Chapter 253 - Side - Luke And Alora Part 4

Sophie opened her mouth to say something when a car parked in front of us. It's Alora, driving the latest Lamborghini. His brother really adores her for giving her luxury cars. She went out of the car and I noticed all the guys were staring at her. I felt annoyed with those guys looking at her with hungry eyes. She's wearing a black leather mini skirt, a knee high boots and again, a crop top showing her pierced navel. She doesn't have any make up on. Only a lip gloss I think. Damn! She's sexy and really hot. But why does she dress like this? This is a school not some night club.

Before I knew it, I already called her and was walking towards her. What am I thinking? Did I get jealous when all the guys are looking at her?

"Whoa! Alora, you also have the latest Lambo! Your brother is really amazing!" I know she doesn't want any attention so she didn't bother to look at me. As she continued to walk, I run behind her and grabbed her hand.

"Hey, Alora. Can we talk? I want to tell you something." I am surprised that I asked her with a soft voice, it's not my usual tone but it's clear and firm, loud enough to hear by everyone near us.

She turned and finally looked at me. She's really pretty. No wonder, every guys in campus tried to be his boyfriend.

"What do you want? You can tell me now. We already attract the other's attention so talking alone is meaningless. So can you tell me now so I can go to class?" I looked into her eyes and there it is again, I saw darkness. The light in her eyes when we were kids is gone. Where is it? What happened to this girl? Is there something wrong with her?

"Are you sure? Do you really want me to talk about it now?" I asked.

"Yeah, spill it now! I don't have all day. I also don't have time to talk to you except now." I know she's getting annoyed because we're already making a scene and the students were all listening.

"Okay. Your wish is my command, princess." Princess? Did I just call her princess? I smiled and picked the red box inside my pocket.

Everyone on campus was on their cellphones taking a video of us. I don't really like the idea of being filmed but this girl's stubborness is beyond my limit. Alora didn't move so I opened the tiny red box. I know she already know how much it cost and the specifics of the design since I bought it from Hoseki.

"Alora, our parents decided for us to get married after we graduate from college. So from now on, you belong to me." I put the ring on her finger and waited for her answer. My heart is pounding non stop. Will she slap me? Will she throw the ring back to me? I looked into her eyes again but I can't figure out what's in it. Is that fear? Coldness? Anger? This girl is hard to read.

"Wait! What? Are you crazy?" She yelled at me.

"Oh I thought you knew since you insisted that I tell you now. Anyway, you heard me right, after college, we'll get married so from today onwards, you are my fiance." I didn't know that she's not aware of it. Mr. Smith said that their family talked and agreed about it. I thought that includes her, she's a Smith afterall.

"Is it amusing to you to make fun of other people? I don't know what you're talking about and even if its true, I don't want to be your fiance. I hate you and all those people behind this!" I received another yell from her and just like that, she run away and left me dumbfounded.

"I think you found your match, Luke. That girl doesn't even look at you. I mean she doesn't look at you like all the girls here." It was Percy with his annoying sarcastic voice.

"Who does she think she is? I proposed to her in front of everyone and that's her reaction. She rejected me? Luke Wilson?" I exclaimed. I know my pride as a man was crashed by Alora. She really deserves her title.

Sophie pat me on the shoulder. Her voice sounded annoyed as well. "Luke, do you really think that she will just agree to marry you? Is that what you call a proposal? Can you remember what you said? You told her that your parents arranged your marriage and she belongs to you now. Do you think she will be glad hearing that? She's not a possession Luke. You know Alora will not be happy if you will treat her like a thing. I wouldn't want that either. Maybe if you asked some girl in campus they will be glad to be your fiance but you know Alora is different."

"Luke, remember that incident when we were young, I don't think she remember it at all. The way she looks at you, me and Percy, I don't think she remember us. I'm glad that Alora will be your fiance. This maybe our chance to be with her again. Its been a long time, the three of us moved on but Alora was left in the dark because she doesn't remember. Luke, I know we didn't talk about it after but for a long time, I've been thinking that it's unfair that we left her alone. I want the four of us to start again and maybe she will remember us. This might be the only way. This might be the reason her family entrusted her to you. But please make it right. You know she deserves everything. And please don't let anyone hurt her again."

That incident. It haunted us for years. It took me more than 2 years to forget it. But Alora, she doesn't remember.

I sighed. I know Alora doesn't deserve that proposal. I was a jerk. I didn't think of her feelings, I'm just thinking about my pride but what about hers.

"Thank you Sophie. I know you missed her. Your best friend. I know you wanted to talk to her for a long time. I'm sorry for being a coward. I'll find her and talk to her again." I run as fast as I could and saw her running towards the rooftop.

I saw her standing in front of the fence surrounding the roof. "Alora, I want to make it clear that I didn't plan to tell it to you in front of so many people but you insisted. I want to seriously talk to you about it alone. But..." She suddenly fell down on her knees and I noticed that she's holding her chest. I panicked and crossed the space between us. I grabbed her on the shoulders. She's sweating and her breathing is not normal. "Alora! What's wrong? What's happening?"

"I, I can't breathe! It's happening again! Save me! Save me!" I don't really understand what's wrong with her but I'm worried. From what I'm seeing, she's having difficulty breathing. Is it asthma? No, she doesn't have any asthma.

"Alora, I'm here. Breathe baby, come on! You can do this." She's trying to tell me something but she can't even speak. Her breathing became worst. I panicked. I grabbed her face, run my fingers in her cheeks and then her lower lip.. God! What am I thinking? I want to save her but when her face is this close, I wanted to kiss her badly.
