The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

“It’s Halloween!” Arin giggled happily rushing down the stairs, looking so cute in her mouse costume with the pink ballet shoes and tutu.

Someone had painted mouse whiskers on her face, she was grinning and bouncing as she made her way through the employees, she was carrying a plastic Halloween pumpkin to be filled with miniatures candy bars.

Ethan had been the first to drop a candy in it, then Irish.

Others were prepared, they dropped candy bars into her pumpkin as she passed them . Her plastic Halloween pumpkin were almost full when she was done.

So many people had contributed to her candy stash and she was so happy.

“I can’t wait to see others Halloween costumes” she said as they had breakfast.

“I’m sure yours is gonna be one of the best ” Irish said.

“Yes, I’m sure of that too” Mr Harlow said.

“I bet there’s gonna be commotion in Arin’s school today” Jessica laughed.

“How?”

“The people with witch and vampire costumes” Jessica emphasised and they laughed. “I’m gonna go in a witch costume next year” Arin said.

” You should go in a vampire costume with blood dripping from your mouth”Jessica said.

“Gross!”Arin groaned and she laughed.

“I can’t wait for Arusha’s candy bars, he promised to put a lot in my Halloween pumpkin” Arin smiled.

“Really?”Jessica asked.

“Yeah”

“Well.. starting from today, we’ll be going to pick Arusha together ” Jessica announced. “Really?”Arin asked.

“Yes, we’re friends now” Jessica smiled.

“Woah”Ethan , Mrs Harlow and Gabrielle said in unison.

“I won’t have to be going with you guys again then” Irish said, relieved.

“Yeah, you need to rest after all” Jessica said.

“That’s your brother they are talking about right?” Mr Harlow asked and Irish nodded with a smile.

“He’s coming over by weekend, you’ll get to meet him” Jessica said.

“I can’t wait, i heard he’s a braniac ” Mr Harlow said.

“He is, God father. I hate to admit it but i think he’s more intelligent than i am, just with a little gap though” Jessica pressed her lips together.

“Really?” Mr Harlow was stunned and Jessica nodded.

For someone to be more intelligent that Jessy, then it means he’s a real genius.

He’s so impressed with Fred’s children.

“Goodbye everyone” Jessica and Arin waved.

“Bye” Others said in unison.

“Irish, are you okay?” Ethan asked her quietly and she nodded.

“You’re looking so pale” He touched her forehead but it wasn’t burning up, her body temperature was normal.

“I’m fine” Irish insisted.

“You really need to rest, you’ve been working so hard. Don’t be so hard on yourself please” Ethan said worriedly.

“Okay, I’m going to rest” She said.

He kissed her forehead and she smiled.

“Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine” She said and he nodded.

Jessica wondered if Mrs Helen is going to tell her to get out of her house.

She’s so sure Arusha would have told her what happened between them. She sighed… even if he hadn’t told her, who wouldn’t ask seeing her son come back with a bruise forehead and broken nose .

“Arin, is Mrs Helen… nice?” Jessica asked Arin.

She was nervous, they were almost at Arusha’s house.

“She is, i like her, she makes nice sweaters for me”Arin smiled.

“Ohh” Jessica said.

“You must be worried about the fight between you and Arusha, i’m sure Mrs Helen isn’t gonna hold it against you”Carl assured.

Carl and Javad were guarding them while Alex was driving.

“I hope so” Jessica sighed.

“We’re there” Alex said, parking the car in front of a building.

Arin smiled and grabbed her Halloween pumpkin, she alighted from the car and Jessica gingerly followed behind her.

“Help me open the gate Jessy” Arin said.

“They have no gatekeeper?” Jessica asked and Arin shook her head.

“Ohh” She said and opened the gate, she allowed Arin step in first before stepping in after her.

It was a big clean compound and Jessica wondered how many apartment were there.

Arin walked to Arusha’s apartment like she has lived there all her life .

She got to the door and knocked.

Jessica stared at her feet and picked at her fingers.

Javad and Carl was standing at a reasonable distance, watching over them.

The door opened and she raised up her head, expecting to see Arusha.

There stood a guy about Arusha’s age looking tall and cute, his full and thick eyebrows were noticeable, narrow straight nose, exotic high cheekbones and eyes, the color of liquid honey.

He had black curls that looked messy but attractive.

His skin is not only creamy but smooth.

Jessica didn’t realise her heart had been beating crazily all the while until she heard his voice. So cool.

“Arin, how are you?” He asked but his gaze was focused on Jessica.

She had gotten a hold of herself and looked like she didn’t care but her heart was beating crazily for this guy… damn!

“I’m fine Ryan” Arin said.

Oh.. my!

He’s Ryan!!… Jessica realised.

Arin stretched her Halloween pumpkin to Ryan and he dropped some candy bars in there like he had been waiting for her.

“Thank you” Arin grinned.

“I’m off buddy” Ryan said.

“Alright, bye” Jessica hear Arusha’s voice.

Ryan stepped out, mesmerized by Jessica’s beauty, he couldn’t help but keep staring at her as he walked away.

He was almost tempted to say hi.

Jessica blushed hard, knowing he had been staring at her.

She’s used to guys staring at her but why does this feels so special.

“Jessica is at the door”Arin said to Arusha as she walked in.

“Really? Why isn’t she coming in?” He asked and headed to the door.

“My candy bars first” Arin said and he smiled, he dropped so many candy bars in her Halloween pumpkin and it got full.

“Woah! Thank you” Arin was happy.

“You look cute by the way… Mum wants to give you some too, she’s in her room”Arusha said to Arin who nodded and hurried off to Mrs Helen room.

Arusha opened the door and met Jessica standing there, seeing how red her cheeks was, he smiled.

“I guess you’ve met Ryan” He said and opened the door widely for her to come in.
