Doted On By The Mafia Boss

CHAPTER 46- HOW TO IMPRESS A GIRL

Jack adjusted his position and turned towards his friend to explain, "Ryan, the whole school knows you

like her but does she know about it?" Ryan fell silent processing his words while the latter continued,

"This all flirting and asking out is happening because no matter who likes her she is still single at the

end of the day!"

"She isn't your woman, she is your crush! None of this will stop, no amount of beating will hold people

back from eyeing her because... She isn't officially dating anyone. You get that?"

Ryan processed his thoughts and nodded, Jack's words made sense to him but he didn't know what he

was implying. He asked, "So... What should I do?"

Jack's eyes curled up as he said, "You need to make her yours officially!"

"Official?" Ryan raised an eyebrow, "She is still a kid, this is not the right time." Ryan turned down

Jack's idea. She was only 12 and in his opinion not prepared for dating and commitments. He wanted

to wait till she was 18 and mature enough to understand everything and get prepared for a life with

him.

But Jack had other concerns, he explained, "Ryan, I understand what you are worried about, you are

afraid she would say her answer in the heat of the moment and blame you later. But, it is not gonna

happen... You have both known each other for eight years already, you treat her the best in the whole

world. She is 12, no more a kid; her friends are all in a relationship, it is only her who is single."

"No... I don't think it's a good idea." Ryan was still reluctant about opening up his feelings to her. Jack

threw his arms around him and said, "Ryan, it's already too late. You see, right, how many people want

her to be theirs. You gotta admit it, her beauty is more powerful than your warnings! Her dad is a

businessman, you think he believes in love and all? Once he finds a profitable marriage he will send off

his daughter for the money and benefits of that matrimony."

He paused there and said in a tone as serious as his face, "You gotta make the move and claim her

before it's too late!"

Ryan was conflicted, one side he wanted to give her time and wait while the other side... Jack's words

were unfortunately true. He was torn apart between the struggle of choosing the right decision, he

loved her a lot to let go of her or see her sad.

After thinking for a couple of hours the boy finally chose what he wanted to do, he said, "You are right, I

ought to make the move before it's too late."

Jack's emotionless face finally brightened up when Ryan finally gave him the answer, he appreciated

him for making the right decision and continued, "If you make things official with her you will be able to

take care of her more, this will also allow Cathey to have enough time to see what kind of spouse you

are."

All these reasons and the fact that she will be finally his sent butterflies tremendously fluttering within

him.

"Ok, what am I supposed to do now?"

"It's the 12th of February today, Valentine's day is on the bay. Ask her out for an official date!"

"Date?" Ryan stood in front of the mirror and met Jack's eyes through the latter's reflection. Jack

nodded firmly, "Yes, the boy asks the girl for a date, he spends all he has into it, impress her and they

become a couple. That's how it works!"

Jack's words sent Ryan into a daze, when he finally broke out of his fantasies he asked, "Teach me

how it is done!"

"I..." Jack dragged before the two ended up watching different movies to learn the art of asking a girl

out. While Ryan sat and concentrated on the movie Jack sat next to him and took notes from every

scene.

After watching around 30 to 40 different movies Ryan lifted his remote to switch off the television when

Jack said he was done with them and asking out sketches. Ryan took the notepad from his hand, went

through what he had planned and asked, "You think it is okay to do it this way?"

"Yes, these were the most used methods and the girl's immediately agreed. If you follow this plan

perfectly she too will agree to give it a chance with you."

Seeing how confident he was with this master plan Ryan finally agreed to do it and started rehearsing

his lines in front of the mirror. It was a big day tomorrow, he was going to ask her out so he wanted to

make sure that he manages to give his best shot from his side and don't give her a reason to break up.

The next day, Ryan was patiently waiting outside Catherine's house in his car so that he can take her

school with him. Throw the rearview mirror he saw the young girl walking towards his car waving at her Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

nanny, Ryan's hands started to sweat as he saw her approach. With a katchak she pulled open the

car's door and greeted him, "Hey, Ryan!" And carefully sat next to him in the backseat.

"Brother Jack is still sick?" She asked seeing that the latter was still absent from school. Ryan grunted

before pulling out a big bouquet of fresh red roses and giving it to her, "Here, this is for you."

"Awww... Thank you, Ryan!" Catherine happily accepted the flowers and sniffed it without giving a

bizarre expression which he expected. He frowned, "Aren't you excited upon seeing the flowers?"

Catherine smiled and asked, "Why should I be surprised, you give me something every time we meet

since I have known you!"

"..." Ryan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she was not following the plan how he had prepared

himself for and this started making him nervous. The car started and Ryan kept on turning at her as if

he wanted to say something but couldn't make himself say it. The girl kept on noticing it but stayed

mum until she couldn't hold the suspense anymore, she asked, "Do you have anything to say, Ryan."

"Yes!" The boy admitted.

"Say it, why are you hesitating?" The girl punched his shoulders lightly and giggled encouraging him.

The boy signed to himself and said in a monotonous way, "You are really beautiful." "What.." The girl's

smile dropped when she heard his comment, Ryan nodded lightly and continued, "I need a map!"

"Why?" Catherine stared at him when he added, "Because I got lost in your eyes and need a map to

find my way out."

"..." Rendered speechless she kept on looking at him without a particular emotion on his face, for some

reason Ryan was getting frustrated as she was not giving him the reaction he sought for. "F*ck it." He

thought to himself and delivered the second line he had mugged up, "This morning a nightingale came

complaining to me. It is angry that the sound of your laughter is sweeter than it's singing."

Ryan tried to smile at her but seeing she was still silent and making the atmosphere awkward for him

he turned around. He cursed Jack in his mind for brainwashing him and making him do this stupid

thing.

Seeing that the atmosphere had tensed up Catherine chuckled awkwardly and said, "Ryan, is

everything alright?"
