"Romanov?!"

Jay shouted as he saw his pursuer. She picked herself up and dusted her clothes all the while laughing hard at his reaction.

"Oh my God, you should have seen your face" she said and immediately proceeded to imitate his look of shock which just made her even cuter than usual, "says the one who looks like a fan art right now" he replied cheekily.

"Meanie" she said as she playfully punched his shoulder while pouting, "by the way, where were you running to so fast?" she said calmly.

"Wait, do you have a secret girlfriend that you don't want any one to know about, do you?" Romanov teased.

He grabbed her by her waist and pulled her close to himself and whispered " Not yet, unless you're volunteering".

He was so close, she could literally feel his heartbeat from her own chest. She blushed hard and teasingly poked his nose "Trust me, I'm not that easy to get".

As soon as the words escaped her mouth, they heard a camera shutter and turned to see the entire football and cheer leading teams watching them with smiles. They quickly separated from themselves and faced each other.

Suddenly Romanov's phone rang and she was clearly scared as she picked the call.
After talking for a while, she cut the call and looked at Jay sadly.

The next words that came out of her mouth were words he would never forget;
"My dad wants to meet you today at three"

"Y-your dad?!" Jay said "I can't meet your dad!". "Why?" Romanov said instantly "why can't you meet him?". Jay looked at her face which was literally begging him to go, that was when he noticed a scar behind her collar.

Seeing this he knew what was going to happen to her if he didn't meet her dad that day.

She would get whipped.

At first i t spread round like a rumor that Monroe actually whipped his daughter but anytime people saw her, it never seemed like she was in pain.

Jay sighed in visible frustration, "see you there" he said with a smile. Her face lit up instantly as he said that, she felt so happy she ran into his arms and wrapped him in a hug that lasted a few second before pulling away.

"Thanks Jay, i'll see you there" Romanov said happily and made for the door of limo which no one had noticed earlier and vanished inside.

She poked her head out of the window to take a look and wave at Jay before the limo pulled away and drove out of sight.

The captain of the football team stepped into Jay's path and said venomously "you better not make her sad, or else I'll make your stay in this school a living nightmare" before walking away with the teams.

"Guess I'm going then" Jay said sadly to himself.

Later that day Jay had made his way to Monroe's mansion and still had thirty minutes to spare. "Should I wait or knock?" he asked  himself, just then he heard the gate open and saw the spotless pavement that lead all the way to the door of the mansion.

The door was opened by a cute maid as soon as he neared it, the walls were lined with pictures of Romanov's predecessors all the way to her father. Monroe, the reserved looking tyrant, his portrait alone struck fear into Jay's heart.

He was led into the dining hall where there were already waiting for him. Romanov was dressed in a pretty diamond studded white gown, while Monroe on the other hand was dressed in a beige colored suit and had his hair brushed back.

"Sit" said the commanding figure sitting at the head of the table. Jay reluctantly obeyed and sat opposite Romanov.

While eating, Jay tried his best not disgrace himself in front of Monroe by doing all he could to observe how they ate and which utensils they used, and when they used them as well.

During the main course, Monroe decided to start up the conversation and asked Jay and heart stopping question, "Young man" he asked "what do you think of my daughter?".

The question caught both Jay and Romanov off guard. Resisting the urge to choke on his food he replied in the most curt manner he could think. "Well, since you asked, I really think she is the prettiest person I have seen in this city, truly she is a fitting resemblance of her father" he started, "a calm and pretty exterior, yet a powerful and commanding presence".

Clearly satisfied by the answer he gave Monroe signalled for the desert to be brought in. No other words were exchanged for the rest of the meal. After the plates were cleared Monroe asked Romanov to excuse them while they had a little chat.

Worried but calm, she left the both men alone in the dining room, then Monroe turned to Jay and asked him "what's your goal with my daughter?" , Jay answered confidently "I'm just her friend from class, nothing more".

Monroe looked him over for some time before speaking, " I have a favor to ask of you". “what the fuck could he of all people need help with” Jay thought, "of course feel free to ask me for anything you need", Monroe sighed and replied quietly "I want you to date my daughter, and protect her for me".

The solemn expression on Monroe's face told Jay that this wasn't a joke or a trick, the worlds second most dangerous man was genuinely asking him for help. "By the way you will be rewarded of course, so don't think too hard" Monroe added quickly.

“this is a direct order from her dad to date her, why should I pass on this chance?” Jay asked himself " but what if she doesn't like me?". "Don't worry about that, she told me earlier that there was someone she liked in your school, and after seeing how excited she was when you were coming, I knew you were the one".

When it was time to go, Jay found himself thinking about what Monroe had said.
“does she really like me?” he thought. Just then Romanovs voice snapped him back into reality, "what're you thinking about?" She said teasingly, "if you're gonna tease me, then be ready for the consequences" he responded with a flirty face.

She was clearly shocked at his statement as her face was already red. He bent over and whispered in her ear "be ready by seven tonight, don't keep me waiting"

She blushed on hearing his instructions and answered "it's a date".
