After all that work, they went in the main hall for orientation but Elle's eyes were searching for Roman, she finally saw him but girls were taking photos of him, as for him, he didnt give a damn.
Nadia….Our generation is shameless, like how could you take photos of someone right in their face?
Elle….Right! Am angry on his behalf.Look at them all, i really cant stand a chance with him.
Nadia….Believe in yourself rupanzel, guys here are already asking for you number, also, your his type.
Elle….Come on.
Nadia….Am serious, even if he has someone we will just have to snatch him then, but his yours girl.
Elle….Hope so.
Orientation finished and they all went for their lectures.After the first lecture, they headed to the next class.
Nadia….I need to use the washroom, be right back.
Elle….Dont take long.
Nadia left.As Elle was still sitting there, she saw Roman too, he was attending the samw class too, she rushed and texted Nadia.
Elle…."Girl, he is in this same class so am off to him".
She stood up and went to him.
Elle….Aheem! Excuse me, is this seat taken?
Roman….I doubt.
Elle….Then lemme squeeze myself here.Unexpected for a law student to take the sign language lecture.
Roman….Really? Its actually helpful to our course, though not all of them take it.So, what are you majoring in?
Elle….Fashion designing.
Roman….Oh? Thats cool, so you have ideas on fashion and all that, right?
Elle….I very much do, i make research, its my passion.
Roman….Good for you, it suits you well.
Elle….You too, i can already see an attorney or a judge in you, it suits you too.
Roman….Thanks.Wait, is that our lecturer? He looks drunk.
Elle….Hahaha, tell me about it.
Roman….Dude cant be serious, like, he had to drink first to come here?
Elle….Right! His outfit is giving "i hate this but fuck it".
Roman….Hahaha, you did not! But seriously this dude needs to take a nap ASAP.
Elle….Hahahaha, please spare my stomach.
They made fun of the lecturer until he noticed and dismissed them, Nadia was there and she was happy that they were talking.
Roman….Cant believe he dismissed us, "both of you are dismissed from my class as of today".Bruh thinks his cool.
Elle….Hahaha, enough please!
Roman….Now that we are dismissed, what's next? Any plans?
Elle….Am actually heading to this tailoring shop, my mum paid for some extra lessons there then i will head home after that.
Roman….Sounds fun, want me to give you a ride?
Elle….Ofcourse, thanks.
He drove as she told him the exact location while talking about their courses, they easily bonded.
Elle….Thanks for the ride, its an honour to sit in such a ride.
Roman….Hahaha, you think so?
Elle….Of course.
Roman….I should get going now, later.
He left and she went inside smiling and blushing, her teacher was already their.
Elle….Hi sir, are you Peter?
Peter….Elle, right?
Elle….Yes, its me.Nice to meet you.
Peter….Same here.Your in a good mood, was that your boyfriend?
Elle….What?? No, his my friend, we actually go the same university so…yeah.
Peter….I see.Lets start right away.
Elle….Sure.
He showed her the sewing machines and how they, the designs had in his shop and all that she needed to know as they began their first lesson.She sat on the sewing machine as he directed her, but he kept staring at her pretty face.
He admired her on the spot but she didnt notice as her mind was filled with Roman.After, she went home.
Axel….How was your first day?
Elle….The best day ever.
Axel….Good to know, anyways, am heading to the beach to cool down.
Elle….Dont tell me that psycho is still bothering you.
Axel….Dont worry, she is not and am not dumb anymore.I should go now, i will come back with mum once she's done working.
Elle….Okay.
He went to the beach and surfed though this time round, he was alone, not with his friends. Coincidentally, Zara was also there taking pictures and as she was turning to take another picture of the beautiful scene, she captured Axel too.
She stopped and walked closer to be sure if its really him, she gasped in suprise as he ghosted her and she never thought theh will ever meet again.
Axel didnt know she was there, he was sitting in the sand wearing a hoodie with his surf board near him in deep thoughts looking at the waters.
She scratched her eyes in denial to see clearly, she took a deep breath and approached him.
Zara….Life must be great after you ghosted me, right Axel?
Axel turned his head to see who was talking, he was surprised to see Zara as he sometimes thought about her.
Axel….Za…Zara???
Zara….Shocked to see me, right? Same here.
Axel….I thought that….you live in another country.
Zara….And that gave you the right to ghost me, to even block me? I've been dreaming of this day to finally confront you and ask you why?
Axel….Well, um, i think we should let the past be and focus on the current.Whats done is done, we cant take it back.
Zara….Right! Atleast i found someone better.
Axel….Re…really? Then good for you, i should get going and it was really a great pleasure to see you again.
Zara….Same.(I cant let him go again, what if it takes months again to get to see him, i dont want that).
Axel….See ya.
Zara….Hold on…so, um….you…what have you been up to lately? Life?
Axel….Not bad not good.I should really go, my mum must be waiting for me.
That very moment, Selli called him to meet her so that they can go home.He left to go to her but Zara whose heart was still beating for the hot Axel, couldnt skip a chance to start over to even lie about having a boyfriend, so she followed him but he didnt know.
Selli….Have you had fun?
Axel….Not really, lets go mum, its getting cold and you dont have a jacket.
Selli….My caring baby, lets go home.
They got a taxi and it took them home.Zara drove her car back to the mansion where she stays with Romam and their mum Nara.
Zara….Mum, i saw him again.
Nara….That guy?
Zara….Yes mum, he got hotter…and i dont even think i was able to breathe near him.
Nara….You guys never fail to bore me with your love that's always complicated.
Roman….Not me mum, am so done with that crap.
Zara….Just because you had a shitty ex doesn't mean you should give up.Look at me, still hung up on the guy i met once and dated online.
Roman….Alright love guru, am heading out.
Nara….Okay honey but come back soon.
Roman had a problematic and gold digger ex who even cheated on him, so with that experience, he was done with love.
Zara….Mum, where were we?
Nara….Please Zara…
Zara….Come on mum, you know i dont have friends to tell this to.
Nara….Alright! You saw the guy again and failed to breathe.
Zara….Hahaha, mum?! But here's the twist, his mum is the manager at your resort.
Nara….Oh really? So it means he often comes to the beach?
Zara….Exactly! Can you like, invite her mum for a meal in gratitude for her work and tell her to bring her son with her.
Nara….But it doesn't make sense at all.Just go to the beach everyday the same time you met him, he might show up.
Zara….Not helping.
Nara….I thought you were angry and done with him.
Zara….But his so hot mum, once you see him, you will understand my reasons.
Nara….Fine, do whatever but dont come crying to me if he ghosts you again.
Axel and Selli arrived at home, Elle was waiting for them.
Elle….Welcome home guys, mum, Nadia is coming to sleep over later.
Selli….Oh? Why didnt you call her before we eat dinner?
Elle….She has plans first, so, yeah.Axel, what's wrong?
Axel….Nothing, just a little stressed.Am going to shower first.
He left to his room.
Selli….Go and talk to him, he always opens upto you.
Elle….I will try.
Elle went and knocked on his room, he opened for her, they sat on his bed, she leaned her head on his shoulder.
Elle….Tell me, whats on your mind?
Axel….Alot.
Elle….Okay, tell me, i wanna know too.Ever since that crazy girl got you jailed, you've changed alot.You used to be talkative and cheerful, what happened to that Axel who used to tease me all the time, huh?
Axel….I just learned and grew up a little.
Elle….So you still have some unlocked fears, right?
Axel….Many.
