A Deal With The Millionaire

Chapter 78

” Should we start dating then?” He asked and she raised her brows. ” Please ” He pleaded hopefully. ” I really love you so much and I don’t want anything to ever come in between us.. so please, let’s date ” He said and that placed a smile on her lips as her cheeks reddened.

She looked away and placed her drink on her lips and sipped a bit to calm herself down. She dropped the cup and looked up at Shane. She nodded slowly.

” Yes, I will be your girlfriend ” She responded and Shane’s lips formed into a smile. He smiled so widely that he was suddenly shy. He also took a sip of his drink to calm himself down. He was suddenly so excited.

” So.. we are dating now? ” Shane asked and she nodded. ” I missed you ” He suddenly said and she raised her head up abruptly. ” I really missed you. The few days we were apart, I almost couldn’t survive it. Thanks for coming back to me ” He said seriously.

” I’m sorry ” Layla muttered guiltily, giving a sad face. ” Come on.. stop giving that face ” Shane said more like a plead. ” I’m sorry, I just couldn’t help it ” She muttered sadly.

Shane got up from his seat and walked over to her. He pulled her up and straight into his arms, he hugged her tightly inhaling her scent he had missed so deeply.

It was the same with Layla as she inhaled his sweet cologne she had missed so much.

The broke the hug and stared at themselves affectionately, and the next thing they did,, they went for each other’s lips.

** Bryan’s Apartment **

” So, you are not mad at me anymore? ” Bryan asked Mirah who laid peacefully on his laps. ” Yeah whatever. I still can’t believe you wouldn’t kiss me cause you were so busy ” She muttered and Bryan chuckled.

” I’m sorry.. ” He muttered and Mirah chuckled.

” So, about us.. ” He started and she raised her head abruptly. ” What? ” She asked at once and he let out a chuckle.

” Why are you so eager to hear what I’m about to say? ” Bryan asked with a chuckle. ” We’re not breaking up right? ” She asked at once and Bryan raised his brows slightly.

” Come on, why would you think of that? ” He asked and she smiled lightly. ” I’m glad it’s not that. So what were you saying? ” She asked and Bryan shook his head at her attitude.

” So.. Do you want us to get married soon? ” He suddenly asked and that took Mirah as a shock as she suddenly went mute and numb without saying a word.

” Mirah… ” Bryan called but she gave no reply again.

” Mirah! ” He tapped her slowly and she jerked back to consciousness. ” You don’t want us to get married? ” He asked, she raised her brows slightly.

” Isn’t that a bit early? I mean we just started dating. It’s only been 2 years.. ” She muttered.

” Dude, I’m 25 already.. I’m getting older as the day breaks… ” He said but she let out a scoff.

” You’re only 25, stop it ” She muttered. ” My mom wants to see you ” He finally broke the yoke and she turned to him with a suprised look. ” Really? ” She asked in suprise and he nodded.

” Yeah ” He muttered. ” But.. isn’t that.. did you tell her about me? ” She rushed at once. He let out a silent sigh.

” Come on, don’t be scared. My mom loves you ” He muttered and she raised her brows. ” Really? ” She asked and he nodded. ” I hope ” She muttered and Bryan pulled her to himself. He pecked her lips.

” I promise.. I promise she’s gonna love you ” He assured and she smiled before kissing him deeply and he reciprocated.

** Brown’s Apartment **

” Wow.. you came today ” Mrs Brown gushed immediately Mirah stepped in with lots of bags. She rushed to her and helped her with the bags. ” Morning mom ” Mirah said with a big smile and Mrs Brown smiled happily.

” Gosh. I missed you. I can’t believe it’s been almost 2 years since I saw you and Layla last ” Mrs Brown ( Layla’s mom ) gushed and pulled Mirah into her arms warmly. Mirah smiled and also hugged her bag. ” I missed you too mom. And we’re sorry too for not visiting. We’ve been really busy with school and work ” She muttered, hugging her more tightly.

Mrs Brown broke the hug and poked her cheeks slightly. ” Gosh, you look so fat and pretty now. Your boyfriend must be really taking care of you ” Mrs Brown teased and Mirah chuckled.

Mrs Brown’s eyes widened. ” Wait, does that mean I’m right? You have a boyfriend? ” She asked surprisingly and excitedly. Mirah nodded. ” Wow ” Mrs Brown exclaimed.

” Sit down then. We need to talk ” She said hurriedly as she pulled Mirah together with her to a couch. They both sat down.

Mirah raised her brows as they both sat down and Mrs Brown faced her. ” It seems like what you want to tell me is really important for you to be in such a hurry and why didn’t you include Layla? ” Mirah asked.

Mrs Brown smiled. ” You know you two are gonna be done with your schooling soon. Just 2 more years to go? ” Mrs Brown asked rhetorically but Mirah nodded anyways. ” And.. you two got a work already. You two are working in two of the best companies in America… That’s a blessing ” Mrs Brown said and Mirah nodded supportively.

” And you.. you got a boyfriend already? ” She asked rhetorically and Mirah nodded again.

” But Layla… I’m damn sure she’s still as single as ever. Cone on.. she’s 20 already and she never got a first love and if things go on this way, I don’t think she’s ever going to get married.. ” Mrs Brown said and Mirah chuckled making her raise her brows.

” What? ” She asked questioningly. ” Layla actually had a boyfriend ” She said and Mrs Brown’s eyes widened. ” Really? Or you’re playing with me? ” She asked as she changed her expression to a stern one.

Mirah chuckled. ” No, I’m not.. She actually has a boyfriend. It’s been 2 years already ” She said shocking Mirah the more. ” Really? Who’s he? ” Mrs Brown asked excitedly.

” He’s her boss at work. Trust me he’s really handsome and nice and.. ” Mirah stopped when she noticed Mrs Brown’s look. ” What? ” She had to ask.

” Her boss at work? ” Mrs Brown asked to be sure and she nodded. ” Gosh, I can’t believe this… ” She muttered, her expression suddenly changing.

” Mom, is there a problem? ” Mirah asked. ” He’s not one rich dude right? He’s not rich right? He’s just a normal or someone from an average family right? ” She asked at once and Mirah was forced to nod.

” Yes ” She lied and Mrs Brown sighed in relief. ” Tell Layla I’m visiting you two tomorrow at you apartment. I need to see who her boyfriend is ” Mrs Brown said and stood up at once before making her way out of Mirah’s view.

” What’s going on? She doesn’t want a rich guy for Layla? ” Mirah thought as she carried the bags full of foodstuffs she had brought for them. She took them to the kitchen before heading out of the Brown’s Apartment.

** The Girl’s Apartment **

” She said that? ” Layla asked surprisingly and Mirah nodded. ” Yeah, that was exactly what her words meant ” Mirah said and Layla groaned inwardly.

” Gosh,, so definitely if she’s aware that my boyfriend is one fvcking millionaire.. she wouldn’t be in acceptance of him? ” Layla asked Mirah.

” I don’t really know, but with the way she acted yesterday.. yeah. I don’t think she would accept him ” Mirah said truthfully an Layla sighed frustratedly.

” But why.. ” Mirah asked. ” They had never liked rich people right from the start. Even when I was a kid.. mom wouldn’t want me to mix with the rich kids in my school. She would say they’re always proud and acts like they own the world and they could get one into trouble and one could have no say before them. Things go their way. She had always said that ” Layla muttered.

” So what would you do? ” Mirah asked but Layla let out a sigh. ” I don’t know. I should talk to Shane about it first ” She muttered and Mirah nodded.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

” But you would have to tell your parents the truth. Maybe we could find a way or they could agree if they see that Shane has a good heart ” Mirah said but Layla shook her head.

” No, I know my parents, especially dad. They wouldn’t agree. Gosh, why didn’t I think about this before. I could have told them beforehand, maybe thing could have been settled by now. But now… I can’t let go of Shane even if they want. It’s been 2 years already ” She muttered.
