Chapter thirty-four

Ida's POV

André took us to the circus yesterday ,and today he invited me to the movies.It had been a week and it was official,I had fallen for him.A week of haters,jealous eyes and people finally talking and noticing me.I didn't want to fall for him but I did.I hated him but there was something about  him too.His eyes,they way they looked into mine,his face,his incredibly handsome face.

"Thank you"The woman selling the tickets said to André as she handed him the tickets after he had paid.

We showed our tickets to the man inspecting them and after we got stamped on the wrists,we were allowed in.

We made our way to the the sixth role and took our seats.Others joined us.We put on our glasses but I didn't  take mine off.I wouldn't be able to see if I took  them off.

We munched on popcorn and sipped on coke. I laid my head on André 's shoulder when we were watching the movie;twilight.

The movie closed and André took me to the ice-cream shop to get us ice-cream.

"So Ida,where would you like us to go tomorrow" He licked his strawberry ice-cream and gave me that white smile.

I found myself blushing."Let's go on a picnic?" I suggested.

"Anywhere for you babe"He said as his hand reached to cover mine on the table.

Had I mentioned that he had started calling me babe?!!

I looked at his hand on top of mine and smiled.

"We could take some fruits and cake and tea"I said.My gaze shifted from our  hands to his lips.I watched as his tongue swiped over his upper lip,licking off the spot of ice-cream that had been left on his lip.

My mind was blank and everything  was in slow motion now.My eyes moved back to his eyes and back to his lips that  were now parted and his pearly whites now showing.

I leaned closer and closer and found myself moving  closer to his face.

I closed my eyes and stretched my lips in a kissing way.I was stopped when a finger was placed on my lips.

I opened my eyes and saw André muffling a laugh,his cheeks full of air.

Gosh!!He had a way of charming me.

I pulled away instantly  and looked  at my ice-cream feeling disgraced.

"We should get going" He told me and took my hand in his.I stood up from the chair.

I couldn't  looking at him when he dropped me at home.He kissed me on the cheek and waved him.

"Isn't it strange" Rea tapped her chin"that he used to bully you and now he makes out with you from what you told me last time"

I shrugged."Meh"

"You should be careful Ida" She warned and put a plate of chicken pot pie on the kitchen counter for me.

"You haven't  met him yet,he's  dreamy"I accepted the fork she handed to me and ate a piece of the pie.

She gasped."Dreamy you say..you've also told me that he's a play boy....wouldn't....he want to go out with  you for some other reasons"

"Like...?"

"Like your money.... To get closer to father's  business"

"Why would he ever want to get closer to my father's  business and my money"

She shrugged."I don't know maybe to use your money and dump you and then get closer yo your dad's business"

I scoffed."No.He wouldn't  do that"

She shook her head and her mouth had suddenly  turned down"Be careful  ma'am"

She left the kitchen,my mind wandering over the scene  where we met at the garden.So dreamy...

Xoey's POV

I had been tutoring Lilly (as I liked to call her) for a week and so far she is very easy to teach and very understandable.I went to her brother's apartment to tutor  her in her room.André never talked to me and I never talked to him when I saw him.We just passed by each other.

I had to tutor her exactly  when we close from school.We board a taxi to her place which is a ten minutes drive and I tutor her only for fifty minutes on Tuesdays,Thursdays and Fridays.When it's five,I go to work and when it's ten,I close from work and go home at ten thirty  which  is very late.

I don't usually  see aunt and Dianna but I always meet the maid who preheats my food in the microwave for me to eat. I only see Aunt Carrie,Beth and Dianna in the mornings and on my free days.I don't get to spend time to spend with Dianna like we used to do.

Like for the past days,I went to her room at her apartment.I gathered the textbooks  from my bag and thumped them on her bed. I watched as she paced about the room.

"Lilly?" I called but she didn't  mind me and continued  to pace about the room,hitting her phone in her palm.

"You expecting a call?".No answer.

"Lilly!"I cried.

She turned her head to look at me and stopped pacing about the room.

"Yes?"

"Are you expecting a call?"

She sat beside me on the bed."Yes I am waiting for my mom to call.You see,she promised to come here last week Wednesday but she hasn't  yet arrived.I'm worried  something  has happened to her"

I didn't  know what to say.I took her hands in mine.

"She'll probably call you.She's  your mom.A mom wouldn't  want her daughter  to be worried for long.She'll be fine. Maybe it's work or she just wants to surprise you.You know,like a surprised visit"

Her worried face lightened up.

"Thanks Xoey"

"No prob. Now let's continue with the maths to get some good grades"

She giggled and I flipped the pages to go to our next topic.

André 's POV

I couldn't believe  Ida had fallen for me already.I thought she would be a hard task but my looks....Ha ha oh my looks have always been the one to charm girls.

I just needed to get to her house and steal the files from her house,that's all.I drove home and went to my room.Lil wasn't  still talking to me since she found out that I had two girlfriends.I had seen she and that  nerd whom I never knew a couple of times at my apartment  and I never talked to her when I met her.

Mom had promised  to meet us ladt week but hadn't shown up.I didn't know why but I didn't  bother.

I took my phone from  my pocket and dialled Dad's number.I hit the call button  and waited for him to pick.

"Hello"

"Hello Dad,you remember the billionaire's daughter"

"What about her?"

"I found her and she goes out with me now"

I heard him laugh then he got back to talking to me."Have you got the papers"

"No.But I will very soon"

"Get the papers and you'll get your reward"

"Ok dad.I'll call you whem there's any news.Bye"

"See you then"

I cut the call and laid on my bed.

I had one more thing to do.I need to get to her house.

Hailey's POV

".... she left the cafeteria  with the card on the table and then I picked it up and read the location.I followed André there to ruin his date but Ida didn't  show up.We got into an argument and he told me he was done" I cleaned my eyes with the tissue Catherine handed to me and dumped the other one on the carpet.

Raven and Gwyneth  patted my back and Adelaide was squatted infront of me,also listening to my story.

"Why would he ever dump  you for Ida"Gwyneth said,still confused by André 's actions.

"More,a nerd" Adelaide added.

"Unless there's  a reason" Raven thought.

"I think I'm the reason why" Catherine  owned up."The day you missed school and you were at André 's house,I came there" She sighed."I told him that Ida was the billionaire's daughter" She confessed.

"Why would you do that?" I shouted at her.

She shrugged."I wanted to defend you.For not supporting you when-"

"Enough Catherine" I put up my hand to halt her."Leave"

"Wait what?"She said,aghast.

"Hailey I was-"

"Just leave okay"

She shrugged her shoulders and took her bag from my from my bed. She shot me a pitiful look,shook her head and left.

"Hailey you didn't have to sack her like that she was just trying to help" Adelaide explained.

"You know,you all should get out now" I shouted at them and pointed to the door.

They picked up their bags and left.

Now I was stuck home,with no phone because  I misplaced it at the party and I had no idea where my car was.

My parents were really furious about me losing them.

My dad refused to buy me a new car.

They had left early in the morning and I had missed school today too.I've missed school twice this week.

And I have been crying at home.

Maybe André had a reason for leaving me.I jeloused Ida.More now.For her riches,her expensive life,my ex-boyfriend and everything.

I hate her.

I shouldn't  let them see me like this.I straightened up,got a shower and dressed up.

I had bags under my eyes when I looked in the mirror  and my face was pale.I applied some makeup and took a taxi  to the nearest phone shop go purchase  a new phone.

After,I had purchased  my phone,I bought a new SIM card and restored all of my information.

I went back  to my bedroom.I hated Ida.So much.I wanted to kill everyone  around her.Everyone.Even her.

You just wait Ida and watch me.
