Meet Me Halfway

Chapter 7 Continuation

Next day…

When I woke up, I just looked into the distance and stood up. After a while, I brushed my teeth and washed my face. After that, I left the room to eat. When I finished eating, I immediately showered and got dressed, and now I'm ready to go in. As soon as I went outside, I was immediately surprised and stunned to see Jarelle waiting outside with his car while I looked at him for a long time and he was slowly approaching me, my heart was beating fast. While I'm looking at him he suddenly spoke to me.

"Hi Alianna good morning" said Jarelle

"oh! hi jarelle good morning"I said

"How's your sleep?"Jarelle asked

"Good,Slept well, how about you? Do you get home safely?"I asked

"Yes,I got home safely"he replied

"By the way here's your umbrella"I said while giving to him the umbrella

"no,that's yours now "he said

"Are you sure?" I asked

"Yes ,I have a lot of umbrella at home so don't worry "he replied and smile to me

"Thank you" I said

"By the way let go to the school together"he said

"Sure let's go we might be late"I said

Jarelle walks closer to the car and opened the door, I took off my bag and got in and closed the door, the car was really cool I can already smell his strong smell of his cologne and it was cold do as I saw him walking over to the front of the car the other side of the car’s door opened and Jarelle got in and pushed down the brakes I was so thrilled, we stared at each other and my heart was beating fast, he looked at me with a smirk on his face.

"Are you ready?" he asked while he grabbed the steering wheel with one hand, I hardly curled my hands to my bag and nodded. I can’t stop smiling- I just can't believe that the car is really handsome as well as the driver is. I wonder if he always drives this handsome McLaren P1. As he stepped on the pedal we started to drive off. I can hear the car vrooming and it sounds cool. I turned my head to the window to see some wonderful views.

"Do you often drive this car?" I asked as I glared back at him and saw his tall nose bridge and his sharp jawline.

"Oh, not really, I only drive this when I am going to school."he said while his gaze was on the road. I raised my brows as I heard it, what? Did I just think that he has a dozen cars? I faced him while I was hugging my bag and said;

"Hold up, so that means you have other cars in your garage? " my head is going to explode if he said yes, well he is the son of the president, maybe his father spoils him with cars.
"Yeah, but most of the cars are owned by my dad. " jarelle said.

I laid back while still hugging my bag. Jarelle is a rich guy. Well, I can’t be that judgemental that he only uses an expensive car to school.

“Why do you ask?” he said in a normal tone of voice.

"I just got curious, that's all." I answered with a small smile on my face.

"Curious about your handsome boyfriend?" teasingly he said to me, I slightly lowered my eyebrows and turned my smiling smile frown.

"There is nothing between us." a normal tone of voice I said as I tried to avoid his eyes.

"Ouch, that hurts Alianna. But I promise you that I will make you mine. " I looked back at him and saw his serious face. We stared at each other as I shifted my eyes on the windshield of the car. No man can make me his own.

"Alianna, look at me." A demanding tone of voice I heard from him, Jarelle is a total jerk. I bet that many girls broke up with him, I ignored his words and took out my phone.
Jarelle looked back at me and noticed that I was ignoring him.

“Look, I know that you focus on school but I’ll wait for you to be mine. Ali I love you.”, My hands start to sweat, my heart starts to pound faster.

“Alianna even if you’ve rejected my love for you I will never give up.” Jarelle reached my hand and pressed his hands against mine.

“You are so hopelessly romantic Jarelle.” I chuckled when I said that to him. Jarelle’s eyes started to widen as he heard me and let out a soft smile.

“Great. I thought that you would be mad at me or something.” He resumed looking me in the eyes.

“Why would I be mad at you?” I simply asked him as I held his hands back, Jarelle didn’t open his mouth and immediately smiled and changed the  topic.

“Anyways, let’s hangout afterschool.”  As we entered the school gate I pulled my hand away from Jarelle’s hands.

“Sure” I said to him as the car parked I opened the door and started to walk away from the car.

“Hey where are you going?”  Jarelle shouted at me as I walked away from him, I turned my head as if I was in a rush.

“I should get going, thanks for the ride.”  I leaped away from him and left him in the car, I can’t just let any man take advantage of me, I said to myself. I can’t believe that he did just all of that. He smiles when I’m around, gift giving, acts of service, words of affirmation, physical touch, quality time. Is he the one?
