The Billion Dollar Deal

Chapter 11

Cassia's POV:

I wake up in a pool of sweat and turn my head to check the time.

3:45am

It takes me a minute or so to realize its not real anymore. She can't hurt me and it was just a nightmare. I try to close my eyes and force myself back to sleep but it's useless. Instead I decide to get up and explore to get my mind off of things. I hadn't realized that since I've been here the past few days I never really looked around this enormous penthouse. I slip on the silk robe over my tank top and shorts so that the cold air doesn't affect me too much. I open the door and look down the hallway in both directions. I go to the left first and see that it leads to two doors I open the first and see that it's just and empty room and a huge one at that. The next door I try to open but it's locked so I turn around and head the other way still wondering what's behind that locked door.

I walk past a few other doors and find my way into what seems like a lounge area. I walk to some double doors and find they they lead to a balcony. I step out onto it and I catch my breathe, the night sky is beautiful and it's so peaceful outside that you can tell the town is sleeping. I see a lounge chair and take a seat reminiscing about the past three days including the night Kyle and I went on our date.

Flashback:

"You dance beautifully"

"Kyle...I don't understand..."

"Don't understand what?"

"You...like why are you doing this, you don't even know me..."

"That's exactly why though, I want to know you. Look I know I acted like a complete fool and I treated you as if you didn't matter but that was a mistake and I swear to you it will never happen again, I regret it more than you'll ever know. So please forgive me, let me prove to you that I'm not as horrible as I seem.

I stare at him for awhile not knowing what to say but feeling and intense pull towards him. I can't understand how I can feel this way towards him, this guy who two days ago both humiliated me and saved all in the same day. That's when it clicked yes he did a bad thing but he did an even more wonderful thing after. He saved my life and for that I am grateful and the least I could do is give him a chance.

"Alright, but I have one condition."

"Anything."

"I pick the next thing we do, this is way too extravagant! I say with a laugh and he smiles too.

"Deal."

End of flashback

The next day it was my choice what we got to do and I decided we should stay in and watch movies since it was storming outside. Oddly enough storms bring me a sense of calm I can't explain, but it relaxes me.

We saw some of my favorite movies from when I was little, like Alice in Wonderland, Land Before Time, and Beauty and the Beast. Lastly I picked one of my all time favorite old movies called Overboard! It was absolutely hilarious, crazy, and sweet. Before I knew it I started to dose off and the next thing I know is I woke up back in my room the next morning.

That brings us to earlier today where Kyle told me I could do whatever I want he had something he needed to take care of and so I went to the park with my little butterfly and then lunch with Aunt Millie. I got back around six and just took out my copy of Maximum Ride to pass the time. I guess I dosed off at some point because when I looked at the clock it was eleven past twelve and I was cozily in my bed. I closed my eyes and then woke up petrified just a while ago. Distracted by my own thoughts I didn't hear when the doors opened and some on stepped out.

"So are cold early morning awakenings on a balcony a common thing for you."

"Cheese and crackers Kyle! Make a noise would you, I almost died right now."

"Alright next time I'll sound a bullhorn. So what are you doing out here it's almost five in the morning."

"I hadn't realize I'd been out here that long I... I just couldn't sleep that's all."

He looks at me with a curious expression on his face as if to figure out what could be keeping me

up. I look up at him and then it occurs to me that he is also up quite early.

"How about you, are early morning balconies your thing?" I ask him with a giggle. He chuckles and then does something I didn't expect.

"I guess you could say I couldn't sleep either, seems I've got a lot on mind lately."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"...You know what, I actually wouldn't mind..."
