"So are you schooling? Working?" Louis asked as they danced the same dance Mtendere and Alex danced earlier

"I'm going to college" she said

"That's cool" he smiled "where?"

"ABU"

"That's were I am, the odds are definitely in my favor" he grinned earning a chuckle from Alex

"Well I guess I just made a new friend"

"Yeah, I'll be happy to show you around" he said as they pulled away from each other

They slowly walked to the tables

"Is too early to ask for your number?" He asked sheepishly

"Not at all" she said

Louis gave her his phone to punch in her number to which she did before giving back the phone

I'll text you tonight he said as he walked backwards leaving her

"Alright" she nodded before he turned around and disappeared in the crowd

Alex walked to her table and found her mother smiling at her with expectant eyes

"What?" Alex asked smiling as she sat down

"Two handsome boys in a roll? Honey your father is brooding right now" she laughed decently

"He saw?" She widened her eyes "where is he" she looked around

"Don't worry about him, he'll be fine"

"So are they nice?" She asked

"Yeah they are, especially the first one I danced with"

"Hmm ...well there's someone I'd like you meet" Jennifer said as Angelo arrived on the table

"I'm starting to doubt your innocence little noodle"

"You have me a go ahead Angel"

"Mother was watching me like a hawk, I had to betray Dad" he said sitting down

"I couldn't let you boys spoil my daughter's night with your protectiveness"

"Mother-"

"You won't marry her after all"

They sat for a few minutes before Jennifer stood up

"Come on, I have to introduce you to my friend, she's been dying to see you and introduce you to her family"

"I'm guessing you have the same energy as her right now" Angelo said as he stood up with his sister

"I can't deny that" Jennifer chuckled

They walked for a few seconds when they stopped at a table

Sharon Nowels table

Alex suddenly started feeling giddy inside, she was right in front of Sharon, the famous Sharon, the CEO and founder herself

She controlled her happiness so she couldn't embarrass her mother and brother

"Jenny! Finally" Sharon said as she stood up and hugged her before hugging Angelo and Alex

"Please sit"

The three sat on the vacant chairs

"It's about time, I've been dying to see your beautiful children" she said happily

"Likewise, honestly it's weird how we haven't meet them after how long we've know each other" Jennifer chuckled

"I know right" she gave her a knowing look
