Shopping was really fun.We bought  dresses that could last us for a month. After putting our bags in Maria's car, we left and headed for  the nearest restaurant that we could get . Since we were not used to the place, we had a hard time finding any . It felt good when a restaurant came in sight. I could swear I heard my stomach grumble but I decided to be patient.

The car came to a halt when we got in front of a restaurant. I alighted from the car and experienced one embarrassing moment of my life. My stomach disagreed to be patient so it growled louder than before and caught the attention of passer-bys. From the look on their face, you could tell they wanted to know where the sound came from. Good thing they didn't know. I turned my head only to see a smiling Ezekiel. Omg!!!, without thinking I bolted for Maria's car and sat down....

Why did I ran in the first place. That was so crazy. It's not as if I like him, or do I?????

I walked out of the car to where Zeke, Daphne and Maria were, to meet them laughing hard. I turned to go away feeling a little embarrassed when a kid crossed me and I lost my balance, getting ready for the worst embarassing moment ever till I felt muscular arms around my waist.

I opened my eyes expecting to see Zeke's mesmerizing eyes. But to no!. And to my surprise, I saw a different pair of eye. Familiarity set in,then it hit me, the guy whose arms I was a famous tiktoker and an instagram influencer..... He had the highest number of followers because of his girl fans. Dadson Thompson...... Came across his video on my fyp. I was so not  surprised when I heard he was a playboy. Tsk tsk tsk..... Just as he brought me to my feet, my stomach growled louder. Couldn't this day get any better???.. I mumbled a thank you and walked faster to the restaurant to catch up with my friends.

James POV.
"Wait, we are not done with the photoshoots", Joel, my manager and best friend bellowed.
"Well we agreed to spend two hours and it's up. I'm out of here".. I replied without looking at him...

I wanted to get something to eat because Joel had been on my case since morning... He forced me out of bed so we could finish the photoshoot and meet the deadline.

As I  got down from the car, I saw my ex,  Trisha, with her little cousin. She left her cousin  and made an attempt to talk to me, a very wrong move but I ignored her. I didn't want anything to do with her.
As I walked past her, her cousin had already began to wander off and crossed the path of a young lady.  The lady  lost her balance and almost fell. I usually didn't give a fuck about others but my instinct kicked in and I caught her in my arms.

Wow....
Was the only word on my mind. She looked so simple but very beautiful.... With the sun rays falling on her eyes, her eyes shined beautifully. She had the prettiest brown eyes.... My heart skipped a beat... That was nice. The way she lined her lips complimented it perfectly.... I knew ladies very well that I could tell the kind of lingerie she had before sex.:-) :-)

I wanted to stay that way till I figured what was so fascinating about her but that wasn't possible. I brought her to her feet after she cleared her throat. I was deep in thought wondering who she was because I knew one thing, that was, I liked her.

Coming out of my thought, I saw her walk away and I hoped to see her again.

Esme's POV
*****
"No talking about what happened", I said after I took my seat.

Daphne and Maria who had already taken their seats continued to laugh.. I noticed Zeke  was not with them so I inquired.

" Errh, where's Zeke?".

"Well, he left after you encounter with Dadson. He did look kind of jealous", Maria said.

"I see".

"Oooooh",they teased.

Well, it's better to keep quiet than to talk. My complaining would only encourage them to continue pulling my legs.

"There's nothing surprising or fascinating about this town.", I said faking a cry.

"Chill, girl....... We haven't been here for long.",Daphne said.

The  place looked familiar. Everything about this fucking town seems so familiar. Like I had lived here before.

We stood up to leave after we were done eating....

"Excuse me, I own this restaurant.. I'm Samantha Graig."

After exchanging some pleasantries, she beckoned for me to come closer. Assuring my friends I would be alright, I walked towards Samantha.

"Sorry if  I am being nosey but I would like to ask a question ", she begins.

I nod my head to allow her ask her question.

"Are you related to  John Osteen and Michelle Osteen??"...

"Yes, they're my parents."

I didn't know why but my heart started to beat. I could feel I was about to hear something I didn't want to.

"I knew it. You're like the  clone of your mum.... How is your little sister???".

Yes, I am the clone of my mum... Everyone says that, wait what, how's my little sister???,. That's when her voice and question started ringing in my head and I felt a sharp pain in my chest. Clutching my dress with my left hand, I held onto a chair with my right hand for support as I felt very dizzy. I could barely hear or see anything. The world moved too fast. As my hand left the chair, I felt a familiar set of arms around me but before I could tell who it was, my eyelids got heavy and everything went black.....
