The Billionaire's Deal (BWWM)

10.

Song- Make up R City ft. Chloe Angelides

Melissa.
I sat down on the front porch, a glass of wine in my right hand. I don't usually drink, but when I do, it's because I'm tense. And for the past few days it has been nothing but tension. Aaron cries himself to sleep and blames himself for Clara's supposed kidnapping. I feel like my life has been drained from me. I'm worried for Clara and I refuse to believe that she's dead. If she could beat up two of the bullies in our high school, then she could do anything. I personally feel bad for the jackass that kidnapped her.

Suddenly I heard my cellphone ring. I sighed. I was in no mood to receive any calls. I answered it.

"Hello."

"Mel, it's me."

I dropped the wine glass and stood up. Was this a dream? Was God playing games with me? Was it the alcohol talking?

I don't care. I heard Clara's voice.

"Hello?"

"Clara! Girl where are you? You had us all worried sick! " I sobbed.

There was a moment of silence on the other line.

Perhaps I had too much to drink...

'Where's Aaron?"

It's her!

"H-he's out on the streets looking for you. Please come home. Let us forget what happened. All that matters is that you're home. Please." I pleaded.

She sighed

"Okay." she whispered, "I'm on my way home."

With that she ended the call.

Clara's coming home!

Aaron is in for a surprise.
*****************
"Clara!" I squealed, running towards her and tackling her into a hug.

She started to cry. Lord knows what she went through while she was there.

"Mel, did you miss me?" she joked, between sobs.

I scoffed. This girl making jokes now.

"Of course dummy. Aaron missed you the most.

She continued crying.

"Clara are you okay?"

"I'm here now, nothing will go wrong."

Just then Aaron's car pulled into the garage. He stepped out of the car holding some groceries in his hands. He looked so exhausted.

"Mel, baby I'm ho- Clara!"

He dropped the bags in his hands and ran towards her, tackling her in the tightest hug ever.

Aww.

"Aaron, you're, choking, me." she gasped.

I chuckled and just then Aaron started crying. I was shocked, I've never seen him cry. I felt bad, like I did nothing to comfort him. I was an inconsolable mess too, he had to keep his emotions in.

"Where did you go? I was worried sick! The police dropped the case, saying you were dead. But I know you weren't dead." he said, rushing his words.

I shook my head smiling, just then I glanced at Clara's left hand and I saw a ring on her finger.

"What's that on your finger?" I asked.

Clara shot me a quick glare before turning to Aaron.

"Ah- um aringbecauseigotengagedtothemanthatkidnappedme." she said.
