“Have missed you” Seven whispered again, wrapping his arms around her more tightly.
Seven sudden appearance left Tessa feeling stunned and that’s why she stood still in his arms but when she recovered, she push him away.
“Tessa” Seven called looking a bit hurt.
Giving him a angry look, she climb the rest of the stairs hoping he wouldn’t follow, but he did.
“Tessa, we’ve got to talk. I know am the least person you would want to see but I came back for….” He didn’t get to complete his words because she slap him real hard.
“Get lost!” She let out fiercely before running down the hall and into her room.
Seven made his way to Blair room and she couldn’t help but to notice the red mark on his face.
“Don’t tell me you’ve met Tessa?” Blair asked and he gave her a angry look.
“Did you think she would open her arms wide and take you back? Dude, you cheated on her with me, remember?” Blair mocked.
“I did, I gave up someone special to be with nothing” Seven stated angering Blair.
“Hey! Am something okay and don’t deny that apart from the s*x , you were also lured in by my money”
“Your right, your money and your alluring self lured me away from Tessa and I don’t plan for that to happen again”
“Don’t worry, you are safe with me since am no longer interested in you and besides you are here to do your best in making Tessa yours, so put your focus on that” Blair replied.
“Will Connor want me here since he knows who I am?” Seven asked.
“Don’t worry, you are my guest tonight and he wouldn’t want to ruin granny’s party ” Blair assured.

^^ Evening ~ Party time ^^
“Don’t you think we are too early?” Cynthia asked as she and Melody got out of the taxi.
“I doubt that, I can hear music coming from inside ” Melody replied as she began dancing ahead, Cynthia would have follow if she hadn’t gotten a call from Bobby.
“I have to take this call, go ahead” Cynthia told Melody who went in.
“Where’s everyone?” Melody muttered when she saw no one.
“Your finally here” Chris voice got her smiling.
“We definitely can’t miss it but where is everyone?” Melody asked.
” The party is being taken place in the inner garden, just walk through that entrance. Everyone is there” Chris informed.
“Where’s Cynthia?” He asked when he saw no sign of her.
“Outside, she’s receiving a call” Melody replied before hurriedly making her way to the inner garden.
Fixing his tux properly, Chris went outside and when he saw Cynthia, he could fight the surge of desire he felt by just starring at her.
She had her back to him and didnt notice his presence. Chris slowly walk towards her only to stop when he heard what she said.
“Hmm… I love you too, Bobby”
That got him feeling hurt and instead of approaching her like he wanted to, he went back into the mansion.

^^ Inner Garden ^^
“You look lovely birthday lady” Connor compliment as he danced at the centre with his granny while everyone watch.
“I am lovely” Granny Susie stated which got them laughing.
“Thanks granny for everything. When our parents died, I felt lost but then thanks to you. I was able to pull through, I really love you” Connor said and that got granny Susie feeling touch.
“Stop flattering me and go meet Tessa, you must have finish wooing her right?”
“I made a mistake and she’s angry at me, I haven’t seen her since this afternoon” Connor said his gaze drifting around the party.
“Then go look for her. Girls tend to wait for the guys to take the first step, so go to her” Granny Susie urged.
“But what about…”
“Enough with Connor, it’s my turn to dance with Granny” Frederick said as he pulled her out of Connor arms.
Connor was about to begin his search when Clarissa approach him.
“Can we talk?”
“Am busy”
“Are you still angry at me for what happen that day?” Clarissa asked as she held onto his hand.
“I am and so I want you to leave me alone”
“But I already told you that Blair planned everything, I knew nothing” Clarissa lied.
“Really? Blair told me something different” Connor replied not buying her lie.
“I didn’t mean to hurt you Connor, I only wanted you to know how I…”
“Am sorry Clarissa but I have to go” Connor cut her off and she stood watching him walk off while tears glisten her eyes.

^^ Workers Room ^^
Tessa sat at a table watching the workers hired for the party do their thing when Cynthia joined her.
“Why are you staying in the workers lounge when the party is outside” Cynthia asked.
“To avoid two people ” Tessa replied.
“One must definitely be Connor but who is the other one?” Cynthia asked.
“Seven”
“Seven! What the hell is he doing back here?” Cynthia yelled while Tessa caution her to lower her voice.
“I don’t know but he told me that he missed me” Tessa said.
“I trust that you would have given him a punch on that ugly face of his!”
“I did but I can’t help but to wonder why he’s back cause I doubt that it’s because of me” Tessa said looking confused.
“Look at me!” Cynthia said and Tessa complied. “Seven is a thing of the past and that’s where he belongs. You deserve to be happy but not with a loser like him, it definitely has to be someone better, someone like Connor” Cynthia suggested.
“Why are you bringing Connor into this?” Tessa ask as she turn away from her.
“Why can’t I? It’s obvious that he’s crazy about you and he’s very handsome too. Melody will certainly agree with me… come to think of it, where is Melody?” Cynthia asked as she pull out her phone .
“Did you bring Melody along?” Tessa asked.
“Yea, Chris invited us both”
“You shouldn’t have, you know how crazy she gets when it comes to guys. We’ve got to go find her before she does something embarrassing” Tessa said as they both left the workers lounge.

“Woah…this house is enormous” Melody whispered to herself as she continued her tour of the house instead of being at the at the garden
She took the stairs, wanting to explore some more when she saw someone.
“Isn’t that Seven?” She muttered as she move towards the guard rail to have a closer look.
“It is him! What the hell is that scumbag doing here?”she muttered as she rest her whole body on the rail wanting to know where he’s headed to but she lost her footing and would have fallen if someone hadn’t pulled her back.
The hand on her waist pulled her hard which got her sitting on his lap.
“Are you trying to kill yourself?” The deep sexy voice got her starring at the guy on who she was sitting on his lap.
A pair of deep blue eyes greeted her and she couldn’t help but to get lost in it’s beauty.
“Are you deaf?” Nicole asked and slowly she shook her head.
“Am not, I just… You are handsome” she told him bluntly.
“Am sorry if that shocked you but you truly are handsome. Did anyone ever tell you that?” She asked, smiling up at him.
“Judging by your question, you must obviously be okay and so…”
“I am single…do you have a girlfriend?” Melody asked.
“What does that have to do with this situation?”
“Cause I plan on being your girlfriend ” Melody stated and sat herself properly on his legs before wrapping her arms around his neck.
Nicole was stunned by her confession and he wouldn’t deny that she is very pretty herself.
“Aren’t you gonna get down?” Nicole asked referring to her sitted on his laps.
“I kind of twisted my ankle when you pulled me, I can’t walk right now. Can you take me back to the party?” She asked twinkling her eyes up at him.
Nicole cleared his throat and wheeled them both into the elevator.

Fiona let out a sigh for the fifth time, she found the party boring and would have left but it’s her granny party, she can’t possibly leave.
She thought as she pick up a glass of orange juice, she was about to drink it when she saw Lola and Frederick kissing a distance away.
He must have seen her because he push Lola away from him. Feeling hurt, Fiona took to her heels and she was wiping off her tears when she walk into someone.
“Am sorry, I didn’t…”
“Are you okay,Fiona?” Cynthia asked starring at her worriedly.
“Miss Cynthia” she called forcing a smile on her face. ” I didn’t expect to see you here” she added wiping off her tears.
“Well, Chris invited me and…you aren’t okay, what’s wrong?” Cynthia asked as the tears kept pouring from Fiona eyes no matter how many times she wipe it off.
“Fiona!” Frederick call got her moving into Cynthia arms for protection.
“It’s not what you think…let’s talk this out” Frederick said but the crying Fiona shook her head.
“This isn’t the right time to talk, Its best you let her be” Cynthia said.
“Please Miss Cynthia. I really have to talk to her, she got the wrong idea about something and I have to make it clear to her” the desperate plea in Frederick voice got Cynthia saying to Fiona.
“Let him explain okay. It’s best you both sort out ” Cynthia said and immediately Frederick took hold of Fiona’s hand, pulling her off.
Fiona was wiping her tears when she noticed that they were going to the mansion.
“Let’s just talk here” she said standing her ground.
“What I have to say is very important, let’s go to our room” Frederick said as he pulled her up stairs.
As soon as they were in his room, he pulled her close, giving her a tight hug.
“Lola’s kiss meant nothing, she took me by surprise. Its only you that I want, so stop crying cause I hate it when you do” Frederick said as he gave her a kiss on the neck.
Fiona felt relieve knowing that Lola means nothing to him but the guilt she felt with what’s happening between them came back to haunt her and slowly she move out of his arms.
“You don’t have to explain to me. You can date whoever you want, I don’t care”
“Lies! You are just saying that to send me away right? I won’t buy it ” Frederick replied.
“Think whatever you want, I have to return to the party” she said as she made to walk past him but got stopped when Frederick wrap his arms around her from behind.
“Don’t push me away Fiona. I know that what we feel for each other is wrong but we can’t help it, I love you and I know you feel the same way” Frederick said and Fiona tried to hold back the tears that threatened to spill.
“And that’s why we’ve got to keep our distance” she said this as she turn to him.
“I can’t do that Fiona, I can’t stay away from you” he said as he claim her lips.
Fiona didn’t dare fight him cause she has been longing for his lips on hers.
When the kiss grew hot between them, she pulled away from him.
“We should stop kissing each other” Fiona whispered feeling breathless.
“I can’t help myself. Everything about you is perfect, I want you Fiona!” Frederick admitted.
“Well, I don’t want you and just so you know. I told granny that I want to study in Australia and as we speak, Connor is preparing everything for me”
“You did what?”
“You heard me, so do well to stay away until the day I leave for Australia ” Fiona replied before running out of the room feeling more hurt for what she said to Frederick.

Cynthia was still searching for Melody when she saw Chris at a table, he seemed drunk…she thought as she walk towards him.
“Chris are you…” She stop short when he gave her a angry look.
Getting out of his seat, he staggered off and worriedly Cynthia followed him.
He made his way to the pool and pulling off his shoe, he jump into the water before she could stop him.
“Chris! You are drunk, get out of the water” Cynthia called out to him.
“I feel more refresh. You should try it too” Chris said as he kept swimming in the water.
“But you are drunk, you should try swimming some other time”
“If I come out now, will you swim with me some other time?” Chris asked.
“Yes. Now come out” she said stretching her hand towards him.
Chris took hold of her hand and pulled her into the water instead.
“Are you crazy! ” Cynthia yelled
“I want you to swim with me now” Chris said as he laugh out.
“Like seriously you are…”
“Do you love Bobby?” Chris asked suddenly looking serious.
“Of course not”
“Then why did you tell him that you love him?” Chris asked as he swim towards her.
“Were you listening in on my call earlier?” She asked and slowly he nodded.
“And is that why you glared at me when I approach you some minutes ago ?” She asked and his answer was to wrap his arms around her waist beneath the water.
“Yes. Its also the reason why I got drunk and also the reason why am currently in this water with you” he said starring at her face.
“Chris you are drunk and…” Cynthia let out a gasp when he held her cheek.
“I want to kiss you, can I?” Chris asked and when Cynthia said nothing, he gave her a kiss.

“Where is she?” Tessa muttered as she went around searching for Melody.
She was about going to the mansion when Seven obstruct her path.
“We’ve got to talk” he said.
“Have told you to get lost” she said.
“I know you did and I deserve it but you need to know why am here, you need to know that I still love you”
“Love? You don’t know the meaning of love!” She said pushing him aside but he took hold of her hand.
“I do and I know now that you are the only girl for me, I also know that you are single, you must have been waiting for me because you still felt something right?” Seven asked.
“Wrong!” Connor said as he approach them.
“Tessa isn’t single” he added as he push Seven hand off of her.
“Tessa is mine since she’s my fiancee, right honey?” Connor asked starring at her.
Taking this as a chance to get Seven off her back for good, she took hold of Connor’s hand.
“You are right Sweetie, am all yours” she said giving him a smile….
