Chapter 1 He is hot

BRIANNA'S POV

"Urgh!!"

"Come on, Brianna," my mum persuaded the more.

"I don't want to go, mum. I can't believe you're making us go all the way to Ohio for a man," I mumbled in frustration.

"Stop being like this, Anna. I told you that there a better schooling opportunities there-"

"But the main reason for this sudden relocation is for your lover. Or am I lying?" I questioned her.

From the look of things, I could tell that she couldn't find a defensive answer.

"Exactly! The fact that you claim you're in love with another man makes me wonder if you ever loved Dad," I muttered.

"Brianna..." She called gently and walked over to me. She placed her hands on my shoulder to calm down, but that did not ease the frustration I was feeling.

"I loved your father with all of my heart and being. I loved him and gave him everything he asked for. Unfortunately, I wasn't enough for him. You of all people are supposed to know that I began questioning life when he left. I thought I would get used to living without him, but I began to get lonely"

"Just lonely? Or lonely and horny?"

"Brianna!!" She slapped my shoulder in a playful caution.

"What? I'm not a baby anymore, you know?"

"Anyway... The point is, I realized I couldn't live by myself anymore. I needed someone to hold and talk to. He's a good man, Anna. Just give him a chance."

"But I don't want to go. I want to remain here in Michigan," I whined.

"I promise you won't regret it, Brianna."

"Fine," I sighed and went to get the rest of my things.

"Do you know that he has a son? He's two years older than you or so, at least you will have someone to bond with," she said as she went to get her things too.

We were soon done packing our boxes onto the bus.

"I'm going to miss this house. So many memories," I said to myself as I stared at the bungalow in nostalgia.

"Come on, hop in," I heard her call from the car.

We soon settled down in the car and began our journey to Ohio.

It was quite a long journey, so I dozed in and out of sleep.

We finally got to Ohio, and they soon entered a sophisticated estate.

Before long, Mum drove into a large compound with a two-story mansion.

"We're here," she announced as she turned off the ignition of the car, and got out.

"Wow! Mum, you didn't tell me this Rodriguez guy is a fucking millionaire!!" I gasped as I jumped out of the car and admired the building.

"What? You thought I'd fall in love with a poor guy? I can't make the same mistake twice," she laughed.

I allowed my eyes to digest as much beauty as they could. The way the house was surrounded with beautiful, different flowers. The water fountain in the middle of the compound and the beautiful, ultra-modern mansion.

I planned not to show any emotions when I got here, but this place was just too beautiful.

"Come on in. He's waiting for us inside," she said and walked into the house.

"I will join you guys soon. You go first," I muttered as I gawked at the house.

"Wow," was all I could mutter, as I walked past the fountain, heading towards the mansion.

I was to enter college to study houses, so I was fascinated by this building. I was so engrossed in the technicalities of the compound, that I didn't notice that I had company.

"Meow!!"

All the hairs in my skin rose, at that sound.

I looked before me, and there it was in front of me - a small cat with black fur and patches of white. It stared at me with the meanest pair of eyes. It glared at me with so much hate, if it was any more dangerous, it would've killed me instantly.

"Meow!!" It cried angrily again, giving me a clear warning that it didn't like me and that I wasn't welcome here at all.

It made its annoying sound again, but this time began prancing towards me.

"No! Go back!!" I frantically warned as I retreated.

Who the hell owned this cat? Did my mum not tell Rodriguez or whatever his name was, that her daughter was allergic to cats?

The cat kept crawling towards me, its eyes on my face. I could almost see a mischievous smirk on its face as it pranced forward.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll do something you and I both will regret!" I warned as I took some more steps back, but it kept closing the gap between us. It seemed as though it knew he owned all the cards in this game, and that I couldn't come close to him.

He screamed very loudly, and my next thought was that it was going to throw itself at me.

Without thinking or looking back, I retreated as fast as I could, forgetting that there was a fountain behind me.

My lower legs hit the fountain and I lost balance and immediately felt myself plunge downward, heading straight into the water.

"Ahhh!" I yelled in panic and fright and alarm, I let go of my bag and began flinging my arms in a bid to gain my stance, desperately trying not to fall into the fountain.

Suddenly, I felt a strong, firm hand hold my waist and another hand under my neck.

I fluttered my eyes open to see that I wasn't in the water. Instead, I was greeted by a pair of deep blue eyes.

I stared into his eyes, and I wished that I could stay in that position forever. I wished I could get lost in his eyes. His strong hands that held me from falling still managed to be as soft and comfortable as a pillow. my eyes traveled down his face, studying his lovely red lips and his perfectly chiseled jawline. It was the first time I saw him, but I felt butterflies in my tummy as I let myself in his arms...

He also stared at me, watching my dreamy hazel eyes go all over his face.

For a moment, I cared about no one else. I had only him in my view.

A naughty thought crossed my mind...

If only he could bring my face a little closer to his and...

"I don't know which I should address first - the fact that you were yelling at my cat, or how you're raping me with your eyes," he mumbled.
