Deception's Game (The Misses Book 2)

8

By the end of the night, everyone was talking freely and laughing at each other's witty banter, with the exception of her mother. She seemed like the quiet type. He could see why Levi would be physically attracted to her. Grayson deduced that she was at least middle aged because of Reeza’s age but she could easily pass for Reeza’s older sister. Her eyes were hazel but seemed to be closer to green near her retina. They looked like rare gems. Her hair was almost white. He wanted to ask Levi if Marcy was an albino but he wasn’t dumb enough to take that step backwards.

When they parted ways, the Hindricks went out the VIP exit in the back and he was escorted out of the front of the restaurant. Everything about the night was surreal. He looked down at his phone, taking in the weight of the young woman’s phone number in his contacts. He was about to date the only heir to the richest man alive. He took a couple of deep breaths. While that was exciting, that was not why he was dating her. He actually enjoyed her company and talking to her.

Their time together for the next year was already scheduled. He signed a contract saying that he would only spend four hours of Saturday mornings with Reeza. The contract also stated that if their relationship affected Reeza’s ability to complete her study, it would be terminated. As he drove down the avenue of lights his future seemed to brighten. He wasn’t sure if he would find love with her but he would try.

When Grayson woke up on Saturday morning, he spent five minutes massaging his face. He couldn’t believe how excited he was. He felt like he used to feel the day before Christmas as a kid. Reeza’s chauffeur would be picking him up at 10 AM to get their date started. He had no idea where they were going but he was sure he would enjoy it.

He was told to dress casual so he put on a designer camouflage hoodie, some ripped fitted jeans and high top tennis shoes. He made his way to the pick up zone. He was almost embarrassed to be trying to impress a seventeen year old. But she wasn’t normal and he knew that from the very beginning.

The limo driver exited the vehicle and opened his door. The sweet smell of her perfume lightly filled the air of the vehicle. She had a short sundress with a cardigan. Her small breasts were perched at the top of it.

“My eyes are up here, stranger.” Reeza said then giggled.

“You look lovely.”

She rolled her eyes then thanked him. She could fill her face, heating up as she tried to conceal her smile.

“Where are we off to?”

“Just hang in there. My dad says it's a surprise. I don't even know.” She said, still looking towards the window. She could see Grayson’s eyes tracing her thighs. He wasn't going to make things easy. She had thought about being next to him for the past year. She wanted to hug him at least but she knew that would get reported to her father. So she had to work to be a good little girl.

“You know my dad and everyone are going to be watching us. So try not to look at me like I’m desert. Okay?”

“I’m sorry. You’ve grown. Not to sound like a pervert or anything.” He said then looked away. She shifted in her seat towards him the moment he shifted away from her.

“So you have a degree in Physics? What made you go that route?”

“I am pretty good at math and I’ve always wondered how it can be applied to life. So I picked one of many fields that help define our place on this planet. My dad wasn’t happy about it though. He was happy that I was trying to do better for myself by finishing school but he wanted me to be a business major. Which makes sense, right?” He turned and looked at her for confirmation.

“Yes it does make sense. I mean he does own a chain of hotels. But it also makes sense for you to do what makes you happy. You are lucky. I’ve been chasing Levi’s dreams since I could walk. I have thought about what I want. In fact, I wouldn’t know where to start. All I know is, if he needs me to be his heir, I will do everything in my power to make that happen.”

“Wow. You said a lot for a seventeen year old. I was trying to burn it all down when I was your age.”

“Don’t pull that ‘old man’ card on me!” Reeza started to laugh. “Next thing I know, you will be telling me how when you were my age you only had one butler and times were hard.” She said then continued to laugh.

He looked at her with a raised brow and started to chuckle. “You’re funny, uh?”

“Funny, smart, beau…ti..ful, the whole package.” She had such a naughty smile on her face. He wanted to touch her cheek.

They continued to chat about their life’s ambitions. She was mature for her age. He wasn’t sure if it was normal because he had never actually been on a real date. Most of the women he dealt with were older and liked to party. Their relationships were built on s*x, partying and alcohol. She was refreshing. It felt easy.

When they finally arrived at their destination. He stared up at the large castle walls and sighed. He looked back to make a snide remark and she had her hands over her mouth. Any other person would have thought it was her castle. He kept his comments to himself, until he heard her full reaction. The driver opened their doors and she got out and screamed, “I’ve always wanted to come here!” She was so excited he thought she would pass out.

“Calm down, princess.” The look she gave him was priceless. “I’m a princess.” She whispered back to him. He started to chuckle. The parking lot was almost empty. A red carpet had been rolled out for them. She looked around in awe. He asked boldly,“Can I hold your hand?”. He could feel her excitement boiling to the top when the workers greeted them at the entrance.

Her dad had rented out the whole park. All of the food stands were still open. Every ride had workers waiting for them. Not only were the workers asked to wear their street clothes,they were also asked to ride with the couple so they could still get the full experience within their four hour window. Reeza bounced from ride to ride, almost skipping while swinging his arms.

Grayson had never had such innocent fun. No drinking, no naked women, no fights, just pure childish fun. He thought to himself, “I could do this for the next year. Anything she wants to do, I’m there.” This would be his first and last year of his youth. After the first couple of hours, a couple of the younger workers walked around with them until they found a corny dog stand. They sat down on the round stool and ordered some food.

That’s when it dawned on him, while all of these people were being super nice, they were also Levi’s eyes. He caught a couple of them writing stuff down and held their ear like they were talking into a small earpiece like they were the CIA. It only made sense that he would be worried about his daughter's first date. [This is a little excessive.] When the waiters put their food down, Reeza smiled and said, “Are you having fun? You look worried.” Then she squeezed his upper thigh. Grayson thought his p***s was going to jump out of his pants from the surprise. The way she was looking at him, she might’ve been okay with that.
