Brian woke up in the early hours. He glanced down at his wristwatch, it was a few minutes past five. He wanted to wake his friend up and then he remembered the last warning he gave him before going to bed. He bathed, put on his clothes, and took his box of weed outside. He wrapped some weeds and began to smoke. Warlick came out of the room, adjusting his trousers. His head was still wet. Brian smiled and stood up immediately. It was almost five-thirty. "Before we leave, I want to know why you don't want to pay her a visit since you know where she lives. "I told you yesterday; I don't want her to hate me." Brian said. His friend continued standing. "Warlick, let's go." "You haven't said anything," Warlick said sitting on the pavement. Brian sat beside him. "Her new boyfriend knows what I did to her elder sister, and he would not hesitate to tell her everything." "Her sister was a student at this school?" Warlick asked. Brian nodded his head slowly. "Who is she and wh
The next day, Brian woke up early and stood at the window, waiting for Gabrielle. He was yet to dress up for work. His friend slept in his girlfriend's lodge, so he was all alone fantasizing about a beautiful future with Gabrielle. He frowned when he saw Mike walking towards Anarchy lodge. He knew where he was going. After some minutes, Gabrielle and Mike came out again, holding each other. Brian kept smiling as he stared at her. When they had gone out of sight, he felt like coming out of the room to see her more. Mike and Gabrielle parted ways when they got to the school block. Gabrielle headed towards Hall B for her General studies. Agatha had already secured a comfortable space for both of them. She waved at Gabrielle when she saw her approaching the hall. Gabrielle grinned and began to walk in her direction. "Hi, Aga," Gabrielle smirked before sitting on the chair. She was surprised her friend was not smiling. "Babe, what's up?" She asked. "Honestly, I don't like what
"Hei, Mike," G-boy called, running towards him. Mike halted and waited for him. "How far buddy?" Mike asked with a handshake. "I see you have finally got the girl. Anyway, I trust you. You are the 'ladies' man'. G-boy teased looking at Gabrielle that took another direction. Mike grinned. "To be honest with you, I love this girl like hell!" "How about Jane, what are you going to do to her?" G-boy asked. "G-boy, I trust you, please do not share this information with anyone. Jane has spies everywhere and I don't want her to harm the girl." "You have my words buddy, so what is going on?" G-boy asked. "I want to marry that girl and I must stop at nothing. I'm ready to ruin the career of anyone that would come in between us, not even her best friend." "Easy buddy, it hasn't come to that yet. Don't ruin anyone's career, please. What are you going to do to Jane now you have gotten this one?" G-boy asked. "Nothing, I need her until I get a job to take care of the only girl I ha
Mike waited behind after the evening game. He wanted to see Brian and issue his last warning before going down to his lodge. He walked into a store that was close to the shelter at the bus stop. Mike checked his wristwatch, it was almost 8:PM but there was no sign of Brian. Just as he was about to go, he saw him shaking hands with his friends. Mike quickly ran to him and pushed him. Brian staggered and turned. He was surprised. His friends were surprised too. "Dateless love!" Mike yelled at him. "This is your last warning. Stay off, my woman! I swear to God, I'm going to make sure you disappear from this state if I ever see you close to her again. Try me and see!" Mike yelled. Brian's friends were surprised he just stood there staring at Mike. He did not attempt to fight back. Mike took a few steps backward as he continued pointing at him. "Dateless love?" One of Brian's friends said and his friends laughed at him. Brian sighed and sat with his friends. "The name is quite g
Gabrielle is in love Gabrielle stood in front of the New Jerusalem lodge, waiting for Mike. She did not know Brian was behind her, staring at her through the window. "Good morning," Amanda, the caretaker's daughter, greeted Warlick who was sitting on a long chair that was in front of the lodge, staring at Gabrielle. Warlick beckoned the young girl and whispered into her ear. She grinned and began to walk toward Gabrielle. "Good morning, auntie." Gabrielle turned and smiled when she saw a young girl offering her shy smile. "Uncle Manga wants to see you," she said in a lower tone. Gabrielle's eyes widened. She looked around but did not see Brian anywhere. "Where is he?" She asked. "Come with me." Gabrielle walked behind Amanda as she led her to the room where Brian was. Brian quickly hid behind the door when she saw them coming towards the room. She wondered what Amanda told Gabrielle. The young girl pointed at a flowered curtain. Gabrielle grinned and walked into the
A call came in on Gabrielle's new phone. The phone was a birthday gift from Mike. She quickly accepted the incoming call immediately. "Gabrielle, where are you?" A male voice screamed on the phone. Gabrielle quickly stood up. "I'm in the school," she responded panting as though she ran a marathon. "Mike and Manga got into a fight and …..and…." "And what!! Gabrielle screamed, putting her hand on her chest. "Mike is unconscious! We are on our way to the hospital." "Which hospital!" "General Hospital," the voice replied. Gabrielle took her books and walked swiftly away, wiping tears off her eyes as she ran towards the second gate. Her friend ran after her. They ran into the hospital's reception and were directed to the accident and emergency unit. Gabrielle could not believe her eyes. She kept wiping tears that flew down her cheeks. "What happened?" She asked G-boy who stood behind the bed, staring at Mike who was breathing with the aid of oxygen. "He simply asked him a
Brian did not return to the school again after the incident. His absence devastated Gabrielle and she did not know why. The longing to see him became strong and difficult to control. Soon it began to show in her attitude towards Mike. She left the basketball and volleyball team Mike put her in with a silly excuse. Agatha, her best friend, knew why she was acting strangely lately. Gabrielle hoped to see him one day, but he never returned. Since Gabrielle had been acting strangely lately, Mike decided to wed and impregnate her since she will be graduating in a few months. They commenced marriage preparations immediately. Mike had no money for the wedding, so he applied for a loan from the bank. The loan was approved within a short time. Gabrielle's father insisted on performing the traditional marriage rites before the wedding, however, Mike chose to wed Gabrielle first before proceeding to her hometown for the traditional marriage rites. Gabrielle and Mike hired the best wedding
"I don't want them to strip you before my friends," Gabrielle said, leaning on his chest. "Don't worry, everything will be alright. I don't think they would ask me to strip before your friends. Relax, let's enjoy ourselves. I'm glad yours is over. I'm not worried about mine, I can handle it," Mike said, giving her a gap toothed grin. They walked back to the hall and sat on their chairs as the dance continued. "Game number two: 'let's get him out of his clothes,' Parker announced. He turned and gestured Mike to the chair at the center of the hall. He patted Gabrielle's shoulder gently and walked to the chair. Mike sat on the chair and crossed his legs. Parker signaled him to stand. He grinned and stood up. Soft music ushered two female strippers in. They danced their way to him. They began to take his clothes off in a sexy way. He was left with his blue boxers. He looked at Parker and made eye contact with a grin. "Wait girls," Parker said. "Tease him, once you see a bulge i
