Deadlock

Third Person POV

Rob headed to the fifth floor after he finished talking with the head master of the school. He had to admit that he felt relieved that Emily didn’t want to stay at their classes with them. It would just piss him off. When he arrived at their room, the three of his friends were in buzzing around. When they saw him, they just stopped and eyed him.

“What?!” Rob said as he sat on his chair.

“You’ve never told us about this Rob.” Jake asked with a bit of jealousy in his voice.

“If I did, what could you do about it?” Rob shrugged.

“But you should’ve at least told us Rob.” Nate interrupted.

“As I said, you can’t do anything about it.”

“And who would have thought that the Emily Hayes you’ve bullied is the Emilia Van Tassel that you would marry.” Vaughn stated.

“What about Jane?” Asked Jake.

Rob ignored his question as if he didn’t hear it. What did they expect him to say? He had proposed to Jane thrice and she didn’t even had second thoughts when she rejected him. He couldn’t do anything about that anymore.

End of Third Person POV

I got it. I just thought of a plan that could annoy Rob Van Garrette. And I knew this would work. This would teach him not to annoy me. I dialed Butler Lee’s number during our lunch break. “Ahm hey Butler Lee, I kind of want you to do me a favor.”

“Anything young miss.” The butler answered in the other line.

“I want you to buy a lot of girl stuffs for me. And I mean a lot. I want them really really cute and pink. Got it?”

“Yes young miss. But I don’t get why you need all this.”

“You’ll see later. I want you to bring all of those stuffs here at school later this afternoon.” I told him as I ended the call. 

“Em, are you sure about this?” Asked Nikki.

“Yeah, do you want to come and see?” 

“No thanks.”

I knew this scheme would work. I could only imagine the annoyed face of Rob Van Garrette when I get to execute this perfectly.

♥♥♥

I went to the fifth floor with the butler, straight to Rob Van Garrette’s suite. Behind us were men who were carrying big boxes of cute stuffs I ordered. We were going to invade someone else’s space. That was right. I was going to invade the fifth and the top suite.

I came to his place with the three of them, Rob, Nate and the blonde guy laughing. I was a bit disappointed that Jake wasn’t there but I didn’t want to see him anyway. They all looked at me and I could tell that Rob was just as astounded as the other two.

“What the… why are you here?” Rob yelled.

I smiled at him and gestured something to the men to place my stuffs inside. I turned to face him. “Ahm, I decided to move my stuffs here.” I said mischievously.

“Ahhh absolutely NOT! Move your things back right now.”

“I don’t want to.”

“It’s not that you don’t want to but it’s just that you have to.”

“Why do I have to Rob?”

“Because this isn’t your place.”

“Wait a minute, isn’t this your place?”

“Exactly, so move... now.”

“You can’t make me do that!”

“And why not?”

“Because when my grandfather announced to everybody that you and I are engaged to be married, it’s just the same as announcing that your family’s fortune and mine will become one. And this little suite of yours is just one of your family’s fortunes that you share with me.” I smiled slyly.

Did I do it? I knew he was getting pissed now. This was so much fun. He closed his eyes and breathed heavily. When he opened it, I saw fire in it. Well, I shouldn’t be scared. Butler Lee was behind me and Rob woudn't dare do anything to hurt me. 

“Yeah Butler Lee, you can place my things here. I’ll take care of it later.” I told the butler.

“Listen, you see, there’s a vacant suite at the ground floor, it’d be yours if you want.” Rob coaxed as he tried to keep his voice calm.

“NO! I want it here and if you don’t want me here, you can go take the bottom floor.” I told him stubbornly.

“I don’t move my things for anyone!”

“Oh that’s too bad because I don’t either.”

And then his cold hand just grabbed mine from nowhere. He dragged me inside the elevator and pressed the ground floor button. I saw the fiery Rob Van Garrette beside me. The elevator doors closed leaving all people in Rob's suite.

“Let go of me.” I yelled at him.

“No you’re going with me.”

“Where do you plan on murdering me?” I blurted out of fear. Idiot.

“Where do you want to get killed?” 

“I just want to remind you that there were a lot of people who had seen you with me so if you kill me right now, they’d definitely suspect you.” I reasoned.

“As if I didn’t know that.”

The elevator doors opened, he clutched my hand and he started dragging me again. I was almost running just to keep up with his big steps. Darn, how could be an heiress treated like this. I saw a limousine not far from us and someone opened its doors for us. The jerk stopped in front of it and he almost pushed me inside of the limo. He went inside after me. And there we were alone again.

“What the heck is your problem?” I shouted angrily. “You can’t just drag me anywhere you want.”

“Shut up.”

“Shut up? You don’t tell me to shut up. Just to remind you mister, I’m not the Emily Hayes you once bullied anymore. I’m Emilia Van Tassel and you have to get that into your thick head.”

“You pissed me off so I dragged you here because I want to leave the freaking suite you just destroyed.”

“I didn’t destroy it, I just put some cute stuffs in your not so great place. And anyway, if you want to go home, why can’t you just do it by yourself?”

“You idiot. I’ve never thought I would be given responsibility to take care of such an annoying and dumb girl.” Dumb! I AM NOT DUMB! “I don’t have to explain to you!”

“I HATE YOU!” 

He looked at me and smiled saying, “Thank you.”
