CHAPTER 16

“I’m sorry I interrupted you guys, I’ll leave now” She faked a smile and walked out of the studio.

“What have you done?” Nathaniel asked with an angry expression.

He dashed out of the studio before she could reply to him.

Unfortunately, Roxanna is already gone. He sighed sadly.

Anger took over him and he walked back into the studio fuming in anger.

He grabbed Cordelia’s hand firmly….

“What are you doing here. I thought I made it very clear to you, I don’t want to marry you” He said as he added pressure on her arm.

“You’re hurting me” She said wincing in pain.

He released her and ruffled his hair, he then turned back to her.

“Leave” Nathaniel said

“But I….”

“I said leave!!!” He shouted

Cordelia flinched and ran out of the studio.

“Why is it that when I finally fall for someone, something must ruin it all” He said to no one in particular.

He walked out of his studio and boarded his car then drove off heading to her house…

__________

Immediately the cab dropped her home, she paid him and ran into the house.

Suzy saw Roxanna and smiled…

“Oh you’re back home, I was….”

She couldn’t finish her word as Roxanna ran pass her.

She entered her room and locked the door then sat down on the floor as she cried sobbed loudly.

She held her chest.

“It hurts really bad” She said admist her tears.

Suzy knocked on the door worriedly as she heard Roxanna crying. She tried to open the door but it was locked, she knocked again

“Roxy, what’s wrong? Please open the door” Suzy said while banging the door….

“Just got away, let me be. I need to be alone” Roxanna screamed while crying.

Suzy sighed and stopped knocking but she sat down on the doorstep, waiting for her to calm down.

Roxanna stood up from the floor and walked to the mirror in front as she stared at her reflection.

“What were you first of all expecting? That he would love you?” Roxanna asked her reflection…

She broke into more tears as she began hiccuping…

“Why can’t he love me? I’m I not beautiful for his liking?” She said.

She punched the mirror and it broke into pieces producing a shattering noise…

Suzy stood at alert as she heard the noise of broken mirror.

She stood and kicked the door open and gasped as she saw broken pieces of the mirror lying on the floor and blood dripped from Roxanna’s hand to the broken pieces.

Roxanna had her head down as tears cascaded her cheek falling on the ground in droplets

Suzy rushed to her and held her bruised hand.

“Oh my God, look at your hand. It’s bleeding” Suzy said.

“That’s nothing compared to the state my heart is” Roxanna said in a whisper.

Suzy held her shoulder and made her face her.

“What’s wrong, tell me” Suzy said.

“I saw him, I saw him kiss another girl. Why can’t he love me. My whole life, I felt nothing but suffering. I’m I cursed? Why can’t I be happy for once in my life” Roxanna said in tears…

Suzy hugged her patting her back. She placed her head on her shoulder and cried till her heart content

She helped her treat and dress her wound then the maids cleaned the mess in her house. The door was repaired.

Suzy succeeded in making her sleep. She took one last glance at her and then walked out of her room.

*I really feel for you Roxy* Suzy thought as she walked downstairs.

Nathaniel dashed out of his car as soon as he arrived her house.

They was some crazy traffic which delayed him.

He ran to the gate and rang the bell while pacing to and fro. A guard opened the gate and he pushed him aside walking in the house.

He entered the living room and Suzy was surprised to him here worse at this state. If someone sees him, they’ll think he has grown mad.

“What are you doing here?” Suzy asked.

“Where’s Roxanna, I need to speak to her. It’s urgent” He said as he made to climb up the stairs

Suzy pulled him back.

“She isn’t in the mood to talk right now” Suzy said

“It’s urgent that I speak to her, please” He said.

“Listen, you need to understand. She is suffering right now and you know the reason. I know you know she’s really into you, and when she saw what transpired between you and that girl, she grown mad. Please let her rest for today, you’ll speak to her tomorrow” Suzy said.

He sighed and took one last glance at the stairs before walking out of the house.

____________

Jennifer laid on her bed and sighed for the up tenth time

“Tomorrow Kevin will ask Roxanna out” She muttered.

She sat up and walked out of her room and almost immediately Nathaniel stormed into his room and banged the door close

_______Next morning

Roxanna opened her eyes and squinted them before staring at the ceiling.

Honestly she doesn’t want to leave her room but she has to, today the band are having rehearsal for their new song.

She climbed down the bed and dragged her feet to the bathroom. She brushed her teeth and took a bath then dressed back her wound before walking out of the bathroom.

She applied her body cream and then wore white gown that ended above her knees with a black leather jacket. She then wore black stylist boots and then brushed her hair. She looked beautiful as usual but her mood made her look dull…

She picked up her bag and walked out of her room. She entered the dining room and ate. The once lively and cheerful time they had when eating breakfast was now dull and quiet.

After she was done eating she stood up.

“Suzy, I’ll wait for you in the car” She said and walked out of the house.

After some minutes Suzy joined her and the driver drove them to their studio. They got down and walked to the studio.

The rehearsal began, although Roxanna sang with a dull expression even the sound producer seemed to notice it as he asked them to stop.

“Roxanna, you’re voice is kinda dull. Where’s the vibrant Roxanna that I knew” The producer said.

“I’m sorry, I’m not just in my mood today” She replied.

They continued with their rehearsals and after about as hour it was done. The girls walked out of the studio.

“What’s wrong with Roxy” Olivia whispered to Suzy.

“She’s going through a severe moment of depression” Suzy replied

“Poor girl” Yvonne said….

Roxanna left the girls and walked to no particular direction, maybe with that she’ll be able to forget about him

“Roxanna”

She stopped on her tracks as she heard someone call her name. Tears gathered in her eyes as she heard who it was.

She slowly turned and face him then faked a smile.

“Hey Nate” She said.

Nathaniel walked closer to her and noticed her bandaged hand. He felt his heart bleed as he already figured out the he was the cause if it.

“Um Roxy, about what you saw yesterday I just…”

“It’s okay I understand, I once told you that I’ll know my limit” She said.

“Now if you’ll excuse me, I have somewhere else to go” She said and turned then made to leave but Nathaniel held her hand.

By that time the crowd were slowly gathering around them.

Roxanna turned and looked at his hand holding hers and then at his face.

“What anything wrong?” Roxanna asked.

“You love me right?” Nathaniel said staring deep in her eyes.

Roxanna looked down and removed her hands from his grip.

“I do, very much yes” She replied as the tears she was fighting back came out.

“Please, I’ll like you to keep your distance away from me. Maybe with that I’ll be able to erase you from my heart” She said and turned then began walking away.

“What if I tell you that I love you” Nathaniel said looking down

Roxanna stopped on her tracks trying to see if her ears where still functional.

Nathaniel walked up to her and stood in front of her. He lifted her head up and made her look at him.

“From the first time that I set my eyes on you, I already felt that you were someone special but I was too dumb to realize and accept my feelings. Then when you where away for those three days, I kept thinking about you everywhere I go, I see you everything I do, you are always in my heart. It was from these three days that I realized and accepted my feelings for you” Nathaniel said as Roxanna stared at him

He held her hand and placed it on his chest.

“From that day onwards, this heart beats and beats only for you Roxy. Roxanna, I’m sorry I made you cry, I made you hurt yourself…seeing you cry is just like my heart have been stabbed over and over again…please forgive me. The truth is that I’m head over heels for you Roxy, I love you much more than you could imagine” He said staring deep into her eyes.

Roxanna mouth parted as she stared at Nathaniel, not being able to believe what he was saying.

“I guess actions speak louder than words” He said.

He drew her closer to him by the waist and then leaned towards her as he claimed her lips, kissing her tenderly and passionately.

Roxanna froze such as her brain. She wasn’t able to record it in her brain. Nathaniel, her long time crush and her first love is kissing her.

He bit her lips begging for entrance and Roxanna found herself giving into the kiss.

She wrapped her hand round his neck and pulled him closer as she kissed him with him doing magic to her tongue…

The whole crowd was in an uproar as they screamed. Some took pictures, some took videos while others where busy screaming and cheering for them.

The girls stood by the corner and smiled as they hugged themselves while watching the romantic scene infront of them.

After some minutes they broke they kiss in order to catch their breaths.

Nathaniel released her and turned to the crowd.

“Hey everyone out here, listen to me. You see that beautiful and charming lady over there? I love her, I love her so much. I can do anything just to make her smile… Now if anyone try some shits with her, you’re gonna be facing me because I can ki*ll for her. She’s my joy giver, my second mother, my heart keeper, my smile giver…infact she’s all to me. I LOVE YOU ROXANNA MARTINEZ, I’M CRAZY OVER YOU GIRL” Nathaniel screamed facing the crowd as they recorded everything.

Roxanna all along was busy blushing and smiling widely while holding her chest which was beating very fast.

He turned and to Roxanna

“I love you Roxanna, never you doubt that” He said and pulled her in for a hug.

They broke the hug and he looked down at her. He ducked her hair behind her ears and then leaned forward as he kissed her tenderly.

While they were busy having their romantic moments together, Cordelia was in her car burning with anger as watched them.

“What’s the name of that girl?” She asked her driver…

“Roxanna Martinez” The driver replied.

She turned up her window and the driver drove them away.
