Chapter 1 of Billionaire Admits Mistake After Treating Dating as a Deal

Violet Ashlock

"Are you kidding me? Are you being serious?" My friend Merry said.

"Yeah.. I date that man now. Why?"

"Violet.. He's not your type." She laughed and I hissed.

"Oh come on.. You know I never want to be single. I always need someone to hook up."

"I know 10 years gap is not a problem but he's not your type. He's.. innocent." Merry said and I scowled.

"I'll end with him next week anyway.."

"Oh speaking of that.. Will you be at Harvey's party? Will you come? You know I won't come without you."

"Nah.. I skip. I'm aiming for par-"

"I know.." She cut me and I sighed.

"You are interested in him but he is not.. This is not you." She said and I laughed bitterly.

"That's my point. It's a challenge for me to get him. Get the memo?"

"Hello.. Violet! Get your head fix will you? You're not the type of woman who likes to chase guys first.. you're a girl with big ego and pride. Boys chase and lining up to get you, why waste your time for someone who has no interest in you?" Merry hissed and I nodded weakly.

"He's just.. uhmm.. different." I said as I twirled glass.

"Are you kidding me? You date for fun.. You don't want to get married right? You love this life.." She got the point.

"Well you know my dad.. He won't let me single forever. He will arrange me with someone anyway.." I rolled my eyes. Suddenly Merry's phone rang and I gestured to her to take it. I walked out from my private room to dance. I walked down and started to dance.

Waving my body carelessly and just following the beat. Suddenly I felt someone holding my waist from the back and I turned my body to find a cute light brown haired guy. I danced along with him. I don't care if I have a boyfriend.. I don't care if I cheat.. all of them are just a doll for me.

I grabbed his shirt and pulled his body to mine. I kissed him and he started roaming his hands all over my body. I opened my eyes and I saw someone that I had always expected to see for months. I pushed the guy away and walked back to my private room.

"Austin Portwalt is here.." I said and Merry looked at me with her eyes widened.

"What? This is Los Angeles in case you forgot."

"He's here.. I saw him entering the place."

"You should go!" He said and I looked to the mirror. I look okay..

"You look great! Go!" Merry pushed me out and I walked towards the dance floor again and roamed my eyes around.

"Looking for me.. Violet?" My breath got hitch when he whispered to my ear in a really seducing tone. I smirked and turned my body to him.

"What makes you think that? You know I never look for guys.. they look for me." I chuckled and trailed my finger around his chest. I looked straight to his eyes and he laughed dryly... or should I say boringly.. am I that boring for him?

"Oh really?" He trailed the back of his hand to my cheek and I felt my breath got hitch big time.

"Yeah.." I tried to keep my face straight.

"Goodluck for tonight then.." He smirked and walked away. He immediately found someone else and he kissed her straight away. What the heck!!

"Hello beautiful.." Someone slipped their arm's to me and I looked at the guy. It's Austin's friend Eduardo. He's cute and not bad but I like Austin better.

"Eduardo.. How are you?" I smirked and looked straight to his eyes.

"Pretty great.. How about you?" He asked and felt his hand roaming my body. I closed the gap between us and slowly creeped my hand inside his shirt.

"Pretty great too.." I whispered and looked up to him. I turned my body, making my back facing him. I slipped my hair to one side.

"Mind.. zipping it up?" I turned to him and smirked. He smirked sexily and zipped my dress up. He kissed my bare shoulder slowly trailing it to my neck. I moaned and I turned my head straight forward.

I saw Austin smirking with an unreadable expression at me. He was kissing the girl earlier but his eyes were looking straight at me. What game is he playing? He knew that I wanted him but he's playing with me..

You know I hate playing games..

I turned my body back to Eduardo and pushed him away. I walked back to my private room. I took my bag and got ready to leave. Merry will go home with someone anyway so I'll just leave. My mood dropped seeing Austin.

I walked out from the club and took out my car key. Walking towards the VIP parking lot unlocking my car key.

"Leaving so soon.. Violet?" I hate when he always said my name like it was the most sexy thing in the world. I ignored him and got into my car but before I could close the door.. he held it.

"Give me Eduardo's number.. I like him." I looked straight to his eyes and he smirked.

"Do you really want him?" He asked and that got me big time. I got out and looked at him coldly. I closed the gap between us and I put my index finger on his cheek. I slowly trailed down my finger to his neck.. chest.. abs

"What's with the question, Portwalt?" I asked and looked back to his eyes again.

"Interesting.." He said and I rolled my eyes. I got back inside my car and closed the door.

"Come to Ellie's party next week, wear something sexy." He said and then he left.

Yeah right.. Like I will come. I know what you're trying to do.. I'm not a fool..

"I'll show you that you can't control me.. I will be the one who controls you until you can't let me out from your sight.. not even a second."
