“Gather around guys! I see you all have met our newest addition?.” Corey said as he called out to the members of the group.“Yes!”, most of them replied.“He’s hot too!”, A girl shouted from behind and sent a flirtatious wink to Josh who was standing with Corey. Josh was visibly embarrassed as he heard this. He put on a straight face and pretended like he had heard nothing.Corey, on the other hand, had expected this situation. He frowned and issued a strict instruction. “Okay. Here’s how this is gonna play out. You are a mature group, we know better than to make Josh feel uncomfortable and ..bail out on us.” he added the last words in a whisper but it was loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. That lightened up the atmosphere and all the dancers laughed including Josh.Corey smiled then continued, “It's less than a day to performance and we have to perfect our moves e and make all the right arrangements, especially with providing adequate help to Josh make up for TJ’s parts.”
“We don’t have all the time in the world to practice Clara. We have to join the others soon...quit playing around and let’s get to work..”Josh said pissed off at Chloe’s silly attempts to seduce him. Girls like this were the ones he hated associating with the most. Like the lady in front of him.. shameless, wearing thick makeup and very skimpy wear. She had been putting on joggers when he entered, he wondered when she switched them for a skirt that looked short enough to be an underwear.Hearing his obvious attempt to irk her by pretending to forget her name, Chloe’s eyes squinted. “My name is Chloe Love, not Clara,” She said and moved even closer to him. A girl’s got to try. You don’t get a good chance like this every day. For once, Corey’s arrangement benefited her and Chloe planned to make the most of this opportunity. But this guy was different from the type of men she was used to. He was the difficult type and she knew she had to take it easy on him. “Too bad though..”, she mut
When Lola opened the door, she was surprised to see the manly figure standing outside with some bags in his hands. He had a playful smile on his face as he stared back at her. “It’s good to see you again, Lola.” “James?”, Lola called out as she stared at the familiar face in surprise.“Are you surprised to see me?”, James asked, his lips curling up by the side.“No.. oh yeah. Mum has been expecting you and Petra.” Lola answered a little absent-mindedly.” Are you here alone?”...“No. Mom will be right up. Forgot her phone in the car..”Lola glanced at his hands and regained her manners. “Oh, forgive me. Please come in.” She said and opened the door wide enough for him to pass through with the bags in his hand. James walked past her and just as the door was about to close, it was held back and Mrs Andrew’s round face came into view. “Hold up.. coming through!”Petra was plump and had a cheerful demeanor. “Oh, dear. Is that you Lola?. You look so big now, come here!.”, She smiled wide
Friday Evening, The Performance Day.Rosewood, New York.Rosewoods Dance Theater. All major dance agencies in and out of Rosewoods and all over New York were present. Every year, the hip-hop departments of many dance agencies came together to perform on stage as a form of truce. It was simply termed a “performance”.. but deep down, in the hearts of everyone present, they all knew it was a “competition”. It was no news that this was the debut stage for the top dancers in the industry. It was therefore a presentation of complicated routines, a show of talents and nerve-cracking creativity to show which agency has what it takes to be the undefeated king of hip hop. There were only two rules, one was for each dance group to be complete with not more or less than ten group members, and two was for a peaceful performance. There must be no incidence of fight between members of the dance groups as their respective agencies would be banned from any performances at the dance theater in the f
The event photographers were active and the Fame Hall group was still taking photographs. Lola’s nervousness continued to remain present. She needed a space that wasn’t crowded to calm down before the big performance. After the first round of group pictures was taken, Lola asked to be excused from the group to retire to the dressing room first and Corey reluctantly agreed. Aria did not want Lola to feel lonely and decided to go ahead with her friend after getting permission too. Together, the two girls walked away from the photo area and headed towards the theatre. Inside, Lola was taken aback by the crowd. It was her first time stepping into the theatre as she had always only viewed it from afar, on National TV every year.Aria on the other hand has been there once but as a spectator, not a dancer. The audience was already filling in the seats, waiting expectantly for the show to begin. The auditorium was huge but luckily Lola recognized some of the junior trainees from the agen
“Chloe said I have been seducing and forcing myself on you Josh. Is this true?”Josh looked at Chloe. What was the bitch up to this time? Chloe panicked as she met his gaze. She anxiously tried to keep an innocent face on. After all, she had a good reason to be scared. Thinking about how brazenly she had behaved with him when they were alone in the practice room yesterday, she broke out in a cold sweat, desperately hoping that Josh would cover up for her. Toria and Vivi stood in front of Chloe in a protective stance unaware of the turmoil rapidly building up behind.They knew that Chloe had spent some time alone with Josh yesterday, but what the girls didn’t know was that Chloe’s plan had failed .. woefully.Recalling their past experiences with how Chloe always got the guys she wanted, they naturally assumed that she got this one too. Therefore as they looked at Lola and Aria, their eyes glinted with smugness. How dare they try to involve Chloe’s man? Was Lola really that dumb? Let
“Fame Hall..It’s time!“ The stage manager appeared at the entrance of the dressing room. This time with two more people behind him.The group members were ready. They all clasped their hands together as Corey assumed the center of their circle. They had gotten rid of the thumb pins in the boots.. but Corey collected them for evidence. The group members stared at each other. With a wounded member, no one was expecting much from this performance.Corey on the other hand still gave a prep talk.“Well....this is it…what we all have been training for. This past month had been truly amazing….”Corey looked towards Lola and smiled at her. This was the first time the man ever smiled at her. Lola smiled back and gave a nod to show for him to go on.“So forget the circumstances.” Corey continued. “We are Fame Hall Dancers. We give it our all!.. Show 'em what we’ve got!.”Funnily some members still sniffled, but no one dared to cry and let the tears ruin their makeup. “Hands in!”, Corey called
“Wait!”, a soft voice suddenly shouted, making the retreating group halt in their footsteps.They turned back to see the injured girl trying to stand up. “Lola!. You can’t stress your injury!.”Aria who was beside Lola whispered and tried to stop her from moving.The group members who had been stopped from exiting the room stared at Lola in wonderment. Everybody was also confused. Why did Lola ask them to wait?“Please, can you move closer to me?”, Lola asked and pointed at a girl from the group. Corey was impatient already. He wanted to make the event manager fish out the culprits that targeted his group and Lola was delaying the whole process by letting these people stay back and interrupt them. “Is there a problem Lola?”, he asked.“No Corey, I just need to make a confirmation.”, Lola said. Her eyes were fixated on the girl.The BMT girl hesitated and she tensed up. She was the intruder from earlier. She remembered colliding into Lola and Aria but then.. she had changed her outfit
Grandfather Sanchez let out a hearty laughter as he watched the good old Boyd’s family mansion come into view. It was just yesterday when his granddaughter-in-law had put to bed and the joy that came with carrying his great-grandchild in his arms escorted him on this short trip.He had not only gained a great-grandchild but also his father’s prized possession would be returned to him very soon. His prized golf club.The security guards at the mansion’s gate saluted him as the car was allowed to cruise up to the entrance of the mansion where a beautiful old lady waited.“Good day, Old Master Sanchez.” Samantha, Old Boyd’s wife greeted politely.“Samantha.” The old man acknowledged with a slight frown on his face. “Where is your husband?.” He asked with a raised eyebrow.Samantha let out an awkwardly tight smile as she spoke out. “I apologize, Old Boyd is unable to receive any visitor at the moment as he is currently indisposed. But I assure you, I am an excellent host.”“Would you like
It was late into the night when Noah’s eyes gradually opened.His eyelids continued to flutter until they finally adjusted to the lighting in the room. When he tried to turn on his side, his back hurt, and his entire body felt numb so he lay there for a while, unmoving.~Her bed was warm and Lola felt more comfortable as she snuggled against her huge pillow. She remained there until she heard her phone vibrate and her tired eyes reluctantly opened up.“Ah..h!.” Lola jumped off the bed with a scream as she realized that the pillow she had been hugging was a real person. Who would dare?...Noah, who had been pushed off to the edge of the bed groaned at the slight pain her roughness had brought to his still-recovering body.Now widely awake, Lola was in for a double shock as she stared at the person in hospital clothes who she had pushed away. “Noah!!!.” Lola screamed with joy and a rush of excitement overtook her as she jumped back on the bed to return to her husband’s embrace, comple
SEVEN WEEKS LATER,Lola clutched the test results in her hands tightly as she rushed into the hospital’s restroom. Finally, alone, she let the hot tears that she had been holding back stream down freely on her face. She was pregnant, and yet there was no way to tell him that he was going to be a father. Her phone started to ring in her purse and Lola inhaled sharply to clear her voice before she picked up the call. It was Maria. “Mom.” She managed to say in a clear voice. “Honey, you should come home today. Let me take care of you while you get some rest...”“I will be fine, Mom. Trust me. You know I’m a lot stronger than you think.” Lola said, even though her supposed strength was a lie, she refused to be swayed from her responsibility. “Besides I have to be there for when...” she insisted. Maria let out a long sigh at the other end of the line, her daughter was stubborn as always and she wondered who it was that the girl had taken after. Richard.“If you say so.” Maria finally sa
“Step away from her this moment, Nathaniel!.”Andy ordered as he stared at his wife who looked too shaken to utter a word. He could understand what she was going through, after all, he had been present all along to know just how much Nathanial had affected her in the past.“Stay out of this, Father!.” Ash snapped as he ran his hand through his hair frustratedly. “I am not your father, neither is she your mother. We are not related to you in any way whatsoever. Come to your senses, young man!.” Andy clarified angrily.Ash let out a bitter laugh and he withdrew his hands from Ava’s to stand up to his feet. “In the end, it's those two you want right?.” He questioned, referring to Noah and Xena.Their present denial of him was a huge blow to Ash’s ego. He had been prepared to do anything for them. He had been ready to get rid of the children who had replaced him in their life, he had been ready to kill Noah and Xena Sanchez to have his parents back. He had done a lot of bad deeds to come
Infinity Apartments,The Penthouse.“Boss!.” John bowed as he reached Noah amidst the anxious gazes of Grandfather Sanchez, Lola, and Mr. Henry. The men had indeed discovered something, but it would be safer if only Noah learned of it so he leaned in to whisper to Noah, but he was stopped by Noah who shook his head and ordered. “Speak up!.”John glanced in Lola’s direction with a slight hesitation in his gaze. “Boss, I don't think..”An icy glare from Noah shut him up.“Whatever it is, we need to hear it boy!.” Grandfather Sanchez added and Lola and Mr.Henry nodded in agreement. The old man did not like the way the bodyguard was cautious of Lola’s presence either. She was one of them now and the Sanchez family’s women would not be thought of as weaklings! It was a family matter and they all had to think of a solution, together. John swallowed and decided to speak up regardless of how sensitive the matter might be to the young miss.He looked at Noah directly and reported. “The men m
“They’ve been gone for over six hours. The flight takes three. So how is it possible that they are not yet there?.”An eerie silence settled over the room as everyone suddenly turned serious. Even Lola, who had just walked out of the bedroom after hearing the old man’s voice in the living area was forced to keep the formalities aside and listen in on the conversation, quietly.“I had called the resort before all else sir, they are indeed yet to arrive.” Mr. Henry explained. He had only noticed that something was off when the guards that had been arranged to convey the elder Sanchez couple from the airport to the resort where they were to stay had called to inform him that thetwo people they were expecting, were nowhere to be seen. The bodyguards had been waiting at the airport for a long time before they finally reached out.Mr. Henry was also the one to confirm the booking of their stay instead of Grandfather Sanchez, so it had also been easy for him to get the information that he ne
“Lola…” Noah groaned as his wife’s soft hands tortured his member which did not hesitate to betray him by hardening excitedly in the welcome softness of her warm hands. He had not expected that she would touch it…again.“It’s so big,” Lola mumbled and adjusted her hands gently around his throbbing rod which suddenly jerked again in her hands. Even in the dimly lighted room, it was easy to see the veins around his thick manhood, and its cap which glistened with pre-cum only fascinated Lola the more as she rubbed gently on it and went further to move her hands up and down his dick.Noah ran his tongue over his lower lip as he stared down at his little wife completely helpless. Whether drunk and drugged or sober, how is it that she did the same thing? no matter how sloppy her inexperienced hands on his shaft were, did she not know that her simple action could torture him to madness?Noah wrapped his hand around Lola’s and his lips parted slightly as he guided her at the pace that he want
The lights from down the marina’s pathway cast the most beautiful shadow on Noah’s features, making them look sharper and dangerously more charming. His deep eyes trailed appreciatively down Lola’s body and Lola blushed from his hot gaze that suddenly made her feel so self-conscious... It was almost as if the man in front of her could see the whole of her soul with the whole of his eyes. “Why are you looking at me that way?.” Lola finally asked.It was a little windy and the breeze made a lock of her hair blow toward her face. She made to put the strands back in place but Noah was one step ahead of her, as always.He tucked the red lock of hair behind Lola’s ear and let out a helpless sigh as he draped a coat that Lola did not notice he had been holding around her shoulders to prevent her from catching a cold. “It's even more gorgeous than I imagined it would be on you. But of course, your beauty surpasses it…” He responded in a serious tone and Lola could almost swear that she had
The elevator dinged and the Sanchez couple walked to the entrance of the suite where Noah opened the door with their keycard. A porter, who was helping them convey the packages they had returned with from their afternoon outing walked inside first and Lola followed after him. She suddenly stopped, surprised to see that Noah still standing outside, and even after the porter had dropped off their bags and left, he made no moves to come in after her.“Aren’t you coming in?.” she asked. Noah shook his head in the negative as he signaled for Lola to go ahead. “I had something delivered for you. It’s in the living room.”“Read the note first.” He added with a teasing smile.Lola raised her brows and let out a nervous chuckle. “Okay? That's it?.”Noah nodded. He could read from the curious look in her eyes that she wished to know more, but divulging his plans by words was not his way of doing things.~“What are you up to, Noah?.” Lola muttered as she made her way into the living room Just
