C5 Chapter 5

“Am really sorry” Sonya apologize again to get his attention. “Yeah, am also sorry” Maxwell replied. He felt a tag in his heart and felt drawn to her.

“you are?” Maxwell asked her.

“Sonya”

“are you one of the guest here? Cause you don’t look like one" he asked again.

“no am not and am just here to look for someone and I mistakenly enter the wrong place” she said and made an attempt to leave. “wait! don’t you need any help with your clothes?" he asked not wanting her to leave so soon.

"No don’t bother, it's fine. I will just make do with this" she said and remove the handkerchief in his chest pocket to clean it. Maxwell was slightly surprised at her action but did not show it. she actually used his handkerchief without permission he really detest people touching his stuff but surprisingly he was not angry, he was rather okay with it. Sonya saw the way he looked at her and thought maybe it was because she took his handkerchief. “sorry” she apologize. Maxwell did not answer her and kept looking her.

“are you angry? I don’t mean to use your stuff without permission” she said again.

“is he really angry because of an ordinary handkerchief? He look so handsome and rich, why will he be bothered about something so petty” she thought. Maxwell was thinking about something else. Her voice was so soft and sweet. He could not help staring at her. He moved his eyes from her face and scan her body. she looks young like an eighteen year old girl, beautiful and charming. He wonder if this is what is said to be love at first sight. He look back to her face and rest his eyes on lips. For the first time, he felt the urge to kiss a woman so badly he stare at so deeply that he unconsciously soak on his lips. Sonya saw that he just keep standing there, looking at her in a weird manner.

“pervert” she said without realizing it and Maxwell came back to his senses.

“what did you just call me?” he asked surprised at her choice of word.

“did he stare too much” he wonder.

“sorry, you were looking at me in a weird manner that’s why?” she replied.

"Follow me, i will take you to go change" He said instead. Sonya looked at him doubtfully and hesitate but Maxwell has already start walking forward and she cant go around with wine stain on her, so she just followed. He walk far away from the hall and stopped at the entrance of another room and entered Sonya stood at the door not sure if she should enter but he pull her in and closed the door behind them. she stood behind the door refusing to move any further. Maxwell turn to her and move nearer to her. Sonya shift back almost entering the wall and try to turn the knot of the door and escape but before she could Maxwell already use his hand to block her from opening the door.

“why? you think am going to do something to you? Then why do you follow me inside?” he asked placing his hand on the both side to stop her from escaping.

“that’s true, why did she follow a total stranger and a guy at that” she thought.

“if you try anything I will scream” she threaten to scare him. Maxwell smile at her behaviour.

“don’t worry I wont do anything to an underage” he said and remove his hands and move backward from her.

“who are you calling underage, am an adult” she snap at him. Maxwell laughed and move further away.

"Am not gonna bite you and beside you standing doesn't prevent anything so relax and sit down i will ask someone to bring you something to wear" he said instead and sat down. she move away from the door and also sat down a little away from him and look away. Maxwell rub off the sweat on his forehead and sigh heavily that even Sonya turn to look at him. He was surprise at himself for having these kind of thought. When he was closer to her, he felt he could not control himself from doing something to her but the look on her face made him to. He knew it was wrong to think like that about someone he just met but he could not help it and wonder what kissing her will be. After a moment of silence, he tried starting a conversation

"so why are you here if you are not part of the party?" he asked and Sonya gave him a look that says

“What's our business with that?” but she said but he keep staring at her excepting a n answer so she answered reluctantly.

"am here to attend a wedding” she replied him calmly.

“so are you here for the bride or the groom?"

"actually i don’t know both i followed someone here"

“so you mean you don’t know the couples?" he asked surprised. “well i can say i kind of know them since we are on the same social app together" Maxwell looked confused

"you mean you just meet people online and attend their wedding without knowing them?" Sonya rolled her eyes as she answered him

"yes, the world is more exposed now, so stuff like this normal” she answered and saw that Maxwell still does not understand her meaning.

“my cousin’s girlfriend actually told about this. There is this app where you chat with different people all over the world, it seems like a chat room just like Facebook but its different. Its for meeting people and identity are not to be revealed and so on. Amy is the leader of her chat room and both of the couple are in her chat room so she got invited automatically and I just tag along” she explained. While Maxwell just keep staring at her and nodding his head. She waited for him to say something and continue when there was no response from him.

"also you get to use a really funny and cool username, my username is bitch boss” she said satisfy with the username she picked for herself.

“what kind of dumb username is that? Why would a girl call herself a bitch” he thought. But looking at her he found that she is more beautiful than he thought. and noticed that he already spaced out
