chapter 12 meeting Portia

Elena POV

There I am sitting at the bar alone waiting for Sammy to come back, the next thing I know I hear a strange voice and a hand tapping on my shoulder.

"Hi, am Portia, Julian,s girlfriend. "

"Oh hi, I'm Elena, Sammy's girlfriend. "It was strange saying that but it felt good.

" I know , we all know who you are all the girls here today they wish they were you."I was surprised of what she said what she meant.

"What do you mean you all know me?"

"Meaning all the girls here envy you, being with him, though he is a player not any girl can get with him."

Red flag dropped ,I don't know how many now but I know the list is pilling up.

"What do you mean, I don't get it?"

" Don't worry your little head about that just know alot of them wish they were you, his rich and handsome I mean look at his physic if I wasn't with Julian I would have taken my chance with him. "

"Rich ,what do you mean rich?"Portia was shocked by my statement.

"Your telling me that you don't know how filthy rich Sammy's family is? No, dont tell me he didn't tell you that he is in his 20s and he is a millionaire already.

That he is the next hair to a billion dollar company his father has built, are you telling me that you didn't even research him on Google on social media what rock are you living under?" I was shocked I didn't know all this.

" No I didn't research him I didn't think of it at all."

"So you telling me you fell for Sammy for real, not that he is rich?"

"Yeah so?"

"Girl run that man will stomp on heart and feed it to the lion's. " Her words piercing through my mind.

" Thanks for the tip I'll make sure am careful with my heart."

She left and I was left thinking about what she said, and I don't think I'll keep this vital information to myself. I have to confront him, am not that type of a girl who dates a guy because of his statuses.

I look at Sammy's direction I can see what she means, you can see at how he conduct himself that he was raised in money.

But he never once said anything to me, maybe the character they portray of him Is what he wants them to to see but maybe he showed me his real character.

The caring,loving and respectful guy that's all I see and he never once jumped my boundaries.

I'll see for myself what if they all say that cause they jealous I shouldn't take what they say to heart.

Red flag and I missed it, this list is getting long will I open my eyes to reality or I will keep being blinded by love? Only time will tell.

Sammy came over I didn't even see him coming my way.

"Hey, your miles away didn't you hear me call you?"

"Oh sorry, I was just thinking about what Portia said I didn't hear you."

" What did she say?"

"What?"

"I said what did she tell you? I can see she did a number on you."

"Nothing serious don't worry about it."

"Come on please tell me, I can clear up some of what she might have said about me. I know she spoke about me, these girls are just obsessed with me.

"She told me that your rich, and that I should gaurd my heart, and that your a player you'll break my heart."

"I can't say don't listen to her but have I done something to prove her words to you?"

"No, you have been good to me."

"Don't take everything they say you can prove who I am yourself and if you have doubts about me talk to me ok?"

"Ok, sorry he then came closer and gave me a warm hug."

I don't know why people want to ruin the good thing we have. From now on i listen to my heart and no one else.

He stood infront of me I sat on the bar stool.he leaned over and grabbed my chin and kissed me. For a second we forgot there were other people around ,it felt good.

He makes me happy and I love him, no one will tell me otherwise, he is a good man that's all he has alot of people jealous of him.

"Can we go to your place I don't really like crowds, if you don't mind."

" Sure why not, I am not in the mood either am sure Julian will understand. I'll go tell him and will go stay here.

He left and I sat there finishig my drink , in a few minutes he then came back and we left.

A part of me thought of what Portia said to be true but I can't act on what I've been told but on what I see for myself.

We get to his place he makes us some pop corns and puts on Netflix and we watched a romantic movie, this is just perfect I felt happy and comfortable with him. I can let my guard down when we alone.

We watched for a while I don't know what happened but I think I fell asleep, when I woke up were cuddled up on the couch and I looked at the time it was 2 am in the morning.

I check my phone for messages my granny must be worried, I send her a text that I'll be sleeping over at Terry's house because it's late to come home now.

She responded and and said that next time I should tell her earlier she was worried sick thinking something bad happened to me.

Sammy woke up from his sleep.

"Hey it must be late met me take you home."

"No you don't have to I'll sleep here tonight I already told my grandmother am not coming back tonight. "

"Ok let me get you something to wear and prepare the bed for you I'll take the couch. "

"You don't have to sleep here, I trust you and you have proved your a gentlemen so it's ok will sleep together nothing will happen right?"

"Right, he said as he made his way to the other room." Is it really what I want?For nothing to happen.
