2024-10-29 19:42:56“So you’re here uhn, acting all like a savior,” Elena said, still drunken as Matthew carried her.
He saw Silver walking towards them, her expression serious more than his mother’s.“I’ll take her home. You can please help me drop Sarah home. Thank you.” He said, walking past her without waiting for her reply.If he waited for her reply, he would hear excuses for her offering to take Elena, and for some reason, he didn’t want that. He opened the door of the party, noticing their surrounding was dark already before approaching his car. Placing her carefully on the backseat, he closed the door and walked to his seat, starting the car and rolling down all the windows.He zoomed out and started driving, his thoughts going to the day he found her drunk at the bar. This was exactly what he did, apart from the fact she kept muttering incorrigible nonsense which made him angry, blaming herself why she hadn’t seen the sign that Jeremy didn’t like her, aRelated chapters

Elena woke up the next morning, a banging headache and a sore body. She fluttered her eyes repeatedly before standing up. “Where am I?” She yawned and glanced around, hissing when she finally got it. She looked at the other side of the bed and saw an empty bed. Matthew must have slept beside her, given how those parts were ruffled but had woken up. Her eyes went to his clock, widening as she saw the time. Her mother was going to kill her. She stood up immediately, and she groaned out at the back ache she was having. “Where are you rushing to?” She heard his voice, but ignored it, going down on her knees as she searched under her bed for her sneakers. “I called her last night and told her you are with me. So don’t fret.” He retorted as her heart stopped, looking at him immediately. “My head aches, and my body.” She cried out. Matthew eyed her before walking towards her, passing her the cup he was holding.

“Wooh!!!!!” Elena yelled out, her head out of the window and her hair blowing all over the cool breeze.“I missed this so badly!” She yelled again, making Matthew curve his lips as he increased the speed.They had their particular route, it was always deserted, and it gave them the opportunity to drive as they wish. Loud music blared from the car as Elena got the half of her body back in, rolling the glass back up and turning on the air conditioner.“You were laughing so happily when you came out of the house. What was your mum saying? Is it about me?” She asked.She turned towards the back, grunting as she tried to open the bag they packed snacks and other things too.“What are you looking for?”“A brush, I need to brush my hair back and look like a normal and decent person back.”Matthew glanced at her hair, apart from the ruffling that made it look a little rough, there was nothing bad about it.“It’s fine. You don’t need to comb it, and even if you do, your head would be back outs

After some minutes of resting and munching on snacks, Elena was tired and decided it was time for them to continue, but this time she sat at the backseat, laid down and soon enough, she was fast asleep. Matthew had no choice but to keep on driving, but this time his head was full of thoughts. Why was it so hard for her to see it? Why does she keep pushing every other lady to him and for her to see it, it was very hard for her?Or maybe she was just pretending, trying not to give him the hope that he might have a chance, and protecting him from not telling him he might not have a chance. A heavy sigh escaped his lips as he rolled down his window, allowing the chill breeze to rush in. He knew Sarah likes him, and he knew he was treating her badly by allowing her to think she had a chance. But life was not fair, and that was the same way the person he likes treated him.Everyone needed each other, if he couldn’t get her, at least he had someone he could always talk to. He remembered duri

“We’re there.” Matthew said to Elena as he killed the car engine and got out.It was some minutes towards six o clock in the evening and they were just arriving at the party Matthew wanted to bring her to.“Remember…”“No drinking and no moving out of sight. I get it, that’s why you brought the pineapple juice.” Elena cut him off, rolling her eyes and getting out of the car.Matthew opened the back seat, rummaging through the stuff they’ve brought and bringing out a bottle. He locked the car by pressing the keypad and threw the bottle to Elena.She caught it just in time as her eyes widened with a smile,“Are you changing your mind?” She said and walked towards him, nudging him by the shoulder.“Nope. It’s still pineapple juice. I want you to be sober. We still have a long way to go.”Elena rolled her eyes, looking at the bottle in her hand with anger before hissing out.“Let’s get this over with. I want to go home.” She muttered under her breath.She walked past Matthew and towards t

Elena sprung up the bed immediately, rushing down and picking the bra from the floor. Her cheeks were reddened already out of embarrassment, and her gaze avoided Matthew as she picked all the clothes back inside the bag they had brought.“Were you rushing to sleep?” She heard him ask, pretending not to hear as she dumped the bag back to the table, her charger in her hands and jumped back on the bed.She picked up her phone again, this time since she’s been caught, plugging her charger into the socket and returning to the movie she had once abandoned. Matter lips curled into a smile as he picked his shorts and the singlet he came out to pick, returning to the bathroom to change.Elena huffed out as he left. She didn’t want them to do their ritual thing that they always do whenever they come to the hotel. She just wanted to pretend she was asleep. He’ll not disturb her but now she’s been caught and they were going to do it.“Go and shower. We had a long day for you to take that dirty bo

The night went well for both Matthew and Elena after their little moment, Elena getting out of the shower and dressing up while they hung the clothes they got wet. They both settled for a movie, eventually clearing up the awkward silence between them. By the time they were halfway into the movie, Elena was fast asleep on Matthew’s arm while he was dozing already.They woke up very early this morning to meet up with getting home and school also.“Elena, get up! We have to be fast!” Matthew said as he tapped her up.He has packed every one of their things and just needed Elena to wake up and follow him into the car. After a while of trying to wake her without answering him, he proceeded to carry her, backing the bag they brought before throwing her over his shoulder.“What! Where am I! Drop me down this instant!” She started to yell out, making his drowsy and sleepy self leave before landing her feet back to the ground.“Good morning.” The hotel attendant greeted as they walked past her

The rest of the day passed in a blue for Elena, trying to complete the rest of the car and survive to the end, and not trying to think much into Sarah’s words. A part of her didn’t want her to do it, skeptical and also scared at the same time. What if Matthew says yes to her and they start dating?She’ll have to stick and this time not disturb them for whatsoever reason. She didn’t think she wanted to do that yet. “Do you want Silver to give you a ride? I'm having my practice today and I can’t. I’m so sorry.” Craig said as she got out of the class, picking her cheeks in a hurry before running off.“Let’s go, I’ll give you a ride.” She heard Matthew say, looking at her back as her face broke into a tired smile. Matthew hung his arm around her shoulder as they walked together towards the parking lot.“So I heard, you and Sarah are friends again and discussing other things, clearing the air.” He started,“Yeah.Don’t you want us to be friends?”“Nope.” Matthew hurriedly replied, “I’m ju

“Elena, can I have a word with you?” She heard her mum call out as she walked into the kitchen the same eveningsHow she got into the house was a haze but she was sure it couldn’t be more than Matthew’s work. “I’m coming Ma.” She replied, groaning out in pain and her eyes acting like it didn’t want to open.“Ma, I’m so tired. My head is aching and my whole body hurts.” She added, opening some of the pots as she tried to find something to eat.“I bought pizza. It’s here. I’ll try to cook something after we talk.“Let’s do it together. You cook and we talk, I’ll stay with you for a little while." Elena replied as she walked towards the living room.Clara was there, seated on the couch and her eyes focused on the television. One of the pizza slices was in her hand, already munched to half.“I’m all ears.” Elena plopped down to the sofa after carrying a whole box of the pizza. Clara turned to face her after a while, turning off the television and looking at her daughter’s face.“How is

Damien wiped his sweaty hands on his jeans as he drove into the garage. He turned off the car and sighed.“Are you that anxious to meet my mom?” Dani asked as Rai burst into laughter.“I’m not anxious just careful” Damien replied with a smile as they got out of the car.“Careful my feet” Dani sneered as she burst into laughter. Ria smiled at Damien as she took his hand.“Don’t mind Dani, my mom is not that scary” Ria said and Damien laughed.“I know right,” Damien said as they walked into the house.“Mom, good evening,” Ria said as she pecked her home.“I see you brought a friend,” Mrs. Mahmata asked with a small smile.“Yes,” Ria said with a smile.“Mom, this is my boyfriend, Damien. Damien, this is my mom” Ria said as Damien debated on which expression he was supposed to make. He ended up making a weird expression as he greeted Mrs. Mahamta.“Good evening ma’am” Damien greeted as Mrs. Mahmata narrowed her eyes at him. Damien could feel the sweat running down his back as Mrs. Mahmata

Ria twirled her pen as she turned to Damien “I was waiting for you to come back that’s why I haven’t filled out my application yet” Ria confessed.“Jason told me you hadn’t so I didn’t even collect my form yet,” Damien said and Ria smiled.“We think alike too much” Ria cooed and Damien pecked her before tapping her nose.“So which uni are you doing?” Damien asked and Ria shrugged.“I was about to ask you” Ria replied and Damien wriggled his eyebrows at Ria.“I’ll go anywhere you go” Damien replied and Ria chuckled as she opened her phone and scrolled through the list of universities.“What do you think about TAS?” Ria asked and Damien shrugged his shoulders.“Anywhere you want to go baby” Damien replied as Ria shook her head.“Bristol Univeristy then,” Ria said and Damien shrugged. They both brought out their forms and started filling them out. Damien filled his form with his right hand as his hands found Ria’s skirt. His hands went inside her skirt and Ria sucked in a breath as she

“It’s everywhere on the school forum,” Ava said as she scrolled her phone.Damien shrugged his shoulders as Ria fed him a fry “You know how active the school forum had become since Hazel became the president” Damien said and the girls burst into laughter.“Arianna Mahmata!” Zara yelled as she stormed into the cafeteria startling everyone. Ria frowned upon seeing Zara and Penny.“How shameless will you become? You stepped down from being the captain as if you wouldn’t do anything. What the hell did you tell the cheerleaders?” Zara asked as Ria slowly rose to her feet.“Shameless?” Ria asked as she stepped out of her seat.“If anyone should be asked who is shameless I think it should be the both of you. I thought you guys were my friends yet all along I was called a snake and a viper by my friends. I gave everything and did all a friend does and gives to her friend as a friend, I helped you every way I could but what did you guys do? You stabbed me in the back neatly” Ria said as she tu

Ria was the first to get to school the next day. She smiled sweetly at Ava who started clicking pictures of her immediately.“Girl you are glowing” Ava exclaimed and Ria laughed.“Is it because he asked you to marry him yesterday?” Ava asked with a smile and Ria’s smile grew wider.“Maybe, who knows?” Ria asked as they sat down.“Where’s Janet?” Ria asked as Ava scoffed.“She’s like you. if you can’t find her, you won’t see Jason” Ava replied and Ria laughed.Ria raised her head when she saw a shadow fall over her and she snickered seeing Gabriel. As Ria had said, his popularity had hit rock bottom after that day, his friends stopped talking to him, and he was also benched by the soccer team. If he didn’t play in any matches soon; it would really be hard for in to get into a soccer school and talk less of a top-notch one.He had no option but to seek out Ria again. They definitely had to date again even if it was for show. Gabriel gave Ria a small smile as Ria glared at him.“What do

Ria held Damien’s hand as they walked out of the old house. Ria took one last look at the house as they walked outside the house. Ria looked around and was surprised at the number of black cars in front of them.She easily recognized the dragon tattoo on the cars as the same one on Damien’s stomach. She allowed Damien to pull her towards one of the cars and the window was slowly wounded down.“Is it all taken care of?” a voice asked in the car and Damien nodded.“Yes, boss” Damien replied.“Hmmmmm,” the voice said.“Thanks, boss” Damien said his voice solemn.“Take care of yourself, Damien,” the voice said as the glass went up and the cars sped out of sight.“Who were those?” Ria asked and Damien smiled at her.“People you don’t need to pay attention to,” Damien said as he led Ria to the car and he drove off. Damien couldn’t express how he was feeling. He didn’t feel free, he was just calm and he tightened his grip on Ria’s hands as he drove toward his apartment.He had her beside him

Damien rubbed Ria’s back comfortingly as he pulled her along and walked after the burly men. Ria watched as they led them to another part of the fighting ring.The area was surprisingly well-lighted and bright. There were rows of burly men with weapons making Ria latch herself to Damien.“He’s inside,” One of them said as Damien pushed the door opened and stepped inside the room.It was a large spacious office and there was a fan rolling as Damien and Ria stepped into the room. Three men were seated on the sofa in the middle of the office.“Damien, have your seat,” one of them said with a smile and Damien sat down and pulled Ria with him.“Mr. Lee, I have fulfilled our part of the agreement. I have as well also repaid my father’s debt. Isn’t it time to let me go?” Damien asked calmly as one of the men laughed.“It’s hard to let one of our strongest fighters go just like that,” he said and Ria frowned as she looked at the man disgustingly.“Just like that? Viper, I fought for a year” D

Ria watched calmly as Damien wore his gloves. She had watched Damien fight two times after the first time he brought her to the underground ring and she knew how good he was. But considering that after today he wasn’t going to be fighting again; Ria felt weird about it.She knew these people weren’t going to let him go just like that but Damien had assured her that he was going to be fine so she couldn’t do anything about it. She could only pray in her mind.“Don’t look like that, I’ll really be fine” Damien said and Ria nodded as she dropped a small peck on his lips.Damien tapped her nose as they walked out of the room. Everyone was yelling at top of their voices. He walked into the ring and raised his hands at the referee who checked him and Damien turned to his opponent. It was a young man who was a few years older than him. Merely looking at him, Damien knew he was the real deal. He chuckled lightly; these people had finally pushed him to the wall.He walked at Ria who was lookin
