14. Her Identity

DANIEL'S POV
"Earlier, I asked Mark to run an investigation on her. This brown pack here contains answers to probably all my questions." I said and Roe leaned closer.
"What could it probably contain that Jay and I don't already know?" He asked, looking at Mark.
"There's more to the fact that she's a dancer." Mark said.
"A dancer? What sort of dancer? Wait! She's the celebrity dancer Jay's been crushing on? The Dazzling Stars dancers?" I asked skeptically as I stared at them.
"Yes, she's a celebrity dancer and the leader of the Dazzling Stars Dancers and No she isn't the dancer Jay's interested in." Roe explained while Jay raised a brow.
"Interested in? Seriously guys?" He asked unbelievably. "Who said I'm having a crush on her? I...I jus...just admire her." He added with a little bit of uncertainty. Roe rolled his eyes away. And me, I just stared at him. He never admits to the fact that's he's interested in her.
Jay's scared!
He's not even aware of what's happening to him. For all I know, Jay's been interested in a particular dancer for some months now and never fails to watch all her videos. Even his sister Lisa, can testify to that.
Well that's his problem.
Moving on...
"Mark is that all there's to know about her?" I asked him. I choose to ignore Jay's denial. I don't have the strength to argue with him. I'm sure Roe doesn't either.
"No sir. There's more to her personality than this. You can see for yourself in the envelope. Everything you need to know about her is there." He said calmly.
I nodded and opened the package.
What could be more?
The envelope tore open and some photos and a document fell off. I picked them up and looked at them. There was a photo of her alone, also that of herself and her friends and another of her and the Scotts. Wait! Why is she with the Scotts? Does that mean she's their daughter? I dropped the pictures on the table. My friends picked them up. I hurriedly went through the documentary and jeez I was surprised at what it says.
"Damn!" I exclaimed. My friends peered at me.
"What does it say?" They simultaneously asked.
"Her name it says here, are Princess Diva Danielle Scott although her stage name is BLACK DIVA. She's the only child of Mr Timothy and Mrs Elizabeth Scott and the heiress to the SCOTT'S BUSINESS EMPIRE the fifth most successful business industry in America. She's the leader of the DAZZLING STARS DANCERS which is listed amongst the best dance crew in America. Black Diva started her career at the age of sixteen with her two best friends 'Rosalie and Saline' whose parents are also very popular in the business world. She graduated three years ago from highschool at LINCOLN'S HIGH SCHOOL, the best highschool in California. Presently She's a year two student studying Botany at ROYAL EMPIRE UNIVERSITY, America's third best University. Her current relationship status is..." I stopped reading. What's my business with her relationship status? Now I know who she is and why she's so bold.
All the while I was reading, my friends listened attentively to me. When I was through they gasped.
"Wow! Who would've thought." Jay gasped.
"Yeah seriously, she doesn't look it. I guess that's one of the reasons why Lucia seems so scared of her." Roe added. My face turned sour at the mention of that girl's name, reminding me why I'm in Sacramento in the first place.
I hissed inwardly. I won't and I can't let my father make choices for me. I'm not a kid.
"Wait did you say her name's Danielle?" Jay asked with a sly smirk on his face. I know what he's thinking.
"Wow Daniel, you guys are namesakes. Isn't this great news?" Roe added smirking too.
"Don't even think about it." I said with an eyeroll. They laughed.
"Well Sir, what would you have me do to her?" Mark asked me. My friends frowned at that.
"Just let her be. She's lucky her status saved her." I said dismissively.
"Okay Sir."
"Were you planning on doing something to her before, Daniel?" Roe asked unbelievably. He's too soft towards females.
"You know me Roe. After Goldie I've always hated this gender." I replied.
"You are too stubborn headed Daniel. It's great you met your match." Roe said with a smile.
"Honestly. I can't wait to see the next drama that's gonna enfold between them." Roe added, placing a hand on his cheek with his elbow on his lap. I smirked.
"Nothing's gonna enfold. Although I don't know why I feel like I've met her before. There's this weird gaze she has that seems to ring a bell..." I looked at my friends they were looking at me like I just said the unbelievable "I know it's weird but I just can't help the feeling. That's why I asked Mark to run an investigation earlier. But looking at it now there isn't anything about her here that seems familiar. Jeez! Don't give me that look. I guess it's nothing anyway." I leaned back on the couch. They were looking at me cryptically. I know it's weird.
I glanced at Mark.
"Have you carried out the instructions I gave you earlier?" I asked.
"Yes sir. Everything has been cleared. Is there anything I can help you with?" He asked.
"Nothing for now Mark. You can return." I said.
He stood up and bowed respectfully even though he's few years older than me. He's a great and humbly guy. One of the reasons why I like him. Although the bodyguard job entitled them all to be respectful, but his is different. He's kind and nice too.
"Hey Mark. Do take care and extend our regards to our guards." Jay said.
"Yeah. Hope they are assisting you in every way possible over there?" Roe asked.
"Definitely sir. We're doing great." Mark said.
"The appointment with Mr Vegas still holds right Mark?" I asked
"Yes sir." he replied.
"Alright take care. Will see you soon."
"Goodbye" He said and walked out.
"Now Dan why do you think Danielle seems familiar?" Jay suddenly asked.
"I don't know. It's just her eyes and the way she her intense stare." I shrugged.
"Maybe you are mistaking her for someone else. Her photo, what are gonna do with it?" Roe asked looking at the framed picture. I picked it up.
"I guess I'll keep it with me until I unravel the mystery behind this feeling of familiarity I'm having with her." I said. And just like that my friends smiled a crooked knowing smile.
"What?" I asked suspiciously.
"Daniel! Daniel! It's been awhile we see you this way." Roe smiled.
"That's true. It's good though," Jay added.
I just shrug their weird remarks off.
"We should attend the school's campus fellowship on Sunday guys. What do you say?" I smiled.
"Oh boy!" Jay gasped. He doesn't like attending church that much. We usually drag him to.
"Definitely in," Roe Smiled supportively. Jay face palmed himself.
I grinned mischievously. He's definitely coming.
