, and it was a phone ...."his phone?" She quickly grabbed it off the position it was in and opened it, there was a weird picture of Samson that showed, seems like it was his wallpaper and he wasn't even smiling "oh what a man!"

In a rush she got downstairs hoping that she would see them but they were gone already.

Diler spotted the girl who looked stressed out and he walked to her "dear" he called and Alicia turned towards him and smiled wryly.

"Samson told me that you were having slight headache and could not come down for the occasion, how are you feeling now?" Diler asked and Alicia frowned "uh.. that jerk!" she cursed inwardly,

"oh yeah, dad am fine... Samson left his phone in my room, can you please send it back to him?" Alicia asked and Diler offered a cheap smile.

"Go to him instead, the driver would drive you to his place" Diler said and Alicia felt like air was choked out of her lungs

"wh.... what! dad?" she asked and Diler nodded before he left her.

"What a sick man, now what? Alicia thought. She slowly walked out of the huge mansion as she continued with her internal monologue of whether or not she should go. Suddenly the phone began to ring and it shook her out of the lost island of thoughts.

"I think I should send it to him now" Alicia said as she stared at the phone until the call ended. She lowered her hands, deeply exhales as she decided to take her next move but the phone vibrated again rather harshly, and the way the phone vibrated reminded her of Samson, the phone showed off that vibe that was reeking out of him earlier and Alicia shook her head.

"It's his phone anyways so it is bound to behave like him, cold and aloof, Tch! ironic"

Focussing back on the ringing phone, she picked the call and placed it on her ear, she was about to say the word "hello" but the cold voice Came out harshly making her lips clamp shut.

"Why didn't you answer my first call?"

"Sorry, I thought I shouldn't take your calls" Alicia replied.

"Get the phone now! to my place" Samson ordered and Alicia smiled.

"Sorry! it's either you come, or wait tomorrow. Beside, it's just a matter of one night, and the next I'll be at your place so no need to rush" Alicia said and Samson gritted his teeth.

"That phone is for business, Ah! you know what? just keep it, tomorrow I'll take it" Samson said and the call ended.

Alicia clicked her tongue at the sudden end of the call, "he thinks he can just boss me around! what happened to him coming back to get his phone? Tch, he's lazy" Alicia concluded and she walked back into the house.

When she entered her room, a message beep echoed and Alicia checked it out and it was a message from Samson warning her to stay away from his personal inbox.

"Just, who would want to read that?"
