Elle approached Lyn.
Elle….I highly doubt my brother invited you, please leave this instant cause i dont want to cause a scene.
Lyn….You might be his twin, but am not here for you, where is he?
Elle….Really now? You wanna boss around at my house too?
Roman….I think you should leave.
Roman butted in.
Lyn….Who are you to gang up on me?
Axel….Lyn? Why are you here? Leave right now.
Axel and Zara also came as they were finished with their business, they were holding hands.
Lyn….Its you again?
Zara…Why not? Where my guy goes so i will be there too.
Elle…Oh? Now leave, you have no business here.
Lyn….This is gonna end badly.
She threw the teddy bears in front of them amd left in embarrassment, Elle turned and looked at Zara and Axel.
Elle….Okay?
Zara…Well, um, we are….together.Am sorry if its wrong, i dont even know what am saying.
Elle….Hahaha, dont panic honey, i like you already and your fit for my brother.
Axel….Excuse us then.
Roman….Elle, come.and help me carry somethings from the car.
Elle….Okay.
They went to his car and he opened the boot, there was a huge wrapped box and other four small boxes, they carried to inside the house.
Roman….Oh, i like your house.
Elle….Thanks, so, what are these exactly?
Roman….Where did i put my scissor?Here it is.
He cut the first huge box first, inside, there were over ten female coats and leather jackets all brand new.
Roman….This is my birthday present to you.I noticed that your always wearing ckats and leather jackets so i figured that you lobed wearing them so i decided to get you some for your birthday.
Elle….What in the….???? OMGGGG, Roman, i love them all, they are so many, how can thank you now?
She hugged him and quickly let go scratching her head in shyness.
Elle….Sorry, didnt mean that.
Roman….Hahaha, i dont mind.And these four boxes are from my friends, those guys we met yesterday.One box has shoes, another one a watch, another one a phone and that one has a dress with its scurf.They sent there wishes too, so, happy birthday in advance Elle.
Elle cried right away, the guys so nice to her and now they sent her presents? And her crush getting her the latest coats amd jackets in a big number, it was too mich fkr, they were more than nice.
Roman….Am touched too, they've never been this friendly to any of my female friends.Want a hug again?
Elle….Yes please!
She wrapped her hands around his broad back and rested her head in his chest, she didnt wanna let go but he did.
Roman….Okay, enough with this emotion thing.They actually want us to date, i dont know where they got that idea.
Elle….What did you say?
Roman….Not me, my friends, they even call you their sister in law already, but dont mind them.
Elle….But…(I cant say it now, it doesn't sound like his interested yet, i was wrong.But being his friend is so far the best thing to me so i should settle for this now).
Roman….I also brought a cake, its still in the car, stay here, i should go and get it.
With all this happening, Nadia was keeping her eyes on Elle and she saw everything, she wasnt happy at all.Later, the party ended and they cleaned the house fkr Selli to come back when its clean, but they were both in thoughts.
Nadia….Guys, i should go home now, its late.
Elle….Okay, thanks for coming and helping Nadia, your the best friend one could ask for.I already put the cake Roman bought in your bag and some gifts are at the dinning.
Nadia….Thanks love.Elle, um….
Elle….What is it, say it, anything.
Nadia….Can i drive your car? I will bring it back in the morning.
Elle….I didn't know you knew how to drive, okay, here are the car keys so be safe.
Nadia….Thanks darling, your always nice to me.
Elle….Because i love you, now get going.Axel, dont be quiet, i want to hear all about that sexy girlfriend of yours.
Nadia drove Elle's car and stopped at a gas station, she bought gas and poured it in the car then drove and crushed it on a huge tree then set it on fire to look as an accident and jumped out of it with a few bruises.
The car was beyond repair and people nearby called an ambulance which took Nadia to the hospital.Axel was with Elle at home talking about Zara.
Elle….I wanna know why you guys disappeared for like ten minutes from the party, where were you with her?
Axel…I've told you what's there to know, stop bothering me.
Elle….Alright, am glad that at last, your happy.
Axel….Me too, i feel alive.
Elle's phone rung and it was Nadia, she told her she was hospitalized.
Axel….Whats going on?
Elle….Its Nadia, she had an accident and she is in the hospital.
Axel….What? Lets go right now.
Selli also arrived that very moment and they left with her.But after a few minutes, Lyn came to there house wearing a hoodie with a jerrycan of petrol, she poured outside the house and set it on fire thinking they were inside, after she ran away.
The neighbours saw it and called the fire fighters who helped stop the fire.At the hospital, Nadia was discharged as her wounds were minor.
Nadia….I dont know what to say, i have no money to afford any car, am sorry Elle.
Elle….Its okay, accidents happen and you didnt mean too, you almost lost your life so dont worry about it.Its not like I've been with it for long, your life matters the most.
Selli….Just focus on recovering dear.
Axel….How about you sleep over at our house tonight so that we can take good care of you as you heal?
Selli….Hold on guys, our neighbor keeps calling let me see whats he wants to say, excuse me.
She answered the call and was told the shocking news.They went to the police but non of them could identify the suspect as they weren't home.
Officer….We are going to look more into it.
Neighbor….I think i saw a girl wearing a hoodie leaving your house when it just caught fire.
Selli….A girl?
Officer….Can you describe her?
Neighbor….I saw her at their birthday party, she has short black hair and i remember you guys kinda had a fight with her at the party.
Elle….You gotta be kidding me!
Axel….It was Lyn?
Officer….Boys, issue a search warrant, we are going to her house.
They went to Yolanda's house and searched until they found the evidence in the dustbin, Lyn was arrested right away.Selli told Nara everything and she arrived at the station.
Nara….Am so sorry that this happened to you, thank God no one was hurt.Am gonna make sure she spends some good time behind bars, i have the best lawyers.
Selli….I dont even know why she is like this, my son wants nothing to do with her.
Nara….She is probably a psycho, lets go home you guys need to rest.
Selli….In your house?No, we are going to stay at a hotel for some time as we figure out what do to next.
Nara….You think i can allow that?
Nara insisted and took them to her mansion, Elle was nervous to sleep in the same house as Roman, but Axel was happg to spemd more time with Zara.
They were all given rooms as the house was big with free rooms, though Nadia wasnt with them, she went home.Roman knocked Elle's room and she allowed him to enter.
Elle….H…hi.
Roman….Dont be shy, we arent strangers.
Elle….Yeah…right…
Roman….Am sorry about what happened to your car and now your house, it must be alot to process.
Elle….I will be fine.
Roman….Good to know, just come to my room of you need anything.
Elle….Thanks Roman.
Roman….Anytime, good night Elle.
He left.
Elle….This is kinda embarrassing to be staying at my crush's house yet he seems unbothered.When will my heart stop liking him? Its been six months now, but no progress, why does he have to be so hotttt???? Ugh, cant help but fall for him harder.
As for Zara and Axel, they were texting until Zara had enough and sneaked into his room, they hugged and kissed.
Axel….What if someone comes in?
Zara….Then they have a show to watch.
Axel….What? Do you have any shyness left in you?
Zara….I doubt, i was born this way, the older i get, the bolder i become.
Axel….And i like that about you, your boldness.
Zara….And i like your innocence, but it wont be long before i take it away.
Axel….Oh really now?
She didnt leave his room, and they did their thing.In the morning, Elle got up early as she was sleepless thinking about Roman being in the same place as her.
She walked around the house until she reached at the last room in the hallway, it was gym and Roman was exercising shirtless with headphones on.
Elle….OH MY EYESSSS…..
Roman didnt know that someone was standing at the doorway.Elle's mouth was wide open, she pulled out a phone to take a picture of his back, but a flash light was on.
Roman saw the flashlight and turned to look at doorway, Elle ran before he saw her and ruhsed back to her room locking the door with her heart racing, she touched her chest.
Elle….That was close! It would've been embarrassing if he saw me.Gosh! I cant take this anymore, i need to know if this guy is owned by someone, he is so my type, why cant he see me the way i see him? I dont wanna be friends anymore, this feeling is burning inside me and its gonna kill me at this point.Is it so hard for him to notice the way i feel about him?
Roman went to his friends and didnt go to campus so she didnt see him that day.In the evening, she went to beach and sat in the sand in deep thoughts.
Roman….Hey.
Elle….Roman?
He had come back and didnt find her home so Axel told him where to find her.
Roman….Is everything okay? What are you thinking about?
Elle….About you.
Roman…Me?
Elle….I…mean, you didnt show up at campus today, i was bored since Nadia is also sick.
Roman….It was an emergency that i had to leave, but am back anyways.
He sat next to her and as usual, her heart started beating that she couldnt dare look at his face in shyness.
Roman….Its nice to watch the sun set with gentle waves of water, right?
Elle….It sure is.
Roman….Have i ever told you this? You look like a real life rupanzel and i like your eyes, they are just like the ocean.
Elle…(Now is the time Elle, his giving you hints so seize the opportunity now!)
She swallowed hard and closed her eyes, she kissed his lips, he was very much suprised, she stopped and looked at his face to read his reaction.
Elle….I like you Roman.
Roman….You do? This is crazy…
Elle….(SHIT..SHIT…SHIT…AM SO FUCKED UP) Hahahaha…..
Roman….Whats funny?
Elle….You! I mean, you always bring up jokes but you failed to catch on this one?
Roman….You lied?
Elle….Ofcourse i did, it was a prank, dont take it serious.
Roman….You really got me on this one.
Elle….Anyways, its cold outside, i should go now.
Roman…But I've just arrived, lets stay a little longer.
Elle….I wish but i have to go, you should stay, see you at home.
Elle walked to go home, at Roman's house which was a few steps away from the resort but tears were flowing from her eyes, she was in pain.
Elle….Am so dumb! How am i going to face him tomorrow after my failed attempt? I've ruined our friendship yet I stay at his house, how am i gonna live with this embarrassment? Your a girl Elle, girls dont do that, your too pretty to make a first move on a guy and yet he doesnt care.
She cried while walking until she realised that she took a wrong turn as she was absent minded, she was in a dark alley and it was already late at night.
Elle….Oh my God, where am i? I should go back around to the other route, am now losing it and its because of him, fuck you Roman.
But as she was leaving, a car parked in front of her, she got scared and started walking faster but the person got out of the car and started following her.
