CHAPTER 21✍️ I just nodded my head like he could see me, till I voiced out an answer. “Yes, of course. You can come pick me up at the house tomorrow.”I heard him sigh as he replied with a simple answer. “Okay, I’ll pick you up then tomorrow.”Immediately he hung up the phone, I squealed out throwing myself on my bed giggling to like a kid. I felt happy. I had never felt this happy in a long time.Finally, I could go out with such a handsome, hot, man. Who I know was clearly interested in me. I couldn’t wait to dress and…….A thought crossed my mind just as I made mention of the dress. I didn’t know what to wear. In-fact I didn’t have anything to wear. All the clothes in my closet were old and annoying.I wanted something more arousing and seductive. Wait a minute, I think I’ve an idea. I’ll probably get it done tomorrow while she’s out.I was finally able to catch some sleep after having different lovely thoughts run through my mind the whole night.Starr’s P
Chapter 22✍️I was caught, Not by Lizzy, Tania, or any of my close friend, but a man I didn’t think would ever find me in bed with another man, cause I told him days ago that I was single.I was just caught in bed not with a random stranger, but one who everyone knows was my best friend.I felt speechless as I stared at his shocked face, while his mouth was slightly open. The expression on his face was very priceless. I couldn’t point what exactly he felt. Was is anger? “No,” I thought to myself. “Yes, it was definitely jealousy.”He had that look of jealousy plastered on his face. I quickly pushed Kay off of me, grabbed the duvet and looked back at Seven.He cleared his throat before curtly speaking up. “I’m sorry I barged into the wrong room, but I thought this was Ella’s room.” Immediately I heard Ella’s name roll out of his mouth, I couldn’t help but think what he wanted from Ella by this time of the night. Yes, it was past 7pm.I also cleared my throat an
CHAPTER 23✍️No, no, I murmured and ran out of my room…….I ran as fast as my legs could carry me to Ella’s room, as I still prayed inwardly that the dress she wore should not be mine.I got to the front of her room door and pushed it open. I didn’t bother to knock.She was walking out of her bathroom when I got into her room. She didn’t look surprised. it was more like she was expecting me.She smiled, and I irked my eyebrows at her and asked her the question I came here to ask her. “Did you take my dress?” But she acted oblivious to the whole thing. She turned to face me directly and smirked before she answered.“What dress?” She asked, squinting her eyes, and that got me even more angry.“Don’t play smart with me and answer the fucking question. Did you take my black dress?” I asked again, but this time my voice was laced with anger.“Oh, that dress I wore to the dinner with Seven? The one you saw me on yesterday? It’s where it’s supposed to be, in the thrash c
chapter 24✍️So basically I had a boyfriend. I watched Seven come closer, he looked surprised as he stared at me before he came close and greeted Gab with a handshake.He also greeted Lizzy and came closer to me like he wanted to greet me, but as I opened my mouth to say something but he passed me without sparing me a glance.I felt a huge blow hit me. I leaned back and rested my whole body on the arm of his couch. Lizzy looked at me with pity and gab chuckled.I wanted to leave, but I didn’t want coming here to be in fruitless, I had to stay and talk to him.Few minutes later, he came downstairs with a short and loosed black T-shirt. He really looked hot, but I didn’t let myself stare too much cause I didn’t want to be tagged as creepy.They all spoke freely and laughed while I sat there watching them cause I wasn’t free and honestly I didn’t know what to say.My phone has been ringing, but I had been declining it. I didn’t want Kay to find out I was here in
chapter 25✍️“Do you think he can make you orgasm like I would do without no stress? Do you think he can fuck you like I would?” Immediately that rolled out of his mouth, I swallowed my spit before it’d choke me, but he continued.He brought his lips close to my ears as he spoke directly into it, my legs wiggled but I didn’t want to show it, “Oh, beautiful, you don’t want to imagine what I can do to you.He kissed the nape of my neck gently and this time I moved my hands to his arm to stop him, but he wouldn’t bulge. Next, he sucked deeply in my neck, I didn’t want what he was doing , but I couldn’t deny that I liked it. I did all I could to suppress the moan that was choking my throat.He kissed it one more time, and spoke, “But I can imagine my fingers working down there, and you screaming out my name.” Oh, god! I didn’t want to hear anymore so I tried shoving his hands that were on my waist so I could step out from his broad chest cage and successfully I did.He
Chapter 26✍️ Shit! What explanation would I give to him? I thought to myself. I moved closer to him to hold his hands, and he let me. He just stood there staring at me, probably searching for answers in my eyes. “Kay,” I began as I called out his name, but he was just too quiet, so I continued. “I can explain,” I added. “Exactly, and I’m waiting for it,” he said softly, like someone who wasn’t upset, but I knew he was. I knew it was time to come out plain, but I still contemplated in me if I should say the truth, will he forgive me? “I followed Lizzy to see someone, her boyfriend.” I said, and he responded almost immediately. “So her boyfriend gave you a hickey?” He said, his face straight and rigid. “What? No, no Kay, it wasn’t him.” I replied, stuttering. He raised an eyebrow and said, “Then who did?” He asked, but before I’d reply, he added. “Wait, Starr, please don’t tell me it’s that same guy.” He said, squinting his eyes, and I stopped talking as I stood loo
CHAPTER 27✍️I quickly ran out of his house. The gatekeeper was staring at me. I was sure he was wondering why I had run out like that.I went out of the gate and entered my car. My heart kept on racing. What did I just do? I questioned myself.I shouldn’t have done that. I shouldn’t have kissed him back! I said as I banged my hands on my wheels. Shit!Now he’d think I have fallen for him or something. I murmured to myself and my subconscious mind replied me. “Yes, you’ve fallen for him.” But I replied, shaking my head negatively.I couldn’t imagine doing that, falling in love. I sat there for about 30minutes, reminiscing about the kiss and I wouldn’t deny that it made me feel alive. I felt like a woman again after 2years and some months. And I wouldn’t deny that he made me fucking wet.Snapping out of my review, I started my car and drove home.I got home and opened the door. Ella was in the sitting room, watching a movie. I just moved past her and went up
Chapter 28✍️ I didn’t want to tell her I couldn’t, because this is the same guy I kissed few weeks back and ever since then I had been avoiding him, not taking his calls. And I haven’t been able to get my mind off him. But I had to give her an answer. I nodded my head positively, “Okay, I will if I have the opportunity cause we aren’t full friends, you know that right?” I asked her, but she simply just shook her head and pleaded with me with her eyes. I stopped trying to push it out and responded nodding my head in approval. I was going to speak to him tomorrow on your behalf, and she smiled widely and hugged me, whispering thank you in my ears and I batted my eyes in nervousness. After Ella left, Lizzy came in all happy and I asked her what was it, and she said it was her boyfriend. He got her gifts and took her out on a proper date yesterday. I sat there whilst checking her pictures that were all fine. Lizzy questioned me about how close I and Ella had been for the past two
When he took his eyes away from the sheet and looked at me, I hastily heaved out my sigh and focused at him.“Starr, you’re stressing yourself out.” He began, “it’s a lot of stress. Your hormones shows that you’re gagged with stress.”I impatiently waited for him to continue. “They put you on monthly pills to manage your illness and you, so that you can have space to live freely like a young woman without constantly looking over your shoulders and considering your genetic predisposition it’s bad. But you’re not helping. I sighed out as he rubbed his chin and continued.“I had always emphasized that adequate rest is compulsory. Not for you to debate but to be seen as an order cause you sure have a hormonal imbalance in case you’ve forgotten.” He stopped briefly and continued.“But you don’t take breaks and it isn’t good for you right now.” I swallowed the lump that I’d formed immediately.“Hence, the nose bleeding.” He leaned back and clasp his hands together, “I last told you that you
Sharply, I swiped it off before moving my eyes down to check out the stain on my hand. It was really blood. I was bleeding from my nose.Minutes later, we arrived at my gate and I pulled out the cash in my purse in placed it on his outstretched palm before walking inside.Slowly tapping my feet on the floor, to not wake anyone up, I finally arrived at my room door and pulled it open.Swiftly, I entered and dumped my slippers on the floor in a thud and walked straight to my wide mirror to check out my face.Fleetly, I pulled out a tissue and began wiped it thoroughly, then I heard a knock on my door and I quickly hid it behind my back and twisted to look at the person.It was Tania.She looked at me as she arched her eyes and pulled away her hair that was blocking her eyes. “Are you okay?”Was my fear evident? Were my hands shaking? Did she see me with my half bleeding nose?My voice cracked. “Yeah, I’m good.”She nodded. “We’ve been waiting for you. When I heard the front door, I thou
Seemed like I spent a lot of minutes here that he had to come check on me. My hands were sweaty and my eyes were filled with tears. I staggered back as I dropped the phone back on the bed. She’s pregnant, that’s why he didn’t call. That’s why he has probably not said anything about her.He was looking for the perfect time to tell me. I palmed my face as I let the tears fall. I tried to take a deep breath, but it just seemed like it was difficult.The door was pushed opened as he stepped in, and I spin my back on him, trying to wipe the tears away. It was difficult, so I bit my lips multiple times trying to force it back in.“Baby?” He called out, but I just stood there, bent with my hands relaxing on his desks.He got close as he tried placing his hands on me. I turned and stopped him with my hands.“Don’t.”His eyes flickered as he raised an eyebrow trying to figure it out. “What’s wrong?”“Why don’t you tell me?” I threw back at him that instant.He seemed confused as he shrugged hi
My ear twitched, hoping to hear what I wanted to hear. I heard him take a deep breath before he opened his mouth to speak. “I didn’t Starr, we just met again. I wasn’t lying when I said we haven’t seen in years.”I didn’t know that I’ve been holding up my breath for the long minute until he spoke out.“Okay.” I gave a curt response. The tension in the room suddenly felt better as it fired down.I stood up from the bed and I walked to the window, before I heard him speak again. “How’s your health? How’re you feeling now? Better?”“Yes. I feel better now.”His voice smooth, and guarded. “Okay.” I heard him speaking to someone, so I just kept quiet and waited till he was done. “Are you busy?”“Yes, please can I call you back?” He requested, and I just gave a sharp positive response and ended the call.••••••Days later, Friday.As I step out of the shower and took my gaze to the wall clock, I realized that I’d spent a long time washing my hair and taking a bath. Seven called that he was
I was currently in my room. After that outburst from Jude, I wasn’t feeling comfortable anymore, so I told them that I was going back to my room.Firstly, I went to the kitchen, took my food and a glass of milk before going back to my room.After I finished eating, I dropped the tray on my nightstand, and I snuggled u see the warm blankets, feeling the softness of my bed envelop me. I tried taking a nap, but each time, I bounced back to thinking.Hours later, Lizzy came into my room, so I quickly shut my eyes to pretend like I was sleeping and she snuggled close to me as she placed her hands on my face, caressing it till she spoke.“You know you can’t deceive me, right?” I still kept shut cause I wasn’t ready for her scolding. But she chuckled when I still didn’t make a move, then she went for my nose. She held it and I quickly slapped her hands off and we bursted out in laughter.I gasped out as I spoke, “Do you wanna kill me?” I asked with a smile plastered on my face.She laughed b
I placed my hand on Seven, making him turn his gaze back at me. The room fell awkwardly silent as Kay came closer and asked if I was alright.I responded with a smile as I glanced back at Seven and I saw he was fuming. Clearly, he didn’t like the idea of Kay been this close to me, so he leaned closer and whispered to me that he’d be back. He has to receive a call.He stood up and left, making the atmosphere in the room change. We all started conversing, although Lizzy was a little distant. I knew she wasn’t happy that Seven had to leave because Kay was around.She liked Seven for me. He rounded up our conversation, and it was time for him to leave. So he placed a peck on my cheek the moment Seven walked in.My eyes snapped to the doorway as I saw Seven halt in his step before moving away for Kay to walk out.He didn’t say anything as the nurses came in to inject me with a sleeping dose, so I dozed off, obviously tired from the whole talk.I woke up the next day to see that it was jus
I flickered my eyes away from her back to Lizzy, and I signaled that she should come closer.Immediately she pulled her chair close to me, she rose, and sank onto the bed, as she arched her brows and rubbed my chin.I took my gaze from her back to the Tania, and then back to Lizzy again. But before I’d speak. Tania spoke up and insisted that she wanted to speak to me first.Ella stood up, strolled closer to the window as she no longer felt comfortable, so she spoke up through gritted teeth “You can see that she’s sick, tell her whatever you want to tell her later.”So I quickly took my gaze back to Tania. She drew closer as she fumbled with her fingers. “No, I want to tell her now.” She persisted.I nodded with my eyes squinting around waiting to hear her talk, “What’s it?”Hesitantly, she started off, “I’m sorry Starr. I doubted you so I misunderstood you. But it wasn’t my intention. Please understand me.”Confusion was etched on my face as I furrowed my brows trying to understand he
CHAPTER 60✍️Clamping my mouth tightly as I tried to take in the whole scenario that was displaying. I didn’t know what to do, so quickly, I moved my hands to reach for my handbag. I pulled it onto my lap as I tried to pull out my phone.I got the road that had a U turn, so I swiftly turned my hands towards it as I pulled up into the next lane.My fingers grasped my seat belt as I buckled up, before I dialed Seven’s line as my hands continued shaking in fear and my face soaked in premium tears.God! I was going to die today. Tears continued to roll down my face as I tried to breathe out but my chest tightened.When he picked at the second ring, I shout as I tried to explain to him briefly. “Seven, please help me. My car wouldn’t stop, it just doesn’t want to stop.”Hurriedly, I felt his tensed voice. “I don’t understand, what do you mean?” He asked sharply, and I responded immediately, not giving him a chance to speak again.“Please help me, it wouldn’t stop. My
Chapter 59✍️“Tania?” I asked with my eyes wide open in shock. “What’re you doing?”She seemed to be to in surprise as she saw me, but she quickly straightened her shoulders as she tried to calm her nerves, cleared her throat and gave her response, “I’m sorry, I…. Just didn’t know how to face you. I borrowed your car, so I came to drop off your keys.” She replied, stuttering.I furrowed my brows in confusion as I try to get what she meant by that. “You don’t know how to face me, so you thought it was okay to sneak in? Just because of the keys?”I asked, and she glanced at me before taking her eyes off me back to her fidgeting fingers. “No. It’s because I’ve been acting all strange and I misunderstood you, so I’m sorry.” She concluded and took a step, but halted immediately. “Please, just know it wasn’t my intention to hurt you..” she added.I still arched my eyebrows, still not understanding what all this was about. “T, what’s wrong? What are you saying?” I ask
