FALLING FOR THE BILLIONAIRE

Chapter 4

Naomi

People were cheering around me but my mind was wondering off to what he said. I couldn’t comprehend anything. I was walking mindlessly towards my seat.

‘You look beautiful babygirl’. That was all he needed to say to make me breathless. I had to gather a lot of strength to walk down the stage.

My day was not going as I expected. Well it was going great until this s*x god arrived. I don’t wanna spoil my day so I guess it will be better if I get some fresh air. I changed my direction and walked out of the auditorium. Whenever I was upset or exhausted, I would walk around my college campus to lighten my mood.

I was sitting in one of the benches in the garden and looking around to no one in particular. Today was indeed a great day. Everyone around me was as happy as I am. Many happy family faces were visible throughout the campus. I was feeling light and happy again. I let all my thoughts slip by. I had everything I needed, my family, Jane, degree and my awaiting job. And as for Mr. Andrew, I hope to never see him again. I really didn’t want any boy drama in my life. I preferred sorted life so I always kept distance from guys and it will be going on until I’m financially stable.

“Is something worrying you babygirl?” I immediately turned towards the husky voice. What was he doing here? Does he have no work at all? I was idealizing the wrong guy it seems.

“Nothing that concerns you” with that being said I again looked towards the people. I really didn’t want him here at all. I was so irritated with him.

“Why do you have to dismiss me all the time?” he said. His eyes were intensely staring at me seeking my attention but I was giving nothing.

“Why do you have to give me stupid nickname?” I snapped at him. His nicknames were doing something to me so I wanted him to stop.

“I’m sorry babygirl, won’t repeat my mistake” he said with that mischievous tone. He definitely was mocking me.

He was really annoying. I feel his aura is the only thing that makes me wet, not his personality and all thanks to him and his annoying mouth.

“What do you want? Why the f**k are you here anyways?” He is my future boss and here I am yelling at him. He is f*****g everything up. I hate his guts now.

“Well there is nothing you could give me and it’s a free country so I can move around anywhere I want” he said as-a-matter-of-fact. I’ll be honest, his first sentence really hurt my dignity and his second sentence made me embarrassed. I stood up to leave but his hands held my arms to stop me.

“What happen Naomi? No comeback for my statement” he was infuriating me to the extreme. I really tried to hold back but he made me reach my limit.

“Don’t underestimate people. They might take everything from you without you realizing and I wonder how can a lazy ass like you get so much in just such a short period” I paused and his eyes were searching for an answer. “I guess you slept around to get everything little boy” with this being said he left my hands and I turned around and started walking.

I never wanted to insult anyone, let alone my future boss. He was getting on my nerves and I never ever in my life reacted like this. I felt a bit guilty to say those stuffs. Even though I knew very well he worked hard to reach where he was now but I couldn’t deal with all those emotions that were corrupting me at that moment.

I was almost near my auditorium’s gate when I felt drained. I had to go back and apologize to him. He deserved respect no matter what happens. He earned that respect. With that in mind I turned again and started walking towards that bench.

He was not there anymore. I looked around but no sign of him. I felt guilt eating me up. I dropped down on the bench and sighed . I have to apologize to him.

I felt something soft on my fingers. That’s when I saw a rose and a card. I picked it up and saw Andrew’s initials. I turned the card and saw it.

‘Its fine babygirl. No need to apologize. I pushed you over the edge so it was my fault. I hope to see you soon’- The card read. It was his handwriting I guess. It was beautiful

How did he know I was coming back again? Was he watching me coming back? Or maybe he predicted I would come. I can’t be that predictable right? Ugh.

He made me feel so many different emotions in just a day. Mesmerized, Shocked, Annoyed, Angry, Guilt, Exhausted. Now I really wanted this day to end soon.

I dragged my feet back to the auditorium. The ceremony was coming to an end. Everyone was rising from their seats and moving towards the hall for lunch. I saw Jane and her family. I greeted them and we all went to meet my parents. We have been friends for so long that even our family were kind of friends. We even shared family dinner together.

We even meet Chris family. We introduced each other’s family just as a friend. Jane was not ready yet to let her family know about their relationship status and Chris respected her choice. Me and my family left for my apartment and Jane decided to stay with her parents in their hotel.

She was a rich kid but still never flaunt about that. She considered her parents were rich and not her. I really liked her ideology. She was hardworking and career oriented. Her parents wanted her to join the company but she wanted to pursue her dream job. She wanted to work for New York’s leading media company. She loved her writings and she was even fortunate to get her job in that company as a junior editor in Sports.

As for Chris, well he was gonna join his parents company. He considered it was his duty to take ahead his father’s hard work and make it one of leading furniture manufacturing company. He was happy and I feel it is all that matters.

The ceremony ended with us clicking random pictures with our friends, family and one for our year book. Me, Jane and Chris even went through the whole college to rejoice our memories. Each corner had something we could relate to.

I took a warm shower and changed into my PJs when we got back home. We had dinner before getting back home. I was preparing for my next morning. Tomorrow holds another important day. My first day at my very first job. I didn’t wanna be late on my first day after all my hard work. I prepared all my necessary documents and put it in my new bag. Well Chris and Jane gifted me the bag for my new job. I definitely had to gift them as well.

I was sitting near my window and looking towards the clear sky when I heard the door opening. I turned around to meet with the loving eyes of my sister. She came inside and sat near me. We stayed silent for few minutes until she spoke up.

“Do you have a boyfriend?” I could sense her hidden question which related to her life.

“Nope” I simply replied. I didn’t have to lie to her anyways. She hesitated for a second and then questioned me again. “Have you ever been in love?”

“I had a serious crush on Jane’s brother but nothing much. Are you in love?” she blushed and nodded her head. I already knew it. She is predictable as always.

“If that guy ever makes my little sister cry then he’ll be dead” I looked at her and replied. She turned towards the sky again with a sad face.

Did I say something wrong? Well I don’t care. If he does makes her cry I’ll blow his face off. I was waiting for her to say something but nothing came.

After few minutes she stood up and turned to leave. Before walking away she kissed my cheeks and started walking muttering a small good night to which a nodded and responded her back. She reached the door but before leaving she turned and said something which took me off guard.

“Don’t worry sis, you won’t get the chance to kill him” with that she left.
