chapter Three

Seven years ago.....

The school bell rang,and I quickly left the lecture hall. College was hard especially for a Nineteen year old who also had a job. I was in my final year studying business management,
it wasn't my dream course but what could I do.
On the bright side it was a Friday, that means no work and no school tomorrow.
I walked into the coffee shop and went straight into the employees room.
"Moore you're late" Mr smith the owner said.
"Am sorry sir... classes you know"I said putting on my apron.
"Get to work"he said
"I went to the cashier's counter all smiles, following orders of course, if it were up to me,I would be home sleeping.

A man walked in, he was wearing a perfectly fitted suit, he seemed like he was in a hurry.
"I'd like to get a cup of coffee"he said impatiently.
"Would like milk or sugar with that"I asked politely.
"Both"he said then took a seat.
I hurried to the kitchen to give them the order,
Soon his piping hot coffee arrived and I went to serve him.

"What's your name"he asked as I dropped his coffee in front of him.
"Eve"
"I'd like to see you again"he smiled.
I tried to hide my blush, damnit I always did this, blush at every compliment, am beautiful I know but come on, act like a queen. Hard to impress.

" I don't know what to say"
"Say you'll see me"
"I'd rather not" I smiled politely
"And why is that" he took another sip.
"I don't know you"
"That's exactly why we will meet again"
"I don't trust you"I said and walked away before he had a chance to say something.
                       &.             &.               &.
It was Saturday morning and I lazily rolled off my bed to go brush my teeth.
I lived alone, well I used to live with my aunt hella but she passed away when I was eighteen.
My parents died in a plane crash when I was still three years old, and my aunt took it on herself to take care of me. I loved her with all my heart, when she died she left me a lot of money, but it wasn't going to last forever, so I decided to get a job and save up to buy my own apartment and Aunt hella's money would be for school and food.
Right now I was living in a rented one bedroom apartment. I was very comfortable with myself, I didn't have much friends but I was okay with that, talking to people drained my energy.
Saturdays were amazing just me, a lot of food and snacks binge watching my favorite movie series, playing Nf out loud, reading novels, then falling asleep. I love my life.

My door bell rang and I frowned, who was stupid enough to interrupt me when I was binge watching how I met your mother.

No one even knows where I live except Lilly and she always called before coming over.

I opened the door and my jaw dropped, it was the guy from yesterday.

"What are you doing here. ..... How did know where I live......oh my goodness, do you want to kidnap me..... I'll scream "
"Will you just listen"he said and I kept quiet.
"I asked around, am here to take you out"he smiled
"You're too old for me"I said
"Am 22 years old"
"And am 15" I lied, I didn't want to go out I was having fun.
"You just turned 19 Eve Moore"he smirked.
"How do you know that"I eyed him suspiciously
"I have sources, so will you go out with me"
"No"I slammed the door and went back to continue watching my movie.
He kept knocking so I went back to the door
"I said No,what do you want this time"
"Your number"
"Why"I crossed my arms
"Let me be straightforward with you I want to get to know you"
I said nothing, just stared at him
I thought about it for a while and decided to give him my number, something told me, he was going to be fun.
