“Yes I can see that but I think the people who are waiting for you downstairs are more important than any business calls. Of course, furthermore, it is your decision” Sara spoke while eye balling him and soon left the room without further conversation.
Blake stood frozen for a while and then got back to his phone to say, “I will talk to you later.”
Meanwhile, downstairs, Sara entered the dining hall where Blake’s parents were seated around the table.
“Did you call Blake, Sara?” Jane questioned as Sara approached her.
“I did but he is busy and maybe won’t be coming down to join you for breakfast.”
“Who said that?” Blake spoke from behind as he entered the dining hall, “Good morning everyone” he greeted politely and sat beside her mother.
“I thought you were on an important business call.” Sara taunted and raised an eyebrow as she looked at Blake.
“Not really. I think the people who were waiting for me downstairs are more important than any business calls.” Blake spoke flirtatiously and smiled at Sara.
“Well, you are here now, let’s start the breakfast” Jane spoke by looking at Blake and then turned her glare at Sara, “And Sara why don’t you join us please.” Jane offered and insisted on Sara joining them as well. Sara agreed.
As the breakfast proceeded, the family ate while gossiping a little and after the breakfast was done, everyone headed back to their rooms.
“Sir?” George followed Blake as he headed towards his room after the breakfast.
“You gave me a task about Sara yesterday and well I have the entire information.” George spoke contently with a smile.
“Great! Tell me everything but not here. Let’s head outside.” Blake walked out of the house and George followed him. They stood in the backyard and their conversation started.
“Now tell me?” Blake stood and looked at George to continue.
“Her name is Sara Cameron. She is 30 years old and lives alone in a small house downtown. She took her medical degree from the local college of this town and she was the top student of her class. After her degree, she has worked around different hospitals where she was admired for her work. Your father is the first patient that she has been privately working for and…”
“George, George, tell me about her personal life, not her work achievements please.” Blake interrupted.
“Oh yes sir, I was just getting to that sorry. She has never been married...”
“Does she have a boyfriend?” Blake interrupted again.
“No sir. In the past she had two to three boyfriends over time but she never had a long-term serious relationship with anyone. According to her neighbor, Sara is not a man pleaser and was too mature as compared to the sort of boyfriends she had, which is why none of her relationship really worked out. Anyway, she is currently single and has not been in a relationship for over more than a year. In fact, as far as my research goes, she is not even in a budding romance with anyone.”
“Anything else?” Blake was smiling by now and felt contented with the information that George had provided him with.
“Nothing much. But there’s one small detail; she is the sole supporter of her mother, emotionally and financially. Since she doesn’t have any other siblings, and her father died due to an illness when she was very young, she is the only one left who earns and supports her mother.” George concluded and awaited Blake’s response.
“Well thank you George. As always, you managed to make me happy with the effort you put in your work. That will be all for now” Blake spoke with a smile and George nodded with a smile too.
“Damn! Everything about you is so appealing. I was waiting to know everything about you first, but now, its time to work and make you mine.” Blake thought contentedly as he headed back inside the house and looked around for Sara. He finally found her in his father’s room where Sara was adjusting his father’s drip.
CHAPTER 5
“Hello.” Blake greeted Sara as he entered the room.
“Sshh.” Sara quickly turned and silenced Blake.” Please keep your voice down, your father is finally resting now.” Sara whispered as she walked towards Blake.
“Oh sorry. I came here to talk to you.” Blake spoke in a low voice.
“Well sure but not here. We can talk outside while your father rests.” Sara spoke as she headed out the door.
Once outside the room, she said, “You wanted to tell me something?”
“I just came in to tell you that I find you gorgeous and…”
“You made me come out here so that you can tell me that?” Sara interrupted and felt surprised at Blake’s sudden advance at her.
“I am not finished yet Ms. Sara.”
Sara stayed silent and allowed Blake to continue.
“So as I was saying, you are a gorgeous lady and I have met many women in my life but none were as appealing as you are.”
“Are you now done Mr. Blake? Sorry but I need to go back inside to your father.” Sara spoke rudely and headed back towards the room without giving an ear to what Blake wanted to say or without further giving him the chance to speak.
“This act of yours just made you must more desirable Sara. I love to accomplish things that are difficult to attain. And I will achieve you one day for sure.” Blake thought as he looked at Sara walking away from him.
The next morning Sara was in church with her mother and after the ceremony ended, they made their way out of the church. Sara’s mother was a very social lady, which is why as she came out, an old lady stopped to talk to her. Sara soon became bored with the conversation and excused them by saying, “You guys can continue your chatter and I will be waiting for you at the church’s gate, all right?”
Sara’s mother nodded and she made her way towards the gate. As she walked, she saw a Ferrari standing by and she wondered if anyone in their church group was rich enough to afford such an expensive car. But as she walked closer, she saw Blake and George standing by the car and she realized whom the car really belonged to. Blake saw Sara and walked towards her with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. The bouquet that Blake carried looked beautiful, as it was a combination of Sara’s favorite flowers; white lilies and red roses.
“Hello gorgeous.” Blake greeted as he approached Sara who was beautifully dressed in a white dress with her hair tied in a bun. “These are for you” Blake handed in the flower bouquet to Sara.
“Umm thank you. They are beautiful.” Sara spoke politely as she looked at the flowers.
“Not more than you of course.”
“What are you doing here?” Sara questioned and did not respond to Blake’s flirting.
“Well, I came here to meet you.”
“Why?”
“What do you mean by why? Am I not allowed to come and meet you?”
“No. I mean why are you doing all this Mr. Blake. Maybe I was not clear enough yesterday but I am not interested in you in any manner, so please you have to stop doing all this.”
“Doing what Sara? I just came here to meet you and give you these beautiful flowers. Is that something offensive to you?”
“Yes it is! And how did you know I was here at the church anyway?”
“I have my ways and sources for that. Besides, I told you, I find you gorgeous.”
“Oh please, will you stop.”
“Now what? Is complimenting a beautiful woman like you, a crime too in your world?”
“You know nothing about my world Mr. Blake, so please stop pretending like you do”
“I may not be familiar as to how your world is, but I am well familiar with it, I know everything about you.”
“So you already ran a background check on me right? I don’t even understand why you are doing all this. What possible benefit will you achieve by following me around like this?”
“Ok, let’s make it simple for you. I want you Sara Cameron. In clearer terms, I want you to me mine.”
“That’s ridiculous. Look, while you are in this town, go find
something useful to do with your precious time instead of wasting your time on me because I am not interested in being a billionaire’s arm candy.”
“What? I didn’t say anything about you being my arm candy. Now look who is being ridiculous herself.”
“Mr. Blake…”
“Hello?” Sara’s mother approached the couple from behind, “what’s going on here. Who is this fine gentleman Sara?” her mother asked as she looked at Blake.
“Hello ma’am, I am Blake Nathaniel. I am Sara’s friend. I am sure you must be Sara’s sister right?”
“Oh heavens, no. I am Sara’s mother. My name is Sofia Cameron.” She blushed while answering.
“Mother? Really? Well now I know where Sara gets her good looks from.”
“Well, it’s certainly not from her father’s side.” Sofia giggled.
“Mom, I think we are getting late. We should be heading home now.” Sara interrupted them because she couldn’t bear any more conversations with Blake.
“Well, all right. It was nice meeting you Blake.” Sofia smiled.
“Trust me, the pleasure was all mine. Besides, I love meeting such stunning women like yourself.”
Sara’s mother blushed again and spoke as she giggled. “Oh you are such a pleaser, Blake. Sara, why don’t you invite your friend over to our place sometime?”
“Yea Sara why don’t you?” Blake smiled and teased Sara.
“Mom, please let’s just go home. I am getting late.” Sara spoke in frustration.
“Ok, ok. Well, we will meet later Blake.”
“Sure Sofia.”
CHAPTER 6
“So what’s up with that man, Sara? He sure was handsome.” Sofia questioned as they entered Sara’s house.
“Mom please stop all right? Please just ignore him like I do.”
“I cannot just ignore him Sara. At least, tell me about him.” Sara’s mother insisted.
“As he told you his name is Blake. He is the son of the man that I am privately nursing nowadays.”
“You mean he is the son of Mathew and Jane?”
“Yes mom. He is their billionaire son and he came to town few days back. He has been flirting with me ever since he got here. In the beginning I ignored him and thought maybe he was just playing around but today he just crossed his limits by following me all the way to the church.” Sara spoke angrily.
“Well, he was certainly very charming.”
“Mom!” Sara exclaimed in irritation.
“Ok, ok. If you have such a problem with that guy, why don’t you just complain to Jane about her son’s acts?”
“His parents are a bunch of sweet people. They have treated me like a part of their family and I don’t want to upset them by complaining. And Blake is a grown man anyway, I am sure he is not a child about whom I can complain to his parents in order to set him straight.”
“Oh that’s right. So then, what are you going to do then?”
“I am going to ignore him.”
“Ignore him?”
“Yes mom. That is my plan. What else can I do?”
“Are you sure ignoring will work? I mean that man looked pretty determined to get you Sara. I think he is highly interested in you.”
“But I am not mom. I don’t know what to do about this now.”
“Well, why don’t you just quit working for his family?” Sofia suggested.
“You are seriously telling me that? Mom, you know I can’t leave my job, especially because of a stubborn billionaire. Besides we need the money.”
“You are a good nurse Sara. You can find some other job.”
“Mom, I cannot just leave Mr. Mathew like that. He needs medical attention and I am his nurse. You know how honest I am with my work and I have a liability to look after that poor ill man”
“Well, ok. Don’t worry as far as Blake is considered, I know you are mature enough to handle a stubborn man like you preciously have.” Sara’s mother giggled and pointed out the fact that Sara had previously also denied many men who came begging for her attention. The discussion came to an end and Sara smiled too by thinking, “I don’t need to worry about him. I will handle him. That spoiled cowboy billionaire will never win me.
CHAPTER 7
The next day, Sara was reading a medical journal when there was a knock on her door.
As she opened the door, she was surprised to find Blake standing in front of her. “What are you doing here?”
“I came here to give you something.” Blake spoke with a wide grin on his face.
“What?” Sara felt confused.
Blake held a box in his hand, which he handed over to Sara. “Well go on, open it” he instructed Sara politely.
“It’s a necklace” Sara spoke in a low voice as she glared at the beautiful necklace that was sparkling in its black velvet box.
“It’s a diamond necklace, I ordered it for you all the way from New York. I thought it would look amazing on your long neck, but I guess I was wrong because looking at the diamond and you together, I realize that its you actually who is making the diamond look prettier, not the other way around.”
Sara silently stared at the necklace and after a brief moment of silence; Blake asked in a hopeful tone, “Well, do you like it?”
“Blake I need you to leave right now.”
“What happened? Did you not like it?”
“Just leave and take your gift with you.” Sara spoke angrily.
“Wait, I don’t understand what your problem is? Is it that I am a billionaire?” Blake spoke angrily too, now.
“No.”
“Then why do you keep turning me down? I can help you with your life as well. Heck, you can be a doctor if you want! Just give me a chance.”
“Exactly I don’t want anyone’s charity.”
“It’s not charity if you help the one you like. But fine, if you don’t want me to help you in any way, that’s perfectly fine, I won’t help you but at least give me a chance. Be mine.”
“No, just leave.”
Sara felt angry and slammed the door shut without further listening to anything.
After a few hours, the doorbell rang again and this time it was George who stood in front of Sara’s door.
“Hello ma’am, how are you?”
“What is it now? Why don’t you guys just leave me alone!” Sara spoke furiously.
“Mr. Blake saw you and your mother walking home from the church yesterday and so he wanted to gift you a brand new car.” George pointed towards the maroon colored Benz Mercedes that stood in front of Sara’s small house.
Without giving any further reaction, Sara left her house while George stood there on her porch calling her name. Sara took the bus and went over to Blake’s house to have a final word with him. As she reached the house, she felt furious and stormed directly to Blake’s room without greeting anyone.
“What is all this?” Sara barged in his room and saw Blake standing by the window.
“What is what?” Blake asked as he turned and looked at Sara with a confused look on his face.
“I mean what is up with all the gifts?”
“Well it’s my way of saying: be mine, simple.”
“So you are trying to buy me over by showering me with your expensive gifts?”
“It’s not called buying. I am just looking out for you and giving you all the pretty things that an exquisite woman like you really deserves.”
“No. What I deserve is respect! And I find this very offensive that you consider me the sort of a woman who is materialistic enough to be bought by your gifts. Let me tell you, these gifts of yours mean nothing to me, Blake Nathaniel!”
“Sara, I assure you, I didn’t mean to offend you in any way.”
“Well you did. What you are doing makes me feel cheap and makes me realize that you think I am inferior to you. I need gifts and expensive items in order to reach your living standard, is that it?”
“That’s ridiculous, if you were so inferior, why would I come
after you again and again. You, yourself are a gem baby doll. Anyway, if I have offended you so badly, tell me how can I make it up to you?”
“You really want to make it up to me?
“Yes of course. Anything to gain your forgiveness.”
“Well then, leave me alone.”
“What?”
“Yes. You heard me correctly”
“Sara, all this time I tried to win you but if you really want me to simply leave you alone then I will do that too but I request you to at least think about giving me a chance.”
“No. If you want to make it up to me, you need to stop all this and leave me alone.”
“Are you sure about that? Until now, I chased you because I like the thrill of the chase itself but I am a very egoistic man, Ms. Sara. If I leave, I will not come back until you loose and decide to come over to me yourself.”
“That will never happen!”
“Well then alright, I will stay away and don’t worry, I am a man of my word, I will not disturb you again.”
“All right great!”
“Well then, now if that’s sorted, you may leave my room right away.” Blake spoke in a grim voice and Sara stormed out of his room.
CHAPTER 8
The next day, Sara visited her best friend Mariah and told her everything about Blake.
“So you just stormed in there like that and made him promise you that he is going to stay away?” Mariah spoke in an offended manner.
“Yes. What else was I supposed to do. He was getting on my nerves.” Sara spoke as she drank her tea.
“Woman, are you insane!”
“Calm down Mariah.”
“I cannot calm down because my best friend is dumb enough to dump a billionaire who was head over heels for her.”
“Wait, isn’t that expression used just for ladies? I mean about the head over heels thing?”
“It works for both the genders. Now please, will you concentrate on what I am trying to say!”
“What, Mariah?”
