Billionaire leveling up

Caroline’s Party

"Ugh! The stupid thing would not bulge!” he cursed as he tried to zip up his pants.

As soon as he got home and offloaded everything on his bed, he started changing into one of the clothes he had just gotten.

As soon as he finished dressing, he rode the bicycle bearing the gifts he had just gotten for Caroline.

When he got to Caroline's place, he sneaked around so that no one he knew would see him. He kept her gifts in a safe place and returned the bike.

“Finally you are here. Where are Carolin gifts?” Lydia scoffed and turned off her heels.

"Where is Caroline?"

Lydia rolled her eyes and asked him to follow her.

He stood at the door of Caroline’s apartment, he could hear the loud music blasting from the speakers.

His eyes swept the room in search of his blonde love when Tara appeared from no where.

Where did she gone?

The room was filled with people. Some faces he knew, some he had never seen in his life. How did she know all these people!

She weaved her way through the crowd as she pulled him behind her. Sweaty bodies hitting him along the way. To say he was disgusted would be an understatement.

All he wanted to do was run back home and scrub these disgusting sweat they are rubbing on him off of his body. He squeezed his eyes shut till there was more bodies to squeeze through.

When he opened his eyes, a small group of people had their gazes fixated on him. He mustered a smile as he looked around flustered.

He was shocked as he saw Caroline kissing a blonde guy.

"Caroline, What the hell you are doing?" He yelled in anger that his eyes turned red.

Caroline rolled her eyes and kissed the guy in front of him.

Ajax didn't controlled his anger anymore and pulled her away from the blonde guy.

"Hey, you idiot! How dare you to touch me," the blonde guy glared him.

"just stop Ajax or I will throw you out of my house," As Caroline warned him. He quickly let go things.

She liked somewhat drunk. Her stance was without the usual elegance she had.

She walked on her own feet and stumbled on her words.

He lifted an eyebrow at her.

Why was she acting like this? Even when drunk, Caroline still had her stamina. He walked to her ignoring the gazes on him and placed a kiss on her lips.

“Happy birthday” he whispered in her ear.

But Suddenly, a tight slap landed on his soft face skin.

Caroline pushed him away from her and gnashed her teeth.

“Everyone, meet my dumbest and useless boyfriend Ajax!” Caroline said in a mocking tone.

“ He is good for nothing. where are the gifts? You can't even afford to give a gift and you dare to kiss me," Claire gave a sarcastic laugh.

“Caroline, I…," he started saying when he paused. He noticed some of the girls and guys bickering around and talking behindtheir hands. Some pointed fingers at him and chuckled.

The background music had changed into a slow song and the attention of everyone was on the both of them.

He began to feel nervous, he hated being the center of attention. His heart began to race fast and his palms started to get sweaty.

His words got stuck in his throat as he tensed.

“Boo!” a male voice yelled from the crowd.

“What could a small town life bus boy/ waiter possibly get his girlfriend?” Sam, the college football captain yelled.

“Aww, poor Caroline” another girl yelled.

He tried steady his breathing. He closed his eyes and calmed himself down. He looked at Caroline and took a step back slowly. Then another and then he turned away from her and headed outside.

The laughter of the crowd and sighs of pity filled the air.

It did not take a while because he walked in again, carrying loads of bags.

"I brought these gifts for you and wanted to gift you..But now I think you are not deserving," Ajax turned his body and gifted things to Sam younger sister, Myra.

She was gulping her drink when Ajax dropped the gifts bags infront of her.

"Take these things as a gift."

“So, what did he get for you?” A girl with a thick eyeliner, Ajax recognized as Lydia asked.

Caroline picked up the smallest bag and tore it open. She gasped in shock.

“Oh my God!” she whispered as her eyes flickered to Ajax. He threw her a charming smile.

Lydia and her other friends stretched their necks to have a better view as she began to open the other bags.

“Aww, they are so pretty” Lydia squealed with a very high peached voice, “Now where did you steal then?”

“Lydia!” Ajax frowned.

“Oh, c'mon, get over yourself. Ajax is obviously as broke as broke could ever be.” Lydia said. She looked around at her friends.

“Am I wrong? Where on earth do you think he would get the money to buy all these for you. He is nothing but a thief, he obviously stole this” Lydia spat rolling her eyes as she threw an evil smirk.

Caroline opened her mouth as she stared at her friends supporting Lydia in calling Ajax a thief. She wanted to say something but nothing was coming out. She just shook her head and looked at Ajax.

Ajax placed a comforting hand on her hands. He nodded at her as if to say. I got this.

He called for the guy in charge of the drinks.

“Can I get your most expensive wine please?” he said politely with a smile.

Her friends sat back and watched whatever was going to happen unfold.

He counted all of them including Lydia. “Can I get like 8 bottles?”

“That would cost $16,000” the guy replied.

“Sixteen thousand… what?” Caroline exclaimed as she looked between Ajax and the guy.

Ajax ignored her and asked them to bring it.

Caroline and her friends all stared in shock, mouths wide opened as the drink arrived and he paid for them. He added a generous tip of about $2000.

“Y’all, help yourselves” he muttered and sat back holding Caroline's hands.

She did not make a move to get the drinks. She just stared in shock. “Who are you and what have you done to Ajax”

Ajax chuckled. “Have fun Caroline. You are about to get the life you've always wanted”

Caroline grabbed her drink and popped it open.

Her friends that were supporting Lydia had already started drinking theirs.

She smiled at them. Her friends were assholes and psychos but well, she did love them.

She smiled at Ajax. Ajax knew that smile, it was a smile that hinted that she wanted to do something mischievous.

“Don't even think about it Care_”

Caroline pulled him up causing him shut up. She dragged him to the center of the room and stood on the table.

“Happy my birthday to everyone!” she squealed.

Oh no

“I am so happy everyone! My boyfriend, Ajax, just made me the most happiest woman in the whole wide world. He is the sweetest calmest and most loving man I have ever met. I know I could be spiteful and hurtful to him, but he still puts up with my mess and loves me nevertheless. I just want to tell you all how much I love him and how proud I am to call him my boyfriend!”

Ajax could feel another wave of warmth spread through his chest. A lump began to form in his throat. Caroline was being too sweet and he could not believe it. Everything feel so surreal. He hoped this would not be a dream and even if it was, he prayed that he would never wake up.

Caroline's lips on his caught him unawares. They locked lips as they fell into a well of passion and love.

***

Caroline had left him a while ago to keep her gifts safe. He was left alone, sipping his wine as he thought about how much he had spent. He had not even used up to a hundred thousand dollars yet. He began to see how finishing this money within 24 hours would be a problem. He still had ever nine hundred thousand left.

“Hey Ajax” a guy bulky said interrupting his thoughts as he took the space Caroline had just left. The guy had huge muscles.

Woah! He must be living in a gym to be this built

Was that a hint of disgust and annoyance he heard in the guys voice.

“Can I have a word with you, in private of course” the guy said as his eyes glanced around as if to say. There are lots of people here, I need privacy.

“Sure” Ajax said and followed him.

As soon as they got outside, the guy pulled him harshly to wall.

“You, Ajax are going to tell me how you got this much money. I know you stole it and you are going to confess to it right now”
