Chapter three

Its been three weeks, since that kiss.

My first kiss 💋. I and Ken have been seeing each other frequently, I've have gotten a lot of kisses too from him but I know its not right, but I'm enjoying it,,, so have decided to just go with the flow.

My phone rings.... checking the Caller's ID, I saw it was my best friend Sam. Only friend actually. I take the call.

"Hey bestie." he said.

"Yeah yeah, how are you?"

"I'm very OK, are you free today?" he asked

"Yeah, what's up?" I asked

"I'll see you, meet me outside your house, so we can leave. You know I can't come your house." He said.

"Alright, will do just that, just call me when you're here."And I hung up.

How we becames friends, still amazes me till today. Its was in primary school, being me, I had no friends, I was a tranfaree and I've been in my new school for half a year. Always at the top of the class,,,,, bold, smart, shy & very reserved. It was during break in between classes, I sat at the roof top, my usual place, reading a book. While other kids go out for lunch and play during breaks, I don't. Always on my own. Then this cute 9yrs old walked up to me, took a seat and started talking incessantly ...

"Hi I'm Sam, and I know your Laura right? "

I just turned, looked at him and then went back to my book, snobbing him.

"I'll like to be friends with you, what you say about that?" He asked

Ok, now he was irritating me, couldn't he see I was trying to avoid him?

"No. "I answerered.

"Ok fine don't be my friend, but let's me be talk buddy. "

"You won't give up, would you?

No I wouldn't. " he smiled.

Ok, friends then, I extended my hand, he shook and that's how we've been inseparable till now."

I'm yet to tell Sam about Ken, he's been avoiding me or maybe he's not. Maybe I'm just thinking things so I'll tell him today.

My phone rang again, this time, its Ken. I just talked to him about 39mins ago, and he's still calling. I'm used to it now because that's how its been since he got my number. Always calling to check up on me, to tell me he misses me and sometimes, just irrelevant stuff. He's so sweet.

"Hey. "

"Hey babe, how're you? "

"I'm ok, how're you? "

"Fine too.... Wanna see you later, come over." He said

"Oh, I'm so sorry I can't, I've have plans for later. "

Silence.....

"Ok, no problems, I'll see tomorrow then? "

"Yeah, tomorrow. Bye"

"Bye bye",,, he hung up.

Now it just to dress up, and sneak out of house unnoticed when Sam calls me.....

Ken's POV

She said she was busy, what was she doing that she ditched me for? I thought.

   I was getting restless, by every passing minute, I tried calling her but she wasn't taking her calls. Damn!!!.

  Slipping a shirt, over my head I wore my shoes and headed to her  house.

On getting there, I saw her parents outside the house.

"Hey, Aunt Vero, I hugged her.  "Good day sir. " I nod at her Dad.

"You look worried, what's wrong?"

"Thank God, you came on time Ken, Laura's missing, and I can't find her!!,, she's not the type, to just up and leave without telling us her whereabouts, please do something Ken, I'm so scared and her Dad's not well to look for her." She said tears dripping down her face.

"Dont worry Aunt, I promise I'll find her, you two just go inside and rest."

   Where do I start from now, damn, where could she have gone to? I wondered. I tried calling her, but she still aint taking her calls.

I didn't plan on doing this anytime soon, but for her I have to do it. Taking out my phone again, I called my head of security team.

"Good day sir,you never call. What's the problem?" Jaw asked.

Skipping the pleasantries exchange, I said get the team together at my house right now, I'll meet you there. I hung up, before he could reply.

    I'm pretty wealthier than even what Laura knows. Since I got back from the states, I keep my security guards at a distance just want to keep everything down, no much drama and don't wanna get Laurie uncomfortable around me. But today, I need to break my own rules for  her, can't lose her now,,,, I just can't. what if she's been kidnapped?? No, I can't think that way, I just hope she's safe.

"Track her phone. " I said immediately I got into the house.The night was already closing in, and still no trace of her, her phone was now switched off.

   About  an hour later, My men were  able to locate her.

"Everybody move now!!!" I ordered.

"Get the Car ready. " I said to the Asian looking guy. "I don't even know thier names🙄.

We headed towards her location, seemed she was moving because her location, was slowly changing. We just continued following the lead on the device till we saw her....

   Baby wasn't alone, she was with a boy and the way they held hands. she lied to me, she has a boyfriend but she fucking lied  to me!!! Damn it.

"Get the boy, and I'll get Laura."I ordered.

"Yes sir. " They all chorused,stepping out of the car. When we got out, Laura and her boyfriend,  stopped walking the boy whispered something to Laurie, and they both turned around and ran...

"Go after them, now!!!." Now I was Mad, how dare he touch her, not to even talk of running with her from me. Whoever he is, he's dead meat, he obviously has a dead wish which I'll happily grant.

The sound of my ringtone, got me out of my thoughts.

"Sir, they're headed towards the junction, you could stop them that way. "while he was still speaking, I had already stepped into my car and was driving like a Mad man, towards the Junction. I got there just in time to see Laura on the ground, groaning in pain and blood.

"Laura!!!".... I screamed, running over to her side.

"Laura!!!!!" I turn to see the fool she was earlier with, he tried coming close to my Laurie, I stopped him before he could by punching him so hard in the face, he stumbled backwards.

"Beat him up, and keep him locked up till I get back, we both have got some serious talking to do."And with that, I took an unconscious Laura in my arm, and headed straight for my house.....
