Chapter 8

After school closed, I went to the bank to withdraw the money and head off to buy my car. I bought a red Lamborghini Aventador. I love red so I felt okay when I got my favorite color.

I couldn't drive it because I didn't know how to drive. I called my mom to come for it. She took a ride there and came to drive me in the Lamborghini Aventador home.

I was very excited, I couldn't hide my happiness. I kept shouting and shouting on top of my voice.

My dad then got down from the stairs " why are you shouting on top of your voice to, Ava?" 

I rushed to hug him and thanked him for fulfilling my wish. 

He told me that he wanted to surprise me and he could see that I'm surprised because I didn't expect that.

He told me that he'll be going on a business trip so he decided to buy it before he goes.

I went straight to my room and started playing loud music to enjoy myself. Finally I've gotten what I want, I'll learn how to drive then I can go wherever I want without any driver.

My dad introduced me to a man, 

Fred as my driver.

I smiled at him and shaked his hands" nice to meet you.

After dinner, I decided to go and have fun as a celebration for my new car. I didn't ask my parent's permission but when I got out of the house wanting to go out, my driver insisted on me going to inform my parents before going.

I went to their room to tell them and they granted me the permit.

The driver drove me to a nearby club to have fun. I was young so I decided to take some soft drinks and enjoy myself.

After the enjoyment, I saw Alexander standing in front of me.

" You again?Are you here to touch me without permission again?" I fumed in anger.

" No Seraphina, I'm very sorry for doing that to you,it was an unintentional act, I was drunk and I really regret doing that" he apologized looking sad.

"I don't have time for your apology, I don't think there's sincerity in this apology" I walked away and headed to my car.

He followed me there and he was still insisting on asking me for his forgiveness.

I told him that I'll think about it. I entered my car and my driver drove off.

Alexander was really stressed out, he couldn't imagine himself begging a girl to forgive him. His love for me had made him very weak because he hardly begs a girl, the girls are the ones begging him to be his girlfriend.

I got home, entered my room and threw myself onto my bed. Alexander's words kept ringing in my mind. My instinct kept telling me to forgive him but I didn't want to. 

The next week, my dad got prepared for the business trip. I hugged him that morning when he was going. I was already prepared for school.

Alexander's father told him that he's going on a business trip. He was surprised because that has never happened before. He asked his dad how that happened. His dad tapped his left shoulder " you'll soon become the CEO of this company because I'm getting old. Put this in mind, you have to take the risk to put the company into a higher level" 

Alexander was confused but he nodded.

Alexander met me at the cafeteria in school and he kept apologizing as usual, Ava looked at me and smiled. She could see through my eyes that I'm going to forgive.

 I told him that I've forgiven him because his friend, Felix testified that he was drunk.

He was very happy and hugged me instantly, I was reluctant then he left me immediately. He thanked me and left.

" What did you do to him? I've never seen him at a soft spot like this. A whole Alexander Harrington, the only rich, cutest, handsome guy and above all a playboy on campus begging you to forgive you and even hugging you. There's more to this Seraphina" Ava was confused.

I was confused myself because I heard stories about him being the strong hearted guy on campus playing with the girls' heart like Lionel Messi playing with a football on the football field.

Hahaha, you laughed right?.

When school closed, Alexander came to my class. "What! I wasn't expecting him. I've forgiven him already so what does he want again?" I thought.

I was packing my things , getting ready to go home when he came to me asking me to give him a little minute of my time.

I really wanted to go home early because I had to go shopping, my clothes were getting old. 

I gave him the time to talk.

" Seraphina I know it might be too early to do this but I want you to be my friend please" 

My classmates who had not gone home yet were staring at us. I then shouted at them to mind their business.

" As you said already,it is too early to ask this. I just accepted your apology and now friendship. Let me think about it and get back to you" I replied.

He nodded and I walked out of the class to my car where my driver had been waiting patiently for me. 

" I hope she gives me a positive answer" he thought as he went back to class to pack his things.

In San Francisco, where my dad and other business men were at the conference room, waiting for the chairman of the headquarters to come and announce the winners of the categories.

My dad then saw a familiar face. His mind went back to the university. That's when he remembered that he was the guy he snatched his wife from.

" If I had not taken Vanessa from him, she wouldn't have been a CEO's wife because he was a playboy playing with Vanessa's heart" he thought.

My dad never knew that he became the CEO of a jewelry company until today.

The chairman came, greeted them, and they had some important conversations.

Everyone was waiting for the awards but he told them that the awards will be announced at the Gala Event tomorrow.

He ended the meeting.

I got home very hungry and wanted to go to the mall to shop. 

" Maid! Get my food ready I'm going upstairs be fast about it" 

I got to my room, dressed up and went downstairs. I saw no food on the dining table.

" Where's this senseless maid, I said get my food ready and I come and see no food here?" I shouted.

She got out of the kitchen immediately and said that the food is not ready yet.

I got upset and walked away. I entered my car and drove off to a restaurant for food.

I was eating and at the same time listening to music. Someone startled me.

I raised up my head and saw Alexander. 

" Are you stalking me?" 

" No please I came to buy something and viola I've seen you here" he replied.

I smiled.

He asked if I got an answer to his request. I told him that he should calm down, I'm gonna reply soon. He asked if he could sit here with me. I accepted.

He then started discussing interesting things about him. How I've changed his character towards girls. I kept quiet all along when he was talking. 

I broke the silence the moment he said I've changed him.

" What did I do to change you?" I asked.

" You're the only girl who resisted my touch that night. All girls are willing to do that with me no matter what happens. I could see you're different and that made me believe that there are other different gir

ls like you but my behavior is keeping them away from me" he explained.

I giggled.
