Vroom
A sleek black motorcycle speed raising dust as it moved very fast down the road. It stopped right in front of a building gate touching the hems of Winter's cloth.
Winter frowned coldly and snorted as she steadied the coffee in her hand.
What a grand entrance! Now everyone is looking at them and Joseph will be suspicious, no way would she go out with a new guy just after getting dumped.
"Good morning" she said with a black face.
"Mm" He nodded.
Her mouth twitched heavily hearing him reply in the same manner to heShe couldn't see his face under the helmet and isn't sure what expression he has since he wore a mask yesterday night. He is Nyron's friend from the group his name is Devon.
She had gotten the information of the yellow eyes freshman from Prince last night. He lived in a villa in the restricted living area for the lower class, his parents are the highest among the senior executive under the board,they report directly to the board. He is the highest privileged kid apart from the board's kids.
His villa is very far from the rest of the houses which is closer to her dorm through portals, to reach his villa she will have to take a personal means of transport or use nature's gift..her legs, she chose the former with no hesitation and asked Nyron for help but he said he is very busy with an event today and would send a friend to help her.
What she didnt know is he would send his weirdest and most unapproachable friend.
"Do you know where we are going?"
"Yes, Nyron explained" He answered with a tone closed for anymore question.
Winter walked back to his motorcycle and sat down.
"Here" he handed her a helmet.
"Thank you" she replied gratefully. She would pass by her mother's house later and is afraid they would recognize her.
Devon started the motorcycle and drove off very fast. She quickly held his waist tightly, she didn't want to fall off and be possibly forgotten.
He finally stopped after a half hour of driving. He stopped in front of a low-key but luxurious villa.
She stood up took off her helmet handing it back to Devon.
"Thank you, am going in you can go back"
She plans to walk back to her hostel.
Devon lifted up the helmet and Winter couldn't help but anticipate. She almost dropped her jaw when he finally removed it all.
This man is still wearing a mask under the helmet.
What is wrong with him?!
He must be very ugly for him to always wear a mask. However his voice sounded very good and melodious despite the deep and chill in his voice. Well no one is perfect and she didn't care about this one of his imperfection.
What interested her are his eyes, very beautiful and odd. They are are mixture of of different colors..yellow,brown and cream. They blended perfectly and beautifully completely making people drawn to them. The private room light was dim last night so she didn't see them, seeing them now made her instantly like them.
But she still has that indifferent expression.
"Let's go in together" He said and stood up.
"No need" Winter refused decisively. No one can know the what her motive for meeting with the kiss stealer is.
He snapped his fingers and his motorcycle turned invisible another way of blocking any way out.
"Come on" He walked forward to the house.
Winter was stunned for a second before running to catch up to him.
"As soon as I start talking to him,you will excuse us" said Winter.
He squinted his eyes and leaned down. He is very tall that Winter had to look up to meet his eyes and she is taller than most boys.
"Why?" He asked with a hint of something Winter couldn't grasp in his voice.
"None of your business" she said coldly. Who is he to ask?
"What if he takes you in there and.." He suddenly stop.
"And what?" Winter asked her ears had turned red from the subtle hint in his words.
"And chop you to pieces, Nyron will kill me" He said calmly and stood upright.
"You.." she choked.
"What about me?" He asked.
Winter could have sworn those sets of words usually mean what she was thinking and is very sure seeing the curve in one of his eyes. He must definately be laughing at her.
"I don't care! Just give us some privacy"
"Okay"
He said with that odd tone again.
She is not going to do those sort of things with him just ask questions. But she couldn't care less to explain herself to this man that is definately laughing at her.
Winter pressed the door bell and waited for a while till someone came out.
The person is a maid of the mansion and she respectfully bowed upon seeing the guest.
"Good morning young miss Powers, please come in" she said
Winter shook her head
"Good morning am looking for Clinton?" Winter said politely without any young lady airs.
"I will go check if the second young master is in the house" She bowed and leave.
After the maid left Winter heard a weird word.
"We" Devon said suddenly startling her.
"We?" Winter furrowed her brows confused looking around for anyone or anything.
"We are looking for that boy not only you" He replied not even turning to look at her.
If he had turned he would see the incredulous look on Winter's face.
"I am looking for him, you just tagged along" Winter replied with a sneer.
"You and Nyron were supposed to look for him but he is replaced with me so we are looking for him not only you"
Devon replied and Winter was tongue tied unable to refute him.
She ignored him and instead waited for the maid.
The maid came back few minutes later.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. This house is a maze that changes every time the door opens that's what kept me late" The maid explained since there is nothing to hide about her master's house, it was built by Josephina Powers herself so her daughter would know about this and might have just been testing her.
"So what about Clinton?" Winter asked.
"Am terribly sorry, the second young master isn't in the house" she replied.
"When do you think he will be back?"
"I don't know but probably the day after tomorrow"
He would be too busy with class by then.
"Okay, thank you so much" Winter said and went back to the motorcycle.
Is he really not home or just avoiding her. Remembering the way he spoke with confidence when he caught her in the banquet hall, he doesn't seem like the type to run or hide. And the maid couldn't lie considering the way she behaved so respectfully and politely towards her like she is Josephina herself and the way she talked openly and honestly about the house shows she hides nothing and fears nothing.
