Falling For The Bad Boy

{Diane}

Life can be annoying sometimes, especially during the times your wealthy, business father wants to you to date his rich friend's son for business deals.

Seriously. For business.

"I'm not interested in Thane Darko" I stated to my dad.

He scoffed, looking very pissed at me "You are not always interested, Diane. You are not even interested in anyone!"

"No, it's not like that, da-"

"Then it's like what?" My dad vociferated, his eyes wide and dark at me. "Like what huh?" My dad half yelled, glaring at me. "You rejected all the good guys that wanted you, including Thane Darko. THANE DARKO!"

The room fell silent, but that was only for five seconds.

"Why do you keep turning down those good kids?" He questioned in a low, but angry voice.

I didn't say a word to give him answer. Instead I toyed with my food, while he studied me with those angry eyes.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" He asked out of the blue.

"What?" The question came out in a whisper.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" He repeated slowly this time but his tone was firmer.

I stared at my dad suspiciously, then turned my face to my step mom who was smirking at me.

Bitch.

"Honey, we all know she doesn't have a boyfriend, and Thane is just perfect for her" She said innocently to my dad but there an evil simper at the corner of her lips.

At that moment, I wished I could slap that red lipstick off her big mouth.

"Yes" My dad agreed. Of course he would. "Thane's a nice kid, getting close to him will have it's benefit to the company and that will automatically benefit the family a lot"

Of course, that was what mattered to my dad, not my feelings. Business benefits mattered to him a lot and if he does not get what matters to him, I'm afraid he's gonna cut me off. I don't want that so I thought of doing something crazily ridiculous.

"I don't think I need any Thane guy in my life because I wouldn't want to cheat on my boyfriend" I dropped casually like I actually do have a boyfriend I didn't want to cheat on.

My stepmom creased her perfectly shaped dark eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

I placed my palms on the dining table, knowing it was my turn to smirk "What I mean, my dear Julia, is that I have a boyfriend"

She froze while my dad stared at me.

"A good boyfriend. He is rich, he is a celebrity and he treats me right" I added sweetly, all just to piss Julia off and it was working.

"Well...." My dad's harsh tone magically turned slightly mild "What is his name?"

I froze.

He carried on "What does he do? How did you guys meet?..."

I swallowed, knowing I was in big trouble as my dad went on with his questions.

"You will see him one day, dad" I said to him with a fake beam.

"At least give me a name" He urged, smiling a little.

I twisted my mouth nervously, my cheeks going hot and my heart pounding as I thought of someone I could just mention to my dad, then an image slid easily to my brain.

Soft hair, smooth skin, icy blue eyes, pointed nose, perfect shaped lips, dark sexy smirk. . .and only one person came to my mind.

"Harry Michaelson" I blurted out.

No. I didn't. . .I didn't say that, did I?

The big smile on my dad's face told me I had blurted out the wrong name.

"Oh, I love that kid!"

I hate him.
