Trillion Dollar Baby

BRANDON's POV:

" That's all Cher thank you " I watch my assistant leave my office.

My phone begins to ring as soon as I step out of the office.

" what's up Cam "

" Avalon, tonight "

" I am not going clubbing on a work day "

" Jesus Brandon, what's wrong? Worried your boss will fire you? " I can almost see his smug smile.

" ha ha funny "

" I'm serious, i have the hottest girls meeting us there "

" not interested "

" you're still stuck on red huh? "

" first of all I am not stuck on red, second of all her name is Casey "

" dude you met her like twice "

" and in those two times that I met her she's managed to impress me more than any girl could in LA "

" then let's go clubbing in New York "

" bye Cameron " I ended the call and made my way home.

The car ride there was confusing. I mean I've slept with girls and went on dates even after meeting Casey, but I just can't shake her off.

It is the most annoying feeling ever. Every time I'm with a girl I'd catch myself wishing it was Casey.

Maybe I should just distance myself, no more talking to her when she's around. That'll do the trick.

I hope.

MIA's POV:

We made it back to the hotel and I walked in on Casey watching TV.

" I'm starving aren't you "

" no and why are you wet "  and then I heard her stomach.

" its a long story and whens the last time you ate ? " she goes into thought.

" I don't remember "

" well that's a bad sign "

" just order food "

" I can't " I give her a confused look.

" anything we order outside of what the school provides us gets billed to our accounts, I don't have any money " she continues.

I face palmed.

" ok Casey you've officially been adopted by Malcom Shenai "

" I'm 19 I can't be adopted "

" hypothetically speaking " I roll my eyes.

" Mia I know you won't mind but it doesn't feel right "

" ok think about it this way, anything I buy for you is just me getting the bill this time, one day I'll have no money and you'll get the bill "

" I don't think you will ever be poor, aren't you heiress to both your parents companies and you're going to inherit like a gazillion dollars "

" trillion but that's not the point, I'm trying to help stop rejecting me "

She doesn't answer.

I pick up the phone.

" can I get two rib eye steak sandwiches, two pomegranate chicken salads, two sides of fried pickles and fries oh and two diet cokes thank you "

" Mia that's way too much food for you "
