Destined For Greatness

Seventeen

Hello readers, thank you so much for those viewing and those adding to their Libraries.

I just realized that i used Eric to begin the story but as i was proceeding, i used Evan. I just want to clear it out that Eric and Evan are the same people. When I'm through with the story or in my spare time, I'll change the names. I'm really sorry if you were confused though.

***Back to the story***

Evan's P.o.v

Evan was restless. He couldn't tell how he was feeling. It's like a mixed feeling; He's happy, sad, angry, jealous, confused all at once. Michael was battling through his own emotions and feelings as well.

"I know I'm not suppose to be angry but i am. Where is he? i have a lot of questions to ask him". Michael said.

"Just calm down". I told him in order to calm him down.

Michael brought out his phone which he used to pass time. He was scrolling through his phone when his mood changed. "This is unbelievable". He said.

"What's that?". I asked. I walked to meet him and sat with him while he showed me a video on his phone. It was a video of Alex and Charlotte. He pressed the play button as the music began to sing.

"This is unbelievable. I had no idea she could sing". Michael said.

Me neither. I thought as i focused on the video and I saw the way Alex looked at her and how they both looked at each other. The jealousy just rose to 101%.

"If her being around Alex makes her this way. I would definitely back out and let him have her". He said as i glared at him.

Michael looked up at me to meet me glaring at him. "What?". He asked as i stood up. Just about then, the door opened as Alex walked in.

Alex was staring at us as we were staring at him. "What's with all this facial expression?". He asked grabbing a chilled bottle water from the fridge.

Michael decided to ruin the moment by playing the video making Alex to choke on his drink. "How did you...". He didn't finish his words considering he knew the kind of world he lives in.

"How did you do it?". Michael asked. I was shocked to see he wasn't annoyed anymore.

"You're making it seem like i used a spell on her". He came to watch the video with Michael. "She's beautiful and her voice was damn amazing. I was stunned when she came up to join me and the moment she sang...i was overwhelmed and that's when it hits me that what you said...". He said as he looked at me. "...was right. She has a great destiny. With a voice like hers, she can help people and her voice would get to heaven and God will just give those people under the sound of her voice their heart desires".

"What do you feel for her?". I closed my eyes after realising how stupid the question is.

Alex looked at me. "I don't want to answer that". He looked at the kitchen. "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving".

"Where's she?".

"Um...I walked her home". Alex could tell i was jealous so he came closer, put his arm around my shoulder. "I know you love her...i won't take her from you". He told him.

"Can you promise me that?". Evan said. "No matter what happens, you won't fall in love with her".

Alex laughed. "Fine, i promise. It's not going to be that easy to win my heart you know". He went to join Michael in the kitchen to assist him in preparing pasta.

Charlotte's p.o.v

"Who was that?". Miranda asked sipping her alcohol.

"I thought you'd stop drinking already". i collected the alcohol from her pouring everything in the zinc.

"Are you going to tell me who he is or do I have to find that out myself?".

"He is a friend....although we haven't finalized on that yet". I told her.

"Really? This is the first time I'm seeing you genuinely happy".

"I've had happy times". She looked at me with her arms folded across her chest.

"Like?".

"Um....". I tried to think of a moment when i was genuinely happy.

"Um...". She mimicked me.

"When i was with you and Tessy....i was happy".

Miranda nodded because she knew we were all happy. "So why did you drop him off here? why not at your house?".

"Well, I'm doing it for you". I lied. I didn't want him to know my house or anything about my mom or family. I wasn't ready to go back to the past.

"Really?". She asked in doubts.

I pulled closer and hugged her. "yes. You know, if he comes here...he will get to see you and he will fall in love with you and who knows, you might love him back in return".

Miranda laughed. "This is not a TV show Chelsea...in case you don't know".

"Well, never say never". I pulled away as i went to the kitchen. "What do you have? I'm starving".

"Didn't he get you something to eat?". She asked as i glared at her. "What? you know I was expecting you to bring goodies...i mean you came back with a hot guy like that and nothing? you should be more like me".

"Miranda, please I'm starving". I pouted.

"Fine. There's sweet potatoes in the fridge". She told me as i rushed to peck her cheeks.

"Thanks love....You're a darling". I told her as i went to the fridge and brought out the sweet potatoes.

"Don't tell me you're going to eat that cold like that?". She asked when she saw me taking fork and ready to lavish the food.

"Fine, i won't tell you". I digged into the food as i ate to my heart content. Miranda was sitting in front of me watching me with admiration.

"Don't try this at home". She said as she shook her head when she saw that i was through eating the food.
