" 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
The next morning, the glares from the sun, streamed into Nathan's room. The calm cinch from the window pane and sweet melody from the birds enticed Nathan with so much conviction that he wanted to hold firm onto his bed and never get up. He stretched to shut the ringing alarm because it was evident that he was late to the scheduled for lessons for the day. Nathan got out of the bed and ventured into his systematic morning workout, throwing his shank in various directions and having multiple push-ups to maintain his developing potencies before surging down to the washroom to freshen up and get ready for the day. The hushing sound from the barrage hitting his head felt like a great relief to his brain cells, the funny memories from the hangout clouded his mind that he grinned and gazed out the window and appreciated the beautiful city of Texas where this whole thing was taking place. But the moment was interrupted by the sudden knock on Nathan's door, it was Cayden reminding him they
Nicholas and Cayden went down to the departmental headquarters to wait for Nathan. They arrived at the building and waited just opposite the entrance door. There was a long queue and few lecturers to respond to the crowd. Nathan sighted them from a distance and walked down their route to meet them "Hey man, How is the defence going? Are you done? Nicholas asked." I wish I was man, We've been standing for some hours now and still nothing. It's almost my turn" Nathan replied. " Okay, Good luck. We'll be waiting at the car lot" Cayden replied. Nathan quickly dashed back to the queue waiting for his turn. Cayden and Nicholas walked down to the car lot sharing jokes and laughing at each one of them. Cayden deep within himself thought of what had happened at the library and wondered why Veronica was so concerned about their conversation at that moment. They passed through the school hallway down to the entrance very close to the car lot. Along the way, Cayden gazed at Veronica from a di
