I forced on the capris but still refused to pass my hips. The perks of being a lil bit too thick. I sighed and sliped it off and took a pair of shorts from my suitcase instead,

It was my favourite pair because the edges were fraying  and well, it was purple denim. I tied my hair into a messy bun and pulled the hem of my crop top downwards before I wore  some slippers and went out of my room.

Since it was dinner time, I went downstairs to the dinning room and saw everyone seated. By everyone I meant Rodney, and his parents. My heart skipped a beat when I saw his face again and instead of sitting next to him, I sat adjacent to him.

A maid came around and served me a palatable dish of paella, Dinner was in silence and despite the awkwardness, I enjoyed my meal.

"So...Verena how was college?" The old man asked.

"Fine I guess" I replied casting him a glance and I nearly choked when Rodney's eyes met with mine. I felt some chills ran up my spine and I looked back into my food.

"Do you like your room?" Mrs Lee askeed

"Yes please and can I stop being inteerrogated?" I scoffed. my phone buzzed and I saw a text from my mom, all in bold lettering;

BE POLITE!

 I looked around wondering if she was spying on me. weird woman.

"I apologise for my curt behaviour." I said and the woman just smiled at me. I felt a pair of eyes on me and I checked only to find  Rodney's . He lowered his eyes and stared at my cleavage for a few seconds before he stared into my eyes and winked.  I rolled my eyes ignoring the effect he had on me

I got up and headed towards the kitchen to wash my plate. So I foamed the sponge and carefully washed the plate and turned on the tap to wash the plate.

I slightly frowned when a masculine scent filled the kitchen and my heartbeat increased its pace.

"You got sassier I see." His overly deep sexy voice rumbled out. Another shiver of excitement rushed through me. I rolled my eyes and chose not to reply. I placed the plate on the dish drainer and turned around and had a skip of heart beat at his height.

"Aww you have a really cute height."

"Just because you're tall doesnt mean I'm short, mister." I retorted

"Ok chill."  he said  gazing at my waist down my hips to my legs.

"Are you done staring?" I asked and he gently scratched light brown hair.

"I heard were getiing married."  He said 

"Okay so?" I asked taking note note on my heart beat.

"Why are you being so mean?" he pouted and I scoffed walking towards him to bypasss. I hardy expected him to gently slide his hand up on me and and grab my forearm gently.

A kinda heat enamated frm him and he was affecting me with it. He gently carresed my arm as he stared down at me while I looked ahead. 

"Hey." he said lowly making my heart jolt. I wriggled my arm but he gently tightened his  grip and I had to just jerk out my hand and stomp away from him to go to my room.

When I got there, I shut the door and flopped onto the cold the cold sheets of my bed. My heart was racing to the extent I was even panting. My arm still felt like was it was in his  hold. This was so not acceptable! I suddeny noticed my throat was really parched.

Two options 

Either I went by myself (And meet Rodney which I dont want to) or... I sent one of the sevants 

But just as I had to done thing.. leave this toom. Shoot. 

I got up anyways and opened the door to and luckily Collins was roaming about 

"Um..Collins!" I yelled . he winced at my high pitched voice before he turned around and Rodney was also approaching.

"Can you get me some juice from the fridge?" I requested and rushed back into my room  and  hastily locked the door and breathed  hard while I heard a deep chuckle of which I subtly ignored.       

***

Mrs. Lee informed me tht the weddidng planning started from today. And Rodney was taking me to see the planner or whatever against my will!

I intentionally slid a on a casual black and blue stripped fittiing which passed my mid thighs by a few inches.. I also braided my hair afterwards. I took a pair of flat sandas and left my room for downstairs, Mrs. Lee and  Mr Lee were in a conversation with another planner.

"Dear he's outside." She told me and I nodded ignorning the planner's presence as I went outside, he was at the drivers seat tapping his fingerrs on the wheel. on hearing the sound of my sandals he turned to stare at me slightly taking in my appearance in. I smirked and opened the backseat to sit but he had it locked.

"I won't sit next to you."

"I guess you'll stand " he smirked and I eyed him before I stomped over to the passengers seat and opened the door to sit. He laid his head on the steering wheel  and stared at me with his hair hanging on his face and his lips pouted.

"Would you stop staring?" I demanded glaring at him.

"No" he said. and I fumed and looked ahead he was still staring at me.

"Why are you staring?" i asked.

"You're so beautiful." he whispered.

"Shut up." I muteered blushing.

"Why?" He asked intentionally deepening his voice making me shiver.

"Because I said so." I said and blushed more when he lowered his gaze to my thighs.

"Or is it because you're shy of me?" He wriggled his brows.

"Can you please drive?" I begged and he chucled revving the engine.

"How old are you now" he asked.

"Seventy-five" I sarcastically stated.

"So you're my sugar mommy?" he asked.

"Ew" I scrunched my face up and he laughed deeply.

"How old are you?"

"None of your business." I sighed.

"Tell me"

"Or else?" I asked.

"Do you really wanna know?" He asked.

"Whatever, just don't do any thing stupid." I glared at him before I crossed my right leg over my eft leg.

""Tell me your age...please?" he begged.

"No." I smirked and later on he stopped the car. and then he smirked.

"What?" I asked my smirk faltering. he didn't respond. but he did something else worse. he stretched his arm over my chair, leaned in and stared closely at me.

"What?!" I asked, pretty much annoyed. but he still didn't speak. he smirked wider and stared continuously at my face.

"Okay fine you jerk! I'm 22." I rolled my eyes and he chuckled leaning much closer and he pecked my cheeks.

"Stop." I grumbled blushing pushing his chest away.

"I'm done" he shrugged and I rolled my eyes folding my arms as we kept going.
