THE CONQUEST LIST CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
MAKING DECISIONS,BUTTERFLY LODGE, 7PM.Stacey opened up the door for Robin to come in and asked, "What happened, why did you come back so late? Classes ended about two hours ago, I asked John and he also had no idea where you had gone.""I'm sorry to have gotten you all worked up. After Andrew and I dropped Jack off, he took me over to his uncle's house," Robin answered as she took off her wristwatch and shoes."What did you say? He took you to his Uncle's house?""Yeah and you know what's worse he introduced me to them as his girlfriend, I don't even like this guy, so how could I possibly be his girlfriend?""That's not what you're portraying, you know?" Stacey asked with a teasing look."What do you mean?""All you've been doing for the past two weeks is talking about him and what he did. Look don't get me wrong, I know Andrew very well, he might seem like a bad guy, given his previous reputation with girls, but I really don't think he's playing around this time.""Why not?""He ha

THE STRATEGYBUTTERFLY LODGE, 6AM."Ding dong," the sound of the doorbell went off, which had Stacey getting up from her bed and wiping her face, being a light sleeper she had the tendency to wake up at the slightest disturbance compared to Robin who was a deep sleeper and was still asleep above her on the bunk bed."Ding dong," the bell went off and this time Robin woke up and asked while wiping her eyes, "who is it so early in the morning? Are you expecting anyone Stace?""Yeah, remember I told you we were gonna be having a new roommate? She's probably the one at the door, she texted me yesterday and said she'll be coming today. Sorry I didn't tell you, it skipped my mind, I'll just go check if it's her," Stacey replied in a croaky voice as she yawned.Robin got down the stairs of the bed and followed Stacey to the door. They opened it up to see a pretty brunette holding two red suitcases and a black handbag. She had on a red dress with minimal make up and red heels and everything s

FIRST DAY AT WORK.THE BRAVES, CLUB, ANDREW'S OFFICE."Hello gorgeous, you're welcome to The Braves. I hope you're brave enough anyway," Miller said with a wink to Robin."Thanks, I'll surely do my best," Robin replied with a smile."Let's go Miller, we have a lecture to attend, remember? See you later man," Joe said as he dragged Miller along with him out of the office.After the door clicked shut, Andrew pinned his eyes on Robin as he walked towards where she stood with her hands clutching the straps of her backpack at the corner of the room.Taking steps backwards at every step he made, she said, "Uhm, I received the letter and I came here to say that I accept the assistant position.""Really? What about what I asked you to think about? What is your answer?" He asked as he came close to her, with his hands beside her shoulders on the wall.Realizing how close they were now and feeling his minty breath on her face, she tried to escape from under his arms, but Andrew held her back."

SO MUCH FOR EYE ROLLS?ANDREW'S OFFICE, THE. BRAVES CLUB, 10:30PM.Andrew took the coffee from Robin and said, "You don't have to be upset about what Jenna said, I know her very well, those are just harmless threats, just forget it. Damn, this coffee tastes amazing," he said with a satisfied look on his face."I'm not worried, I mean you are the one who has come after me, I didn't steal you from anybody. I'm glad you like the coffee anyways, you said you and I are gonna be going out, where are we going?""It's a secret, you just have to pack up your things and follow me. Take today as your freetime to do whatever you want, from tomorrow, work will be as it should be. I'm sure you must have seen the posters of the Regional Gaming Competition for all colleges in the country, I'd like you to come up with some ideas for the game we would submit for this competition by the end of this week.""Wow, really? Thanks for giving me this opportunity, I really appreciate it. I promise to do my be

PICNICS AND OLD FLAMES, PART ONEHEARTS PRIVATE PARK, 10 AM"Why the hell did you bring me here? I clearly stated that this isn't a date," Robin queried once again while pointing at the private park for picnicking, where they had stopped.Andrew took her hands in his and said, "relax, there's no need to get all worked up. I brought us here to have a picnic and to get to know each other better. You know you should be glad to have a hotshot prodigy like me taking you out on a picnic," Andrew combed his fingers through the front of his gelled back hair."Oh please, we are not in the office now Drew, so I can decide whether I want to stay for this picnic or not. Just so you know I don't," Robin folded her hands over her bosom, with a serious look.Andrew eyed her chest, where her hands were folded and took off his eyes from her ridden up breasts, before answering, "Come on Rob, you're the first girl I'm ever taking out on a picnic. Okay, why don't you see this as a picnic for two friends,

ISSUESACHIEVER'S UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, PENNY'S CAFE, 7:00PM.Clara walked into the cafe, Stacey had directed her to, she figured it must be owned by a lady, given it's name.Robin had come back to the hostel in a very bad mood and she and Stacey decided to brighten her mood with some ice cream and snacks.She smiled to herself after coming in, the cafe had a homey feeling with the aroma of cakes and coffee, filling the air. She made her way to the counter to make her order and there stood a blonde woman, probably in her early thirties, with a beaming smile, she had on a black apron with the Cafe's name inscribed on it and she figured, she was probably Penny, given the name tag with Penelope at the top of the apron."Hello, what can I help you with?" Penny asked."I'd like a large bowl of ice cream, three packs of potato chips and chocolate chips, please," she answered."Sure, you can take a seat while I pack it up for you."Clara turned to look around the place, she noticed was e

BUTTERFLY LODGE, 6:45AM.CONFRONTATIONS"You're the light, you're the nightYou're the colour of my blood.You're the cure, you're the pain,You're the only thing I wanna touch...," Came the ring tone of Robin's phone, which had her getting up from her sweet sleep.Without checking the caller ID, she answered the call with a groggy voice, "Hello, Robin speaking.""How are you sweet Robin, I'm terribly sorry to wake you up so early, but I had a lot to handle at home yesterday and wasn't chanced to ask how you picnic date with Drew went," came the voice on the other line.Robin quickly took a look at the caller ID from her sleepy eyes and read Margie, she quickly got up and thought to herself, ' so Drew actually told her it was a date?' and answered instead, "It's no problem, you actually helped me to wake up early, I've got some morning lectures today. The date was perfect, I especially liked the cupcakes, your baking is excellent. It actually reminded me of my mum, she was a baker.""

THE COLD HARD TRUTH.FACULTY OF DESIGNING, 8AM.Andrew led Robin all the way to an empty lecture room and finally stopped when they got in. "What the hell was that about? You didn't have to go all macho on John like that. He is my friend and I understand him more than you or anyone else could. He..." Robin queried."Your friend? Can't you see that Stacks is no friend to you at all. If he were truly your friend, there's absolutely no way he would have insulted you like that, how can you still take his side in all this?""That's my problem, it has absolutely nothing to do with you okay? John was only hurt by the fact that I didn't tell him about my supposed relationship with you, I've known John for so long, we tell each other almost everything. He was only being protective and he's just like a brother to me, you had absolutely no right to hit him like that. He is entitled to feel bad that I hid such a big thing from him and that's why he lost his cool.""I'm pretty sure what Stacks fee

ONCE AGAINTWO YEARS LATER...ACHIEVERS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, 2 PMROBIN'S POVPaying the designated driver, I got out of the car with my handbag and waited for him to get the rest of my luggage from the car trunk.After ensuring that all my things were out, I thanked him before he drove off.Looking at the environment around me, I smiled as I took in the beautiful decorations of AUT. The beauty of this college seemed to have augmented since the last time I was here two years ago.After admiring the college entrance for about two full minutes, I took out my phone to call Stacey. She and I were still in touch even though I was away in London for the past two years.The previous week when I informed her of the fact that I was done with the graphic designing training that Uncle Joe had enrolled me for and that I was gonna be coming back to AUT, she had screamed in unconcealed excitement and promised to pick me up at the school gate when I arrived.When she had said that, I had asked

RINGS AND KNIVESTHE BEEHIVE ARENA, 12 NOON."Yes, you heard me correctly guys, Robin is more qualified than anyone else to play for us in virtual football. I got to know about her amazing skills on the night of our app launch party. She and I played together and she almost beat me, in fact, we eventually settled at equal scores. I think she was going easy on me that night. You know me, I'm not the type to admit that anyone else is better than me, so it takes a lot of courage for me to give Robin this role. If there's anyone who isn't in support of this, please indicate," Andrew said seriously."Jack has told me about her amazing skills, but I never thought she could beat you at your best sport, Drew. If you think she's good, then she must be." Miller teased while laughing."Shut up Mill," Joe playfully hit Miller's shoulder while laughing."Team leaders from The Gators, The Believe Team and Team Ice, please bring your players to the tournament corner. The tournament for third place w

ROBIN?"And 1. Programmers, please proceed. You have thirty-five minutes to finish all fifty questions. Remember to use at least forty seconds for each question," Alan announced.The Bravers as well as other teams quickly gathered around three computers and started working on the first ten questions.Andrew sat in front of the system for problem-solving while the other Bravers sat behind the two other systems for offence and defence."It seems like Andrew Grey's team are more relaxed this year and their speed this time is also very good," Linda, one of the commentators remarked."Yes, you're right Linda. Oh, wait, it seems like Team Ice is trying to launch an attack on The Braves, but of cause they are quick enough to defend it. It seems like The Bravers came in very prepared!" Alex, the other commentator replied.Robin watched Andrew from where she and the other Bravers sat and never before had she felt so tensed. She watched the frown of concentration on Andrew's face as he solved t

COMPETITIVE PROGRAMMINGTHE BEEHIVE ARENA, 11 PM"Why do I feel like Max is gonna retaliate violently?" Robin asked fearfully.The look Andrew gave her had her shivering on the inside."He can't do anything, don't worry about him," Andrew replied, holding her hand."Okay ladies and gentlemen, with that settled, I believe we can all continue with the competition. Bravers, you're free to go back to your seats, thank you. We've wasted enough time indeed," Vanessa said after The Storm Team alongside Harry was led out of the arena."Now that The Storm Team is out of the competition, we have only nine teams left. Jeffery Michaels will give us a report on the top leaders of the first round. This round has a total of thirty points and the next one has a total of forty points. Any team that fails to make up to fifty points from the first two rounds added together, would not qualify for the final round. Are you guys excited to find out which team has won this popularity round?" Alan asked."Yes

DISQUALIFIEDTHE BRAVES WAITING ROOM, 10:40 AM"You guys can't let this happen to me. Andrew, you can't let them take me away. I've been your friend for such a long time, you can't do this to me!" Harry shouted as the security guards took him by the arms and dragged him away."What do you think they're gonna do to him?" Robin asked I'm fear."It's definitely gonna be what he deserves," Roberto replied.★★★★★THE BEEHIVE ARENAMax Reed was also dragged up to the stage for questioning and Camila couldn't sit put while her nephew was being maltreated, so she stood up and asked, "Who do you think you're dragging that way? Max is my nephew and I have the feeling that he has been set up by someone. I'm sure that Robin Stevens must have set Max up, she was the one who sold those ideas to him. There must be a mix up somewhere!""Miss Reed I advise you to have your seat and stop giving those remarks. We all just saw the video where your nephew and another student from AUT was talking about how

DAY 1 ONCE AGAINTHE BRAVES WAITING ROOM, 10:00 AMRobin stepped back from Harry and said, "Let's all go out now. It's 10:00 AM already."Why didn't I get a hug?" Harry frowned."That's because you don't deserve it," Robin replied tartly."Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you once again to The Regional Gaming Competition. As you all know, the competition was scheduled for last week, but due to some misunderstandings, it had to be postponed to this week. Who is excited?" Alan's voice came booming from all the speakers in the arena."I am!" The fans replied, excitedly."The competition has started, can you please keep quiet?" Robin frowned and then all The Bravers focused their attention on the large LED TV in the room, which showed what was happening on stage.★★★★★★THE BEEHIVE ARENA, 10:02 AMThe fans showed their excitement when the camera focused on their corner as they sprayed confetti and raised thundersticks to cheer their preferred teams on. Some even raised banners with the na

PAPER BAGS AND GUMMY BEARSTHE BEEHIVE ARENA, 9:30 AM"Babe, check out who's here to cheer us on!" Andrew said with a smile when Robin opened the door of the room reserved for her in the arena.The competition was to begin in thirty minutes time and all gamers had been given rooms to rest and practice in.She had been working on her increasing the speed of her programming skills. The previous day after the meeting, Harry left, saying he could practice well enough on his own.That left Andrew ensuring that all The Bravers played virtual football matches against one another in pairs. They also made some amendments to Campus Silence, Love Run and SAFE.Robin was indeed tired due to the constant training sessions they all went through all night long and now even with bags under her eyes, she was still very much excited to compete."Who is it?" She asked while rubbing her eyes tiredly after letting Andrew in.Jack then walked into the room with a huge smile and said in a rush, "Hi my cutes

REVELATIONSANDREW'S APARTMENT, 12:30 PM"What do you think? Of course, you have to apologize to her. I told you she was innocent, but you just won't listen," Stanley said.Looking down at her phone with a smile, Robin read the text message Andrew sent to her.MESSAGE DETAILS: Get everyone seated, we're in the parking lot now. Harry shouldn't suspect anything when we walk into the house."Okay, Riley, Gabe, Sophie and Brie, you all have to go downstairs. Andrew and Harry will be here any minute from now. Everyone, please be quiet, okay?" Robin told them all.After they had all relaxed in their seats and pretended like they were discussing other club related matters, Andrew and Harry walked into the room.Fiddling with his glasses, Harry said, "Sorry that I'm late guys. So what system do I use? I think we need to work on our speed first. I noticed most of us are quite slow in comparison with the other teams."Taking a seat in the swivel chair with President written on it, Andrew replie

DEALSANDREW'S APARTMENT, 12PMRobin spent the rest of the morning after church, preparing light snacks and refreshments for The Bravers alongside Sophie and Gabrielle.The rest of Andrew's family had gone home to rest so that they could make it early to The Beehive Arena, the next day for the competition."You see how good they turned out? I told you I make the best hors d'oeuvres in New York City," Gabrielle bragged."Oh please Brie, my cupcakes taste much better than your ridiculous h'ors d'oeuvres which I just can't stop eating," Robin retorted before sneaking another samosa into her mouth."Why do you keep eating them then?" Gabrielle laughed.Beating Robin's hand, Sophie said, "You think her hors d'oeuvres are ridiculous, but you keep eating them. At this rate, there'd be nothing left for us to serve the club members.""Ouch that hurt, Soph. You're just jealous because you haven't been away to eat any of hers yet. I love your punch and cocktails though, the taste is very differe
