Chapter 30
Nathan was a Sophomore student at Cleveland State University and a very good friend to Derrick and Audrey, they all grew up together until sixth grade when Nathan left for Boston with his mum, his mum hot a very beautiful Job at Boston, the Job came with a house for the family, a health insurance policy for the family anda mouth watering salary for the mother, it was an opportunity she could not decline as she knew it would help their family as they were not earning much in Cleveland. Despite the fact that he left Cleveland he never failed to keep in touch with his friends back home, they constantly called each other and sent each other mail and messages. Sophie was the main person who kept in touch.
Nathan was the only one amongst their friends who knew their deep-seated secrets that they were all werewolves and Sophie was mated to Derrick, he kept it nevertheless because he knew that there was no point in spilling the beans, this was until Derrick’s mother died. When their mother died he and his mum flew all the way from Boston to console the family on the loss of their matriarch. Things between Nathan and the Brown’s became south from there, not like they ever fought or anything but maturity and age had a lot to do with it. After his sojourn in Boston he decided that he did not want to remain there as he had a very dirty past that he wanted to bury with him, so he decided to go school in the town he grew up in, that is what brought him to Cleveland State University. He bumped into Sophie on one of her daily travels outside Cleveland, they bonded over a cup of coffee and kept communication since but never for once did she bring up the Browns that she was still in communication with him, she did not know how they would react to it.
Unknown to her Nathan was at the party they went she bumped into him on her way to the restroom
“Hey, watch where you are going” she snapped.
” I’m so- ” he got cut off by the presence of the familiar face he just saw
“Sophie, Sophie Carter, how are you?” he said.
All this while Sophie did not look up to see who bumped into her or who she bumped into, she was busy cleaning the drink that spilled on her dress; it was at the sound of the familiar voice and her name that she looked up.
” Nathan, what’s upppp, I never knew you to be the party type” she said
“First of all, I’m sorry for bumping into you and spilling drink all over your dress, now it will take a fortune to clean the mess” he apologized.
” No, no it is fine I would do something about it, most likely give it to the dry cleaner or maybe dispose of it if they can’t clean it off”.
“Wait, what are you doing here and are you here alone or you came with Derrick?” He asked
This made her burst into laughter because the thought of Derrick coming to a party, what’s more a frat party, made sounded funny to her. Derrick in his life would never ever go for a party even if it were to bring his dead mother from the grave.
“What’s funny?” he asked , ” had he said something wrong, or was it what he was wearing?” he thought .This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“No, No Nathan, Derrick doesn’t go to parties he doesn’t even like one, this is even a frat party there is no way in hell he would go, Derrick hates Frat parties and treats them like plague” she said, calming down his fear.
“Ooh, and I wish he was here could bond over a bottle of drink or something” he said
“Sure, that’s a thing you can stop by the house one of these days and check up on us , we don’t bite ” she said.
“By the way I never told them we have been in touch all these years ” she added
“Sure, no problem I will take on your offer” he said and raised a toast to that
“Are you here alone” he asked again
“No no, I came with a girlfriend” she said and smiled.
” I want you to meet her, she is one of the most adorable people I know,” she said and chuckled.
” Alright let’s go” they then proceeded to leave in search of Stephanie.
They both split ways when Nathan asked to stay outside and that they should both come and meet him outside as inside was noisy and full of dancing people’s sweats. Sophie agreed.
The search for Stephanie became a long and excruciating one as she could not seem to find her anywhere even on the dancing floor where everybody was.
” Where could she have gone now” she said to herself, it was not long after that she saw her on the dance floor with her hands all over her body and her hair dangling from her body, she could notice her from afar because her hair gave her out. She began shouting her name from a distance hoping she could sense that she was being called or would even hear her but the music from the Speakers had already overshadowed her voice so she decided to walk up to her.
” Stephanie, I have been calling you but you didn’t hear me” she said and gave her a tap on the shoulder.
” Whaaat, you are spoiling the fun” she said
“Someone looking at you would think that you wanted to come for this party, to think that i forced you to come for this party and you are now more drunk than I am” she said
“Don’t be a party pooper, Soph, come let’s dance” she said, urging Sophie to come dance with her and dragging her to the dance floor.
“No, I am not dancing, I want you to meet somebody he is a friend to the Browns and if you want answers to your questions you better follow me” she said, knowing fully well that was not true, that was the only way she thought of to make Stephanie follow her, she thought that even in her drunken state , if she heard that she would agree to follow her but it still failed
“Well,” Sophie said, leaving her and sounding defeated.
She left Stephanie to go look for Nathan but she found him in the arms of another woman kissing and caressing her, she sighed and hissed.
“Men, how long did she leave him for and he was already with another woman?” She thought to herself and went to sit down.
It was at that point Stella walked up to her
” Babe, thank you so much for coming for this party, I really appreciate and hope you are having fun, your friend looks like she took a whole bottle of liquor” Stella said
” The hangover she is going to have tomorrow will be massive” Stephanie replied and they both laughed.
“So, you know him?” Sophie said while pointing to Nathan who had by this time already unzipped his pants in readiness to enter the girl he had been exchanging spit with since she got out.
