“Hey Harp, are you ready?” I shouted.
“I said five minutes, two minutes ago,” she shouted back.
“Well, hurry. I need to be early. Romans in not very pleased with me after last night and being late is not an option today,”
“The more reason for me to get my own car,” she shouted, running down the stairs. "The problem would be solved."
“Come on, you can wear your shoes in the car.”
“Wait, hold up,” she stopped.
“Why?” I groaned, looking at her. "What did you forget now?"
“Is that a new shirt?” she grinned at me.
“No, it’s been in my cupboard for years,” I

Kioni James: That’s not what I meant. I waited for him to respond. I was embarrassed enough when I suggested a rain check of whatever happened last night. I’m not sure if it was a date but it felt like one and I enjoyed spending time with him. I felt bad that I responded to his morning message so late in the afternoon, but I really needed time to process it. His sister has asked a lot of questions which I don’t blame her for, but I couldn't answer because I don’t know the answers to them myself. Are you sure your name is just K as in one letter K? What is the reason you can’t share? Does your ID only show the letter K? She meant well but I was grateful James ma

Harper James was different, he smiled more, and he was like a love-struck idiot. I have never seen him act this way with a girl before, especially one who is as mysterious as K is. James already warned me to stop being nosy, but I couldn’t help myself. There was something familiar about her from James’ drawings from years back. I was going to find out and all I needed to do was go through some of James’ old drawings to be sure. My gut was telling me I had seen her before and for the past two weeks had been bashing my head trying to remember why James’ mystery girlfriend was familiar. I remembered the old sketches and I was not going to rest until I found them. Everything about her was the same. I needed to see the drawings and prove my theory. The way James drew her was almost the same, especially her eyes; they had a lot of similarities.

James I am terrible at being a supportive big brother. I just can’t seem to believe she is a grown woman and old enough to date. I’m being unreasonable for trying to get between her and Conrad. I’m practically pursuing a girl and it's way too obvious that everyone appears to have noticed a change. I really should try and be more open and try to be level-headed about her relationship and not be a jerk. Me: I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have scared your boyfriend. I will try to be more welcoming next time. I sighed after I texted her as I walked out of the house. I got into the car and there was a buzz. Harper: Fine. You’re still a jerk. I smiled as I drove off the driveway. My focus shi

James “Oh my God,” she gushed, “What? How?” she clamped her mouth with both hands. I was really proud of myself because her reaction was exactly what I was aiming for. She was awestruck and I could see her staring in shock. We were at Springs Beach but this time I arranged a secluded place to have dinner. The setting was beautiful and more than what I expected in less than ninety minutes I had called and arranged this. We were both staring at a white draped gazebo with enough space for a table setting for two. Lights were illuminating around at the top, bottom, on all four corners. “James,” she looked at me as she walked in. I smiled as I looked at her, my heart thrumming. I loved how my name swirled in her tongue. I looked at the lamps that were dangling on top and I noticed they threw in a heater because it was a little chilly. “Do you like it?” I asked sheepishly. “I- ” her mouth was still agape. “Come on, sit,” I chuckled at her loss of words. I held a chair for her as she

James There was no denying the attraction between us because the kiss we shared was like something I have never experienced before. My thumb hand lingered on her cheek for far too long before she looked at me and I was lost in her eyes. We were both lost in each other’s gaze. She was indeed beautiful and the silence between us made the pull much stronger because everything else didn’t matter as I drew my lips closer to hers. I kissed her and she was stiff only for a second before she parted her lips and kissed me back. I don’t know how long the kiss lasted but I didn’t want it to end but she eventually pulled back looking at me with her unreadable eyes. Did she regret it? I certainly didn’t? She created space between us as she fell silent cle

Kioni James had listened and he wasn’t looking at me with pitiful eyes. His eyes had compassion and I felt a lump in my throat. I didn’t plan on telling him about the accident but felt I needed to explain myself. This was not coming from a place where I needed his pity but because of the kindness he had shown which deserved some honesty. “Thank you.I’m sorry.” he said with a warm smile, I’m sorry for what happened to you” He looked at me no differently than I pulled my hand away from his. He nodded silently as if understanding and I spoke again. “I have a lot going on and it won’t be fair to you if we start a relationship. Don’t think-,” “I understand,” he cut me off, “I know you feel something and the kiss we shared earlier it’s-“ he paused

James A week has passed. Harper was still mad at me because she met with Nigel at the mall last Saturday. She spent the rest of the week going to college alone. She barely spoke over ten words to me. It was not my intention after she had left with a warning not to meddle, but as I was on my way to my date. I had a call with Nigel and had mentioned her date and the warning. Nigel is like me. Protective. He did the exact thing I would have done on my behalf and I’m grateful, but now we are facing the wrath of a teenager in love. Nancy suggested we have lunch at their place today so we can be more supportive and have time to know Conrad. She also warned that if we became hostile, she would take it upon herself to make things harder for Nigel and me. "Harper!" I shouted. "Come on, we g

Kioni “What?” I blushed, smiling. “You’re beautiful,” James grinned as he grabbed my hand. “Are you sure this dessert will be fine?” I asked, lifting the cheesecake tray trying to hide my tomato face. “Are you trying to hide that pretty face from me?” he stopped at the door. “It’s your fault for making me blush so much. It's embarrassing, you know,” I giggled a little. “You love it,” he grinned, pecking the corner of my lips. “Behave, we need to get in,” I said. "James!" I whisper, hoping no one sees us. “Hm,” he paused, grabbing the round dish from me, “It’s your fault for being so gorgeous. I can't help myself.” He grinned before parting his lips, and he kissed me on the mouth. The door opened and a male voice cleared his throat as James groaned. “Not now, Nigel.” he never parted his lips that I had to pull back and bury my face on his chest underneath his jacket. “Look who's behaving like a teenager,” Nigel chuckles. “Come on, you two, everyone is here.” “In a minute,” J

KioniTrue happiness is what I felt. We were sitting having breakfast before the guys left the table, one after the other. It was all so weird. I looked around the table and everyone seemed to be oblivious. I wanted to go check what was happening outside, but the girls stopped me and began having a conversation about what we had for our dinner last night.“I should get the recipe and make this for Wayne.”“I’m not a skilled cook, but I loved the sauce.” Dani added.“That meat was so tender.” Gaby smiled.“Mhh, it was melting in my mouth.” Faith chided.“Faith ate for two.” Harper laughed&ldq

HarperA few months later,I had made some progress and was ready for this holiday. Tomorrow is going to be a big day. I looked at my suitcases and gleefully smiled.“Harper!”“Coming,” I shouted. I ran down the stairs. “What?” I scoffed.Sam has been my bodyguard. This was not by choice. It was annoying. I preferred the other guard, though I don’t remember his name. He never talked much. Unlike Sam, who takes every chance to speak.“You have a visitor,” he said. “Make it quick. We have to leave soon. I’m not getting in trouble because of you.”“

AdamWith my injured leg and James’ injured shoulder, we almost struggled to keep Harper steady. Her strength was almost impossible to rear.“Thank you.” James said with a sigh.“Don’t mention it.”“It’s over.”“Yeah, it is,” I said, looking at the car where Nick was.“I should go with her to the hospital.”“I’m right behind you.” I nodded.James and my sister left with Harper in the same ambulance. Sebastian, Morgan and Gaby had also gone ahead. We were all being taken to Dawson Hospital

SebastianLesson learnt. Nick was just as canny as his father. He kept surprising me. He had an army. Over twenty men, I'm sure. He knew we were coming. He was prepared. I didn’t do enough to catch him. I should have followed the money theory harder. If I was aware of how vigorous he was, things would have been different. We wouldn’t be in this situation. Nick was worse than his father.“You two stay here. Help is almost here. I have to get in there.”“Don’t get killed,” Adam said.“Be careful,” Nigel said.I gave them both a nod and moved. I was a little rusty, but I prayed I could manage. I ran inside, dodging all the bullets. Before I got in, I saw him ducking his head. Nigel had my back.

NickHiring people to take Kioni to the mansion was a plan in the works for a long time. All the months of planning and watching from afar were necessary. I was going to take Kioni either way. She belonged to me. They all underestimated me. Underestimating the love I felt for her. She was mine, and I was going to make it crystal clear.Everything was set. I was prepared for a fight. One of two things was going to happen. Kioni was going to come to me or I was going to go take her. No army of guards was going to stop me because I had an army of my own. An army I spent a lot of money on and they were the best.Charles taught me one thing that stuck with me. Being resourceful and passionate enough to grasp the moment. My moment was now staring at me. They really made it easy for me. We were going to get married. She looked stunning in that

HarperThey always sideline me. As much as they were, I was involved in this as well. I would be devastated if something happened to Kioni or Gaby. I was actually devastated. That’s why when they were leaving, I followed them.I jumped into Morgan’s car with the bodyguard. He didn’t even know his boss had left with the others when I told him to drive. We were not really seeing eye to eye because the drive started off in an argument.“You know you are going to get me in trouble,” he eyed me with the corner of his eye.“I don’t care. Just drive.” I yelled.“I don’t even know where they went.” he yelled back.“They must have driven pa

KioniMy head hung low from a chair. I opened my eyes and looked around. My hands were chained to a chair. I sat straight and looked around.“Gaby!” I shouted. She was lying on the floor. “Gaby. Wake up.”“You are awake,” Nick emerged from behind me. “How do I look?”“What are you doing?” I asked him, “What did you do to her?”“Come on, Kiki,” he laughed, “This is what we always wanted.”“I don't want this.” I creased my face in disgust. “I know everything you did to me.”“I did nothing you didn’t want.” he walked a

MorganMy phone was ringing, but it was not on the nightstand. It was ringing somewhere on the floor close to the door; I think. My head was pounding like crazy. Someone shaking me made me open my eyes. I blinked a couple of times, hoping the room would stop spinning.I stumbled off the bed and looked around. There were two women in my bed and one on the floor. I did not know what was going on. The ringing was so loud. All I wanted was to go back to bed. Sleep off the dizzy.“Make it stop.” the woman on the floor stirred.I moved to find my phone. I had no idea what the hell was happening. When I got my phone, I almost threw it on the floor. I wanted to hurl. I scrunched and answered the call.

SebastianThe shouting inside was hurting my ears even as I stood outside smoking. I don’t even know how they all ended up shouting like that. They have all drifted, of course, from the actual issue.Morgan’s idea made sense. Nick would do anything to get to Kioni. All this time we had focussed on that factor. We had her protected at all times that it was difficult for him to try something. That’s why he easily spotted the weaker spot.Harper.How many weak spots could he see? I drew a big puff and stared at nothing. I wish I could drown all the noise. Prison was usually peaceful at this time of the night. Their annoying fighting was actually making me miss the serenity.“I thought you had gone home,” I to
