Yes I am" Nathan said in a delusional tone, as he was quite eager to hear what he had to say next, holding Rose's arm more firmly and putting up a mischievous smile."And you hail from?" The man asked, his tone brisk, with quite a deep and persistent voice as he tried to garner information about his background."Broken Springs, or so I was told " Nathan said. He noticed the odd look on the man's face and quickly gazed at rose briefly so he could avoid the man's hot gaze. "I heard it's a town known for raising rascals" "I beg your pardon"?Nathan all filled with rage, squeezing the silver slippery cutlery right before him as he gazed at the tan-skinned man."I think it's time to eat" Mr Swack interrupted As one of the steward walked round to open the trays on each side of the dinning table. Rose twiddled her fingers round Nathan's and bringing her lips closer to ears."Please don't let him get to you, he's always a jerk"Nathan put up a big smile on hearing those words as it rela
He stared at her as she ambled down the school block down to the library, as he stepped out and shut the door of the vehicle, then hurried down to class. The echoing sound of voices of every student as the professor rendered the lecture for the day, Nathan stepped in quietly from the back snuck to his seat so no one would notice his presence, but Letha's voice stopped him from behind. "Hush, latecomer, Guess it's cause of the party that you got all occupied?" She smiled " Oh, Not really, I had a slight headache this morning, I just couldn't get up early""Oh so sorry about that, hope you're good now?" "I'm very much good, Thank you" Nathan replied still in deep thought about why she was still caring after their conversation last night as he gazed at Cayden and Nicholas walk in. They both walked past the front of the class down to the back and quickly sat down next to Nathan" Bro you won't believe who we just saw outside"? Cayden whispered. "Who"? " Your girl Rose, she says
" Uhh, yes I am" He chuckled As he bent his face and smiled"It's complicated" He laughed as Nathan pulled closer and shook his head with a big smile " When did it all start?" Nathan said quite anxious "It all started back then at the party, seeing her dressed that way brought ignited something in my heart, she's really attractive"Cayden explained. " Oh yes man, she's really attractive but remember not all that glitters is Gold..... you could be pretty much just infatuated " Nicholas interrupted as he fixed his gaze on Cayden" Yes man, that's my earnest fear, I had funny thoughts that came along with my feelings"" Thoughts like"? " Do you think an attractive lady like that won't have other admirers? I don't think she's single" Cayden lamented with a big frown on his countenance as Nathan and Nicholas laughed like they had taken some laughing pills. Nathan unlocked the vehicle, Cayden was still lost in thoughts though he wondered what amused " Not funny guys, it's my feeling
It was a late evening, as everywhere was dark and quiet that Nathan's car engine was the only thing reverberating noisily throughout the area as he went past. Nathan drove back home as he couldn't help but think about rose and what she had gone through during the ambush, He felt so pissed at himself for not being there to protect her... As he drove past the entrance into the compound, he gazed at Cayden and Nicholas as they hung outside waiting for him to return . He parked the vehicle at the garage and stepped out with a frown on his face " I heard what happened, I'm sorry man," Cayden said pitifully " Hope she's fine? Was she attacked?" Nicholas said anxiously." Yeah she was, they had attempted to kill her if not for the intervention of one of the guards who was brutally injured in the process, if anything had happened to her, I really wouldn't have forgiven myself" Nathan lamented as he undid his tie." Don't be so hard on yourself man, thank God she's safe and wasn't attacked
Damn! That's bad" Cayden exclaimed as he placed his hands on his head in shock "I've always suspected letha to be nasty. She doesn't have clean intentions when it comes to you and Rose," Nicholas said as he placed his hand on Nathan's shoulders to pat him. " Rose could be thinking the worst of me now, I hope letha is happy wherever she is."Nathan said as he kept thinking about the incident that had just happened . Cayden grinned when he spotted his crush from a distance. He couldn't help but gaze at her. Then he he quickly stowed away and went to her as he had wished to speak with her all these while. This was his opportunity to finally talk with her, He said within himself as he approached her. " Hello Veronica, How are you doing today?" Cayden said as she turned and gazed at him, her brows raised. " Cayden, I'm doing great you?" " I'm good. Can we..uh talk probably somewhere calm and private" Cayden said. She wondered what he could want to discuss in private " Sure, you
He looked out through the glass pane of the car viewing the pedestrians and passing vehicles on the road till they arrived at school. Nathan drove down to the parking lot and settled at his usual spot. They all came down to head over to their lecture room when Amelia approached Nathan, a big smile on his face. " Thanks for the ride Nathan, I appreciate" " Oh Don't sweat, it's nothing" Nathan grinned " We could hang out sometime perhaps?" Amelia asked, anxious to hear his reply. " Okay that will be fine, just give me a call," Nathan said as he shut the door sensors and headed down to meet up with Cayden and Nicholas. " Bro, that girl is way into you man" Cayden chuckled. " You think? Why do you say that?" Nathan replied. " Are you daft? I don't just think, I know. Because she stared at you all through the ride, she didn't know I had my eyes on her" Cayden grinned. " oh really? Well I suspected all these while with all the action, but I guess I just want to keep playing along
They later retired to their bedrooms as everyone was exhausted from the experience of the day. Nathan went off to bed first as he needed to be up early to drive Mr swack to the airport. " I need to get to bed now as I have a long day tomorrow," Nathan said to the others as he retired to his room. The next morning, all bright and blooming with the sweet whisper from the birds and warm breeze from the trees. Nathan was up early as expected, having his daily routine exercises and headed to the bathroom to fresh up. He set out dressed in a green simple top and tracksuit trousers with glowing white snickers and headed downstairs to the dining to have some breakfast. Everywhere was serene and calm, the lights all lit . The heater was on, regulating the temperature of the room and the Tv was displaying a particular sporting channel. Nathan opened the fridge and got out some chocolate bread and toasted it, to go with some hot coffee. He was cautious of time as he didn't want to keep
He finally found the perfect outfit for the hangout. A slim fit blue short and a nice blue shirt to go with it the blend, obviously with blue sneakers to complete the matchup. Nathan grinned and dashed the stairs to the sitting room. The well-conditioned room with white furnished cushions and 10inch Television viewing a world trending soccer match. He sat to watch and made himself comfortable with some cookies and a chilled glass of orange juice. The suspense from the match grew even way bigger as he's best team lost attempts of scoring several goals. Cayden and Nicholas finally came out of their room in some shaggy shorts and shirts too, with a touch of sneakers." Finally you both decided to come out after you were the ones who came up with the idea for the games today" Nathan grinned " Mehn, finding a perfect outfit was more like a thug of war, it's not just my thing!" Cayden said. " At least we ended up finding something useful" Nicholas chuckled. " Yeah, Let's hit the road gu
