Roxanne POV
Today is the first practice day in the contest. I feel so uneasy moving around alone so I'm always with Bella.
I saw Chris coming out from somewhere in his big jogger trouser and black polo with his hand in his pocket. He looks unhappy. I wondered what's wrong with him. I miss him and I feel so bad for telling him not to talk to me again. I was so lost looking at him and he turned his face to look at me. "Miss can you stop staring?" I heard him say and he turned away immediately picking a call. I felt embarrassed even though I was the only one there.
"How did he know I was staring if he wasn't looking at me too" I said to Bella after narrating what happened while she was away "Did you not know that your eyes were piercing through his skin" she said it more like a statement
"I feel like strangling you right now" I hissed and focused on the dance teacher.
About three and half hours later, we had learnt two dance routines. We were done practicing for the day and we were going to our respective rooms.
"Bella I'm not going to let Chris see my vulnerable side again. I think he doesn't like me anymore"
"Why do you think so?" She asked opening the door to our room
"Since the day I told him to stay away from me he has been avoiding so much"
"What do you want him to do? To keep on being clingy and you'll keep on pursuing him"
"That's not what I'm saying. No one seem to understand me this days. I'm so frustrated" I said scattering my hair
"Things are not going your way doesn't mean people don't understand"
"Fuck you"
I picked my phone to call aunty Bethany "hi auntie "
"Hi sweetheart how are you doing?"
"I'm fine and you?"
"I'm fine also how's the competition going"
"Fine I just wanted to ask about your faring. I'm glad you're fine"
"Thank you niece my regards to your friends and Bella"
"Ok bye auntie love you"
"Love you too" I ended the call and stepped out
Chris POV
I thought staying away from Roxanne help me bring her back to me since Bella told me she liked me too but it's making things get awkward between us. I can't even talk to her or look at her. This love thing is a set up. I'm so emotional down these days always thinking about her. I even forgot about Tyler until he called me at the practice venue about the Miss I met in the hospital. It turned out she had a thing against Tyler's stepmom so she won't be helping us.
No I have a lot of problems at hand. Roxanne not talking to me, Kathy in the hospital, James personal assistant I promised to help him find, my dad heard I threatened the manager without his permission and my mom is asking my dad to send me to school abroad because I'm causing her lot of troubles ðŸ˜
I screamed to ease my heavy heart.
"What's wrong Chris?" I heard a familiar voice say at the door. I ran to peep through the doorhole to confirm. It was her. I was so happy that I forgot to open the door. "What's going on inside Chris?" She said again worriedly. I opened the door and pulled her into a very tight hug. She removed her body from my body after awhile and turned to leave. I jammed the door so fast and pressed her against the door. She struggled to free herself but she couldn't. She raised her head up to look at my face and I pecked her lips. I smiled and she got more angry. She continue staring into my polo. "Short cutie" I said as I hugged her again. She was still struggling to free herself and I carried her up. She's so stubborn that she struggled till I dropped her on the bed. She tried rolling away and I laid ontop of her to stop her. She looked at me and I stole a kiss. She was getting angrier now and she pushed me that I lost balance and fell to the other side of the bed. I stood up quickly and said "Roxie pls don't leave me again" she looked at me and said "were you not avoiding me?"
"You asked me to"
"Then keep on staying away from me then"
"Look into my eye and say you want me to leave you and I promise not to disturb you again" I said and her face countenance changed to a bit gloomy. She turned and looked into my eye. I stared back and prayed she won't said it. She opened her mouth to said something and she closed it back. I kissed her and she kissed me back too. I was so happy she was going to let me in her life. Thank God I screamed.
After some minute, we let go of each other and hugged. "I'm so happy" I said "I'm happy too" she replied
"So are you going to be my girlfriend?" She smiled and said "No" I became sad immediately. "Don't be sad. After the whole saga of Nana, I'll think about being your girlfriend" she said and walked out of my room
"Fuck" I said hitting my hand in my bed. My phone rang. It is a video call from Tyler. He added James too "Hi James Hi Tyler"
"Hi Chris"
"You don't look happy. What's wrong?" James asked
"Roxanne just turned me down" I replied
"Really?? You guys are now talking" Tyler said
"Yes we started talking just today. Guess what? We even kissed and I asked her will you be my girlfriend and she said no until the saga of nana stops." I said
"If I was Roxanne I would have said no too"James said
"Like you're going to be performing with nana right in her presence and your ex is threatening her aunt's life" Tyler said
"Who told you this much about the whole matter?"I asked Tyler
"Did I not say Chris was hiding this stuffs from me intentionally" Tyler said to James
"This is not the time to argue Gees" James said rubbing his forehead in frustration "Nana is with Tyler's stepmom right now"
"What has that got to do with this? And why is she with my dad's wife?" Tyler asked confused
"That is the puzzle we are here to solve not to talk about Roxanne. After the saga, you'll definitely have her" James replied
"So why is nana with Mrs Roberta? There has to be reason Nana will go to meet her former nanny. I mean she hated her" I replied
James- so she's Nana's former nanny
Tyler- how did my dad meet her in the first place?
Chris- Nana told me her nanny has always wanted to marry one man until she heard that he was going to get married with some else and swore that she will by all means marry the man of her dream
James- funny right? You knew so much about her even when you guys were fake dating
Chris- she took it serious
James- So wait what was the reason why the lady that wanted to sign for Kathy's transplant refuse to cooperate again?
Tyler- she said she had something against my dad's wife so she can't help us
James- do you know what she had against her?
Chris- she refused to tell us
James- what's her information? Let's know if it would connect to the reason why Nana is with her
Chris- I don't know anything about her
Tyler- I remember her Buh I can't recollect her name. I'll try and check her information on our staff records at home
James- good and Chris, tonight as soon as nana gets to the hotel try and get some things from her
Chris- on it, inspector James
James& Tyler- (laughs)
James- okay guys bye I have to go
Tyler & James- bye CEO
