“That was evil of you!” Elena exclaimed as she picked up herself, grunting in pain because she slammed her butt on the wall.Caroline stared at her, from her stained clothes to her toes. She really did her bad.“Come on, I’ll get you fresh nightie to freshen up.” Caroline suggested throwing her an apologetic look. “And while you are freshening up, I would bring dinner to bed and we can watch the movie together. Okay?”Elena was speechless. She had not gotten used to this side of Caroline. Her lips curled up in a smile. “Sure.” She finally managed to answer.Caroline nodded and made to leave for the bedroom when Elena called her attention back.Elena was staring at her watch because apparently, her phone’s battery was dead. She assumed it was so, because it was no longer turning on.She figured it must have died when she was with Adam.“Caroline!” Elena called out. “It is late. I’m really sorry but I have exams tomorrow and I need to rest.”“So no movie?” Caroline responded.“Yes. Sor
It was summer, and the air was warm. The sun shone in a cloudless sky as people walked along the streets of West Virginia.Exams had ended and students had evacuated the school grounds. Well, except for certain students that remained in school grounds for special reasons.“I am really going to miss you.” Raphael said throwing his hands over Ajax’s shoulder, hugging him tight.Elena stood by and watched them. Her keen eyes observing the tiny little details about them.Ajax looked stoic, clenching his jaw every now and then as he watched Raphael carry his things. He looked like he wanted to cry, but he had to keep his cool with an expressionless face, yet he also had to show that he would miss him too.All he needed was to balance it. Not to show too much emotions and not to show less. She would say he was doing quite a fine job.The way his hands itched and slightly reached out to Raphael when Raphael turned to her Elena.Elena was going to miss them too. They had become huge parts of
“Hey.” Adam greeted. Yes. It was that Adam. The same Adam that took on a tour round freedom movement town. The same one that Caroline liked. The same one that asked Caroline to house Elena for the night.He looked so different when compared to his previous look when he was with Elena.When he was with her, he had an air of superiority and carried himself, but now, he looked as immature as every freshman in Richmond. He was in a baggy jeans, a buttoned up T-shirt with a bag hanging over his shoulders and crossing to rest at his side.“Ajax.” He greeted seeming out of breath.“How are you doing?” Ajax asked greeting him with a smile.“I am very well.” Adam answered. “I wanted to show appreciation and thank you very much. The exam went well. Thanks to you.”Ajax smiled. “The pleasure is mine.”“Alright then.” Adam said smiling and turning around to leave.“You are also leaving for the summer holidays. Yeah?” Ajax asked as Adam turned to leave.“Yeah. Yeah I am. My family would be glad
Ajax could not wait for the week of break that Nicholas gave him. It was a known fact that he took the job so that he could distract himself from ‘science stuff’ as Nicolas put it.But lately, the effort seemed to be futile as he always found himself spacing out and bringing wrong orders. His mind would always trail back to systems. He would be creating theories in his head.Most times, he would find himself grabbing a serviette and he would scribble some words and formulas in them.He was always looking forward to joining Nicolas back at work.Luckily for him, Cam respected him enough to not yell at him in front of his customers and coworkers.***Raphael had gone back to meet his mum at California. She was married to Thorne. They had been married since the day that Nicolas ruined their reception.The relationship of the new couple had always been on ups and downs.Thorne could not remember their relationship. Well, most of it, he could not remember. He knew for certain that he li
Elena gasped. Not in fear, but in shock that these men actually meant business.Okay. Time to play no games. It was real business. They were not ready to do a break for fun or anything of the sorts. These men wanted to steal from her and they were ready to hurt her if need be.The dagger that reflected the light she saw earlier was in the hands of the very man that she thought to be the leader of the small gang of thieves.He furtively put it behind him and started to approach them.Elena had gotten distracted by the man that held the dagger that she did not see the dude in front of her attacking her.All she did was blink and she saw herself being pushed to the floor and held bound and tight by the man that was in front of her.The man that she threw flying backwards earlier had stood up and was heading towards her. The man with the knife/ dagger was also heading to her.She tried to struggle and free herself, but it seemed futile. She was not having a tight foot hold to lift hersel
Raphael could swear that he had seen that face somewhere. He could not remember clearly, but it had got something to do with Ajax. He closed his eyes as he tried thinking hard with his heart hammering quickly in his chest. He knew Elena was coming upstairs and he could already envision the rage that would be on her face once she came in and found him in her room.The picture was a little bit bigger than the size of a passport photograph, so he swiftly put the picture in his pocket and with one last glance at the room, he hurried out, heading to the door.Immediately he got to the door, the knob turned on its own and the door was flung open and a surprised Elena was before him.“Oh my God!” She screamed falling backwards, away from him.Raphael quickly rushed her and placed his hands over her mouth. “Shh!” He hushed her as she screamed into his hands. “You are going to wake everybody up!” He whispered in her ears.With eyes wide open in horror she stop
She sat on him and tore his shirt aggressively.“Elena!” Raphael called screaming, as he shut his eyes tight and tried to get her off him but she was too strong.Elena who was on top of him, fell to side, getting off of him began to laugh hysterically.“It’s not funny!” Raphael screamed scurrying away from her.Elena glanced at his face and the fear and relief on his face made her laugh the more. She was only just playing with him and pretending to do the distractions he saw on the 18 plus movies he watched and he got scared along the way.“You need to wash that clown make over off your face.” Elena managed to voice out through her laughter, because it was making him look more hilarious and it was difficult containing her laughter.Elena sighed. “Come on. Let me help you. Sit.” She said pointing at the chair.She pulled open a drawer and brought out a packet of wipes.“What is that?” Raphael asked glaring at her as she approached him with it
Ajax swallowed hard as he was beginning to feel tense. “Umm….” Ajax mumbled feigning surprise. “Sorry, I don’t understand What do you-”“Don’t lie to me Ajax Rodney Ronald.” Vaughn warned, his eyes glaring.“Ugh.. fine.” Ajax said sighing in surrender. “First of all, don’t be mad.” Ajax stretched his hands forth in a bid to calm Vaughn because Vaughn’s face grew expressionless as seconds ticked by.“Yes, I work at Grey’s labs despite your warnings.” Ajax said.Vaughn nodded. “Go ahead.” He said as Ajax paused. “I want to know everything. How is it there? Why did you choose to work there? What exactly is your job there?”“Well…” Ajax paused as he stared at Vaughn pointedly. Could he trust Vaughn? Well, of course he could, he was his only family alive, but would it be okay revealing these secrets of Grey’s labs to him?“Go ahead Ajax. Tell me the truth.” Vaughn said softly, his eyes assuring Ajax that it was fine.“Nicholas granted me access to my parents labs.” Ajax finally said afte
