Chloe nodded and twitched into the bathroom to brush her teeth. Vanessa was ready and she moved to the dinning room to take her breakfast.Her plan is just to leave instantly before or after the kids. While stepping down the stairs, she sighted Xavier in the sitting room about to dash out."Mr. Xavier…" she called, distracting him.He turned to see her and smiled. "How are you doing Vanessa?"She returned the smile, moving closer to him. "I'm very fine sir, just wanted to ask you a question.""Go ahead, I'm all ears." He assured me.Vanessa swallowed her saliva. "I've not set my eyes on Lilian since yesterday, hope you're on good terms with her? Look Mr Xavier, I don't ever want to be the reason you're having issues with your fiance."Xavier looked off, she found that question pulling the past to his brain, thereby getting him irritated."I knew she's responsible for your disappearance, because she's been tackling you. And so, I threatened to deal with her if you aren't back before su
"Uhmmm! Do you know me? Okay, just let me be on my own first." She uttered, feeling a bit relieved.He let go of her waist. "Take a good look at me, did you recognize this face?"She narrowed her eyes while recalling the past. Finally, it hit her mind on where she met the face."You stopped me yesterday right?" She asked him.He nodded facing her. "I did, and I'm still Jasper Turner. The only man that disturbs a lady like you."She chuckled wondering what he's up to. "So what can I do for you?" She asked, stepping forward.He gripped her palm taking her towards his car, she gently followed him.She leaned on the car forcing her to do so. "I'm in a haste, just let me know the reason you stopped me."He licked his lips, staring at her. "First, what's your name? You didn't tell me.""I'm Vanessa." She stated. "Now you'll speak up right?"He breathed heavily. "I have interest in you Vanessa. Can we go on a date during the weekend?"She lifted her face and glanced at him. "I don't really g
Chloe sat watching her as she arranged the room and her clothes too."Ma'am Vanessa, when will you teach me how to do all these things you do? I'd like to learn." She referred to drawing Vanessa's attention.She stood erect facing her. "When it's time, I'll teach you. But now you need to start arranging your clothes.""I think I can do that. You know what, I'll do it before you come tomorrow and you examine it when you arrive." Chloe replied.She nodded and went ahead with the chores.After she was done, and was sure that Tracy was done preparing their dinner, she decided to go meet her in order to take that of Chloe.While walking towards the stairs, she heard a voice of someone in agony but making a call.That voice paused her movement and she decided to trace where it's coming from.Finally, she noticed it's from Ben's room.She stood in the corridor listening to all he had been saying through the phone, but wasn't shocked when she heard him say he's in love with a girl in his scho
"There's no time left for you, so please leave if you're done with today's work." Ben spluttered.He tried shutting the door, but Nessa didn't let him. She insisted on speaking with him."But I just told you that I'm not interested to hear the hell you're about to say. Why not just let me be for goodness sake… " he yelled at her but not in a high voice.Nessa swallowed deeply. She wouldn't care to know the swear words she might use on her this time, all she needs is his attention."Trust me Ben, you won't ever regret welcoming me to tell you this. If it isn't important, then I wouldn't be here." She referred to him."I wonder what the hell you wanna tell me that's so important to leave since you're done with your work." He replied aggressively.She took a deep breath. Her head lifted upwards and then she bent it low, biting her lips slightly."It isn't mandatory that you would let me into your room, just promise to give me your ears while I go ahead with anything I want to say." She r
"I just wish to sleep off instantly, so I can read my books at midnight." He muttered, shutting his eyes. •~•~•~•They all ran around the building all in the name of getting ready for school. It's obvious they had slept ahead of time.But they aren't to blame, they woke up to read in the middle of the night and it really affected them waking up as early as always.Tracy tried as much as she could to get their breakfast prepared so they wouldn't starve before leaving. She had concluded on preparing their lunch as well if there's much time ahead, otherwise… The lunch will be prepared once they're back.Chloe was still brushing their teeth when Vanessa stepped into her room, herself was also a bit late because she didn't sleep on time."Good morning ma'am Vanessa…" She greeted her from the bathroom.She responded with a smile and dropped her handbag. "You all woke up late right?""How did you know that?" Chloe asked her.She got seated on the bed. "Tracy is still preparing your breakfa
During break hour, Ben left with his friends to go have some fun together.His closest friend amongst them drew him closer."You've never said anything about Melissa since today or you've changed your mind from approaching her…" he referred to Ben.He rolled his eyes. "I'm still thinking of how to do that, already you know I'm a shy type of guy.""This time you need to be courageous. I'm saying this because the new guy that came in our class had already approached her." He stated.His eyes widened and face grimaced. "What do you mean? He's already crushing on her."He knitted his eyebrows. "That's it. Though I'm not sure if Melissa accepted the request, but then you need to approach her too. It's much better than hiding, who knows she might love you.""Look, I don't want to quarrel with anyone because of a girl. I don't just want that." Ben remarked."What's yours will always be yours. If Melissa loves you, that guy can't take her away from you." His friend advised.He twisted his lip
She glanced at her and sniffed. "I miss my mother. I want her back to me. It's really heartbreaking that she's no more."Vanessa bit her lips, she understood how the girl felt. Living a life without a mother is kind of hurting. Talk more of the kids losing her in an early stage."My classmate molested me because of that, she bullied me and cursed me for being a motherless child because I refused to give her my answer script. She accused me of being the reason for my mother's death." She started again.Vanessa was right in her shoes this time, facing the pain of being accused that you're behind what you know nothing about. That's so painful that it can damage someone's identity."You need to wipe everything off your mind and focus on your education. She's sad because you will never let her take your position all in the name of being a friend." She cuddled her into her arms running her fingers in her hair.Tracy rested her head on her chest feeling relaxed, she wished not to let her go
Vanessa burst into laughter. "And what's that he had always wanted from her?" She asked Chloe who was all ears to her question."A kiss… a warm hug and the three words everyone knows…""Which is?""I love you…" Chloe responded.She bursted into laughter again. "You're so smart to know what love is all about at this age huh? Well that's by the way, keep going with your interesting story.""From that point, they became lovers and the next thing was to get married which took place in a haste. They lived happily ever after with their kids." She concluded."I'm sure you aren't expecting me to learn a lesson from this too." Vanessa referred to her.She chuckled and fell on the bed. "This time, you won't just learn a lesson… but you'll count your teeth with your tongue.""You must be crazy Chloe." She uttered giggling. She has nothing to do with the story and isn't after to know the reason behind her comment."Actually I'm crazy because of you… and the other side of it." She replied.Nessa h
