Excuses

"And they've all-" Alex waved his fingers in the air trying to demonstrate something and Princeton laughed because he understood.

"Of course she has did it with all of them. I mean, isn't that what people in a relationship do?" Princeton asked.

Alex nodded his head vigorously. He never liked Whitney one bit anyway, infact, if Whitney was to be standing here right now, he will disappear into thin air.

They're like darkness and light, they can never meet. His main attention is on Britney. Right from day one, he has been trying to court on her but Britney is just too hard to get on with.

She shu him away whenever he purposes or express his inner feelings. She doesn't like him. She hates him because he is a womanizer like her brothers and he knew it.

Though he is ready to change from the bad habit of his life if only she could give him the chance to love her.

Several times has she rebuke him for bumping in her way, countless times will he not give up. And if the truth manage to spill its way out and her brothers finds out about his flirt on their sister, he doesn't care anymore. Let anything happen. He is ready to die and risk his life to have Britney for himself. And he won't stop chasing her until she gives in.

"Whatever, I'll be heading back to LA by weekend." Princeton informed after a long time of silence.

Alex raised his eyebrows, "What for? It's not even yet holiday break."

"Hmm, I know. I'm only going there to get my other car." He stated before looking at Alex. "Remember the brand new red Acura RDX, I talked about?"

"2022 model?" Alex raised his brow.

"Actually I've bought it two weeks ago." When Alex widened his eyes in shock and gasped, he chuckled and patted his shoulder, "It'll be more than shocking to you when I ride it down here to campus."

Taking his hand off his mouth, Alex gasped, "Whoa! Where to go, dude. You're awesome! That's a premium sport crossover SUV."

"Uh huh," Princeton shrugged his shoulders with pride. When something good lands in his way, he always keeps his ego at the peak. "You'll see by the time all these college girls starts falling on my feet. I'm gonna fuck them to hell."

"But how are you going to do this? I mean, what will you tell your parents before taking your leave from here? You have to take ease with the type of excuse you'll give. Remember you have desperate siblings." Alex wondered.

After thinking for a while, Princeton snapped his fingers for the bulb on top of his head. "Ah, got an idea. How about I tell them that I'm coming home to get one of my forgotten text book?"

Alex rolled his eyes and smack his forehead with his right palm. His friend is such a dumbass. How could he fetch such cheap excuses? His family is rich just like his. What if they suggest he buys a new book here in college rather than wasting a flight ticket home? "Awful, it won't work, man."

"Okay, how about-"

"Tell them that you'll be coming home to get some of your credentials you'll use before examination. Simply clear!" Alex suggested.

"Bing!" Princeton snapped again. He gave Alex a brotherly hug and scattered his hair like a dog. "You're a genius, Alex."

Slapping his hand off his hair, Alex frowned, "Hey, I'm not a dog."

Princeton took a deep breath to satisfaction and slumped his back on the big tree, "Ah Alex, you are such a time saver. I would have spent the whole day thinking of what to say. And you know very well that Kingston, Winston, nick and Bill won't have given me the same idea as you did."

Well, Alex knew that Princeton was obviously lying. He would have better said he was scared to tell his brothers and cousins about his soon leave and what they might ask in return.

Ah, those guys are not fond of taking bribery before action. If worse might come to worse and they had an issue in the future, his brothers and cousins might have to spill his ass out and Princeton knows what that means.

His father won't take things likely with him when he comes to find out that his son only left school to switch cars all in the name of he wants to entice women.

"So, are you going by air or land?" Alex asked.

Shrugging his shoulders, Princeton brushed his jawline with his thumb while contemplating, "Well umm, I think by air when I'm leaving and land when I'm coming, right?"

"Yup!" Alex nodded.

Patting his shoulder, Princeton grinned as if he knew the next incoming words from Alex's mouth, "Don't worry, I'll get you something good for keeping this as a secret from my brothers, sisters and cousins."

As if he nevermind at all, Alex smiled and shook his head, "Come on, man. What did you take me for? I'm not childish, okay?"

Princeton raised his eyebrows, "And who called you childish? Am just being nice here. It's a friendly reward and when you get it, please don't spill it out."

Alex nodded his head vigorously. Of course he won't. "So when will you return?"

"Uhhh-on Sunday evening?" Princeton grinned.
