Chapter #9
" I haven't seen Tyler since your engagement...i call him several times, but he is not picking up... Besides, he is not coming Uni also",Peter said as he kept on dialing Tyler number.
"Why we care for him when he never care for us", Rose complained,
" But, still its been two weeks now!", He argued,
'Pete, is right where the hell Tyler go!.. Okay yeah, i said so many things to him...but still his absence worrying me!', Emily thought playing with her ring.
"Rose is right beside he is such a trouble and Rude ass!", Ashley chided,
"Emily, Don't you say anything about it?", Peter asked,
She sighed,
"I think, he moved on... I told him that i don't want any friendship with him... So yeah he get it...but why he is not talking to you... I don't have any problem... If he stays your friend or not"
"He only talk to us because of you...but whatever, finally he left our group... He was being such a pain in ass!", Rose rebuked.
Peter chuckled at her. He turned to Emily who seemed lost,
"Hey, what happen, missing him", he joked,
"Hell No!"
"Then?"
"King wants to take me on a date?",she whispered,
"Wow! So what's the problem Go!", Peter replied happily,
" should I?", she asked worriedly,
"I am sure, he didn't ask you" Ashely stated in a bored tone.
'Damn!'
Rose bursted into laughter at Ashley's comment,
Emily hit her arm.
She stopped laughing and said,
"Sorry, sorry, I can't help it... But Ashley is right..."
Emily cleared her throat, embarrassed,
" I am serious guys"
"So, what do you think?", Peter asked
" This is what you tell me!... If you guys tell me no then i will deny. he can't force me for a date...Right?", she replied,
I think?
" he can... But leave it... If you ask me you should go with him..", Peter said,
" Give me a reason... Why?"
"Because everyone deserve a chance..."
"Pete, is right you should give him a chance... You know i did lots of search of him on internet about dating rumors or any sexual scandal but found none. He is a man of business", Rose said with impressive expressions
"Why you search him?!",Emily and Peter interjected in unison.
She jumped in surprise,
"Calm down guys, I am searching for her only", Rose defended herself,
" Peter's jealousy is understandable but Em, you, Why are you jealous", Rose added,
'She is right why i feel sting?
"No I am not jealous... Why would i be jealous! by the way, what if internet is lying", Emily lied,
"Okay if internet is lying then ask his sister... Tell her Ash, " Rose replied.
"He never dated anyone... Any girl will die just to get one look of interest from him.. But he ignore them like they never exists ", Ashley added shrugging.
Emily looked away, and whispered,
"Honestly guys, Zac told me to go with him... And I also think about it... You guys are right i should go with him"
"That's our girl... Besides, you guys should meet more often" Peter suggested.
"Damn, right Babes, they should be... Besides don't you know what other couples do... They lick each others off thousand times... Even before the engagement... And look at you guys, you are Engaged for God sake!!! and haven't even talk with each other", Rose shrieked,
Lick? Eww
Emily made disgusting face,
" Don't you think, Peter, Her mouth needs filtration!", Emily scolded
"Hell Yeah!"
Rose mimicked him,
"What yeah Huh?! You are saying like I never lic-"
Peter slammed his hand on her mouth to stop her R-rated sentence.
She was still speaking but it cames in muffling,
Emily, Ashley shook their head at her...
The bell rang... They grabbed their bag and made their way back to their respective homes. She spent her spare time with Zac at home, playing video games and talking. He told her how he met Ashley's family... But not got a chance to met King, because Her crew called him... So, they haven't talk much, Ashley told him that they liked him but her father, Leo will only approve when their elder Son would... So, they have to wait for his approval...
And he doesn't say anything yet...
Like seriously, who the hell he thinks of himself... Judge!!
The time flew so fast. She started to getting ready as the clock hits 7. She thought thousand times before choosing an outfit. Finally, ended on short black and green one piece dress, with her usual opened hair and black heels.
Lastly, She apply light makeup And came out of the house, and saw a black BMW with a chauffeur waiting for her. She made her way towards the car.
He greeted her and introduced himself,
"Hello, Madam, Myself Roberto... Don send me to pick you up for the date"
She smiled,
"Hi, Roberto, it's nice to meet you. And please call me Emily"
"I am not allowed to call you by your name, Ma'am"
"But I am allowing you. Please"
He look surprised first but nodded, he opened the door for her, she thanked him and sat inside...
He sat too, and started to drive.
After good amount of time, they arrived. He got out and opened the door for her.
She smiled and got out,
"Thank you for the ride, Dude!"
He smiled back... And nodded,
She watched the white, glossy, luxurious cruise in surprise,
'Wow, it's a yacht date... I never been on a yacht date. Heck! I never been on a date before!!!', She thought as one of his men led her inside. She gasped at the interior, so elite.
He led her upstairs, punched down the code on the screen, and turned the knob, her nervousness bugged in when the door opened. She took a deep breath before entering. Cold misty yet fresh air of ocean welcomed her. She shivered. Her jaw dropped at the blissful view... The sky was velvet cleared, New York building were standing tall, shimiring high... The moon wasn't up yet but the boat was illuminated with decorated yellow small bulbs, she saw a round table of two near the side edge of the yacht covered with rosewood colored table cloth, wine bottle and glasses with plates neatly placed on each side... Enhancing the romantic atmosphere...
Warm pair of hands crept from behind and wrapped around her waist.
"Like it?"
She whipped around startled by his soundless presence.
"Easy Honey...", He whispered at her action, he trailed his eyes up and down to her body, She smoothened down invisible crease from dress with her hand in a nervous manner. Intimidated by his intense gaze.
"You look pretty, Love", He complemeted with his eyes lingering on her silky smooth, slender legs. He looked back in her eyes with huge efforts.
He smirked when he found her checking him out too.
"Take a picture, it will last longer", he teased cockily
she averted her gaze quickly, and said,
"No thanks! I only take picture of pleasant peoples"
He laughed at her comeback,
She watched him in awe,
He look so so handsome while laughing, like a serious Greek God... Just looked at those pearly white teeth, why the hell he didn't laugh or smile much.
"Thats a good one", he said
A smile appeared on her lips too.
He walked towards her, and stood in front of her,
" Emily", he whispered, eyes longing with affection locked with her.
"Yes"
his eyes gleaming in the yellow light, but this was not what amazed her, it was about the warm emotions in them, giving perfect contrast of devotion and fondness.
"Yes", she breathed,
Noone ever say my name with such delight...
"I have something for you"
He pulled out a black square velvet box, opened it and pulled out the silver locket. It was an ancient looking silver round blue glowing stone locket
She gently took it from him and start admiring it,
"It's my mother's... My father gave this to my mother on their wedding day..."
"Wow, but what does it means?", she asked.
" It's mean empowerment and everlasting love... It soothes calmless soul...If you ever scared or alone... Or feel stress... Just open the locket... It has emerald stone inside which naturally glowed bright like magical light... My dad believed in stone-spirituality. So he believed that this magic stone had a power to absorbed stress and apprehension...
"Magnificent... I never heard of something like this before..."
He smiled,
I used to asked my mother, why you wear it twenty-four seven... It is not that much stylish or beautiful... And she said, Everything has beauty but not everyone see it. And I was like, mom is there something wrong with my eyes why can't i see it? And she laughed and said, One day you will Son, when you find your misstress... And when do, then give her this pendant..."
She was sure her heart skipped many beats. She felt all zoo in her stomach
"And I found her... And I found you"
She felt twinges of joy in her heart....
"Do you like it, love?"
"I love it"
His eyes beamed with surprise.
She was about to wore it but stopped when he said,
"Can I ?"
She nodded blushing,
He smiled and took it from her, he leaned closer, her heart beat fast when she felt the cold metal sliding in neck, forgot the metal, his breath was making her tense and nervous, his signature scent making her weak. Her eyes closed on her own.
When he done, he whispered in her ear,
"It's look elegant on you.... Never took this off at any cost..."
The corner of his mouth twitched upward in a sly smile as he studied her reaction...
Her eyes twitched open when she no longer felt his breath. She looked up and found him smirking,
she cleared her throat, embarrassed,
"T-Thanks for the gift..."
" Lets sit", he stated and led her way towards the table.
'What just happened to me, why i keep embarrasing myself! Ahh!! My weird hormones... Now what he will think of me?? Stupid!' she mentally scold herself...
He pulled out a chair for her, she sat down and meekly thanked him. He sat in front of her too.
He was looking handsome too in a casual white t shirt with black pant but kept a formal touch with the grey blazer, and his hair in a man bun.
One of his men came with the menu card,
"Hungry?", King asked,
She nodded, he handed her the menu. She selected her meal which was a cheesy pasta alferado.
He ordered spicy chicken steak.
He poured red wine on each glass.
He was drinking his wine while staring her as she seemed lost in thoughts
" I can pay anything to know what's going on in your beautiful mind", he said,
"Y-Yeah, Can I ask you something?"
"Go Ahead"
"What do you think of Zac?", She asked,
"What do you mean?"
"I mean for a girl" the waiter came with food, and served them. She thanked him, he left.
"For a girl, He is a nice looking guy", he answered shrugging,
"What if 'a girl' is your sister?"
He sighed,
" I haven't talk to him yet, I can't say anything"
She rolled her eyes,
"Really, what are you going to talk?"
"It's none of your concern, Love"
"But-"
"Are we going to talk about your Btother, on our date"
She huffed and got back to eating,
"Love, tell me your about favourite place?"
She frowned,
"Umm, Paris"
"Why Paris?", He asked,
"I never went to Paris. It is the city of Love and who doesn't love Eiffel tower!", Her eyes beamed with excitement."but why are you asking?",
"So, I can take you to your favourite place for our honeymoon"
She choked on her drink, coughed a little,
"Why you are thinking so far... I don't wanna talk about it?" She said in bewilderment,
"This is gonna happen in future so, why not", he answered calmly
" We don't know what will happen in future...", she argued,
"But I am sure about our future... Our future is not that much far, hardly three months, I am doing everything to make it secure..."
"It's not ours", she hissed with tight jaw.
"Yes it is", He challenged with a steely voice.
" Its too early!!", she shrieked in bewilderment
"No it's not"
Her temper sparked,
"Are you controlling me!", she hissed,
He closed his eyes to control his anger and whispered,
" No I am not, Now Sit down, Love and talk. Don't test my Patience "
"I don't want to talk Or listen to you! Understand, stop controlling me I hate control and remember one thing I am not going to marry you!..."
He got up abruptly, chair fell behind him,
She back away, scared.
"Watch your words and your tone",he hissed and stalked towards her.
She flinched and gulped, with shaky legs she stood on the ground, didn't want to show him that she was scared.
He gripped her arm and pulled her to him,
"And about the marriage part, either you want it or not, you are going to marry me... Get this inside your thick skull, beauty", he snarled.
' I will die than marrying him'
"I will never marry you... Monster... You can't force me!", she snapped.
He darkly chuckled, scaring the wits out of her. gripping her chin, he whispered harshly, glaring dagger at her.
"I don't ask, I declare it. Because I am the one who is in charge. I am the dictator. Understand."
Hot Tears mixed with mascara streamed down her face as she glared him through glossy eyes.
'He is the one, everyone were forcing me to gave a chance. Even my own heart was telling me to gave a chance... Why did I listen to them, why did I listen to my heart... Why...? Now, I am more sure, I never heard about this kind of love.... A forced one... It is obsession, infatuation, possession... But I am not going to let him win... I am not going to let him control me!'
"I am a human being, King Vincent, Stop treating me like a pet" she whispered looking dead in his blazing orbs. Something flashed in them more like a guilt, but it was gone as soon as it came.
She caught him by surprise as she pushed him with her full force, he stumbled a little, she ran away from there but to her luck the door was locked.
He felt a stung in his heart by her words...
'Damn it, What did I just said!... I didn't mean those words... It was happened because of my Don personality, her high pitch, defying words didn't sit with me well. The world respect me, obey me and he wants his queen to do the same... She mean to be rule over his heart not over him! '
He walked towards her, she still was jerking the door knob, she kept on banging, yelling, trying to open it but it was locked with the code.
He watched her futile attempts.
he said calmly,
"It's locked, beautiful..."
she was not listening to him, her breath ragged as anxiety kicked in, throat scratched because of yelling, hands red and hurt but she didn't care.
She wanted to got away from him, as fast as possible.
He pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to calm himself,
He didn't want to scare her,
"Love, listen stop it, you are hurting yourself.. I open this for you then, you will leav-", he assured her as he tried to stopped her but she pushed his hand away.
This was enough for him to lost his temper,
he gripped her shoulder and spun her around face him,
"IT'S LOCKED, EMILY!! DON'T YOU SEE IT, STOP HURTING YOURSELF...! GET AWAY FROM THE FUCKING DOOR!!"
He body shook at his bellowed. She felt her heart stopped at his
thunder-like striking. Her movement went dead, she stared him with wide eyes filled with fright.
sh was melting under his fiery glare.
he punched the door behind her, Making her flinched, and in her defense, closed her eyes.
Something fell on the floor, she opened her eyes and gasped to saw a door knob on the floor now.
He saw all colour left her face. His anger disappeared and placed with disappointment for not controlling his anger issue. He gently lift his hand at his frightened beauty who stood there like a statue. As he placed his hand on her cheek, her eyes rolled back into head before she could proceed anything she passed out.
Before her body hit the floor, he caught her and effortlessly lift her in his arm.
He stared her pale yet calm face,
'She pass out of fear'
He sighed,
'So this is how the date goes....', he thought shaking his head and take her back to her home..
