CHAPTER 9

“You’re the girl I saved two years ago” Nathaniel said.

Roxanna stared at his face, completely speechless. Their faces were just inches apart which made his hot breath car-ss her face when he spoke.

She got back to her senses and then stood properly. He released her.

“Uh yes. My name is Roxanna Martinez, nice meeting you” Roxanna said.

“Nathaniel Davis” He replied with a smile revealing his dimples.

Roxanna looked down as she felt her heart race.

*I thought I was over it. Why now?* She said inwardly.

“You’re the Roxanna the others were talking about” Nathaniel said.

“Yeah, thanks for saving me and also for the other time” She said.

“No big deal, come on let’s go and meet the others” He said and they began walking to where the others are.

Roxanna kept stealing glances at Nathaniel.

They reached where the others are and they have them a suspicious look.

“How come you two are coming back together and at the same time.” Chris asked with a smirk on his l-ips.

“It’s not what you’re thinking you perverted mind” Nathaniel said and they laughed.

They walked out of the hall heading to the car, the bodyguards cleared way for them and they waved at their fans before entering their respective cars. Dylan decided to go back home.

Well Nathaniel is a graduate and he grew is his career as a musician, he also grew in fame, wealth and fans.

Chris is now the deputy CEO of his father’s company.

Mason is a top model, the most sort out in the country.

Dylan is a highly recommended doctor

And Kelvin is a sports star.

In short the boys made it in life. As for the girls they’re still in their first year in university.

The car parked in front of a club. They got out of their cars and walked in the club. The people present in the club almost went crazy as they saw celebrities enter at once.

They walked up to and sat down on empty table reserved for VIPs.

They ordered some drinks and began drinking while chatting happily.

Roxanna was sitting close to Nathaniel. She tried to ignore him but it was too hærd as she ended up stealing glances at him.

“So guys let’s tell each other our little secret. Who’s your crush or your love?” Chris asked.

“I have a crush but sadly he loves my best friend” Jennifer said sadly and Nathaniel gasped.

“Oh can’t believe my baby sister is crushing.” Nathan teased and Jennifer scoffed

“As for me I don’t, I prefer being free” Chris said.

“Well I’m confused, I don’t know if it’s a love or admiration” Roxanna said

The girls looked at each other smiling knowingly.

“Well I don’t” Catherine said.

“Same here” Olivia said

“Me too” Suzy said.

Mason glanced at Yvonne and sighed.

“Let’s just say mine is impossible love” He said.

“Well as for me I do love someone very much, I just hope she accepts me” Kelvin said and Jennifer felt a huge pang of jealousy.

“As for me I don’t have anyone I hold dear to the heart” Nathaniel said and Roxanna smiled discreetly

“I don’t know” Yvonne said.

They discussed for some minutes when suddenly a music began playing.

“I want to dance Suzy let’s go” Olivia said, they stood up and went to the dance floor as they began dancing.

“Will you dance with me?” Chris said to Catherine said.

They walked to the dance floor and began dancing.

“Will you dance with me Jenny?” Kelvin said which startled her. She nodded shyly and they walked away.

“Hey, come on. Let’s dance” Nathaniel said to Roxanna lending her his hand.

She took it and they walked away.

It was only Mason and Yvonne. Mason looked at her and then looked away.

“Do you want to dance?” Yvonne said which shocked Mason.

“Um, I don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable or something” Mason said.

“But I want to dance” She said looking down.

“Alright” He slowly stretched his hands for her to take. She stared at it and then looked at him for some minutes.

She slowly placed her hand on his and he held it. She stared at her hand and looked at him, then smiled at him.

Mason stared at her smiling face.

*This is the first time in two years she smiled at me* Mason thought.

They stood up and went to the dancefloor.

After some minutes, the music stopped playing and then it switched to slow dance…

Everybody held on to their partners and began swaying to the music

Mason stared at Yvonne, not knowing if he should hold on to her or not.

Yvonne looked at the other dancing and she closed her eyes before placing her hands on his chest. Mason then held her wa-ist and they began swaying to the rhythm of the music.

He felt her trembling as they were dancing, he then brought his l-ips to her ears.

“Everything will be okay, I won’t harm you trust me” He whispered reassuringly in her ears.

Yvonne raised her head and looked at him. She nodded and then placed her head on his chest.

*I feel safe in his arms, like no one is going to harm me* Yvonne thought.

*Words can’t explain how much I’m happy that she has finally learnt to trust me* Mason thought.

On the other side of dancefloor, Roxanna was dancing with Nathaniel.

Her heart beat seemed to increase to 100.

He raised his hands and fixed her hair properly. Roxanna just stared at him, completely mesmerized by his handsomeness.

Jennifer was just blushing really hærd while Kelvin well he was cool.

When it was getting late, they went back home in their respective cars.

Roxanna took a bath and changed in her night wear before falling heavily on the bed thinking about the day of today.

She smiled happily as she remembered Nathaniel.

“Is this what we call love?” She said to no one in particular.

“This isn’t the time to be thinking about love. Right now, I have a mission to accomplish” She said.

“Tomorrow, I’m going to meet the commissioner. I have some questions to ask him concerning my father” She said and closed her eyes drifting off to sleep.

“Today was wonderful!!” Jennifer said as she sat down on Nathaniel bed.

“Is it wonderful because of the concert or is it wonderful because you spent time with Kelvin?” Nathaniel asked as he wore his shirt.

“What do you mean by Kelvin” She asked a little bit uneasy.

“You like him do you?” Nathaniel said as she kept quiet.

“I take your silence as a yes then” Nathaniel said.

“But what will I do if he loves Roxanna” Jennifer said.

“Then just let it be” Nathaniel said.

Jennifer bade her goodnight to Nathaniel before walking out of his room. He laid on his bed and smiled as Roxanna came to his mind.

“She’s cute though” He thought as he drifted off to sleep.

________Next morning.

Roxanna got up very early. She brushed her teeth and took bath. She walked out of the bathroom and rubbed her cream before wearing a white top and a black jeans with white sneakers. She brushed her hair and styled it then applied her lip gloss before walking out of the room with her purse.

She went downstairs and saw her new family having breakfast.

“Good morning everyone” She greeted.

“Roxanna, you’re up early today. We don’t have classes today why the hurry” Suzy said.

“Actually I have to go somewhere important right now. See you guys later, love y’all” She said and walked out of the house.

She entered her white Ferrari and drove off heading to the police station.

She parked it and came out of it. Immediately the passerby saw her scre-ms where heard as they rushed to her side demanding for autograph, picture all the likes

She took pictures and signed autograph as many as possible before leaving them as she entered the police station.

“Excuse me, can I meet the commissioner?” She asked to a cop.

“Sure Miss Martinez, he’s in his office right now. Its the office just there” He said while pointing at a door.

“Thanks” She replied and went to it

She knocked on it gently.

“Come in” A voice said.

She opened the door and walked in.

“Good morning commissioner” Roxanna greeted

“Good morning miss, please have a seat.” He said and she did as hr requested.

“How may I help you?” The commissioner asked.

“My name is Roxanna Martinez, I’m the daughter of Mr Martinez” She said and his eyes w¡dened

“I want to ask if they was a dangerous mission my father was involved in before he died” Roxanna asked.

“Yes, he was in charge of apprehending some drug smugglers but they got away.” He said

“They got away? Do you know any thing about it, like the location, the name of the person, pictures. anything” Roxanna asked.

“Well he told me that they were located at a cafeteria down the street” Commissioner said.

“Okay, thanks. Have a nice day” She stood up and made to go.

“I don’t know why you’re asking all these but please be careful” He said.

Roxanna nodded and walked out of the office. She boarded her car and drove to the direction he told her.

She got down and truly it was cafeteria. She entered in it and walked to a waiter.

“Excuse me?” She said.

The waiter gasped as he saw Roxanna standing in front of him.

“How…may I help you?” The waiter stuttered.

“Can I meet the owner of this cafeteria?” Roxanna asked with a smile.

“Sorry but the owner of the club is abroad. It’s his nephew who’s in charge right now but unfortunately he’s away” He said.

“Okay, I’ll just come back another time.” Roxanna said and walked out of the cafeteria with an angry look on his face.

“F**k!” She muttered.

“What are you so angry about?” Someone said from behind her.

She turned to see Nathaniel.

“Hi Nathaniel” She said.

“Hey Roxy, never knew you drink in this cafeteria. This is actually my favorite” He said with a smile.

“Really? Actually I came in search of the owner, I have some unfinished business with the person” Roxanna said.

“Okay, I’m kinda bored. Let’s hang out would you?” Nathaniel said.

“Sure!!” She replied.

They boarded her car and drove off.

After Suzy finished her breakfast, she took her bath and dressed before walking out of the house.

She went to a boutique inorder to buy some clothes when suddenly someone snatched her purse and made to out of the shop.

He caught him by the arm and twist it to his back then pinned him on the wall

“You think you can steal my purse and go free?” Suzy said.

She took back her purse and made the person face her.

She narrowed her eyes as she saw a cute guy with greenish eyes.

The guy stared down at her with a cold expression.

“Who are you?” She asked.

“I don’t talk to dump people” He replied and looked away.

Suzy fumed with rage as he said that.

“Do you know who I am? I can…”

“What will you do apart from calling your dumb dad and sending me to jail” He cut her off

Suzy stared at him, speechless. Its the first time someone spoke so rudely to her.

She released him and looked down.

“Why did you do that?” She asked.

“I don’t speak to dumb people” He snapped and walked away.
