The ProtectoR A Truce?
Gone were the days he believed being the center of attention was the best thing ever, which was just a few days ago. it was starting to become a misfortune more than it was a blessing. What if Velma really turned against him, and joined sides with her brother to fight him? But did he have to worry about that? He was a trained fighter, all he did was fight, he didn't have to care, he shouldn't. "Where are we headed?" He asked, putting his thoughts away and embracing the new distraction. He didn't mind. He'd admit he felt good and on top of the world having this kinds of attention. And a silly part of him didn't want it to end."You'll see. It's just something I've been trying to get a while now and I'm finding it difficult. Maybe you can win it for me "What the hell was she talking about?They crossed the library entrance and came out to the main hall when he saw Rose, and she spotted them as well. Her face was blank of expression, even bored, as she came over. "I've been loo
The ProtectoR Queen of the girls
"For real?" Drew said. "Of course. Why would I like her? She's a brat." "Or maybe you're in self-denial.""No I'm not." "Well I don't know for you, but I need her at my party. She is the influence I need for the girls to come in their throngs." Drew said."She ain't the f**king queen of the girls " Nathan scorned. "Why are you being antagonist if you don't care?" The bell rang for recess and the auditorium soon became noisy. "I have to go hand a flyer to her. Are you coming?" He had to focus on his Job now. Which was staying in close proximity and guarding her. So he didn't have a choice. He didn't even want to go to the Cafe now, even though he knew the attention he'd be receiving there. But he felt none of them would be worth it. "Sure. I have to be around her anyway, so I might as well follow through"Drew and Nic surveyed him. "What do you mean ?" And he realized his mistake, almost too late. He had to result to being childish to resolve the situation. "I mean, she was

Rose patted her forehead and came over. "What do you guys think you're doing? Why are you harassing him?" "You know him?" One of them asked, surprised by her intervention. "We just thought he was stalking you or something. Someone suggested--""He's my boyfriend" She said, making both the girls and Nathan open their mouths in surprise. "Oh, sorry.. we're so sorry..we shouldn't have" The girls scampered away in shame. "Thanks " Nathan said, feeling ashamed himself, all of a sudden. Like he was guilty and didn't deserve her coming to his aid. But she didn't respond and made to walk away, and he stepped in front of her. "You can't keep ignoring me forever yunno""I can try" "Oh come on Rose. Give me a break ""Fine" "Fine?" "Yeah, you can have your break " She eyed him. He snorted. "You're really funny yunno.

The ProtectoR A hard shell to crack
Cayden walked round the cold marble tiled living room without his shirts, holding a glass of coffee in his hand. He was still in the duplex provided him by Mr. Khosrow. He had just completed a hectic session of training, and had to pull of his clothes. Apparently, the whole master talk was already getting to his head. He walked around the apartment like a king.But as much he loved the whole luxury, it wasn't his till he accomplished his end of the bargain. So he had a big mission ahead of him.Velma walked in accompanied by another maiden. The maiden she met earlier handed her over to this one. Unlike the first maiden, this one was highly unfriendly, at least that’s what Velma witnessed as the olive-skinned mean looking lady didn’t return her pleasantries. Without even glancing twice at Velma, she went, “I suppose you’re here for Master Cayden, follow me.”They went pass the lobbyway that felt chill, like a natural cooling system had been fitted into the walls, then into the living r
The ProtectoR The Party
***“Didn’t you say you wanted something that’d stand out?” Devin asked Nathan, watching him walk past all clothes he thought were perfect for his outing.Earlier yesterday, Nathan and Devin had pre planned to go get a nice outfit for Nathan to wear at Drew’s party. There were a lot of fashion houses around their hostel but Devin suggested they patronize oneat Hanover Street. It was just some kilometers away.It seemed like Devin was brand influencing the boutique considering how he insisted on them getting the clothes from there.“They are the best around. You're not going to regret it.” He said a couple times on their way.Nathan put on black Tshirt and a wine colored pants. He caught a few images of himself on a mirror beforeleaving. . What Nathan had in mind when he said he wanted an outstanding outfit was a different shade entirely. He wantedsomething different, something unlike him. He had been trying to convince himself that he wasn’t trying hard to impress Rose or even

"Look who showed up,” Drew said, looking at Rose.“I told you I’d be present,” said Rose clinging tightly to Nathan.“Hey girls,” Nathan said referring to both Letha and Velma.“Hi, Nathan.” They replied simultaneously.“What a creative outfit you’ve got on Nathan. I never knew you to be the thoughtful type.” Letha said jokingly, approaching Nathan slowly. “Can I get a hug?” she asked.“Sure,” Nathan said, letting go of Rose. He let his arms open to Letha. She threw herself on him . She fitted tightly between his arms and remained there for a few seconds before letting him go. She stood very close to him, close enough to feel his breath. She held both of his hands, looked up to his face and smiled.“I guess you’re right. I didn’t style myself, Rose did.” Nathan said, turning to Rose. A little grimace formed on Letha’s face. She didn’t react, rather she retreated from Nathan.“Hey, miss Velma,” Nathan said, waving in Velma’s line sight. “Won’t you give me a hug?” He said letting his
The ProtectoR A heartbreaking reveal.
Last night, Nathan arrived at his hostel, tired and frustrated. He tiptoed in as Devin was fast asleep and he didn’t want to disrupt his sleep. Nathan’s mind was hazy so he opted for a good long sleep after he had showered.He woke up to a very sunny day with the aftermaths of a sever headache. Unfortunately, he had to live the day with the headache. He could hear loud bangs in his head. These bangs persisted even untill the afternoon. There was no way in hell he could focus in any class so he stayed away from class. He secluded himself in the school’s library, where it was relatively quiet. And he couldn't feel much pain.Luckily he had escaped everyone, and didn't tell them were he was. And he hoped they wouldn't find him soon enough. But Rose came into the library then, looking as stunning as ever in a red body-con dress and her hair tied into a ponytail. It seemed she had taken extra care on how she looked today. He felt a compulsive desire to explain to her what had happene
The ProtectoR Where Is she?
A cool breeze swept across the school’s field. Nathan stood at the center of the field observing nature. It wasn't of much help but somehow, it took his attention away from his problems. Away from everything.Rose is just a phase. He could get over it.What Mr. Swack had told him was a scar. He didn't think he'd ever get over it.Was he more than just the sum of every high and every low?A soft hand from behind touched his shoulders and he turned. It was Letha. She had spotted him coming to the field. She was the primary source of his problem, but now he had even more complex problems.Letha looked to the ground, guilt and sadness was written all over her.“I can go if you want me to,” Letha said in a thin voice. “But I'd still come back. A hundred times over.”Nathan didn't say a word, rather he turned away.“I'm sorry,” Letha said. “I guess I could have acted better. I let my heart lead instead of my head. Maybe I can't control my emotions, but... I love you.”Nathan stood still
