Chapter 20

Tomorrow came faster than I would have wanted. I didn't want to be separated from Namjoon. Somehow I had gotten used to spending my precious time with Namjoon. I was so used to sitting around in his presence and doing everything together. So much for not being attached. I was completely attached.

Today I had plans to spend time with Kahina. If she were coming alone to visit I wouldn't be dreading this visit. Why was she bringing a stranger along. She knew how much I despise small talk so why would she arrange such a thing. I hugged Namjoon tighter before I woke up and left his room quietly and before heading to mine.

It was early and I didn't want to wake him. He has so much on his shoulders, letting him sleep in was the least I could do. On the other hand if I continued to monopolize Namjoon as I have been doing in the past few days, the other members will come looking for him. And I didn't want to bring about any sort of misunderstanding.

Imagine them finding me in his bed, naked...the kind of questions they would have. If the roles were reversed I would also ask a ton of questions. Like how did you meet ? Can you trust her? Has she signed an NDA ? These were just a few I came up with but trust me they would have so much more.

In order to avoid embarrassment and my presence being questioned I ran away to my room. I took another nap before I woke up , took a shower and dressed for whatever Kahina was planning. I chose a simple black bodycon dress. You can never go wrong with black unless your going to the Barbie movie premiere. Don't do that!!!!

Anyway Kahina called and informed me of their arrival. They decided to sit at the pool area. I didn't think much of this meeting but knowing Kahina, she must have something hidden up her sleeves.

I collected my phone , lipgloss and shades and left the room. I hoped this meeting worked out well. I did not want to waste the rest of my afternoon on nonsense. I had only a few days of vacation left and if possible I wanted to spend them with Namjoon.

I dragged myself to the elevator. I really didn't want to go. Maybe I should use the stairs and waste about two hours. However taking the stairs was tiring and I didn't want to sweat for no reason. I pressed the button and waited for the elevator to go down. To my surprise the elevator stops at Kim Namjoon's floor. I forgot I didn't say goodbye this morning.

Aaaih! It doesn't have to be him using the elevator. The doors open and I'm facing not only Namjoon but also the other six member. They were all in shorts....damn! I turned away and started fiddling with my phone. What was I supposed to say? I should pretend I don't know them.....right?

They continued talking on the elevator ride without paying me any attention. When we reached the ground floor, they got off first with me following closely behind. I felt like I was stalking them. Why were we heading in the same direction again? They sat on a table next to Kahina's . What the actual fuck was happening.

I headed to Kahina's table without glancing at them. Kahina was on her feet when she saw me and pulled me in for a hug. She then moved aside to introduce her friend. The supposed friend was a  very handsome black man. He stood up and I gasped in shock at his height.

He was as tall as Namjoon. Wait why was I comparing him to Namjoon? They are two totally different men. He also hugged me before he sat down. I took a random seat hopping to not be in Namjoon's sight. But you know as usual it was the actual opposite. I was directly facing him. We shouldn't be surprised at this point. This has happened to me too many times to faze me.

I ignored his glare that was directed to me and focused on my friends. Yes, he was glaring at me and no , I don't know why. Kahina introduced the guy as Dani from Ghana. He works at the same company as her. Which once again I will remind you , I don't know what she does for a living.

Dani is twenty eight years old from a rich family in Ghana. He is what other girls would describe as tall, dark and handsome. I had to admit he was handsome and polite. We spoke a bit with Kahina filling out the akward pauses . Kahina really wanted me to get along with this guy. She put in too much effort, something she doesn't do easily.

Dani told us about his family in Ghana. Apparently they were rich from way before the countries Independence . They had ancestral wealth.  It was my first time meeting someone like him.

" Why did you come to America?" I asked as I was curious because once again they were rich.

Didn't rich kids take care of their families wealth by inheriting the companies and stuff like that?

" I came to get some work experience"

" So you'll go back home?" I asked

" Yes, I want to stay in America for another year before I go back"

" Oooh okay "

" Stop asking about his job and ask about his personal life" Kahina insisted

"Why should I?"

My question infuriated Kahina but made Dani laugh. Kahina started pouting as a result.

" Fine fine .....I'll ask"

" Are you dating anyone?" I asked Dani to make Kahina happy.

I didn't care for his status. I felt nothing when I looked at him. No butterflies. No spark. No chemistry whatsoever.

" No I'm not" he said.

I found it hard to believe he was single. This man was s too handsome to be single. Maybe he has a terrible personality. It could be, although ,I didn't get that vibe from him. He was nice, like genuinely nice not just fake nice. I can sniff those from a mile away.

I wondered why Kahina would introduce him to me yet he was exactly her type. Everything about him was her type. I went along with the conversation until it was time for them to leave. I hugged Kahina goodbye before she left us . A sly fox. I was flustered while Dani laughed it off.

We could both see it as clear as day what Kahina was trying to achieve. We shook hands but it felt akward . Before I knew it Dani was hugging me tightly.

" I wish to see you again" Dani whispered in my ear .

I pulled away and agreed to another meeting. I knew I sound wicked as I knew I was leaving soon. I meant we can talk on the phone nothing else. Dani and Kahina officially left after that.

" Well that's that" I said to myself before leaving " maybe I should go to my secret hideout and chill"

When I reached the hideout my phone signalled a message. When I opened the message I found it was Dani.

It was nice to see you. I hope to see you soon.

" He is tenacious, I'll give him that" I said to myself.

" Who?"
