College adventures

My Ella as an employees is weirdly attractive. Her innocence is refreshing but My Ella as a student is delightful and downright scary.

I swear there are so many instances that she scared the shit out of me because of her questions that frankly she should not ask to anybody.

Just the other day she skip inside my office obviously excited. I thought I am having an aneurysm whenever I remember that conversation.

"Gideon! Gideon! Guess what?!"

"What love?"

"Someone invited me to do one night stand!"

"What the fuck!" I exclaimed

"Right? I ask him If it is a kind of a physical game because I never heard of it before and he said yes and he even says I'll enjoy it."

"Love what did you answer?" How dare that motherfucker. I grit my teeth afraid of her answer.

"I told him I'll ask you first. When he heard that he says nevermind and just left."

Shit. I thank God she doesn't know those words if not I'll have so many problems and so many people to kill and dispose.

"Hey hey can we do that one night stand thing Gideon?"

Goddammit.

I swear I got older by 20 years after that.

My mantra everyday is "Make her happy" simple? Yes but it is hard to do.

I repeat that mantra whenever I needed to decide if I will let her do what she wants or not.

I'll tell you what happened on her second year last semester.

I was busy in my office as usual answering to all my pending emails when my love unexpectedly barge into my office.

"Gideon!"

I look up and saw Ella smiling so widely that I can't help but smile also.

"Hi love." I stood up and hugged her as if we did not see each other for years but I just saw her 6 hours ago.

"Gideon guess what!"

"What?"

Not again. Whenever she ask me to guess she is spouting questions that can make a nun blush.

"I am invited to a frat party this friday night! Can you believe it?!" She exclaimed excitedly.

Shit.

This is so much worse.

She stare into my eyes pleadingly and said "I can go right? Right?"

No.

"Of course love."

Fuck.

"Yey!" She shouted and proceeds to do one of her adorable victory dance.

"But I have rules." She stops in the middle of wiggling her ass to listen on whatever I am saying.

I told her to sit on the couch. She brings out one of her spongebob notebook and her magic pencil. She said she never use one of those when she was younger.

I almost bought the whole stock when she told me that but I told myself that 3 boxes of those is enough.

"I am ready!"

I want to laugh because she is eager to write all my rules. Should I be insulted?

"One don't eat or drink anything at the party. "

"Two don't go upstairs love. Stay on the ground floor."

"If you need to go to the bathroom ask your friend to accompany you."

"You can mingle but please love don't go with them to wherever they want to go."

"Please be careful. If any problem arise call me or the MIB."

I look at her and her pencil is poise to write another rule. She's so fucking cute.

"That's it." I said.

"Really?!" Disbelief evident in her eyes.

"Yes."

She jumps up and resume her victory dance.

End of flashback

The whole night of that party I was anxious. I peek on the front window every 10 minutes. I decided that I'll not be the only one who should be worrying about Ella so I call Blake.

"Blake."

"What."

"Ella is at a party right now."

"What the fuck?! Why?!" I can hear the voice of Cara asking Blake if there is a problem.

"What do you want me to do? Forbid her? Of course not!"

"What time did she go to that party? Who accompanied her?! And what the fuck she is wearing?!"

"Sang and Chris are with her and almost all my security are with them. You know that Ella doesn't wear revealing clothes Blake so don't worry about it."

"What if the revealing clothes is underneath her normal outfit James."

"She doesn't own any clothes that are revealing Blake so stop overthinking!"

"My sleepiness flew out the window when you told me this information. I 'll not sleep until she comes home safely."

Blake grumbled.

"That's the reason I called you so that I am not the only one who'll worry."

"Fuck you!"

"You wish."

Ella came back at 2 in the morning. I lost count on how many coffee Alfred served me.

"I am home!" Ella shouted.

I run towards the door and saw Ella slump on the floor laughing hysterically.

"Love."

"Hi Gideon!!" She tried to stand up but she kept on falling on the floor.

I carry her and Alfred assist me on the elevator.

"Are you drunk love?" I ask.

"No?"

I shoos Alfred away. I don't need his help. I can take care of Ella by myself.

"What did you eat or drink at the party Ella?" I ask while removing her shoes.

"We kept on dancing Gideon. I like those songs but I don't understand what it's saying but anyway I got thirsty. I found this yummy juice on the counter."

I bet that yummy juice is spiked.

"Gideon."

"Hmm?" I answered while getting her sleepwear. I chose her satin dress.

I saw her sprawled on the bed making a snow angel.

"I love you." She said sweetly

"I love you too." I love drunk Ella.

I remove her clothes and gave her a warm bath. She keeps on enticing me to join her in the tub but I decline.

I tried my hardest to dress her without lingering my eyes below her face but I did it. She keeps on kissing me all over my face which I enjoyed of course.

I convince Ella to take the pain reliever. She just agreed because I told her it is a candy and it will give her superpowers if she take it.

She was out like a light after I tuck her in.

I ask the MIB and according to them they saw Ella standing beside the juice stand and she keeps convincing the party goers that the juice taste bad and they should just take another kind of drink.

My God Ella consumed more than 2 Liters of that juice. I don't even know how many bottles of vodka they mix on that juice probably the whole bottle or more.

Her friends drag her out of the party and told the MIB to take her home because she was starting to shout my name in the middle of the dancefloor and requesting for some kisses.

I told Blake that information and he demanded that I check Ella's alcohol level. How the fuck should I do that in 3 goddamn Am?!

What I did is I did not sleep at all. I regularly check her if something is amiss.

I don't want to take any chances.

I was so exhausted but at least Ella is fine. Or so I thought.

I did not notice what time I sleep but I got woken up when I heard Ella throwing up in the bathroom.

"Shit." I run towards the bathroom and saw Ella leaning in the sink.

I grab her hair so whatever she's throwing up will not stick to her hair.

I run my other hand to her back gently.

After she finish her business I wash her face and made her gargle some water and mouthwash then I brush her teeth.

I lay her down on the bed again to make her a little bit better.

"It's painful Gideon." Ella whined.

"What is painful love?" I ask.

"My head it is pounding." She complained.

"It is called hungover love."

"Do you want something to eat?" I ask.

She shook her head.

"What do you want love."

"Lots and lots of cuddle." She mumbled.

Cuddle it is.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I am in the middle of an important meeting when my phone rang.

Ella was calling me.

I answered immediately.

"Love."

The excecutives from the other company glare at me.

I'd rather talk to Ella than them.

I glare at to all of them daring even one of them to say something. They just bow their heads.

Cowards.

"Gideon."

"Hmm?''

"I am hungry." I look at my watch and saw it was 3 in the afternoon. It is usually her snack time.

"I sneak out of my class to buy some food but I don't know how to operate this vendo machine."

"Why don't you just ask your security to buy you some food love." I suggested.

"No. I saw this yummy chocolate drink inside. I just want that and can you believe it! It has jumbo kitkat Gideon!" She basically told me all the snacks inside that particular vendo machine.

I told her step by step on how to use the vendo. Then I heard her say

"Mr. Shades can you please hold this for me? And you too."

To my amusement she end up buying all the snacks inside that vendo.

She even share to her security details the snacks that she bought from the vendo and gave me the last pack of M&Ms because according to her it represents her love for me that she is willing to sacrifice her last stash of chocolate for me.

How sweet. Good to know in her hierarchy I am one level above M&Ms and a level below blueberry cheesecake.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

I am currently inside the cafe near the school. Sang and Chris is taking accountancy so they are practically glued on their laptop while I am munching on some brownies that I ordered. I have no classes left but my friends still have a 6pm class.

Sang's phoned pinged and she opened it .

"Ella your boyfriend post a throwback photo of you."

"Throwback what now?"

She showed me a series of pictures. It was me and Gideon when I did the physical 2 years ago.

All the pics he is smiling while I on the other hand has different expressions. I am even crosseyed on the other picture!

I thought he only took one picture because he claimed that the rest of the pictures are blurred.

The caption is "I can't get enough of your beauty love. I miss you. #tbt"

"He's crazy." I said as I shake my head.

"More like Crazy in love." Chris said.

I call Gideon because I suddenly miss him.

"Lo-"

I cut him off and said "I miss you too."

"Oh. You saw my post?"

"Yes you sneaky liar. You said the pictures are blurred! I don't even look decent on any of those pictures Gideon." I accuse.

He chuckled and said "You are beautiful love."

"I am beautiful only in your eyes Gideon. You really need to get that checked. It's getting worse."

"I'll do that Love."

I end the call because I know he is in the middle of a meeting because I can hear a series of murmur in the background.

Gideon always answer my calls. He doesn't care if he is in the middle of a meeting. Scott even told me that it is hilarious to see Gideon scrambling to his seat just to answer my call.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

At my third year my professors are hardcore. Literally no chill. I mean essays, projects, assignments sometimes all those three every week.

So here I am sitting inside Gideon's office without him knowing since he is out for business lunch. I am writing a paper on slavery and british colonization.

I borrowed multiple books in the library for these research.

"Am I hallucinating or what?"

I look up and Gideon was standing at the door staring at me.

"Probably hallucinating Gideon."

He strides towards his desk which I claimed as mine for now.

He kissed my forehead and without a word grab his laptop and continue his work on the couch.

"Sir I need you to-" Scott entered the room and obviously surprised that his boss was evicted from his desk.

"Scott just give those papers to my P.A" then I pointed out to Gideon who looks amused by the way.

"Well you heard Mrs. Rosen-Hower Scott. Give me those papers."

Scott obviously confused robotically hand Gideon the documents.

I ignore them both since I need to concentrate on this paper.

"Gideon."

"Hmm?"

"Can you search on how many countries that britain invaded? I can't seem to find that information on these books."

"Sure love." I can hear him type rapidly on his laptop and then he said "Well out of 200 nations they did not invade 22 of them so 178 countries are invaded by them love."

"Okay thank you."

Whenever I can't find the information I needed I ask Gideon to search it for me. I did not notice that it is past 7pm already when I finished both of my papers.

I've been writing this paper for 6 straight hours!

I slump on the desk. My whole body is aching for sitting for a long time. I can't even feel my butt.

"Let's go home love. After dinner I'll massage your body."

"I can't feel my bumbum Gideon."

"I'll massage that too love." He answered. I hear a tone of eagerness in his voice or am I just imaginig it?

We went home and let me tell you. That's the best massage I've ever had. And good news I can feel my butt again!

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

I am busy.

To many mistakes was made. Multiple employees got fired. I mean what the fuck? I think I am the only CEO who proofreads all these contracts. I should not even do this!

I needed a break seriously.

🎶I love you! You love me! We are happy family! With a great big hug and a kiss from me to yoooouuuu I love you my Gideon!🎶

Yup my personalized ringtone. It was a prank at first from Ella and her friends but jokes on them I love it. I even maximized the volume of my phone so everyone in the vicinity can hear it.

"Yes love?"

"Gideooonn! I got a red mark on my paper."

"Red mark? Why?"

"I'll show it to you. I am almost at your office. Bye bye!"

Ella arrived holding a bundle of paper.

"Here."

She showed me her AP English language paper and what the heck there is a red mark on all your and you're.

Blake fucking Bradford.

It is still an A but heck it's still an annoying mistake.

He is literally just copying it from Ella's draft how can he made this rookie mistake? I am amazed that his company is not bankrupt yet.

"I'll tell Scott to bring some snacks for the mean time you can go to your friends at the 15th floor."

I stand up still holding Ella's papers.

"Where are you going?" She ask.

"I just need to talk to someone." She just nodded and ride the elevator with me going down to the 15th floor.

I barge into Blake's office unscheduled. I don't need a fucking appointment. This is serious.

I saw Blake talking to one of his employee.

"Out!" I barked out to the said person who went out of the room running.

"What the fuck James?!" Blake exclaimed.

I slam Ella's paper on his desk.

"What the fuck is this Blake?!"

He picked up the paper and his face became pale his mouth gaping.

"I warned you Blake!"

"I swear I rechecked this paper multiple times!"

"Not enough! Ella called me on the way to my office clearly upset that she got a red mark on her paper!"

She's not upset but he doesn't need to know that.

"I swear it is the autocorrection!"

"Blame it on the autocorrection sure."

"She still got an A" he defended weakly.

"Well it could be A+ but due to your elementary mistake the score was decreased. Blake you are just typing Ella's draft why are you still interchanging that 3 fucking words!"

"I- I swear James I did recheck this paper before giving it to Ella." He reasoned out.

"Well not enough rechecking clearly."

I slump on his couch clearly exhausted.

"Is she angry with me?" He mumbled.

I look at my bestfriend and his face look crestfallen.

"No. You know Ella she has no ability to get angry or stay mad for a long time but it doesn't mean you don't need to make up to her."

I stood up and straighten my suit and said

"Don't make mistake again Blake. If Ella got delayed in finishing her degrees I'll kick your ass." I warned.

He nodded and I bat out of his building.

Mission done.

On the way back I bought a dozen of doughnuts for Ella and another dozen for her friends. She deserve this treat. I'll just let her jump on the bouncy castle later to tire her out.

The next day an apologetic Blake came knocking on our door.

"I am so sorry princess! I did not mean to make a mistake on your paper." I snort.

Blake glare at me but still continue his tirade to Ella.

"It's okay Blakey. Everyone made a simple mistake. I mean it's not your fault if you are having a hard time on english subjects and grammar."

I can't hold it anymore. I burst out laughing.

"PRINCESS!" Blake whined.

"Anyway I have a gift for you and I know you'll love it."

He went out for a second then he came back with the MIB dragging a 10×8 foot panda bed. What the fuck?!

"Oh my god!" Ella excitedly exclaimed.

"I LOVE IT so much Blakey! How did you know I want one of these?"

"Call it brotherly instincts princess."

How come I did not know that? Why does my boyfriend Instincts did not catch that she likes that? I think it is malfunctioning at the moment.

"Am I forgiven Princess?" Blake asked Ella.

"Yes! Thank you thank you!" Then she repeatedly kiss Blake on his cheeks and hugged him.

Where is mine?

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

We place that panda bed on my study because as Ella said as I scream and threaten on my business associates on the phone she will lie down on that bed beside my desk and quietly read her book. We even remove the couch to accomodate that bed.

"Gideon?"

"Hmm?" I answered as I am signing some of my contracts.

"After I graduate can we go on vacation?"

"Where do you want to go Love."

"Pompeii" I stop signing and look at Ella .

"Where did hear that place?" I curiously ask. It is an odd vacation spot.

"I saw one book about that city and I got curious so can we go please?"

"Sure. Let's process your papers for your passport then we can go there."

"Yes!" She shouts triumphantly.

It turns out Ella has no legal documents.

It's a good thing NYU made an exemption for her.

I have no choice but to re-register her make her parents sign.

So here I am in front of Ella's rundown home holding her birth certificate.

So her good for nothing parents can sign it.

"Wait a damn minute!" A man shouted probably her deadbeat father.

He opened the door and say

"Why are you here?"

"I need you and your wife to sign some documents."

"Hell no!" And he is in the act of slamming the door on my face

But I kick the door with force which makes him fall on his ass and the door fell out of it's hinges.

I straighten my suit and said calmly.

"You will sign this papers. If I hear a peep from you I'll break your jaw. Understood?"

He frantically nodded.

"Good."

Their house is a mess. Trashes everywhere. Is that cocaine on the table?

"Honey what is happe-" Ella's mother went out of the room and was surprised to see me standing inside their house.

"What are you doing here!" She shouted.

I can feel her warm welcome.
