Dominating Hearts

Chapter 7

Everybody held their breath as I gave them my answer.

"No."

Everybody gasped simultaneously. But not Alex.

He stood there, with a blank expression as if he had been expecting this all along.

But I saw it. He was struggling to keep his emotions in one place.

His eyes were wider than usual and his bottom lip was quivering. Was he about to cry now?

I realised later it was all shock. He was just as surprised as the others. Maybe a little more.

Figures, as I've never heard someone has ever rejected him. But oh, oh honey, I warned you. I ain't like the others.

Well, I hope you stay like that, a voice whispered in the back of my mind.

Well of course I would, I whispered back.

We'll see.

I swear I'm not crazy. Maybe...just a little bit.

"Wh-what do you mean? No?" Alex cleared his throat.

I smirked at him, "Now, now Alex don't tell me you don't know the meaning of No. Surely you aren't that dumb?"

Whatever, I knew I was being a little harsh, but that's what Alex was like.

Once the girls he'd slept with tried to contact him at school, he would humiliate them like there's no tomorrow.

"What are you doing?", he hissed through clenched teeth, speaking softly so only I could hear him.

"Why, Mr. Player, you've go to try a little harder than just playing the guitar for me and wooing me with some meaningless words."
Saying so I turned on my heal and marched away into the school, as every body gawked as I passed by.

Amateurs.

------------------------------

"Babe, please?"

"No.", I smirked.

"What are you playing at, Madison?", Alex grunted through clenched teeth.

Ignoring him, I continued to pull out books from my locker, that I'd be needing for my next class.

"Madison!", he whined.

I stifled a laugh. This was all very funny. The biggest player around was practically begging me to date him. Hmm, wouldn't wanna miss out the opportunity to get him embarrassed, now would we?

"Yes?", I asked him, cocking an eyebrow.

"What the hell are you playing at? We made an agreement. Do you or do you not want to play this game? Cause I'm getting agitated by your tactics. It's making me look like a fool."

I hmmed.

"Well? It's been 4 days since I last proposed you. Since then I've been trying? What else do you want?", he groaned.

I smirked to myself.
Alex was right. Since the day I had rejected him in the parking lot, Alex had been desperately trying to get me to date him.

Day one, chocolates and a huge teddy bear was delivered to my Math class. How cliche. Mr. Garner was not impressed.

Day two, he followed my around the whole day, trying picking up lines on.

I snorted. Like that would get me to date him.

Day three, he somehow managed to get some really expensive food for me during lunch time. I didn't eat.

Day four, aka today, he has been roaming around all day, whining in my ear. Damn, he's annoying.

"Ok, fine."

"You'd date me, now?", Alex looked relived.

"Nope. You've got to do some work before that."

"What now?", he looked annoyed.

"Get down on one knee and propose me."

"You're kidding, right?", he said," I'm not going to that. I don't get down on my knees to beg for a girl, it's the other way round."

"Fine then, leave it. Go."

Alex groaned. "You're going to be the death of me."

Getting down on one knee, Alex looked into my eyes and smirked.

A crowd formed around us, as they gawked at the sight before them.

A few of them pulled out their phones and started to cover a video of the scene,

Seriously though, how cliche can highschool be?

"Madison Parker, you are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I love it that you're not like the others, you're different, unique and not afraid to show it. Will you be my girlfriend?", Alex recited as he stared into my eyes, "After all, what's a King without a Queen?"

All around the girls cooed at his words, as I stood there, absorbing the words he'd just thrown at me.

"Would you be the Queen to my King?", he asked.

"Yes.", I breathed.

He stood up, beaming at me, and enveloped me intolerant bear hug.

"Hope you liked the show, babe", he whispered in my ear.

Ugh, this boy. Why does he make you feel so special?

He's really good at this. But remember, I'm not less.
