Fortune arrived safely and knocked on her apartment door. after a few seconds the door was opened and Asia's sparkling eyes stared at her. "fortune tell me, how did it go? come on spit it out and tell me" Asia exclaimed. Fortune walked in "can you please give me a break, I just arrived". "ok fine,fine I'm waiting" Asia said with a hint of impatience in her voice. Fortune had to freshen up first and took her time on purpose just to make her friend feel irritated. As soon as she was done, she was preparing herself to leave her room when her door was suddenly pushed open. Asia walked in with an aggrieved expression on her face. "fortune will you please stop this and tell me, I know you are doing it on purpose but please, please just tell me now" Asia said in a pleading tone like a child begging for candy. fortune smiled and sat beside her friend she narrated everything that happened in detail. "fortune don't tell me you are hesitant because of that guy who probably isn't thinking about you, his probably with someone else and you are here restraining yourself from being with someone". "Asia listen, you don't have to worry I'm not so familiar with Brandon and I don't want to rush things with him. Me and Alex have no future, and honestly, I never got to have a close conversation with him in person and neither did I get to know his character well so don't worry" fortune said lazily. "you better think about it quickly and give him an answer, fortune if you want to take things slow then tell him,it's no harm accepting him and telling him you want things to be taken slow, I'm sure he will understand" It's like Asia knew Fortune's thought and immediately pointed it out.
"alright Asia, I will sleep over it, thank you" fortune found Asia's explanation plausible and decided to give it a try and know how to go about it. Early the next day, fortune heard someone calling her name and the voice got more disturbing by each second. she slowly opened her eyes and heard Asia's urgent call"fortune what's the matter with with you?are you sick? it's almost half past seven and you aren't ready for class yet". what! past seven! fortune jumped out of bed oh my, so late. she ran to the bathroom and quickly freshened up. soon fortune was done and she went for class with Asia. Despite being a little late, the lesson hadn't started. Few minutes later, the lecturer walked in and the first lesson was in process. The lessons went on as usual although today's lessons seemed bland . Finally the day came to an end with their last class. Fortune and Asia walked out and headed in the direction of their small home, not far from their apartment, there was a car parked at the side and a guy lazily leaned against the car, taking a closer look at who it was, Brandon smiled"hey fortune" he looked at Asia and said hello to her as well. "Brandon what are you doing here?" fortune asked a little surprised. " I came to see you since I couldn't see you anywhere around the school". Brandon responded and continued to speak "can I take you girls out to a place where we can eat and have some drinks?". "I don't drink sorry" fortune responded. " oh it's fine if you can't drink, we can simply have some food. " Asia looked at fortune and responded to Brandon" just give us some time to freshen up and prepare, we won't take long. Brandon looked at his time and said" it's only three so I will be here at exactly five". fortune nodded and smiled at him,she watched him drive out and sighed. He sure is persistent and won't give up. " fortune even if you don't drink, it's fine why must you act rigidly?". " alright Asia don't give me a lecture please I'm going and please wake me up at 4:30, I want to have a nap for now". " ok alright, I will do that" Asia responded. Fortune took a short nap and Asia woke her up on time. The two girls prepared themselves both dressed up casually but with a hint of playfulness and sexiness. They sat down and started to have school discussions in order to let time pass. Time flew slowly and they heard a knock at the door. Asia stood up and went to check, sure enough it was Brandon. "I'm sorry for being a little late" fortune looked at her time and it was only 5:10, he was only ten minutes late which wasn't a big deal." don't worry about it, shall we go?" fortune asked " oh yes we can leave now" Brandon responded. Three figures walked out of the apartment and headed straight to where the car was parked. Brandon quickly opened the passengers door for fortune while Asia sat in the back seat. He then went round to the other side got in, started the car and drove out as soon as they were all settled he drove straight to a bistro. The moment they walked in, fortune bumped into her annoying cousin again. " oh little cousin what are you doing here?"Camilla asked as she glanced at Asia and Brandon who stood beside fortune. "I came here for the same reason that you came here for, to eat and enjoy some live music, is anything wrong with that?" fortune asked. Camilla glanced at Brandon again then looked at this stinky fortune in front of her. could it be that this is Fortune's boyfriend or maybe they are just friends. "alright then enjoy yourself" Camilla said this and walked out.Brandon was taken aback by the way they addressed each other."cousin" so they are cousins. "Brandon, Brandon" fortune called out to him several times before he snapped out of his immersed thoughts "Brandon what's wrong with you?" fortune asked with a confused expression. "oh no I was just thinking about something, come on let's go in" Brandon snappily said this and led the way in. They sat, ordered their food and started to enjoy their meal. Afterwards fortune and Asia had a dessert while Brandon ordered for a drink. Although Asia felt like a light bulb being around Brandon and fortune, she casually had her dessert, after all, she was invited by them in the first place. Brandon had a few more drinks before they left, despite this, he was still in his right state of mind. fortune looked at Brandon and had to accept that his alcohol tolerance was really good. When they arrived, Asia quickly got out of the car, thanked Brandon for the meal and excused herself leaving the two in the car
She pushed and struggled to avoid Chris from carrying her. She didn't want this dirty man to touch her,she didn't want it. Fortune who saw this felt like she had seen enough, clearly Asia didn't want to see this man here. Before she could take a step, Zack looked at her and said " let's give them time to talk about their issues. am I allowed to take you out for breakfast?". Anyway since Asia's cousin has said so, she will do as he says. Chris had carried Asia and turned to ask "where's her room and do you have any first aid kit?" fortune pointed in the direction of Asia's room and quickly ran to get the first aid kit and gave it to Chris. looking at her friend who didn't want to see the man in front of her and even turned her back, she was taken aback. how can such a cheerful girl get so angry, she went to the bed side near her friend "Asia, if you need anything, just give me a call, your cousin and I will have breakfast outside". Fortune didn't give her friend time to respond
"When I got discharged from the hospital, my dad had already left for some work so that afternoon, mum and I decided to go out for lunch. walking into the restaurant, mum felt uncomfortable because the main hall had alot of people and the noise was unbearable, I requested for a vip room that would normally have two tables in each room. We walked in and found a lady seated on the other table, we chose the empty table and sat. mum suddenly had to make important phone calls concerning her work and had to go out for a while. I looked at the new phone I had and decided to call you and explain why I suddenly went quiet but then when I was about to tell you everything, that woman happened to be talking to her boyfriend on the phone and said those words not to me but to the person she had been talking to on phone. I came all the way just to make things right with you and make you understand that your conclusions were wrong. your cousin knew my situation better and each time he t
Asia nodded and dropped her head not daring to make eye contact with him. Chris sat beside her and hugged her, "it's enough now, I'm fine and you don't have to feel guilty about this". At this moment, the bedroom door was pushed open and a worried fortune rushed in but when she saw this scene, she paused and smiled apologetically then turned and closed the door again. Fortune went and sat beside Zack who was playing games with his mobile phone "hey please tell me what's happening, before we left, Asia was so angry and didn't want that guy close to her but now, she's snuggled up in his arms and seems happy, what's going on?". Zack looked at the beauty in front of him and smiled, he explained everything to her attentively making sure she understood. Fortune was shocked upon hearing her friends love story. "fortune,do you have a boyfriend?" Zack suddenly asked. fortune thought about Brandon and replied"yes, I do have a boyfriend". "hmm I see, so his a student as well?", fortune l
Looking at her friends injured foot, fortune sighed softly. "Let me prepare lunch then for dinner, I will ask Brandon if we can just buy some food then have it from here since your foot isn't fine and you need to avoid standing for long, I don't want to hear any objections from you"Fortune said without allowing Asia to retort. Fortune did as she said and soon it would be 6. she was ready on time and at 5:55 her phone rang."are you ready?" Brandon asked on the other end. "yes, let me come out" she hung up and went out, she saw Brandon's car not far and walked to the passengers door, opened it and sat. she looked at him and said " Brandon, can we have dinner in my apartment?" . This came so suddenly and Brandon wondered "but why, is there any problem if we eat from outside?"fortune shook her head in disagreement"no, no there's no problem at all, the thing is that something happened earlier today in the morning. Asia's boyfriend and cousin came earlier for breakfast and as Asia was car
Fortune enjoyed the festive holiday and felt like it was better than the previous festive holidays she had. Enjoying her birthday with her family was the best part for her, She also had an official boyfriend who understood her and was patient all the time. She felt lucky to find such a guy and fortune could possibly say that she started to like him. Furthermore, she had time to go out with her best friend Asia and took her young sister who would graduate from high school in three years time as well. Not wanting negative energy around her, she avoided her cousin as much as she could. In addition to all this, she would see Brandon once in a while and everything felt right with fortune. Nevertheless, the holidays came to an end and it was time to go back to school. Asia made an appointment with her best friend and both agreed that they would go back together. Although everyone felt sad that fortune would be going back to school, Lisa looked at her sister who was packing her lugga
Being the first day, they expected to see a few number of students but to their surprise, it's like everyone had reported. Lessons went on as usual till the last lesson of the day came to an end. They leisurely walked back to their little home, unlocked the door and went in. At this moment, the living room was scattered with books and they were both immersed in studying when the door bell rang. The two girls look at each other with confused expressions, who could it be at this time. "Let me have a look", Asia stood up, walked to the door and asked who it was before she could open "it's Brandon". Asia smiled and opened the door"please come in". Brandon walked in and sat beside his girlfriend. Seeing the mess in the living room, fortune smiled at Brandon apologetically and asked "is it fine with you if we go to my room instead?" she asked. "sure, there's no problem". Brandon responded and his tall figure walked up to Fortune's room and he sat on her bed directly. having this kind of p
Brandon walked out with Camilla and directed her to his car. They both sat in the car and Brandon asked, "where are we going?" Camilla smiled and answered "would it be a problem if we went to your apartment?" Brandon didn't think much about it, he started the cars engine and drove to his apartment. Non of them spoke till they got to Brandon's apartment, he lived alone lucky enough, Camilla felt relieved. They went in, Camilla helped herself and sat on the couch. "Why are you with my boring and annoying cousin? I can see she's probably not treating you right" Camilla suddenly spoke. Brandon smiled "so how does it concern you if your cousin is not treating me right? aren't you not ashamed to seduce your cousin's boyfriend?". Camilla smiled, got off the couch and walked up to him "I'm not ashamed and can never be ashamed if I go for something I like or want". She moved closer to him and gave him a seductive dragon fly kiss, so smooth that it sent shivers down his spine. Brandon couldn'
The call got disconnected and fortune was all over Zack. "Come on Zack did you have to say that, do you want to make my relationship with my dad awkward? Come on don't be so mea "At this moment, the back door of the car was suddenly opened, Zack and fortune simultaneously looked at who opened the door and saw Asia carefully sitting inside the car."Fortune, you have already tied your life to this big bully, you need to get used to it" Asia said in a mocking tone. Fortune and Asia enjoyed the ride while Zack drove to a restaurant not far from the main villa where they lived. The three had their lunch and went back.Ashley sat in his room, he was in such deep thought that he didn't hear the door being opened. "Ashley, do you have a few minutes to spare?" Asia asked politely. Ashley didn't respond or look at her, Asia raised her brow and looked at Ashley, she noticed he was in deep thought."Ashley,
Asia sat in her room in deep thought. She sighed heavily then stood up and grabbed her bag then walked out. She asked one of the driver's outside to prepare the car and sat in the back seat of the car. "Ma'am, where am I taking you?" The driver asked respectfully."Hunter's view cemetery " Asia responded lazily. The driver nodded then drove out... ashley stood near the window and looked at the car that drove out, he sighed helplessly and questioned if he was doing the right thing. He knew that Asia would probably never love him cause she had always loved Chris. What will be left of md if she doesn't fall for me? I probably will never have a child in my life cause she will never allow me touch her, but what kind of a life will that be? Am I subjecting my life to some sort of self imprisonment because of love? Ashley shook his head...no, why am I thinking this way? I can't turn back on my decision, I must
Zack just nodded, he had no other words to say, No answers to give as to why all this happened. Mr Jacobs turned and walked out leaving zack in the ward. A few hours slowly went by , zack was still in the ward, he tried to sleep a couple of times but couldn't. "Chris, don't go, you can't leave me, please come back. If..if you leave, what's there for me to live for? OK fine...fine, if you want to leave, I will come with you. I...I will come with you, wait for me, Chris! I said wait for me, don't leave me please. I need you, don't go" Asia said in her sleep as tears flowed down her face. Zack was taken aback by this, it was obvious this dream felt real for her. He walked up to Asia's bed side and patted her on the cheek. "Asia, wake up, it's just a dream, wake up! Come on wake up""No, Chris come back, come back to me""Asia wake up! Zack said in a loud voice.Asia opened her eyes, she sat u
Asia felt like her world was coming to an end, everything around her began to spin uncontrollably until everything suddenly became dark. Asia passed out at this moment, "doctor, hey nurse. Take her to the ward, let her rest. Give her something that will help her rest" zack instructed the nurses around then sat on a corner in deep thought. At this moment, he didn't even what he was thinking of. Fortune wiped her tears then walked up to zack's side. She sat beside him and threw herself in his arms , a hug is all she could do right now to comfort him. Fortune thought about Asia's state and shivered upon thinking of the scene earlier. Exactly how will Asia manage without Chris in her life. Half of her life has been about him, she has loved him for so many years and now, he is gone. Zack held fortune in his arms as he blankly stared at the wall in the opposite direction. Chris father was comforting his wife, he looked at
At this moment there was a loud roar of thunder and it soon began to rain...with the wind and lightening, Zack felt even worse by the sudden storm. He felt like the whole world was closing in on him. He had never felt this helpless before , the pain was suffocating him , no air conditioning was enough to make the sweat off his forehead stop. He had no idea on how to console Asia or what words to use... Or find something to say that could make her feel better. Zack paced back and forth thinking of what he would do next. Kevin is dead, Alex was also dead, what else could he do in the name of revenge? This feeling was something he had never felt before, he suddenly screamed with all his might then fell to the ground again, panting and sweating. "Zack you need to calm down, it's not like Chris is dead so just..."Only a miracle can save him at this moment" Zack interrupted absent mindedly. Terry was stunned, could it be that the situation is this bad?
Asia smiled at her father and they slowly walked in. Fortune and camilla went in last and sat at the back . Asia felt a little nervous but with her father beside her, she felt relieved."Chris, I give my daughter to you, my only daughter. Love her, take care of her as a wife, respect her and always make her happy" Asia's father said this with so much emotions, he stepped back and motioned for the priest to begin the ceremony. Kevin who was in the crowd signaled for Alex to get ready, he was not willing to wait for Chris and Asia to be pronounced husband and wife....At this moment, Kevin and Alex both stood to their feet, Ashley who was a little absent minded noticed this action and subconsciously yelled in a loud voice "Asia get down". Chris reacted before the bullet could reach Asia,he stood in front of Asia like a shield, receiving the bullets being shot at him. The church hall was in chaos as everyone lay on the floor screaming
"Zack come on, must you mock me on my wedding day? Give me a break man, what's wrong with you?""Ok fine, listen here, stop worrying about this little bow tie and pay heed to my words. I am advising you as a friend, women can be a little funny at times, you need to treat your wife with extra care, get her some roses on your way back home..at least do it frequently. I learned this on the internet, it's another way to avoid too much nagging. So if you want less nagging, get her rose flowers on your way back home, get her chocolate or ice cream as well, you know how much she likes such irritating foods.And advising you as a brother in law, don't you dare hurt my little sister, or else I will forget about our friendship and skin you alive"Chris sighed helplessly without knowing what to say."Terry, organize a few of your men, just for security purposes. Kevin wouldn't try to make any funny moves, at least that's what I think" Zack said in a firm voice."Ok a
Fortune pouted her lips, "Zack, stop playing around here, I am serious. I want to ask you a question and I need you to answer me honestly"Zack nodded to fortune then closed his laptop and gave his attention to her.Asia looked at the two and thought it would be inappropriate for her to stay.She stood up and fixed her clothes then cleared her throat just to , get their attention. "I will leave you two so you can catch up. Fortune, remember my wedding will be soon and I have yet to make a decision concerning my wedding dress. I will need your help so don't give so much of your time on my brother, please. I am the one who needs attention. My brother is fine and healthy as you can see. So please, I hope you keep my words in mind. Your best friend needs you now more than ever" Asia said mockingly and winked at Zack before she turned."You say that you need her now more than ever, are you going to marry her? She must spend most of her time with the ma
Fortune giggled and quickly left the ward. Natasha was taken aback by the interaction between the two and was immersed in jealousy. What does this girl have that I don't have? Why does every man want her? I know fortune is a beauty but I am equally beautiful. I was hoping I could get close to this patient but this silly girl seems to move faster than me. But wait, it seems the two knew each other before now. Anyways it doesn't matter, I need this handsome guy, he must be mine. After all, it's obvious Ken doesn't want me, I lost interest in him the day I saw Zack so why should I waste my time on ken? Natasha was deeply immersed in her own thoughts, forgetting about Zack."Is this how you work?" Zack spoke in a deep voice which startled Natasha."Oh sir, I am sorry about that. Let me quickly check on your wound, we need to make sure there isn't any infection" Natasha spoke in a soft voice.Zack didn't say anything, he let Natasha check on his wound until she was done.
