CHAPTER THIRTEEN

“You won’t go with me?” Adrian asks and Zane rubbed his forehead as he turned to the guy sprawled across the couch.

“Why should I go with you to a club house?” Zane asked as Adrian turned to him.

“Why can’t you come with me to a club house?” Adrian asked as Zane rubbed his forehead.

“Go drag someone else” Zane replied as Adrian sat up on the couch.

“I’ve told you, there’s no one else to drag. Besides you’ve been working all these while, shouldn’t you chill out a bit?” Adrian asked.

“Even if I want to chill, I’ll do it in my house please” Zane replied as Adrian sighed.

“Either ways, you are coming with me” Adrian said as he laid down on the couch while Zane rubbed the back of his head.

Ever since he had met Adrian the other day, Zane had a different story for his lonely boring life. He didn’t know how to explain or how to make one understand how they became friends just like that. Zane had never felt that comfortable with someone before. it didn’t seat well with him so he had Dylan check him out and to his surprises everything Adrian had said was the truth.

Zane didn’t seem to understand why Adrian was able to share such secretive and important details with a stranger like him. And like he had said, he had gotten him to see his Father and the Fedick deal that he had always hoped for was sealed. The business world was quite shaken by the news.

Despite how Fedick was; they never almost collaborated with other brands and companies. They were also known as the lone star. Like WC itself. Two lone star’s collaborating piqued the interest of others but no one had an explanation for it.

And just like that Adrian barged into his life like that. Zane would never forget the look on Amanda’s face when Adrian had introduced himself as Zane’s best friend. The latter had been shocked and even though had been less than two weeks, the duo got along as if they had been friends since forever. Amanda loved him and in turn, every time he came around; he always had something for her. Amanda had even forced him to learn her girl bands dances.

His lonely life wasn’t just no longer lonely, as long as Adrian was around; his life was no longer boring and now had a lot of spice to it.

Stepping into the club house, Zane had a huge frown on his face. He didn’t understand why at the end of the day; he had still agreed to come to this place. No thanks to Amanda and Adrian again. Zane could feel and see heads turning towards them as Adrian led them to a slightly excluded place in the club.

“Knowing you, I reserved this place in advance” Adrian said with a grin as Zane nodded quietly.

“My cousin owns this club so I can make reservations” Adrian said as Zane folded his arms and nodded.

Adrian started telling Zane a story of one of his many escapades of his at high school and as Zane sipped his wine, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“You are crazy” Zane muttered and Adrian shrugged.

“Going to a high school like that; if I didn’t go crazy well that would be a miracle” Adrian replied and Zane nodded with a small smile. Zane found himself nodding his head to the music as WAP by Cardi B started playing and Adrian started singing along while shouting on top of his lungs.

At the end of first part, Zane stared at Adrian in shock while the other just smiled at him without saying anything.

By the time the song was ending; Zane couldn’t even take a sip out of his wine again. He stared at Adrian in surprise.

“You can sing?” he asked but the question came out more like a statement than a question and Adrian shrugged with a small smile.

Zane didn’t think he had heard such a voice like Adrian’s in a long time. It wasn’t girly or manly but was just the right one. He could easily tone up and down like he had one when he was singing and for some reason Zane felt like if he did the remix of the song, he would enjoy it better than the original version.

“What do you think of my voice?” Adrian asked as Zane nodded.

“Its’ amazing” Zane hollered as the volume of the music seemed to have toned a bit higher.

“It’s getting late, I need to go home” Zane said to Adrian who checked his wristwatch and nodded.

“Let’s stay for a few minutes before leaving” Adrian said as Zane checked his wristwatch and nodded quietly as a figure suddenly appeared in front of them. while Zane wore a blank face; Adrian’s smiling expression reverted to a blank expression in a nano second.

“Adrian when did you get back?” the lady who was dressed in a tight fitting gown asked as Adrian turned to Zane.

“Let’s go” he said as he stood up and attempted to walk away as the girl quickly blocked him.

“Adrian” she called her voice soft as Zane raised an eyebrow while Adrian turned to her, his voice emotionless.

“You know more than anyone how much I work put. If I pushed you right now, you wouldn’t be nursing some bruises. You know that. And for you who cherishes your body more than anything; I’m sure you that you should step back right now” Adrian said as the girl immediately stepped to the side and Adrian walked away.

The lady had only seemed faxed by Adrian’s words for a moment before she turned to Zane wearing a smile.

“Selena Brown. Nice to meet you President Wilson” she said as she stretched her hand towards him. Zane stared at her outstretched hand and then at her face before raising to his feet and walking out too.

Selene stared at her outstretched hand and burst into laughter as he took back her hand.

“Those fuckers, where did they run into each other?” she asked no one in particular as she waltzed back into the crowd.

Zane glanced at Adrian in the car before sighing softly and leaning into the car as he closed his eyes. He could tell that Adrian wasn’t in a good mood but ever since they became friends, Zane had never seen Adrian wear a frown not to talk of a lost and blank expression that he was currently wearing.

“That’s my ex-girlfriend, Selena Brown” Adrian said into the car as Zane opened his eyes.

“She did say her name before I left” Zane replied as Adrian chuckled.

“Still a slut as she is” Adrian muttered as he sighed.

“I told you I came here once in a while right?” Adrian started as Zane turned to Adrian.

“I got lost as usual one day while wondering around and I ran into her. She was so nice and beautiful and she took me home. We became friends and throughout the rest of my stay here, it was spent with her. It didn’t take me long to figure out we were with each other. Stupid right? In just one week but we agreed to date each other even though I was hundreds of countries away” Adrian said as he chuckled.

“Young and stupid I was. So we dated for about eight months. During those times, I would squeeze out time to see her for a day and rush back to school. It was fun until well I discovered that she was cheating on me and that wasn’t all. She was using me to mess around, she was a well-known slut in school. I became the joke of everyone”

“Sick right?”
