CARAMEL'S POV
“ Wait what, why?” I asked, but with the way she looked at me, she doesn’t know either, the news wasn’t pleasant as I expected, neither was it for everyone as they were all whining, and mumbling words as they scampered into the crowd.
Blaze on the other hand couldn’t feel any more sorry for himself, he has been talking endlessly how badly he wanted to compete for the championship, the suspense was choking, “ blaze” I said, he barely looks at me, all he does is sigh, as he made butt plant with the sandy floor of the beach.
How do I awaken the spirit of an unmotivated man?. “ you know it’s not that bad right” I said, he peeks through is long lashes, not saying a word, it might be harder than I thought, “ it’s a good thing, the universe wants you to prepare harder, just a little bit
BLAZE POVI shouldn’t have shouted for her, it was all my fault, why!?, she didn’t do anything wrong?, oh that’s messed up, caramel would never forgive me, I don’t deserve her forgiveness, I am not her dad, why should I be worried about her whereabouts? . It’s so late, where has she gone, she wasn’t picking up my call, nor was she replying to any of the text messages. What if something happens to her, no I won’t let that happen. Picking up my phone, there might just be one more person in the world who could know her whereabouts, that’s my agent, Paul, he picks after the third ring, ‘luckily’ “Uhm, hey Paul, is caramel over there, please give her the phone” I said trying not to raise an atom of suspicion, but he fights through that facade as well, &l
BLAZE'S POVI feel a sting of jealousy as she walks away from me, the day had been so good, but this moment seems to ruin it, dropping my Fork back my appetite to continues slowly depleted, does she feel the same way I do, or she just feel platonic about everything?. I had the best day just being beside her, heaven knows if she felt the same way I did, for sure she like having me around, but as a student not one she would love to spend romantic moment with. Distracted by the sound of her approaching, readjust on me seat, watching my her seat before me, “ finish up, while it’s hot” she said giving that smile that makes my heart flutter, fraustration battle in my mind, as I watch her eat indifferently. “ caramel, I want to tell you something” I said, she pauses her food, looking at me, “ what” answers in a sharp tone, word failed me, as uneasiness settles in, standing up, she follows immediately, “ are you ok?” She asked, i wave my head confirming I was ok, but she was
CARAMEL'S POVThen a call came in for me, and it was from Paul."Hello?""Good morning, Caramel. Want to pass an information." Paul said."Alright?"My eyes widened, in surprise, and a smile crept up on my face."Sounds like it's good news to you." Blaze said, after I ended the call."Yeah, it is a good news for you and I." Caramel said, with a smile."And what news is that?" Blaze asked, out of curiosity."Well, the championship is no longer until further notice. It is now in 2 weeks time." I said, delightfully.A smile, revealing Blaze's nice set of teeth, crept up on his face, and then he laughed, clenching his fist, and throwing them in the air, happily."Yeah, it is truly good news. I am really glad about this. A very good way to start the morning." Blaze said, with a smile."Of course. Maybe the heavens want you to train more for this. I have a feeling that you will bag this championship, again, and other players would have no choice than to get the reward, lower than yours."Ye
CARAMEL'S POV"Surprised to see me?" She asked Blaze.I looked at Blaze in surprise. So, she knew him. Rosa must have let him in."Hi Maya." Blaze greeted her, but he didn't sound like he was glad to see her.Then she stood up, and walked towards us."Your new whore?" She asked, pointing at me."I am not a whore!" I said, sharply."Look Maya, she isn't. She is my coach, and I am not the man I once was,alright?""Those stories do not sit right with me, Blaze. By the way, coach or not, I believe she is a whore who just want to rip you off of your money."I got annoyed, and clenched my fists, trying to restrain myself from bursting out in anger. Then Blaze dragged her, down to the basement, and I went upstairs to my bedroom. Blaze had saved me from embarrassment, and possible jailing, so it was best if I calm down, a bit, and for now.I just hoped for the lady to be out of here, because she was already on my black list, and I hated seeing people who were on my black list, except they mad
BLAZE'S POVThere was a picture of I and Caramel at the beach, we seemed to be talking, I was staring at her, and she was laughing. There was nothing between us, but the way the photo was taken, made it looked like we were in love.I sighed, and put my hand on my head."Are you there?" Nate asked."Y…yeah… I'm there. But it's worse than you said. It really looks like we're dating. Caramel won't like this." I said, unable to tear my eyes away from the photo. Then I scrolled to the comments below. One glance at them, and I knew they were all hate comments. I wanted to stop reading but I couldn't.All the hate words were directed at Caramel, they said stuff like she stole me, snatched me, and seduced me.They dropped crying stickers, and long messages on how sad they were that their favourite tennis player was taken by a woman who didn't worth him.They all dragged Caramel hard, and I knew I had to try to keep it from her, because if she saw the post, and the comments, she wouldn't want
BLAZE'S POVI woke up very early, and went online. Caramel's phone was still on my desk where I had kept it, and I hoped she wasn't still searching for it.I called for Nate, and minutes later, he was at the door. Rosa let him in, and he came up to my room."Good thing you're here. I want these posts down." I said, and Nate made a few calls, the posts began to disappear one after the other, and Nate sat next to me."What really happened? How did that photo happen?" He asked, and I rubbed my forehead."The crazy public can really turn an innocent photo into something else." I said, and he smiled."They're thirsty for rumors they can hang onto.""That very day, a guy was trying to harrass Caramel, she was actually in a bad mood, so when she was being cranky to him, he decided to take advantage of her, and I saved her.""Some guys really behave like shit." He said, and I laughed."I still don't understand the
CARAMEL'S POVI was shocked, and moved away quickly."Benson?" I called, as I felt fear run through me. Just then, the lights came back on, and I saw Benson standing by the light switch."I'm sorry, I think that bulb malfunctioned, so I had to turn this one on." He said, and I turned to look behind me."But, how did you make it there quickly? Something brushed past me, just now." I said."Something? Are you sure? I don't have pets." He said, looking around."I felt it. It was fast." I said, and he looked around a bit before turning to me with a smile."You must be really scared of the darkness uh? Probably you were so startled, you thought you felt something." He said, but I shook my head."I definitely felt something.""Something like what?""I don't know." I said, and he laughed."Let's have some tea. Actually, are you really busy?" He asked, and I shook my head."I think I have an hour or two to spare." I said, a
BLAZE'S POV"Rosa. Have you seen Caramel?" I asked since I had gone to Caramel's room to check on her, and she wasn't there."Caramel? I'm afraid not. I just finished with the laundry." She said, and I looked around wondering where she could be.I checked the house properly, calling for her, but she didn't seem to be home."Where did she go without telling me?" I asked, and dialed her number, but it was switched off."You didn't hear her leaving or she didn't tell you anything or anywhere she's going?" I asked Rosa, and she shook her head."Maybe she went to see a friend.""She has no friends.""Then, her brother.""Oh, but it's quite late.""Since it's quite late as you said, he might have persuaded her to stay." She said, and it was reasonable, but the fact that I couldn't reach her was unsettling. Had she turned off her phone or forgotten to charge?"Thanks. I'll just see her tomorrow then. Goodnight Ros
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,
