Harmony stared and opened her eyes as the sun rays hit her eyes through the opened curtain. She climbed down from the bed, wore her slippers and walked blindly out of the room but she became wide awake when she saw a shirtless Ichabod walking out of his room as well.
They both ran into each other in the middle of the passage and stopped, looking at each other in shock. All of a sudden, she remembered the robe she was wearing would probably be showing off her cleavage so she cleared her throat and covered her chest with her hands…
“Good morning.” Ichabod managed to say, looking away.
“Morning.” She replied feeling uncomfortable and looking away as well.
“I needed a cup of water.” He said even though he had no reason to tell her.
“Okay, I just wanted to drink something myself.” She replied and they both nodded at the same time but neither made a move. Harmony could feel her heart beating so fast as she tried not to stare at the shirtless man in front
Harmony’s POVMinutes later, I was sitting at the same spot we had sat the previous night but now with a considerable amount of space between us. I had poured myself a drink but he was standing beside the fridge, gulping down a bottle of water. I still couldn’t shake the awkward feeling off of me.Why did he apologise for leaving like that? Had he wanted to kiss me back as well? I knew he wasn’t looking at me but while I took my drink, I couldn’t help but check him out with the corner of my eye. Oh dear lord, this man is so fine it makes me hot all over.I wondered if he had a girlfriend because I could totally picture myself getting naked with him, running my hands all over his thick lustrous hair and…oh, those eyes of his…as blue as the ocean, looking at me with so much gentleness…they were the perfect shades of….Oh crap! He was looking at me! I coughed out my drink as I realized and he stood up, walking closer to me and aski
“Why didn’t you fight back Ichabod?” She asked, some minutes later after the men were gone. He was now in a white shirt and they were sitting at the bar.He shrugged. “It was pointless. I didn’t want to disrespect you and I had no interest in causing trouble. Besides, he’s just being a jealous father and he hates the fact that his reputation is at stake.” He replied.Harmony sighed. “I am just glad that Tracy didn’t see all that happened, poor girl. She would have been so frightened.”“How did you two meet? Was he a good guy before and then he suddenly went to the bad side?”Harmony poured herself more drink.“I was so young and stupid. I had just become a star and he was a popular coach. We were the Nigerian sweethearts, we were famous and everyone loved us so we dated. I thought he was a good man but when we got closer, I realized he was a selfish buffoon. I got impregnated on a careless night and he wanted me to get rid of it. I refused, I don’t have
ICHABODThat evening, they had ended up in the club.Rashidat had spoken with him over the phone some minutes ago and she said it was urgent and they needed to see. That was right, after what Odin had done the previous night. Adam had driven to Harmony’s house and from there, Ichabod had sent him the address of the club they were. Now they were on their way.Adams had been calling him and he had to rush out to pick. It was around 5 pm. “Hello Adam, where are you?”“We are outside; Rashidat will come meet you while I bring the van around.”“Okay,” he said, ending the call. Some minutes later, he saw the blue van and a lady stepped out of it, it was Rashidat. She crossed over to meet him while Adams drove ahead to turn.**Harmony sighed, checking the time. She wondered where he had run off to.“Hey, is everything okay?”She looked beside her; it was her best friend, “hey, did you see I
Harmony was confused, what was wrong with her? Why was she giving him attitude? Even if the lady was his girlfriend, she shouldn’t have a problem with that should she? Why did this man have so much influence on her emotions…? Ever since she saw him with another woman, something had gone wrong in her and she couldn’t shake off the feeling. She thought about talking to him but he stood and left, her heart sank…**Ichabod removed the ring and placed it on the table before going into the bathroom to take his bathe. His mind was on how he would manage the Monogen till the full moon. He hated Odin, he liked messing things up and he wasn’t even messing things up for him alone, he was doing it for both of them. He sighed as the cold water hit his body…now Harmony had been acting quite strange, what was her problem anyway? It had started ever since he left the club to go see Rashidat and…wait a minute, had she seen him w
When his lips brushed mine, it was like a beautiful electrocution. The kiss wasn’t teasing or passionate, it was electrocuting, setting all my entire body on flame. I couldn’t even pull away if I wanted to, no, I didn’t want to. I couldn’t think straight, all my senses have been seduced. The only things I could feel right now were the taste and the smell of him.“Denis…” he breathed my name, slowly, prolonging each letter. My heart fluttered at the seductive sound of his voice and I leaned in closer, clasping my hands on either side of his face. I have never heard my name being called so sweetly like that… He kissed me hungrily, knocking all the wind from my lungs and I returned it savagely. I felt a moan escaped my lips as he pressed his tongue to the seam of my lips, I opened wider, granting him more access. I arched up against his broad chest…I wanted all of him. I could feel moisture in between my legs and then I felt a painful scratch but I was too occupied to be distract
He watched her as she carefully applied the lipstick to her lips before proceeding to carve the eyebrows. He chuckled in the darkness and the lady turned around, a little bit frightened but she recomposed herself on seeing him.“You need to stop doing that Odin, no one wants you here,” Rashidat said as she applied the rest of her makeup.“Oh, Odin growled, “that hurt my feelings and here I thought you are looking beautiful to impress me.”Rashidat hissed, “you are such a pain in the ass.”“And you are such a naughty girl,” he said, getting closer to her and sniffing in her perfume. The lady was non-challant, she kept on doing what she was doing. Odin found her pair of earrings and handed one to her. Just as she was about to collect, he withdrew his hands.“If you are not going to help me, would you just drop my earrings for me?”Odin chuckled mischievously, “and waste all the fun?” he said and then proceeded to hook the earring to the lady’s ear.
Rashidat couldn’t believe she had almost kissed him. What the hell was that? She sighed and picked up her bag. She had a club to go to and he had delayed her enough. She turned and was headed out when she heard some noise like a man groaning.“Who is that?” She shouted, thinking it was probably Odin playing a trick on her. “Odin, I do not have time for this,” she said but was surprised as a man came crashing into the set of chairs in the passage, startling her.“Oh my God! What the hell!” she shouted but was more surprised when she saw Odin, grinning. “Odin what are you doing? Who is this man?” she asked him, looking at the man in suit who was now bleeding from the mouth and had lost consciousness.“I found him sneaking around, is he a friend of yours?” Odin asked, his eyes shimmering against the light of the yellow bulb.“No, I don’t know him,” Rashidat replied, now a bit scared as Odin was finally showing his real self. “How did you find him?”
Harmony woke up very early the next day, she had a very important shooting and she was getting dressed.It was a Saturday morning, meaning Tracy didn’t have to go to school.While she was getting dressed, she was boiling inside. Maybe the whole thing with Ichabod was a mistake. Maybe she shouldn’t have tried to kiss him when he was clearly with someone else. She was certain that the lady whom she had seen at the club the other night was Dennis. She wished she had taken a better look at her but, maybe it was for the best. Vivi had left early that morning to get ready for the scenes, now Harmony knew that Ichabod would make her late since he had apparently not come back from wherever he must have gone last night.“Take the bag into the car, I need to call Ichabod,” she said to Tanya who was behind her.She took a deep breath and then brought out her phone, she discovered she already had six missed calls from Michael. She rolled her eyes. The day was
**Hi Guys, so I realized I made a mistake in the last three chapters talking about Vivian instead of Rashidat but that has been cleared. Apologies about that. It has been corrected*"So, Harmony and Ichab are married?"Rashidat nodded.They were at a restaurant after leaving the psychic's place. With the blood that dripped into his mouth while unconscious, he had been cured of his vampire spirit and was now human. Rashidatkept on looking at him, smiling. She was too happy."If you keep on looking at me like that, I might be forced to make love to you right here in front of all these people."Rashidat blushed and looked away."It's just really difficult to finally believe that you are here," she replied.Odin smiled. "Don't worry. I am here to stay but you will need to find a way to explain to your father."Rashidat sighed. "He would definitely faint after hearing it."They both chuckled.
Rashidat watched as the woman knelt down, holding the soaked cloth in between her palms. She was positioned in a way that as she held the cloth, the blood that dripped from it, dropped on the dead man's forehead and all the way to his lips.She threw her head back and began to chant in a foreign language.It started really softly at first, but then it intensified as her voice grew stronger and louder. The candlelight began to flicker.The woman did not stop. As she continued, Rashidat thought she saw the shadow of someone bypassed her...her heart ceased. She intensified her gaze and realized it was nothing.As the woman continued. Another shadow ran across the room and a mighty wind started, scattering everything in the room.Amidst this noise, Rashidat began to hear lots of strange voices, some were loud, some were just whispers. She couldn't pick anything but she heard a faint voice, calling, her name."He's calling my name!" she sho
"Here is it," she said, dropping the piece of cloth on the psychic's table.The lady raised her brows. "He really likes you to have visited you," she stated and picked up the cloth.Rashidat sat on the couch. She could feel a throbbing at the side of her neck that was tied with a scarf. She had tried not to make her father suspect anything and had decided to cover it up that morning."May I see it?" asked the psychic.Rashidat frowned at first and then later untied the scarf. The lady stood up and walked closer to him. She bent slowly in front of her and turned her head sideways to inspect the bruises."Hmm...he's lucky you are looking out for him. He's drifting slowly but the blood you gave him was enough to make him last longer for us to do what we are supposed to do. ""What do you mean by drifting?" Vi asked, tying her scarf back as the psychic walked back her seat."The underworld is a terrible place. There are stages where some
That night, as usual, Rashidat was waiting in the room, waiting for him. Her father had retired for the night so it was just her in the darkness. She had purposely put off the light while she waited for the wall-clock to chime 12:AM.While she paced, lots of doubts began to find a way into her mind...what if he never showed?All of a sudden, a strange breeze filled the room, causing lots of things on the desk to clatter to the floor."Rashidat"His voice gave her goosebumps and she turned around to take a look at him. He was sitting on her bed. She walked towards the switch to put on the light but in a flash, he was he pulled her away. It was so sudden that her breath caught. The next thing she knew was she was on the bed while he was standing close to her."Do not put on the light," he growled."Why?" she inquired."Becuase," he said quietly. "I do not want you to see me like this..."She frowned and stood up. She walked
“I really can’t believe what you’re saying,” Vivian said. Rashidat had gone to her house the next day to recount all that happened the previous night. Although she didn’t go into full details, she only told her what was important.
She couldn’t believe her eyes as she walked closer to the mirror…She could feel her heart rising and falling as she reached a hand towards the mirror…to touch him but she only touched the cold surface of the glass. She hurried to put on the light but then he was gone. Now, she was confused…Odin!”“Hello, my lovely,” came the familiar voice very close to her ear but she still couldn’t see him.
Rashidat sat in front of the mirror as the clock struck some minutes to twelve, quietly smoking her cigar. Ever since Ichabod and Harmony left, she had always been doing this, hoping that somehow, Odin would appear to her. She knew it was crazy and her father knew this as well. Still, she was hoping that somehow, Odin would show up. It was a
Pleasure rippled through her, something deep inside of her felt ravenous. She drank him in. Thousands of butterflies dipped and dived in her stomach. She closed her eyes so tight colors exploded behind her lids.He pulled nearly all the way out of her and then pressed in.A quiver of anticipation shot through her, wrenched her passion higher yet until the feeling built deep inside her and she reached for it. He stopped all of a sudden.“No, no!” she whined in protest.
Chapter 41That night, Harmony settled in her bed, waiting expectantly for her husband as she looked at the ring on her left finger. It’s been two days since they left Africa and were settled in Michigan. They had also decided to get married and had gone to a court to profess their love for each other. Everything was just perfect.Ichab walked out of the bathroom, with water dripping on the floor while he picked up a towel on a
