I Won't Fall For You | ✔️

▪︎\\Chapter Twenty Seven

"If anything bad happens, call me okay?" Devin said in a serious tone.

I nodded before offering him a big hug.

Today was Saturday which came by pretty fast and now I'll be heading to Paris...with my arrogant boss.

I packed as he said, four outfits including something for a special occasion. I also packed some necessities which I deemed will come in very handy.

At the moment, Devin was in a mixture of moods because he didn't want anything bad to happen to me.

He was like a overprotective dad which I don't blame him. He said he won't be here for a few days either, wanting to spend some time with his girlfriend.

It was after five and Mordechai said six so I was outside on the front porch waiting. I wore a black skirt with a red blouse and my jacket because the air was quite chilly. I had on my beanie and my hair was loose on my shoulders.

"I'll be fine Dev, well hopefully. I just want to have this experience so I will know what Paris feels like if I don't get to go there ever again. You never know what the future holds," I told him with a small shrug.

"I know. Just call me if things go south. I'll be there before you know it."

I smiled at him. In life it was good to have someone who you can rely on and who will always have your back.

The only thing was that the person can be trusted. We stayed silent for a few more minutes just looking out when two black cars pulled up.

One of the car doors opened and I saw Mordechai waiting in the back. I hugged Devin once more before taking my suitcase and going towards the car.

The trunk opened and after placing my suitcase inside, I entered the car. I closed the door before fiddling with my fingers.

"Morning," I said as I glanced his way but he didn't reply.

Instead he continued strolling through his phone. I groaned inwardly before relaxing in the seat. We haven't even reached a good distance and he was being mean. I hope I don't regret this trip.

The ride was silent and quite boring to be honest so I took out my phone and my earphones before listening to some music. I closed my eyes as I let the melody of these songs consume me.

Half-way through one of my favourite songs my phone started ringing. I looked at the caller and saw that it was Franco. I groaned before declining the call and went back to listening my music.

I was about to close my eyes when I felt a hand touched my arm. I looked at Mordechai and saw that he wanted to say something to me.

I took out my earphones and stopped the music before giving him my attention. I Didn't even thought he noticed me since he refused to answer me this morning.

"Are you guys together?" he asked as he turned his phone off and looked at me.

"Definitely not," I replied, recalling the past events with Franco. I hated him with a passion and I don't want to ever see him again.

"You don't have to lie Vanessa. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with being with someone," he said. I looked at him with a blank face.
