Recap
"Oh, I forgot to say the last person who has no team, since our class is odd, will be paired with Jonathan." With all the teams already being made up, people tried to depart for Jonathan but it was too late Cross already spoke. "Looks Like it will be our very own Ms.Taren is Jonathan's partner. Now with that done Class is Adjourned early go get a head start on my project. The class rushed out the door including the eccentric father, leaving just Jonathan and Diamond.
Present - Jonathan's POV
"Umm well, I guess we are partners now. If you want we could split up the work to make it easier on your busy schedule." I said trying to ease the mood.
"Yeah that would work, but I would still like to get together and make revisions when necessary. How should we go about splitting the work?" Diamond said while gathering her stuff. She seems to be more easy going and less prideful than her father. I wonder how many suitors she has met her father seems anxious in a grandchild. He's most likely looking for a successor doesn't want to leave it to his daughter.
"I could design it and build it since I have the necessary equipment for it. My father would rather have you program it and drive it since that one of the areas he is grading. I have a question. That is if you don't mind?"
"Sure go right ahead," she said. She seems to be thinking of how she is going to program it.
"Why did you pick up this class? You don't seem the type to be interested in this type of stuff." At this point, she began walking and talking explaining how her father forced her to take saying it would be better for his image if his daughter was good at technology.
"How about you meet me at the library to discuss and go over the work. If you're available to?"
"Sure, I'll yo up from your place about 7:00." she waves and leaves with a blush after giving me her address. I couldn't have seen that correctly. I race back to my car to find a group of students admiring my '69 GT500 Mustang. Diamend reached out and touched the car. I walked up and said "It isn't nice to touch people's car without their permission.
"This is your car! Where did you find a '69 GT500 Mustang," she said to my amazement.
"A woman who know their cars. I love that, and if you must know my father had this car since he was young but it broke down 10 years back so I took the body of the car and put it on a 2018 GT500 thus remaking a classic. I just had to keep it in stick shift to keep the classic truly alive. It reaches 238 max speed and goes 0-60 in 3.5 seconds took a long time but it was worth it one of my many projects my father approved of. Want to take it for a spin?" I toss her the keys and walk to the passenger seat. "Are you getting in?" she eagerly got in throwing her stuff to the back and starting the car hearing it roar to life."You sure you can handle it?" With that, she sped out the lot towards her home.
"Thanks for the ride home," She says brushing her hair behind her ear and looks at me with the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. I get lost in her eyes and don't answer. "Earth to Jonathan. Hello? You there?" she says getting close.
"Oh umm sorry, I zoned out. Your eyes were just too beautiful..," I cover my month realizing I was speaking out loud.
"You think my eyes are beautiful. Your the first person to tell me that. Thank you!" She kisses my cheek and runs into the building blushing leaving me bewildered.
Diamond's POV
I run in the building after kissing his cheek. I can't believe I did that my heart is racing. I shouldn't have done that but it felt so right. "Stop Diamond you are moving too fast." I walk into my apartment to be greeted by my mother and father sitting in the living room with Jessie. "Hey, guys. Whats with the meeting?"
"Diamond perfecting timing your suitors is meeting you here to pick you up at 7:00 tonight," My dad said putting his arm around me pulling me close. I could smell his disgusting cologne my mom seems to love. I plug my nose and this action doesn't go unnoticed by him. "Do you not like my new cologne, Ocean's Musk."
"It's musky alright," I mutter under my breath.
"What you did say?"
"It smells powerful"
"Just like me, I have to go. I'm meeting with a boy with a very high clearance level in the CIA and have connections with half the nations in the UN. Do any of you want to tag along?"
"Sure," I said setting down my stuff. Jessie stays behind tried from her long and me and my mother leaves with my dad. My father was the type to have people everywhere and had connections to anyone you could imagine. He loves to flaunt that. The massive influence he has and that he could make anyone do what he wants.
"Let's get going," we all piled up in his 4 seat car and drove to his office building in the next town over. He has it tucked away to draw attention away from the building. As we walk in his secretary greets him informing him that his guest has just arrived. We made our way towards the conference and we see my father's chosen suitor sitting there waiting, Micheal.
"Mr. Taren it's an honor for you to let me sit in on this meeting," he says shaking my father's hand and turning to me and kissing my hand sending a shiver of disgust down my back. We all sat down and waited for the guest to walk in. My eyes widen as I see Jonathan walk in. He has half the nations in the UN in his pocket. Just Who is he?
