“Yes, I love you Caramel, and I would love to be with you, for a long time.” I said as I stared into her eyes, with affection.
She looked shocked as it was obvious that she wasn’t expecting such confession from me.
“You are drunk. You do not know what you are talking about.” She said, with disbelief, written all over her face.“I know I could be drunk, but I am confessing to you, from the bottom of my heart.” I confessed again, but then she ignored me, and looked elsewhere.“Why don’t you believe me? Can’t you see that my heart beats for you?”“You must be kidding. I signed a contract with you, which frowns at relationships, and now you are telling me that you love me? I’ll take that as a joke, or I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.” She scoffed.Then I held her hand, and licked my lips.
“You make me go crazyCARAMEL'S POVI froze, and couldn't stop staring at the bottle in her hand. Why had she come all the way here for me? Ria's city was far from here. What was her deal with me.Her grip tightened on the bottle as she walked to me, quickening her pace.I knew I wasn't prepared for such a fight, so I turned and ran."No you don't get to escape." She screamed as I ran, then I felt something heavy hit my head.I let out a scream, as I saw the huge stone she had thrown.I looked back and she gained speed. I ran, touching the back of my head to see if there wasn't any blood.But, the next time I looked back, she was right behind me, and she grabbed my hair, making me fall."Stop this! If I had sued you for attempted murder, would you be here?" I asked as she pulled me back with my hair."No, I just can't help it. I hear your voice in my head, you keep mocking me! I see you and Rhys everywhere, I can't help it!" She
BLAZE POVI got back home, and bounced on my bed. I felt relieved as I had apologized to Caramel, and she accepted it.There was no problem at hand. Stephanie had been long gone, and I had settled the issue I had with Monica. There was basically no one who was giving me trouble, right now.~flashback~I went to see Monica at her house, with the intention of finding a way to stop her from blackmailing me, over our sex videos.“Oh, my goodness. It is a surprise to see you, here. Today must be my lucky day.” She said, excitedly, and I gave her a slight smile.“Well, I thought about you, and surprisingly, I was turned on.”Then she blushed, and beat me on my shoulders, in a cute way.“You are so sweet. Anyways, I am always ready for you. This is exactly what I want from you, Blaze.” She said, with a smile, and then began to unbutton her shirt.“But…
CARAMEL’S POV“I’m sorry, Benson. But I have to leave, right now. An emergency.” I said as I picked up my bag.“I hope it’s not too bad?” He asked, out of concern.“I hope so.” I said as I stood up.“Uhm… Hold on. Let’s quickly exchange numbers” He said as he handed his phone over to me.Then I typed in my number, quickly.“You can reach out to me, instead. Bye.” I said, then left.I quickly hailed a cab, and when I got down, I ran home to Blaze. As I entered the house, I noticed that a nice meal had been served on the dining table, and the house smelled of cinnamon. What was going on? I thought if it were something bad, the house could have been disarranged, but here it was, neat and clean.“Blaze? Blaze, where are you?” I called out to him as my eyes searched around for him.“Right here.” I heard him say
BLAZE POVI was glad that she had agreed to forgive me. Her asking me to recreate last night’s moment, proved that she had forgiven me, and tried to get back to the same way, we were.I began to think of what I could make, but the ideas weren’t coming. I couldn’t possibly cook the same food that I had cooked, last night. It had to be something different, and appealing.So, I checked online, but most of the food I would love to cook, seemed complicated, and difficult to get right, in a few hours.“I think its best I get that house help, now.” I said to myself.Then I got outside and drove off to an agency I knew which was known for recommending great house helps. I got to their agency, and was given a seat, by their agent.“So, you are interested in getting a house help, Mr. Nightingale.”“Yes, I am.”“Alright, do you have any specific preference?” He asked as he re
Chapter 66BLAZE POV"I said what do you mean!" I shouted at her."Before your father died, he told me that if there ever is a time when he or your mother isn't available, I should be there to encourage you on your goals, and at every stage in life. I took a blood oath with him, and that's the reason I came here, today. To encourage you on your championship, coming in." She said."I do not want to hear all those filthy talks. My father has always done the wrong thing. Come to think of it, he asked you to encourage me, not knowing what kind of woman you are. You remind me of a bitter past. I would love it if you leave right now." I said, trying my best to restrain my anger."Blaze." Caramel called my name as she held my wrist, like she was calming down."I'm right. She is a reminder of a bitter past. She doesn't deserve to speak to me that way, or think that she has a good in her.""Blaze, anyone can say good things. Even of she was ev
CARAMEL'S POVI began to run after him as I could not allow him take my phone away. As a fit person, I was able to run fast and I was ready to keep running until I was able to get him."Hey, you! Stop right there!" I shouted, while he kept running.I was almost closing in on him when he dropped the bag, and I decreased my pace, until I got to the bag."It's better as you dropped it, you annoying man!" I shouted, trying not to curse at him.Then I picked up my bag to check if everything was intact, only to find out that my phone wasn't there."Oh, shit!" I cursed, angrily.He has dropped the bag, so I would slow down, and he would have time to run far from me, but I wasn't ready to give up. I had finished paying my installment on it, not long. I couldn't suffer for it, for nothing! I began to run as fast as I could to meet up with him, and then he ran into a garage that seemed lik
CARAMEL’S POVI was frightened and didn’t know what to do as they all began to move closer to me, staring at me, and mocking me like I truly had no one who could come to my rescue.“Please do not hurt me.” I managed to speak out.“Well, well, that would depend on your co-operation, actually. People like you who are so adamant on getting things, stolen from you, we know how to deal with them. As a lady, weren’t you scared? That shows that you are a miser.”“Yes. She is, boss. For her to follow Daniel, down here, just shows how stingy she is, without minding her safety.”“No. That’s not true.” I mumbled, with tears, rolling down my cheeks.“Well, that’s what we call people who chase Daniel down to this garage.”Then my phone began to ring, continuously, and I wondered who was it, but I hoped that I would be saved. Were they going to ask for a ransom? I
CARAMEL’S POVI came back to consciousness, and slowly opened my eyes. I was overwhelmed by heat, and the air in here, was stuffy. It took a while for me to discover that I was thrown into the tank. I gasped in horror, with my hand on my mouth.These people were wicked. How could they throw me in here? This was like the worst death, ever.“Young lady, are you awake?” I heard one of them, call out to me.“Get me out of here, please. I can’t stay here for long. This is the worst way to kill me. Please get me out.” I pleaded with tears.“She is awake, already.” I overheard them, say.I didn’t know what they were going to do with that information. Had they changed their mind to let me out? If it was that, I would be really grateful.Suddenly, water began to sip into the tank, little by little. It wasn’t gushing in, but in about fifteen to thirty minutes, it would be filled up, an
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,
