Episode 7
Roxanne POV
I drove through my street, I was getting better each passing day. All of a sudden, a car swerved right in front of me and pulled the car to a halt.
I came down from my car and the occupants of the other car came out too.
“Hey, take this car away and let me go” I said..
“Take her” one of them ordered and two guys held me but I didn’t even argue it struggle with them.
In life, we should accept situation and think not panic and grumble.
I was taken to a sort of warehouse, a guy was standing there like a boss with his back facing me.
“Hello Roxanne” The familiar voice said and it was my driving instructor.
“What exactly do you want from me?” I asked and broke loose from the guy that were holding me down sending a kick and punch to the.each.
“Wow, you are really incredible but as I was saying. I want you to date me” he said and I looked at him.
“That’s good but next time be careful” I said and clicked on a button on my wristwatch secretly.
“What do you mean by that?” He asked.
“Nothing” I replied.
“So as I was saying, I want you to be my girl for just six days” he said but I kept quiet.
“Speak up!” He yelled but I sat down on the wooden chair there.
“I am thirsty,get me some water” I said.
“What?? Do you know where you are?” He asked.
“Yeah, I am in your hideout and I am being kidnapped but I am thirsty” I said and crossed my legs.
“Gosh, I can’t believe this” he said and got me a glass of water.
“I am quite hungry. Get me some food” I said.
“No, don’t you understand that you are being kidnapped, kidnapped! You can’t order me around!” He yelled.
“Are you done yelling? Now get me some food” I said.
“God!! Are you even human?” He asked and I kept quiet.
“Anyways, there is no food here” he added.
“Then I am leaving, I have to got get my food” I said and checked the time.
“Where’s my phone?” I asked and he handed it over to me.
I had several missed calls a d a message from Clara.
Mr Ranes left after waiting for you
I groaned and slapped him twice making g him gasp.
“How dare you slap me?” He asked and Clara walked in with some guards.
“Keep him somewhere, I need all the information about him” I ordered and walked out.
You wanna know how Clara located me? It was through the button on my wristwatch.
I got into my car and called Mr Ranes.
“Hello Mr Ranes” I said
“Hello miss Roxanne” he said.
“I am sorry for not being able to attend to you today,let’s meet tomorrow can we?” I asked.
“Of course, I know it’s not your habit, something must have came up” he said.
“Yeah, thanks for your understanding” I said and ended the call.
Thank goodness, that guy almost spiilt my perfect record.
I drove home and plopped to a chair.
Jake POV
“What’s your name?” A hefty guy asked.
“Jake Martinez” I replied and he wrote it down.
“Who is your father?” He asked.
“Mr Martinez, the owner of Martinez Corp” I replied and he wrote it down again.
“Now, why are you after boss?” He asked.
“Nothing, I just want to be her friend” I replied.
“Didn’t you hear that friendship is by choice not by force”
“Hey, just let me go. I will give you enough money” I said and he smiled before slappung me.
My cheeks was on fire. How many slaps had I received today only? I should just give up on this.
But wait a min, I have a picture of both I and Roxanne on a bed, I should use that.
A slap interrupted my thoughts.
“Hey, stop slapping me!” I yelled.
“Can’t you answer my question? Why are you after boss?” He asked then his phone rang.
He picked it and said a few words then ended the call. He released me.
“You can go” he said and I breathed out in relief.
“Finally, I am never trying out the hard method. In fact no method works on her.
I went home and thankfully mum was not home cause she would definitely question me a lot about my red cheek.
I took a bath making sure I spent hours in the tub then I went to sleep immediately on an empty stomach.
The next morning
“Why is your cheek this red?” Dave asked.
“It’s still red? Dave, I got slapped countless times yesterday” I replied.
“How did that happen?” He asked.
“I tried kidnapping Roxanne but I turned out to be the one that got kidnapped” I replied and Dave muffled a laughter.
“I think you should give up” Dave said.
“Before I do that, I have one Lear resolution” I said.
“What’s that?” Dave asked and Roxanne walked into class.
“You will know later” I said and looked at Roxanne.
You just watch, Roxanne. I am going to get you to be mine.

Lunch time
Where could Roxanne be? I have searched almost everywhere in the whole school. Do you know what that means? Going through several girls that were drooling over.
If not for this stupid game, would I be looking for her all over?
Finally I saw her walking around with two guards by her side. None of my business anyways.
I approached her with a smile, I know that she will definitely agree to this deal.
“Hi Roxanne” I called but she continued walking.
“Hello, I am talking to you” I said and the guards glared at me, I gulped when I recollected the slap I received yesterday.
“I want to talk to you about a deal” I said and she finally stopped in her tracks.
She only cares about business, deal and money, bitch.
“Let’s go to my car” she said and continued walking.
I walked after her or should I say I ran? Cause her pace was too fast for me to catch up with by walking.
We hopped into the car. “So what deal are you proposing?” She asked.
“Here it is” I said and showed her the picture if I and her together on the bed.
She looked at me and at the picture again. “What’s the deal?” She asked.
“It’s simple, date me for two weeks” I said and she frowned deeply while I smirked awaiting for her reply.
