ENSNARED BY HIS STRANGE PROPOSAL 143. TAMED BY HER LOVE EPISODE 75
At Hayes' ApartmentIt had been two months since he met Johnny, and he admired him so much. Although, he met Stanley through him, but they have blended as if they had known each other for a long time.“Johnny will soon be a father through Lil Sister,” he mumbled. Little sister was the pet name that he gave to Ruby the day she graciously sat in the front seat of his car after the basket ball game. Although, he was an orphan and a self-made man, who took up the challenges of sponsoring his education by himself. Now, he had graduated and went into livestock farming with his little savings. At that moment, his new company was going through its teething troubles, but he was managing it very well. Likewise, he believed that in a while, he would scale through the hurdles. That evening, after the outing with Johnny, Stanley, and the others, he returned to his one studio flat and meditated on his unsteady relationships.'Why am I not favored in relationships? Do the girls I meet have anything

“It's all right. Hurry so that you won't be late for your lectures,” The VC accepted, and walked briskly to his car while she joined her friends. Meanwhile, she was unaware of the war that was going on in Johnny's mind, but his anger bled into his countenance.“I apologize for keeping you waiting,” she said, and looked at the couple in the back. Then, she gave Johnny a love look, and pleaded, “Don't be mad at me, my Johnny. I apologize.” Johnny returned the love look, but for a different reason. He searched her for any sign of peck or kiss, and he was elated when he found none. Then, he gave her a peck, and turned on his ignition. Thereafter, he inquired, “Are you through with Prof. Farrell?”“No. He is taking me to the estate for the arrangement he made for me,” Ruby pointed out, and omitted that it was from her adoptive parents. Now, Johnny looked at Stanley through the driving mirror, and saw the sad look on his face. To avoid suspicion, Stanley advised, “We should not keep the VC

At that point, she was resting her head on his lap, and facing him. Then, he smiled, and asked, “Why. What is your offense?”“I should have let you know that Prof. Farrell stood in the place of a parent for me.”“I see. It's not your fault. The bickering we had now and then did not allow us to discuss extensively about us.”“I got you. No more bickering. I guess?”“You are right. We should be stable enough to take care of our love baby.”“I love that. Promise me that will you stop emaciating.”Now Johnny showed worries, and asked, “Is it too obvious?”“Not at all. But I wish to see your old self.”“It is okay. I will submit my project tomorrow, and take enough rest.”“That is better,” she accepted, and got up from his lap, and began to adjust her hair, “Take it,” he announced. She turned swiftly, and to her delight, he gave her a hot kiss. Thereafter, he said, “I love you, my Ruby.”“I love you too,” she responded, and he got off the car, walked to the passenger's side and opened the

"We need to return to the hostel,” Carmine, who was interested in Ruby's big gist for her, declared after their meal.Now, Johnny was jumpy, and many negative thoughts ran through his mind, especially Ruby's safety. He looked at her, and she noticed that he was a little uneasy. Then, she consoled, “I will only pick a few things, and come back.”“It is all right,” he responded with relief. Then, he picked his car keys, and tried to get up, but Ruby stopped him.“You need rest, my dear. The multivitamin drugs that you just took will soon take a toll on you.”“Ruby is right. I will take them to the hostel, while you rest,” Stanley made himself available, and Johnny admitted, “If you say, so.”Now, they walked out of the house, and Johnny stood aside and watched them get into Stanley's, car. He waved at them, and watched them drive off. When they were out of sight, he returned to the house. Now, he felt empty, and the idea of getting married at once crossed his mind, and he smiled at the t

"I don't think it's necessary. When they are through, they would give me a call.”“Through with what, if I may ask? She said they would only pick a few things, and come back immediately,” Johnny reminded him, and got up at once. Meanwhile, Stanley was concerned, “Where are you going?” He asked.“To look for them. It is not safe for Ruby to be moving about. She could be attacked, and you know what it means,” Johnny poured out, and walked out of his room. Now, Stanley was frightened by his revelation, so, he gave Carmine a call instantly.“Hello, baby,” she greeted after she picked.“Can I come and pick you, if you are through with what you are doing in the hostel?”“You can come over. We are at Ruby's house in the estate,” Carmine explained without considering the weight of their act on him.At that point, Stanley was distraught. He had not come to terms with the Vice Chancellor arranging for accommodation for Ruby, even if he stood in place of her parents.“Could it be part of the scho

Now, Carmine joined Stanley on the couch, and cheered him up, “Did you sleep at all?”“Yes, I did. After I concluded my project.”“Congratulations. You are already a graduate.”“Thank you. I can't wait to see you graduate, too.”“Yeah. It won't be long,” she proclaimed with confidence. Meanwhile, the janitors were gone, and Ruby and Johnny were still standing. She tried to avoid anything that would lead to bickering, just they resolved in the morning. Then, she decided to pull a stunt, and waited for his reaction, “Kindly sit down,” she said, and fixed her gaze on his expressionless face. Without reacting to her offer, he asked, “Do you still have anything to here?”“Not at all.”“Then, can we leave?”“Certainly,” she accepted and picked up the stuff she brought from the hostel, and looked at him. Nevertheless, he looked at Stanley and Carmine, who were engrossed in their discussions, and informed, “Can we leave, Stan?”“Oh!” Stanley looked up, and exclaimed. He helped Carmine to get,

At that point, he was inwardly worked up, just as he always was, whenever he recalled the fast one that Johnny pulled on him three years ago. The thought of made him to believe that everything seemed to be against him. Although his wife and daughter still lived with him, but they were strangers to one another. Instantly, his thoughts wandered to that ugly day.Three Years Ago.Mr. Fredrickson, a fifty-five-year-old man, was employed by the school a few months before Johnny was admitted into the university. He lived all his life in the remote area of Chidek and was unaware of how the society works. He got the job at Mount City University on the recommendation of the government. The employment was a compensation for being the longest serving lecturer in the local university, had persevered in his career and remained in the Hamlet without social amenities. His employment in the school was the first time he stepped out of the remote area since he was born. He schooled there, and the schoo

“What happened, Princeville? Why did you come back with the scripts?”“Do you want us to have problems with Mr. Fredrickson?”“What is the meaning of this, Princevile?” Without giving him a breathing space, they rolled out the questions one after the other, and he was confused over which question to answer first, that is, if he was willing to answer any.Meanwhile, the look on his face showed that all was not well. Before more questions could come, Mr. MacLeish walked in, and that saved Princeville all the stress.At Johnny's Lecture HallAll the same, Johnny was not lucky. His lecturer was already in the hall. He knew very well not to walk into the hall when Miss Lucy Philip was in the class. It was her policy and the policy of almost all the lecturers. As a freshman year student, who just gained admission into the university, and was yet to get his bearings, he respected himself by allowing his good breeding to come to limelight. Then, he perched by the window to listen to the lect
