-Stella-
"She said that you shouldn't touch her!" Terry says out in an angered tone.
And Elvis who is now lip bleeding
looks up at me and I had no choice but to pity him.
I walked passed Terry who was protecting me From Elvis who seems to be defeated feeling weak.
"You should not pity him... He almost killed you" Terry said to me annoyed.
"He's my best friend... Who are you to me?" I asked Terry as I held Elvis' face.
Terry looks at me with a surprised look, I can see as his muscles harden and his abs contracting.
I had upset him.
I did not mean to say it that way but I guess it was the truth.
He must feel now that I am an unreasonable person and between... Stanley quickly walks away.
But then I have to do this to maintain the friendship I have with Elvis.
Terry walks away out of disgust or anger... Or I'm guessing disappointmentm
I really don't know it, but I hope he forgives my rudeness.
Elvis stands up and walks away too and I look at him as he walks away with his bleeding lips.
"Who's going to take me home if you leave?" I shouted out loud to him hoping that he will act like a gentleman.
Rather he walks downstairs and then through the building door glass.
I can see him running to Stanley who was not so far from his car.
They both got into his own car and then they drove off leaving me behind.
I wonder why he does not want to drive me home then tears begin to fall from my eyes.
I was not able to control it, I had remembered how my mum had driven off with someone else, leaving I and my dad alone, then it started to rain.
Gosh!
And it's already getting late, I wonder what I will become if I stay in this gym much longer.
Through the glass wall of the building, I can see terry running towards a car.
He had made to beep and so He gets into his car and is about to drive off and I am sure that before I reach downstairs he would be gone.
But then a car got into his front and he was blocked.
I saw that I could meet up with him so I ran downstairs and under the rain, I ran to his car.
Putting my hands together and pleading to him, He opened the door for me and I quickly hop in.
Then the car in front drove off and he had enough space to drive out as well.
Soon enough, we were on the road and from a bag, at the back seat of his car he gave me a towel which I used to dry up my face with silence filling our speechlessness.
"I'm sorry for earlier"
"I did not mean to upset you in any form" I continued "it's okay, people have said the worst things to me... So it's not a big deal, feel free" Terry says to mem
"Shit! the rain today is so tough, I think we would have to park for a while... you know I am carrying the daughter of a multimillionaire" Terry continued acting cute.
"Oh shut it, you don't have to say it like that, you are supposed to call me a queen," I said to him
"That's funny," Terry says to me with a cute smile appearing on his face and his eyes that were glowing from the sunlight that pierced through the rain.
"Wait what am I doing," I said in my mind confused at some point.
"Stella do not fall for him, don't admire his features... Just focus on you reaching home and don't ever think that you are in love because you are not" I said to myself in my mind.
Terry parks his car in a free parking ground and waits for a while, then he turns and our eyes meet with sparkles everywhere.
What the hell is this?
I turn to look away immediately, "Oh, was I just lust admiring him again?" I said in my mind as I looked the other way.
"Hey, I will be dropping you at a bus stop and from there I will be gone I have another meeting to attend.
You can follow me there too if you want, it's actually an interview for a job," Terry says to me frankly.
"Then I imagined myself been in a bus with smelly dirty people, no... I can't take it" I said in my mind again.
"I will follow you"
"Oh what? okay, " Terry replied me like he did not expect my reply.
"Wait... Were you expecting me to say no,"
"kinda, I thought you would say no to follow me" Terry replied to me.
"I hope it is not so far, because I don't want to be late before I reach home... It would be wrong to meet my dad at home late again."
"And don't think it is because I have found interest in you... Because I really don't" I said to Terry who seems to smile while I talk.
God! He's so handsome.
"Okay, I will call my driver to come to pick me up," I said to Terry who was still smiling.
"Why the hell are you smiling?" I ask Terry who is still smiling at me.
I just hope and pray that he has no evil intentions, "Where are you going to? My house is by the left road, you can just drop me off and go for your interview" I said to Terry who still carried a smile on his face.
"Lord, why is he still silent all of a sudden, is this how when you are been kidnapped the person becomes," I said in my mind a little bit afraid of him.
"You are starting to scare me with that smile, where are we going to?" I asked Terry who is still driving to literally nowhere that I know.
"I know a place we could have fun today, I promise to take you back home," Terry said to me "How should I be sure that you don't want to kidnap and torture me, and not forgetting that you mentioned an interview," I said to him.
"Hahaha, no! I won't do much to a lady" Terry said to me giving me a flirty look.
"Uh... Okay, but how about your job interview?" I asked him.
"Don't worry about that, I have already texted someone there to tell them that I will not be available today, so it's cool?" he says just before.
"Boom!" A traumatic sound.
-Stella-"Hey, I meant what I said, I do not trust you," I said to Terry as he continued to drive."Please Mr. Terry, tell me where we are going to," I said to him once more."We have reached," Terry said to me as he came out of the car."Where are you going? I am not supposed to be here you know" I said to Terry as he walks with his body built like a god into a building that looked like a restaurant."Don't forget that I am still here," I said to him."Wait, shouldn't I be with him right now," I said to myself and then I opened the door of the car and walked towards the building which he had entered.finally, I can see him and I ran to meet up with him.Boom! I hit into a guy and we both fell to the ground staring at each other with me on him."I know what you are thinking, this is the part where I meet the gu
-Stella-They were holding hands and playing, I turned back and my eyes met with that of Terry.He looks at me and I can see his mood changing, it carried the worried looks, I ran to him and held his hands to run away, He follows me as I take the lead.We both hid behind a very huge tree peeping at Elvis and Stanley as they walked by.Terry was covering me who was peeping out to see what these two people were doing."Oh my God, they are kissing," I said in an inaudible voice with hurt burning through me, but Terry heard me and he stretched his neck out to peep.He walks away from the tree and heads towards them.I ran and I held his hand, "Terry, don't interfere" I said to him trying to make him back out as I controlled my feelings."I know you like him, you should not let him hurt you like this" Terry says to me as he tries

-Stella-He Kissed me with his lips as sweet as strawberries, wait did he secretly buy strawberry ice cream without me knowing" I said to myself in between the kiss.He lifts me up and deepens his kiss with a strong hold on me" I love you Stella" he gasps in between his beautiful kiss as his hands were tracing themselves to the hidden restrictedpart of my body.I push his hands away and I held them."I don't want to do this," I said to him and he looks into my eyes with so much beauty in his sight."Okay, can we go now?" He asked."Yeah, let us go," I said to him as we walked back towards the car and afterward drove off.The question that still runs in my head is why did I kiss him back? why did I let him kiss me? all this question were burning into my mind as he drove off.Soon afterward we had reached my house, It was alrea
-Stella-He Jumped up from me, that must be your dad" he says to me about to freak out,"No way... My dad does not come home by this time, except" I said to him pausing in my sentence,"Except what?" he asked me in a heist," except it is my mum, she told my dad she was going to come," I said to him biting my lips,"Wait, so you knew your mum might come or not but you still let me into your house... How smart?" he said to me scratching through his hair,"You are indirectly calling me dump... Are You?" I asked him,"No love, you were supposed to have avoided all this, you know this could make your mum feel less comfortable," he said to me standing,"I don't care what she thinks" I replied to him standing up as well,"just stay here, let me go check it out," I said to him as I wore my silk gown and I walked
-Stella-"Mum..." she looks at us with shock all over her, she did not expect to see me smooching with a guy.I guess she thinks poor of me now, I release myself from Terrys hold."This is my boyfriend," I said."Oh well, I don't believe your dad would let you have a boyfriend immediately you turned eighteen years old," Lucy says to me."I think your dad needs to come upstairs, so I could set things straight," she says to me as she raised her phone up about to call my dad."Wait... Okay, I haven't told dad yet," I said to her."What? you haven't told your dad, you now have a boyfriend?" she says in her hot motherly posture."Yes, I haven't, could you just stop acting like you care about me... When we both know clearly that you don't.""Okay... Ouch." Lucy says in between and then conti
-Stella-I rushed downstairs and I see someone I do not want to see.My own dad with Terry's car keys on his hands."So dad, that belongs to me" I say to him."When did you start having car keys?" He asked me with his face a bit worried."Dad, my girlfriend left them with me," I said to him obviously lying to him."well, you do not have a girlfriend, and I know this because you have never had friends... Because of your rich personality," he says, rolling his eyes."Just return this keys to whoever owns them, okay, don't get yourself into trouble just so that you can feel powerful," he says to me as he stretches his hands out for me to take the keys from him.I collected the keys and waited for him to go back into his room... When he was now totally gone.I walked out from the mansion towards where
"Elvis" I called out in shock.He looks at me and stretched his hand to hold me, I lean backyards about to shut the door... But then he uses his hands to place in between the door."What do you want from me?" I ask him as I tried to force his hand out so that I could lock the door."We need to talk Stella, all is not as it seems to be," he says to me sounding emotional."I have had enough of today, I am so tired... For the past three days, I have been going through a lot," I said to him."I'm in trouble Stella, you have got to help me out" he says to me."Well you can keep that trouble to yourself alone because you are no longer my friend from today onwards," I said to him with tears already in my eyes."Your friend told me that she had evidence concerning my dad and that the evidence she has could send my dad to prison." He says.
Anu and Rona had long done their convocation.Timi and I were no longer together, he cheated on me.It seemed his play boy nature came crawling back.I thought I could manage, I mean, some years ago, I always told myself that if my boyfriend cheats on me, I wouldn't break up with him but please, it's easier said than done.I focused on school's work, this was my final year, I wouldn't let a man make me mess up in school.I continued my going to club, hanging out with different guys.....dating different guys actually.It was like my old self had come back.Though it wasn't entirely as before when I was always being mean to people, I just resumed being my old social self.Life was better without Timi.-Convocation without Timi.He's just
"Olivia, Jennifer" I called out.We walked into the room, nobody was there, Aisha entered the bathroom."oh my......" She screamed.Debra and I rushed into the bathroom"Jesus""oh my God" .Timi came towards us"what happened?"We didn't need to answer because he could see Olivia on the floor, blood all over."this is what I was talking about. This was what I meant by a dangerous game....... Is she dead?"Aisha cried.Debra bent to feel her pulse and all" I don't know... I c-can't tell" it looked like she was terribly scared.Her expression seemed blank and the last time Debra had a face like this, she awfully cried her eyes out that day , that was like years ago, the last time I saw her cry: the first time her mom disowned her.But I doubted if she would actually
"I didn't expect you'd come" I tell Timi."I'll assume Cora told her boyfriend about today and you people na decided to come and why on Earth would you guys wear an agbada to an orphanage"Aisha sighed.Yeah, they were both on this blue 'agbadas' looking as fresh as ever.Timi explained"no we didn't wear it to go with you guys, we are actually going to a colleague's wedding, we just came to drop some few things""you both look silly" Aisha rolled her eyes. It seems she had her monthly visitor because she was always with the attitude whenever she's on it."what things?" Debra asked Timi. Before he could answer, she walked over to their car, looked in it."A fine big bag, a carton of indomie, some other fine bags and ohh, a bag of rice" She called out.We turned to the guys to give an explanati
"Yeah" I buried myself in his arms."Hey Rona" She smiled at me."Guy, I hope you both had fun?" Timi asked as he placed his hand on Jude's shoulder. His Eternite
"If anything happens, blame it on yourself and besides you said you'd go drop me off?" I asked."yeah, we'll go back to our place now, get dressed and I'll take you to whatever cinema and when you’re done, I'll come with Rona to pick you off and then take you back to hostel" he smiled."you are creepy" I say to him.He and Emeka gave themselves slapping handshakes laughing.We got back to Emeka's place, I went to wear something simple, no need to stress it, I had no intention of impressing Jude.Coming out, Emeka nodded at me in admiration but Timi frowned and asked me to go change the dress."the clothe is okay na, it's a fine dress" Emeka said."yeah, that's the problem, it's too fine and she's a fine girl... You suppose understand guy.... Sweetie, please wear something longer or anything"Chapter 152
" Dude, have you forgotten? I d-don't smoke " Timi instantly say to him."Ohh, true... yeah yeah, I forgot, my bad " his friend quickly answered.I had seen Timi smoke some couple of times.Well, many of my friends did smoke.The girls and I have all tried it several times, my elder brother Daniel once caught us and was really mad at us. He made us wash all the cars in our compound.We decided it wasn't good for us and we vowed never to do it again.I remember the time I saw Timi smoking and I gave him serious warning to stop it.Rona came into the living room, beret on her head."You all are still up? I just came here to get water from the fridge "She got her water and came to sit with us.We all become awkwardly quiet."Wow Timi, you can really make hair " sh
" because shouting is all you need to get sense into that head of yours " she fired." you're sick Deb, you need to see a doctor or something! "" no, you are the mentally deranged person here " she pushed her plate away making it break into pieces." What if Olivia has been right all these while, life isn't all about insults and aggression, can't you just take a chill pill and grow up ..... Besides, I don't even know what I did here "" she took Jude, she took Derrick and she's probably aiming at Timi and when she gets him, if you come crying to me, your own don done " she barked." and don't you ever in your life tell me to grow up because you are the one person that really needs to grow up "" whatever " I waved her off. I didn't like fighting with her but she's being stupid." whatever fire you there! " she gave me her five fingers 'waka'
" it's fine Olivia, I have forgiven you " I tell her.I could see Rona's face lit up at the word 'forgiven'." honestly Olivia, I've also missed you and the way things used to be "" me too and that's the reason I came here, I came to put things in order... You've always had a nice heart right from time and I know it wouldn't be hard for you to welcome me back but you see Aisha... Not even Aisha, Deborah in particular ehn " she laughed" calling her Deborah is even a crime " I joined her laughing." I know right " even Anu and Rona giggled.We were quiet for a while." remember that time your mom gave you custard to school? " she smirked.She didn't even need to say much, I almost fell down laughing." what happened to your custard? " Rona asked unamused.<
" oga chill, don't transfer aggression on me, we all know you are pained because Benita dumped you for Timi.... You sef, it's because you are not trying hard for her " she munched." please and please, it would be nice if you'll shut up"no honestly, it's obvious you still love her and as you're seeing me, I'm badly in love with Timi " she smirked" what exactly is your problem, look at you pregnant but still talking about loving another guy... Are you like psycho or something? " I yelled" so falling in love makes one psycho? Check again!
