Engaged to Mr popular

"So you guys are going to take me to the city?", Lucy asked to be sure, dressed in pink baggy pyjamas, she pinched herself and gasped out in pain.

"But.. why?",Lucy granny stammered stealing a gaze at the three guests who were currently sitting on the small cushion.just a look at them and you could tell that they are rich and influential people.

"Because that was Ruth's last wish", the elegant looking lady replied and Lucy could only shake her head.

Ruth was Lucy mother.she was from a poor family but somehow she got involved with a second generation heir who dumped her when she was six months pregnant.unable to face her parents, she ran away to a faraway town where she gave birth to Lucy.

She decided to look for a job and finally found one in the city, which was to be a maid in the Lennon's mansion.so she entrusted her daughter to the old granny who was like a mother to her.she started working in the city and she would always visit her daughter twice in a month.

But unfortunately, she pass away last two weeks due to depression, she had a close relationship with Mrs Lennon so while on the sickbed, she asked Mrs Lennon to help her take care of her daughter.

"Initially I agreed because this is Ruth's last wish, but now looking at you Lucy, I feel very eager to adopt you, you're so cute and adorable and besides I won't be the only one at home, now I've got a partner"Mrs Lennon chirped on and on excitedly.

"Since you've said so, I have no choice but I just can't leave her to you either, so I'll inform Ruth's brother but you might have to wait for two days because he comes around every Friday and today is only Wednesday", granny said

"No problem, we'll wait, that's not an issue",Mr Lennon replied.

"Ah, okay", granny laughed awkwardly"Lucy let's go and prepare the spare room for them",she dragged Lucy in.

"Granny, do you know them?", Lucy asked immediately.

"No,I don't, they said they're your mother's employer, but why do I feel like I've seen them before somewhere.ahhh I remember, I've seen that man before,on the television,on the program"president talkshow",.

"Ahahahaha, president my @ss, why would the president appear here, granny be rational that's why I always make sure you take your medicine on time,now you're hallucinating, they're mom's employer not the president", Lucy laughed.

"You.. you little thing, but wait is he the president or not,well forget it", granny pouted and followed Lucy.

Back in the living room.

"Dad, are you for real, staying in this damn forsaken place,I'll rather die", Nathaniel who had been silent all along finally said.

"We'll stay here, and mind you, she'll be your younger sister, okay",Mr Lennon said.

"Yes, your dad is right",Mrs Lennon supported her husband.

"Right", Nathaniel repeated in awe,he was totally surprised.his mother had always supported him no matter what, whether wrong or right but now because of this girl, everything has changed. I'll surely make her pay.

Nathaniel stood up taking a look at the surrounding.

"The whole house isn't even as huge as my bedroom",he scoffed.

He then saw Lucy who was humming to a song as she moped the floor.

"This is such a great chance to make her suffer",he thought and grabbed the cup of water on the table pouring it on the floor silently.

"Hey,How come this place is so slippery,do you want people to fall to their death ,come back here and mop it clean",he ordered haughtily and she immediately walked over.

"What a pushover",he mused, satisfied at himself that she would have to mop the whole place again but he didn't notice the mischievous smirk on her face.

She pretended to mop the floor seriously.

"Am not a pushover", she thought smiling mischievously.

"Here, it's clean now", she patted her sleeves and he smiled arrogantly.

As soon as he moved closer to her,he slipped and fell onto the floor in a sorry state.

"Is,is that all you got", Lucy had a hard time controlling her laughter."hope you're not injured".

"Fvck you",he scrambled to his feet hurriedly but he slipped again."damn you b!tch,am going to kill you".

"Awnn, you look so cute, my camera mustn't miss this",Lucy laughed mockingly before taking his picture.

His clothes, his specially customized clothes were now messy, dirty and wet, even his hair was rough and disheveled, the hairstyle that cost him several minutes to style.

"YOU.ARE.DEAD",he yelled and started chasing her around the room.

When he was unable to catch up to her due to the slippery floor,he started throwing the cushion to trip her but she evaded it all.

The noise attracted the three elders;Mr and Mrs Lennon and Lucy's granny and they all rushed to the room.

Immediately Lucy heard the approaching footsteps, she sat on the floor and dirtied her dress before wailing out loud.

Nathaniel who was a fair distance away from her was shocked at her sudden attitude.

"Is she suffering from a split personality",he was surprised and stood there staring at her in awe as she pretended to be the frail lady in distress.

"What, what have you done Nathaniel"Mrs Lennon cried, pointing at Lennon accusingly and he immediately threw the soft cushion he was holding onto the floor.and his father gazed at him disappointedly.

"This damn girl, she changed so quickly playing the pity card while am the victim here",he cursed silently lost of words as his mother helped her up carefully.he glared at her angrily.

"It,it wasn't his fault, I was careless and didn't mop the floor carefully so we both slipped, it's my fault", she supported him but her expression was clearly saying the opposite.she look as tho she has been bullied badly.

"Bully", Mrs Lennon pointed at him disappointedly.

"She had really forced me to a corner, there's no way I could redeem myself",he thought.

"No mom,he didn't bully me,I was at fault", Lucy cried shaking her head and looking more pitiful completely gaining others sympathy.

"Fvck,when did the mom stuff begin, this girl really knows how to garner sympathy",he was going crazy.

Everybody seems to have believed her except granny who looked at her doubtfully, shaking her head subtly.

"Why are you supporting him, look at you, so generous and kind-hearted, sorry my baby ", Mrs Lennon smiled patting Lucy's hair lovingly as they walked towards the living room.

Lucy looked back to see Nathaniel standing there dumbfounded,she winked at him before giving him the middle finger, mouthing the words"fvck you ".

"Alright, alright, you won for now, the one who laughs last laugh the best, we'll see the winner ",he stomped his feets on the floor angrily as soon as they were all out of sight.

The next day, the news spread that Lucy had a handsome male guest.

Lucy three friends gathered outside the house, they all wanted to see the handsome guy.

"Ever since I've seen his sideview from the window this morning,I haven't been myself,ohhhhh,am in love with him", one of Lucy's friend Ria said dramatically touching her chest.

"Yes, let us see him, bring him out", Mia another said.

"Don't let us die of suspence", Ava the last one said.

"Duhhh,he isn't even that handsome, beauty without brain is useless,I'll rate him ten out of hundred", Lucy rolled her eyes dramatically munching on her grapes with no care in the world.

"No, you're lying about this, you just don't want us to covet him,I clearly saw him this morning,he is just like a prince charming,even Leo cannot hold a candle to him", Ria protests.

"Just a look ".

"Just a look ", they chorused.

"Alright, alright, his looks are just so.so,so don't be annoyed if he isn't as handsome as you thought.

"Who's looks is so.so", Nathaniel scoffed inside the room eavesdropping on their conversation.

He stands before the mirror, styling his hair,he unbottened three buttons on his shirt trying to look as seductive as he could,the sight of his honey tanned skin alone was tempting.satisfied with himself,he sits on the sofa, crossed his legs comfortably and picked up the newspaper on the table, holding a cup of tea in his other hand.

"Ah,how could I forget you",he laughed and brought out his spectacles and wore it smiling at himself.

Lucy opened the door slowly as the girls held their breath.

As soon as they saw the prince charming on the sofa, the girls were stunned, even Lucy couldn't help but staring at him infatuatedly.

"You should really stop drooling",he winked at Lucy who jolted out of her thought and wiped her lips embarrassingly only to find nothing.

"How dare you trick me, you idiot",she rolled her eyes bashfully.

"OMG,is he even human".

"Can I touch him".

"He is definitely a prince charming".

The three girls mumbled infatuatedly and they suddenly jumped on him making him fall on the sofa and he hissed loudly and they immediately got off him.

"Am Ria, this is Ava and this is Mia,we are all Lucy's friend, nice meeting you Mr, you're just so gorgeous".

"Lucy, you sure know how to keep good things to yourself". Ava said

"Sir,let me pour you another cup of tea".

"Sir, let me give you a thorough massage".

"Am best at cooking,let me cook a dish for you"

The three ladies fawned excitedly and Lucy could only shake her head.

"What an embarrassment".

"Goodness,am so done for, these ladies are something else, can't they be ladylike, how do I escape from this now",he thought .

"Hello, hello",he brought out his cellphone feigning a call as he escaped from the ladies clutch and Into the room.

"Is he mad at us?".

"Did we annoy him?".

"Quickly, help us plead with him?".

The three ladies asked.

"Hmmph, do you think you're safe, even if you run to the end of the world,I'll bring you out, you think you're wise"Lucy smiled.

"Of course, follow me, let's go to him".she said and the three ladies followed her to the room,"I'll go in first".

"Alright".

"If you quickly apologize,I'll help you chase them away", Lucy bragged pointing at Nathaniel who was standing by the window side.

"And if I don't",he replied stubbornly.

Hehehe, just take a guess, girls come inside".

"You",he was surprised."I won't be fooled by you up again".he said and immediately he pressed himself on her on the sofa and started kissing her,he turned and made her lay on top of him.

"Uhhhhh, she was lost in his handsome face and couldn't even protest but instead she grabbed him tightly and reciprocate his kisses.

"Two can play the game baby girl",he scoffed

This was the scene the ladies see as soon as they entered,they gasp in surprise, looking at the duo on the sofa in awe.

"OMG", Ria yelled the cup of tea in her hands fell and shattered onto the floor making the duo who were kissing regains their senses.

"OMG", Ria yelled and the cup of tea in her hands fell and shattered onto the floor making the duo who were kissing regains their senses.

"No,no, continue".

"We won't tell anyone".

"Ahhhhhhh", Lucy yelled and immediately got off him."you.. you", she stammered pointing at Nathaniel accusingly, blushing heavily,

"Damn, she tastes so sweet, even her scent is heavenly". Nathaniel was lost in thought staring at her cherry lips and Lucy had to flick his forehead.

"Hey, what's with that look, weren't you jealous that I was too close to your friends, so you followed me here to teach me a lesson and now you're like this.wifey don't be angry, I won't even touch or look at any female again,I'm a yours,my love". Nathaniel said innocently.

It was Lucy's time to be shocked.

"What.. what are you say..".

"Please help me to plead, she's still mad at me", Nathaniel interrupted, facing the three girls who were standing by the door with a lost expression.

"Don't be annoyed, Lucy, it's all our fault, forgive him please ',ria pleaded

"So it's like this, I didn't know you're the dominant type "Ava whispered teasingly.

"Hey,so you guys actually believe him,I don't e..'.

"Calm down, don't be annoyed".mia said.

They actually believe him, hehehe, Nathaniel you're in for trouble ". she thought glaring at Nathaniel who was sitting comfortably on the sofa with a satisfied expression.

Later in the evening, the girls left.

"Lucy,go and get the fruits and vegetables from the store". granny called out.

"Ah, granny my arms and legs are hurting so badly,I was hurt when I fell down yesterday, and now it hurts so badly,ouch". Lucy winced in pain.

"Nevermind baby, you're responsible for showing Nathaniel the way and he'll carry the stuffs, it's all his fault that you're hurt"Mrs Lennon replied and Nathaniel who was sipping on his coffee spat it out immediately.

"Mum, what did you say?".

"You heard your mom clearly,now get up",Mr Lennon said.

"But dad,I have to work on my next piece soon,it's very ur...".

"Will you shut up and stop being a disgrace,art and design, that's just a childish stuff, everybody's studying business and other important courses and yet my own son is such a disgrace,if this continues,I'll surely disown you".Mr Lennon yelled and Nathaniel walked out angrily.

"He seems to be in a bad mood, this is all my fault", Lucy thought as they made their way to the store.

"Hey", she tried to touch him.

"Don't get near me",he cut her off rudely walking ahead of her."which is the way,left or right?".

"Hmmph, weren't you walking ahead of me, you must surely know the way then,go ahead". she scoffed.

"I'll go back then",he turned around.

"Of course, you're free to,you'll surely be chastised again by your father". Lucy stood with arms akimbo, frowning at him.

"As if am afraid of him,am not a puppet,am a human being,he has no right to dictate for me and I have every rights to pursue my dreams",he replied stubbornly.

"It's okay for him to feel that way, afterall you're his only child,his heir",Lucy smiled.

"Who wants to be his heir, anyways you're his daughter now, you can be his heir if you're interested",he patted her head.

"Of course not, my wish is to open the most famous bakery and restaurants but too b..".

"Too bad you can't cook anything properly", Nathaniel laughed interrupting her.

"You",she hit his shoulder."I'll learn if am just a little bit serious,I believe I can do it".

"You can watch online tutorials, go to class, that will surely help". Nathaniel suggested.

"At least, you're not rude and grumpy today",Lucy plucked an apple from the tree on the way

"You're the one who's always boisterous, noisy and violent", Nathaniel followed her as she lead the way.

"Eh, you're clearly the violent one, since the first day we've met, you stared picking on me". she scoffed.

"That's because y..".

"Say no more", Lucy interrupted stuffing the half eaten apple into his mouth."I haven't even taken revenge for what you did th is morning, take this as a prelude".

"You", Nathaniel spat it out immediately."plucking a fruit on just any tree".

"What do you know", she pouted.

Just then a dog passed by, seeing her shivering and holding her breath as the dog passed by,he could figure out that she was scared of dog.

He smirked and brought out a little moulded dog figure.it was given to him by a friend, though it's a moulded figure,it can bark.

Immediately she heard the sound, she was terrified, she quickly latched onto him, hiding behind his back.

"Did you hear that, did you, it's another dog". she said holding his clothes tightly in fear.

"Don't tell me you're scared of dogs"Nathaniel laughed and pushed her away, she fell on her butt and stood up immediately latching onto him again in fear.

"Scaredycat,So Miss fiesty is actually scared of dogs,I'll surely remember this scene for the rest of my life", Nathaniel teased laughing nonstop.

"Uhh, the sound is coming from you", she said listening carefully and Nathaniel stiffened.

"So there's no dog, it's you", she yelled snatching the dog figure from him.
