RYAN.
The waitress left my table and I looked up and watched her walk to another table where her attention was needed. She got me torqued off than I already was and it took everything in me not to yell at her.Deep down, I know she wasn't intentionally trying to piss me off,she just doesn't know the right time to be friendly towards people sometimes.My sister sent a text again. I quickly checked it, ignoring the growls in my stomach which signified hunger.'What about Erika?'I blew my cheeks out sluggishly. Erika is the girl for all, not the girl for one.I typed a message back to my sister 'Erika? You want me to go for Erika? For real? Nah thank you'I could imagine the vicious girl that happened to be my sister, laughing loudly at the dining table in the presence of my parents.I finally brought my attention to the food on the table and started to eat slowly. I like to come here because they cook good food,it's got a nice, homey environment and no one knows me as the rich kid here. They only know me as a lover of this comfy place, not as a rich man's son.I received another text,I stopped eating to read the message.'Just make sure you get a good girlfriend or fiancee asap'That was like an advice she was throwing at me but I don't know how to go about this.You see, the issue isn't getting a girlfriend or a fiancee as lots of girls throw themselves at me left and right,but the issue is getting a 'good girl' that would go with the plan.I exhaled and looked up,my eyes connected with the waitress again, It always does whenever I come here. After eye contact,she would smile and wave at me,but today,she rolled her eyes at me and turned her back to walk away.I'm not surprised that actually happened after showing her a bit of my other side. I've met girls that gives me this sassy attitudes after being harsh towards them but they always come back to me. They just always do. The waitress is not gonna be an exemption, she'll come around soon.To be honest,I didn't intend to be so hard on her,but I guess I couldn't help it as I was in a very bad mood and I'm still in that upset mood.My eyes found hers again. She was obviously still mad at me,I could see the way her dark blue_gray eyes held so much firing anger. I boldly maintained eye contact with her until she was forced to look away.My phone buzzed. What the hell is it this time around? I read the message from none other than my sister.'They want you to come home. They wanna see you. They miss you'I dropped my phone without sending back a reply,then chuckled bitterly to myself. They wanna see me so they can mock me about how I failed to be a responsible son, a son who's not worthy to be the CEO of the company? Nah.I started to eat my food in a rush to take my mind off everything, except the simple things around me. I watched a mother feed her child some food,I watched some couples on double date laugh and enjoy their company,I watched a family of four chatting and eating happily like they had no problems in the world,while I eat alone dealing with my problems. Alone.To someone like my brother,my problem is not a big deal, someone like my sister would pretend it's not a big deal,while I make it obvious that it's a big problem for me.*****The loud music plus the loud hype noise in the club,made me forget my problems. I had to come here for a distraction. The moment my friend invited me,I grabbed the invitation immediately without second thought.The girl on my laps also enjoyed being around me and that's because she knew who I was,she knew there was money. I saw a guy approached her earlier but she showed no interest in the guy and came to me instead. I can't push her away,I needed her around me. She was the second girl I've had to keep me company today.The first one was a sexy ginger. I had to let her go because she reminded me so much of my sister who was a fake red haired.From the corner of my eyes,I sighted one of my friends,Dave rising to his feet to leave quietly,but my other lousy friend caught him and yelled dramatically."Heyyyyy where ya think ya going bud?""I have a meeting at nine tomorrow" Dave replied with a grin."Oh right! Mama's gon kill ya if ya don't get there on time hm?" My lousy friend mocked him.Dave shook his head also grinning. "I really have to go Charles""You ain't going nowhere now. Just spend thirty more minutes and then you can leave"Dave thought about what Charles said,scanned the club and when he got inviting smiles from some girls few meters away,he finally decided to stay.We are all casanova I swear.We drank and laughed again, having fun with the half naked girls around us. When thirty minutes was over, Dave stood up to leave,but Charles stopped him again."I invited some of my other friends,the more the merrier" he winked at Dave who was reluctant to stay."I have a hot friend coming tonight" Charles Informed juicily trying to make Dave stay."Dude I'm not gay,still into girls, but if by any chance I become gay, I'd take you as my boyfriend" Dave said and we all laughed."The hot friend I was talking about is a girl" Charles moved closer to him "Don't you need someone nice for a date on Friday?" Charles asked smirking.Dave sat,his eyes lit up with interest "Really?"Why do we all need a nice date?Charles nodded at Dave, smirking proudly "You see, I'm a good friend. I arranged your date already"I was really interested in the conversation as that reminded me of my problems. I needed someone also."You know I used to go to a normal highschool unlike you rich kids that attended expensive ones" Charles can be very blunt when he wants to be. He doesn't care who gets hurt in the process. "Well,she was my highschool friend. I was her senior but we were still friends and she's pretty cool""And here she comes" Charles announced.We all looked towards the entrance direction and truly, the girl was hot. She was simply dressed in a tight crazy jeans and a small top with little or no makeup on her face. I squinted my eyes at her trying to remember where I knew her from, but as she got closer to the table,it clicked in immediately. I almost spit out my saliva. The waitress?What the actual fuck?CLAIRE.I didn't want to be here in a lousy club perceiving different sweats and perfumes,but I'm here now,aren't I?If I didn't tell Terry about Charles' invitation,I wouldn't be here. The moment he got to know about the invitation,he started convincing me to go. He listed different reasons why I shouldn't go home early and why I should just club tonight. Terry knew Charles well since we all attended the same highschool and when Charles had specially sent a text asking if I would come tonight and I could bring friends if I wanted, I was reminded of his bad ways in highschool,always partying and still haven't changed. When I entered the club with Terry behind me who had been reminding me that we're going straight to the VIP section in the club where Charles and his friends were having fun. I looked kinda different from the other girls here in my simple high waist tight jeans and crop top. My dark brown hair was up in a ponytail and I had a shiny lip gloss on to coat my lips. I look
RYAN. "With that smile,Dave would think you're a very nice girl" I blurted out. She had a nice genuine smile to be honest. She used to give me that smile in the past. She threw me a look I could interpret as 'I'ma hit this glass cup on your forehead'. I'm sure it's taking everything in her not to act on her thoughts. "I am nice,okay?" She laid emphasis on each word. "Hm. A nice girl indeed" I said not arguing with her. Maybe if I was to be honest here,I would admit I brought out this side of her. She has been kind to me in the past,but now, that has suddenly changed. I thought she'd come around sooner though and we'd start talking again,but she surprised me. She's still so sassy towards me. "What's up with you today anyways?" She suddenly asked. The question took me by surprise. I frowned at her threw a query at her as a reply to her question. "What do you mean?"I definitely knew what she was talking about,I just needed to be sure since the question had surprised me. She s
CLAIRE. I checked my phone as I took a bite of the pancake made by Terry in Charles' kitchen. I smiled after reading the message and began to type. 'Thanks for checking up on me Dave,I hope you're fine too'The memory of the free conversation we had yesterday came flooding to my brain and I smiled widely. "Dave?" I looked up and realized Charles and Terry has been watching me intently. I nodded at Charles."Yeah Dave. He got my number yesterday""Dave is a nice guy. He's really cool" Charles said. "He is" I agreed. "This is the first time I'm seeing you roll with cool guys" Terry threw a remark at Charles."Your a shithead" Charles said grinning along with Terry. "They look matured and act older than they look" Terry comments."That's 'cause they're older. I'm the youngest among them" Charles said. "Oh" I said softly. "But I really like that Ryan dude" Terry stated.I kept mute, waiting for his next sentence. "He's got nice vibes" He added. Charles took a sip of his coffee,
RYAN.Why on earth is she walking in the rain? I'd sighted her seconds ago as I already recognized the shape of her legs and the way she takes each walking steps. I saw an expression of relief cross her face when I stopped to help her, but when she saw my face cearly,her facial appearance changed instantly. "Come on,get in. It's raining heavily" I urged. "I can see that" she said slowly. I exhaled tiredly and ordered "Claire,Just get in"Her hard expression softened a bit for a few seconds before she rolled her eyes. "Can't you be nice to me for once this week?"Am I not being nice already?"Do you want me to pluck out my eyes for you before I get viewed as a nice person?" I asked mockingly. "Can you do that?" She mocked back, turning the table around. I drummed my fingers on the steering wheel. "Do you enjoy staying in the rain?" I asked,confused. She wiped off drops of rain on her forehead,and some other drops appeared seconds later. "What's stopping you from getting in th
CLAIRE. It seems Ryan really enjoys getting me pissed off because that's what he has been doing ever since he offered to help me. He doesn't care about hurting anyone's feelings,and it takes just seconds for him to rile me up.I want him to go back to being the expressionless customer that doesn't say more than five words to me. We were so cool until I unintentionally hit my head on his chest, right at that moment, everything changed. "I know you're not a gentleman" I said sharply with the furiousness I felt in me. He smirked "Hm. You just realized that now?"That made me silent for a while. I held the shirt in my hand, glaring daggers at him. I stretched the shirt towards him. "I'd better not change then" He looked taken aback like he'd expected me to do something more dramatic, but he soon recovered. "Your gonna ruin my car with those drops of water from your wet clothes" "Then I'd better get out from this car" I said turning myself to open the car door not caring about the co
RYAN.Dave folded his arms across his broad chest confidently. Maybe that's why my sister is falling for him. She always tries to deny her attraction towards Dave but I know she wants to end up on the same bed with him one Saturday morning. "I like Claire. I like her vibes,...""But?" I inputed for him."But she's not exactly my type. She's hot and beautiful,but I prefer....""Red haired girls with green eyes?" I finished for him, my voice and facial appearance as hard as steel. "Uhm. I wasn't trying to describe your sister?""You don't sound sure" I pointed out. I've always been suspicious of their relationship since the time I met him in her bedroom, sitting on her bed. Cassie had looked surprised and nervous but quickly covered that up with a wide smile and told me Dave was in her bedroom to drop off something. I didn't question anyone, I'd simply nodded and waited for him to leave her room."Your sister was a brunette,a natural brunette before she dyed her hair to red" He's go
RYAN. In the car, Claire had stretched foward a familiar small bag which I guessed contained the black T-shirt she wore on the rainy day. "Don't worry about it. You can keep it" I said casually. "I made sure it's dry cleaned" she mentioned. "Good for you" I replied. She rolled her eyes. "Rich kids like you don't value things like this anyways""Last I checked I'm not a kid. I should be the one calling you a kid instead"I have to keep my tongue in check, this is not the time to piss her off,but then it's still hard not to give replies to her sharp words. "What do you mean 'rich kids like me' anyways?" I asked slowly. "Never mind"I frowned at her curt response. I kept my eyes on the windshield without uttering a word. The car was as silent as a graveyard. Deep down I was nervous on how to start the conversation. This is Claire we're talking about here,not an ordinary girl I want for satisfaction of my sexual desires or something. This is the fierce Claire that could cut off my
CLAIRE.When Ryan had asked me to be his date like I don't have a choice than to accept him, I got really enraged. I mean come on,he's the one who needs my help here,not the other way round. I'd calmed down a bit when he stopped me from leaving. I've not even completely taken in his request to make me his date when he brought up his need to make me his girlfriend. I was shocked. I wish he would tell me it was a joke,but if there's one thing I'm sure I know about Ryan,it's the fact that he doesn't joke around, especially not with sensitive things like this. He mentioned the benefits that came with becoming his girlfriend which includes being responsible for my Uncle's meds fee whenever his sickness comes up again, and then I agreed. We talked about the rules and regulations. "Are we gonna have sex?" I asked bluntly. "We don't need to have sex if you don't want to, but touching, kissing,PDA are all involved" He answered with his usual casual tone,then he added with a more serious
