Chapter 5

  *CHRISTIAN*

I drove through the street of Nevada City. I recalled about what happened to me.

"I like her already". I said smiling. not like idiot you love her. my instinct tells me, I laughed.

I played a song, I danced like an insane person.

CHRISTIAN'S HOUSE

I honked the car when I got to the entrance of the house. The gate opened immediately, I drove in, I parked properly before coming down. I walked into the mansion with my backpack hung on my shoulders.

"Hey Chris". I heard a familiar male voice called me, I turned at once only to see Richard my friend.

Richard is my childhood friend, he is the same age grade as me.

"Hey man, how are you". I greeted, we shook and hugged at the same time.

"Am good, I am just feeling sleepy". He replied sitting on a couch.

"Feeling sleepy???. You better start going to your house". I said jokingly. I slumped on the chair smiling.

"Hey man, what's up, why are you smiling". He asked giving me those silly looks.

"Nothing man, I just feel like smiling". I replied closing my eyes.

"You don't have to lie to me, just tell me the truth". He said narrowing his eyes as me.

"Okay fine I will tell you". I said sitting uprightly.

"Remember the girl I told you about yesterday". He nodded in confirmation... "I met her earlier this morning"... I explained to him.

"I think you love this girl, you know what I mean". He said winking at me.

"I am not going to take her as one of my b*tches, I love her very much".

"Are you being serious now, Christian, do you want to get yourself stuck in this bondage called relationship". He said standing up.

I had two failed relationships in the past. I decided not to have a girlfriend other than to f**k bitches. I changed my mind when it comes to Tessa.

"I understand where you are coming from, I know you are trying to protect me from heartbreaks".

"It is not only that, you know our society doesn't accept that which you all fully aware of". He said slapping my head playfully, my face turned sour, I slumped on the chair again.

There is a society we are in called Bridge Awe. It is a society where we support each other as friends, and also play dangerous games. Which Richard is the leader, I am the second in command and Rollins is the third on command.

"There is nothing you can do about it". He added.

"There is something you can do about it, tell me already". I said rolling my eyes.

"When next should I come". We heard a female voice. We tilted our heads to know who she was, they appeared. Rollins brought a b*tch home. Rollins was shirtless, they just had s*x with the way the b*tch dragged down her cloth.

"I will call you whenever I need you". Rollins assured her, which he will never do. We watch her leave, with Rollins waving a goodbye at her. He closed the door behind him.

"Hey what's up". He said slumping on the sofa.

"Go and freshen up, you stinks". Richard said laughing, I throw off my face.

"The b*tch smells like a fish". Rollins said sniffing his body, they laughed.

"Christian why are you not laughing and you look sad". Rollins said noticing my expression.

"There is nothing wrong". I said sadly.

I brought out my earphone, it is connected already, I plugged it in my ears, folding my arms on my chest and resting my back on the sofa, I closed my eyes. I have never felt this way before in my entire life, let just call it love at first sight.

I was not in a good mood yesterday because my parent forced me to go to that college. I wanted to go to the college where Richard and Rollins are attending. Unfortunately, they said a friend of theirs own the college, he wants me to attend his college, I had no other choice than to accept. I am very angry at them.

My mood was restored when I bumped into Tessa, oh God. She was putting on a sad face. I still need to ask Mr Anderson what happened between them. Despite the fact that she wore a sad look she was cute, I was also drooling at her but I quickly controlled myself due to the play boy I am.

The society rules came up again, I joined when I was faced with difficulty when it comes to girls, but now that I have found someone there is no way to date her.

"Christian". I heard Richard called, I looked at him and looked away.

"Let's talk". He said removing my ear phone.

"I am not interested". I yelled, snatching it from him I left for my room.

~~~~

"What's wrong with him, he doesn't look happy". Rollins asked Richard after they both watch him leave.

"I don't wanna talk about it". He also said walking away. "Come back here, you two can't leave me here". Rollins shouted following Richard.

               

Duncan's Mansion.

                        *TESSA*

I jumped on my bed after dressing up in my pyjamas. I couldn't stop day dreaming about Christian. I am loving him right now, how I wish he is my boyfriend. His looks are breathtaking, his black curly hair appreciates his eyebrows as they almost touch each other. I looked at my phone repeatedly expecting his call. I kept myself busy with a novel, I got tired of it so soon.

I checked my wall clock, it is 9:00pm already and i haven't slept. I think I will sleep now enough of waiting. I laid on the bed, I covered myself with a duvet. I heard my phone ringing. I picked it up quickly checking the caller ID. A smile appeared on my lips as Christian's name appeared on the screen. I sat uprightly on the bed.

"Good evening Christian". I greeted in a sweet voice.

"I am sorry I called late, are you sleeping already?". He asked, I shook my head as if he can see me.

"No I am not, I am still up".

"Can we switch to video call, I wanna see your face". He said, his voice sounded like a music in my ear.

"Okay". I said hanging up. I switched on the light, I adjusted my pyjamas. The call came in, I picked it up at the first ring.

"Hey, you look good". He said, I blushed hard.

"What's that on your face". He said looking serious. I touched my face, searching for something I can't see.

He started laughing. "What's that for". I asked faking angry.

"There is nothing on your face physically, your cheek turns red, you have being blushing hard nowadays". He said, I blushed harder, I looked down in embarrassment.

"You don't have to be embarrassed, it is normal for girls to blush when talking to me". He teased.

"You are now feeling superior, right". I said rolling my eyes.

"Yes I am, I am handsome you know". He bragged.

"I am off to sleep, since you won't stop bragging". I faked angry.

"You look cute when you are angry". He teased, I couldn't help but to blush again. Oh God this guy is driving me crazy.

"Thanks but no thanks". I replied sharply. I yawned.

"I think it's time for you to sleep".

"No I am not sleepy". I defended.

"You are not, but your face said it all". He said smiling.

"You got me, goodnight, see you tomorrow". I said smiling and waving at him.

"Goodnight". He said, hanging up.

I sighed, I switched off the light laying down. I  slept off moments later.
