Brenda G_____ The weekend did not go as well as planned. My mom called and asked me to go home since she wanted to discuss something urgent with me.On arriving home, I had an earful from her mainly scolding me about picking a fight with Lance. She told me about the benefits of being in Lance's good books and the disadvantages of disobeying the stupid man. I had to listen to her lectures the entire day. At some point, I nearly passed out.At the end of the conversation, she made me promise never to go against Lance. Of course, I agreed but deep down I was cooking up a plan that would ensure Lance's downfall.The weekend gushed by and Monday was here once again. I was seated in class next to Dulcie who was sick the last few days but she looked better than I had last seen her. Her condition seemed to have improved."I'm freezing," Dulcie whispered to me. I couldn't get why she claimed to be freezing and yet it was a sunny day."You didn't fully recover," I placed my hand on her forehe
Jake William_____I furiously tore off the sheet of paper and crumpled it then shoved it on the carpeted floor. My hand reached for the remote control which was lying beside me on the bed, then threw it across the room. The electronic shattered upon impact, resulting in a deafening sound.I wanted to break everything, especially the TV screen which was currently airing the news about my company's state. I hopped out of bed and commenced pacing back and forth in the room while raking my tousled hair.Fury was surging through my being as I watched the news about an accident that had occurred in JW SHIPPING. CO earlier in the day, leading to loss of workers' lives. The accident was a result of a gas leakage which triggered a fire outbreak. The accident not only led to a loss of lives but also, the damage of millions' worth' equipment. This kind of loss impacted the shareholders and investors who had been calling me all evening mainly to talk about their withdrawal from JW SHIPPING CO.T
Brenda G_____An undeniable scepticism consumed me for the past week. I couldn't shake off the feeling that something intimate had happened between Jake and me.I kept having blurry flashbacks of him and me entangled in an embrace as we danced and laughed. He was so close to me, I could feel the scorch of his minty breath on my face. My body was pressed on his so romantically one would have thought that we were romantically involved.What is wrong with me? Am I losing my mind?I scolded my haunting thoughts as I strolled to the Biology class that morning. When I arrived, I was stunned to find that most of the students were not in. My eyes scanned the area in an attempt to locate Jake but I couldn't find him. Suddenly, I saw Sam approaching. A cordial smile was plastered across his face."Hi, Brenda." Sam greeted me."Hi. Wait, am I in the wrong class? Where are the rest? ""Probably on their way. Hey, the chemistry professor has been asking for you." He stated."Why? Did I do somethi
Brenda G_____"Why are we here?" I was beyond surprised when the car halted at the place that I least expected. Jake on the other hand was grinning widely. "Jake, why are we here? " I inquired once more but he remained quiet. Instead, he unbuckled his leather safety belt and opened the door."Do you intend on killing me and throwing my corpse in this river?" I pointed out. But he just chuckled while opening the passenger door for me."Come on, if I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago. I would have probably suffocated you with a pillow and then tossed your corpse in the bathtub."I gasped in shock, " You wouldn't dare Jake William! Because if you do, Gg will kick your ass." I scoffed while stepping out of the car."Who is Gg?""He's my pet camel and he can kick ass pretty good." I challenged him.He broke into laughter, "Are you seriously threatening me with a camel?""Yes." I crossed my arms to my chest. "What's so funny about that?" I growled."The funny part is that a
Brenda G_____"Girl, Sam has a crush on you. He really likes you. Haven't you seen how he keeps giving you those dreamy looks?" Dulcie murmured while chuckling."No. Sam doesn't like me in that manner. He and I are just friends." I responded while strolling through the busy hallway.I could feel it in her voice, she was trying so hard to act cool. I knew so well that she loved Sam so badly."Keep telling yourself that. When we both know that Sammy clearly has a thing for you." She rolled her eyes."Dulcie, even if Sam likes me, I don't feel the same way about him." I sighed."Why? Is it because you have feelings for my cousin?" She wiggled her eyebrows suspiciously.My eyes bulged as the pace of my heartbeats picked up, "wh-at? Why would I like your cousin? I mean, he and I are obviously enemies." I blabbered the words while fighting to control a blush.At the mention of Jake, my mind drifted off to the river. A place where I nearly let him kiss me. He nearly claimed my lips, somethi
Brenda G____ That evening, I was sprawled on the bed reading a steamy romance novel which had me heated up, especially the lovemaking scenes. I was clad in a crop top which barely covered my belly and a pair of denim booty shorts. My bouncy hair was lazily crocheted.'Cepheus hooked his finger at the waistband of her crimson knickers and slid them down her thighs, thus exposing her dampened womanhood. Cleopatra's body temperature spiked the moment Cepheus' finger caressed the sensitive flesh of her womanhood...'My heart was racing furiously as I read the erotic paragraph. I pressed my legs together in an attempt to calm my throbbing core. For a moment, I imagined that Cepheus was Jake and I was Cleopatra. I closed my eyes as imaginations took over my brain. All of it felt so real, the kisses, the caresses... the texture of his fingers on my skin.Brenda snap out of it!My eyes shot open and I swiftly sat up in bed. I needed to stop thinking about Jake. He was not what I was thinkin
Brenda G"Lunch is on me." Sam declared while approaching my desk."Sorry, but I won't be joining you today." I was scribbling some chemistry notes in my notebook.Sam perched on the seat in front of mine. "Still having problems with the chemistry professor?" He picked one of my assignment papers from the desk and commenced examining it."Not really." I grabbed the paper from him. "I submitted the chemistry practical assignments yesterday.""Hmm-when did you complete the practical assignment? Did you do it over the weekend?" He shot a question at me."Yes. Jake and I did it on Saturday." At the mention of Jake's name, the memories of the kiss replayed in my head.The way he claimed my lips and kissed them to obedience made my stomach swarm with butterflies. The roughness of his lips against mine triggered goosebumps all over my skin. The way his warm breath had caressed my lips before he claimed them, left me weak with desire. It was my first kiss, and I craved more. It was evident th
Brenda GI was hurt.I couldn't bring myself to believe that I was falling for someone who always wanted to hurt me.What drove him to hurt me this way? Was it revenge? If he wanted to hurt me, couldn't he have thought of something else?Question after question bombarded my brain, intensifying my headache as sobs tore through my throat. Tears rolled down my cheeks as mucus sluiced from my nostrils. I was in a horrible state, I couldn't bring myself to face anyone after my reputation had been dragged through a pile of mud.I had locked myself in the girl's bathroom, crying my eyes out as Sydney, Dulcie, and Sam, who were outside the room, tried to pacify me."Brenda... please come out." Dulcie pleaded while knocking on the bathroom door."Brenda, you can't cry in there alone, just open up!" Sydney added.They continued begging whereas I continued crying.Didn't the kiss mean anything to him? Why did he have to hurt me this way? He promised that he would never hurt me, so why did he bre
