BLAZE'S POV"Caramel?" Pascal asked and his gaze switched to Caramel. "You dating her or what?" He asked and I stood up."Nah. But I've got my eye on her." I said walking towards her."That's not really a surprise to me Blaze, I doubt you'll ever change." I heard Pascal say with a laugh and I smiled."I'm thirsty." I said to her when I got to her. She looked around when she didn't see any bottle water. She put her hands on her waist."Am I your manager or what?" She asked and I laughed. "I thought I saw you drinking water earlier. Pascal gave you a bottle." She said and I raised a brow."You saw? Have you actually been watching me? Why? Are you suddenly interested now that we're around pretty girls?" I asked and she shook her head."Don't say nonsense. " She said and then looked behind me. "Where's the water? I'm quite thirsty." She said and I put my hands in my pockets and watched her."We're sharing water now? We've gotten to that point where..." I was saying but she interrupted m
BLAZE'S POV I heard the commotion and looked back only to see everyone running to Monica. She was injured badly. I went to her like everyone else and she looked at me and held onto my arm. "How bad is it?" Mr Firth asked her and tears welled up in her eyes. "Where's the first aid box?" Mr Firth asked and I saw Nephenia yelling at Caramel, I wanted to react but she left for the first aid box. She came back minutes later and we treated Monica's leg. "Help me lift her Blaze." Mr Firth said and I lifted Monica but felt uneasy because Caramel had left, Nephenia had followed with the box and shortly, Rhys followed. That part made me uneasy as I felt he had some kind of interest in Caramel. "Lay her down here." Mr Firth said and I dropped Monica in the tent. "How's it?" I asked and she looked at me. "It hurts a lot but now you're asking, it hurts less." She said and I tried not to roll my eyes at her. "Nice to hear that." I said without meaning it and left the tent. ~ CARAMEL'S P
BLAZE'S POV After Mr Firth 's speech, we all went to sit in different places. Practice had just gone wrong throughout the whole day. I looked around for Caramel but I couldn't find her. "But she was right beside me." I said to myself as I continued to search for her. "Oh my. I'm so exhausted. Today has just been so dramatic." I heard Ria say as she and some of the girls sat. "I need a cool drink." Sadie said sitting on another side a bit far from them. "Pity the coolest thing we can get here is salt water."Ria said and the girls laughed. "Camp is going quite well. I'm enjoying everything here." Nephenia said as she took a photo on her phone. The girls continued to chat and I thought it pointless to listen to their conversation but after some minutes of talking, I heard them mention Caramel's name and I started to listen in on them again. "Yeah what's up with those two?" Bianca one of the girls hoping to be picked for the championship said. " I thought he was your boyfriend. "Ne
CARAMEL'S POV His smile was as beautiful as sunshine peeping from behind the clouds and I had to blink and look away from it. "Are you for real? Like, you're not gonna take it back? You're dating me now?" He asked in a rush. "Just a pretense." I said as he had skipped that part now. "I can't believe you're my girlfriend. Now the day when I'm finally free from Ria is so near I can actually see it, she's such a terror." He said and it forced laughter out of me. "Alright so we need to..." I started to say but he interrupted. "What made you change your mind? You were so adamant and firm about it." He said and I sighed. "Do you want the truth, half truth or a lie?" I asked and he put a finger on his lips as though he was thinking and a smirk lit up his face as he stared at me. "All? Let's listen to the lie first." He said and I sat up straight. "I wanted to get back at her for saying stupid things about me." I said and he laughed. "You really don't need to mind Ria, she's all mout
CARAMEL'S POVI looked at the comments underneath it. He had posted it just last night but the comments were mind blowing. It had 18k likes and it was still counting.The comments were stuff like:"Oh my she's so beautiful.""You and Ria are done?""When did you break up with my sweet pumpkin, don't tell me you broke her heart.""She's a beauty. You have an eye for the good things in the world.""I liked you and Ria together though. Although she seems to be fun.""We weren't informed of the Break up with Ria, as of last night she posted a sweet picture of you guys with an even sweeter caption.""Isn't that Blaze's coach?"I sighed and dropped my phone. It wasn't good. I just wanted something quiet and now everyone thought me to be Rhys' girlfriend.Ria was the only one in the camp who was allowed to know but somehow, I had reached the other cities, he owed me an explanation."Oh my God, What's that?" Sadie asked taking up my phone but before I could stop her, she had scrolled to the p
CARAMEL'S POVI looked at him when he said that but there were no signs of him joking."She signed..." Rhys was saying but I stepped in between them."Uh.. go on Rhys. I'll talk to Blaze and be right back." I said and Rhys looked at me, nodded, then glanced at Blaze before turning and leaving.I took Blaze's hands and led him where we were out of sight."What contract did I sign with you? No dating? That wasn't in the contract." I said and he put his hands in his pockets."Really? You seriously mean you don't remember something you read? Or you didn't read it?" He asked flatly and I remembered there was truly a no dating clause in the contract."Okay. I remember there was a no dating clause in the contract but it was you, I was told not to be in a relationship with you. Strictly you and not other people." I said and he scoffed."I guess this is why contracts' terms and conditions are to be thoroughly read before they are signed. I'll ask my manager for proof Caramel and that's if you
CARAMEL'S POVI knew my heart was beating like crazy as he leaned in close. Even if I didn't have feelings for him, he still had a way of taking my breath away.Finally he spoke and I closed my eyes."You owe me .... " He said and paused. I opened my eyes and he continued. "...a stay in my tent for the night." He said completing his sentence. I couldn't believe him. I pushed him away and he laughed. "No way!" I said sitting up."Yes way or I'm destroying your little act." He said like a kid."Are you really not just a kid trapped in a man's body?" I asked and he shook his head with a smile."I didn't ask you to sleep with me, I told you to stay with me." He said and for some reason I looked around."How can you tell me to stay for the night? I have a boyfriend. What do you expect people to say when I step out of your tent first thing early in the morning?" I whispered fiercely."He's not even a real boyfriend." He whispered in return.I really couldn't believe he was telling me to st
BLAZE'S POVI had slept well and it seemed the day would be nice but it turned out it wasn't.Even though I knew they were just faking it. Watching them behave like lovers annoyed me and I just wished they'd stop already.Caramel seemed to really enjoy being with Rhys and I compared how she behaved when she was with Rhys to how she behaved when she was with me. There was a clear difference."Wow. And you saw this coming Blaze." Pascal said coming to warm up next to me."Saw what coming?" I asked and he tilted his head in the direction of Blaze of Caramel."Them being lovers. You noticed it when he was staring at her." He said with a smile and I wanted nothing but to wipe that smile off his face."Caramel doesn't like him." I said and he looked at me. "I know who she likes." I said and loved the look on his face."Could it be you?" He asked and I smirked."Chill man, I didn't say anything like that." I said but he didn't stop looking at me which made me smile because I knew very soon,
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,
