Versatile Chemistry: The Science Of Love Making

CHAPTER 21

I woke up with a cramp in my neck.' This wasn't were I slept.' I thought. Max must have brought me here I thought. I checked the time. I was late! I quickly hit the shower, put on some clothes, grabbed a chocolate bar from my dressing table and drove straight to the lab.
I grabbed my lab coat hanging in front of the research main hall while trying my head band. I walked up to the top floor and soft music was playing in the background. People were everywhere. People in black and white serving drinks and treats. People walking around in elegant dresses. I suddenly felt so self conscious.

" There you are dear." I heard Gregory's voice before I felt his arm on my shoulder.

" What's going on? Why a party?"

" What a question Roxanne. A party? Not a party? A celebration. You guys are a success. You've finally completed it. Max told me all about the quantonium." He said.

" He did?"

" off course. You didn't know about it? I assumed u did since both if you remade it together."

" She off course I knew. W-Where is max?"

" Off to get changed. And I think you should too. You can't attend the party like that." He said.

I didn't look so bad. But then again, I should probably fit in.

I was about to walk away when I realized something.

" Um. Gregory?" He turned to face me.

I gestured to all of me. He seemed to get the message.

" Your mother should take care of that."

Mum. My heart was already dancing just hearing that. I muttered a thank you b4 going to find my mum.

She wasn't That hard to find. She was sitting in one of the Beaches outside the research room.

" Mum!" I exclaimed.

" Roxy!" She said standing up to give me a teddy bear hug.

" I missed you so much mum."

" I've missed you so much too. How's school?" She asked.

"Fine." I replied.

" Gregory invited us for the party, saying it would be best to get something for you so I made a quick stop to the mall." she said.

I took the paper bag, picking out the dress. Wow.
( Picture above)

" It's gorgeous."

" I knew you'd like it. Alicia and I practically had to beg your aunt ivana for the dress. She thought it was too revealing. But after much convincing, she even a staff to model it to show you. Take a look." she said handing me her phone.

I swear I fell in love with it even more.

" Remind me to thank aunt ivana next time." I smiled.

" Alicia said she would have come but she had a date."

" I'm not surprised. She and Tristan are going somewhere." I nudged my shoulder to hers.

She laughed." Now go get changed. We don't want to wait for the main people." She said.

" Thanks mum."

Once she was gone I quickly entered in of the private rooms. Slipping my clothes off I put on the dress. It was perfect. My thoughts immediately went to max. Would he like the dress? Is it too revealing? Well I didn't care. I knew he would swoon. I quickly put on my accessories. Taking the shoes, purse and makeup in the bag. I quickly got ready.

" There you are."

" Dad!"

" Hey kiddo."

He hugged me. It practically spelt out how much we Missed each other.

" You look amazing." He complimented.

" You don't look so bad yourself dad."

He winked at me, while I laughed out.

" I'm proud of you guys."

" I knew you would be."

" Gregory's looking for both of you."

" Both?"

" You and max." He said pointing behind me.

I slowly turned back to see max standing behind us.

A neat black suit, his blonde hair gelled, looking at us as handsome as ever. Somehow, he not buttoning up his first buttons only weakened me.

" Good day Mr and Mrs Stars." Max greeted.

" Max my boy. Good to see you. I hope you're taking care of our daughter." Dad said.

" Oh she's in good hands sir." He winked at me.

My folks laughed.

" Well I'll steal her away now."

They nodded leaving us.

" You look divine baby doll."

" You clean up nicely Vanderbilt." I said

" I'll take that as a compliment."

Soon enough, Gregory called us up stage to recognize us for single handedly composing the quantonium. He informed us that the research will be done tomorrow.

I thing that really bugged me was why he was throwing this party when only selected people knew if the quantonium? Well the party isn't going to live TV si I can chill a little.

"Would you like to dance?" Max asked me.

" Sure." U replied.

I slide to one corner of the dance floor since many were already here. As if on cue, secret love song started playing.

Max led me through the dance, guiding me through the dance floor, while I couldn't help but stare at him.

" Would you like to prove a theory?" He asked

I smiled. " Ni need to ask."

I loved this game.

He slowly lifted my chin, and with that crashing his lips gentle in mine. I swear I wasn't standing anymore as I kissed him back. He held me so close.

" My theory was right." He said..

" Huh?"

" I'd never be ashamed to kiss you on the dance floor. Why? Cus you're mine." He said.

Now I definitely wasn't standing.

----------------------

I didn't realize how late it has become. I told my folks that I'd be going. Mum asked if I'd like to change but I declined, carrying the paper bag. I said goodbye to Gregory and some of the guests. Gregory insisted max take me back.' you didn't have to ask.' I thought.

The ride Back from the party was quite, none if us knowing what to say. Once we reached my dorm room, expected max to leave but he invited himself in. I didn't refuse cus we to talk. Talk about a lot.
