2024-01-10 19:32:06The days pass by in an uneventful blur and it's Monday. Roman and I successfully completed and presented our essays like everyone else in class and shockingly, we passed. A distinction too. I'm thankful and this shows in the smile I give to Roman as we walk by each other to leave after the class ends. I'm walking hand in hand with Cassie who drags me along to catch up with Case before his next class so I can't pause and talk to Roman, I could only wave and give him a smile.
He walks with Collins and a few other jocks which is one of the reason why I don't attempt to go to him, I'm still avoiding Collins due to the date I asked him out on. Yep, that still hasn't happened. When he tries to walk up time to talk I instantly appear to be in a hurry for one thing or the other. I'm starting to think he must know what I'm doing but he's too nice to call me out on it and I'm grateful for that. When he texts me, I tell him I've been busy with school but I wonder how long the excuse wi

Romanโs POV Our coach is a bastard. Really, I'm not even trying to be insulting but he is. Our coach, Coach Mikel is a six feet three giant oaf, scary as hell to everyone but his nine year old daughter, Hailey. He has been working us so hard for hours, because we lost our last game, which we played against Everton High Wolves, one of our rivals. The punishment is making me reconsider joining the team in the first place. I love the sport and have over seven jerseys signed by the crรจme de la crรจme of the sport from legends like Michael Jordan to Lebron James. But most importantly, I love playing the sport as a way to exercise and pass off time, I rarely enjoy competitive basketball playing. You might then be wondering why I joined Rixon High Basketball team right? Well, I did it to piss off my dad. He considers playing sports a waste of time and never wanted any of us to even glance in that direction. He initially forbade Damon, Robyn and I from participating in school activiti

Itโs Wednesday and Cassie and I are maneuvering our way around the basketball court to find empty seats. Although weโre early because Cassie didnโt want to miss a single minute of the match- I really donโt know when she became a basketball fanatic- However, thereโs barely any unoccupied spot left to sit on. We approach a row where we find two empty chairs, sadly there is a seat in the middle that has been occupied by a man. I turn to look around for other options but Cassie speaks. โHey handsome do you mind moving over so I can sit with my friend?โ She smiles The guy turns to look at us and I'm shocked to see it's Damon "Cookie?" He calls out to me with his eyebrows raised. Cassie looks between the two of us, surprised to see he knows me. I don't think she remembers him from the night we went to the party and he dared me to kiss him, Roman or Elijah because there's no sign of recognition in her expression. I roll my eyes at Damon before giving him a glare, "You are not allowed t

"She's not even going to deny it?" Cassie asks, this time her question is directed at Damon although she is still referring to me. Damon laughs in response with an โI told youโ look on his face. I roll my eyes at the both of them, before bringing out my phone to busy myself. As I unlock the device, I hear Cassie whisper to herself, "Billionaire babies" with an annoying giggle. Oh geez. The game finishes and Rixon High basketball team wins with a landslide. The roar that followed from both girls and guys shocks me. The game was a bit interesting but I still can't relate to this joy they have. But then again, I did spend most of the time watching Roman and not the match itself. Cassie and I stand up to leave the bleachers when Damon halts us by speaking, "You can't leave. Your boy asked me to tell you to wait for him" "He did?" I ask, confused. "Yep," Damon replies, then proceeds to show me his phone screen which has on it a text message from Roman. It reads, Roman: Tell my Cooki

We order our food and we're eating when Whitney comes along. Oh man.. "Roman..." She calls out in her whiny annoying voice. The conversations going around on the table quiets down, and Roman well he basically ignores her. She comes to were we're sat and places her hand on his chest, "It's been so long since we talked, I've missed you" she says, or whines. I raise an eyebrow at the hand she has placed on Roman's chest although it doesn't stay there for long as Roman removes it from his person and drops it like a hot disgusting item. "Don't touch me" He queries her, not even bothering to look in her direction. Not easily deterred, likely thanks to her lack of self respect, she continues on, "You played so good today... It's was so hot" She grins and I can't help the disgusted snort that comes out of my mouth. She turns to look at me as if noticing my presence for the first time. She glares at me like an unwanted insect before ask

By the time Case and Cassie drops me off at my house, I'm exhausted. I go inside, there's loud music coming out of Leo's room which likely means thereโs a girl inside. Mom's bedroom is silent but that's no surprise because I know she's working a night shift today. I decide to shower and sleep but after showering I'm unable to fall asleep. I'm tired from the depletion of adrenaline rush from my fight with Whitney but I'm more mentally tired and Roman consumes my thought. For some reason I want to talk to him. I wonder if he's still at the restaurant, if he's having fun. Or maybe he's even with a girl... Maybe it's Whitney. Ugh, why am I thinking these stupid thoughts? I'm suddenly tempted to text him. I can't explain the urge or where it's coming from. After the events of today, the way he calmly talked to me, the way his hands felt as he held my face, his lips on my temple as he kissed my forehead, the memories go on and on in my head. What is

Roman's POV It is Friday. It is also known as the day I finally make my move. I'm taking Lindsay Jordan on a date tonight and I intend to make it the most exhilarating experience she's had yet. This morning, when I told Damon of my plan to wow Lindsey he attempted to remind me how little experience I had on the subject and tried to convince me to enlist his help. But I dont need to be a casanova to know how to please a girl. I'm Roman Masters, I have my ways. I smile to myself and see my driver staring at me like I'm insane from the rearview mirror. My Porsche has been taken for maintenance which is more than good because I won't be needing it tonight for our date. My driver Parker is driving me to school today with my Range Rover, one of my many cars. I asked him to drive me today although I hate being driven but because I'm bustling with too much excited energy from my incoming date to trust myself to drive today.&

It's Friday evening, five oโclock pm to be precise and I have just finished showering. Iโm about to start dressing up for my date with Roman. Iโm so nervous I dropped my hairbrush three times while detangling my hair a few minutes ago. Iโm going on a date with Roman Masters. I have no actual idea of where this date will take place. Although Iโm already expecting a nice scenery and good food from our conversation the other day when I told him about my ideal date experience, but I still donโt know exactly what to expect. I sit on my chair in front of my mirror and shelf which holds my skincare and make up products. I apply a light makeup consisting of blush for my cheeks, golden glittery eyeshadow, faint eyeliner and mascara. I finish off my makeup with a shimmery pink long lasting lip gloss. I admire myself in the mirror for about a minute and I give myself an actual thumbs up for the turnout, I look damn good. Maybe I should try my hand at being a make up artist, I would for sure m

I turn to glance at Roman, โPlease tell me you didnโt hire a limousine to drive us to our date?โ My voice is pleading, this is a bit much. The nicest car Iโve been in is his Porsche but now a limo? He is introducing me to a whole different lifestyle from what Iโm used to. My familyโs cars consists of a ten year old sedan and a bust up Camry for petes sake. โHire? No. I bought itโ He replies simply, while placing his hand on the small of my back to guide me forward to where the limo is parked. Iโm still stunned so I say nothing. Iโm further amazed when a man steps out of the driver seat of the limo to open our door. โYou hired a chauffer too?โ I practically yell this time. He snorts at my dramatics, nudging me forward and inside the expensive vehicle. โHeโs my driver, Cookie. He has driven me for yearsโ He answers. Iโm a bit relieved to hear he didnโt hire a chauffeur but I never knew he had a personal driver of his own. He usually alwa

Romanโs POVI have decided to have the talk with my father today. No more postponing, no more hesitating. Iโm damn tired of not being able to bring my girl over to my house because she is afraid of my father.I walk over to my fatherโs office and knock once, then twice. Iโll knock a million times until he lets me in, I know he is inside.โCome in, sonโ I hear him call out.I chuckle as I twist the handle and step in. He knows it was me just because no one else would ever interrupt him in his office. No one but me.My father sits behind his expensive mahogany desk in his huge as hell office. I hardly come here unless when absolutely necessary, like today. It reminds me of my future, that one day I will likely become a workaholic like him, spending nearly every hour, alone and working.โFatherโ I say in greeting. I always call him father, never dad for many years and weโre both used to it now.He points at the chair in front of his desk for me to take a seat and I do.I donโt waste a mom

CHAPTERRomanโs POVIโm on my way to the cafeteria after class to meet up with Lindsey when one of the janitors walks up to me and tells me that my girlfriend instructed him to find me and tell me to come help her out in the library because she is not feeling well.I give him a look of suspicion but consider his words, although I texted Lindsey to meet me at the cafeteria after her test she never responded. While I had concluded it was because she was in class it could be something else.Maybe something went wrong and she went to the library instead.Iโm filled with worry that I donโt interrogate the janitor further but instead take a different turn to lead me to the library.When I get to the library, I realize I donโt even know exactly where Lindsey is at because the library is so huge. I consider calling her to ask but decide to check the literature section first, she is likely to be there because it is her favorite section in the library.I get there and in fact there is a girl th

Lindseyโs POVI am walking to the cafeteria alone after writing one of the most difficult tests Iโve ever written when Collins approaches me.โHey prettyโ He greets with his signature boyish smile.I smile back but my smile is a bit restrained. I know how Roman feels about Collins and I together, even though I donโt know why as I consider Collins a good friend, but I donโt want to do anything thatโll annoy Roman so I keep my distance.โHey Collinsโ I respond and he comes and stands in front of me.โI need your help with somethingโ He tells me.Iโm confused as I donโt know what I could possibly help him with but I nod, urging him to go ahead and ask.He does, โIโve been searching for an important textbook in the library for a while now and Iโve not been able to find it, can you come and help me check?โWhat? I give him a look of confusion. Is he joking? He must be. I laugh a bit just in case then reply, โThere are librarians in the library, Collinsโ I mention the obvious.He grins but

On Monday after Christmas break, I drive my new new car to school. For the first time in months, Iโm alone in a car. Iโm driving myself rather than getting driven around like an invalid and itโs all thanks to Roman.Just like he had told me, he spoke to my mom and yesterday she even took me to shop for car accessories for my new car. Since I no longer have to worry about her feeling some type of way about Roman buying me a car, I enjoy the feeling of driving the sleekest car I have ever been in, except for Romanโs cars.When I get to school, I park my car and from the tinted glass of the windshield and windows, I can already see the students of Rixon High surrounding me, wondering who is in the car. Nearly everyone knows what everyone drives and so, a brand new expensive car such as this is bound to draw some attention.I shouldโve made Roman come with me for the first day but Iโm a big girl and I thought I could handle all the looks and whispers on my own.When I open my door and exi

My hand holding my phone shakes as I find Romanโs contact to call him. As my finger rests about an inch away from dialing Roman, I hesitate.I donโt know how to do it, not call him but tell him Iโm refusing his gift. Even though I told mom that Iโm not rejecting the gift because of her, I think I was lying. A brand new Mercedes Benz car that looks like that must cost a lot, too much. But, the thought of finally owning my own car after always having to beg Leo and ask Cassie for rides all the time feels so good. Sadly I canโt keep it. I harden my mind and call Roman. He answers on the first ring as if he has been waiting for me to call. โDo you like your car?โ Is the first thing he says to me. He sounds so anxious like he canโt wait for my answer and hopes I say yes. โIโฆ I doโ I answer after a moment of hesitation. I hear Roman breath out with relief. โThank God. I was getting worried that you didnโt like it, babeโ My throat hurts as I force out the words I know he wouldnโt li

Lindseyโs POVOn the morning of my birthday, I wake up feeling all sorts of special. The night before, I had gotten both Christmas and birthday gifts from my mom, Leo and my friends. Leo had gotten his as well but Iโm already used to sharing my birthdays with him. I gave him his gift as well. Last night, after I had unwrapped all my gifts, Roman had taken me out to dinner and while he didnโt say specifically that he was taking me out because of my birthday, I assume it was my birthday present. I loved it because the food was awesome and the company, his presence, was even better. I rise from my bed and do a little twirling on the floor, Iโm just so happy. My mom yells my name from downstairs and when I quickly rush down, I see mine and Leoโs birthday cake ready with candles on the dinning table.I smile at the sight. It has always been a tradition for as long as I can remember. Mom always bakes a blue and a pink cake for Leo and I for our birthdays, the pink one for me and the blu

I turn to my cousin with a frustrated and doubt filled look. Damon raises an eyebrow at my facial expression. โDo you want my help or not?โ I grunt, โYeah I do. What type of car do you think I should get for her?โ I ask him hopelessly. Damon shrugs, โA lambo or somethingโ He replies. My jaw drops in shock, โA Lamborghini? Are you insane!?โ My cousin snorts, โDonโt tell me you think itโs too expensive, she is your girlfriend whom I know you love so donโt tell me youโre deciding to be stingy with her giftโ I ignore him saying Iโm in love with Lindsey, I am but Iโve never told him or anyone, I havenโt even said the word to Lindsey and I should, I plan to tell her on her birthday, but that is not the point of my conversation with Damon right now. A lambo? Iโm groan out, โPlease where is Cassie and Robyn? I need them back.โ I shake my head in exhaustion.

Romanโs POVIt is a few days to Christmas and even fewer to Lindseyโs eighteenth birthday. I have been in a bind all week contemplating a birthday gift for her. I have even brought in Damon, Robyn and Cassie to help me out with ideas and while they have tried by presenting me with numerous options, Iโm not satisfied. Iโm not very good at gift giving. Having so much money usually means I buy the most expensive things for my friends and family as gifts, but with Lindsey I can not exercise the same level of indifference or carefree attitude. I want to get her a birthday gift thatโฆ has meaning. Being with Lindsey Jordan has changed me. She has shown me that money isnโt everything, I mean I always knew that but now I have lived it. The picnic date she had organized for me the night before my birthday as my birthday gift sure didnโt cost anything close to a thousand dollars if I were to wager a guess, but I wasnโt lying when I told her it was the best birthday gift Iโve ever gotten.
