GOLDIE'S POV
I smiled as the lovely scent of New York city greeted my nostrils Immediately I stepped out of the terminal with my escorts just as the black sedan escort cars pulled up in front of me. A guard opened the car door and I graciously stepped in not minding the paparazzi and the media guys scattered around, my escorts did well what they were being paid to do and soon the ride began.
I've been gone for a month plus for a music concert in Spain and I was just returning back to America today.
Well well, my name is Goldie Elvira Davis and I'm a very popular pop singer. Also, I'm the ex-girlfriend of Daniel Roberts_well the only girl he ever dated which is a thing of pride but, not many know that.
Presently, I'm dating Xavier Orville, second son of the president of the USA, it escalated my fame just as I wanted but the only problem is that even though Xavier loves me, he still cheats. I probably deserve that for how I wickedly broke Dan's heart eight months ago. I even told him I never really loved him. Too bad, cause I did....
Well the point is I also dated him for fame and after that day I never called him again, neither did I texted. I didn't even apologize... The last time I checked about him, I heard he was still single and miserable but was now schooling at Royal Empire University in Sacramento. That was two months ago though.
I removed my dark shades and busied myself with my phone, as if on impulse it rang. It was my friend Samantha.
"Hey Sam," I said, immediately I picked up.
"Elvira what's up? How was your flight?" She asked. Well she's the only one who remembers to call me by that name.
"It was splendid dear,"
"I'm guessing you haven't heard yet, since you just got back so I'll tell you." She said.
"What could that be?"
"Well your ex-boyfriend Daniel Roberts is madly in love with a new girl and it's been rumoured that she's his first love. They just started dating like two, three weeks ago." She announced and My, I was shocked by one statement she made.
"How can she be his first love? As far as I can remember I was the first and only girl Daniel ever dated so what's with the bloody rumour? Who's she?" I asked jealously. If she's Dan's first love then what am I?
"Diva Scott is her name, she's the leader of the DSD dancers. Remember that dance group right?"
"Are you kidding me?! Her?!" I yelled whispered. I know her, she's a very popular personnel and her parents just as Dan's are super wealthy. Most of all she's better than me in every aspect, she's like a black beauty goddess. How can his new girl be prettier than I am?
"Well if you think I'm kidding, you can visit Dan's Instagram and Twitter accounts, you'll see for yourself."
"Okay I'll check it out now, thanks for the info."
"Anytime girl," she hung up and I quickly switched on my data and opened my IG account. I searched out his name because I stopped following him after our breakup, I scrolled down and I was shocked by the posts and photos of them he uploaded.
EVERYONE MEET DANIEL'S HEARTCODE, MY BEAUTIFUL QUEEN, MY FIRST AND ONLY TRUE LOVE...
What!! I was stunned. I know I'm not supposed to be concerned but how can I not be, when he's referring to her as his first love and all? Even when we were dating, he never called me his first love but I was his first girlfriend so what's this? Dan really loved me then, he treated me perfectly and never cheated or treated me bad like Xavier is, but I broke his heart. And the way Dan's looking so happy and staring into the eyes of this girl, I know I was past tense in his life already....
I sighed sadly, tapped the screen off, reclined my head on the headrest and closed my eyes.
I lost him because I was chasing after stones that looked like diamonds. Don't get me wrong, I love Xavier but I don't think I'll ever be as happy as I used to be when with Daniel.
My ringing phone made me open my eyes and stare at it. My mom was calling after many years, did she finally forgive me for leaving the house as a teenager for greener pastures? I sighed and picked up.
"Am I finally forgiven?" I said immediately it connected.
"Your brother has been admitted for over three weeks now here in Sacramento. Do well to check on the family you abandoned once in a while. I just decided to let you know, you can come see him if you really care."
"What? And no one bothered to tell me because of some unnecessary..."
"I just told you now, aren't you supposed to check on your family too? All you care about is that career of yours and getting much more famous that you never thought about your family. After much thought, I decided to let you know, you're still my daughter after all even though you left." She said cutting me off.
"Mom I'm so..." She hung up.
I let out a heavy sigh, laying my head back on the headrest.
"Are you okay ma'am?" My manager asked beside me.
"Prepare a flight to Sacramento tomorrow, I need to see my brother." I replied closing my eyes again.
But wasn't John studying in Canada? When did he return to America? How did he end up in Sacramento?
Arrgh girl! You've done pretty bad....
I'll definitely see that I meet Dan and his new girl during my visit back home....
DIVA'S POV
"You sneaky little fellow, we chatted last week and you didn't tell me you were visiting until today when you've already arrived. When did you become so tricky?" I said kicking his leg from under the table.
"Oops! Sorry DD, it's a surprise visit you know. Besides, I didn't trust you'll keep it a secret the girls might find out especially her, and that'll ruin my surprise." He said with a playful smile.
"Aigoo,(oh my,) look at you. So you finally decided it's time to come see her. I thought you'll never do that, both of you are so stubborn you know." I said staring at him as he took a sip from his coffee cup.
He's been in love with Tania since from highschool and because the idiot taught she disliked him, he never confessed his feelings instead he decided to prank her endlessly.
"I had to before I completely lose my senses. DD you know how I've always love her, all my relationships never worked most of it being my fault. I couldn't love them so much, the teenage love I had for Rosy waxed stronger to my amazement even though we were continents apart. Do you think she'll be able to accept me now? Won't she yell at me and chase me away because of all those pranks I made on her? She's still single right? I know she's had relationships problems too but won't she..." I kicked his leg again.
"Ouch! DeeDee!!!" He whined, I chuckled. I like that nickname he gave to me since we were little.
"You need to relax. Rosy likes you too didn't I tell you that? Even though she's too stubborn to admit it, she does. You just have to first of all apologise for your childish pranks of those years and she'll forgive you."
"She would?" I paused and stared at him for a while, with my elbows on the table and my hands cupping my cheeks. "Why?" He asked on noticing I was looking at him.
"You've become much more handsome Carl. The last time I saw you physically I don't think you were this cute. Are you sure Nia's gonna recognize you?"
"Was that supposed to be a compliment?"
"Oh shoot! Of course, it was a compliment dude," I laughed "She's gonna drool so badly, just wait and see." I added in a little whisper. Carl ran a hand through his caramel hair, a wide grin playing on his lips as he looked down shyly.
"Wait!" I said in a teasing tone. "Are you blushing right now? Seriously Carl, what would you do when she comments on your looks then?" I asked jokingly.
"I think I'll faint for joy." He whispered and I laughed. I've missed him so much, my male best friend. "But seriously am I looking as good as you said?" He said picking up his phone and using the screen as a mirror. I watched him in amusement.
"Carl, stop acting like a sissy." I chuckled. "Anyway, will you start schooling here with us or you are gonna return soon?" I asked.
"I'll definitely return. I'll be here for few weeks before I head back, I just want to win my woman and that's the main reason I'm here. I'll return to America soon but that'll be after my studies, I just have one more year before I'll be through. Mom wants me to complete my education in South Korea that's why but I'll return surely." He explained.
"Okay. There's someone I need you to meet, he'll be here very soon." I said smilingly.
"He?" He asked and I chuckled.
"Have you forgotten all I told you last week? I'm in a relationship now dude."
"Oh yeah that's true. Congratulations DD you ain't single anymore. Can't wait to meet him, is he someone I know?" Carl asked curiously and I smiled.
"Relax, you'll see."
DANIEL'S POV
I nervously walked into the restaurant Diva told me to meet her and looked around for her. She had sent me a text earlier asking me come to this restaurant in town, that she wanted to introduce me to someone.
My eyes scanned around and soon I located her sitting and laughing with a very good looking guy, I was slightly jealous. But I immediately reminded myself, she is Diva not Goldie or some heartbreaker. Besides she won't ask me to come if she was meeting him secretly.
I smiled and walked over to them.
"Sweety?" I called and they both turned on seeing me. The guy whose face seems quite familiar stood up Immediately he saw me.
"Jordan?" He said in recognition and I raised an eyebrow in confusion. That name's not very common with me, those who knew it must be really close enough or so...
"Common dude, it's me Carl from Lionel's high that year." He explained walking to me with a smile. That was when I recognized him, the defense player from the home school who scored the last goal against my school that year.
Geez... He's all grown up.
And so are you...my subconscious chipped.
"Wow! I remember now, it's been years bro." I laughed as we hugged. For a moment I forgot Diva was there.
"You guys know each other, that's great but Carl how? And did you just call him Jordan? Dan is that your name too?" She asked looking so shocked and puzzled that's when I immediately understood.
She must have remembered the beach incidence from fourteen years ago. But she didn't know that was me??
"DD don't you remember the middle field player from Rockstars High School eight years ago? The one that scored the first goal against our school that year? You probably don't remember because you were seriously cheering for your home players you didn't notice. That player's Jordan here, he wasn't really known as Dan then, I even met his friend Jay at the mall yesterday." Carl tried to explain to the best of his ability. Maybe she never told him about the beach incident.
"So I've been with the Jordan I was looking for all this while without realizing. Ha! That's pretty absurd. Dan why didn't you tell me?" She said calmly as she glared at me.
"I never knew you remembered the incident already, I thought you were yet to remember a thing and I didn't what to force you into remembering. I'm sorry..." I tried explaining.
"Shit! but how? Why didn't I recognize you?"
"Uhm I'm not sure what's going on here but DD I have to go find her now. I'll see you later," He said as he walked away, what's with that nickname? "Dude it was nice meeting you again, you turned out great." He tapped my shoulders before walking past me. I stared at Diva she still look confused.
"If you'll come with me now, I promise to explain it all to you." I said.
"You better do." She said and stood up.

"Geez! Dan, why did you do that? What if you had died?" She yelled whispered as tears ran down her cheeks. I had just finished telling her about everything that happened from the time I first saw her at the beach, to the second time six years later at the sport game, and then the accident I had on my way to Los Angeles to see her.
I smiled and wiped her tears, which doesn't seem to stop. I noticed Diva's so emotional...
"I didn't and I'm right here with you now, that's why I made that promise never to let anyone come between us." I stroke her hair gently.
"Thanks so much Dan, this photos are so lovely. Was this how I looked on that first day?" She asked with a teary smile. I chuckled.
"Yeah, that's how you looked. The enchantress that kidnapped my heart right from my childhood. I love you so much my beautiful." I smiled and kissed her forehead.
We were leaning on my car, at the side of a quiet bridge. While the teasing wind caressed our bodies gently. Thankfully I had kept the three photos in my car planning to show them to her today to help her remember, when her text message came in. Everything just worked out well and I'm thankful for that.
"So after the accident, you had memory loss for a few months and when you recovered you remembered everything else except me right?"
"Yeah,"
"I'm so sorry sweetie. That's what made you to date Goldie three years later as you told me, because you didn't remember me but deep down you know she wasn't your first love and then this third photo explains the day you met me again along that hallway. You drew this because you couldn't help but noticed something familiar but it took you a while to remember it." She said looking at me.
"Exactly." I smiled at her.
"Thanks so much JD love, I'll call you that from now on." I smiled as she hugged me happily.
"I love the sound of that,"
She laughed and we stayed in that position for a while before she pulled back.
"I understand everything now, all you've been saying to me since we started dating, I understand it all now. But I'm still confused about why I didn't recognize you Immediately I remembered the incident. I suspected it was you but I kept telling myself otherwise. The kid in my memory has a curly black hair and yours isn't. And I don't think the kid looked like you. Why's that? Or did your facial view changed as you grew older?" She asked in such a cute unintentional manner.
"The only difference then was my hair, it used to be so curly but it straightened as I grew older. Think again sweetheart." I said holding the sides of her head gently. She closed her eyes smilingly and after a while she opened them and her beautiful eyes glinted adorably.
"I remember now, it was really you and the kid that came to call you was Jay. Right?" She asked happily.
"Yup, that was Jay. He's the one that helped me remember you. He kept those two photos with him because I couldn't recall even drawing them. He kept them hoping I would remember and when I met you and began having blurry flashbacks, he showed them to me and I remembered everything." I said while she stared into my eyes adorably.
"He did?" She asked. I nodded smilingly.
"I love you JD," she said and without a warning, she latched her lips on mine. My eyes widened but I was quick to reciprocate. We kissed deeply for a while, before we broke it.
"That was my first kiss." She said smilingly and I smiled.
"You're such a good kisser, are you sure about that?" I said teasingly and she hitted my arm playfully.
"Of course silly, what did you think?" I laughed and we locked lips again, this time much more passionate and so love filled. It was perfect and yet so promising...
TANIA'S POV
I sighed as I walked out of the practical clinic, I feel so empty and so love sick. I need my own prince charming...
I raised up my headphone and placed it over my ears, allowing myself to drawn in the music. I can't help but want to experience the kind of love Lia and Elle now have, each time I see it, I just think and wonder about the possibility of ever finding my own prince charming.
I stiffened when I noticed someone touched my headset and removed it. I turned around sharply but I was stunned and dumbfounded by the gorgeous looking man before me. He had caramel hair, beautiful Jade like eyes, slightly red lips, perfect structured cheekbones and he had a thin line of beard, just the way I like my guy to look. He was slightly taller than me and also masculine. All this features, I needed no one to tell me who it was.
"Hi Rosy," He said and I don't know what happened but I found myself hugging him tightly as words I never thought of found their ways our of my mouth.
"You idiot, why did it take you forever to come for me? Do you really think I hate you? I've always liked you but when you started that prank on me back in highschool it annoyed me but I never stopped liking you. Even after so many years, I couldn't. I was just pissed off that you never came back to apologise. You just left like that, I hate you but I also love you so much, that's a secret don't tell him.."
"I love you too Rosy and I'm sorry for all I did in the past, I really love you then but you weren't even looking at me so I decided to prank you just to get your attention. I'm sorry I took so long to come back, please forgive me." He said cutting me off and that was when I realized all I had just said.
I'm going crazy, right?
That's supposed to be in my mind, how did I end up spilling em out? Geez Rosalie!!!
I released him quickly and disengaged from the hug.
"Forget all I just said. That wasn't meant for you Carl, go away." I said pretending to want to walk away when in my heart I just wanted to hug him tight once more. And just as I expected, he ran after me and to my amazement, he knelt on the floor before me and grasp my hands.
"Rosy I know I hurt you but please I'm so sorry, please give me a chance and I promise I'll never hurt you again. Forgive me please..." He begged, I rolled my eyes away but within me I was grinning and jubilating joyfully.
"Say yes! Say yes!! Say yes!!!" I looked ahead to see a crowd of students chanting happily for me.
I looked down at Carl.
Hmm, should I just say yes like that?? Maybe I should torture him a little. I smirked loving the idea.
"Stand up Carl, I've forgiven you." I said smirkingly.
"Really!" He shrieked and hugged me tight as the students cheered again.
"Yes but you'll do whatever I say for a week." I whispered into his ears.
"Sure I will, anything for you sweetheart." He said confidently.
Are you sure about that darling??
Well, well. I'll make sure of it. Get ready handsome......
