The President's Daughter

Chapter 9

Chapter 9:

"So I guess I'll come by at 5?" Landon and I have decided to hangout tomorrow at the mall. I can't wait to tell Melissa about this. Landon gave me a wink before he leaves. Melissa was back in my room, according to her she was 'dying a slow death in the dining room' which I quite guilty of since I left her there for half an hour.

I walk to my room, Ethan trailing behind me. We haven't spoken too each other, it seems like he's pissed or something.

"So... We finally get to go out tomorrow!" he didn't look at me at all. He just continued walking without looking at me. I stopped walking and I put my hands on my hips.

"What's going on with you?" he opens the door to my room and says something that caught me of guard.

"Why don't you ask you're pretty boyfriend?" I was about to say something but he closed the door on my face. That's odd. I turn around and Melissa was seating on my bed raising an eyebrow.

"Lovers quarrel?" I roll my eyes at her and sat beside her on my bed.

"He started acting like that after

Landon asked me out" her eyes widen and she looked like she was gonna explode.

"Landon asked you out?! Oh my gosh! You are so gonna get into a love triangle!" I playfully hit her arm.

"What?! It's true! Ethan is obviously into to you and Landon asked you out on a date!" Oh I forgot to tell her that she was coming too.

"It's not a date if you're coming" I gave her a smug look, I expected her to be ecstatic but instead she was frowning and looking down on the floor.

"Too bad I cant go" it was my turn to widen my eyes.

"What?! Why not?" she gives me a frown.

"I'm going home tomorrow, school remember?" I then slap my hand on my forehead, of course, school ruins everything.

"Can't you not go for a day?"

"My parents remember?! The only reason why I was allowed to go here is because your dad personally called my house-" ok this I didn't know.

"My dad called your house?" she nods.

"And my parents couldn't say no to the president" I slowly nod. Gosh, maybe I should start having some quality time with my day. He obviously is doing everything he can.

And the thought came in my mind.

I was ready for all these, I was ready to live as the president's daughter. I was ready to forgive everyone.

Melissa waves a hand in front of me, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Earth to Alexa!" she yelled. I glared at her playfully and she gave me back a smirk. A knock interrupted out staring contest, Jeremy's head peaks in and I quickly run to him and gave him a right hug.

"Oh my gosh! I was so worried!" I let go of him and he gave me a guilty look.

"I'm sorry about everything and-" I cut him off.

"It's ok" I have him a reassuring smile but he still had the same expressing. Guilt. I started to worry again, where is this going?

"Uhm... Uncle J, is there anything else you wanted to say? You look uneasy right now" Melissa walks next to me and Jeremy looks at her with the same expression.

You see, Melissa is like family so you can't blame her for her over confidence.

"I-" he pauses for a while and lets out a loud sigh.

"I'm engaged" he studies my expression for a while and I just stare at him blankly. Melissa nudges me with her elbow snapping me out.

"What?!" I finally manage to yell.

"Ok, calm down-" I didn't mean to be rude but, calm down?! Seriously?!

"With whom?!" Melissa spoke up.

Jeremy opens the door revealing someone I never wouldn't thought of to be my uncle's fiancé in a million years.

Irene.

She hops in my room "Me!" She says excitedly. She hugs me tightly, suffocating me.

"Cupcake, she can't breathe" Jeremy pulls her away from me, while I catch my breath.

"You" I manage to choke out.

"Yes!!!" clearly, she's not the type to take a hint. Melissa looks at me, then at Irene then at Jeremy then back at me. She must feel really awkward right now.

"Uhm... Can you leave with my uncle for a second?" Melissa nods and literally had to pull Irene with her. Once I heard the door of my room close I motion him to seat with me on the bed.

"When. We're you gonna tell me about this?" I lazily took a pillow and hugged it.

"I was gonna tell you soon" I nod.

"So... When's the wedding?" I gave him a smile.

"Next month" I squeal excitedly.

"I can't wait!" I attacked him and gave him a best hug, making him fall back to the bed.

I hear him chuckle lightly.

"I'm glad that you're not taking this badly"

"Can I ask you something though?" He nods.

"How do you know that she's the one?" he scratches his hair and looked up thinking about what to answers or my question.

"You... you'll just know. Like when you think of that person more than you should, when you find yourself loving every single thing about him" he chuckles.

"Even when the person is crazy sometimes, you'd learn to ignore it" Ok, the last part was probably about Irene already.

"Why are you asking kiddo?" I shrug

"Just confused" he clenched his jaw. I probably shouldn't have said that.

"Is there a boy?! Is he hurting you?!" he stands up and I manage to pull him back to seat beside me again.

Gosh, I swear I'll die alone having an uncle like Jeremy. I'm not saying that Jeremy was a bad person. It's just that he's overly protective.

"No!" I laugh at his reaction and a pang of thought hits me.

'When you think of that person more than you should' somehow, I have a feeling that.... erase that thought Alexa!

"Are you ok? You seem dazed" Jeremy looks at me worriedly. Oh, I blacked out again.

"I gotta go" Jeremy stands up and kisses me on my cheek. I walk him at the door, somehow Jeremy's word was glued to my brain. When Jeremy opened the door, the first person I saw was none other than.

Ethan.

In that moment, the world paused. Well not literally, but I found myself looking directly at Ethan and him doing the same thing. What is going on?!

Jeremy coughs and looks at both Ethan and I. He raises his eyebrow then nod, as if he understood something I didn't even know the answer to.

Jeremy pats Ethan's back "make sure she doesn't get hurt" Ethan nods at Jeremy. I was quite disappointed that our eye contact was broken but why? Why am I feeling like this?!

Jeremy walks away and I see Melissa head towards me. Irene runs to Jeremy and on the side of my eye, i saw Irene wrapping her arms around his neck. Ive always wanted to know how it would feel like to that with someone you love.

I got inside the room with my best friend, I lay on my bed and thought of the same thing over and over again.

When I think of someone more than I should....

Why do I feel like I already am?
