AmandaMorning came like every other day that beautiful Friday morning. It was the last day of the school week and I couldn't wait to be done with school that day.I needed to rest, school these past few days have been quite hectic what with the preparations for the debate that will be coming up in a few days. I was the chief speaker, the main moderator who'll bring the school victory and the success of that event lied heavily on my shoulders. I had planned, prepared and now, I'm fully ready.My alarm chose that moment to give a shrill sound, startling me to switch it off. On some days, I did wake up before the alarm and other days, let's just say it saved my life more times than I can count."Another school day." I groaned before rising up to my feet.I needed to start preparing if I didn't want to go late. I was the school's head girl after all and every of my movements would be monitored.Asides the preparations, I couldn't wait to see Parker today. Ever since he asked me out in th
ParkerSchool had already resumed and to say I was happy to be seeing Amanda would be an understatement, I was ecstatic. Ever since I asked her out, there was this noticeable glow around me that my mother even saw. She had asked me times without number what was responsible for it but I just didn't want to tell her quite yet.Our relationship was still very young and I didn't want to announce quite yet until it was strong enough. I knew no one in school knew about it and I loved it that way. Amanda was one girl I didn't want to joke with. She meant so much to me and I knew I'd be the greatest fool if I hurt the love she had for me."Mom, I'm off." I called.As usual, dad had gone out already. He was working really hard to get our family back on track and for that, I would continually be grateful to him. We were better off than how we came at the very beginning and i owed it all to my parents."Hey love. You're off?" Mom asked, walking out of the kitchen.The sweet smell of freshly made
Eric's POV(Amanda's father)"Reservation is all booked sir." a voice said.Eric looked up at the direction of the voice and discovered it was his secretary, Jane who had finished with the reservations at a resort in Romania where he would be spending a week long vacation with his wife. Eric wanted to get everything concerning their travelling done on time as he didn't want any delay in their plans."Thank you Jane, please mail the details to me." Eric said."Right away sir." Jane said.Eric never took no for answer. He always had his way and anyone who thought they could challenge him will only have their self to blame. Asides this, Eric was a drop dead handsome man. His light brown hair which had grown in length over the years was usually tied into a low man bun. When he smiled, his dimple was prominent. He used girls and discarded them easily but when he loved, he loved hard. The only woman he had ever loved was his high school sweetheart and now his wife.Jane left soon to do as s
"Hey darling." Charlotte smiled.Eric had just walked into his apartment to see his wife taking care of things that really didn't need taking care of. She was always so hard working and he vowed within himself to repay her whenever he got the chance That was the only way he could reply her for all the love and devotion she had for him."Hi love, how are you?" He smiled.He drew her closer to him, kissing her lightly. He was addicted to her and it was the best addiction he could ever dream of. She was like a drug he constantly needed to survive, a shield to protect him from all his insecurities."How was work today?" Charlotte asked.She took his Jacket, placing it by the edge of the chair. Charlotte knew something was wrong especially with the way his face seemed to scrunch in concentration and fear. Eric hardly ever let his emotions out in the open but this time, he couldn't hide what was burning him in his heart."Fine... Just stressful." he said vaguely.Eric knew that she saw som
EmilyFlash back to Charlie's birthdayEmily woke up with a smile that fine Saturday morning. The source of her happiness was due to the fact that her boyfriend, Charlie would be celebrating his birthday that day and she was really excited for it.She had everything planned out already, all she needed to do was put the final touches to the preparations and it was guaranteed to be a blast.‘’Can’t wait to see the look on Charlie’s face.’’ Emily murmured.Her afro hair was tousled as a result of the constant tossing and turning she did in the night, Emily hated to admit it but she had nightmares. On some days, she didn’t but on most days, it was terrible. On those bad days, she could barely sleep and found herself wide awake until dawn and for the rest of that day, she was usually in a foul mood.The previous night was a good one for her and she was glad about this because she couldn’t quite imagine herself being grumpy today. It would speak bad of her and this was something that wouldn
'’Lord knows i’m stuffed.’’ Amanda sighed.She had eaten enough food to feed three people. Parker on the other hand had eaten like a lion, devouring everything on his plate. The quiche they had for dinner was very tasty, one of the best Amanda had ever had. Whoever had cooked it, cooked it to perfection and she couldn’t wait to have another taste the moment she got the chance.‘’I’ll like to show you somewhere.’’ Parker said.‘’Hmm where?’’ Amanda asked.She didn’t know where this mysterious place was but whatever it was, she was prepared to go with him. ‘’We’ll be taking a drive to the canyon, on the outskirts of the city.’’ he said.Amanda was excited to hear this. She had heard so much about the canyon and she couldn’t wait to see what it looked like. Parker was happy over her excitement. He was always happy to see her excited and he secretly plotted ways by which he could make her more happy.‘’Thank you Parker. You really don’t know how i’ve been longing to go out.’’ Amanda sai
"Amanda i need to tell you something." Emily said.It was the lunch break, a week later after Amanda had the drive date with Parker. Ever since that meeting, they had found a way to reconcile after sharing their views on what they want. They had come to an understanding and Amanda was quite glad that she had someone like him who was very understanding. She didn't know what she'll have done if he wasn't there for her."Okay darling, I'm listening. What's going on?" Amanda asked.She could see a look of confusion and hurt in Emily's face and she knew that something was definitely wrong. Emily wasn't one to show emotions, she hid it well and if she was showing emotions now, it just meant that something terrible had gone wrong."Oh boy! Emily, what's going on?" Amanda asked.She pushed her food away, putting all of her attention on Emily. This was not the time for food, it was the time to talk and she had to do that right about that moment. Emily heaved, tears threatening to fall. She ra
AmandaTo say I was surprised about what Emily said would be an understatement, I was downright shocked. Never in my life would I ever have thought that Emily had a boyfriend much less breaking up with him. She had really been hurt by what happened and the only thing that could help her come out of the blues was just distance. She had to keep her distance away from the boy who had hurt her so much.The only thing I could do as a friend was to offer comfort and love at the point I could. After school that day, I offered to follow her home but she declined, wanting to be on her own for now. I understood, if I were in her shoes, I'll probably do the same or even worse."Hey babe." Parker smiled, coming towards me.I smiled, hugging the man I could call my own. Today, he brought his car and I knew he was there to take me home."Hi sugar." I giggled.He pecked my lips and together, we walked out of the school and towards his SUV his father had gifted him a year ago.Parker and his family's
''Thank you.'' Parker said.Amanda who had been in the middle of waking up and sleeping yawned as she opened her eyes. She had just had the best sex ever and she knew that in time to come, she would never forget any of this. Parker made her feel like a woman, a woman who was dignified and not like those other women men used, stories she had heard from her friends.''For what?'' Amanda asked.''For starters, for doing this with me. I know you can easily get your pick from all the numerous men out there but you chose me. That means something to me.'' Parker smiled.He moved closer to her, taking her warm hands in his. He couldn't quite believe he had a beautiful woman in his bed. It all seemed like a dream but Parker knew it was no dream, it was real. As real as it could get.''You don't have to thank me. I love to be with you just as you are to me so no need to thank me. All we have to figure out now is how to manage this without letting anyone else know about it.'' Amanda said.Parker
"How do you feel baby?"Amanda asked.It's been a few days since Parker was attacked and to say he made a speedy recovery would be an understatement, it was amazing.At the beginning, when it first happened, Amanda had her doubts whether he would recover but at the end, he not only surprised her but everyone who knew.Jamie and Amanda both knew that it was his strength that saved him but at the same time, Parker was so strong on his own that nothing could actually hurt him."I'm okay baby, you don't need to worry about me. I told you to stop asking about me, I'm more concerned about you. Tell me darling, how do you feel?" Parker asked.That was just one thing about him. Even though he was in pains, he would still make sure she was alright. That was the kind of man she loved and Amanda was quite glad she got him."Asides being scared that you might not make it, I'm okay over all." She smiled.Parker leaned closer to her, giving her a warm kiss on her lips.This was the best moment for t
‘’The Dremis’s have sought for outside help.’’ Aliyah began.If Lucas was surprised to hear this, he hid it well. For a group not so grounded as the Dremis’s, he had a feeling that they might likely have sought outside help. Now, it was happening and he didn’t know what to make of it. ‘’Wow! Really, wow!’’ Lucas said.‘’I know, that was my initial expression when he told me this.’’ Aliyah said.With those words, she had committed herself and she knew it was best for her to tell him everything at that moment because he would never stop until he found out what she really meant by those words.‘’Diabla, what do you mean?’’ Lucas asked.Aliyah sighed, taking a deep breath. She didn’t want to be seen as a traitor. Even though she was the head and could do as she pleases, her loyalty still remained with her group and she would rather die than compromise that.‘’I lied when i told you i went to see the accident victim.’’ Aliyah said.‘’I knew you were lying but I just didn’t know where you
Lucas was getting ready to leave his office when he received a call from Aliyah. He had been expecting her call and he was quite glad when he saw her name flash on his screen. Ever since his first kidnap, he had also been very careful on how he moved about.He didn't want to do anything that would cause her pain or put himself in a position that wasn't good at all. He needed to be careful now because a baby, his child, was also in the picture.Lucassmiled broadly and picked it up. He heared gushes from her as she thanks him for the dress. He knew she was going to do this but still, he was surprised at how enthusiastic she sounded. This just told him that she actually appreciated the gift and within him, he planned to give her more gifts as the day went by.''Hey baby, I see you like your new dress.'' he smiled.''Aliyah, I not only like it, I love it. Thank you so much.'' Aliyah gushed.She had always been a sucker for pretty dresses and anytime anyone gifted her one, she never faile
"Oh my gosh! No no no. It's not going through." Aliyah said.She had been trying to mind link Lucas ever since but the damn server was being distrusted by something or someone. It was very frustrating to say the least."Oh my gosh! What's going on? Where's Lucas?" Aliyah asked, pacing about.She gripped her phone in her hands, pacing about with tears streaming down her eyes. If anything were to ever happen to Lucas, Aliyah knew she'd never forgive herself nor him because she had warned him not to go anywhere but his stubbornness and insistence to go had caused him a whole lot."What's happening?" She asked.Patrick rushed in at that moment, panthing in her normal form. Aliyah had called her when she couldn't get a hold of Lucas because in that moment, she knew it was only Patrick that could calm her down."You still haven't gotten a hold of him?" Patrick asked, morphing back to her normal form."No and the worst part of it all is that the mind link seems to be scrambled somehow." Aliy
"Babe, I need to get to another town this evening. I need to pick up something from my office there." Lucas said. It was early in the morning, with the birds singing in the air and the morning animals chirping in the forests round about them. It was also the day of the anniversary, the day when both Aliyah and Lucas would be in their strongest form. "You realize what day it is today right?" Aliyah asked. Lucas knew but still, he knew he had to take the trip. It was very important not only to him but to the entire company and he wouldn't trade it for anything else. "This is important to me Aliyah, you've got to understand." He said Aliyah didn't know what was more important than staying home when he clearly knew that going out on a anniversary day was not a good decision. "Can't it wait till the following day?" Aliyah asked. "It honestly can't. If I could, I wouldn't bother going today." Lucas said. Aliyah thought about it and judging from the look in his eyes, she knew it had
LucasI couldn't lie to myself that what Slyvia said hurt me a whole lot. The bite and sting in her voice hurt me a lot but the last thing I would do was to see how much she hurt me. I would rather eat sand than allow her to see that she actually got to me.''Bitch!'' I hissed.Her disgusting attitude and behavior was going to get her into trouble one day and I would be there to watch her downfall and also laugh at her.I made my way back to my room. There were many things I needed to do and the earlier I got on with it, the better for me. I didn't have time to worry about someone like her when there were other things I could worry about.Slyvia was of no importance to me and in that moment, I knew I needed to put her in her place. That was the best thing I could do to someone like her.''So… how did it go?'' a voice said.I didn't need to look back to know that it was Patrick who spoke. He was very inquisitive as well as nosey and would always want to know everything that was going o
"Parker, let's go make some cookies." Amanda said.She was in the mood to eat and actually make some of the delicious cookies with Parker. With him, she always felt safe, like nothing could actually go wrong which was her own safe space."Now?" He asked."Yes, or don't you?" Amanda asked.Not that she'd be angry about that but she just knew that the next time she decided to make it, she wouldn't have the energy to."I'm game." Parker smiled.Together, they made their way towards the kitchen, holding hands like lovestruck teenagers. Sometimes, they couldn't get a hold of themselves which at times was very annoying especially to Jamie who couldn't stand them at all."If Jamie was here, you know he'd probably shout at us for being so cringy." Amanda laughed."Yeah... Yeah, I told the guy to get a girlfriend but he feels so reluctant about it. I'll probably talk to him about it again." Parker said."Is he scared of commitments?" Amanda asked.That was the only thing that came to her mind
"Yo! Parker, I have to get out for a while." Jamie said.His plan was to go to the brotherhood's office to tell them that he would be leaving soon. It hurt him to leave but he had to get back to his mother and also finish up his school."Okay, stay safe bro." Parker said from the inner room.He was helping Amanda with some of her homework which some of her friends had mailed to her. It was off to say the least because it was usually the other way around with her teaching him. But if there was one thing Parker was good at, it was English literature.When it came to that, he was champion, nobody could beat him in that and it was no wonder he aced all his papers in that aspect."Will do." Jamie said.He left the house, shutting the door firmly. Ever since Amanda was attacked in school by that crazy monster, she'd been taking home lessons which was safer and both Parker and her uncle could keep an eye on her.Her uncle who had planned to leave before might not be leaving in a long time.
