The Millionaire player has met his match

Chapter Two - Getting to work

Alexa's P.O.V

I had arrived back at my apartment after my shift, it was three a.m, and I was shattered. It has been a busy night. Addie was already in bed, sound asleep. I, however, would need to stay awake for another hour cause if I go straight to bed. I would not sleep. My mind needs time to calm down before I sleep. I switched the kettle on, making myself some lemon tea before heading to my bedroom, getting into my P.J.s. I grabbed my laptop before climbing into bed. I decided to do some research cause I could not remember his first name, and it was annoying me. I typed in his family name, soon finding him, Grayson Rhodes. I found mainly photos of him with different women on his hip. Dirty playboy. I wonder what it would take to keep his attention on one female; maybe I will need to test that one out. I decided I would start right now. I smirked as I signed onto i********:, searching for him and smirked when I found him. I followed him, waiting to see how long it would take him to contact me. I sat my phone down, and as I did, it went off, telling me I had a message. I smirked when I see it was from him.

Grayson Rhodes: Hey, sexy. Thought you never knew who I was?

Alexa Lively: I lied, well kind of, I never knew your first name.

Grayson Rhodes: So you decided to stalk me? Not like I have a problem with it. My offer to spend the night still stands; my bed is a little lonely.

Alexa Lively: More curious. Mmm as good as that sounds I am gonna have to pass sweetie. I am sure you probably have some girl lying next to you right now.

Grayson Rhodes: Jealous? I can send you a car to pick you up right now, and I can be ready and waiting for when you get here. Come on sexy I know you wanna.

As tempting as it was, I wasn't going to give into him that easily. I like a little teasing before getting straight into it. I smirked as I read it, I think he wants me more than I thought.

Alexa Lively: I don't get jealous, nice try, though. Thanks for the offer but gonna have to pass tonight. Night handsome. Talk soon.

Grayson Rhodes: I bet I can make you jealous baby. Goodnight you little tease xx

I smirked, giggling to myself before put my phone down. I decided I should get some sleep since it was now four a.m. I snuggled down, smiling like an i***t. I think I am going to have fun with this with him.

I lay in bed, making a plan of seduction. To be honest, I don't think it is going to take much. Grayson wanted any of this he would need to work for it. If he succeeds, he will need to learn that if he is having s*x with me, he will not be having it with anyone else cause that is the rules. I smirked to myself once more before finding my eyes beginning to drift off.

********

I woke with the sound of my phone ringing. I looked at the clock seeing it was only nine a.m. Who has a death wish to call me at this time? I am not a morning person; waking me up is the worst thing a person can do. I hissed annoyed, grabbing my phone without even looking at it cause whoever it was, they were going to get their heads bit off.

"Hello, there better be a good reason for a phone call at this time or I swear." I began but was caught off with a loud chuckle.

"Not a morning person sexy?" I heard a purr at the other end.

Who the f**k was this?

"Who even is this?" I asked, annoyed.

"You forgot all about me already sexy. Just last night you were i********: stalking me." The person laughed.

Grayson Rhodes.

1.      What does he want?

2.      How does he even have my phone number? And he says I am the stalker?

"Where did you get my number, Rhodes?" I asked calmly.

"Oh that I cannot tell you, I have my ways sexy. Not a morning person baby girl?" he chuckled.

Baby girl? Who is he calling, baby girl? I kind of like it, I think.

"OK stalker. Bye now." I laughed, hanging up on him, saving his number in my phone.

As I said, I am not a morning person, plus he doesn't need to know I am interested in him. It never took him long to call back, but I never answered it. I hit the reject button instead. I needed more sleep before I speak to him. I need to be on my best game so that I can play with him. My phone went off again a text message this time. He is adamant, is he not? I decided to read what he was saying.

Grayson Rhodes: well, that was not very nice was is? *pouts* come on sexy answer your phone, come join me for breakfast???

 I smirked at his eagerness. I decided to text him back.

Alexa: Thanks but no thanks, sweetie.

I never any more than that.

Grayson Rhodes: Alexa, I know you want me, stop trying to deny it. I want you too, badly. We can skip breakfast and go straight to the fun stuff ;)

As I read his words, I was very tempted, but again he's got to work for it.

Alexa: I am not that easy. You are used to getting what and who you want when you want it, but for the heads up, I am not one of those people. You want any of this you work it. Have a beautiful day. See you around hot stuff xox

Grayson Rhodes: Challenge accepted. You don't know what you got yourself into, baby. I can be very charming and persuasive when I need to. See you soon. Real soon, xox.

I decided to leave it at that, leave him hanging. I wonder how long it will take him to realise I am not a girl that can get bought with fancy things cause to me he seems the type that does that and it works when it comes to other girls. I am old enough and wise enough to know better. I have had my fair share of players and jackasses to understand how they work, and over the years I have learned how to deal with them, show them they aren't as charming as they think they are. Grayson Rhodes has no clue what he has gotten himself into. I put my phone on silent and decided to get some more sleep before I start my day, my day of doing nothing, how I like it.

"Alexa, you got a delivery." I heard as someone shook me gently.

I groaned, opening my eyes, glaring at my best friend. She laughed, rolling her eyes at me.

"What delivery?" I asked, sitting up, running my hands through my tangled hair.

"Flowers, lovely flowers." She smirked, "think you have an admirer, Alexa." She added winking.

Who would send me flowers?  I looked at her confused, jumping to my feet, heading through to the living room and there they were, they were beautiful.

There was a card attached to them. I slid the card from the envelope, reading it.

Hey Beautiful,

I saw these and thought of you.

Love G.R

P.S you owe me breakfast sexy ;)

I should have known it was him. I smirked to myself, at least he is trying. I am glad he never went overboard with a gift like I thought he would. I love flowers and teddy bears; you have a better chance of winning me over with them rather than jewellery and other fancy things.

"Who are they from?" Addie asked, appearing behind me.

"Some rich guy that thought he could get me with the click of his fingers. He soon got told that it was not going to work on me and that he would need to try harder. I am guessing this is him trying harder." I smiled admiring them; he had good taste.

"Well, I would say he is off to a good start cause you love flowers, especially roses." She smiled, "Who is he, will I know him?" she added.

"I think everyone knows him. Grayson Rhodes, he was at my work last night. He was getting all flirty and teasing then he got me outside when I was having a cig and kissed me." I said smirking, "I then followed him on i********:, he soon got in touch that way. Then this morning he called me. I have no clue where he got my number or my address. Do you think I should be worried?" I asked realising it was a little creepy, how does he know where I stay?

"Grayson Rhodes? Are you for real? I would not be too worried, well I don't think. He is a powerful guy from a powerful family. I never saw him as the type to send flowers. You must have grabbed his attention." She winked

"Yes, I guess. Anyway never mind him right now, that double date still on for tonight?" I asked, changing the subject wanting to stop thinking about Grayson for a bit.

I will text him to thank him, though.

When I said that Addie got a devilish look on her face, smirking. There is something she is not telling me.

"Yes, it is still on and oh my what a surprise it is gonna be for you." She giggled.

"Addie who it is? I hate surprises, tell me?" I pouted at her.

"Nope. You will need to wait and find out. Must go. Bye, lovely, see you in a few hours." She smiled, skipping off, heading out the door before I had a chance to say anything else.

I will get her back for this later. I laughed, shaking my head before getting the roses into some water, they were beautiful. Once I was done, I headed back to my bedroom, grabbing my phone.

Alexa to Grayson Rhodes: Thank You for the roses, they are beautiful. Nicely played

It only took a second before I could see he was writing back to me.

Grayson Rhodes: You are very welcome sexy. I told you, I got game baby. I got charm that you will give into gorgeous. How about that breakfast? Xox

I guess breakfast could not do any harm, could it? It is the least I can do after he sends me those beautiful roses. Plus it will maybe help me find out where he got my number and address from?

Alexa: Breakfast sounds good, well, actually it will be lunch. Time and place?

Grayson Rhodes:  Can't wait. 1 PM at Franco's Italian Restaurant?

Alexa: See you then handsome ;) Thank you again for the roses, they are my favourite flower.

Grayson Rhodes: Beautiful flowers for a beautiful woman, makes sense they are your favourite. See you soon. Sexy. I will try to contain myself when I see you. Xox

I giggled to myself as I read the text. It was kind of cheesy but sweet at the same time.

Alexa:  ;)

That was all I replied. I decided I should probably make a move cause I still had to shower and get ready before I meet him, sure an hour is plenty of time, well I may purposely turn up a little late, make him wait for a little. I am naughty at times.
