It's lunch time at college and I was eating chips while Teresa eat her sandwich.

"I think it's about time you tell me what happened to you on Sunday and yesterday."

"I don't know what you are talking about." I fain innocence.

"Oh really now. If you don't tell me then I will tell the whole campus who pulled that hair dye stunt on the Principal's son." She said smirking up from her sandwich.

"Your bluffing." I smirked back.

In a flash she was standing on the lunch table, " Can I have everyone's attention please..."

Every single heads turned our way even that prick with the bright shocking pink and orange streak colored hair. I should have known better that she would actually do it.

"Okay, okay, gosh I'll tell you." I rushed out holding the leg of her jeans.

"Nevermind y'all." She sat back down smirking triumphantly.

I rolled my eyes and told her in full details of what happened Sunday and yesterday. She occasionally laughed at me. But when she heard about me losing my bikini top, that had her laughing so hard she teared up.

"That's so embarrassing" she laughed out. "I bet you left him all hard and stuff. Oh my gosh my tummy hurts. I also bet you made his day worthwhile." She continued laughing.

"Oh shuddup." I scoffed embarrassed.

"So did you like the kiss?" She asked.

"Do you secretly get a thrill knowing stuff about my sex life?" I shoot back.

Her face morphed into disgust. "Ew, no. Nevermind then."

I laughed, "Well if you must know. I guess I did. I was the one who kissed him." She nodded, still looking disgusted but wore a satisfied grin.

"Wow though, all that was intense." I scoffed.

"Yeah. Another thing is, lately I feel like I'm being watch by someone or something. "

She then got serious. Wasn't she the one laughing her head off a few minutes ago?

"You being watched is something strange." I hummed in agreement. "Are you sure you weren't just being paranoid?" I shrugged maybe.

"By the way you didn't tell me the guy's name."

"Marcello. That's what he told me. And come to think of it I don't know his last name and yet he knows mine." I just realized that.

"That is strange. Aww you have an admire." She gushed squishing her own cheeks together.

"More like stalker ish." I laughed out. "I wouldn't be surprised to find out he's the one watching me if I am actually be watched." But what is he playing at though? Is he trying to be the mysterious guy in those novels? The ones that need figuring out?  I scoffed again at the thought. Yeah right.

Tere nodded as if in thought. "Just be careful with him."

"You say that as if I'm going to see him again."

"Aren't you?" She raised her brow at me. I just shrugged. I'll never know when it comes to him. He always seems to find me wherever I am. But...

"I have Van. What more could I want?"

"Need I to remind you that he screwed your ass then left after." Ouch. "Not only that, when was the last time you heard from him?"

I didn't answer. I couldn't. We both know I haven't heard from him in almost a week. And so I struggled at her, got up and started to walk back to class. Teresa a few feet behind.

"And we need to start studying too." She said coming closer fo me.

I sighed, "I know." Great, more stress.

" And I'm sorry if what I've said hurt you V but I just don't want you to get hurt."

"I know." I looked at her and smiled reassuringly.

I was walking with my head down deep in thought when I bumped into someone.
"Sorry." I mumbled trying to go around but the person blocked my way.

"Can't you watch where you're going!"

I finally looked up to see who it was and tadaa. It's Fae Rutherford.

"It was an accident you don't have to make a scene about it." I said with an eye roll.

"Yeah whatever." she said with a scoff. This whole time I realized that Teresa was silent and that is not a good thing. Looking back at her she looks calculated. I walk back to her, whispering how whatever she's planning is not worth it. We left them there glaring at us and head to class.

Lets just say that Teresa and I isn't a huge fan of Fae. In someways she reminds me of those polecat bitches at work. But my dislike for her isn't as big as Teresa's. I still don't know the reason as to why they hate each other so much.

The day is finally over and Nash is driving me home. He's really quiet today. He's always quite before but this time it's different. He never said a word to me this morning and even now.

"Nash?"

"Ms. King."

"Why are you so quiet?" I leaned between the two seats to get a good view of his side profile.

"I'm always quite Ms. King. Nothing new." Not once have he glimpse at me.

"Yes true and if I remembered correctly I told you to call me Victoria." He nodded and said nothing more. But I stayed in my position.

"Will you just tell me what is the matter!"

The car was silent for a few minutes, the only noise your can hear is the cars passing by and horns blowing.

"Who was that man from yesterday?" This time he looked at me before turning is attention back to the road.

"I see, was that the reason you gave me that look? As if I've committed the worst crime." I asked remembering the look he gave me.

"I didn't give you any look. Ms King- I mean Victoria, if you don't remember I work for your boyfriend. I'm like a walking surveillance camera around you during the day. And because I don't know who that man is, wether an acquaintance, friend, family member or lover I haven't said a word to boss. Yet."

"I see. Well you need not to worry about it my friend because he's just a friend of mine."I said patting him on his shoulder before leaning back. The position I was in was becoming uncomfortable. "Speaking of boss, when last have you heard from him?"

I still haven't heard from him since he last left. Not even a gift I haven't received and I'm starting to worry.

"Yesterday. Why?"

"Nothing." The rest of the car ride was silent. The fact that Nash heard from him yesterday place a damper on my mood.

We finally arrived at my home. I exited the car and went inside putting in the code. Nash stayed in the car maybe waiting for the time to leave. I went up to my room, to took a shower and got changed in my night gown. I set my phone to alarm. No need for Macy to be on my ass because I was late again. I placed my phone on the night stand next to me then went to sleep.

**

'you got that look in your eyes eyes. I can tell you had a bad dream last night.'

Golden by Sia blasted through my phone's speaker, almost vibrating of the edge of the night stand. I groaned checking the time to see that it's 9pm. I quickly got out of bed and showered brushing my teeth afterwards.
I settled for a black off-shoulder bodycon outfit and my yellow heels. I did my make up light and threw my hair up in a ponytail. Once I was ready I stuff my phone in my purse then grabbed my keys and left.

I arrived at the club and it was banging. I hardly enter from the front but I didn't want to enter from the back tonight and I don't dance until 11 tonight and it's only a few minutes to ten so I head over to the bar to order a drink.

"Hey Andy." I greet the bartender.

"Sup Vic? What may I get you?" He asked smiling. He's really handsome and thick with his dark complexion, strong jawline, gray eyes and a clean fade.

"Two shots please." He placed two shot cups on the table a poured my shots before leaving to tend someone else.

In one quick go I down the two shots. The strong taste hitting me hard.

"Whooaaa! Easy there Vic." Andy said grinning. "Rough day?"

I nodded, "You could say that."

"Hey, bartender?" Some chick called him over.

"Be right back." I nodded as he left.

I turned my back to the counter and scanned the crowd. That was when my eye landed on that same lanky person I saw at the cafe. My eyes widened when I finally realized who the person is. The music started to drown into nothing but muffled sounds.

This couldn't be. He looks so different. I thought he left here for good. My blood ran cold and my mouth fell open. I felt paralyzed. His eyes finally caught mine and he stopped dancing with the girl in front of him. We stared at each other for what felt like eternity when he smirked, he send me that familiar sadistic smirk I knew so well. The smirk he gave me at the hospital. He started to blend in the thick mass of body that flooded the dance floor before disappearing out of sight.

Before I knew it, my body started moving towards him, following him.

I pushed the door that have the exit sign on it which immediately leads to outside. The only thing that greeted me was the chill air of the night and no sign of him.

"Paul?" I whispered.
