Lana leaned into Sabastain, even though he was showing displeasure from her attention and her rubbing on him.‘’So, Sabastain. Are you taken?’’‘’Pardon?’’Lana giggled and held his upper arm, giving it a squeeze as she felt his strong biceps.‘’Well, I am asking if you have a girlfriend. If not then, maybe we could hook up?’’Sabastian pulled away from Lana with a slight frown.‘’Sorry, but— ‘’Lana laughed as if Sabastian said something funny.‘’You are such a handsome man; I still can’t believe that you are single.’’Sabastian leaned away from her some more then took a sip of his wine.Finally, their food came, and to show Lana that he wasn’t interested, Sabastian began to give Athena his full attention.‘’Athena, what did you get?’’ Sabastian asked, his smooth rich voice caused all the females at the table shiver.Lana bit her lips. ‘’I got scallops, would you like to try?’’‘’Athena?’’ Sabastian asked, leaning closer to her.The intense look in his eyes got her lost in them.‘’Oh
‘’You are so low-key and down to Earth, you of all have a better future than any of us at this school. Shit, you don’t even need to be here. I heard rumors that you took over your father’s company.’’ Everrette said to Sabastian.‘’What? Oh, that. I guess you can look at it that way.’’‘’You don’t seem very excited about it at all.’’‘’The thing is many people expect me to act like all these so-called rich brats. But really they are brought up by people who aren’t used to anything. They basically got luck and came into money.’’‘’I don’t want to be like them, and after getting that new car. I notice those who would mock me are seemingly nicer to me.’’‘’Just ignore them and stay true to who you are.’’ Sabastian told Everrette.Everrette leaned in closer. ‘’I am trying, but it is hard to hide all these things my mom has been gifting me with. I now have a freaking platinum shopper’s card. Can you imagine what will happen if I pull that out not knowing they are there.’’Sabastian laughed.
Everrette woke to see Aaliyah sitting on a chair facing the bed, her long legs were crossed at the knees, and she held a few of his belongings in her hands.At first he didn’t understand the look on her face until he noticed that she went through his bag.‘’What the hell?! Was this why you brought me here? This was your plan all along, fuck me so you can go through my things.’’Aaliyah got up and stood before him.‘’It is not like that, Everrette. I was worried for you. Truly worried, the car and the sudden personality change.’’‘’Bullshit, you used me.’’ Everrette laughed. ‘’I can’t believe I was so stupid.’’‘’Everrette! Honestly, I was just concerned. I don’t want you to be deceived and drawn into the bullshit that goes on in this town. And being friends with Sabastian is one of them.’’‘’Sabastian, he has nothing to do with this.’’Aaliyah shook her head. ‘’You don’t know him like I do. He is a fraud! He will build you up, make you get all this attention and then drop you so hard
‘’Fuck, I shouldn’t have done that,’’ Sabastian said more to himself then stepped back.‘’What?’’‘’Sorry, that kiss shouldn’t have happened.’’‘’But—‘’ Athena stopped herself short.‘’It’s not you Athena…’’ Sabastian began, and she cut him off.‘’Wow, the great it’s not you but me line. Of course.’’‘’No, I just had a… I just can’t do this with you or…’’‘’So, the problem is me then.’’‘’No, I have been hurt in the past by women I thought care about me, and they don’t.’’‘’You mean Aaliyah.’’Sabastian went silent for a while.‘’Do you ever think that you are just going after the wrong ones? Maybe if you tried with someone who is humbler— maybe stop looking for the same person with different faces.’’Sabastian scoffed at her words.‘’What do you know about me Athena?’’Athena shook her head.‘’Exactly, so don’t go all phenomenology on me.’’Taking a step back, Sabastian shook his head. ‘’I am not going to be the person you want me to be Athena.’’‘’No, I’m not who you want to be with
When Sabastian got back to his dorm, his phone immediately rang, and it was his mother.‘’Sabastain, I don’t want to disturb your studies but there is a party tonight and I would like for you to attend. It is a big deal, and there are people for you to meet as well.’’‘’Sure, let me just get ready here and I’ll see you at home.’’When Sabastian got to his parents’ house, the place was already bustling with life.‘’What is this all about?’’ Sabastian asked his mother after greeting her with a kiss on the cheek.She gave him a bright smile.‘’Your dare mother has accomplished something her father couldn’t. I have acquired all the restaurants and all but one shop. It will go to your sister once I do this last buy out. This party is also a business meeting, so if it all goes smoothly, then we will own the entire east of downtown.’’‘Damn!’ Sabastian thought.As if his family wasn’t powerful enough, they just went and gained even more.‘’And the best part, I want you to meet someone.’’Mrs
Molly turned a smug look at Sabastian, but there was a blank expression on his face as if he couldn’t careless about what was happening around him.She hated his indifference, and wished it was him reacting this way instead of Jenna.She even insisted on him coming to see the look on his face when the news drop, but he didn’t give a shit.‘’That’s so amazing,’’ Aaliyah gushed, getting up to hug Molly and get a better look at her ring.‘’Yes, isn’t it. Johnny truly knows how to treat me.’’While everyone gushed, Sabastian got up to go check if Jenna was doing alright.He found her outside yelling in her phone.‘’Why would you even think of marrying that bitch!? How can you be this stupid and selfish? It’s like ever since mom died all you do is make bad decisions and this is the worst thing.’’Not wanting to disturb her, Sabastian turned to go back inside but was stopped by Everrette.He made a motion with his head and Sabastian followed him.‘’So, I guess you know what this plan is fro
Sabastian had agreed to meet with Jenna, he wanted to see how she was and also see if he could get any information out of her about what her father might be planning.When Jenna entered the restaurant, all eyes turned towards her.She was dressed modestly in a peach sun dress and wedged, strappy heels.Her brown hair seemed to have extra curls today and was down to her waist.Sabastain couldn’t help but give her his undivided attention, she was an absolute goddess, and he would be lying if he said that he was not captivated by her beauty at all.Too bad he would never date her, and had his mind set an someone else already.He knew that John Sinclair wanted them to date to use that as some sort of leverage for his plan.‘’Thanks for meeting me,’’ Jenna smiled after getting to the table.Sabastian pulled out a chair for Jenna and she sat with a smile.‘’So, what made you want to meet with me? You sounded very urgent over the phone,’’ Sabastian said.At first it didn’t seem as if Jenna w
“Aaliyah, really. This guy is nothing but a piece of trash. You should let me introduce you to some of Johnny’s friends. That way you and your mom will always be well taken care of.’’Aaliyah rolled her eyes at Molly.‘’Do you want my help or not? Because this was all your idea to get as much as I can out of that loser for your man and family.’’‘’I know, but I hate seeing you with someone like him. And now you have to entire this luxury place with him on your arm. It’s so degrading. Especially with the way he is dressed.’’‘’I am trying to help you, so it’s either this or nothing at all.’’Molly sighed. ‘’Fine.’’After leaving the restroom, the two went back to their table and Molly couldn’t help but frown at Everrette. She even began to glare at him and decided that she didn’t care if she was doing this for John, she wasn’t going to show him any respect at all.Molly’s grip tightened around her fork.She couldn’t wait for her life to improve from this so that she would never see the
