The Woods Family mansion.3:47 pm.“Sir, the young miss is back.”, the family butler informed Senior Woods, Nova’s father with a bow. Senior Woods, who was going through some papers on his work desk did not look up, but he acknowledged the information with a “hmm”. He was glad that Nova, who had always been strong-headed and difficult to control had listened to him this time. He hoped that his dream of establishing a business relationship with the most powerful family in the country would finally be realized using his daughter.It was only by sheer luck that he had found out through one of his connections that the old matriarch of the Sanchez family was contacting high-standing socialite families in the city, trying to set up a relationship between his beloved grandson and the daughters of those families. Setting up a meeting with Lazarus Sanchez had been extremely difficult, and even after various attempts to connect with the old man, he was appointed to meet up with the family’s b
Bang!Her action was too fast! The guy cried out in pain and abruptly released his hold on Lola’s arm to hold on to his hurting lower part while uttering an inaudible chain of swear. Soon enough, the door to the balcony opened and the rest, who had been initially occupied with their game rushed in. They had heard the guy scream.“Is everything alright out here?.. Lola? Sam??” Dawn, the host for the night was concerned. They were confused and didn’t know what to make of the picture in front of them. “Sam?.”Sam, the jerk was bending over in pain still swearing, he looked pale. Lola, on the other hand, had helped herself up from the floor before they came in. She stood in a corner dressed in camouflage pants, a grey crop top, and white sneakers. Her red hair was packed in a loose bun on the top of her head. She gently hit the dust off her hands. Seeing Aria coming over, she walked to meet her halfway. Lola turned to face Dawn. She let out an awkward smile and apologized “I’m sorry w
“Gather around guys! I see you all have met our newest addition?.” Corey said as he called out to the members of the group.“Yes!”, most of them replied.“He’s hot too!”, A girl shouted from behind and sent a flirtatious wink to Josh who was standing with Corey. Josh was visibly embarrassed as he heard this. He put on a straight face and pretended like he had heard nothing.Corey, on the other hand, had expected this situation. He frowned and issued a strict instruction. “Okay. Here’s how this is gonna play out. You are a mature group, we know better than to make Josh feel uncomfortable and ..bail out on us.” he added the last words in a whisper but it was loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. That lightened up the atmosphere and all the dancers laughed including Josh.Corey smiled then continued, “It's less than a day to performance and we have to perfect our moves e and make all the right arrangements, especially with providing adequate help to Josh make up for TJ’s parts.”
“We don’t have all the time in the world to practice Clara. We have to join the others soon...quit playing around and let’s get to work..”Josh said pissed off at Chloe’s silly attempts to seduce him. Girls like this were the ones he hated associating with the most. Like the lady in front of him.. shameless, wearing thick makeup and very skimpy wear. She had been putting on joggers when he entered, he wondered when she switched them for a skirt that looked short enough to be an underwear.Hearing his obvious attempt to irk her by pretending to forget her name, Chloe’s eyes squinted. “My name is Chloe Love, not Clara,” She said and moved even closer to him. A girl’s got to try. You don’t get a good chance like this every day. For once, Corey’s arrangement benefited her and Chloe planned to make the most of this opportunity. But this guy was different from the type of men she was used to. He was the difficult type and she knew she had to take it easy on him. “Too bad though..”, she mut
When Lola opened the door, she was surprised to see the manly figure standing outside with some bags in his hands. He had a playful smile on his face as he stared back at her. “It’s good to see you again, Lola.” “James?”, Lola called out as she stared at the familiar face in surprise.“Are you surprised to see me?”, James asked, his lips curling up by the side.“No.. oh yeah. Mum has been expecting you and Petra.” Lola answered a little absent-mindedly.” Are you here alone?”...“No. Mom will be right up. Forgot her phone in the car..”Lola glanced at his hands and regained her manners. “Oh, forgive me. Please come in.” She said and opened the door wide enough for him to pass through with the bags in his hand. James walked past her and just as the door was about to close, it was held back and Mrs Andrew’s round face came into view. “Hold up.. coming through!”Petra was plump and had a cheerful demeanor. “Oh, dear. Is that you Lola?. You look so big now, come here!.”, She smiled wide
Friday Evening, The Performance Day.Rosewood, New York.Rosewoods Dance Theater. All major dance agencies in and out of Rosewoods and all over New York were present. Every year, the hip-hop departments of many dance agencies came together to perform on stage as a form of truce. It was simply termed a “performance”.. but deep down, in the hearts of everyone present, they all knew it was a “competition”. It was no news that this was the debut stage for the top dancers in the industry. It was therefore a presentation of complicated routines, a show of talents and nerve-cracking creativity to show which agency has what it takes to be the undefeated king of hip hop. There were only two rules, one was for each dance group to be complete with not more or less than ten group members, and two was for a peaceful performance. There must be no incidence of fight between members of the dance groups as their respective agencies would be banned from any performances at the dance theater in the f
The event photographers were active and the Fame Hall group was still taking photographs. Lola’s nervousness continued to remain present. She needed a space that wasn’t crowded to calm down before the big performance. After the first round of group pictures was taken, Lola asked to be excused from the group to retire to the dressing room first and Corey reluctantly agreed. Aria did not want Lola to feel lonely and decided to go ahead with her friend after getting permission too. Together, the two girls walked away from the photo area and headed towards the theatre. Inside, Lola was taken aback by the crowd. It was her first time stepping into the theatre as she had always only viewed it from afar, on National TV every year.Aria on the other hand has been there once but as a spectator, not a dancer. The audience was already filling in the seats, waiting expectantly for the show to begin. The auditorium was huge but luckily Lola recognized some of the junior trainees from the agen
“Chloe said I have been seducing and forcing myself on you Josh. Is this true?”Josh looked at Chloe. What was the bitch up to this time? Chloe panicked as she met his gaze. She anxiously tried to keep an innocent face on. After all, she had a good reason to be scared. Thinking about how brazenly she had behaved with him when they were alone in the practice room yesterday, she broke out in a cold sweat, desperately hoping that Josh would cover up for her. Toria and Vivi stood in front of Chloe in a protective stance unaware of the turmoil rapidly building up behind.They knew that Chloe had spent some time alone with Josh yesterday, but what the girls didn’t know was that Chloe’s plan had failed .. woefully.Recalling their past experiences with how Chloe always got the guys she wanted, they naturally assumed that she got this one too. Therefore as they looked at Lola and Aria, their eyes glinted with smugness. How dare they try to involve Chloe’s man? Was Lola really that dumb? Let
