PENELOPE'S POV
Holy s**t! I had been technically missing since two days ago. Today is on a Monday yet I was kidnapped on a Friday.
The numerous voice calls and notification kept flowing in making me more nervous.
The first one I had to check was from my mother
Mama
Sunday 1745
Penelope,I saw a f*******: post of a friend of yours that you had been missing.
I am very worried about you .My blood pressure is threatening if not,I would be in Moscow to search for you my self.
As soon as you get this message please call back.
I quickly dialled her number to tell her that I was very okay.
"Penelope,Thank God you are safe,"She jested with a sigh.
"Yes mama. I had just gone to a photo gallery without telling my friend and that is why she freaked out. I am okay now. You really have have nothing to worry about,"I have a lengthy explanation.
"If Moscow is not good for you, you can please come and study from home. Elle University is not that bad,"She insisted.
"That is not necessary mum. I am fine please don't worry. I really take good care of my self,"I countered.
"I will call you later Penny. The women from down the street book club have arrived,"She excused herself before she hang up
"Bye mum,I love you,"I always tell her this after we are done talking.

I quickly took cab to the hostels. I was really tired and I could feel a bad oduor coming from my body. Right now I needed to take a good shower before I take a good nap.
I didn't call my friends right away. I would call them later on.
Opening my f*******: account,it really downed to me that I needed to tell the world that I was okay.

It can't be that my crush is missing.
I quickly composed a post.
Thanks for your concern guys,I am safe thanks to Saviour
Penelope_Blue.
A lot of happy comments followed. First was Max who asked me out and Bella also requested that we meet later at Mums.
The moment I walked to my room, everyone sighed with relief. Aurora hugged me tightly at the same time crying and so did her sister, who was my best friend back in High School.
Henry and Nicky who were their boyfriends were also present and they were very glad that I was back home.
"Your boyfriend should be very worried,"Henry suggested.
"I don't have one,"I said sitting on my bed and taking a moment to breath.
Fay and Nicky, who knew that I was in love with Tony looked at me with those eyes that demanded for explanation and I had to tell them what really happened.
"Tony left with no trace,"I prattled as I lay in bed facing the ceiling to gather energy before I go to have a bath.
"Damn that's so bad,"Henry completely regretted asking the question now that I looked drained.
Actually, each time I think about Tony, I feel very hurt. He shouldn't have left me.
"Am used to it. Please dont feel sorry for asking the question. I judt wish I knew our relationship was going to sink. If so, I wouldn't have struggled for it back in High School,"I recalled and stated with an evil smirk playing on my lips.
"Talking of High School,Stance is a sister now at the Catholic Church,"Fay said smiling.
Stance was a bully back then and it was so wonderful hearing that she changed to make the world a better place.
"Hu-ho that's nice,"I chuckled
"Evans and Halima moved in together,"Nicky said,"I hope we do the same soon,"He told Fay and I wish you could see the look in his eyes when he looked at her lover Fay.
All this people were high school sweethearts and their relationship seemed to flourish. Then there was me. Tony practically dumped me without thinking twice.
"Its such a shame that Tony and I were never meant to be,"I forced a smile.
"What of Max,Uh-Uh,"Aurora tattled cheerfully.
"He is with Bella now."I announced.
"I was only his friend, nothing more,"
"Now that you are not talking about it yet you were missing for two days, I have to ask. What exatly happened to you?"Aurora implored with worry written all over her face.
"I was gagged and taken to some basement but I was saved by Saviour,"I remembered the kids and that made me smile.
I had not given him my number. All I wished for right now is for us to meet once again. I want him.
"Who is Saviour?"Fay arched her eyebrows up in confusion.
"A man with a golden heart,"I kept on smiling sheepishly.
"By the way Aurora,you did not tell me Fay is your sister till today!"I scolded her.
"We are half sister's. We share the same mother. We are not that close for I live at a different place with my grandmother and Fay lives with our auntie,"Aurora looked at her sister and they hold each others hand tightly.
The boyfriends kiss them in their cheeks affectionately reminding me that I have to find myself a boyfriend.
"Am here please, do notFrench kiss,"I said playfully but I was serious. If they French kiss, they will remind me of Saviour and my body right now craved for him.
"Forgive us,"Aurora giggled as Henry countries kissing her on her neck.
He couldn't control his feelings for her. That is what I wanted too. I wanted someone to love me with that intensity and spark.

Later in the evening...
"What happened between you and Max?"I asked Bella after we were served mango cocktails by the waitress.
"We kissed,and made love in the car,"She said biting her lips seductively forgetting that I was not Max she was talking to.
"Finally,"I said fidgeting. I mean, what else could I say.
"I love him and I hope the feeling is mutual,"She adds thoughtfully.
"Me too."I agreed and stared in space.
"I know that look,did you meet that someone?"Bella asked and I was quite dazed by the way she knew things.
"Which guy?"I pretended.
"You know what I am talking about Penelope, come on,"She sternly stated and I figured that I didn't have to lie to my best friend.
"Kind of. I met this Saviour guy,"I remembered.
"Tell me about it,"She demanded.
"We kissed,"
My phone blinked interrupting our conversation.
It was a text from Fay.
Fay,
I think that I have seen Tony.
