His Ascension A peep on a beauty
Jane pulled out a book from her bag and began fiddling with its pages. She assumed that the act will send a message to Ken that she was about to engage in an activity so he could leave her alone but Ken was still seated opposite her, sipping slowly from his glass."I think I should leave now," Jane said and plunged the novel inside her bag. She was about to stand up but Ken stopped her by placing his hand in her way."Don't leave just yet. Please." he implored.She carefully placed her bag on the table and heaved a deep sigh. "You wanted to thank me for helping you out with the Charlie situation and you did so a while ago so there's no point in me staying here. I guess we are done here and I'm also done with my meal." maintained Jane.Ken couldn't tell why it was difficult for him to let her go. They weren't cool buddies and had only said a thing or two yet he wasn't willing to allow her to leave just yet."Chill, you seem a bit on the edge," Ken told her.Both her hands were position
His Ascension Caught in the act.
Cassie dropped her glass of red wine on the counter with a mischievous smile. She hopped down from the stool and marched toward Ken.She was wearing a long brown gown that stretched to the sole of her feet."For how long have you been sitting there?" demanded Ken after she walked up to him.She occupied the seat Jane earlier sat on a while ago with a smile. She dropped her glossy purse on the table and crossed her legs."First of all, sorry I'm late but on second thought, I'm not sorry," Cassie replied with a twinkle."Seriously Cassie?""Well, if I didn't show up late, I would have missed catching a glimpse at you drooling over that chic." she maintained. "You should have since your face Ken. Damn, I should have taken a picture."Ken turned away and waved his palm down. "Drooling? Oh, come on I wasn't drooling."Cassie broke into a dry laugh and slumped on the chair. "Maybe I should have stood up and whacked her ass. I'm your girlfriend you know, so no girl is allowed to make your he
His Ascension For how long?
Ken roved his eyes around the exam hall hoping to catch a glimpse of Jane but the girl was nowhere to be found. He turned left, right, and even stood up and turned back yet, there was no sign of her.The question papers were yet to be distributed. Ken sat and was hoping that she'll walk in through the door but unknown to him, she was the first to come to the exam hall and had already taken a seat in the last row.It's been two days since her meeting with Ken and he couldn't tell why it felt as if he hadn't seen her in weeks. There was no denying that her thoughts were beginning to get into his head.He had spent the last weekend dreaming about her day and night. He woke up with a smile after her beautiful face fluttered in his mind that morning and he was determined to meet her at all costs.After the examination, Ken loitered outside the hall. He watched the students leave, some in groups. He didn't see Jane walk out and he became worried.Did she miss the exams? Could she be sick? W
His Ascension Getting closer the clumsy girl.
Jane walked into the cafe pressing an anatomy textbook to herself. She was about to take a seat in the front booth when she turned around and saw Ken staring at her, his arms folded across his chest.Ken was gaping at her like an owl. With a gasp, she slowly turned around and muttered under her breath "Busted".Ken abandoned the orange juice and doughnuts on his table and quickly began marching toward her. Jane felt his footsteps reaching toward her, she tightened her grip on her books, heaved a deep sigh, and sat with a fake smile plastered across her face.Ken sat on the chair opposite her. He positioned his hands on the table. She roved her eyes from one angle of the cafe to the other.He cleared his throat loudly and said to her. "It's just four people here."She forced a grin. Ken knew that she was nervous and had earlier stated that she doesn't want to be seen around him due to her low-profile kind of life. He pointed out to her that there were just a few people in the cafe so
His Ascension We'd see how it goes.
"Wow!" marveled Ken. He might not know much about Jane but he could swear that she was more like him when it came to accomplishing tasks."That's exactly what I do all the time. If I don't complete the tasks I set for myself, I won't have peace." Jane replied and shook her head."That's more like me," commented Ken.She smiled and folded her arms across her chest. "Shouldn't you be in your room by now?"Ken stared at the watch on his left wrist. "Are you asking me to leave?""I don't own the fucking place," Jane replied. "You can stay here for as long as you wish," she added with a warm smile.Ken positioned both his hands on the table and cleared his throat loudly in his bid to prove to her that he wasn't ready to leave anytime soon."So what do you do for fun? I mean, your hobbies," he asked.Jane gave her forehead a delicate scrape. "I read.""That's cool. What genre of books do you read?" "Classics, history, philosophy, and more," she replied.Ken was pleased. "I must say you qui
His Ascension A date with her
The first semester examinations which lasted for about two weeks came to an end for the year one student of Harvard. Some of the students had begun packing up to leave the campus. Ken returned to his room with a broad smile plastered on his face. He had just completed his examination for the semester. It had been a hectic period for him but he was confident that the results would be great. When he got to the room, he met Mark stuffing some clothes into his luggage bag. "You are leaving already?" "Tomorrow," Mark replied and continued pulling out the clothes from his wardrobe.Ken pulled out his mobile phone from one of his table cabinets. He settled by the edge of his bed and began staring at the phone without blinking.On his way out of the hall that afternoon, he bumped into Jane. They exchanged a few pleasantries and she promised to give him a call or send him a text.What's taking her so long? he wondered after heaving a deep sigh while looking at his phone screen. When he lif
His Ascension Stay away from Ken!
Jane was walking to her hostel when she heard footsteps clicking behind her. She stopped and turned around to see the people hurrying after her.A group of girls marched up to her with hard faces. Before she could blink, they formed a circle around her. The surprised Jane roved her eyes around them wondering who they were.None of the girls looked familiar. Why are they forming a circle around her and why are they harboring hard faces? she wondered. They looked as if they were going to pounce on her.Before she could speak, one of the girls rushed toward her. She was carrying a pail behind her and in a flash, she poured the water on Jane, wetting her from head to toe.When Jane opened her eyes, they were all gone. She hugged herself as her teeth began to clatter. A bucket of cold water had just been splashed on her.She moved to a corner and squeezed her top. She brushed off her jeans and massage the water out of her hair. She was freezing to death.While wondering who the girls were
His Ascension Job hunting.
Ken couldn't stop stamping his left leg as the feeling of anxiety was taking over him. He had been sitting at the reception for almost twenty minutes and was yet to get a response from the young secretary who walked into her boss's office. She promised to get back to him but didn't come out.Ken had drafted an application letter and sent it to the grocery store the previous day after he stumbled on the vacant post placed at the entrance. He had applied for the post of sales personnel and was asked to return the next day by 10 am sharp for an interview.Immediately the secretary walked out of her boss's office, Ken rose to his feet. She had told him when he walked in twenty minutes ago that her boss, the owner of the grocery store was going to interview him that morning.She walked up to Ken with a faint smile and his heart skipped a beat after she shook her head sadly. "I'm sorry boy. You don't fit in."Ken raised a brow and darted his gaze from her ponytail down to her glossy red hee
