“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” ...

Ella’s POV

I woke up this morning feeling so tired from yesterday’s thinking. I groaned as I got up from my bed and made my way into the bathroom because if there was anything i needed now right now,it was a hot bath.

After undergoing my normal morning routine, i walked into my closet to get dressed. I was still seated on one of the chairs close to my mirror when I heard James and my mother arguing. Sometimes I just felt like hitting his head really hard or just killing him with a knife because everything about him was so annoying.

I decided that I was going to annoy him today so it’s about time i went downstairs for breakfast.I ran downstairs and I met my mother and James arguing.I walked past them and ignored them because i was in no mood for their drama.On my way to the kitchen,I saw a note on the shelf with some files drew my attention.It looked like the person who put it there had tried to hide it.I picked it and it read.

"James these files should be delivered on time for the special client”

Special client? Oh well this special client was not getting his files. I picked up the files and put them in my bag. I was going to read through them when I get to my comfortable spot in school. I sat down one of the chairs as I watched Marian,our head chef prepare breakfast for me.

"Oh how would i know that James. I didn’t take your car keys.” My mother said with fear in her eyes.

"You bastard! I hate you!” James screamed, throwing the poor pancakes that Marian had made at her.

What was so special about his keys? I walked out of the house without paying any attention to them. Plugging my earphones in, I started walking to bus stop. I got to the bus stop really early so I decided to grab a cup of coffee from a close coffee shop. When I was done,I walked back to the bus stop sipping on my coffee and enjoying its bitter taste.

“Want a ride?”. A weird guy who looked like one of James’s bodyguards asked me. Could it be that he found out about the files. I had to act smart.At least i was in a public place and even if I wasn’t,I wasn’t scared in the least way.

"No!” I plugged in my earphones immediately completely shutting him out. It was a surprise that he kept standing there so i had to talk to him.

“Why are you still here?

“Well my boss insisted to see you and I can’t disobey him.” Why do bodyguards have this weird look on their faces. Like they were angry at the world.

“So James sent you here right? Tell him to go to hell”

“James?” His face scrunched up in confusion. Finally his face held something other than that weird look. “Sorry ma’am my boss is Mr Beck not James”

“Mr Beck? I don’t know a Mr Beck.” I dumped my cup and followed him to see his boss.

We walked up to a black sleek car. James couldn’t even afford a car this expensive. Wow Mr Beck you are the bag! The bodyguard opened the door and I got in. At least I get a free ride to school.

"Remember me mami?” The man next to me asked, pulling off his glasses and flashing a smile.

"Mr glasses?

“Well hello there Coffee Girl!” How did he find me?

“You still recognize me? Oh wow!

“I couldn’t forget such a pretty face. I see you’re a fan of really hot coffee.” he smirked.

Mahalia’s good company played on the radio and I couldn’t help but sing along.

“I like when we settle on the sofa,uh

You do a little shuffle just to get a little closer,yeah

I love the way that lighting is catching your face

Now I see you clearly,this is more than a date”

“ I see you’re a big fan of Mahalia too.

“Yes Mr Beck I’m in love with her voice.

“Can I get your name now?” He asked and I sighed.

“Ella.

“Ella..I like it!

Who says that? It was just a freaking name Beck!

“Okay weirdo..I’m guessing you know my stop already so I don’t have to remind you.

“Rude much and I know just sit back and relax..I have food.

My ears perked up at the mention of food and my stomach cried in excitement.I didn’t have the breakfast that Marian was busy preparing because I wanted to see those files and I only had the opportunity to do that in school.

“Of course I can never refuse food.

We ate together and in no time we got to the university.

"You didn't tell me you had a twin brother Beck.” For some weird reason we could not get down from the car.

"Oh that. Well we just met and you left so how was I supposed to tell you.

“Anyways that’s your business.I’m actually really excited you know!

“Anyways that’s your business.” he said mimicking me.

“Well sir you can get down now.” one of the bodyguards said.

“Why are you getting down?

“You’ll find out soon now stay close to me.

“Why are you here..you don’t happen to be a lecturer here or a student because you look to old to be a student.

“So I’m old now..you’ll see.

The guards walked close to us as we walked into the Culinary Arts department. A lot of interviewers were here too. What was going on. Who was Beck and how was he this rich. We were able to escape some of the interviewers and we entered my Lecture theatre. Slowly everything started to add up.

“Mr Stones would be here soon to talk to the class”

“The head of the Prestigious Stones University is in the country and he’ll come to visit at any time”

Could it be that..oh no..I think I made a very big mistake. The other Anderson was wealthy too.

“Beck are you Mr Stones?
