After a restless day Stuart was glad that it was evening. "Bro, I'm going to Allison's cafe to approach her. No, don't say anything. We'll deal with the consequences later," said a determined Stuart.

Jaden sighed, "Do what you want but don't come to me when you're neck deep in trouble," he said with a death glare. Rosalie didn't come out much in the evenings so he stayed in playing the new video game on Stuart's playstation. After a while, a bored Daxton and Denver too joined in. They were grounded and couldn't do anything else other than be jailed at home under their ma.

Stuart was done getting ready, adding a whiff of cologne all over him. "Don't you damage my playstation. Else I'll come home and finish all of you," he threatened and went downstairs.

His mom and dad sat in the living room, talking when they saw him. Before he could retrace his steps and run back to his room, his ma called him. "Stuart come and sit down here. Your dad wants to speak to you," she said solemnly.

Stuart rolled his eyes. They have to have this talk now when he was about to go and get his girl? "Ma can we have this talk another time please?" He pleaded.

"No, you come here now. Your dad and I can't see you wasting your life doing nothing," she yelled and Stuart dragged his feet and sat down before them, waiting for his death sentence.

Couldn't they wait for him to finish his graduation? He had to work all his life and provide for his batallion of kids but at least he could laze around now since he was yet to produce his own battalion.

"What? I'm listening," he said in a bored tone.

"Why don't you go with your dad and learn some work instead of lazing around the whole day?" Said his ma and his dad quietly watched him.

"I will after my exams, " he shrugged. "Let me enjoy my life ma."

"Haven't you enjoyed enough?" She asked with a glare.

"Enough? I've just started enjoying and now this," he grumbled at his ma.

"What have I done God that I got such a worthless bunch of kids?" Said his ma, getting up and going to the kitchen. Stuart watched her antics and then looked at his dad.

"So what plans do you have with your life right now?" Asked his dad.

"Right now I have some other plans, dad else I'll die a bachelor all my life. Once I get my girl I promise you that I'll do anything you say," he promised.

His dad thought for sometime. "What makes you think that any girl would like you?" Asked his dad and Stuart's eyes popped out.

"Why? I'm dashing, I'm sexy, I'm the most handsome creature in Houston. Why wouldn't girls like me?" He asked his dad who rolled his eyes.

"Okay, so Mr Dashing, even if you're able to woo your girl what will you do when she wants to go out on a date with you? Feed her air and serve water instead of drinks? 'Coz after your final exams I shall stop all your pocket money. So tell me how you will survive?" Asked his dad and Stuart's face fell. He hadn't thought of this before?

"You can't do that to me, dad. Isn't it your duty to see to the needs of your children?" He groaned.

"Exactly it is. You're not a child anymore Stuart. You're twenty-three and you need to get more productive. Do something with your life, son. I don't want you wasting it," said his dad.

Stuart closed his eyes. His dad had a point there,  he knew but he just wasn't ready for a 9-5 job. He just wasn't made for that. "Think about it, son. You have a month," said his dad,  getting up from his couch and going to his room. Stuart got up and walked outside to his car. He needed a drink to clear his head. He drove to the popular bar two blocks away. Going inside he sat at the counter and ordered a Smirnoff. He had just finished his first glass when a group of giggling girls entered the bar, monopolising everyone's attention towards them. He rolled his eyes and was about to look away when he saw her amongst them. Allison Green.

Stuart's heart thundered with excitement at the sight of the gorgeous girl of his dreams. After that talk with his dad he had completely forgotten his plan to woo her but it seemed fate had other plans for him. They all went to occupy a table at the far end of the bar. It seemed that they were celebrating a birthday of one of the girls. A lot of cheering and singing and drinking went on but Stuart's gaze was hooked onto Allison. She looked uncomfortable he noticed. A cake was brought in too and a bigger group of guys joined them.

Stuart felt a wave of jealousy sweep over his body at the sight of the guys. As far as he knew she had no boyfriend. He wouldn't let any of those guys approach her. He would have to make his move but how? He sat watching Allison drink and sing the birthday song for her friend while Stuart burned with jealousy.

She danced with the girls thankfully and ate the appetizers.  Then the group started moving to the dance floor and a peppy music blasted out loud at a special request. Stuart finished his vodka and got up to join them on the dance floor but to his dismay, Allison disappeared from the dance floor. He went to look for her all over the bar.

When he couldn't find her, he came back to his seat and ordered another drink for himself. Now what?

"One vodka soda with a splash of grapefruit juice and two limes," spoke a beautiful voice next to him. He turned to see and his breath caught in his throat at the sight of Allison standing beside him on the counter.

"Don't you think you've had enough?" He spoke slowly, his eyes not leaving her face. She turned towards him and froze.

The moment Allison saw the mesmerising blue eyes which had been haunting her the whole day, she was lost. Was it a coincidence or was this blue-eyed guy following her? She was very sure that this was the guy whose moustache fell into his coffee, she couldn't forget those eyes.

"H how did you know?" She stammered feeling nervous to stand beside him. Was he watching her?

He chuckled,"Sit with me and I'll tell you," he said in a husky voice. Allison couldn't think straight, her breath caught in her throat. This gorgeous man wanted her to sit with him! She couldn't believe it. All her life she had steered clear of boys and concentrated on her studies. Her mom was very strict. She had clearly told her that her education would be stopped the day she got low grades. So she always strived hard to get better grades.

However today at work, it was another waitress Clea's birthday, who had been with her for six long years and she couldn't decline. She quietly sat down on the stool beside the blue eyed hunk. Maybe after a talk she could get him out of her system.

Stuart watched her with hooded eyes, she was more gorgeous from this close. Her golden hair cascaded down her back, making him want to embed his face into them and touch their silken smoothness. Her eyes drew him in and made him feel more excited than he ever felt before. Her quivering pink lips sipped the drink that she had ordered. Her ripe curvy body, her full voluptuous breasts were all drawing him towards her. He was already in heaven being this close to her.

"Tell me now," she said, with wide innocent eyes. Stuart blinked hard to realize what she was talking about. He was totally lost in her and had completely lost track of the conversation. His dick was twitching with excitement, getting harder and harder as sinful thoughts invaded his senses.

"What do you want to know?" He asked, trying another way to remember what she was talking about.

"How do you know how much I drank?" She asked on a duh tone.

"I was watching you, how else?" He said with a smirk, finishing his drink off.

"Why?" She asked with red cheeks.

"Isn't it obvious?" He asked,  turning and staring into her eyes.

"Were you there at my cafe today?" She asked curiously.

"Took you so long to figure it out?" He asked her, his heart beating rapidly at the thought that she remembered his eyes. She blushed crimson.

"No I  figured it out long back. I just wanted to be sure," she said shyly. "Are you stalking me?"

Stuart's jaws dropped. Should he tell her the truth?
