"Do you think it's okay?" Ken asked while sliding a blue tie around his neck.He was throwing the question at Ray. Ken was standing before his large dressing mirror. He was with Ray in the room.Ray got up from the edge of the bed and moved closer to Ken. He stood in front of him and roved his eyes around the boy, checking him out like he was a specimen."Stop acting like a fashion designer Ray. Just tell me if the tie corresponds with the dress." Ken said and tightened the grip the tie had around his neck.Ray chuckled and folded his arms across his head. "I think you should take it off."Ken arched a brow. "You think so?" He lowered his hands to his hips.He was wearing a pair of blue plain trousers and a white tee shirt."It's a long sleeve shirt and seeing that you've buttoned it all up to your neck, I don't think putting on a tie is necessary," Ray replied."Really?"Ray nodded repeatedly. "It's a dinner date, not some prom event or a business meeting. You don't want to look too
"Why didn't you tell me your stupid plan failed?" Charlie yelled at Miranda over the phone.He had been blowing up her phone for the past ten minutes and when she noticed that the calls persisted, she decided to pick up.She shut her eyes and heaved a deep sigh, imagining the fury in his eyes. If she wasn't out of his reach, Miranda knew he would strike her on the cheek because his voice was communicating anger."I'm still working on it" was her reply."You are still working on it?" He fired. "Stop lying to me. You are working on nothing Miranda. I just can't believe that I trusted you with such a huge responsibility."There was silence from Miranda's end. She feared that Charlie was going to discover that Ken and Jane outsmarted her and he might also come to realize that she planned to double-cross him. Now, it seemed what she feared was happening. He knew she failed him."For God's sake, Charlie stop acting like a dick. I need you to trust me on this. I said I'm working on it so rel
Ken sat up. Did she just say she knew about Raspberry?"I mean no!' Jane sharply replied.Ken displayed a blank expression. A while ago, she had admitted to knowing about Raspberry and now, she was switching sides."You said yes a while ago and now you are disagreeing?"Jane cleared her throat loudly and put on a broad smile. Ken wondered whether she was smiling to cover up all she knew or whether the smile was an assurance that she was telling the truth."Let's just say it's a slip of the tongue babe and by the way, why are you suddenly asking me about your workplace." She replied and pressed the menu card on the table."Jane, if you know anything about Raspberry and you want to share it with me, kindly do so." He implored, staring at her straight in the face.The moment Jane averted his gaze by casting her eyes on the table, he sensed something fishy."Come on babe. I said Yes because you threw the question at me and when I later realized what I'd just said, I gave the fitting reply
The ride from the restaurant to Ken's apartment was a silent one. No words were spoken. Ray was sensitive enough to detect that the boy was pissed and he knew starting any conversation might fuel his rage.Ray drove to the estate and pulled the Lamborghini to the parking lot. Before he could turn off the car, Ken was already taking off his seat belt in his bid to get out.He jumped out of the vehicle and dashed to his apartment while Ray stood behind, pondering the reason behind the sudden change in Ken's countenance.Ken made his way into the bedroom and began taking off his shirt aggressively. He didn't even bother to turn on the lights until a button fell off his sleeve."Useless button!" He cussed and turned on the lights.He swapped his outfit for his overall pajamas and jumped on the bed after turning off the lights.He laid on his back, and grabbed a pillow but couldn't fall asleep.The moment he turned left, his phone began to ring and without checking who the caller was, he k
"Come out of this room this minute!" Charlie roared from the outside and continued banging on the door to Miranda's room.Charlie knew the rules. No one is allowed to create any form of commotion or cause any form of noise around or inside the hostels but there he was, trying to pull down the door to Miranda's room.Miranda had taken her head into her hands and was pacing inside the room aimlessly. Thank Goodness Daniella and her other roommates weren't around else she'll be more embraced than she was at the moment.If was a girl's hostel and she knew they'll kill for any form of entertainment. She wouldn't be surprised if she opens that door and meets a group of girls standing beside Charlie, waiting for news."I said open this door you bitch!" He thundered."Son of a bitch!" She cussed and crashed by the edge of her bed.Charlie has always been an aggressive lad and she knew if she doesn't open that door, he was going to keep hitting it till she gets a migraine.She abruptly stood u
Jane stared at the phone screen with her brows furrowing in anger. She knew that if she doesn't pick up the call, the calls will persist.After the little drama that ensued between her and Ken that morning, everything seemed to piss her off lately. She even skipped the other classes scheduled for the day and headed home.She settled by the edge of the bed and finally picked up the call. It was an official call and she was wise enough to not miss it no matter the state of her mind."Hello!" She mumbled."We've been waiting for your review."She sighed and gave her forehead a delicate scrape. She was to review an official document and send it back by that morning."I was waiting for it and I didn't receive any email." She replied."The email was sent to you last night." The caller stated.Jane's eyes widened in surprise. "Really?"The only notification she received via her email was from an online class she was taking."Check your email ma'am." The caller told her and hung up.Jane quic
Jane was transfixed on the spot and was dying to see if Ken would turn around to look at her but he didn't. He kept walking away and each step he took farther away, broke her heart into shreds.With a frustrated sigh, she turned around, wiped the tears that were streaming down her cheeks with the edge of her palms, and aimed for the gate she had used in coming into the campus.She was going to abandon the day's lecture and head home.Ken stopped.He shut his eyes, exhaled, and turned around. He saw Jane walking away and he felt a sharp pain in his chest.Ken moved to the wall by his right and rested his back against it. He knew he wasn't being fair to Jane and he couldn't help but miss their private dates and humorous hangouts.He wanted to run after her but decided to let her be. Maybe he needed to carry out the silent treatment for some time. Hopefully, she'll realize that all she had to do was open up to him and let in into her world.He pulled out his phone and decided to call Cas
Ken waited for about five minutes for Cassie to call him back but his phone didn't ring. Could she be on her way to his apartment? He wondered and settled by the edge of the bed.An hour passed and there was no sign of Cassie and she didn't call back. He decided to call her."Hi, bro!" She mumbled in a tone that was different from the one she had used earlier.Her voice sounded firm and not even a ripple could be detected which suggested she had been crying over the phone earlier when she called."I'm waiting for you to show up." Ken stammered."How about we meet up some other day? I'm busy right now and it's kind of late," replied Cassie.Ken was stunned. Didn't she call him an hour ago crying profusely, seeking his company? What had suddenly gone wrong? He couldn't help but wonder."Didn't you want us to talk? I thought there was a problem and..." Ken was still speaking when she interrupted."Don't worry about a thing Ken. I'm good now. I was just having a mood swing due to my perio
