The Christmas
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Enola!", The mom was heard calling her from the living room.
Staggering from bed like someone that have missed a couple of sleep from the other night.
"Yes mom, you called me", she answered still wondering the reason for the early morning call.
The mom was a little bit worried, she had to inquire if everything was fine before sending her on the preformed errand.
"Do we still have Christmas trees in the house?" She asked.
Being a bit confused, she tried guessing from her head but at that moment, it seemed her brain was about to fail her.
"Let me go and check to be sure mom"......she said and made her way out to one of the rooms in the house.
She came back in a jiffy and related her remission in these words,
" they are just two remaining there".
The trees were very many before, so definitely, they had given some to their neighbors as a way to celebrate christmas together in one spirit. So, the remaining two trees had no where to go yet.
"We still have two remaining...., I don't have anyone else in mind to send them to unless you do",
before the mom had finished talking, she cut in,
"actually, I do. I will just deliver it later in the evening".
That was how she got a tree secured for whoever she wanted to give it to.
Like a flash of light and the blinking of the eye, evening was there. The evening came so fast as if it was manipulated by thoughts and wishes. The thoughts of Enola going to deliver the Christmas tree. She wasted no time to move the tree out from the house.....,she headed straight to the next street which was exactly where Bruno and his friends stayed. Locating Bruno's house was a bit tough for her owing to the fact that she had never been there before. Finally, she met someone to ask.
"Hey Ekaris, nice to meet you, you are just a God sent. I'm confused, I can't locate your friend's house, can you help me?". Ekaris had no option than to take her to where Bruno lived.
Ekaris wanted to ask her what she was holding, all rapped in a rapping sheet, but his timid nature would not allow him to, he do rather kept quiet. With a warm hug and pleasant smile, Bruno and Enola exchanged pleasantries.
"Hey, what brought you to my house today, please come inside dear", he pleaded.
As they all stepped in, luckily for Bruno, the parents were not around, they had gone out for their different business and are yet to return. He made a gesture to offer them something, as expected, she declined and Ekaris who was also shy had to decline too.
"I brought you a Christmas tree", she announced as she was bringing the stuff out.
That look that comes when someone receives a gift from an unexpected person and definitely the look that comes from the friend present, that was the case of Bruno and Ekaris. He could not hold the joyous expression back, so...., another intense hug followed to the unconsidered reaction of Ekaris.
"Thank you dear, I really appreciate and I will.......", Before he could finish, she cut in immediately,
" it's fine, just have a remarkable Christmas".
She did not stay much longer, if not, her mom would start wondering where she went to. On this account, she had to go home. But before she left, she shared her number with Bruno and likewise Ekaris. At least, if they were not able to meet, they could discuss over the phone. Ekaris, I do not know if he was happy but that of Bruno, he seemed to be the unconditional happy thief that got exactly what he was targeting and even more. It became obvious that Bruno and and Enola were the perfect match so, the rest of the group allowed them to be. All apart from Ekaris were happy for him, reason for that, no one knows.
The Christmas was indeed remarkable and everyone seemed to have enjoyed the season with every good thing around. We all know that the joy of Christmas lies mainly in sharing with others, and that was the case of theirs.

Last Updated : 2024-10-29Fire and Flame The plan for the trip.
Normally, within every year, Bruno and friends usually make out time to go on a short trip. Wait, before I continue, let's give these group of friends a name. “The paragons" will be fine, it's our joint decision to give them the name though.So, that year, the Paragons decided to go to the woods for their normal yearly trip. The trips usually last for three to four days. So, before the trip, certain preparation were being made by different individual. Each had to take up the role he or she could handle; the food aspect, the sports aspect, the organizing of the tents, the security aspect and host of others. It was Ella and Bruno that assessed the location and found it worthy for the trip. It was on a very cold and whispering evening that the both of them set out for the mission of finding a suitable site for the trip. All the Paragons met right in front of Bruno's house before they set out. Bruno drove all the way from the environs to the entrance of the woods. With the

“I never knew you can drive", Bruno said as he saw Enola arrived in a car.“A lot about what I can do you don't know about, she smiled and continued, just when you see me doing them, don't be surprised".They embraced themselves and she got a peck on the forehead. It was the day they planned to start the trip, all had agreed to assemble at Bruno's house for easy and straight forward movement. Enola arrived first, the reason is was very obvious. It became clearer that Enola was in love with Bruno. They way they relate and the way they act like they were newly married. Definitely, people should have lots of reasons to envy the lovers; at this, I do not blame Ekaris for the way he felt.Not too long after Enola arrived, the rest of the Paragons arrived too, like they planned the time themselves. Thanks goodness, Enola arrived with a car too. The journey already made easy. They packed everything they would need for the trip, some inside Bruno's car why the rest how's to

There was a fire place which they made in order to keep themselves warm. All of them where seen gathered around the fire like it was a committee of witches having their meeting, planning on a mission to devour. Each of them was putting on thick article of clothing to help the body warm faster. The cold was much like it was winter. It’s a known phenomenon that areas surrounded by water are most often cool especially the cool breeze that makes one thing that he or she was about to freeze. That’s because, during the day, the sun heats hard on the ground producing heat that helps warm the rivers, then at night, the river produced immense cool breeze that helps to keep the ground cold. It exhibits diffusion, not like the we are talking about liquids though, but it works in a more likely way; which means, it’s coldest in areas closer to the river or sea and colder in areas far apart. One may ask why those friends weren’t afraid of the dark and the seclusion of the area, amidst cre

It was already morning and they were all set for the day’s activity. It was hide and seek game. Everyone was ready for the game apart from Enola. She seemed little bit weak and exhausted.“Guys, I can’t come along, I feel really weak like I will fall sick. Let me just stay back and rest”, she Enola notified them.“Hmm, sounds so suspicious”, Michelle whispered to the hearing of Ekaris.“I don’t even wanna think about that, he whispered back and continued aloud… let’s just leave her behind and go ahead with the game”.They all left her behind like she insisted, Bruno was the last person to leave the area because he wanted to make sure that she was in good situation before joining others. Now, they would have to play the game in singles instead of pairing in twos. “You guys already know the rules of the game, we will spin a bottle, whoever gets spotted by the angle of spin will be the one to seek whereas, the rest hides”, Bruno instructed.“Please, let’s not go too far to avoid one mis

They were already coming to the end of their stay in the woods. That was probably, the last night they would spend there. That night was so memorable for some and as well normal for others. Due to the effect of the last game they played, they were all drained and famished. Normally, they usually go to the river to freshen up one after the other. It was Enola's turn, she left with her necessary articles of clothing down to the river to take a bathe. Maybe Ekaris thought she needed an escort and decided to follow her without her knowledge. Enola was moving faster and left much meters for him to cover up.So, when he finally got to the river, he sighted from afar and realized that Enola was already stripped. He decided to watch closely from the distance. The magnificent body of a wholesome creature, like assorted meals prepared for the calibers. Her beauty beamed like that of a goddess and her flexibility of heart made her so attractive. Ekaris was at his hiding place, obse

What he did would be discussed shortly, but before then, Enola made a decision to travel back to the coast side and stay with her father till further notice. At least to clear of certain things that were heavy on her. She suffered from loneliness and frustration from heart break. They day she planned to travel came too quick and she made her travel in solitude and silence without letting any of them know about it.The reason for the heart break, not like it was very official but there’s a way you must have gone with someone to notice the meaning of every action and reaction that comes from the person. There were countless times she was ignored by Bruno, Bruno certainly had whoever kept him busy and occupied over there at Texas. From his actions then, Enola was able to decipher wha
Fire and Flame Insincerity
We are not physically connected and as such, whatever I say stands to be right or worthy to be believed. It's not certain that one will say things the exact way they appeared to be, in as much as your presence wasn't relevant, what he or she wanted, that's what you would be told. Let's take for instance, I'm having an affair with another lady that's not my girlfriend and my girlfriend wasn't in sight, she traveled or I was the one that traveled. She called when the affair was going on, it would take just the comportment of the side girl to convince the main babe that you were sleeping before she woke you up, no matter how suspicious she might seem to be, she wouldn't be sure as well to conclude.Bruno and Enola were physically apart, and no one knew how longer that would be. Alexia and Clinton were physically apart from each other too. Alexia had something to make up to, she was planning on how to meet up with Bruno and at least spend some time with him. But it seemed Bruno wa

Fire and Flame With Silvia in Texas
We still remember that girl Bruno met inside the plane during his flight back to Texas? Her name was Silvia.

Since that day they arrived in texas, Bruno haven't met with her again or even called her to know how she was faring.

Fire and Flame The secret date
Michelle was the only person among the Paragons that we viewed single because there was no peculiar person she dated if not for the affair she had with Bruno. Asides that, we weren't told about her secret date. She has never met that guy physically, they only talked on the phone, did video chats and host of other things without meeting each other. They reason why they haven't met was due to distance and Michelle's mother's illness. But as everything worked out to be good, it was time for her to fix a date for the both of them to meet as the guy told her that it was dependent on her to choose an appropriate time that would suit her.The relationship was just between Michelle and her guy, no other person knew or suspected, they only wondered why she had not interested in getting a man of her own.
