Stella and Brandon, both of them are really confused about what is happening?
Stella was the first to break the silence between them.
"Zach is your man?" Stella came closer and pointed at the photo.
"Yes." was his short reply.
"He hasn't been receiving my calls nor he came to college today." Stella said concerned. "Do you know what happened? Is everything okay?" She asked.
Brandon's eyes became wide when he heard her saying that Zach hasn't came to college today. He had a job to do.
Brandon had already paid him 75 percent amount and believe me that's a huge amount of money.
"Hey?" Stella called him while snapping her fingers in front of his face.
Strange, he didn't even blink. He just looked at Stella.
"Is everything okay with you and Zach?"
"No, nothing is okay." Brandon said hurried up. "I must go now, see you soon, Hermosa.!" He literally called her Hermosa, yelling while walking to the Porsche.
"But..." Stella wanted ask something but never mind.
"What is this Hermosa he was calling you?" Madison asked from behind.
"None of your business..." Stella turned around and walked past her to the classroom. After all the classes were done, Stella came to the parking zone and Niall showed up.
"How do you and Mr Andre know each other?" he asked with concern.
"Who's Andre now?" she asked amused.
Niall just raised his eyebrows.
"Oh Brandon? Right, I forgot his name was Andre Brandon." She continues saying while sitting inside the car.
"Are you avoiding the question?" Niall came closer and put his hands on the window.
"No, I don't know him, neither does he." she said simply.
"You're lying Stella!" Niall yelled.
"Why are you yelling?" she asked.
"See...you are just trying to avoid the question. How do you know him, tell me?"
"I don't! I just met him...actually saw him at the bar!" she yelled this time.
"Which bar?"
"Pinewood." Stellas hands are on the stirring and she's kinda disturbed by his questions. "Do you even know who he is?" Niall asked angrily. "What happened between you guys?"
"Aren't you going too far? I said I didn't know him!" she is pissed off now.
"Then why did he called you Hermosa!? And why on earth did you guys looked at each other with full emotion?" he is trying to prove a point.
"What are you blabbering about Niall!? He is just flirty so he just calls me Hermosa playfully to piss me off or something maybe. And I didn't looked at him with eyes full of emotions it was just my heart was aching suddenly. Now if you excuse me I need to leave Beth must be waiting for me and I don't wanna be late." Saying that she started the car.
"Stop!" Niall punched the front of the car. "You're getting yourself in big trouble if you're dating him, Stella."
"Where is all of these coming from?" Stella asked. "I would never date him Niall... he's a....criminal." she said.
"Then why is he calling you Hermosa? He never even talks to girls! And here he is calling you beautiful, that too hot and... beautiful." Niall said.
"And what prove do you have on he doesn't even talk to girls?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
"Ask Zach. He's been working for and with him since one and a half year. He knows."
"Oh okay." Stella didn't bothered to think about it even once. Now she was busy thinking about where Zach must be and why'd he even lied about all the money?
"Bye." saying that Stella went away.
"I'm not gonna forgive you if you ditch Zach for that gangster." he said to himself.
Stella picked up Beth and went home. Strange, only Beth was talking and Stella was fully silent. She loves gossiping about what happened in college and hears from Beth about how her day was. But today she's just thinking about Zach, that he worked for a gangster.
[No wonder how he knew so many things about the star group.] Her mind reminded. He was the one who told him so many information about it.
Anywhoo!
She went home and started bathing.
On the other hand Brandon is also thinking about the day he saw Stella with Zach in the bar. But he just thought him as a friend of her. "Have you reached him?" Brandon asked his Co worker.
"No I can't." Williams answered.
"Try locating." He advised.
"Yes I will." He answered.
Brandon went to his hotel room and started taking a bath. He's been thinking a lot about 'Zach is Stella's boyfriend' ?
He poured himself a drink and said, "That unlucky Zach got lucky at last." Saying so he became confused on how he's acting, he shouldn't be thinking about a girl or a woman. He's not like the other men. All the woman keeps seducing him, married or unmarried, they aren't even loyal to their own man, how would they be loyal to him. He wants someone who would be loyal to him no matter what as he is.
He has not found his taste yet, someone who'd match with her soul, someone who would never judge him just like the others. Even without finding the one, he is staying loyal to his future wife. He wants to give all the pleasure in this whole wide world to that one and only, his future wife.
Sad he hasn't found her yet.
"But I felt something for Stella. Why? How?Just her being in a relationship with someone else made my heart ache as if someone was trying to snatch my heart away from my chest." He said after thinking all of those above.
Someone is knocking in the door. Brandon unlocked it by a remote.
"Come in." He said before taking a sip from the drink. Strange that he hasn't finished that yet.
"Sir, we found Zach's location, he's staying in a hotel in San Francisco. Looks like he's in a peaceful vacation with himself."
"Having a peaceful vacation while making me and Hermosa worried, hmm... " He smirks. "Book a flight the day after tomorrow."
"Yes sir." saying that he left.
Brandon decided to relax a little so he listened to calm musics that helped him sleep.
