Chapter 8 (Apple Knox)

"Sit here with us, Aunty," said Apple, allowing Rexa to sit down.

"No, Honey. Aunty's gonna sit there with Walter's parents. Enjoy your night, bye," said Rexa smiling and kissing Rexa's cheek again.

Rexa looked towards Knox.

"Knox, mommy goes first" said Rexa.

"Yes, Mom. I'll come to Mommy there later" Knox said.

Then Rexa and King also greeted Reno and Seven.

Apple sat back down and it looked as though Twilla was looking sharply at him.

Twilla was left out by Apple and she didn't accept it.

Apple looked at it with a casual glance and Twilla thought Apple was underestimating it.

"Would you dance with me?" knox asked Apple.

Apple was of course surprised by that because Knox did not take long to show interest in Apple.

Apple smiled and nodded.

Twilla is increasingly anxious to see Apple's behavior because Apple's famous reputation can quickly melt each man is true.

That was when Knox first showed interest in Apple.

Knox stood up from his seat and approached Apple.

Knox reached out his hand at Apple and Apple greeted him with a fierce smile that usually made men melt instantly when they saw him.

"You are so beautiful" Knox smiled.

"Thank you, but I'm tired of that," said Apple, smiling and walking toward the dance floor where many couples were dancing.

Rexa and Kingson saw it from afar.

"You think they're compatible, honey?" ask Rexa to King.

"Hmm, you want to match them up?" ask King.

"No, but I'll bring them closer and I respect their decision if they don't go ahead" Rexa said.

King smiled in response.

Knox wrapped his hands around Apple's waist and Apple's hands were in front of Knox's chest.

"Where do you know my mother?" tanya Knox opened the conversation.

"I met her this afternoon when I bought her clothes in her shop. And it just so happened that Aunty's leg was sprained so I massaged her. Then aunty gave me a dress as a gift for my massage service and we ended up getting to know each other" Apple replied honestly.

Knox smiled at him.

"You got a boyfriend? I'm afraid someone's gonna mind if we dance" Knox said.

"No" replied Apple briefly.

"You want to be my girlfriend?" asked Knox which of course made Apple shocked because just as quickly as Knox shot him.

Apple's forehead wrinkled at Knox's.

"You're playing me?" ask Apple.

"No, I'm serious. I also have no lover and am on a single this week" Knox said.

Apple knitted its brows and then chuckled.

"You're a playboy?" ask Apple.

"Is there a problem?" ask Knox back.

"No, I love a playboy" replied Apple as it is.

Knox laughed at Apple's honest words.

"For no one to get hurt if they break up?" sahut Knox's.

"That's one of them" replied Apple.

"Then?" ask Knox.

"Hmm?" sahut Apple's.

"You accepted me?" ask Knox.

"of course. I like to have a lot of experience" Apple said.

"You're very honest, I like that" Knox said.

"I'm just being myself" Apple said.

"Your reputation ..." Knox's words hang.

"Playgirl? I don't care about that" Apple said.

"You're quite interesting" Knox said.

"No no no ... You wrong. The truth is I'm very attractive" said Apple smiling confidently.
