We got to the classroom together and he led us to the end of the class. He slid into the chair and i stood there like a statue with moving eyes staring at him.

He sensed my stare and looked at me with raised brow. "Are you going to stand there and listen in class?" I cleared my throat and sluggishly sat beside him.

I played with my nails on my thighs and kept my head low. I really want to thank him for earlier and explain the situation of the whole engagement to him without telling him about my problem with mother but why does it matter to him and me.

As usual i was drowned in my thoughts when I felt the warm feeling of his palm accompanied with the ring on his fingers creating a cold sensation there.

I looked up to find his gaze locked on my face. "Lectures began ten minutes ago" his calm deep voice drugged deep in my ears. "Huh" I looked around to find everyone focused on whatever the teacher was saying.

His burning stare made me look at him then at the note book resting in front of him. Wow! Even his handwriting is beautiful?

I cleared my throat and decided to focus but i couldn't specially when I was beside the handsome and sexy basketballer and of course I had people sending me silent glares.

My body was in the class but my spirit wasn't here because it took a journey into the world I created in my head. A pen was balled in my hand yet I still couldn't scribble a word.

"---I'll see you all tomorrow" the statement every student wishes to hear brought me back to reality.

I slowly packed my books and made a move to stand up when I felt a strong grip on my wrist. I turned around to find him staring at me

His eyes passed his unsaid words out but it came out so mysterious that I couldn't read it.

Romero is like a box filled with treasures discovered by a pirate under the sea, the difference between him and that box is that; he is discovered by a simple girl with a complicated life and controlling mother and while the box is filled with treasure he is filled with mystery, and my curiosity and the strange feelings and connection i have for him are the keys to unlock him.

"D-do you need something?" A ghosted smile swelled on his lips and he stood up. His tall frame towered over me made me gulp anxiously.

For some reasons my shameless eyes couldn't stay at a place it had to roam at his chest down to his arm.

His body was well sculptured and defined with the right amount of curves and muscles.

The curls of his hair were gelled up giving it a glossy look and they bounced happily on his head.

My eyes traveled down his flawless yet well defined face and i couldn't help but imagine his look in the nearest future.

I rolled my eyes down to his lips to find a smirk tug at the pink flesh making me realize I have been staring. I cleared my throat in embarrassment and blinked away from his intoxicating gaze.

"Lindo y único"(cute and Different) the alien language tumbled off his tongue rising up new hormones I never thought existed in my bones.

"I-i'll see you later" i muttered and turned to leave but he stopped me. "That's quite rude tesoro, don't you think?" He had a brow raised and for some reasons i felt a sharp pain of hurt in my chest.

I don't care if mother or someone like Leon calls me rude or imperfect but hearing it from Romero somehow riled up a strange feeling of sadness. I didn't know why he made that statement but I did the first on my mind which is to apologize.

"R-romero I'm sorry, i-i-- "Relax Angel I was just pulling your legs. We came together and you planned on leaving without me"

Oh! That's what he meant.

"I'm sorry Romero, i just don't want people saying stuff about me or getting a crazy idea about us" a frown kicked on his face.

"Why does it matter what they say?" It maybe just two days since he got here but he is popular and has the attention of everyone without putting in too much effort.

Being seen with him will bring my shy ass to the spotlight which is something i really don't want. I may want to be free from Nora's bondage and defile her in all possible aspect but i can't deny the little fear in my heart when I think of the extent she can go to prove how perfect she is and if she comes to know about the friends I have; Damon and maybe Romero, that's if he considers me a friend it'll certainly not be well for me.

I'm not scared of what she'll do to me but i fear for what she may do to them. Damon's parents are influential and wealthy people same goes to Romero but mother isn't a normal person when it comes to her perfect reputation so who knows what she may do.

I never thought of how my plans of defiance will affect the people in my life. Maybe I should stay away from Damon and Romero but deep down I know that it is highly impossible.

I can't stay away from Damon because I can't, i simply don't want hurt him and give him an impression that all he's done for me was in vain and of course he wouldn't let me make that silly decision

And Romero? It should be easy staying away from him but I somehow find it hard. It feels like his body is made of a magnet that pulls me and make me yearn for him.

Maybe it's the way he looks at me, his body built, his mysterious personality and intentions, his calmness that holds series of dangerous storm behind it, his scent or maybe it's the fact I can't get off the image of how he skillfully handled the ball on the court.

"---we should make a deal" the last statement of his speech hindered my thoughts and i looked at him to find out we had stopped walking.

I really need to see a doctor for this.

"I'm sorry" I murmured and he smirked. He didn't give a fore warning of the plan in his head when I was pulled into his body.

"Ro--- "If you utter a word i wouldn't hesitate to claim those lips" the thing with Romero is that i can't detect any definite emotion in his voice nor eyes but when he is being cocky or smutty the bluntness in his tone and the unwavering desire in his eyes are clear.

The murmurs and stare of people didn't go unnoticed by me and I tried pulling away but he held me tight.

"I was saying something Angel, I'm going to make a deal with you"

Tonight I'm making deals with the devil and i know it's going to get me in trouble. The famous line of one of Ariana grande's hit song barged into my head after hearing what he said.

Making a deal with Romero is like making one with the devil cause i know whatever it is, it'll get me into trouble.

"W-what-- "The next time you zone out I'll give you a kiss- and not just any kiss Angel, a real kiss on the lips" i swallowed the residue of the saliva that was left in my tongue to prevent my throat from being dry.

His lips were barely inches from mine and I swear my heart was so close to puking out of my mouth.

I've never met anyone as blunt as he is. I should runaway and stay clear from Romero's path cause I should feel he will only use me to warm his bed at night but the enigmatic look in his eyes tells me otherwise.

He is cocky and blunt doesn't mean his intentions are bad.

"What do you say tesoro, whenever you day dream for too long I kiss you and if that won't be the remedy then I may just have to-- "We got a lot of rooms around why don't you two us them for its purpose" the sudden voice of Damon broke us apart and i looked around to find his other friends, all with a sly look on their faces.

Embarrassment was a total understatement for how I feel right now. I intentionally ignored looking at Damon's face but I can't ignore him forever and will have to face his teases sometime soon.

We got into the exclusive room in the cafeteria and I was made to sit between Romero and Rishi.

While they had their discussion I almost zoned out but remembering the deal I made with him I was quick to pinch myself back to reality so i tried fitting into the conversation. Damon sensed something was off about me and Romero seemed to be enjoying the state I was in way too much.

I knew making a deal with him was dangerous cause the moment I break it I'll be in trouble.
