CARAMEL’S POV
As Paul and I settled in his car, he drove off and I felt super comfortable with him. It was better than having to see Blaze right beside me or in front of me.
“So, is there a reason you didn’t tag along with Blaze today?” Paul asked.“Uhm… Not really. I just wanted to give him the space he might need. He was with Monica.”“Oh, I see.”Suddenly, the car stopped.
“What happened?” I asked, wondering what was going on.“Shit! I think the car must have developed some fault.” He said as he went out of the car.Oh, no. I wouldn’t like to be late for any meeting because I know the CEO may not wait for us before he directs everyone and I wouldn’t want to just hear it from someone else.
I watched as Paul opened the bonnet of the car and incessant smoke came out of the engine. Then Paul came back into the car and picked up his phone.
BLAZE’S POVWe had all gotten to the beach and both Caramel and Paul were nowhere to be found.“Alright everyone. The CEO has instructed that we all take five. We will wait for Paul and Caramel to be back. They must have had some trouble.” The secretary informed us all.I hoped they were fine though, but somehow, I felt restless. I was hoping she wasn’t hitting it off with Paul just because I had sidelined her or sort. Women are known to jump over to a more caring man when one becomes less caring and trying to make her feel jealous would be less effective if she already had someone making her feel on top of the world.After waiting for what seemed like an hour, we spotted them on the beach, walking towards us. I felt relieved that she was fine and I was a bit suspicious, wondering what they had done together to be smiling at each other. As soon as they got here, I noticed that Caramel was looking somewhere else and it was Benson
CARAMEL'S POVI was in my room and I could not get the thought of seeing Benson when I least expected him.This made me feel bad and angry at Blaze for not considering my feelings. Is this how far he can go to show how childish he is? Well, this was unfair. Just because no one knew about the atrocities he committed against me didn't mean he ought to be allowed to come here without even asking me how I would feel regarding that.But even as it has happened, I just hope I won't have to see Benson alone. I do not want to be alone with him in the same space at all. I feel I could be scared out of my wits as I had such a traumatic experience with him.I really wish I had allowed the public to know about what he had done so he wouldn't have to come back here easily. Well, it was certain that Paul knew about it but I'll have to ask him later on why he didn't mention that to me.Then I called Lucas to
CARAMEL’S POV I screamed out so loud and shut my eyes tight with tears sliding down to my ear.“Leave me alone!” I continued screaming.“Caramel, Hey, caramel, what’s going on? I just want to help.” Benson said, then I opened my eyes slowly. I looked at his hand and saw no knife there.“But you were about stabbing me. I saw a knife with you. Don’t come any closer.” I said, shivering as I stared at his pocket. Then he scoffed and showed me his pockets and every other pocket in his cloth.“How would I try to stab you, Caramel?” He exclaimed as he looked at me in disbelief. Then I stood up and looked at him, startled that my mind had played tricks on me.“Well, it’s not my fault.” I said, then ran off. I was really scared back then. I thought I was doomed already as I saw him bring out the knife but I guess I was seeing the wrong thing. If he truly wanted to kill me, he wouldn’t do it in public, so I guess my mind was playing tricks on me. I ran back to my room sweating and thankful
CARAMEL’S POVI was glad that Paul had come to lighten up the atmosphere for me and as we were walking around without in silence, I felt peace within me.“I feel you and Blaze are not on good terms. What’s going on?” Paul finally broke the silence.I was surprised that Paul had also noticed that and I stared at him as I stopped in my tracks.“Is it that obvious?” I threw him that question and continued walking.“Yeah. I guess it would only be obvious to people who know how you both relate before. Right now, both of you are acting like strangers who are just getting to know each other.”Then I sighed and folded my arms as I looked down, kicking the sand a bit.“Is it because of Benson?” He asked, out of curiosity.Then I looked up at him.“Speaking of Benson, why didn’t you tell me that he was going to come here. I know he can’t come here without you having to agree to it.”“Well, about that, I apologize. I actually didn’t know how to say it to her. Blaze had decided to give him a seco
BLAZE’S POVI felt like the happiest man in the world currently because I was in a nice position with Caramel and she seemed to be talking with me without acting weird off. I stared at her as she continued speaking and when she moved, I felt electric waves in my body. More like adrenaline rush.But unfortunately, my dick had to embarrass me and spoil the moment by rising and making her feel my hard bulge. I couldn’t help myself but desire to hold her close to me like she was mine.Then I began to move my lips closer to her neck and I loved the scent of her neck, but before I got too close, Caramel wiggled out and stared at me in disbelief and one could tell that she was glaring at me as well.She raised her hand and gave me a hot hard slap.“How dare you!” She raised her voice and walked out.I watched as she was caught by Paul and heard Paul’s victorious laughter as he put his arm around her shoulder.&ldquo
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,
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 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
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
