Chapter 3

Tyler's POV

Natasha. How can I even begin to describe her? She's amzing in every way possible. It's so hard to believe that she doesn't have a boyfriend.

I text Andrew and Derek to meet me at the pub. They were my brothers, we been together since we've been toddler.

I wear a pair of dark blue jeans and a black t-shirt with black trainers. I practically run through the house grabbing the keys of the kitchen counter. I grab my leather jacket of the coat hanger as I leave the house. I look at my watch. 12:00 pm. I have exactly 6 hours till my date with Natasha.

The drive from my house to the bar was less then 10 minute. When I got there Andy and Rek were already there. "Hey guys." I say as I sit down.

"Let's get drunk already." Andy says while Rek face palms himself.

"No I came here for a reason. To tell you I'm getting married." Andy chokes on his drink that he had when I got here and somehow Rek falls of his seat.

"You have a babe and didn't tell us?" Andy shouts a little after recovering from the choking.

The whole pub is probably looking at us but I really don't care. Rek sits up straight and fixes his shirt.

"Andy calm down I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason he's suddenly getting married."

"Thank you Rek. I don't have a babe it arranged by our parents. We're getting married in 1 month." They are both speechless. Andy being Andy has to break the silence.

"Dude, that's deep. I am sorry." I thank him.

We talked and ordered more drinks and talk about has been going on in our lives. I look at watch.

2:34 pm

I have exactly 3 hours and 26 minutes until my date with Natasha.

"Okay guys, I have to get going I have a date with Natasha." I say getting up grabbing my jacket.

"Your dad arranged a dates as well?" Andy asks.

"No I did. I figured, I'm going to marry the girl I should at least get to know her." I explain.

"Bye dude and remember don't embarrass yourself ." I grab the car keys from my pocket and open the car. I drive to my house as fast as the speed the limit will allow me. As I enter my house I run up the stairs and dash into my room.

I call the restaurant and book a table and a waiter knowing that it was packed most of the time.

After making the call I go into my wardrobe and look for something think casual. I layout a pair of black jeans, a white t-shirt with white trainers and a black blazer which I would leave open. I really hope I don't mess it up. Looking up at the clock I still had a few hours to spare, so I guest I can just chill in my room for a bit.

5:20 pm

Two hours has past and I decide to get dressed. I grab a box of the table. When I finish I finally hear the door open. I open the bedroom door race down the stairs.

"Hi dad. What's up?" I say as I walk into the living room.

"Nothing much son and stop using that language," he says as he went through his briefcase. But then looks at me

"Going somewhere son?" He gives me a confused look.

"Yeah, I'm going on a date with Natasha." My father smiles and even laughs a little bit.

"Well you have fun. Oh and here are your keys the second pair are on the key ring. Security and house help already hired. Remember don't let people know that this marriage is arranged. "

5:30

I take my car and start my half hour drive. The closer I get the more my nerves starts to act up. I was so caught up in my thoughts, that I almost past the house. I ring the door bell. 6:00 on the dot.

The door opens reveling Natasha.

She is wearing black long sleeve crop top with dark grey jeans with rips on the knees with black ankle boots.

"Hi tyler," she says with a gorgeous smile.

"Hi Natasha, you look beautiful."

"Thanks you don't look to bad yourself." I laugh. "Ready to go?"

"Yeah." She takes two steps into the house and yells,"Bye mom!"

I take her hand and lead to my car. I open the door for her. " Thank you", she says gently seating on the seat.

We made small talk on the ride to the bowling alley. I found out that she's never bowling before. So this will be her first time.

So when we arrived we got the bowling shoes and went to the last alley. I put our names in on the score board and went up to Natasha.

"Okay I put my name first so I'll go first and then I'll help like you suggested."

"Yeah that sounds good."

I get the perfect ball in weight and grab it with my right hand and go to the very beginning of the alley. I use my left hand to aim while closing my left eye. I take a deep breath. And as I release I let the ball swing and I let go.

As I open my eyes I see the ball knock down all the pins and I scored a perfect strike.

"Oh my gosh that was amzing." She says as she jumps up and down clapping her hand.

"Thank you. And it's your turn."

She walks over to where I stand while I grab a ball for her. " Okay , I'm guessing you're right handed?" She gives me a nod." So put your thumb in the bottom hole then your index and middle finger in the top two holes. Try swinging it back and forth to get the feel. Put your right foot forward and your left foot back. Uses your left hand for aim. Take a deep breath as you release your breath let go."

We watch as the ball rolls and hits the front pin knocking down the rest.

"No way it actually works." I smile at how suprise she is.

"So you didn't believe I could make you a great bowler." I say sarcastically.

"No, I did but I thought it would take a few gos." She says.

After about 40 minutes we were done bowling and Natasha. I mean this being our first date and all I let her win. Now we are at the restaurant where I reserved a table.

"How may I help you today?" The waitress asks. "I made a reservation here for two. Under the name Tyler Grant."

"Yes Mr Grant, please follow me." I nod, linking arms with Natasha. The waitress already put two meuns on the table.

We arrive at our table and pull the chair for her. She sits while thanking me. "No problem." I say while pushing her chair back in.

I sit my own chair while the waiter comes.

"Hello, my name is Jace and I'll be your waiter. Why don't we start with drinks?"

I am eyeing Natasha who was looking at the drinks section. I knew what she was going to get so I ordered for her.

"Can we please have a bottle if white wine and two glasses?" He nodded and went towards the bar.

"Hey, I was going to get a water. Plus you are driving us so shouldn't be drinking." She snaps while I slightly laugh.

"One. I don't think so it's possible to get drunk on wine. Even if it is its not enough to get me drunk. Two. I knew you were going to get water. I also know why. Don't worry I will pay just buy whatever." I state. She gives me a small but glowing white smile that made her eyes light up.

"Thank you Tyler."

The waiter come back with bottle and glasses. He fills our glasses to the top. Both Natasha and I thank the waiter. "What meal would like?" Says waiter.

"I would like the fried rice please." She asks so politely. "I will have the same as her." He nods his head and walks away.

"So why don't we play 20 questions to get know each other?" I ask. "Okay but we both have to answer the question, right?"

"Yeah, want to start?" I ask.

"Sure...um...What's your full name?" She asked. "Tyler Patrick Gabriel Grant. You?" She answers," Natasha Julia Everest Vanvet." I smile at the mention of Everest.

"Everest is a beautiful name. So I know you have friends cause a girl as beautiful and kind as you probably has people lining up to meet you. So they can tell people they know most gorgeous and generous girl. So who are your friends?"

She smiled shyly. "Ruby Peckson, best friend since a kindergarten. Emerald Geldin, met a couple years ago when I was doing volunteery work in hospital on break at Starbucks. Tom Dim, also met in kindergarten, Matt, he's practically part of our group because of Emerald and Tom. You?"

" Derek Demon and Andrew Cullen. My best mates since middle school. Derek is the sensible one out of all of us. Andrew is the one that likes to party." She has a confused look on her face.

"Thoses names they sound familiar,'' I look at her with the most suprise and amused look on my face. She doesn't know who we are. My friends and I are on L.A 5 most eligible bachelors. Derek being 5, Andrew being 4 and me being 3 but the first two are ugly but filthy rich that's why they occupy thoses spaces. As soon as we take over our fathers' companies we plan to take top 3.

''Anyway so what does that make you?'' She asked.

I think about it for a little while, ''I guess a little of both but I'm mainly the wise one.''

''Are sure you don't mean the cocky one?'' She asked with smirked. Feisty, I like it.

''Rightfully so.''

The waiter finally comes with our food, which is good cause I'm hungry.

Throughout the course of the evening, I found out a tune of stuff about Natasha like how she recently started to like basketball and how she was quite in school but wasn't afraid of to speak up when there was bullying going on. She is sweet and kind until someone gets her angry, which intrigues me.

Now we are walking through the park since dinner ended I bit early. In the park are just a few people that are walking the dogs, night jogging, couples making out on benches.

I look over at Natasha who looks a bit cold as she didn't bring a jacket. I take off my jacket and put it around her shoulders.

"What about you?" She looks at see I'm a white short-sleeved t-shirt. "I'm fine. I love the cold so I don't really get cold." She smile while thanking me. " So Natasha do mind telling about your dad?"

"What can I say he's was amzing in every way possible. He was brave kind generous, everything you wanted to be. He was in the military, so yeah, a real badass,'' I smile. She genuinly made a joke even though see her getting sad.

''He was 39 years but looked younger. He was in Afghanistan. The cave they were in exploded. One of his men in the troop was stuck. He helped him. The guy made it out. The cave collapsed on my dad. It happen when I sixteen. I got bullied a lot by this one girl. That was before the whole speak up thing I told you." She had small tears in her eyes that being to fall. I wipe them away with thumb.

"You are so strong Natasha. Don't you ever forget that and I know wherever your dad is proud of you " I say with my hands cupping her cheeks. I look into her eyes, searching them. I don't know why but I kiss her with everything I've got and she actually kisses me back. We start making out for like a minute even though it felt like more.

Natasha's P.O.V

That kiss sent fireworks off in my body. Reading all thoses romance novels talking about a magical first kiss. I never understood it but now I know it was understated.

Tyler broke the silence. "Natasha Julia Everest Vanvet. Even though I known for a short while. I feel something deep for you. You make me happy and if you give me the chance I'll do my absolute best to make you happy," he starts going on one knee, he takes a box out of his pocket and opens it," will you marry me?"

I don't know why I started to cry. I say yes. He slips the ring on. As soon as it is on he pulls me in a deep kiss that would have last forever, if we weren't interrupt by a round of applause. ''I do hope I make you happy, you deserve it.''

We make our way to the car. He opens the door for me and I thank him. "We are moving into the house tomorrow." I say nod.

"Tyler why did you do that?" I ask.

"The day we found out about this 'relationship'. You wanted romance and I intend to for fill your wish." I search in his eyes and see he wasn't lying. "Mr Grant you are making it really hard to hate this deal our parents made." He smiles.

"So I have earned the kissing right?"

"Damm right, you have." I lean in giving him a passion filled kiss.
