His Lovely Little Flower

Chapter 20

Alia's POV

"So are you going to the dance?" My friend Jess asked me. I snapped my attention to her.

"What?"

"You know Prom? The one night you get to feel like a princess. Hasn't Nate asked you yet?" I crinkled my forehead. Jess noticed. "What trouble in paradise." I smiled softly.

"No of course not. I'll have to ask Nate if he wants to go though..."

"Whoa Alia you have this all wrong he is supposed to ask you out." I looked around. It was Wednesday. Nate had not been at school all week. I purses my lips. I hoped he wasn't mad at me...I picked up my phone from my lap.

A: Hey, um you're not mad at me are you? I hope I didn't do anything wrong...its just you have been gone all week and I haven't heard from you since Sunday...are...we okay?

I sent it and it was seconds before his reply came.

N: Call me.

The bell rang. I looked from the phone to where my next class was. I bit my lip and slipped my phone into my pocket. About a minute later my phone buzzed. The teacher was out of the room so I took the time to look at the message.

N: Alia Mayfair get the bathroom pass and call me right now and just maybe I will show you mercy.

My hand shot up the moment Ms. Carol came in.

"Ms. Carol I need to go to the bathroom right now it's and emergency."

"Oh go ahead Alia." I hopped off the lab stool and headed for the bathroom when I got into the stall I dialed his number imediatly. He picked up not a second later.

"Why didn't you call me when I told you to the first time." He said very angry.

"I-I-I'm sorry Nate-" I heard him pull in a huge breath of air.

"What did you say?" He spat through the phone. I shook seeing how angry he was.

"I said I'm sorry sir." I replied with a shaky voice.

"The only thing saving you from a good smack is you're too far away. Now back to my original question why did you not call me when I told you to the first time?"

"I was going to be late to class."

"I don't care Alia I always come first. Do you understand? I am your dominant. My orders come before school, come before friends and family. My orders come above everything do you understand?"

"Yes sir."

"Good then this will never happen again. Up until this point now I was not mad at you. My San Degio club had a water leak and is flooding so I'm here trying to clean it up. I didn't take you with me because I don't think your parents are too keen on having you near me for over night so I left you there."

"Oh okay I'm sorry. Hey Nate?" There was silence for a moment before he answered.

"Yes?"

"Um I was wondering if you were planning on maybe going to the dance?" On the other side of the phone he laughed.

"You're funny baby no I hate those things. They are loud and ridiculous."

"But Nate I-"

"I said not now! This is my club and you don't take action until I say otherwise!"

"I need to go Alia I will call you later tonight. Do not contact me again."

"Nate I-" The line died and I let out a sigh. I went back to class and I waited and waited. I waited through the last period thinking if he would only call I would answer even if I was in class. I waited when I got home. I tried doing my homework but all I could think about was him eventually giving up I set my phone on the bed stared at it. I waited more and more until finally the screen lit up I didn't even wait for it to ring before answering it.
