Chapter 28 - MAYBE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT

THE NEXT MORNING

Good morning beautiful! I said caressing her face for her to wake up. God! She looks so beautiful in her sleep, but even much more attractive when her eyes are open, they leave me speechless.

Good morning hubby. I responded with a smile asfter hearing his husky voice waking me up from my beauty rest. With a smile, I stared at his ice blue eyes that looked so beautiful. I took in his look and noticed he was already fully dressed for the office.

You need to get set for school if at all you still want to go because I have no issues with you sticking around my office room for the rest of the day. He said with a mischievous grin on his face.

Oh really now? So what will I be doing all day in your office suite when you're out there chasing your millions? I asked with a playful smile.

Well... Nothing much just sleeping on my sheets like a golden angel that you are. He said with a sexy smile playing on his lips.

No way! I still have plans of coming out top of my department so, I'm sorry , but not sorry to say that I'm off to school. I said getting off the bed noticing the stained sheets. I looked at him only to see a teasing smile playing on his lips, which made me look away quickly and dashed into the bathroom.

You know... Last night was very beautiful considering the lovely music you were singing in my ears. I teased as she shut the door. She looks very beautiful with all that shyness.

Go to your office Mav! I'm not seeing you till I come back from school.I yelled from the bathroom.

ON CAMPUS

Cassie snarled angrily at Landon. "Finally decided to show up after hours of texting you without a response."

Landon hissed back, frustration brimming. "Look, Cas... I'm not cut out for your drama. Get to the point. What do you want?"

Cassie's eyes flared with hurt. "When was the last time you checked up on me, Landon? Let's not even talk about touching or kissing—it's like I don't exist to you anymore."

His voice hardened, "I've been busy, Cas. My life doesn't revolve around you."

She cut him off, rage bubbling over. "Busy, you say? Busy chasing Scarlet? Busy craving her fat body?"

Landon's anger surged. "One more word about her, and I'll disfigure your face, Cassie. I might have been a gentleman with you, but that doesn't mean I can't be a beast as well!" He hissed grabbing her by the neck, his grip harsh.

"Landon! Lan… please s..s..stop!" Cassie coughed, struggling to break free.

He finally released her, his voice a low growl. "I dare you, Cas. Touch her."

Cassie's laughter rang out, cold and mocking. "Haha, actually I've already started. You just made the worst mistake with what you just did."

"What did you do, Cassie?"Landon's eyes narrowed

"Oh boy... wouldn't you like to know?" She smiled, satisfaction painting her features. "She was in the hospital because of me, the day I found out you were into her and pretending to be a bully."

I scoffed, shaking my head. "You see, Cas, you were stupid to do that. Funny thing is, you don't even know what you've gotten yourself into."

"What are you talking about?" Confusion flickered across her face.

He smirked, stepping closer, his tone dripping with menace. "That's the problem. I know I can disfigure your face, but you have no idea who you're up against."

"What do you mean?" She asked looking more confused.

I don't even want to talk to you right now, you're on your own. I've got my own issues to sort out. I said leaving her more pissed than I was.

Landon! She called but I didn't stop to listen.

CLASSROOM

Hi Scarlet... Landon started with a calm voice hoping to start a conversation with her.

What do you want Landon? I asked with a firm voice.

W... Well... I stuttered still trying to understand where her bold voice came from.

Get to the point Landon I don't have all day! I spat uninterested.

Scar... I.. never meant for you to hate me,... I actually...

Actually what Landon?! I fired with an angry tone. I've just had enough with this guy, and I don't even know what to do with him , one minute he's sorry and another minute he's a bully. You know what Landon.. I don't get what these girls see in you because the only thing I see is a self opposed jackass who has nothing to prove but taunts people so that he can feel fulfilled and contempt with himself!! I said without taking a break.

What the hell.... I couldn't wrap my head around her bluntness today, and who could have thought that she had such a sharp tongue? Scarlet... I'm just trying to apologize because I know I messed up. Bullying you all these while, making you feel low about yourself, making you uncomfortable and driving you into a panic attack wasn't all what I entirely wanted.

Scoffs sarcastically .... So now you're sorry? You were never sorry Landon. You were always a bully! I said as a matter of fact.

I'm sorry, I wish I never did that to you, maybe you won't hate me the way you do now. I said apologetically.

Scoffs ...Yeah I wish you didn't maybe it would have been different between us, maybe I would have seen you like some ordinary guy on campus. But who are we kidding? The almighty Landon could never change for another person. Stay away from me okay? I cherish my marriage and trust me you don't want to get on my husband's bad side you've already had a few strikes to your name don't worsen your situation. I warned him for his own good, because he won't think twice to get him expelled from this school.
