I tossed and turned as I laid on the comfortable bed. My mind was racing on its own and I was an emotional wreck. I felt heartbroken for no reason.
I didn't take cognisance of the mini fridge in the room and I got out of bed, ignoring my slippers as I walked barefooted into the kitchen, my toes slightly curled at the feeling of the cool tiles against my bare feet had me relaxed than earlier.
"Can't sleep?" A voice startled me as I got to the door of the stairs about to head into the kitchen not too distant.
"Ahh! You startled me." I let out a breath as my heart thumped hardly against my ribcage.
"Your living room looks like something out of a movie." I commented, slightly bedazzled by the blue lights contrasting beautifully with the white paint and the little star-like lights that were lodged above.
Slow music played from the stereo while Casper was sprawled on the couch sporting a tank top and a pa
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." Did something bad happen?" I urged."Nothing much, just a breakup." She shrugged, whipping up the fakest of smiles."Oh shit! This is most probably your first or one of your first few heartbreaks. I'm sorry." I replied and she nodded slowly, obviously not over the shock yet." I think you need this more than I do." I handed her the glass.She was a minor, dabbling in alcohol, but for a good reason. I guess?She sniffed the glass before taking a small sip. Then a bigger one and an even bigger one, definitely not expecting the sweet taste."Don't let the taste fool you dear, it's not fruit juice, a glass could get you high smallie." I said and she downed the full
Two episodes in and I heard her sniffle, my head snapping towards her frame at its highest speed."What's wrong bun?""Jughead loves Betty. I love Bughead." She hiccuped." Do you?" She looked up at me, her eyes welling with tears."Yes, yes, very very much! They're my favorite couple." Her frown morphed into the prettiest toothy grin ever and she opened her arms for a hug.I hugged her back and changed our position. Her body was lodged between mine from the waist down while her head rested on my chest."Cas?" She mumbled."Yeah?""I want more wine...""No more wine.""Please? Just for tonight?" She begged and I didn't have the willpower to refuse." Maybe." I excused myself and got one from the mini fridge with two glasses, setting them on the bedside stool before hiking up the air cond
I'm so stupid!I facepalmed as I arose from Casper's bed, to find the other side empty. He wasn't in bed.I bent over, picking up my clothing from the chair he'd place them. Already folded neatly.Hurriedly walking to my room and shutting the door,I sighed as I stripped yet again and headed for the showers. The bathroom was even as fancy as the house itself.Wrapping the towel around my body, I gave a longing stare at the jacuzzi.I'll be back for you babe. I patted it before exiting the bathroom to get dressed.Should I go?Maybe I should just stay in here?You mean hide in here? My subconscious mocked.Just go! The little voice pushed.Nah!Just go Attracta.It'll be awkward.You'
"Why are you so surprised?" I gave a hard stare." Well for starters,he doesn't just give anyone access to his room, let alone a girl-" my look paused him midway." No offense." He said and I motioned for him to go on." I'm literally the only friend who has ever hung out in his room. Even when he has a girl over, they use the guest rooms." He explained and my blood boiled at the thought of him being with another girl.Calm down firecracker!Why did I feel that way?"You're really something Att." Aziel commented using a nickname and my mind immediately drifted back to Junior,and the rest of the Peters, the other half of my broken heart at Coker Avenue and the whole estate itself.I closed my eyes as I heaved a sigh."Everything okay champ?" Aziel asked and I nodded. I was also done setting the table."I need some air." I sa
After my soak in the jacuzzi, I dried my body and laid on the bed waiting to fall asleep and it still wasn't working out.Well no shit Sherlock!I slid on my slippers and killed the lights before walking out the door. I stopped at Casper's and contemplated going back to my room.As I was about to knock, the door opened up to reveal Casper's face."Please sleep over.""Can I sleep over?"We blurted out at the same time before sharing an awkward smile.I walked in and made myself comfortable on the bed. Now this was it.He did same beside me and let out a breath, both of us staring at the ceiling."SP can I tell you about something?""Sure." I opened my eyes." I heard your NECO revision starts soon and you have to go back to school." He said and my mood dampened.Would I
We'd just gotten out of the cinema after watching the 'Little' movie. It was fun to me but a tad bit lame to them and I couldn't care less, it was my birthday, not theirs. My day, my choices.Cas was speeding down the highway, we were on our way to Quilox in the sexy range brand while Zizi typed away furiously at his laptop from the back seat. The car's windows were tinted and it was about nine pm.And then it occurred to me.I'd picked up an orphanage flier I'd gotten from the mall, I was going to give a birthday donation to them.I'd taken out fifty of the hundred thousand Naira loverboy had given me for the hotel stay.What if I hadn't met Cas? Would I be homeless now?"Cas could you stop at that POS vendor please?" I asked and he shook his head."Why?" I almost yelled.
My heart thumped against my ribcage as Cas drove through the gates of Belleview. He alighted from the car to sign in before taking his position in the car. He zoomed straight to the parking lot."What time is it?" I inquired."12:34." He replied."Lunch is over." I mumbled, thankful."Alrighty let's see Mrs Laura first." He informed me and we walked straight to her office.***"So ma, this is a restraining order stamped by the court as regards these students." Casper spoke professionally."Mr…""Just Casper is fine." He smiled." I'm quite confused sir,you're not the guardian from Attracta's past records in this reputable institution." She informed us." Yes, that's true but now these documents stipulate that I'm her legal guardian." He handed her the
It'd been over a week of living here and I definitely have no complaints or regrets except the fact that they both don't let me have peace.I'd been crashing in my room and in Cas's sometimes. There'd been no funny business before us.Zizi occasionally stayed over but was gone most of the time. The NECO exams were to commence tomorrow and Cas took the burden of putting a standby driver on ground for me.I didn't want to relate with anyone from school, he'd bring me home immediately I stepped out of the exam hall, took me whenever I wanted to go and brought me back home.I had two exams in one day they'd chilling in the car until it was time to go back in.Ruby didn't sit behind me as usual due to the restraining order and I was thankful for it. I was happy she didn't know I lived with Casper.***
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
