Chapter 11
***CASSIE POV***
Accepting him was never going to be easy for me. I just looked deep into his face and the edge of his eyes and he was so emotionless that I could not even tell if he loved me or not. I don’t know what to make out of his request. I couldn’t even pick the right words or the right feeling because I don’t know if he was actually saying the truth or he meant everything that he said to me. If he loves me. I’ve never been heartbroken before.
I have never had a boyfriend before and right now I felt like having one, but I have heard of several people who have been heartbroken and people whom their boyfriend has cheated on. I don’t want to fall into the wrong hands. I didn’t want to make my first love experience a bad one because it’s going to hurt me forever. It is going to hurt me all the days of my life and I wouldn’t want that. It was a mistake that I slept with Ace that night at the party.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
I see that everything is beginning to take a new phase and then I wasn’t even sure if I was ready to face it all and for him to say that he loves me and wants me to be his girlfriend is something I cannot fathom. It doesn’t seem as easy as he makes it look.
I wouldn’t mind falling in love right now but how will I be his girlfriend when he is the son of my employer. How will Mrs Sophia take it when she finds out about the news? It’s going to be very bad for her that I’m flirting with her son while I should be working. I kept on battling with different thoughts in my head.
“I can’t be your girlfriend,” I finally said to him after much silence.
“But why not?” he responded, looking surprised. I guess he must have been really surprised to see a girl turn down his request.
“It’s because of your mum,” I said to him looking down.
I took a few minutes to notice the shoes he was wearing, it was an expensive Italian shoe. I have only seen such shoes worn by celebrities and others who were high-profile individuals. The scent of his expensive perfume filled my nose, he had such a nice figure as he stood before me, but one thing I don’t know is if he is genuine with his request of being his girlfriend because most of the guys that he moved around with were known for dating bad dumping girls.
He had a very fine and cute body structure that any girl wouldn’t be able to resist, from his muscular body down to his cute lips. I imagined what it would be to be like to be his girlfriend.
Then my mind went back to thinking of how his mum would feel, she was such a nice person. I don’t even know if I could tell him that his mum is the reason why I couldn’t accept him. I’m not so sure about how I feel towards him or if I could date him, but I was so sure that I don’t know the right answer to give to him.
“See you do not have to worry about my mum,” he replied reassuringly.
“Why not? She’s my employer and I care so much about her,” I replied, not so sure if I could trust his words.
“Your mum is my boss, she is my employer and I wouldn’t want to disappoint her. I promised her that I was going to come here just to work and now you want me to start dating you. What if she finds out that I’m dating her son? How will she feel? I’m sorry but I cannot date you,” I said softly.
“You don’t have to bother about my mum. I like you and that is what is important. Let me worry about my mum. Come let’s go into the room right now,” he held my hand leading me in and I followed him sheepishly.
I couldn’t have control over my own heart, I didn’t know why I was beginning to fall in love with Ace but it was so quick. Why so quick? I was glad that I could fall in love, but the truth is that I didn’t want to have such a feeling for Ace. He isn’t someone to fall in love with. Ace is a fuckboy who is more interested in sleeping with girls rather than falling in love with them. I just wish he won’t break my heart. Right now I feel so helpless to even say that to him.
He led me to the room and left almost immediately.
Then I saw his brother Patrick standing on the doorway.
“Hey bro, what the hell are you doing with this girl? Patrick asked, looking at Ace and then looking back at me.
I stepped out from the room to the doorway where they were standing.
I couldn’t even answer his questions.
“Hey, it’s none of your business I guess you should mind your business,” Ace replied angrily.
I left them there and went back into the room. Leaving the brothers to sort their issues themselves. I stood close to the door so that I could hear their conversation. They were standing a bit far, I put my ear to the door so that I could hear some of their conversation. I heard them arguing about who will date. I heard Ace telling his brother that he is my boyfriend now and then he should keep away from me.
Everything was happening so quickly and I couldn’t even answer for myself. I couldn’t even speak up. I don’t know why I was just so quiet about everything, so helpless so emotionally lost that I cannot even defend myself. I don’t know if this thing I’m feeling is love. I have never fallen in love with anyone before now. Could it be that I am in love with Ace already?
