CHAPTER 4
- Adlemi's PoV
I was sleeping comfortably when all of a sudden, "Wake up, lazy ass!"
I immediately get up & stare at my sister with a mad expression, "Oh gosh! What do you want? Why wake me up so early?" I asked. My sister, more than anybody, knows not to wake me up when I'm sleeping, Nevertheless scream in my ear to get my attention! Unless it's for an emergency, I highly doubt it is.
"Early? Girl, it's 2:20 p.m. You've slept all day. It's time to get up now. Baeza has been looking for you" says Ariana. Once Baeza's name was mentioned, I knew I had to get up.
"Really? Why is he looking for me?" I asked now standing up and going to wash my face in the bathroom.
"I don't know. He didn't tell me...but if I were you, I would hurry up" she says before leaving me alone.
Why would he be looking for me? Random questions came my mind, but I blew them away with the water I splashed on my face.
I changed clothes and I was out in minutes. I grabbed my phone and money. But the thing is, I didn't have Baeza's number...I did know where he lived, all I needed was to get someone to take me...my sister, duh! I could just drive myself, but it wasn't my car and I'm pretty sure Ariana wouldn't let me take it after the fact that I crashed the last car she had.
"Ariana, can you take me to Baeza's house?" she nods, smiling.
"What are we waiting for then? Your Prince Charming is waiting for you!" She laughs and winks at me. I'm pretty sure my cheeks were bright pink. . .

After giving Ariana directions to Baeza's house, in minutes we were in front the hotel he was staying at.
Before getting off, I gave my sister a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
After knocking twice he opens up, revealing himself with his black, 'Cake Bo$$ Mafia' sweater and a pair of black jeans. I guess he had another pair of the sweater he gave me, of course he did, he owns those sweaters.
He looked hot.
If doesn't even have to try to look good. We were matching today because we both had the same sweaters.
"I heard you needed to see me" I start off. He nods and pulls me inside.
"I want to know what you think about this..." he says showing me a beautiful neckless of my name. "It's gorgeous! But...why does it have my name?" I asked just because I was curious on why he would do that.
"You know I have a 'Baeza' neckless...right?" I nod. "Well...I got this one for you" he says, pointing at the neckless that had my name.
"N-" I was about to protest that he didn't have too but he cut me off.
"I want you to have my 'Baeza' neckless and I will keep the one that says 'Adlemi'... " he says. The necklace left me speechless. It was...beautiful.
"You don't have to. It's such a beautiful necklace but I don't really get the point of this" I mean, I don't. Why would he want me to keep his necklace? and why would he send people to make one with my name, it just doesn't make since.
"I don't know."
Ha! He didn't even know himself. "I can't take it."
"Yes you can. Accept it. It's a gift from me to you" he says putting the neckless in my hands.
"Yes, it's soo beautiful but I can't accept it. It must have cost you a lot" I say handing the necklace back to Baeza.
He steps closer and leans down till he can whisper in my ear, "you're beautiful. And don't worry about the money, you deserve that," he points at the necklace and puts it around my neck,"and much more."
