Invitation
𝑂𝑓 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑓𝑢𝑐𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒 𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝐼 𝑝𝑖𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦! I screamed in my mind. I slowed down as I got closer to my classroom door.
“Good morning Mira.” I smiled back at the professor as I moved quickly to get an open seat in the class. There were whispers as I walked. I had on my usual sweatpants and over-sized sweatshirt combo on I don't understand the whispering.
𝑀𝑎𝑦𝑏𝑒 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑤𝑎𝑠 ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑒ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑚𝑒? I looked behind me to see nothing happening. 𝑁𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔. 𝑆𝑜 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡’𝑠 𝑔𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑛 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑐𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑠?
One of the many football players ushered and pushed his friends down so there was space for me to sit. I thanked him and sat down. I rapidly took out my notebook writing down what the professor was going over for the quiz next week.
I was invested in writing my notes that I didn't see someone calling for my attention until I felt something hit me on the right side of my head. A piece of paper landed on my notebook. I opened the paper.

There was a drawing of a winking emoji next to his name and I wanted to strangle the man.

I put an eraser in the letter so it would be heavier and threw the letter back at him snickering as it hit him in his head. I turned around and I quickly continued my notes.
The professor called for a ten-minute break some people left, but most people stayed.
The football player I was sitting next to moved and Jayden took his place. I internally groaned but outwardly I pretended he wasn't there as I looked at the study packet.
“What do you want me to send it on?” I put my paper down and looked at him confused.
“What? Send what?” I looked at the packet and he took it from me placing the letter in my hands instead.
“You said I would have to pay you a thousand dollars for you to even consider. So what do you want me to send your money on? I could also give you cash, but I would have to go to an ATM.”
I blinked, once, twice, three times before what he said clicked in my mind, “Apple Pay is fine.”
𝐻𝑒’𝑠 𝑏𝑙𝑢𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑔. 𝐴𝑙𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑑𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑝𝑖𝑑 𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑡.
“I need your new number then cariño mio.”
“I'm not your darling, but gimme your phone.” I sneered at first then held my hand out. He gave me his phone immediately and typed my new number in, handing it back feeling confident that he was going to chicken out or make an excuse.
“Check your phone cariño mio,” I growled at the pet name as I unlocked my phone seeing the bubble of $1000. I opened my wallet app to see if this was bullshit or not but nope I had $1000 to my name.
My eyes widened, “You can text me or tell me what your answer is.” he winked as he stood up trading seats with the boy from earlier.
𝑊𝑒𝑙𝑙, 𝑓𝑢𝑐𝑘.
I didn't focus for the rest of class. I was baffled.
𝐻𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑙𝑦, 𝐼’𝑚 𝑏𝑎𝑓𝑓𝑙𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝐼’𝑚 𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑎 𝑔𝑙𝑎𝑑 ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑑 𝑘𝑒𝑝𝑡 ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑑 𝑀𝑎𝑑𝑒 𝑚𝑒 𝑔𝑟𝑜𝑤 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒, 𝑎 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑙𝑒 𝑏𝑖𝑡 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒, 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑟 ℎ𝑖𝑚.
I twirled my hair in between my fingers thinking about it.
The professor dismissed us and I ran out of the classroom.
𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑘 𝐺𝑜𝑑 𝐼 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑎 𝑏𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑘 𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑙 2𝑝𝑚.
I let out a sigh then stopped at the library’s back entrance taking deep breaths before entering. Once I was calm enough I walked inside.
I was walking to the furthest table in the library when a hand wrapped around my waist and a hand covered my mouth.
“Cariño mio” I was greeted by familiar grayish-green eyes and pet name.
I screamed internally and narrowed my eyes realizing who it was. I licked his hand and he removed his hand from my mouth. He wiped his hand on his pants. I pushed away from him going to my usual table. There wasn't anyone other than Jayden and I back here.
Jayden was still standing as I sat down and grabbed my study guide beginning to work on the study guide.
𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝐼 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑠ℎ, 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝐼 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑜𝑛 𝑚𝑦 𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑠.
He sat down across from me and I ignored his existence continuing to study.
“Mira.” I ignored him.
“I'm not gonna go anywhere so you might as well answer Mira.” Again he’s ignored.
𝐼 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑔𝑒𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝑎𝑓𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠, 𝐼’𝑚 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑎 ℎ𝑢𝑛𝑔𝑟𝑦. I play with my bottom lip as I highlight something inside my packet.
“Miraaaaa.” he was starting to get upset that I wasn't responding to him.
“Imma say it. The one word you hate.”
𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑑 𝐼 ℎ𝑎𝑡𝑒? 𝐼’𝑚 𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠.
“Mariah.” I looked up at him and narrowed my eyes at him.
“Next time you say my birth fucking name my hands are going around your throat.” it was tense between us.
It turned into a tense silence.
“Mariah.” I slammed my packet down and hop across the table and wrapped both my hands around his throat as we fell backward in his chair.
“Why do you always insist on bothering me?! I'm trying to study. In peace!” I stressed. I took a deep breath again to calm myself.
“Fuck you Jayden.”
“I'm trying to give you a chance to do that Mariah.” he choked as my grip tightened.
“It's Mira. Call me that name again and I’ll kill you.” I hissed out tightening my grip when he smirked.
“Mira.” He choked out and I slightly released him, “Okay, I'll send another thousand if you come.”
I got off of him and left him on the floor as I walked back to my seat.
I crossed my arms as I looked at him, “I'm not going. I don't like parties and all you wanna do is fuck me.”
“Seems like you need a good fuck with how uptight you are.”
I tossed my water bottle at his head but he sadly dodged it.
“Every fucking year we have this conversation. Motherfucker. I am here for an education. Dick and whatever bullshit come AFTER.”
“Yea yea you say that but I'm just trying to help you, Mira!”
“HELP ME HOW?!”
“You're gonna burn out! I'm trying to keep the only person who gives me a fucking challenge in my life sane and saving you from burnout. It's already looking that way, you probably think you're in your sweatshirt and sweatpants right now.”
I opened my mouth to retort but he moved his finger down and I rolled my eyes.
𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑐𝑘 𝑖𝑠 ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡? 𝐼 𝐴𝑀! I looked down at myself and realized that I was in fact NOT in my usual go-to clothes. I was wearing a black sweatshirt crop top and biker shorts. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes realizing he was right.
I heard him getting up from the floor and I could feel his presence in front of me. He took me by my elbows and pulled me closer to him and I opened my eyes once again.
“One party to let loose and let me help you unwind,” he stated gently.
“How is a party gonna help me unwind?” I crossed my arms looking into his eyes.
“It’ll be a distraction. It’ll take your mind off of everything.”
“Along with fucking me?”
I raised an eyebrow at him.
“It's a good stress reliever.” he shrugged and he had a small smile on his face as he looked into my eyes.
“I’ll make you feel good Mira.” he leaned close to my ear and I shivered as his hot breath hit my ear.
I pulled away from him somewhat, “I don't want to add to your ego and conquered bitch list.”
“You’d be the fourth girl on the list then. I may be popular, but I'm still picky about who I fuck.”
I narrowed my eyes at him, “I'm telling you the truth. Come on Mira it's senior year. Our last year here. You're always working so hard.”
He softly grabbed me by my chin and pulled me close so our were inches away.
“I can't. You know I can't stop working hard until I'm finished with school. I- I have too many scholarships riding on my attendance and GPA.” I forced my eyes away from his as I felt my gaze softening, but he pulled my chin and I looked at him.
𝐻𝑒’𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑔𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑡. 𝐻𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑛𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑!
I let my eyes fall to his lips. There was a small smile on his face.
I hardened back up half-heartedly, “A silver spoon like you would never understand. I don't have daddy's money to do whatever the fuck I want.” I gasped when he grabbed me by the throat gently and pressed his lips to mine.
I allowed my eyes to flutter close as I felt any of the tension from my shoulders and I grabbed his shirt pulling him closer at first then pushing him down. I climbed into his lap.
I sighed as he looked up at me with an ‘I told you so’ look.
“This doesn't mean shit,” I mumbled looking away.
“So you sitting on my lap, moving your hips onto my dick, and pushing me down onto the table doesn't mean I'm right.” I punched his shoulder as his watched his lips curl into a smile.
I groaned and let my head fall back at his words. I let my head fall forward sighing.
“What do you want from Jayden?”
“First I want you to admit I was right.”
“I'd rather die,” I said preparing to climb off but he grabbed me by my ass and put me back where I was.
“I'll give you one hundred thousand dollars if you come to the party, have sex with me, and stay over until Monday." my eyes widened.
𝐻𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝐼 𝑑𝑜𝑛’𝑡 𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑... 𝑊ℎ𝑦 𝑖𝑠 ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑜 𝑑𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑑?
I gulped as he looked up at me. He was so serious and it looked like he wasn't taking no for an answer.
“Why?” I asked in a whisper.
He picked up my hand and pressed a kiss to my hand, “I wanna help you, Mira. Of course, I have my own selfish reasons, but those aren't important.”
I rolled my eyes. 𝑂𝑓 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑒 ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑎𝑛 𝑎𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑎. 𝑇ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑎𝑙𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑖𝑠.
“Now Mariah.” I was about to tell at him, but he looked so serious and it made me a little shy, “Please tell me your answer cariño mio.” he nuzzled his face into my hand.
“I’ll come to your party and spend the weekend with you.” I spit out after a deep silence.
“And?” I gulped again as I tried to look away, but he held onto my chin forcing me to keep eye contact with him, “I have to hear you say it, Mariah.”
He wasn't saying my name to be funny or to be am asshole. On occasion when he does take things too far he does this it was actually kind of comforting, every time we have a serious moment. He was trying to show me that he was being serious and I wasn't mad, He was giving me a choice. He was showing me how serious he was being about this.
"I'll also sleep with you Jayden."
He sat up and got close to my face, "Thank you. You’ll get your money when you come to my house in two days." He let his eyes close halfway and I thought he was gonna kiss me again so I closed my eyes.
He cupped my cheek and leaned close to my ear, “You’re so cute, Mira.” he pecked my lips as he placed me in a chair.
I felt my face warm up in embarrassment. He sent a wink my way as he began to walk away.
I started hitting my head, “Stupid, stupid, stupid bitch! You stupid horny bitch!” I nearly screamed when I heard his footsteps returning.
I looked up with a strained smile, "I almost forgot! Wear something sexy for me on Saturday."
𝐴𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑠𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘!
I couldn't think of a response in time as he walked away again.
"What the fuck did I get myself into?" I slammed my head into my book and groaned loudly.
