*Girls Room*
Stella was drinking water when her phone rang.
"Stella? You have a call," Esther said. Stella went back to her bed and answered the call.
"Hi," the voice said. Stella recognized the voice.
"Hello..., Vincent?," Stella asked.
"Yeah," he said.
"You!! I thought i blocked you?," Stella asked rudely.
"Well, this is Mikey's number. I just want you to hear me out," he said, Stella breath out.
"What's he saying?," Pink asked. They were all staring at her.
"Okay, I'm listening," Stella said.
"Okay... i just want us to be friends, like good friends, no relationship for now. I'm a nice guy, you won't regret being friends with me," Vincent said and Stella was quiet for a while.
"Let's talk tomorrow, it's late," Stella said as she hang up.
"What did he say?," Esther asked.
"He want us to be friends," Stella said.
"Really?," Melinda said.
"Yeah, i said we'll talk tomorrow," Stella said.
"Nice!," Bianca said.
"But he won't get what he's looking for," Stella said as she laid on her bed.
*H.Ws lodge*
"I can't believe you're begging a girl," Mikey said laughed as he took his phone from Vince.
"It's none of your business," Vince said.
"I know you like the big ass," Mikey said with a wink and Vince eyes widen.
"No i don't... How could you even think that? I asked her for friendship because i want to get close to her and f**k her," Vince said.
"Really? That's not the way I'm seeing it," Bernardo said from his side. "I had a vision, you will be madly in love," Bernardo added.
"What?," Vince said in shock.
"I'm joking," Bernardo said as he burst out laughing, the rest also began to laugh.
"Look at his face, already scared," Mikey mocked.
"You guys are annoying!," Vincent shook his head.
*Girl's room*
8:00am...
They were already done with the trainings and they were back in their hostels to dress for class.
Vince had tried to talk with Stella in the gym but she had ignored him.
"Why are you so dressed up today?," Bianca asked.
"I chatted with Midas yesterday and we agreed to go out today. Just the two of us," Melinda smiled as she applied her lip gross.
"Hmm, God when?," Pink asked as she lifted her hands.
"Who are you chatting with?," Stella asked Esther.
"Somebody," Esther grinned and shone her white teeth.
Esther was chatting with Vincent. She sent the address of the barbing salon Melinda had told her about. Vince received it and he smiled.
*Mizz Yong Hotel*
Afternoon...
Midas and Melinda were kissing in the swimming pool. He was on his swim short and she was on a chic swim attire.
The kiss was hot and wild but Melinda suddenly pulled away and look down.
"What is it?," Midas asked.
"I just feel insecure.. I want to be the only girl for you. Promise me you won't have anything to do with any girl," Melinda said. He smiled as he took her hands and placed it on his shoulder.
"I promise Linda. I really like you, i won't get close to other girls," Midas lied.
Melinda smiled and continue kissing him while Midas caress her body.
*Street*
6:29pm...
Stella just closed from work and she saw Vince in his car right before the salon.
"Hey babe!," he smiled and his cheeks formed dimples.
"What are you doing here? Are you stalking me?," Stella asked.
"Is he your boyfriend?," One of the barbers asked with a curious voice.
"No!!," Stella shouted to his face and he shivered before he left. Vince chuckled.
"Mind if i drop you at school?," Vincent asked.
"No. I don't need your help!," Stella said.
"But it's late and it's hard to find a cab around here," Vince said.
"I can take care of my self, thanks dude," Stella said sharply before she began to walk away.
*****
Stella couldn't find a cab and she had to walk though the streets. She looked at her watch and sigh, it was getting late.
If Melinda came to work, they would had ride home together.
Meanwhile, Vincent was watching her as he drove from some distance behind her. But he received a call from his mom and he got distracted.
Stella was already feeling cold and she was rubbing her arms. Some men in the streets saw her and their eyes widen in lust. They immediately surround her.
"Looking good baby," one of them said. Fear seeped into Stella's system when she saw them. She ignored them and made to walk but they got in front of her.
"Leaving go soon? How about you have fun with us," another one said as he touched her ass.
"Le-leave me alone," Stella said and she was about to walk away when one of them pulled her hair.
"You aren't going anywhere!," he said. They began to touch her body but Stella slap one of them.
"Bitch!!," they cursed and one of them slapped her hard on the face. Stella screamed as they pulled her hair, tears was forming in her eyes.
When Vince finished speaking with his mom, he looked ahead and his eyes widen when he saw the group of thugs and what they're doing to Stella.
He immediately got out of his car and ran to them.
"You're gonna satisfy us tonight baby," one of them said with his ruthless voice but he immediately received a punch on his face.
"You fool!," they cursed and they descended on Vince, wanting to attack him.
Vincent glanced at Stella and he saw her looking hurt, anger seeped into him and he activated his fight mode as he surprisingly grab their hands and kick two guys simultaneously, and they fell to the ground.
Another two wanted to punch him but he dodged and he grabbed their heads and bumbed it together, they started seeing double as they fell to the floor.
"Mind your business!!," The last one shouted as he took a log from the ground and was about to hit Vince but he dodged and kicked him on his directly on his manhood. The man shouted as the log fell from his hand.
Vincent took the log and began to hit all the five men. They were groaning in pain as they managed to stand up and began to run away.
"Yeah, keeping running you morons!," Vince cursed. He dropped the log and cooled down before he went to Stella, she was crying.
"Hey.. It's okay. I'm sorry," he said as he pulled his jacket and wore it on her, Stella stared at him.
"Thanks for saving me," Stella muttered and Vincent saw as she began to slump, He immediately caught her.
"Stella..? Are you okay?," He shook her arm but she was not answering, seems she fainted.
Vince looked at his watch and saw it was 7:21, he carried her in a bridal style as he walked to his car.
*Girl's room*
Melinda was already back in the hostel but Stella was no where to be seen. Also, the gate was already locked.
"Where could Stella be? She's not answering her calls?," Esther asked.
"She supposed to be back by now? I pray nothing happened to her," Melinda said with a panic voice. She had already called their boss and their fellow barbers but they said they didn't know where she is.
"Esther, just keep on calling... Maybe she will pick up," Bianca requested.
"Ok," Esther nodded and dialed Stella's number again.
"I hope she is alright. I don't want anything bad to happen to her," Pink said with a worried voice.
