CHAPTER 2: GOING WILD
Nova got off the last scene and walked down the stairs of the theatre room with a frowned face. Everyone downstairs welcomed her with a smile.
"Wow!" The producer said. "The success of this whole movie was because of your efforts Nova. The school owes you gratitude!"
She nodded and went out of the building with a forced smile. Quincy followed her because she knew what her pain was.
"Baby girl!" She caught up with her. "There is a party I'll invite you to get off your stress!"
"Good idea." Nova nodded. The two went over to change.
After an hour, they arrived at a club but there was a queue. Nova frowned as she stood on the line. Quincy came after silently. The queue was long and it was getting so boring. Nova stepped hard on the floor her heels made a kissing sound. She felt jealous.
"Fine if you wanted to come and kill me here!" she said sadly. Quincy didn't say anything.
"Hey!" Patricia patted her. "Am jealous of how great you are. Everyone is hailing you back in the school. Am sure you already got a ticket to join the film immediately after school. You won't have to hustle so much!"
"Whatever!" Nova said differently. A sports car stopped and few men opened the door. A 1.9 metres tall guy walked out and moved to the front of the line just when it was her turn to enter.
"What does he think he is? Am fucking tired standing here already!" Nova went wild suddenly while taking steps forward.
"What?" Quincy was shocked. "Is this the best way people deal with heart breaks? Causing a fuss?"
But she didn't listen. She went ahead and tapped on the tall well-built man. He turned and looked at her with distant black eyes. He raised his thick eyebrows.
"How may I help you miss?" he asked almost politely but more sexily. Nova bit her lower lip and tightened the coat around her.
"mister, you didn't see the queue right? We've been standing out here for almost an hour and I won't tolerate you just jumping to the front. Didn't you see us?" she retorted.
The man just looked at her calmly. Then he innocently licked his lower pink lip and made her to swallow hard. He just didn't see her struggling. Quincy came to pull her away but she didn't leave.
"Usher, unless you're out of your mind, you won't attend to him first!" she said. The usher looked at her shocked. The men who came with the man came and surrounded her but the man signalled them to stop. Quincy spoke first. "Sir, am sorry she's mentally unstable right now."
"Am mentally stable!" Nova pushed her away.
"Listen to me, there are many ways to nurse a heartbreak than to defend big figures ok?" Quincy forced Nova away while the man still watched. In fact, he stepped aside and let others enter.
"So what if am nursing a heartbreak? Are you comfortable with someone just walking ahead?" She asked and then sighed.
"I'll pay for her ticket!" the man said and instantly paid. Nova didn't see that as a big deal. She thought he was simply making up for being so rude walking ahead of others. After paying for Nova and her two friends, he waited for them to enter before he entered.
"You're such an outstanding being lol!" Patricia said. Nova walked to a free stool and sat around the empty table. Although she had never drank, she was going to drink herself stupid to get the depression out of her mind. It had been three weeks and she hadn't gotten over the fact that her previous relationship just ended. Even though they had never gotten intimate, she had given that relationship her best.
"One more glass please!" Nova hit the glass on the table. Quincy filled it.
"To more happiness!" Patricia shouted before clicking the glasses. On the dance floor, everyone enjoyed.
"Do you know what you just did?" Quincy asked Nova who didn't seem to care. "That is the great heir of the Ranvier family, Yuvan. But you just dared talk right in his face? Just one command and you're dead!"
"Fine! Whatever!" Nova gulped down the glass of wine and a tear slipped from her eyes. "I'll apologize and let you be happy!"
"It's not about me being happy, it's about you being safe. Even after Robin broke your heart, you have to live on. You can't mess around with everyone!" Quincy was being overprotective as she always was. "I don't like it when you go wild for him..."
"Enough!" Nova became mad again and slammed the glass on the table so hard it cracked. "Fine... I'll get over the breakup thing today. It was a life full of happiness..." she suddenly became emotional. "He pretended to love me the way I am, a perfect theatre student! He praised me for that first series we produced during my first year in the university. I wish I could have known men are all scam!" she drank another glass and waves her hand in the air. "I must get over this. It's killing me slowly!"
She walked over to the dance floor. A man who had been watching her for a distance moved to the dance floor also. One stranger wanted to pull her to himself but Yuvan came in between them and pulled her. She didn't care much, she started dancing. With this man, she felt herself get extremely happy.
Quincy and Patricia closed their mouth in shock. "She can really risk everything! Yuvan isn't just anyone, he the heir of the Ranvier family." Quincy said.
"His family owns the car company in the country, controls the source of oil and I also heard that recently I heard they control the diamond from the south." Patricia said.
"Talk less of owning casinos" Quincy added.
"Umm.." Nova started. "Am sorry about what I did earlier." She felt his face with the back of her hand. "I know it's you, Yuvan."
"No... Am the one who is supposed to be sorry." He said sincerely rely.
"No... I am. Am just a nobody trying to make a name for myself in this world." She smiled bitterly. "I was too confused to provoke you. I know I have no power to stand against you, or against anyone else." She said.
