What in the world was Charlie doing at the restaurant at such an hour wondered Ken. Why do Charlie and his girlfriend Miranda, always turn up at the wrong time and end up ruining things?Charlie had vowed to never initiate Ken in a fight. He had seen the guy's martial art skills on display several times and he would be a fool to start a fight with Ken."I'm just here to grab my girl," Charlie said and slid his arm into Miranda's.With the look that says 'You are done for?' he began dragging Miranda out of the restaurant.Ken was stunned that Charlie didn't pick up a fight with him neither was the guy willing to engage him in his usual small talk.Charlie and Miranda left.Ken turned around and began taking strides toward Jane. Her beautiful floral gown which was immaculately dazzling earlier had turned red and was looking damp.The waitresses had tried to clean her up but her hair was soiled with red wine and sauce droplets."I'll use the restroom." she excused herself the moment Ken
Fuck!" Miranda cussed and slapped her right thigh repeatedly. Charlie was about to share with her the plan he had for Ken but then, his useless phone had to ring.She turned to her left and looked through the window. Charlie was engrossed in his phone call. He was backing her and seemed to be having an extensive discussion with his caller.Charlie never moved an inch to answer his phone calls whenever she was around but now, he had to jump out of the car and even moved to a distance so he could pick up the call. Miranda suspected something fishy but that's not her bone of contention.She smiled and threw her head back as her mind traveled back to the havoc she caused. She recollected how she painted Jane's head and face with wine and sauce. She had turned the beautiful girl into a troll overnight and the mess she created gladdened her heart.Now, Jane must be so mad at Ken that she must have walked out on him Miranda concluded. However, she wasn't sure whether that was enough reason
Should I call her or not?" Ken wondered out loud.It was Saturday morning and he had just returned from the gym down his street. He was pondering whether to call Jane or not.The last time they met was during their dinner at Grizzle which was ruined. All thanks to Miranda. That day, Ken wanted to make it up to Jane. He had suggested that they place another order but she didn't take the offer. He didn't push it because he knew the girl had gone through a lot that night. If it were another girl, she would have walked out on him.It's been a week past the incident and he barely got in touch with Jane. He called her twice on several occasions and she only returned his call once. In class, they only exchanged a few pleasantries and Ken didn't ask about his proposal.Maybe he should just go ahead and place the call he concluded and leaned on the kitchen counter. Since it was a weekend, she was bound to be free or they might reschedule for the next day.He placed the call.Ken sighed and dro
"Just a moment Ken. Please!" Miranda implored and hurried after him.After their class for the day ended around 1 pm, Ken took the route that led to the college library and Miranda followed him so she could pull him to a corner for a conversation.Ken kept taking rushed steps toward the library. He didn't stop or turn back to look at her. As far as he was concerned, she was now pure evil and he needed to stay away from her.She ran after him and was about to grab his shirt in her bid to force him to turn around when he turned to face her with a clenched jaw. "Stop running after me like some damn parasite."She sighed and tried to get closer to him but Ken drifted backward."Would you please listen to me?"Ken arched a brow. "Listen to you? After all the madness you displayed the other day at the restaurant?" He shook his head and glared at her. "If I ever had any respect for you then I want to let you know that it's all gone, Miranda. Only a hooligan would pull out the activities you
Ken's jaw dropped. It was Miranda who tried to seduce him and now she was screaming for help? He tossed her to the floor like a piece of paper and stood up with clenched fists."You bitch!" He cussed with his nostrils puffing hot air.Before he could blink, Charlie was already in the room and had rushed to Miranda's aid. He helped her get off the floor.She got up on the floor while sobbing, she pulled Charlie to herself and immersed him in a hug while Ken watched with astonishing eyes.She quickly slipped behind Charlie as he began taking steps toward Ken to address him."Did you just try to rape my girlfriend?""Rape?" Screamed a shocked Ken. "It was your girlfriend who came to my house and was crying over how you tried to rape her and suddenly, she jumped on me and began to act silly."Charlie broke into a wicked laugh and Ken couldn't be more stunned. He charged toward Charlie and tried to get Miranda to move out from her hiding spot."Tell him the damn truth Miranda!"She didn't
So were you able to get hold of the video?" Walter demanded.He was sitting opposite Charlie in a bar. They were having a drink of whisky and it was a few minutes past 10 pm.Charlie grabbed his glass and raised it to his face. "I didn't collect the video." He replied.Walter sat up with a surprised expression. "What the hell bro? That's the evidence you need to pin that bastard once and for all."Charlie smiled and wiped the corners of his mouth with the edge of his palm. "What do you take me for Walter? A jackass?" He broke into a laugh.After he shared the incident that unfolded in Ken's apartment the other day, Walter had expected Charlie to take over the video from Miranda and have it uploaded to the student's blog. It's been twenty-four hours since the incident and Charlie still didn't own the video."So what are you going to do?"Charlie threw his back against the chair. "It was Miranda's idea to seduce Ken and I liked the idea so after she told me about it, I gave her my bless
We have a test tomorrow!" Ken hinted. At that moment, he needed all the excuses he could make to be free from meeting with Miranda that night.His phone speaker filtered her giggle and he couldn't be more irked. Was she making fun of him?He sighed and rested his back against the wall, waiting for her to speak while he kept drowning in the pool of suspense."You know I love you right?" came Miranda's voice.Ken shook his head. It wasn't what he needed to hear at that moment."I'll do anything for you Ken and as long as you are willing to cooperate, we won't have any issues." She maintained.nKen's brows furrowed in annoyance. Wait till I find my way out of this mess he thought and waited for her to spill out all she was harboring."Since it's late and we both have to study for tomorrow's test, We can cancel the meeting." She said.Ken's heart leaped with joy. Finally, he'll be free from the web she was trying to lead him into, maybe for the height because like the devil, he knew Miran
Come with me!" Ken instructed Jane and took the lead. She followed him to one of the open-space restaurants on campus.As usual, they settled for the last booth. There were no customers in the last row so Ken felt that it was the right space to open up his heart to Jane."Do you want to place an order?"Jane shook her head in disagreement. "I won't even have a glass of water until you tell me why you've suddenly turned into Miranda's puppet.Ken positioned both his hands on the table, looked Jane straight in the eyes, and said. "She's blackmailing me.""Ok..ay!" Jane slurred and dropped her textbook on the table. She raised a brow in confusion, hinting at Ken to say more.He cleared his throat loudly and continued speaking. "Miranda showed up at my apartment one night. She was looking terrible, had no shoes on, and was frightened to death." He paused and shook his head. "If I had known that it was all a ploy, I wouldn't have let her in."Jane was paying keen attention."So I allowed h
