MONALISA
"Do you understand?" Mum asked and I nodded in affirmation.
"Yes, mum"
"He is our..."
"Mum, I am going to be late for lectures. You have told me over and over again. I will be nice and respectful towards him."
"Great. You're coming home tonight?" Mum asked me.
"I don't really know yet..."
"Don't waste your free time roaming about with your friends. Just come back home and stay with me, okay?" She asked.
"Alright. I will just come back home" I replied and leaned in, kissing her on both cheeks before pulling away and bading her bye.
I skipped out of the house with my bag in hand. It was a new day and I was trying my very best not to think about what had happened last night.
Mum had told me he just returned to the country yesterday and was moving into the mansion opposite ours.
I looked at the beautiful and huge mansion that was opposite our home and nodded firmly. To own that mansion and this entire estate, that man had to be a multi billionaire.
I kicked the thoughts of him out of my head once more and headed to school.

"Leon really broke up with you?" Francesca, my best friend asked in a whisper.
"Yeah, let's talk about it when class is over" I whispered back to her.
"That little bastard. How could he?" Francesca huffed and turned her attention back to the lecturer.
The lecture was almost done and I could see that Francesca could barely wait for that to happen. In a couple of minutes, the lecture was concluded and the lecturer left class.
"Tell me about it, Lisa" Francesca immediately turned to face me and I sighed softly.
"He said I am too..." I looked around.
"Maybe we should visit the coffee shop and talk about this there" I said, getting up on my feet.
Francesca did the same and we both headed to the coffee shop, with Francesca ranting about how she was going to rip Leon's body apart for breaking up with me.
We finally settled in the coffee shop, ordered two cups of coffee and got ready to talk.
"So, Leon said I am too insensitive to a man's touches and that I should just turn into a virgin nun already" I shrugged and drank a bit from my coffee.
"What the?! That little bastard thinks he is anything? He should be lucky that you agreed to dating him in the first place. He is way, way, way below your league" Francesca replied.
"You know what? I have an idea" Francesca said as I dropped my cup of coffee on the table.
"What idea is that?"
"You have to date someone else. Someone hotter than Leon. I bet it's his fault if you are not turned on while with him. Just find another guy who turns you on and..."
I could no longer hear what Francesca was saying as her earlier words repeated in my head.
'another guy who turns me on'
I could only think of one person. The one person I should not even be thinking of.
"Lisa? Are you even listening to me?" She knocked on the table and I jolted back.
"Yeah? Yes, I am. I am listening"
"Doesn't seem like so. Are you that heartbroken about the breakup?" Her face turned soft and emotional.
"Not really" I mumbled.
"Of course, you wouldn't be that hurt. You guys only dated for like three or four months in fact, right? But you spaced out, what were you thinking of?" Francesca asked.
"Nothing. Nothing at all" I replied, not wanting to think back at last night.
"I can introduce you to a new guy. He is smoking hot! One of the hottest guys in college at the moment!" She said to me.
"Really?"
"Yes. I am sure you are going to get wet at just the sight of him" Francesca giggled.
"I hope so" I mumbled.
"I will introduce you to him tomorrow. Get ready to lose that v card in the sweetest way possible, Lisa"
