"I've not seen him like I don't know for how long ?" she said.
They were talking about Tommy's disappearance as they left the house to leave.
"I probably might know where he is " he said as they turned a sharp corner. She looked up to him eyes wide.
"You do ? Where?" she was happy to hear that but also worried to the 'place' where he could be .
"Let's go to him then" he said as he held her hand as they headed a dark street ,looking around ,all the buildings around looked like clubs. They walked and reached a certain door. But it was very quiet .
He stopped and looked at her. "Ready Ria " he asked .
"Mn" .
He opened the door for her and they both entered. Compared to outside ,the inside had blaring music. Nikki Minaj's Anaconda was playing. People were dancing everywhere around her. Tristan still held her hand at least more firmer this time. There were girls in despicable clothing all-around her.
"Where Tristan ?" she asked getting impatient.
If this was where Tommy was ,what the hell was he doing here.
"Wait " he said as we approached the counter.
A lady with short hair a small tight pencil skirt and a blue blouse smiled at Tristan.
"Trissy ,you're here " she said.
Trissy !? ,sn't that a girls name. Ria smiled at herself.
"Hi ,please quincy stop calling me that " he spoke irritated.
"Don't get angry Trissy " she said amusedly then looked at Ria " who do we have here ?"
"Am Ria " Ria was quick to answer.
"Hi am Quincey but call me Quinn " she was very friendly and Ria already liked her.
"Your usual Tristan " she asked.
"No ,I'm looking for someone , Tom Astoria ,the newbie " he asked.
Newbie!?
"Oh Tommy ,he must be busy somewhere "
"My friend here wants to see him " he told Quinn.
"He's somewhere upstairs ,bye I need to go now " she said as she dragged away by some man to another room and you could guess what they went to do.
They went upstairs peeking through some of the rooms. Until he stopped in front of the last door's room.
He opened and gestured for her to enter. There he was all tall and handsome with nothing but his boxers ,he was on top of a blonde kissing her like his life depends on it. The blonde was in a bikini that still shown most of her body. They were so into it that they didn't notice their presence. Ria was unable to speak or move .They continued with their actions then he felt Tristan grasp her hand and pull her away from the place.
She had never seen so much skin in her life.
"You should drink something " he said as he led her to the lower floor.
**
We stayed in the bar for very long ,she talked with Tommy but most of the time he avoided her question but one thing was for sure ,he was not coming back to the university any time soon. He had some family problems which she was yet to know.
Her dad had called but she rejected the call.She knew he was worried sick.
She was holding onto Tristan's hand as they trecked home.
"What happened at home ?" he asked.
She kept quiet for a while .
"He wants me to engaged " her anger had already began to bubble somewhere deep within her.
"How old are you ??" he asked.
"16" she wanted to see his reactions but he didn't even flinch "why aren't you surprised ?" she asked while looking at his stunning face.
"That's obviously an impossibility " he smiled as he looked at her.
"Am Twenty three " she whispered as she looked ahead ,they were already at his door.
"Do you want to get engaged ?"
"What sort of a question is that ,obviously not " she replied irritated " am really tired ,goodnight I have to go back home tomorrow "
Knock!
She turned around quickly ,she knew that it was obviously her cunning Father. She walked to the door even before Tristan moved. But to her surprise it wasn't him but another guy who had eyes like Tristan's.
He smiled at Ria and she moved back .
Why was he scaring her yet he hadn't done anything bad.
She already felt some warmth behind her . He held her hand and pushed her behind him.
"What do you want khalifa ?" he asked ,seriousness written on his face.
"Calm down bro I just came to greet my brother's new princess" he looked behind Tristan and looked at me "what a beauty ,I hope you live Princess ,he's an animal when..." even before he could complete his statement he was already flying across the street.
Ria's eyes were wide open ,then she gaped at Tristan .
"Go away Ria " he said angrily.
The sweet and charming sound of his voice was not there it was an angry commanding voice .He looked back when she did not even move. "GO " he ordered, then she saw something that she thought could never happen. The colour of his pupils changed colour to purple then back to black in a split second.
Her eyes widened in fear or surprise ,she did not even know.
"You made me damage my beautiful girl " khalifa said as he was already at the door again " bye princess I wish you luck "
Then she looked at Khalifa ,that voice was obviously one of the guys who kidnapped her.
He smiled and left.
She turned to walk away.
