"I'm going to be the best architect ever and make my dad real proud of me." Beautiful, smart, ambitious, as well as determined Nadia Campbell had the zeal of being the best at what she dreamt of becoming. She had her life well planned out thus, nothing prepared her for the sudden tough phase of her life — being a young mother and marrying the father of her child, a child she never hoped for this early in her life. Not when she was so close to her goal. " He's a player. I shouldn't get entangled but why does my heart say otherwise?" "There's no way something as feeble as love can ever find a way of getting to me." Playboy Derek Ashford's popular mantra, "NO LOVE, NO PAIN", was his everyday principle of living. Flirt with girls, temporary tango in the sheets, take a walk and never look back on the tears — total show on their parts to bring the toughest man to his knees. It all seemed easy until faced with the toughest price he had to pay for his inheritance — marry the mother of his mistake baby. " I play girls, I dont date them. When and if I do, no marriage or commitment is made clear from the onset so why does my heart argue with my head on this when it comes to her?"
View MoreDerek's POV "That one at that table says lonely and Sex percentage 30%," I snapped my finger in the direction of my point of interest. We were at our favourite hook-up club where we sat at the bar and we evaluated the take-to-bed worthiness of every girl in the club by their looks, assets and how much flavour they would bring to the bed. It was kind of a tradition of ours of which we ended up screwing the girl with the highest score in our Playbook. So far so good no one's reached the average score. "The girl wearing the turquoise dress at that end is totally giving the greens but the guy's just too consumed in his blabbering to notice. Why is that?" I took a sip of my drink. "Either the guy's just plain dumb or gay not to notice. I mean look at her. That right there, is hot. One you would love to fuck and surely does want a good fuck. It's a straight 70%." Edwards nodded in agreement. "Blondi
"He did what?" Patricia eyebrows rose into her bangs."You heard me right Patricia, he left." I paced around Patricia's room, worry making it unable for me to sit still."He wasn't supposed to spend the night with you, was he?" she asked"No he wasn't… Maybe I wanted him to and…ugh, I don't know okay? He just ran away. That's what I know.""Ran away? I doubt that. I mean, why would he? I did the whole makeover so I know you looked superb," She reasoned as she drew some designs on her notepad. "And I bet you are not the clingy type guys hate." "Oh, I don't know. Just leave me alone girl." I sat on the sofa beside the window, tucking my legs underneath my butt."Where's Kathy?" May asked as if just noticing her absence.The door opened and Katherine came in. "Freshly made and delicious biscuits for all," she announced.Katherine came in with a plate of hot and delicious biscuits Patricia's mum made for us as was our tradition whenever we had sleepovers at her parent's home every weekend
"So, tell me. What's got your hands full these days?" I asked the moment the waiter left our table. We just finished giving our orders to the waiter. I must say The Duncans really did a lot of work on its interiors. The polished marble floors sparkled, the tables neatly arranged, the glazed walls, the chandeliers were decorated with sparkly ornamentals. There was also a mini water fountain at the centre of the restaurant. Sunrise cafe had a thing or two to learn before they got to this height. A few ideas just popped into my head. I'll bring it up to my boss later on. See what he thinks about it and probably... "Steve?" Nadia called me. I was totally lost in thought. ...Really? On our first date?... "I'm sorry. What was that again?" "Well I was saying nothing new has got my hands full. Just the usual. School, home, school, home. Same boring routine with a little tutorials thrown in between. I know, I know," She ru
Friday came in a flash. I had a date with Steve and honestly I had no idea what I should wear. What does one wear on a first date? With a frustrated sigh I picked out a chiffon top and a blue Jean to go with it which just made me look too casual. I tried on a blue dress which only made my eyes look too big and worst I wasn't feeling myself in it. Funny. This used to be favourite dress. I threw it on the bed and searched again. The next dress I tried on just made me laugh. I was really loosing it. Where was Berth when I needed her most? That's right, out on a date. It was really date night today. 6pm is around the corner and I still haven't decided what to wear. Giving up on my fashion sense, I called Patricia, another perfect person for this — a fashion goddess. Few minutes later, someone knocked at my door. I was about to tie a robe since I was buck naked when Patricia just barged in, carrying so many shopping bags. ...Leave it to her to just ba

Of all the places in the world for Amy to pick from, she chose this place, Sunrise Cafe, today of all days. Why? She messaged me on my way to the city library we normally met for our lessons to change the venue. I've been a regular for what, two years, almost three years and I bounced in forgetting it was 'The Sunrise cafe' with a certain hottie for a worker called Steve? I only remembered when I stepped into the place and my eyes landed on him at the counter, sexy as hell talking to a customer. Why didn't I realise sooner? Gosh Nadia, for a straight A student, you are so dumb. You've been a regular at this place and you didn't remember your super crush works here? How dumber could you get? Our near kiss today put me on my toes. …I can't let him see me. I'll just call Amy once I make it out the door to cancel. An outing with girls wouldn't be such a bad idea….
The bell rang at exactly 3 o'clock indicating the end of classes. It was my last class for the day. Everyone started packing their belongings while Professor Adams called out to us to remind us about the test we'd be having next week before he left too. I was about leaving when my phone beeped. It was a message from Kathy telling me to come to our spot so i hurriedly went there. "Hey guys." I said joining my friends at our usual spot under a huge tree just behind our classrooms. Kathy was leaning on the tree, cross-legged. Ann and Patricia sat on a tree stump likewise May. I frowned noticing the mood was off. "What's wrong?" Kathy was the one to speak up first. "It's May." May was sitting there face down and fumbling with the hem of her sleeveless top, not saying a word. It was as if she was there but wasn't there, like she didn't know we were there too. "Are you alright May?" No answer. I d
The smell of bacon and coffee wafted through the air and my stomach grumbled. Hunger pangs. Steve waved at me from the counter with a big smile. He was a worker at the Sunrise cafe I frequented most times, probably has been even before I came to this school. When I first stepped foot into Oustanding heights college, he was the first friend I ever had. It surprised me that he became friends with me. He was so handsome with his intimidating dark looks, dark short hair done in spikes and athletic build in contrast to my lower than average look. Yummy? No, I think Berth understated. He was more. Our love for sports was actually our first talk which grew to friendship. I was into Soccer and track sports while he was basically a basketball player. I always felt guys like him rolled with super hot girls with sexy looks— slim and straight long legs, perky breasts and super hot curves, and not a plain old me. I was too
Weeks back… The shrill sound of my alarm clock woke me up at 5a.m. Silencing it, I untangled myself from the heavy weight of my roommate's arms on me, climbed off the bed and exited to the bathroom with my phone. Placing my phone on the bathroom cabinet, I put to play my favourite song by Adele; someone like you, and performed my morning ritual of brushing my teeth and taking a hot relaxing shower. Done, I tied a robe and commenced to drying my hair only to discover the wall socket we normally used beside the bathroom mirror was faulty. "That's another expense. You are lucky I have an alternative." I pointed a warning finger to the socket. As if realising what I was doing I laughed dryly, shaking my head, "I'm talking to a spoilt wall socket. Perfect. I need my coffee." Sighing, I unplugged the dryer and left the bathroom with it and my phone. I was shocked to see my roommate still sl
Watching where I step, not wanting to trip and fall on vomit, I climbed up the stairs escaping the insane party going on downstairs… I had to find Derek at all costs. Finding him was proven not to be as easy as I thought. The mansion was humongous with hundreds of rooms, a fact that was really starting to annoy me. I was so lost in thought that I didn't see there were two people making out in front of me until I bumped into them and we fell. "I'm so sorry. I didn't see…" I shut it when I saw that they didn't even mind if they just fell. From what I could see it only heightened their pleasure. I stood up and continued my ultimate hunt. This time opening doors. I quickly shut the doors with lovers behind it until finally I reached my goal. …The nerve of him. His busy, was having Sex?… He was surrounded by three nude girls and they were really...
