Out Of Place
1003 Words
Rucci stood outside his private area on the second floor, Where he could see the whole island. His eyes were especially glued to Nyla, who look like a piece of puzzle he has to solve.
He watched as Diane tried to lighten up her mood and how she kept forcing a smile that didn’t last long.
“Why is she trying to please Diane?” He thought silently.
He saw everyone turned their attention to something, when he saw what it was, his face hardened abd he walked back in.
The employee on the island wearing their black and white stood on either side welcoming the bride and her guests. Nyla stood aside trying to stay invincible because it was a family matter.
Nyla couldn’t help but notice Rucci was nowhere to be seen, it was his bride who was joining them as a hotlist and her groom, he should have been here to welcome her, but she looked at the bride and saw that she wasn’t even bothered as she greeted everyone with a big smile on her face.
“Am glad you came early Nancy” Diane greeted in her exicted tone abd they both hugged each other. Nyla noticed a man among the bride guest that looks a lot like Sophie and she decided it was his brother.
She looked at the people accompanying them and their expensive clothes and suddenly she felt out of place in the midst of rich people on this island.
Sophie is tall with model look like and slim body, she has the perfect body shape every lady will be proud of, Her wavy blond hair was style to perfection, unlike hers in a messy bun. Sophie look more mature and put together unlike hers in a that just wear whatever with putting in effort. Nyla waved it away as she looked at herself, she was still beautiful in her own way.
Nyla felt a pang of guilt when she remembered she had slept with her groom to be.
“Nyla come over” Diane called her over where she was talking to the bride to be returning her to the present.
Diane made introductions as she wrapped her hand around Nyla’s neck in a gesture to calm her nerves.
Sophie extended her plan and offered a handshake to Nyla.
“Hello Nyla” Nyla shook hands with Sophie as her guilt intensified.
Before Nyla could withdraw her hands away from Sophie, her hand was clasped by a male hand which is bigger and warmer than Sophie’s hand.
“Hello missy, Am Damien,Sophie is my rider sister, You are so beautiful Nyla, mind joining me for a tour around the island later ?” Damien was openly flirting with Nyla who looked surprise.
Nyla was about to refuse him when a soft chuckle came from her side and Diane quick reply followed.
“She will be glad to Damien, and I consent to it ,she will be here for a week and will probably be bored, it’s a good thing you decided to help. Right Nyla?”
Although Damien was harmless, but Nyla could perceive him being a flirt and a playboy but she wanted something, anything that could make her atleast forget about last night and the intense guilt she was feeling right now.
“Good, Why don’t we talk a walk around the island right now” Damien suggested as he pulled Nyla away from the others.
Diane and Sophie were watching Damien and Nyla walking away. Anyone could see Nyla was not interested. And Daine wondered why she agreed to it.
“Sophie, is there a way to help someone that keep bottling up their emotion to be vulnerable with you ?, Am worried about Nyla, ever since she lost her mother she doesn’t open up to anyone anymore,barely show her anger or express herself.at first i thought it was a one time thing so I brushed it off but now is becoming her habit, She lost her family already am worried I don’t want to lose her too”
“I noticed as well,But we need to give her time to adjust, she is probably afraid of losing anyone else because she is still in shock of her family death”
“What should we do now ?” Daine asked worriedly.
Sophie Sighed, Her case is not as simple as we see but let’s give her time while letting her know we are always here for her.
“She is taking her time and am worried, I just pray she open up on this trip or else I did have to interfere, I don’t want to lose my friend”. Daine sighed as she stared at where Nyla was.

Rucci was busy with work to bother about tribal matters. But that didn’t stop him from noticing his surrounding.
He had just looked up to view nature before continuing his work. When he heard Damien calling Nyla,it spiked his intrest when he saw them both.
His face hardened as he noticed who the person was, he clenched his fist so hard as he watched her hands in hands with another man.
He is not the type who would waste time on people abd their affairs, but for some reasons he couldn’t help himself abandoning his work and walking out of his private deck.
When he noticed Sophie’s brother trying to teach her something m, his blood started boiling with anger.
Damien was standing behind Nyla holding her hands back trying to teach her how to throw the stone.
She seems interested in trying to learn whatever Damien was trying to teach but Rucci knew people can be deceiving.
“Damien” He spoke before he could dyoo himself. He slept with so many women before but no one has affected him the way his sister best friend is affecting him, abd she was younger than him. But still he couldn’t ignore her not even when someone was touching her.
