Who says you can't choose your mate

CHAPTER 3

~CHAPTER 3~

     I noticed that the guy named Ashten was wearing a school uniform. The I.D. on his uniform said that he was 16, in 10th grade class A, I’m just very observant as you can tell. He was only a year older than me. He also had on a prefect badge and a crest that I couldn’t make out the words on from such a far angle. It’s wasn’t like I was staring at the guy. I just glanced his way a couple of times I mean who wouldn’t the guy was drop dead hot, I’m just very observant.

  The uniform was a black pants and a white shirt worn with a light purple jacket and a dark purple tie. I suited him. He looked very muscular but I couldn’t tell because of the jacket he wore. His eyes looked my way. Oh great! He saw me! Normally when I guy catches you looking at him he thinks you are weird, if it was one of those conceited guys he thinks that he is the best thing that happened on this earth. It was different this time though the look he gave me scared me so much I didn’t dare look his way again.

      I looked out the window at the wonderful scenery. Oh how I wished I could go site seeing I mean if you are going to move at least try to make the best of it. I still can’t believe that this man is making us meet him right after we come off a plane. I sigh and continue to look at the magnificent scenery. My eyelids started to feel heavy and I started to doze off a little. I force myself to stay awake. Maybe I should have slept more on the plane I thought to myself.

        Just my luck the car stopped. The driver held the door opened, I stepped out outside. I stood there trying to gain my balance while everyone else was getting out the vehicle. Finally I caught my balance, choosing to wear wedges might not have been the best decision I have made all day. We stood in front of a huge building marked ‘KT PRODUCTIONS’ (Knight and Taylor)

The entire building looked like it was made of glass.

        We went up straight to the 4th floor of the 10 story building. We went into a room that was marked ‘CR 2’. There was a huge glass table in the middle of the room with leather black chairs; 1 at the head of the table and 4 at each side there was also a couch against the wall.

My mom sat down in one of the chairs while Mr. Smith crossed the room and pressed a button on a remote leaving me and Ashten standing cool air filled the room as the air conditioner turned on. I started to feel light headed I started swaying and I felt a tight grip around my waist keeping me from falling. The last thing I saw was big brown eyes then everything went black.

  I could hear voices all around me but I couldn’t quite make out who they belonged to. “Honey can you hear me?” a worried voice said. I could tell that it belonged to my mother. I opened my eyes to find everyone looking at me, well everyone except Ashten who was leaning against the wall by the door way. He didn’t look worried at all in fact he looked bored. I mean come on its not everyday a girl you just met faints right in front of you well it seems it didn’t matter to him, so much for being a good host.

   I sat up and looked at my worried mother who looked like SHE was going to pass out any minute. “I’m sorry. I should have eat something on the plane.” I said looking into her hazel eyes. She didn’t say anything but embraced me in a hug that made me dizzy. I hated making her worry not only because I feel guilty but also cause she over reacts.

    Last year in May I was on a date with a really hot guy and I told her I would be back by 9. We went to watch a movie and It finished at around 8:40, so we went to get some pizza. I was having a great time, we were about to leave the pizza shack when I looked at my watch that said it was 9:08. He was about to kiss me when a bunch of cops surrounded us and arrested my date. They drove us to the police station but my date was the only one with handcuffs on, I was scared as hell! It turns out that my mom called and filed me as a missing child and when I went back to school everyone knew about it. The worst part was not only I didn’t get my first kiss but he never spoke to me again.

      I stood up and everyone in the room was watching my every move even ashten but he didn’t look interested. “Maybe you should get something to eat.” My mom said to me. I nodded. My mom turned to Mr. Smith “we’ll be back soon she said to him.”

“I don’t think that is such a good idea. Mr. Taylor isn’t a very patient man.”

“I’ll take her.” I turned around to find that it was Ashten that spoke. “Besides I do know the area better.” He said giving my mother a charming smile. 

    My mom wasn’t the type to get easily fooled by a guy but somehow he managed to do it, what am I saying who wouldn’t be he’s gorgeous. She smiled back at him and said thank you.

He turned towards me but his expression changed it became serious. He gestured for me to go first and without looking back I did.
