RHODA'S POV TWO WEEKS LATER... "Rhoda remember there would be a party tonight in James's house. His younger sister would be turning 18 and would be finding her mate."I would like us to go" Rose pleaded with her eyes as she knew I was going to reject. Parties are not my thing and I don't hesitate to reject invitations to any. I looked at Rose who was still giving me her puppy pout. "Fine I'll go" I surrendered and she grinned. "Really?" Her eyes widened. I know she was surprised I accepted. Even I do not know why I accepted. Maybe it was because it's a simple birthday party and it wouldn't hurt to attend. James's our friend afterall. "Yaaaay!!" I can't wait to watch someone find her mate. I haven't seen mate collision in a long time and I'm so happy I'll get to see one tonight" she giggled childishly making me roll my eyes. "Common Rose there's nothing special about that. Stop making it feel like it's something different from what you felt during yours" I rolled my eyes and she g
****JAYDEN'S POV*** Jake and Jordan had informed me about Charlotte's birthday, I didn't want to go at first but when they mentioned that Rhoda was going to be present as they were friends with Charlotte's brother, I had no other option than to follow them there. I stopped disturbing Rhoda but that doesn't mean I don't watch her from afar. I found out that I was deeply attracted to her and wouldn't want to force her anymore. We pulled up at the venue, followed through the backdoor where we won't have to shove over sweaty bodies. Loud music was blaring all over the speakers. We got to the table where Rhoda and others were seated. She was looking around the hall sipping from her cup. She looked so beautiful in her red dress with little make up on. I think she doesn't need lots of effort to stand out. She's just so pretty that sometimes I wonder if she's real. Lisa was also seated wearing a strapless black gown which made her b00bs shoot out, almost falling out of her dress. Such a
THE NEXT MORNING...... I stirred and rolled on the bed which felt softer than mine. I squinted my eyes and saw a brown curtain instead of my blue one. Still wondering if my eyes were playing a game on me, I felt a hot breathe fanning my neck. My heart skipped a bit as my eyes flew open, landing on the figure laying beside me. I sprang up, pulling up the bed cover to check on my clothes. I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw it was still intact. I waved my hands on his face to make sure he was still sleeping and after confirming, I gently got down from the bed and tiptoed out of the room into the sitting-room where I noticed I was in a penthouse. Jayden's penthouse obviously. It was big and beautiful but I do not have the time to check it out now because I needed to leave this place as soon as possible. I ran to the door but it was locked— much to my disappointment. I turned, only to hit a hard figure making me fall flat on my butt. "Ouch!" I let out a painful groan, grabbing
"You have too many questions Rose but I would try my best in answering them all. First, I'm home now, safe, okay and ready to receive the biggest scold of my life." "Secondly, Jayden took me to his house when he noticed I was really drunk and before you start raising your brows for hearing Jayden's name, he respected himself and didn't do anything stupid" "Thank you for talking me into coming to that senseless party where they had to play that stupid game and as for that Luca, I hope he did enjoyed the BJ he got and you, thank you for not noticing my absence until later." "I'm so sorry Rhoda, I'm really sorry for allowing you leave the party alone, I wasn't myself and couldn't get up from my seat because my eyes were full and am also sorry for what happened, Rhoda it was just a game which you shouldn't take serious" she stated. "That's bullshit Rose. he could have rejected and left the party instead of allowing her do such a dirty thing to him and I know he purely enjoyed it" I mut
My heart skipped a bit when I sighted him sitting on the double seater couch, his gaze fixed on the newspaper in his hands. "I swallowed all the salivas I could gather and walked up to him "Good morning Dad" I greeted. He looked up and smiled a little before replying my greeting. "Good morning my dear, you are back already?" He asked and I nodded, fiddling with my shirt and wondering what could be going on in his mind. Maybe he was hatching a punishment to give me or something else. He kept quiet for a few minutes and when I thought he wasn't going to start, his voice shook my ears. "Rhoda when did you start going to parties and even staying out the whole night?" he asked, closing his papers and sitting up, his gaze fixated on my face. "I...I ...wa..s invited by a friend to his sister's birthday party but I didn't know the wine I took was alcoholic so I got drunk and a friend took me home" I stuttered, my heart beating faster than normal. I do not like it when my father gets angry
"Definition of what?" I whispered to Rose to understand what the teacher was talking about. "Oxymoron" she whispered back. I breathe in and stood up. Atleast I knew what that was and won't be embarrassing myself. "An oxymoron is a figure of speech that juxtaposes concepts with opposing meanings within a word or phrase that creates an ostensible self-contradiction. Also, an oxymoron can be used as a rhetorical device to illustrate a rhetorical point or to reveal a paradox" I expounded. "Good you knew that, sit down but focus here Rhoda. your mind wasn't in what I was teaching so don't think you can deceive me with the definition you just gave because I saw you asking your friend what I was talking about" he scolded. I nodded and apologized sitting down. Gosh this man could be so difficult most times. Soon, the recess bell rang. We had three more classes after the English and all through the classes, I couldn't concentrate on any of what the teachers were teaching. I rushed out o
"Hahahahah you are so hungry babe" Luca laughed making me roll my eyes at his words. "Ofcourse I am duh!" We finished our food few minutes before the bell rang indicating the end of the recess. Rose and I bid the boys goodbye and walked back to our class. I was packing my books back into my locker after the end of school, when suddenly, a hand slammed hard on my locker causing me to jerk back with a yelp. "What the hell" I shrieked turning to see the intruder who had to scare me like that. "What the hell is wrong with you Jayden?" I yelled at him calming down my racing heart. You would have given me a heart attack you crazy boy" I cursed giving him my deadliest glare. "You know you look hot whenever you are angry and right now, I feel like bending you over this locker" he said, his signature naughty smirk evident on his side lips. I rolled my eye and slammed shut my locker after packing the books. I tried to ignore him and walk off out but he drew me back and pinned my hands abo
"Morning Mom" I greeted, making my way to the breakfast table. "Sweetie you are up, how was your night?" She asked and I nodded already stuffing a piece of pancake in my mouth. "Good mom" I replied gulping down a glass of coffee. I was soon done and drove out of the compound speeding to school. "That Rhoda girl made me have sleepless nights and even had dark circles around my eyes which hadn't happened before, I am surely going to teach her a great lesson today" I mumbled driving as fast as possible. *****RHODA'S POV****** Today's class couldn't get any worse, Jayden kept throwing piece of papers at me and when I had to shout at him, the teacher made me solve a bunch of maths which I clearly hated. Rose had gone to the restroom before the recess so I had to walk to the cafeteria alone today as she would be joining us later on. I was on my way to the cafeteria, walking down the hallway when I was suddenly pulled into an empty classroom. I tried to scream but a hand cove
