The Deal Between Us

Chapter 1 : First Encounter

This is my last night in Beijing, China.

The day after at 11 am will be my flight to USA. My dad prepared an apartment for me to stay there. Being the only child, he knows that I'm not used to sharing rooms and things. Besides my family has good amount of wealth, so it wasn’t such a big deal.

I got ready in time and started for the airport at 8 am. My eyes were full of tears and so was my parents and friends.........

...****************...

It's my first day of that university I dreamt all through my life, HARVARD UNIVERSITY. From my childhood I dreamt to study Engineering here in Harvard as soon as I finish school. So I had to work my *** off and although I'm currently not enrolled in the exact Engineering department but in Biochemistry, but I'm still satisfied with it. At least I got a chance, duh!

So many beautiful sights to see all at once, confusing me where to look first. Never thought I'd be in such a huge dilemma someday. I couldn’t take my eyes off as I slowly went through the gate and started to look all around.......

Okay let's get straight to the point, shall we?

As I was walking around like a dumbstruck newbie, my eyes got stuck at one place on my left; a group of boys, no sorry guys in particular, playing basketball. Though I've little to no idea about this basketball thing, but my instincts say they're more like pros. My eyes again got stuck like a spell has been cast on them. All I was seeing was their good physic and every aura and energy surrounding them, mesmerised each and everytime someone too handsome to look at jumped and threw a ball. I only watched football or cricket and that was with my dad but I gotta say basketball is awesome as well! All of a sudden a basketball came swiftly rolling to my right feet, hitting softly. I was too enchanted by those guys that I didn’t even realised it was there until I heard someone called me from behind.

"Hey!"

I bent down angrily, realising a second later that it was my first day here in this glorious campus and tried not to create a bad impression for affecting my low-key fan-girling trait which I didn’t know existed. Slowly I turn around, shocked to hear his stunning voice in the midst. Seems like I've this thing for rich, deep voices. But no sooner had I turned to my right, I felt like....I was going through an thorough X-ray vision and the scanner is his deep blue eyes. The lighest shade of blue I've ever seen, paired with dark blonde eyebrows, sharp nose but oval chin; soft, plump lips in between. The lighting in this indoor sports room made him look rose gold, all flushed for continuing this tedious game for hours... maybe. I tried my best to control my eyes that got widened by seeing his striking charm. Hell now I genuinely look like a fan-girl, probably one of his groupies.

I again got back to reality when I again heard him saying, " Hey, you girl, pass the ball to me."

"H-huh...?"

Can it get any worse? Look how I'm stuttering. Cons of being single for long 20 years of life.

I still remember, one day during lunch break, me and one of my friend, Natalie promised to one another, that we're gonna preserve ourself to that someone special. So from that point onwards, no boy caught my attention, not that I was interesting enough since I was used that introverted extravert, sounds complicated I know. But my steadily increasing heartbeat is telling me that this guy, standing right in front of me is gonna wreck my promise.

Still getting no response from me, he starts to approach towards me, slowly with caution; as if he's the predator and he doesn’t wanna scare off his prey which is me when he finally claw his SHARP nails in my heart. With the corner of my eyes I saw many burning eyes were staring at me. Realizing the reality, my heart started racing like never ever before. He stood in an arms length from me, making me look up as he's too tall. He's so tall and handsome as hell, he's so bad but he does it too good...

"Are you deaf or something? Didn't u heard I asked you to pass me the ball?" his voice immediately turned off my inner Taylor Swift in an instance. Guess not everything that shines aren't really gold.

I just threw it to him and ran in my highest speed. Well that was way too close

 

......................

After a while I somehow found my class and it began. I quickly took my seat. I started to find him here and there but I failed. Soon I found out that every girl were gossiping about me. "Guess I became their centre of attention. Pretty cool, I like it." As everyone was jealous of me so none of them willingly came to be my friend except one girl. She took a seat beside me and started gossiping just like a known one. Her name was Vivian.

Because of her friendliness, I courageously asked out of curiosity, "Who was that guy?"

The whole room became pin drop silent and they all stared at me like I'm a criminal.

Vivian shut her eyes to them. Instead she asked, "The one that approached you?"

With embarrassment I replied, "Yeah."

"Oh, he's Geoffrey Edward, the hunk no.1 of Harvard University. He has got intelligence along with both power & riches. Every girl wants a one night stand with him or be his lover. But neither that he touched them nor that he pays any heed to the piles of love letters that he gets every single day. The one that tried to reach him, had to hear a bunch of ironies. He never cared for the feelings of any girls. Cuz he thinks that none of them are his match. Even though he's hot, but he's so damn cold. God knows what his heart is made of."

"Now I understand why everyone at that moment was glancing at me with jealousy."

With more courage, I again asked her, "What's his department?"

"He studies astronomy."

"That's why I didn't find him here."

"Such an expensive topic to study."

"He's a billionaire don’t you know it? He's dad gave him more than half of his properties."

We both kept silent for a minute.

She again started, "One thing to tell to, I think he's interested in you."

I became startled, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Listen to me first. After you ran away, while he was spinning that basketball on his index finger, I overheard him saying,

'She looks quite interesting. I like her.'

Ron said, 'What the f**k did you found in her? She don’t have those huge boobs & butt unlike other girls who roam around you.' He said, 'You won't understand.'

Aubrey said, 'Do you think she's that much interesting?'

With a chuckle he replied, 'Just wait and watch. Things gonna get interesting.'

So you better get prepared to make a such a guy fall for you."

After the class being over I headed towards my rented apartment that my dad prepared for me to stay. The whole way I was just thinking again and again, "What was she talking about? Is she that much silly? How can such a high profiled guy get interested in me? Yes, it is possible. But only in my dreams. Sigh..... What a pity on me! Will I ever get someone like him who'll truely love me for who I am?"

*Will he really fall for her or end up shatter her heart into million pieces?

 

To be continued......

Episode 2 : Virtual Friend

I came back to my apartment with full stress. As soon as I entered my bedroom I jumped into my bed stretching my full body all over my bed. After a while I reached for my phone. Suddenly I remembered that due to my today's busy schedule I almost forgot to log into my IMVU account. Without any delay, I took my daily spin. "Today's my lucky day. I won 200 credits in IMVU. Oh my! I forget to knock Adamson." Adamson was my IMVU friend since I was in high school. I tell him almost everything that happens to me every single day in summary. I immediately knocked him. He replied in seconds.

"So how ur 1st day of university life spent?"

"Horrible."

"Hey, what on earth had happened to u?"

Unlike other days, I told in everthing in minute details.

Hearing everything, he said, "Judging from what Vivian told you, I think he's indeed a playboy. He's just wearing a masquerade mask in front of others."

"But I don't think so."

" 'Don’t judge a book by it’s cover'. "

" R u sure he's playboy in disguise."

"Let's investigate. It'll be fun task."

"Do u have any idea of how we can investigate him. I'm not gonna get close to him and ask questions directly on my own."

"U don’t have to do that. I've a plan."

"Tell me."

"Use your IMVU ID."

"Sorry, I don't get it."

"Silly, I mean use ur IMVU account to haunt him down."

"Have u gone crazy? Do u know who he is? If I tryna haunt him down then he'll haunt me down instead."

"Do u think he'll recognise u that easily?"

"What if he doesn’t have an IMVU account?"

"I bet he has."

"Ok, lemme see."

I immediately searched for his ID by his name. To my utter surprise I really found his ID. "Damn. He's really an extravagant. He's a VIP who also has an AP. Wow, he's an IMVU celebrity with 7k followers within a very short time. What! He didn’t follow back any girls and not much boys. What an attitude!" As he was online, so I sent him a friend request. I waited for hours but as expected, he made me totally bail less. Seeing Adamson still online, with full of anger I told everything to him.

He said, "Precede in another way."

With disappointment, I replied, "Which way do u want me to follow?"

"Knock him first then seduce him?"

"What r u talking about? U want a bunny to go to the fox intentionally?"

"Hey, don't get me wrong. Wait, lemme search his ID."

When Adamson was busy searching his ID, I knocked him saying, "Geoffrey, u r hot as hell. I've never seen such a dashing avater ever before. Do u wanna have some fun tonight?"

Again he totally ignored me even though he was online. I got so pissed of his cold attitude. After I calmed down, I bought a new s**y dress for my avater. "Now, my avater looks quite s**y. Boy, get ready to fall in my trap." Then I invited him in a private chat room. Unexpectedly he accepted my invitation. "Adamson was right. He's a lewd. Seeing such a s**y avater he couldn’t hold himself back."

In the private chat room.....

"Geoffrey, it’s my luck to meet such a hot avater in my life. I'm so lucky to spend some glorious time with u. Can I be ur bedwarmer, honey?"

He remained silent for some time. All of a sudden he replied with full of anger, "Listen up, u girl, don’t cross ur limit. U r not my type. And stop calling me with those lame words. I hate these type of seducers. I just accepted ur invitation just to see how far u can go. Don’t u ever think that I got puzzled in the way ur avater looks like. Better u go right now if u don’t wanna hear more ironies."

"It's my luck to find a handsome who don’t wanna be ho*ny. BTW, u said u didn't get puzzled in the way my avater looks like. Well, I'm more seductive than my avater. If u want then we can spend some nights together, all alone. I'll be all urs."

"Don’t forget what u just said."

I felt like my heart leaped up for a second. "Why do I feel like he somehow recognised me. I feel like somethings gonna happen tomorrow. But it isn’t that easy to recognise someone only by seeing her avater. Now I've nothing to do except waiting for tomorrow. Forget it. Concentrate on other things."

After a few minutes Adamson knocked me saying, "He's so cool. According to Vivian' description he's way too friendly. It was beyond my expectations."

"Seriously! But following ur idea I found out that he's as like Vivian described me."

"Something tells me he isn’t a playboy rather a cold hearted bad boy with a good heart, I mean tsundere."

"Told ya."

"I say u better know more about him by opening a fake IMVU male ID. Cuz he's a bit friendly with boys but not that much either. So, watch ur words."

"At last you give me a good idea. I'm so relieved. W8 til I make this plan come true.

I feel so sleepy & tired so good n8."

"Good n8."

I didn't tell Adamson about what Geoffrey told me in the private chat room. Cuz I guess it would make thinks more complicated if he knows about what he said before leaving resulting in making them IMVU foes.

I quickly got ready for bed as I gotta wake up early tomorrow.

Episode 3 : When Nightmare Turns Real

It was still dawn. I woke up this early just because I had troubles sleeping the whole night because of some petrifying nightmares all night long. To be honest all these nightmares were centering him. So I didn't had a sound sleep.

The nightmare was like....

I came back home after classes and due to feeling so much lethargic, I was about to fall as sleep on my bed. But all of a sudden someone knocked at my door. "Who the hell has arrived at this hour?" With eyes of full sleepiness, I somehow managed to open the door. Without asking about who it was or checking through the looking glass, I opened the door at once. It’s, it’s Geoffrey here, standing at my door. Without any second thought I tried to slam the door at him but failed because of the pressure created by his muscular arms against the door. He entered my apartment, slammed the door with a huge noise and locked it up. He started to approach me and I was going backwards. At one time he pushed me against the walls. Slowly he was leaning closer and closer. I was trying so hard to push him away but failed.

I woke up when I was trying to push him away.

It was a such a lucid dream. I woke up in a jerk. My heart was racing like it’s about to come out of my chest. My eyes were wide open. I was sweating all along even though the air conditioner was still operating. After a while when my heart came to a stable condition, I tried to sleep but that nightmare didn’t let me sleep at all. My whole night spent like a cat on hot bricks.

Even after getting fresh, I still felt so drowsy. I washed myself, took my breakfast, then headed to the bus station. I reached my destination in half an hour. I was walking like a dummy towards my class with no sense of surroundings. Suddenly someone pulled me aside, in a corner, so that no-one can see us. It was Geoffrey! He was wearing a perv**ted smile all through his lips.

"So you are Tessa Watson, right? Now we met in reality. Pretty cool. Didn’t expect to meet me so soon, did you?"

"Stop your monkey business. Are you out of your mind? Or are you got drunk last night?"

" For your information, I don't drink even though I'm a spoiled rich kid. And you know the best who's doing monkey business here."

Realizing the depth of the situation, I tried my best to avoid his questioning by saying, "Move aside. I'm gonna be late for my classes."

"Before I let you go, lemme show you something."

Still pressing me against the wall and blocking my way by placing his hand on my right, he took out his phone. With my utter surprise he showed me my avater and last night's chatting with him on IMVU.

Holding the phone facing the screen on me and with a snigger on his face, he said,

"You are too dumb, girl. You wanna trick me by turning your avater into a s**y one then saying those seductive words in the private chat room but you forgot to change the look of your avater. Tch...What a poor little bunny who dared to trick a cunning fox. A friendly piece of advice for you. Next time you tryna trick me, better change your display name and looks."

Then he let go of me. But I remained like a statue who was staring at him.

When he was about to leave, he turned around and said, "It'll be best if you open a new ID to trick me next time."

When I felt everyone was rushing as the class gonna begin, I came back to reality and joined those rushing pupils.

Today I again took a sit with Vivian. In breaktime, we were taking snacks. I especially prepared some chicken sandwiches for us. Vivian liked it very much.

She said, "Wow, Tessa. Your cooking skills are quite good. Can you tell me how you prepared this?"

"Come to my home and I'll teach you how."

"Gimme your address. I'll visit you when I get spare time."

"My pleasure."

I gave her my address and asked her if she have any problems on her way, she can call me straight away without any hesitation.

The class being over, Vivian started to pack her things up. We gossiped for some time when we were getting ready to go home. All of a sudden, a handsome guy called for Vivian. She got excited that she couldn't wait to go out to him. "Wait, I know him. He was the one with Geoffrey yesterday when they were playing basketball. But his name is...?"

I asked Vivian, "Who's he?"

"He's one of Geoffrey's close friends, Ron."

With a delighted smile she added, "Guess I'll also be the centre of attention if I be your friend."

Again Ron asked for her saying, "Why are you delaying? Pack your things up later."

With a hurry she replied, "I'm coming."

Then she asked me to pack up her things for her. She left in the speed of light leaving her desk a total mess.

After I organised all our things, I searched for her here and there then found her talking to Geoffrey and his friends. They were looking at her with fierce glances. They seemed to guess my presence so one of them looked at me fiercely. I left the place as soon as possible and waited for Vivian at the exit with her bag. After a few minutes, she came running to me, took her back and ran away again.

Before leaving, with full anxiety, she only said one thing to me, "Take care, friend."

I asked her a number of times, "What's wrong? Trust me, I won't tell anyone. You can freely explain anything to me."

But she replied nothing to me. Her anxious face made me worry more. After she left, I saw them walking towards here. So I also quickly ran away as I don't wanna get in front of Geoffrey again.

I came back home with full anxiety along with tension so I fell on my bed all jaded. Soon I fall asleep. But all of a sudden someone knocked at my door. "Who the hell has arrived at this hour, so damn disgusting? Oh, it must be Vivian," I murmured. With eyes full of sleepiness, I somehow managed myself to get my bed and went to open the door. Without asking about who it was or checking through the looking glass, I opened the door at once. "Am I dreaming again right now? Is it real?" I slapped myself. "No I ain't dreaming. It's, it’s really Geoffrey here, standing at my door." Without any hesitation, I tryna slam the door on him but failed because of the pressure created by his muscular arms against the door. Leaving the door wide open, he entered my apartment, then slammed the door and locked it up.

Now only me and him alone here. It's so awkward to be alone with a guy in an apartment at night. He started to approach me and I was going backwards. At one time he pushed me against the walls. He was standing in such a position that I got no chance to escape. He started to lean closer and closer towards me. Not finding any other ways, I screamed out loud saying,

"What are you gonna do with me?"

He whispered into my ears with a perv**ted smile, "Someone told me that she'll be glad to spend some glorious nights with me. She also said that she'll be all mine. So I just came here to make all her dreams come true."

Hearing this my eyes got wide open with shock.

"Shocked, right?"

"I ain't. Let go of me. I've no will to spend nights with you."

"Oh, my jinx. I should've makeout with your avater back then. But, since I came here, I'm not gonna go without having some fun, am I?" I tried so hard to push him away but all my attempts failed. Seeing my straggle to break free, unexpectedly he loosened his grip. He said, "Forget it. I'm not on my mood today."

He headed towards the door and opened it. When he was about to leave, he said, "Don’t open your door like this unless you are sure of who it is."

When he was gone, I felt so relieved but fell on the floor. "Wait, isn’t it what I saw in my dreams last night? It really came true!" With dozens of questions spinning across my mind, I fell asleep lying on the floor.
