'Am trying. 'Jonathan responds, laughing. The whistle blew, and their coach, Danny Scott, summoned everyone to address them.
'Thank you so much. As you all know, we will be having an inter-school competition with students of Baywatch academy. The games are scheduled for next week on Friday, and not all players will go, unfortunately. I have been taking note of your attendance, efforts, and dedication over the last two weeks. You will see the final list on the notice board by tomorrow morning. Is there any question?''Mr. Scott said.
Everyone stood rooted where they were. Jonathan and Nathan were quite sure they would be chosen because none of them had ever missed training and was discipline. Seeing no one had an issue, he dismissed them.
Jonathan and Nathan headed towards their closet, having

Nathan was spending the night at Jonathan's place, having told his dad that he was going for a sleepover there. He had thought through a plan and was sure that the only way to know more about Natalie without asking was to soak up as much time as he could with the siblings in the hope that one of them would accidentally let something slip.‘How did it end with Betty? It has been a while since you spoke of her. Are things okay between you?’ Nathan asked Jonathan to start a conversation.‘Betty has started trying to take control of me. Can you imagine she had a problem with me spending time with Natalie? She says Natalie is old enough to take care of herself and that I should spend time with her instead. ’Jonathan said.Taking the cue that it was the appropriate time to talk to Natalie, Nathan asked why Natalie was at home in the middle of a school year.'She had a minor accident one day on her way from school. Her leg got sprained, a

It was her mother and one of her husband's colleagues. She knew a confrontation would not help, but she vowed to collect evidence and let her father Joseck know what their mom Genevieve was doing.Her mum saw her and asked that she goes to her brother. She didn't even spare a few minutes to look and talk to her. She was furious beyond measure. She went outside the hotel lobby and called a taxi to drive her home. She was sure she had made a mistake in insisting on going to the party. She sent a message to her brother telling him that she had left for home so he shouldn't worry.At home, she went straight to bed and cried herself to sleep. She was so disappointed in herself and in her mom. She could not believe that her mom was having an affair and, worse, with one of her husband's colleagues.The following morning, Natalie woke up feeling heavy both in her heart and head. Her eyes were swollen, and everyone could see she had been crying. Her mother and father tol

Natalie and Natalie exchanged contacts. They were to begin their classes the following day, and both were very eagerly waiting for it.On that day, Genevieve stayed at home, saying she wasn't feeling well. Joseck asked her whether she had enough cash to see a doctor, to which she affirmed, and her husband left the house.Genevieve remained at home taking her breakfast and used the opportunity to catch up with her children. The two just gave her brief updates of what they would be doing that day. Natalie could sense that her mom suspected that her little secret was known, and that's why she didn't go to work. Her other assumption was that the mum had a date with her new partner.When her mom left, Natalie went to Jonathan. They talked about why their mum would ask about them for the first time in a long time,. They still had not gotten hold of their mom's phone and grew impatient because they felt incompetent.'I will be meeting Nathan today. We have to bu

Jonathan doesn’t know how long he stayed at the restaurant looking at Betty’s receding figure. He couldn’t believe that he had been too naïve to believe that things could really work out between them. Since their last breakup, Jonathan had refused the flirting of any girl in school because he still felt somewhere that Betty was the one for him.After today, he didn't know who to blame. Was it him for being blind in love? Was it Betty for not loving him back? Or was it Nathan and Monica who was Betty's friends and had played matchmaker?As he was wallowing in self-pity, he received a call from Natalie asking when he would be back home.Am on my way. He replied before calling the waiter to pay his bill and left for home. He regretted paying for Betty's meal as well, but he knew there was no way he would be allowed to leave without settling the whole bill. He had not even asked Natalie why she wanted to know about the time he would be getting

From where he was sited at Bee's chock lit, Jonathan was fuming. He was getting more certain that there was more in the relationship between his sister and friend.‘Am going to confront him about it right now, ‘he said under his breath as he prepared to stand up.‘To tell him what exactly? That you don’t want him next to that lady?’ Monica asked.'Well, that lady is my sister,' Jonathan said, and Monica couldn't help but laugh.'She might be your sister, but she isn't underage. She knows what she is doing. You and Nathan can compare balls later on but not in such a public place. Come on, let's, 'Monica said, and they left the hotel.Jonathan got home in a bitter mood. He was still annoyed at his friend, and even though he knew Monica was right, it didn't help him in controlling his feelings.He got a text from Monica thanking him for what she referred to as a date and surprised Jonathan.

Jonathan's family had decided on settling the divorce out of court. Even though the children had known their parents were definitely headed for a divorce, it didn't make anything easier. They felt they were to blame for the failure of their parent's marriage.'I can't believe this is really happening to us. I have read so much about how families are broken by divorces, and never in a moment did I think I would ever be a victim.' Jonathan said. Between him and Natalie, he was the most affected by the divorce. He had never stayed away from his parents for long throughout his life, so he felt he would really miss the comfort of having two parents.On the other hand, Natalie had spent the last few years with her relatives and only saw her parents during Thanksgiving and Christmas. She was confident she would be okay with either arrangement. She just didn't like the fact that her parents were divorcing.Genevieve and Joseck went separately to the attorney who was in

Whenever Jonathan was feeling annoyed, he used to go by any water body. He loved nature, and just sitting next to water made him feel relaxed. He thought of all that had happened over the last one month, and he wasn't pleased with all.'What is wrong with me? Why do I keep destroying even the good things? 'He kept asking himself, and he couldn't get an answer to it.He thought of how excited everyone at home was for Natalie's homecoming. Then how days later, he had the discovery that his mom was having an affair, then the divorce, his big fight with Nathan, the silence between him and Natalie because of his fight with Nathan, and now the cold war with Monica, who had stood by him.He suddenly felt a figure beside him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Natalie.'Hello, brother, 'she said, and Jonathan learned to give her a side hug. Both shed tears.'Am sorry. 'Jonathan said. 'That I keep on destroying every good thing that comes my way. '

‘Not that I remember of. ‘She replied as she headed to the door.She was surprised to see a lady she had never seen before. They stared at each other, each absorbing the features of the other before Jonathan broke the awkward silence and introduced the two to each other.'You knew she was coming, and you acted as though you didn't know anything, 'Monica said, amused.‘That is why it’s called a surprise. ‘Jonathan answered.The two went to the kitchen table, where they sat and ate their cookies with tea. They were happy. The only figure that was missing was Nathan, and they all knew it. They would look for him and make amends later on.Natalie and Jonathan were not in a hurry to go back home. They knew their dad would order takeaway for supper, and their stomachs were grumbling for properly cooked home food.Monica offered to prepare supper, and the siblings could not be happier.

She knew she was. She made heads turn, and her presence alone could make even the strongest man weak to his knees. Single men, dating, married, poor or rich all wanted her, but she went for Paul thinking he was the saint he portrayed himself to be.She could have said no, but she was confused. He might change, she thought, but now he wasn’t going to.He proved that over and over again. Dorothy got tired but didn’t know how to break up with him, and she was grateful he was finally gone, although she didn’t like the circumstances surrounding that fact.“Here is your tea,” she said as she placed the cup of tea on the table before Aston in his studio. She took a few sips of hers before placing her cup on the table too. “The weather outside is beautiful today.”“Yes. Yes, it is,” Aston confirmed, although his eyes never left Dorothy. “How about we go somewhere else while this dries?” he suggested.“Sure.”Together with their teas in their hands, they walked out of the studio.

Stella observed the interaction between the two, and once again, she knew she had lost Aston to Dorothy because he never looked at her the way he was looking at Dorothy, and that spoke volumes.Stella stood up and straightened out her dress.“I’ll check on you later, Aston, and nice to meet you, Dorothy,” she said with a smile and walked towards Steve.They bid each other farewell, and she left the room.Steve sat down in the chair Stella had just left vacant, crossing his arms over his chest again. He said with a strange emotion in his voice, “You mentioned something about you thinking Paul would change. Has he done something like this before?”Dorothy let out a heavy sigh before replying, “Yes. Yes, he has. Many times.”“Will you be able to testify against him in court?” Aston asked as calmly as he could.“Yes, I will. I think I’ve had enough of him,” she finalized.“Well, I admire your courage, my lady,” Steve commended, further encouraging Dorothy. “By the way, did you meet the pa

‘’We caught this young woman trying to force her way into the ward, and we suspect she might be part of the paparazzi,” the first police officer answered.Steve observed Dorothy noting that she looked familiar then he remembered her. ‘It’s fine, boys. Let her through.The police officers released her arms, and Dorothy threw them a disdainful look, then sent a grateful one Steve’s way.He opened the door for her, and she walked in, thanking Steve with a smile.Steve closed the door with a gentle click and faced Dorothy. “He’s right this way. I’m not supposed to say this, Dorothy, but he’s been expecting you.”Expecting her? Did he want to see her? Did this have something to do with her, or did he just want to see her? She wished it was the latter.Wait, this is Steve, Aston’s best friend and the owner of ‘From Our Hearts’ gallery, but how did he know her?Steve seemed to sense her conflicting thoughts. He sighed and then said, “I can assure you that there’s nothing to fret about, and w

She opened her eyes and brought her fingers up to see them coated with her juices— and Aston hair she had been supposedly pulling happened to be her shower curtain.She just fantasized about Aston pleasuring, but it was better than anything she had ever had with Paul, and the best part —she didn’t regret it.She wanted more of it. She wanted to make it real, so much that she was started to became inpatient and frustrated.The reality of her situation dawned on her when she got out of the shower. She stared at the ring on her finger, and for the first time, she felt trapped.The ring became heavy on her finger, and it began to feel like a heavy burden on her. She slipped the ring off her finger and placed it on the drawer bedside of the bed.Suddenly, she wasn’t sure she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Paul. She closed her eyes to picture Paul in her life as she had always done, but this time, Paul was replaced with Aston.And that moment, it became apparent to her that she w

Dorothy turned around to see Paul standing there, arms folded across his chest and his eyes shooting daggers at Aston, who ignored him, by the way.“So I’ll call you and let you know how it goes, okay?” Aston asked while looking at Dorothy, who nodded excitedly like a kid.Aston smiled and then replied, “Bye Dorothy, and take care of yourself.”“Okay!. Bye Aston, and thanks for visiting. It really means a lot,” Dorothy said, as she walked him to the door.He stopped for a moment and took a look at Paul, who was still standing in the doorway.“And you too, Paul. It was nice to meet you,” she added, and with that, he walked out of their flat without waiting to hear Paul’s grunt of a response.Not wanting Paul to ruin her mood, Dorothy hopped past the grumpy Paul happily to their bedroom, humming a song.The only thing in her head was that her art was going to be at an exhibition– something she never expected to happen.For the rest of the day, Dorothy was in high spirits humming a favor

Dorothy turned around with a smile. “Hello Mr and Mrs Harris. Wonderful weather we have today, yeah?”“Absolutely,” Mrs. Harris chirped while Mr. Harris only nodded.“Let’s go in,” she said to Aston leading the way. “How do you like your tea?” Dorothy asked as they entered her flat, locking the door behind them.“Anything is fine, thank you,” he replied with a smileDorothy walked to the kitchen, and moments later, the sound of a kettle whistling was heard, followed by cabinets opening and closing.Aston took this time to observe the interior decor of the flat. It was an average-sized flat with clean white walls decorated with prints of beautiful paintings.Different artifacts, frames, flower vases, and books sat well arranged on the shelf.Wine-colored drapes framed the windows, and the inner lace curtains remained drawn, allowing the sun rays to enter, casting a golden sheen into the living room. The decor was simple yet beautiful and welcoming.This reminded Aston of the typical co

“Oh, thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to me. And believe me, when I say coming from you means so much more,” she said.“I thought I was doing horribly, so I stopped painting for a while. I only began painting again when I came across your works in a gallery. I was in awe of hyperrealism. It was magnificent, and I knew I wanted to know how to paint like you,” she explained excitedly. “Meeting you here might be the best thing that has happened to me this year.”It was Aston’s turn to feel flattered, and he did ever so much. He had received a lot of compliments, but in a weird way, Dorothy appreciating his art made him feel he did something for someone, and it made him feel good.“I’m sure you’ll learn a lot from this class, and I can give you pointers if you want.”“You know I didn’t exactly enroll for this class. Mrs. Michael is my aunt, and she just allows me to join in and last week was my second time here.”“That makes sense. I didn’t think you paint. I though

For heaven’s sake, he wasn’t some teenager going through hormonal changes, so why couldn’t he stop thinking about Dorothy’s body and, even worse, smiling and blushing at the memory.‘’I guess we can now deduce my idea wasn’t laced with foolishness after all,’ Steve said with the smug look still on his faceAston scoffed, rolling his eyes at him, and said, “Don’t get ahead of yourself. I am still not convinced the class will do me any good.”“We’ll see about that, mate. We’ll see.”The whole weekend felt like torture to Aston. He longed to see Dorothy again, and it seemed the weekend was taking too long to end.Everything was confusing to him; what he was feeling about Dorothy and why he was feeling that way didn’t make any sense to him, but he just wanted to see her again.When Monday finally came, Aston could hardly wait till 3 pm when classes started, and by 12 pm, he was already at the building waiting for Dorothy to show up, but she didn’t.Class started, and she was still nowhere

In one swift moment, a bang was heard, and the whole dining table came crashing down, sending a wave of shock throw Dorothy.She had seen this happen so many times, but she could never get used to it. He promised to change.He said he was going to be better, but after two years and nothing had changed.The last time, it was the TV that suffered it, which took a while to replace, and now, the dining table had also felt the impact of Paul’s fist.The table was ruined; dinner was ruined too.“You love being a whore, eh? You love letting different men run their hands all over your body under the guise of art, right?” He barked the vile words pacing the dining room.The words made her feel she had just been prickled with over a hundred pins.“I am not a whore, Paul!. I am not! I love art, and you know it!” She yelled at him.He scoffed before he said, “Oh c’mon. You’re just using art as a cover-up. You enjoy the way these so-called artists of yours touch you.”He then grabbed her shoulder
