Chapter 5 An Encounter With My Secret Crush

• Antonio’s POV
• “Baby, how was school?” Mom asked the moment I walked through the door. She was sitting in the living room watching TV.
• “Hi mum, school was boring as always.” I replied and walked up to her and gave her a peck on the cheek.
• “When will you give me a sweet reply on your school activities?” She asked, urging me to sit beside her.
• “Mum, can we drop this talk? I wanna go to my room to freshen up.” I murmured.
• “Why do you keep on diverting the topic all the time? You know I'm your mother so why can't you share how your day went and have fun with me?” She said, sadly.
• I just wish she could stop all these questions already. She sure knows what and how to make me feel bad for her. She's my world and everything and I love her so much. I can’t see her unhappy at all.
• I’m just so tired with today’s activities and all I really need right now is a cold bath and some rest. Maybe I'm gonna come back to myself.
• “I promise when I freshen up I'm gonna tell you everything, okay?” I assured her..
• “Okay baby, I’ll be waiting for you.” She replied.
• “I love you mum.” I said to her and headed for the stairs to my room with my school bag tossed around my left shoulder.
• “I love you more.” She answered, joyously. I always want to see and make her happy, and nothing else.
• I walked into my room and tossed my bag on the bed and began to peel off my clothes one after the other. In no time I was completely unclad and strolled to the bathroom. I turned on the shower, changing the water temperature to cold.
• The cold water came in contact with my body making me feel relieved.
• I came out after some minutes with a towel tied around my waist and one on my shoulder. Let me be brief about myself.
• I’m Antonio Leonardo, a twenty year old handsome, cute and… well, I'm sure you all know the rest. I am the only child of my parents. My father is one of the top five business tycoons in the whole of New York while my mum is a model and business associate in my dad’s largest company, Leonard's Investment. And I, being the one and only heir to the Leonard's Investment Co-operation I didn’t lack anything except for pure and true love.
• I've never felt any slightest feelings towards any girl before instead they are the ones crazy over me. They throw themselves shamelessly at me which I gladly accept but use and dump them, nothing much and nothing less.
• It turned me into a bad boy, even though girls are under my feet, none has ever made my heart beat or anything. They only satisfy me s*xually nothing more or less.
• I don’t even feel anything towards my current girlfriend, Lily. I never noticed her in school but one day I woke up one morning with my head banging and found her on my bed wiping and saying I had my way with her forcefully.
• I’ve never forced myself on any girl or anything in my right state of mind but that day it happened, I attended a friend's birthday party and I had a lot taken. I couldn’t remember how the incident happened which made me lose control over myself that day.
• And not to spoil my father’s prestige I asked her out to keep her from telling anyone I raped her which I still doubt I did. I didn’t ask her out due to love, but she thinks I do love her. That’s her problem to think and not mine. I think that’s okay for now.
• I selected a black T-shirt and a red short to put on before styling my light brown hair with a hair gel and a bit of hair spray to smell nice making me look like a model with sky blue eyes. “This is great!” I said, impressed with myself before heading downstairs to join my mum.
• NIGHT
• Mum and I were having dinner in the dinning when dad’s driver came in through the main entrance with dad’s luggage. He finally remembered home after two days. I thought angrily. It was as if mum knew pain and anger were mixed on my face and placed her hand on mine, rubbing it gently to calm me down. She is the best and will forever be.
• Dad and I were so close before that we shared and did every little thing together but due to his business, he seldom stays with me or has my time these days. Not like I didn’t get love from both my parents, I did but I could hardly get that affection these few days, he hasn’t talked or seen me. Though, I haven’t confronted him yet because I was very angry about his change of attitude.
• After the driver had taken the luggage to their bedroom, he left and dad walked in with two shopping bags in his hand.
• “Good evening honey. How was your journey?” Mum greeted him, leaving her seat to give him a hug.
• “Good evening sugarplum. My journey was a bit boring without you and our son there.” He replied and kissed her on the lips, both forgetting I was there. “Love birds.” I mumbled watching and smiling at how wonderful they looked perfect together.
• When they were done with their little hugs and all that, they pulled away and dad’s glare finally landed on me.
• “I know you are so angry and pissed with me, that I haven’t had time to spend with you, son and I’m sorry about that.” He said giving me a buddy hug which I missed so much and I hugged him back.
• “It's okay dad. I understand, you’re doing it for me and mum.” I said after we pulled away.
• “Yes, son but that doesn’t mean I should neglect my family. How about you and I hang out to make up for those few days we missed together? What’s your call buddy?” He asked.
• “Yeah, it's gonna be great.” I answered.
• “Hold up guys, what about me?” Mum furrowed her brows at both of us.
• Dad and I stare at each other and chuckle, “Honey, it guys hangout not for ladies.” Dad replied amidst laughter.
• “Fine! I’m gonna see a beautiful girl who will hang out with me soon and I'll make sure she's gonna be my future daughter-in-law.” She said, pouting her mouth which made dad and I burst out laughing at her childish behavior.
• “Mom, who says you’re gonna have a daughter-in-law soon?” I asked. I never told her about my relationship with Lily and even if she does know, I’d never wish to make that bitch my true babe. She is so bitchy boasting around the school about me dating her.
• I have always dreamt of a pretty, quiet and loving girl who would make my heart go wide for her love and make my stubborn heart go completely crazy for her. But I still haven't seen or ever felt a thing towards all the girls I've laid on or dated, not even Lily, the bitch I'm currently dating.
• But there's a particular girl in school, every time I see or walk past her, I do feel my heart trying to tell me something.
• The problem is that the girl is always on bad makeover beyond anything making her look really ugly. Sometimes, I wonder what's the need for such makeup just to look ugly. Well, maybe she’s ugly just hiding it from being riddled. But why do I give a f**k about that?
• Dad and I went up to my room and had fun playing video games, and watched a horror movie before taking a stroll around the mansion, to talk about random stuff.
• *****
• NEXT MORNING
• I woke up early and did my usual morning routine for school. Yesterday, dad and I really had lots of fun. It was cool and awesome having him around to spend the rest of the night together.
• I was already dressed up in my school uniform just fixing my shoelace at the edge of my bed when dad appeared at the door.
• “Hey buddy.” He said, resting his shoulder on the doorway.
• “Hi dad.” I returned.
• “Son, I’m so happy we spend enough time together and catch up on lots of things,” He confessed and walked in and sat on the bed before he continued. “I promise, I won’t repeat the mistake of neglecting you or your mother again. I want to spend all the time in the world for my family and not on business all the time. I’ll limit my time for you both.”
• “Thanks dad.” I said and hugged him.
• “No problem.” He replied as we pulled away.
• “Don’t let me keep you waiting for school.”
• "Nah, you’re worth it, dad.” I responded.
• “I know, son.” He replied with a smirk.
• “I'm off, bye” I picked up my bag and hanged on my left shoulder before exiting the room.
• “Have fun, son and also don’t forget to be nice to everyone in school, please?” He shouted loudly.
• Mum and dad knew about me being a bad boy in school especially how I torture other students. I kept saying to myself I'm bad but they kept on saying I ain’t a bad son to them rather a blessing. Who wouldn’t call me a bad boy when I screw bitches who fall flat at me. Not that I’m a freak or anything, nope, I ain’t one but if they offer me their body. I just can't resist and just screw the hell outta them with pleasure but don’t feel a damn thing afterwards with them.
• I walked downstairs and met mum setting the dining table with some maids helping her.
• “Good morning mum.”
• “Good morning, my darling baby boy. I trust you had a wonderful night?” She asked.
• “Not bad.” I answered.
• “Come have breakfast before you go.” She gestured and pulled out a chair.
• “No mum, I’ll skip.” I rushed out the words.
• “But I made…” She was yet to finish when I cut in immediately.
• “Bye mum, love you.” I insisted and rushed out.
• I got to the garage and hopped into my black Honda car before driving off to school.
• ***
• I got to the school and pulled over at my usual parking spot before getting down. Students were already taking pictures of me while some kept shouting and some were literally drooling.
• “Antonio, I love you, my dream guy. Can I have a one night stand, Antonio, that's all I'm asking for. I’ll always love you forever even if you won’t be mine.” They kept screaming out loud with love.
• Just then the bitch, Lily walked towards me with a wild smile that I hate so much but had to manage to tolerate only because I wanna keep my parent’s prestige intact. Ruining their career is never on my agenda.
• “He’s off limits, so don’t piss me off with all your sweet talk towards him.” She roared at them.
• “What’s wrong with her, she isn’t even that pretty and she's all over the world saying he’s her man, mitchewww!!” A skinny girl whispered to her friend, which was to my hearing.
• “You don’t even look anywhere perfect with him one bit.” A guy I know from our class shouted making everyone laugh at her which she really deserved.
• ****
• I was coming back from the garden where I go to clear my head and take some cool air and inhale the sweet fragrance of flowers when someone ran into me.
• Who the f**k had the guts to do that when everyone in this school knows what I can do. I thought.
• It was a female with the looks of her tender body hitting mine but she bent and began to pick up her books that fell off when she bumped into me. Just then the feelings I do feel when I walk past that strange girl with bad makeup notched me and this time it was so strong that I couldn’t explain what it meant. She was the one!
• I found myself giving her a helping hand, picking the books from the floor. What I've never done to anyone before. What’s really happening to me?
• “Why are you so clumsy?” I snarled at her staring deeply at her face making her look up instantly like she didn’t know who she ran into. She didn’t say a word and kept staring back at me before quickly taking her eyes down. Students passing by were already staring at me with amazement, which I don’t know why I haven’t punished her for bumping into me. Instead I told her how she bumped into me again like the other time.
• “This is the second time you bump into me. First in the cafeteria and today again? What do you’ve to say about this?” I asked, still staring at her eyes. The feeling was stronger unlike the first time she bumped me and now staring at her eyes made the feeling over rating.
• “I’m so sorry.” She replied.
• The feeling was so strong that I needed to get away from her now or something else was going to happen.
• “You’re lucky I'm in a good mood if not…” I lied and dropped her books back on the floor and walked away.
• What the hell is this girl doing to me and how did this feeling start anyway? I muttered when I got far away from her and turned back to give her one last gaze. Her body is so curved and perfect but her bad makeup spoiled everything for her. If not I would have fallen…
• Fuck no! What am I saying? This is not you speaking Antonio but your heart. I can’t let my heart control me over that ugly girl. I thought,holding my chest and felt my heart rate beating faster than normal.
