"Hey munchkin." Cas tapped me awake and I yawned as I opened my eyes to the world.
"Hi." I was weak.
"I made dinner and figured it was about time to wake you up." He said and I nodded.
I trudged to the bathroom like a sleep-dazed zombie for a tinkle.
I grabbed the spare toothbrush before applying toothpaste on it and I brushed my teeth. Cas' bathroom was definitely grand, it was bigger and dare I say, even more sophisticated than mine.
Rinsing out the brush and my mouth, I loathed the already forming headache, I needed some paracetamol.
I rinsed my face too and exited the beautiful bathroom.
I'm coming for you, bigger jacuzzi.
"Munchkin, here's your food. I have to get down to my office, I need to attend to something." He said to me as he tapped furiously on his phone.
" Okay."
" Stay safe baby, the tablet
"That's not equal!" I countered."Then let's get the housekeeper!" He replied defiantly."Nope! We're doing the work today." I refused."The house is huge." He groaned."We aren't doing the whole house na." I said and he urged me to go on."Our rooms are on us by default so I'd do the upstairs corridor and you'd do the downstairs corridor, I get the kitchen and dining area including the mini bar and you'd do the main living room and the porch." I explained to Cas and he didn't groan this time around.Progress."I got the patio ma." Zizi walked in and smiled at me."Zizi!" I attacked him with a hug, easily wrapping my legs around his waist, failing to notice Cas' expression."Hey there munchkin, how're you doing?""I'm fine." I bounced on my feet." Let's get cleaning." Zizi smiled.
The English exam was over about thirty minutes ago and the ss3 students were about to turn the whole school into a ruckus. We were having the sign out exercise on our school uniforms."Senior Attracta!" A few of my juniors squealed as they sighted me rushing towards me with markers in their hands."Let me sign for you." They crowded me like ants on sugar and I let them."My turn." Aisha and I exchanged signatures and so did James, Tj and I."Babes." Ella grinned as she sashayed towards me, a bounce in her step with a marker in hand.We walked together while she said all she had to about the happenings in my absence. Latest updates included how she and Tj got to spend a weekend with her parents and Nuel and all that happened."Are you coming for the after party?" Ella asked."Nope!" I replied point blank." I expected that." She shrugged it off
"Well, isn't this fancy." I commented as we walked into the club. That was the best word to explain it."Zizi should be here anytime soon." Cas was getting used to calling him Zizi."Hey guys." He hollered as he approached us."Munchkin is that you?" His mouth hung open." Zizi." I hugged him." Happy finals munchkin.""Thank you.""Hi." Ruby waved at him awkwardly."Hey." His voice took a calm, collected tone." I'm Aziel." He extended his hand for a shake."Ruby and can I call you Zizi?" She smirked, blushing slightly while Zizi chuckled.Chemistry."Can we go in or are you both just going to keep on with the googly eyes?" Cas teased.We got past security and into the main party itself, the room housed sweaty, buzzed teenagers and a lot of foreign n
Cas and Zizi weren't home but I couldn't shake off that feeling that I wasn't the only soul present in this house. It didn't feel right.I lazily dragged myself out of bed and I turned the keys, hearing the satisfying click of the door unlocking before turning the knob and standing in the corridor. It was about 6am.Not up here.I groaned slowly as I descended the stairs, being down here was a burst of fresh air even though I'd never admit it. I hadn't even had a bath in days, I just spent my time wallowing in sadness, crying and lately, pain-sketching.I looked in the kitchen, no one, living room, no one and other corridor too, no one.Till she walked through the doors."Good morning." She smiled."Who the hell are you and who the fuck are you looking for?""I'm looking for Casper." She read the name off the sticky note in her pos
It was Nuel."Hi...happy graduation." I said as plainly as I could, giving him a mean staredown."Same to you.""See you around champ.""Attracta wait!""Any problem?""Can I talk to you?""Not till pigs fly bruh!" I sassed, strutting away.Man was I loving this look.I winked at Cas a few metres away and he flashed his whites. I could see Ruby and Zizi and their googly eyes.I took a few pictures with friends and juniors too. My phone vibrated and I ignored it, my data connection was turned on the whole day, it was probably just reactions to the pictures I uploaded.It vibrated three more times in a row. I swiped to view the cause, they were four texts from Ella and I clicked immediately.Where are you, can you come to the old fine art studio?!
"Next up, Mahe Island!" Cas cheered as we boarded the small plane -or jet.There were only two crew members aboard with us, the pilot and the hostess. The aircraft was quaint and comfortable, it was my first time boarding one in quite a long time and the feeling was unexplainable.We got settled in and I took a window seat while Cas sat right opposite me, taking another window seat. The other seats at our side and the other side of the plane were empty."When would we eventually leave?""Right about now darling, I'm done with the call. I'd alert him." He explained to me before walking towards the pilot.A few minutes later, my seat belt was fastened and we were ready for takeoff. My heart thumped against my ribcage as I experienced the euphoria before the plane balance in the air.Cas moved to the seat by my side."Thank you." I put my head on his shoulder.
"Here's your room, have a good morning." We got our room and she gave a slight bow before leaving."Thank you." I mumbled, extremely tired.Cas and I walked into the beautiful room adorned with fancy decor and a large bed. It was slightly bigger than Cas' huge bed back home."Oh damn!""What's wrong?""I didn't get to pack anything." I facepalmed." You mean luggage?" He asked and I rolled my eyes as he walked towards the wardrobe."They're right here." He motioned to the opened wardrobe and I frowned, walking over." How the hell?" I was shocked, those were my actual stuff from home."Got a little help from an angel." He grinned, I rolled my eyes in response." I'm tired." I yawned, dimming the lights before getting out of my dress and bra. I advanced towards the door and I locked it properly before ret
Casper's POV"You okay?" I asked, worry evident on my face."Y-Yeah I'm fine." She rushed out, her face so pale it looked like she'd seen a ghost.
Epilogue "Mantis..." Scorpion said as the recipient picked up the call. "My boss." Mantis, whose legal name was Akachukwu, replied. "One of your guys is passing his boundary and if he's not careful, one spanner lost." Lawrence threatened. "Who? How?" "He's threatening my sister and saying all sort of things." "Who is giving him the liver?" Aka asked. "I don't care. I traced him and I needed you to ask him who he's working for before I tell you any further." "Yes, boss. His na
The D-day was here, it’s Valentine's Day, the day I'd been anxiously waiting and yearning for. I woke up feeling nervous. Nothing must go wrong. By break time, our plan was set to go into motion. I can't wait to ruin them both. I just hoped this plan wasn't too sinister. I walked down to the math lab, that was were the ss2 were having our gift exchange. In a normal setting, we were supposed to receive them as surprise gifts but teachers claimed we would be distracted the whole day. Wasn't the suspense more distracting? I met with Nuel in the math lab, I sat beside him as he pecked my cheek. We were getting more comfortable with each other ever since the day we kissed at his house. For a few days, I'd been suppressing the urge to visit, I remember saying I wanted to take things slow, I couldn't go back on my word. "Baby, I don't think we can go on with plan A to

"Attracta that was-" "Needed." She interrupted. "Yes!" Yetty agreed. "Really?" "Yes, I saw the whole thing. He deserved it." "I'm glad you agree with me." "Why not?" Yetty grinned. "Where are we headed?" "Lunch. My treat this time around." "Aye, Aye captain!" Attracta chuckled. "She'
It was the third year, finally. Time was flying by fast and it was quite scary no matter how relieving the thought of it was. The holidays were too much fun for them, every minute of it was enjoyed. Dennis and Yetty's relationship was waxing stronger by the day. She'd been speaking to his mum for a short while and it was obvious they both loved each other. Attracta was still the lone wolf, single as ever and she seemed fine with the lifestyle. "You're trying to tell me you're not the tad bit interested in a relationship." Yetty asked as they laid up in the living room, chatting. She was laid on the couch while Attracta was sprawled over her favorite bean bag. "Nope!" She sucked on her lollipop. "Not th
"That was epic!" She threw her head back in laughter, super proud of Casper. "Yeah?" He blushed. "Yeah!" She embraced her, bouncing on her heels out of excitement. "You were walking out and he was like Mr Casper, we can settle this." She mocked, in a voice that imitated the Dean. "He looked so petrified." She released another bout of laughter. "You should've seen his eyes when I mentioned the ransom." Cas laughed. "He probably didn't expect me to collect hush money." She laughed. "He didn't see it coming." He threw his head b
Attracta has been skipping GST 201 classes and Yetty had been filling in for her but she couldn't avoid it today, she had to fill in for them both, Yetty was feeling a bit under the weather. She cringed at the thought of going. The lecturer had called her attention twice, professing feelings for her. She sighed as she walked into the lecture hall. A ton of boring words later, the class was over and she tried to leave as stealthily as she could. She'd almost excelled at it till Dipo almost accidentally tripped her. He caught her just in time but it was enough ruckus to draw the attention of Mr Rufus who was almost out of the door. "Peters." He referred to her by her last name. "Good afternoon sir.
Second year of uni started briskly and all the gist was about last semester's results. "Attracta, honestly can't wait to see the results. I'm super anxious." Yetty said as she sat next to her. Attracta who's had enough snapped immediately. "Shut up Yetty!" Yetty was taken aback by her outburst but being the mature, understanding and sensitive soul she was,she didn't dwell on the volume, instead the source was what caught her attention. "Look, I'm -" "Are you okay?" She asked tenderly. "Yeah, what do you mean?" She mumbled. "Something's up with you." She pointed out.  
Downstairs, the party was in full swing while Dennis and Yetty made out in his room. He threw her dress over her head, she was clad in only a thong. His pupils darkened as he stared at her breasts, taking a nipple into his mouth as he caressed the other with his hands, kneading gently. A soft moan escaped Yetty’s lips as the sensation made her skin dance. “Yetty. Should. We. Stop?” He asked in between kisses. “Hell no.” She huffed. Yetty was a virgin and he was aware but tonight she was breaking all restraints. “All the way?” He paused to ask her. “Yeah.” She said in a dazed state. “Are
