CHAPTER 4 ~ THE FLIGHT TO LONDON

~ CASSANDRA~ 

I was so upset about what happened back in Michael’s penthouse that I nearly lived like a sloth for two days in my brother’s house. Yes, I’m in my brother’s home, the last thing I wanted on this earth because we need to vacant the dorm in which I was living with Cindy. We had planned to directly take a flight to London on the same day we would leave the dorm so that we would not have to run back to our houses like rats. But because of that idiot Michale I ruined my mood and ended up refusing Cindy to take a flight with her to London. Thanks to god she didn’t ask me anything, however, she told me to meet her in the apartment which her parents had given her as the graduation present which you guys already know about, right? We had planned everything but at the last moment I ditched, I know she might be cursing at me, and yeah I deserve it for ditching her at the last moment but you know I was a bitch at that moment as my head was all the way down to the road of what happened at that jerk’s penthouse. 

Anyway, now I had to go and my brother won’t let me go to the airport even though I argued. All of them came with me to the airport to drop me. Aiden was trying to drop me all the way to London but I convinced him to let me go alone. So I arrived at the airport, why do you ask? I'm leaving for London, finally. And my brothers drove me there so we could say our

goodbyes. "Earth to Cassandra!" Izan waved his hand in front of my face.

"Sorry I zoned out," I said before getting out of the car. I grabbed my luggage from the trunk and we headed for my gate number. "Well we're here." one of my brothers exclaimed nervously and I sighed "I don't wanna leave you, guys." I started to tear up "Hey. Hey, hey, no crying, you promised her you would do this." They all hugged me tightly while rubbing my back. You're probably wondering who 'she' is, well 'she' is my mom. She and dad died when I was 14 I'm 21 now. It was their dream that I would move to London when I turned 21  and today is the day I have to do that. For her. "Plane boarding for gate 22 to London!" the gate lady announced. I playfully punched Aaron's shoulder as he’s the one with whom I’m so close with "I love you, dork, I got to go." I start walking towards my gate after giving a goodbye hug to Aiden and Izan ``We love you too Cassy. Text us when you land!"  It was Izan who yelled. I looked back and saw them walking away. Here we go to follow my heart.

I step out of my Uber and walk up to my apartment where my best friend Cindy Marshall lived. Once I reached the building I walked up the 3 flights of stairs, they were a bitch to climb up, I'm taking the elevator next time. I knocked on the door, and after 3 knocks Cindy opened the door she grabbed my arm and yanked me into the apartment. "BITCHHHHHH YOU'RE HERE!" She screamed in my ear "Holy shit calm yourself, Cindy."

"Sorry"... she cringed then guided me to a room " The fuck this room is fire!" I gasped "I know and it's yours." she whispered in my ear I literally screamed and she slapped me playfully on the shoulder for screaming"Ow! Bitch!" "Well I'm going to let you unpack. I'll be in my room if you need me." "cool," I said. She left and I started unpacking. 3 hours had passed and I was watching tv when Cindy burst into my room and said "Let's go clubbing tonight." "Yes bitch." I said realizing it had been so long since I had fun with friends at the club, me and Cindy usually only hung at my house or her. "I will let you get dressed but you only have 20 minutes!" she scolded me. "Okay,

“Okay." I giggled. She left and I started to go through my closet. What to Wear, What to wear I thought to myself.

On the way to the club, Cindy mentioned that a friend from her design class named Sophia and Sophia’s boyfriend was joining us at the club. She also said that they were totally on again, off again, and toxic for each other but we don't judge here. Once we entered the club I saw hot sweaty bodies dancing and having a good time. "Let's get a round of shots!" Cindy yelled over the loud music as we walked over to the bar and ordered shots. After a round of shots, we saw a couple approaching us, "Hey Soph" she said hugging Sophia. But my eyes were drawn to the man on her left. He had short jet black hair, and tuffs of curls setting on his neck, his tattoos were brighter than before and it was none other than MICHAEL SANTORUM. "Nice to meet you both," I was taken aback when I saw him there in front of me. Again those wild thoughts knocked my head with suspicion slowly settling down in my head with whole lots of unanswered questions but again I pushed them aside as I know this guy is a playboy and can easily get any girl after throwing his so-called offer at them and I remember he has his house here. I played cool as if he doesn’t matter to me, I exclaimed while shaking their hands. For some reason when I looked over to the bitch Sophia to find her mean mugging me, I already knew I wasn't going to like her.

After a few hours we were dancing and ended up dancing up against Michale to make that girl Sophia which he brought with him to burn her with jealousy, I was slightly buzzed so

I just went with it. I look over and saw Sophia staring into my fucking soul and I backed up. Cindy announced she was getting more drinks and we all followed her. At some point during shots, we started talking about our dreams and Cindy ended up revealing my secret that I’m a well-known DJ but most of the people don’t know me personally as I always go on the deck with a mask on my face. They just know me by my stage name, Cass and I decided to say I was studying music and singing secretly, behind my brother’s back and I was fucking praying that this idiot Michael would not tale-tell my brother Izan who works for him as his legal Lawer. Cause I know that way he was smirking devilishly he would surely do two shits about this. "Oh that's nice I run a music studio here's my card, give us a call," Michael said while

handing me a white business card. I looked at him and then at his business card, I wondered how much business he owns.

"Thanks, I'll think about it." I smiled widely. "I think we should get going. I'm getting tired," Cindy said. I looked over to her and she looked like she was going to pass out. "Yeah we can go, it was nice to meet you both again"

"It was nice to meet you too" He came over and hugged me, and shivers were sent down my spine.

They walked out and it looked like Sophia was yelling at Michael, probably because of his hug. I

giggled. I and Cindy walked out of the bar.

(20 minutes later)

We finally made it back to the house. Cindy went to her room and passed out. I got ready for bed and laid down on my bed, I pulled out the business card and stared at it, and thought about whether or not to call it. I thought I would sleep on it. After a while, I gradually got tired and let the darkness consume me. Tomorrow morning the first thing I need to do is to ask her ‘HOW THE HELL SHE KNOWS MICHAEL SANTORUM THAT WE MET HIM AT THE CLUB!’ Also, the last time in the dorm she told me a lot more about him.
