Chapter 3
LEENA'S POV
"What do you mean by you don't know your way home?" Rick asked.
I'm now used to calling him Rick because he certainly isn't Maxxy,no matter how strickening the resemblance is.
"I'm serious. Ok,just take me home. Do me this one favor and I won't trouble you again",I said
"Are you okay Ariana?,like I should take you home?. Don't you know your way home?"
"Look,you have to believe me,I'm not Ariana,I'm really not Ariana"
"Then who are you?a dog?,cow?,goat?",he asked smirking.
"Yes I'm a dog,cow and goat",I replied and walked closer to him taking his hands.
"Please,I'm lost here. Just take me home. I want to see my Dad"
I could see in his eyes that he softened at my touch. After awhile he agreed to and we both walked 'home'.
When we got there,a man was sitting at the veranda. Not just any man,but my Dad. It's certainly my dad,I ran.
I ran to him hugging him so tightly, I was crying."I missed you....i missed you.........I...missed you Dad!
I'm so sorry for not being with you that night,I'll never leave you. I'll not go anywhere I'll be with you Dad. I love you Dad",I cried.No matter where I am,no matter the world I find myself,as long as my Dad is here,I'll stay.
He was dead!,10 years ago,I missed him so much as a child. I wished it was mom who had died instead.
But here is my Dad,alive and worried about me.I'll stay.....I'll stay with my Dad...RICK'S POVI stared at Ariana hugging her Dad. This is strange,this isn't Ariana. The Ariana that I know would pull out a cigarette,sit down beside the old man and say,
"Why get worried about me?,I'm 20 now,I can take care of myself"
She never said I love you to anyone,the bright kid who was once my friend changed after her mom died.
Yes,I was a stubborn and un rueful boy at the age of 15,and I had disturbed everyone in the neighborhood,but how could kill her mom?How could I have done that?She had carried hatred in her heart for long,she never loved anyone.
But this lady here is hugging and crying?
And even saying I love you?. This is so strange She really isn't Ariana Williams.ARIANA'S POV
I woke up to the warmth of a soft strong bed.
"Da....d,d...ad..",i said repeatedly tossing around.
I sat up gently and looked around,this room look strange to me.
This isn't my room,then I remembered I was lost in some world where they believe I'm Leena and that bastard Rick calls himself Maxxy.I stood up gently and looked around. A picture hanging on the wall caught my attention. It was certainly me on that large wallpaper,but trust me I never took those pictures,never!
This lady,Leena...She was holding a guitar,she's really a rock star,or was it popstar they called her??I looked around and more of her pictures hung on the wall,I'm calling it her pictures because I'm certainly not the one.
I kept looking around till another picture caught my attention.It was me....no Leena and Rick. She was....she was naked on the pics.
I winced in shock,Rick or whatever he said he is was even holding her bare breasts and her hands were covering her V area. God forbid!I can never take such pictures,nudes?....and not with that murderer!!I quickly moved to the door and tried opening it but it was locked,I tried again but it opened by itself and standing there was my worst enemy,Rick Marculay.
I glared at him."You're awake",he said softly.
"Who are you?!,because I'm sure I never took that picture with you!",I yelled pointing at the naked picture on the wall.
" I'm Maxxy Empire,your boyfriend ",he said gently.
"Listen Maxxy or whoever you are,I'm not your girlfriend who takes nude pictures with you. I'm Ariana Williams,a country girl with humor."
He laughed a soft soft laughter,slid his hands into his pocket and looked at me with seriousness in his eyes.
"I'll give you a brief history about yourself. Your name is Leena Rashford,not some crazy Ariana Williams. You're a city girl,a super star,and rocking heights in your musical career. Your dad's dead Leena and you have this crazy idea that your mom killed him. I'm Maxxy your boyfriend not some Rick who you've branded an Enemy!
And Leena,your biggest music concert is coming up in a week time,stop this drama ,please stop"I stared at him,he was being sincerely,but he's confusing me
"I'll tell you the truth,like a brief history about myself",I said willing to convince him.
"Go on",he urged.
"My name is Ariana Williams not some random Leena Rashford. I'm no city girl,I'm a country girl from Zino village. My dad's alive and kicking,and my mom?,she's long dead.10 yrs ago,and Rick killed her!
You talked about music,I'm no super star!,I never held a guitar before,not even for once,I've never stood before crowds,and you're not my boyfriend,you're my worst nightmare. You want prove that I'm no musician?,I asked.He nodded still looking at me strangely.
I took a deep breath and gave out a disorganized yell of...
"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
I burst into laughter knowing fully well that my voice was so terrific and horrible.
Chapter 4 LEENA'S POVI sat over the fire with Dad.My Dad,I've so missed him that it makes my heart ache right now."Do you want bacon Dad?" ,I asked and he looked up from the paper he was holding."Bacon?,since when did you know how to make Bacon?"he asked looking at me strangely."I....i....emm...emmm...Rick taught me",I lied,a very stupid lie but don't blame me,Rick's the only name I know here."Rick?,and since when did you become friends with him?""Dad....we're not friends,but I mean,I'm just em.....uhmm..",i shuttered not knowing what to say."Are you alright Ariana?",he asked softly.I smiled,a little tear flickee from my eye,I've missed this fatherly voice. I've missed my Dad carrying me fondly,I miss having a parent.Dont even talk about my mom,she's worst,really worst."I'm fine daddy.....
Chapter 5 LEENA'S POVI went in search of Rick. I needed to talk to him so Dad won't know I'm not really Ariana.I turned to an old woman passing by"Mam,do you know where I can find Rick?",I asked.She looked strangely at me for something and laughed."Wanna blow his intestines out?,I wouldn't tell you so the cops won't hold me down" she said walking out..I looked at her in confusion. What does she mean by "...blow his Intestines out"?I waved it off and kept looking buh no one wanted to tell me. According to them,I and Rick always loved to cause trouble even for them..I stopped at a Road side ice cream shop,the man standing there looks familiar but I waved it away, I'm sure I don't know anyone here."Sir, I'm... actually..I'm.. looking for Rick",I said stuttering."Wanna make his nose bleed?",he teased.I smiled nervousl
Chapter 6 LEENA'S POVAfter a few lectures from Rick,he told me that Ariana teaches Taekwondo. I was seriously taken aback."How can a girl fight kung fu?",I asked alarmed."Girls around here are good in kung fu""That's strange,it's not feminine to fight"."Don't girls learn kung fu in your world",he asked Mockingly,he obviously stressed the world in his statement."We don't,we act gentle and noble. We're city girls of course. What we do is dress city latest fashion,that's makes us female".He started laughing. After a while he shook his head at me."You've gone crazy""I know",I replied,what's the use arguing with him?We soon got to the Taekwondo center,I looked around confused,I don't even know what Taekwondo means. I was hesitant at first but Rick urged me further."Ms.Ariana!!",one of t
Chapter 7 MAXXY'S POV I couldn't believe Leena was beating those guards up. The Leena that I know never fought, infact in Zino city,a girl who knows how to fight is considered a social abomination. After seeing how she skillfully beat up those guards,I was rest assured that this lady isn't Leena Rashford. "Who are you?", I asked again. We were both sitting down face to face and she was smoking as usual. "Ariana Williams", she replied puffing some smoke into the air. "You fight?" "Uhm, Superior A in taekwondo", she replied showing me her ID card. It read... Name: Ariana WilliamsAge: 20Origin: Zino villageRank: SUPERIOR A. Well, she's saying the truth, she's not Leena. "Smoking is injurious to the health", I said and she just looked at me. "Ariana, you have to stop smoking,it's
Chapter 8 ARIANA'S POV For the first time I thoroughly surveyed Ariana's room.It smelt of feminity with lovely touches.Everything looked potable but obviously expensive.I couldn't believe all those would be mine for the next seven days. My gaze went from the wallpapers to the bed,to the reading tables and finally I found myself staring at her large wardrobe. Gently I unlocked it and my breath went away. Her wardrobe was stuffed with rich beautiful dresses,but they looked too feminine for me.I preferred the rough looking dresses.I searched around for any pack of cigarettes but found non.I sighed as I remembered celebrities don't smoke.Crap!This Leena girl must be too soft hearted. I found a little box and opened it. Inside lay a picture of her smiling. I took the picture out and stared at it. Her hair was in shady
Chapter 9 LEENA'S POV Rick took the kids for today's training and I sat making a video of them. It was so funny watching the kids fight taekwondo and I admired them.The training was soon over and the kids dispersed but the little blonde girl remained.I looked inquisitively at her but she had her eyes glued to mine.Will I say I'm scared right now?, not really,but I wasn't comfortable with her looks."Who are you?",she asked with a frown."Huh?""You aren't Ms Ariana are you?",the kid asked.I was so shocked, how did she know?,did Rick tell her?"I....of course I am kid, why would you ask such a question?",I stuttered."No you aren't", she insisted."Ms Ariana never failed to call us little punks everyday, infact I feel like adding it to my surname and she has never been nice to us.", she said"I'm not nice to you",I ins
Chapter 10 MAXXY'S POV"Alright let's take this shot. Are you ready?",the photographer asked again.Ariana has been extremely uncomfortable since we began taking the pictures.I smiled and got closer to her holding her waist."Shift!",she whispered,the daggers in her eyes."Why Should I?",I asked enjoying the moment."Don't touch my waist. I'll really kill you",she swore.I lent towards her eyes and gave her a bit in the ear."Oh God.. Max!",she whispered desperately, this time she sounded breathless."You're so dead!""Who'd kill me?", I whisper back."I will"I laugh shortly and smiled."I'd like to see you try"We kept arguing till her mom obviously got fed up."What's this all about?,did you both fight??",she asked.We shook out head,no."Then stop whining Leena and concentrate. I
Chapter 11 ARIANA'S POVA knock came on the door,I opened it to see Maxxy standing there.The sight of him brought back yesterday's happening and I couldn't resist staring at his lips.Full,sensual and inviting."Just gonna stare at me the whole day?",his voice jolts me back to earth.I gave him an angry stare and he smiled."Won't you let me in Ariana?""What do you want?""Just want to talk",he replied."I don't want to talk",I said trying to slam the door.He held it back and I glared at him.He smiled and pushed the door open,then walked in."Can you just leave me alone?""I wish I could. Look Ariana if this is about yesterday...",he started but I cut him off."Yes it's about yesterday. You kissed me without permission Max!, and yes that's enough to make me mad at you!""Common Ariana,it wa
