*BLAZE*Caramel and I ran towards her room where Lucas was, only to find out that he was having a nightmare.“It wasn’t a pleasant experience, so It is expected that he is going to have nightmares, for a while, or maybe just this night.” I said.“Let me go! Let me go!” Lucas said, with sweat beads over his forehead.I could see Caramel looked hurt. Maybe she understood better on what was going on with him. Then she turned to me.“Thank you for today, once again. I think I’ll go to bed now.” She said, with a hint of sadness on her face.“Alright, take care.”I wished I could hug her, to probably console me. She was there when my parents died, but I didn’t know how to console her, especially because I didn’t know what exactly was weighing on her mind. I went back to my room, and hoped that her mood would be better, tomorrow.The next day, I got a call from Nate and I had missed the first three calls, but he kept calling me, which got me curious on what exa
*CARAMEL*After cuddling with Lucas and patting him, so he could probably feel better in his dream, I slept off. The next day, i was determined to go to Lucas' school. I needed to know the people who were bullying him and I needed to put a stop to it.I didn't tell him where we were going to, until we were near his school."You didn't need to walk me to school. I'm actually fine." He said, with a slight smile."I didn't just walk you to school. I am going to meet with those goons who have been giving you a hard time at school." I said, trying to restrain myself from showing how angry I was."Are you for real? Do you want to make things worse?" He exclaimed, with a surprised face."I should be saying that. Your nightmare was bad. It shows that they have been bullying you for long, and I didn't know anything about it. You have been acting so strong, it's time you let me handle this." I said as I walked towards his school."No. You are going to make it wors
BLAZESeeing that message made me feel like I was going be buried under the ground, so soon. Stephanie was pregnant for me, and how could Monica be pregnant for me? Then I drove as fast as I could, so as to drop Stephanie, at home.“Why are driving so fast?” She asked, looking worried.“Well, I have somewhere important to get to, right now. For now, I’ll drop you at home.” I said as I swerved to the left side of the road.~After dropping Stephanie off, I drove back to Monica’s face, and immediately she saw me, her face lightened up.“Blaze, you’re here.” She said as she ran towards me, with a smile.“What the hell did you send to me, Monica!” I said, with seriousness, written all over my face.“The truth?”“That can’t be the truth. I can’t believe I rushed over here, without thinking right. Even if you were to get pregnant, it can’t be so soon. You can’t even find out so soon.”“Alright, alright, I tricked you. I just wanted to have you by my side, today.”
*CARAMEL* "I heard something." I said, quietly. But Blaze's expression showed how shocked he was, and I came back to my senses that I was so close to him, and my finger was on his lips. "Uhm... I'm sorry." I apologized as I felt how wrong it was of me, to place my index finger on his lips. "It's... it's fine. S... so you know who got her pregnant?" He asked. I didn't know why he was so interested in that, but I wasn't really interested in letting him know that I knew that he was the one who impregnated her. It wasn't my business and it wasn't necessary that he knew that I knew of it. "Who else, if not your father? Well, I'm certain she's not feeling too lonely, since she is being taken care of, here." I said, with a slight smile. Then I heard a car's honk. I looked at my window, and wondered who was allowed into Blaze's compound. Although, the car looked familiar. "Oh, my God." I gasped in surprise. "What?" Blaze asked as he joined me to look at the window. "Who the hell is
*BLAZE* Stephanie was really getting me annoyed. How could she bring Mr. Paul over, to stay for the night! It felt as if she was trying to match them together, which wasn't cool at all. I couldn't do anything, because she had what she could use, against me. It was hard to get myself to sleep, so I just laid on the bed, waiting for the time I would fall asleep. ~ The next day, I saw Caramel, escorting Mr. Paul from my window, and I went downstairs. Stephanie was standing in front of the dining, looking happy. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" I asked, trying to restrain my anger. "I'm doing what I wish to, and it isn't bad." She said, with a smile, that disgusted me so much. "Wow. Really? Look, I own this house, and because you got something on me doesn't mean you should keep disrespecting me, and be bringing in a stranger." "Mr. Paul isn't a stranger, he is Caramel's boyfriend, and in fact, he would soon be her fiancè." She chuckled. I felt so angry, but I clenched
CARAMEL 'S POVHe looked at me like he didn't understand what I was saying."Don't mind me. Just commented upon seeing how you check her room first thing when you come home." I said looking at Stephanie's door."It's just an habit." He replied and looked around."She's gone. " I said and he turned to look at me. "What do you mean she's gone?" He asked and I put a hand in my pocket."She's not returning." I said as I sat on the bed, then I smiled at him.FLASHBACK.*****I had gone to talk to Stephanie because I didn't like the way she talked to me. However, before I could knock, I heard her laughing and talking, she seemed to be on a phone call and I heard her ask."Blaze and Caramel?" I thought fast. Who was she talking to about us. With fumbling hands, I fished my phone out of my pocket and took it to the sound recorder, pressing it against the door."Don't worry, I have them in my grasp, Blaze thinks I'm pregnant for him and his coach is too much of a coward to bear how her poor
CARAMEL'S POVWhen I realized I had been staring at him for some seconds, I made to move and at exactly that moment, he also chose to move and that resulted in our second clashing and this time around, it caused my phone falling to the floor with a loud sound.I bent to pick it up."Oh my. I'm sorry." He said and I shook my head."No it's fine. It's just a..." I said and my face fell with a sigh. "Cracked screen." I completed and he looked at the phone."I'm really sorry. It's my...""No no, it's fine. I'll just go pick this." I said raising the phone and I left him so I could pick up Liam's call."Hey Liam? What's up?" I asked and he replied sounding happy."I just wanted to check on you because my day is going great and I wondered if yours is going great too." He said and I smiled."Turns out my day is going perfectly fine too, except for a little hitch." I said thinking about the cracked screen that would have to make an unnecessary appearance in my tight budget."What's that?" He
CARAMEL'S POV"What did you say?" She asked but I didn't reply. I hated people who tried to intimidate me or people who think they were it all.I knew at that moment, I had made my point that I wasn't like the rest of the girls who might feel intimidated by her.As I was about to leave, I ran into Gerald who I assumed worked for Rhys."Miss. Rhys asks to see you." He said and I didn't know when I let out a sigh. I wasn't the type who went around looking for trouble but then I also wasn't the type to lay low because someone told me to."Where's he?" I asked and he pointed."Just over there." He said and I saw Rhys sitting on a large rock looking around.I went to him and he held up the phone."Would you like to check it to see if your things are still complete?" He asked and I sat and took my phone."There's been a lot of missed calls. Why didn't you pick any of them?" I asked still staring at Liam's name and clicking on it."I don't pick people's calls." He said and I looked at him."
BLAZE’S POVI watched as someone who was at Caramel’s back, hit her neck and got her unconscious. I was angry, but I decided to hold back to know where they were heading to. I couldn’t afford to mess this up because of my feelings.I followed them with my car and drove even through the bad roads. Why did they have to pick a place that is as bad and weird as this? Anyways, those who do abduct people and do bad things look for places like this to carry out their bad works.As soon as they got to their hideout, I called the cops as I could not get into the house without them, noticing me. Then I dialed Maya’s number.“Hello Blaze. He just called me.”“Good. I’m at the hide out, but you do not need to go. I have called the cops already, so you don’t have to worry about it.”“Oh, alright then. I await good news.”“Sure. Thank you so much for this. I have forgiven y
BLAZE’S POV“Since I started working for you, you have always been the reason behind my troubles. I have always been tortured and treated badly because of you.”“Caramel.”“But even with that, you have always saved me, come through for me and try to clean up the mess that was made. I think this is the fight one has to fight to be with a celebrity and I have made my decision, which is to stay, stand and fight with you. If others left you because of this or other reasons, I will stay. And, I will renew my contract with you and prove them wrong. I will let them know that you can win another championship and that I can be the best coach ever. For now, help me find my brother.” She said as a tear, strolled down her chin.My heart beamed with joy and was accompanied with a smile. I hugged her tight and felt so happy that she didn’t push me away this time. The joy I was feeling presently was enough for me to bash anyon
CARAMEL’S POVI rushed out of the cinema, pacing around and waiting for Blaze to come out. As soon as he came out, I opened his car door, but he grabbed my arm.“Caramel, be calm.” He said.“Don’t tell me to be calm! That boy has only me and it is my duty to always protect him.” I said as I withdrew my arm from him and got into his car.Tears ran down my cheek and I sniffed as I couldn’t bear the thought of Lucas killed. He wasn’t supposed to be abducted. What did he do to deserve this? How could I live with a burdened heart?Blaze got into the car and then started the car and we drove off.“Look Caramel. Let’s get to your place first to confirm if he was really abducted or not.” Blaze suggested.Then I nodded and hoped that it was a prank even when 70% of me felt it wasn’t. As soon as we got to my house, I opened the door and saw everywhere scattered. I fell to the gro
BLAZE'S POVThe next day, I woke up feeling better and in a good mood. I smiled at Caramel who was still deep in her sleep. She looked like so cute that I could kiss her until eternity.I decided to leave her room quietly as I wanted to make her a meal myself for a surprise. I didn't win the championship but I had won Caramel's heart and that was still a win for me. Her golden heart which was rare to find was now mine.I got out of the room and walked down the stairs. As I got to the kitchen, I was startled by Rosa whom I didn't notice was in the kitchen."I'm sorry I startled you, Mr. Nightingale." She apologized, with a slight smile."Oh, it's fine."As I disregarded that, I recalled that I had asked Rosa to leave when I needed to speak to Caramel. Certainly, she would have been worried about the outcome and could have wondered why we were no longer saying anything.
CARAMEL’S POVWas this a dream? Moments like this most times happen in movies. Could I be in one? There was no way a billionaire would look at me and tell me he loves me. I have also been harsh to him. There is no way Blaze Nightingale will tell me he loves me.“Please drop the act.” I said as I disengaged from him. Then I looked into his eyes with sadness. “I know you are just trying to make me not to think about the fact that I am not competent enough, but that can’t work. If you feel you are wasting your money by paying me even when I didn’t help you bag the championship, you are free to withhold my payment.” I said, with pain and then dragged my luggage, heading for the door.But then, Blaze grabbed my arm and held my face as he locked eyes with me. In his eyes, I could see sincerity, innocence, love, care and desire.“Allow yourself to feel the love you have for me, because the love I have for you can not be
BLAZE’S POVI watched as part of the crowd cheered for my opponent as he jumped up in victory. My racket fell from my hand and I felt dejected.Earlier on, I had watched as his girlfriend had given him a kiss and encouraged him with love. All through, I couldn’t help but feel guilty for making Caramel go through a lot and her attitude towards me and I found myself missing every ball thrown at me because I was either lost in thought or I was too slow to catch it after snapping out of my thoughts.Suddenly, I remembered Caramel. She wasn’t around here. Could she have ran off feeling bad that I had failed and lost? I left the tennis court and ran out but was swamped by reporters.“Mr. Nightingale, we heard of how you were not fully focused at the tennis court, are you alright?” One of them threw a question at me.“Yes I am.” I answered, trying to get out of the crowd.“Some allegations are made against
BLAZE’S POVIt was a new day and the D-day that I had been waiting for a long time. I was going to give today my best and ensure that I make my mom proud wherever she was. As soon as I was done having my bath, I went to the sitting room, waiting for Caramel to be done.I expected that she was going to take a longer time than I expected as I knew women do take time in getting prepared for an outing but she came out in about two minutes.I was stunned at her beauty and her preparedness was visible. In the last few days, I had spent my time thinking about how much I had offended her and endangered her life. If only she could give me another chance to make things right.Yeah, today was the D-day and the day I have been on my toes for a while but even as it was here, I wasn’t feeling elated. I had mixed feelings and I wished Caramel would hug me and tell me encouraging words. She was the one I cherished after my mother and my mother never failed to
CARAMEL’S POVNow, it was clear to me that having any form of close relationship with Blaze would only endanger me and my brother still needed me more than anything in this world. I also needed to achieve my dreams before giving up the ghost.“Hey Caramel. You have been discharged. Let’s go back.” Paul said, with a smile on his face.I smiled back at him and got down from the bed.“Alright, I am ready to go.”“I’m glad you are much better. You really need to cut yourself some slack at times, okay?”“Sure, I will. And I will be more careful, next time. I bet they would have done more games without me.”“Come on, no one is as heartless as you might think right now. They all took five.” Paul smiled and ruffled my hair.“Wow. I feel loved.”Paul and I took a cab back to the beach and everyone was dismissed to have a long nap before we started again
BLAZE’S POV“Caramel! Caramel, wake up!” I called out her name and shook her body in anxiety but she wasn’t moving.Then I turned to Monica.“What the hell did you do that for!” I raised my voice at her.I could tell she was startled as she covered her mouth with her hands, looking shocked at Caramel who wasn’t moving an inch.“If something happens to her, just have it in mind that you’ll be going to jail.” I threatened her, with anger.Then I touched her neck to be sure if she was still breathing or not and to my relief, she was still breathing. Immediately, I carried her back to the beach and those who had given up saw me from afar and ran towards me.“What happened to her?” Paul asked, looking alarmed.“She tripped and fell hard but it seems she passed out.” I replied as I handed her over to him.I called the ambulance as fast as I could and,
