Chapter 10

Quensilla's POV

I felt tired. Not physically just mentally. The fact that I had to face him today after last night was just weighing in my mind.

I couldn't do it..

So I stayed, leaning against the headboard until around noon. The door slowly opened and I held my breathe, instantly turning my head.

"Hey . ." He softly murmurs and I sigh.

"Hey. ."

"How are you?" The bed dips and I lean my head on my knees.

"Fine." Its silent and I bite my lip.

"I'm sorry. ." He whispers and I take in a sharp breath. "I'm sorry for kissing you. And for overwhelming you, and for my stupid behaviour and for hurting you." Then he grabbed my chin forcing me to look at him and his crazy bed hair. "I'm sorry for what I did those years ago, I'm sorry for blaming you, I'm sorry. And I know no matter how many times I apologize that you still feel that pain, but I want you to know that it wasn't my intention to get let you deal with all that on your own. I thought you'd be better off. I thought that maybe I was doing you a favour, but I didn't realize that I was hurting you until you left and now its too late." The stupid tears had returned and I sighed.

It seemed like college all over again. I wasn't going to just let him back in, honestly I was entirely sure that I would even try to develop a relationship with him, but maybe, just maybe I could have a. . .friendship.

One where I could just get rid of the bitterness so I nodded.

"I. . I forgive you."

"You don't." He sighs and I bite my lip.

"I'm trying to." I whisper and he nods.

"May we start over? A friendship?"

Exactly what I wanted so I nodded.

"Strictly friendship."

The next day the three of us, Chase, Theodore and I decided to go walking around. It wasn't. . that awkward but there was a bit of a strain since Chase demanded that I stay next to him, and I knew exactly what he was doing.

I found myself lost as I looked around in the crowd. The guys were no where to be seen and my eyes were wide as I didn't even speak their language.

Crap, crap, crap.

I just got here! I'm going to die. Yep. Someone is going to kidnap me and I'm going to be shi—

"Are you lost?" Someone says with a heavy French accent and I turn to see a man with kind blue eyes and somewhat long brown hair. He was very handsome, extremely tall. . well everyone was taller than me. . and he was muscular and he spoke English!

"Is it that obvious?" I laugh nervously still glancing around.

"A little bit." He smiled and I was immediately breathless. Pearly white teeth that nearly blinded me. Dang it.

"I am. . I was with two men but—"

"Those?" He pointed to Theodore and Chase who was busy running  towards me and I breathe a sigh of relief. "I suppose one of them is your boyfriend then?" He tilts his head.

"Oh . .actually no. I'm a single Pringle!"

"A what?" He looks confused.

"Its just an American expression to say that im—"

"Quensilla!" Theodore pulls me into him and I can't help but stiffen a bit. "You can't just wander off."

"I didn't." I snap.

"Um you kinda did." Chase tilts his head. "But looks like you had company."

My eyes snap back to the curious looking man and he finds mine, smiling a bit.

"I'm Peter. Peter Petroverse" He says, and his accent. Damn.

"Oh I know you, you're the man who owns 'Who Are You'." Chase grins as I gape.

Who Are You is one of the most successful modeling agency world wide, and I am now standing in front of the man who owns it all.

"Oh my goodness." I whisper and his face drops a little.

"Is something wrong." He asks and I shake my head.

"Its just that it's. . its you!" I gape even more and he grins. "And. .I—"

"Well it was nice to meet you but we must be going." Theodore says dryly and I frown at his rudeness.

"Yes yes. As a CEO yourself you must be really busy." Peter says. "Here's my card. . use the number." He winks and I smile.

"I might." Theodore tenses but I ignore this waving as Peter walks away.

"I can't believe you just bumped into Peter Petroverse." Chase almost squeals and I grin.

"Me neither!" I nearly shake with excitement.

"Can you believe it Theodore?"

"You sound like a woman, stop acting like a pu—"

"Okay." I interrupt at his grumpy tone, actually excited that I met someone so important.

"I own a company too Y'know. People beg me to buy islands. Just because he hires people who purposefully starves themselves"

"Hey!" I snap. "Don't be insensitive. Lots of people do it for different reasons so don't act like a know-it-all." I roll my eyes and Chase nods agreeing with me.

"Whatever."

"Jealousy is a crime Theodore." Chase teases as we exit the elevator of the hotel. and Theodore swings for him, but Chase just cackles running to his hotel room.

You know when you're trying to sleep. .

But instead of sleeping your phone won't stop beeping. .

I just had yet another suspicious conversation with Daniella and I was trying to keep myself from growing wings and flying back home.

Frustratedly, I grab my phone and all the messages said were,

Come outside. - unknown

Are you asleep?- unknown.

Or maybe you're ignoring me- unknown.

And the last one.

Alright I know this may seem like I'm a stalker, but just step outside just for a little while.

Furrowing my eyebrows I knew better than to to outside because a strange message told me to.

But I was curious.

Slipping on my fuzzy slippers with a rabbit sitting at the top of each, I slowly and quietly made my way outside.

Once there I was confused.

There was nothing—

OH MY BUBBLENUGGETS!
