"can you come over? -Alaine."
I looked at the text for the fifteenth time to be sure I read right, and wondered how he got my digits.For the past four days, after Ray and I spent two full hours staring at a blank paper in the name of detention, we avoided each other like a plague. We barely talked, even In chemistry class which we both shared. Just when I thought we were getting along fine.Foluke started spending time with Jeremy, Meredith was always with Miguel and Bisola was always going off and on, but I wasn't alone.I spent time with Ray nowdays. When I told foluke this, she simply rolled her eyes and said, "Yeah. Big surprise you're spending time with a really hot guy who happens to be your boyfriend."Well she was right.I mean, after the kiss thing and the fact that we were spending a lot of time together, people began to take us serious.Just yesterday, a gossip review came out with a picture of our kiss and a full blow to blow detail of our reI entered the kitchen fully dressed for school and anticipating dinner with Ray in the evening. Anyone with good eyes could see I was way too happy.I found Ray and Alaine sitting on the kitchen counter and my mum talking to Ray happily. For a moment I was taken aback. My mum would never let me sit on the kitchen counter but here she was, breaking rules. Wow, something definitely was wrong somewhere. And didn't Ray and Alaine have to go to school? Didn't Alaine have a calculus test with me?"Good morning mum." I turned to both boys on the counter, "Don't you guys have school to attend today?" I tried hard to keep my gaze from wandering to Ray, which it constantly did.Ray grabbed me by the waist unexpectedly, planted a kiss on my both cheeks and said, "That's no way to greet your boyfriend."I wanted to melt, right at the spot. The way he smiled made me realize he did that on purpose. I remained glued to him and sneaked a glance at my mom who was blushing ferociously
"what the fuck just happened?" Foluke asked me."I don't know. It still feels surreal." I said gasping for air."Those girls are evil." She said, "they would've killed us. For real.""And we'd have killed them back." I said, not really thinking.I turned to see Foluke giving me a weird look. She then used the back of her palms to feel my body, touching my head and neck. "Babe, are you okay?" She asked me.Eyeing her wearily, I asked, "What sorta question is that? I don't look okay?""Yes." She said, "Infact you're not okay.""How do you mean?" I questioned."How do you intend on killing those girls after they've killed you?" She asked."I said that?" I asked."I'm beginning to think you're having memory loss.""Thank you." I waved her aside, trying to avoid unnecessary argument. My head was pounding already, and I just slumped on the gym floor where we had escaped to. We talked about random things until tryouts where over.*. *. *. *."Foot
Four hours later, I stood in front of Ray's door with a bag in my hand. I didn't carry much but I packed carefully. "Can you please show us to our rooms?" I asked carefully."There's one bedroom downstairs and two upstairs. Alain, take the one downstairs. Emmy come up with me." Ray said, nodding.I glanced at him through the corner of my eyes, feeling oddly shy and wondering why. I tried very hard not to smile at the hideous thought in my mind."Hold it. I don't like the idea of the both of you upstairs together." Alain said."Really, you don't?" Ray asked sarcastically. "Well I don't like the idea of the fact that you think that I care about what you think.""Well like it or not, " Alain said, "I'm in charge.""Nobody asked you to take charge. No one. This is my house and my rules." Ray retorted.My head began to spin slowly as I imagined where the argument was leading to. This was a bad idea. Leaving me with two boys who were at loggerheads with each ot
Alaine had his eyes glued to the TV he didn't notice the little movie going on besides him."I'm sorry, but I can't resist you." Ray whispered in my ears.My mouth had gone dry and my lips wouldn't movie. I wanted to nod my head but found that it wouldn't be possible too. I stared, awestruck at him as he ran his thumbs across my nipples. I lay still, for fear that if I moved, Alaine would notice.He played with my breast like it was normal, and laughed at a funny scene on the TV. When his hands left my breast, they traced the outline of my skin and then rested behind my backside. I stiffled a moan, when his hands found my breast again, tracing them with his fingertips.Annoyingly, the movie ended, making Ray withdraw his hands suddenly. I felt it and arched my back, trying to burn out the sensation."It's time for bed." Alain said handing over the remote to Ray. "See you tomorrow,Emmy." He eyed the awkward position between Ray and I. "Can we now go to bed?""
"Best of luck explaining to her man." Alaine patted Ray on the shoulder, grinning. "I'm outta here.""You are going not going anywhere!" I barked which made Alaine scramble back quickly."High Emmy was so much better." Ray muttered under his breath."Excuse me?" I said, my eyes narrowing at the corners."I mean nothing." He said grinning.I loved his smile, but believe me, he wasn't going to buy his way out with one. "What happened last night?"Ray looked at Alaine expectantly but Alaine gave him a look that said it's all on you."So Emmy, you remember when we were having our little romance session before Alaine interrupted?" Ray asked.My eyes bulged and I wanted to puke, Alaine's face mirrored the same expression. How could he say that in front of Alaine. I blushed ferociously and hid my trembling hands behind my back. "Okay? I remember." I said. Atleast, I remembered that much.Ray grinned, and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear before I cou
"You guys shouldn't be spying on us!" Meredith said walking around as we sat in our seat, trying not to look ashamed.People were staring at us but their attention was mostly on Meredith who looked like she was about to kill us."I don't get why this is such a big deal." Bisola said.Meredith glared at her."Sorry." Bisola said in a tiny voice. "But you wouldn't tell us anything so we decided to find out ourselves.""Okay fine, what do you want to know?" Meredith said."Everything." Bisola replied."We met at your place, more or less so. She gave her number to me and I called her." Miguel said.Foluke had a weird look on her face."That's all?" I asked."Yup." Meredith said.We looked at them , cracking our brain for something to say but we didn't find any so we kept quiet."Fine," Bisola said after sometime. We'll leave you guys to continue what you were doing.""Oh, the date got over. But on the other hand, I'll need a dress for
By the time the lunch bell rang, I was already outside, flanked by foluke and Meredith. Ray had called Stacy to come pick us up. We were talking about the homecoming dance when stacy's car pulled up beside us."Who the hell is that _?" Foluke said immediately Stacy stepped out of her blue van."Ray's nanny." I repliedIf eyes could pop out and jaws could reach the floor, theirs just did."Anyways, that's my ride." I said waving at them and ran to meet up with Stacy."Ray called me." She said, "Where's he by the way?""Really? Thought he was here?" I said."Nope. He said to come pick you up." Stacy rolled her eyes. "Hop in the car.""Oh." I sat silently all through the car ride till we got home, my mind wandering. Where did he go?When we finally arrived the house, I couldn't wait to get out of the car that I tripped a billion time on my leg.The house was sparkling and had a faint smell of lemon. I sighed in relief, never have I been so h
I have never woken up so early my entire life. I woke up exactly 7'0clock, feeling so happy and refreshed. I was dressed in tights and sneakers with a pretty t-shirt and put on my favorite strawberry lipstick.I smiled inwardly and went down the kitchen.Ray wasn't in the kitchen yet except Alain who was studying for a biology test. Prior to yesterday's event, he looked calm. Like nothing ever happened."I hate biology." Alaine said, handing me a sandwich but not quite looking at me.I took a bite and was about saying something when I got interrupted."I quite like biology." Ray announced.I turned around, eager to see him. For heaven's sake Emmy. Stop acting like a lost puppy. InHis hair was was extremely messy, sticking out in every possible way and his green eyes were dull."I would say take a picture it last longer. But we both know you already have." Ray said when he caught me staring.
Guyyyysss.I want to pretend like everything is over but deep down it's not.I'll talk about this some time later and the fact that Emem and Raynard have been sending you secret notes.I can't believe she talks about me like that in my back!!It's not like she lied tho. It's certainly the truth.... but not Im the way she put it.I recall I was trying to check our some sturvs in the Review column... Not like I was reviewing the book.Dang! I feel so embarrassed right now.But,I'm not mad. I promise you.but for now, Let's move to our next book....WINNING WALKER.Thanks for all you do.But yeah, The Boynextdoor Is over.Like my counter people would say...DONE AND DUSTED.
6 years later. "Jake has a girlfriend momma." Little Amelia squealed to her mother."He does , Amelia?" Emem asked, surprise written all over her face."He does, momma." She replied, cupping her mother's cheeks. "I'll never lie to you momma.""Right, Amelia. He told you this?""No mummy. But I've been watching him. you know how you always say, keep an eye on your brother? I've been doing that.""That's so cute." Emem picked up the five old child, spreading mushy kisses on her face. "You know her name?""I don't. " she replied thoughtfully. "You know he always shares his snacks with her?""He does now?" Emem asked."ofcourse momma. I'll never lie to you." She confirmed."You know what Amy?" Emem asked."What mummy?". Amelia asked expectantly."I think we tell daddy about this latest information. you know how he loves to tease you about things like that?""I agree momma. That way, he'll know Jake isn't a saint, right mum?" She asked."Sure Amelia." Emem replied, smiling.Some were
we're getting married!! I'm sure you're excited for us.Ray wanted a big ceremony but I said no. it's going to just be friends and families.And yeah, I'm inviting you all.Guess what? Mr. Stormwind is showing up too!! I'm excited for that too. I know you're going to ask how? well, we patched things up.Alain is showing up to Raven, and Mitchell is going to be there. I can't imagine how that reunion would go.Foluke, Bisola and Meredith are all going to be by my side, cheering me on that big day, I wish you all could come. I'm teary right now.I had my wedding gown shipped in last , and oh!, what a beaut.I know I'm talking to much, but I just thought it would be beautiful to let you guys know how the journey is going.Dang! I almost forgot, Mitchell's going places. I'm so proud of that girl.Raynard's been busy this past months... and oh, how I pity him. I can't wait to get this marriage over with. I laugh remembering how I almost proposed to him. I was in such a haste.I just saw
Ray's POV"You're sure she would love this?" I asked foluke for the hundredth time."Have I ever lied to you? I'm hundred percent certain, Raynard. If she doesn't, have my head. Plus, you owe me hundred dollars for disturbing my sleep. Who raised you kid?" "Will do." I replied."But hold up Ray!" Foluke said, raising a finger. "You're anxious about this? You're definitely swooned.""You don't know anything about that." I replied, marvelling at the accuracy of her statement."Believe me, I Know more than I'm willing to let on. Beside, I don't think we need binoculars for this. It's all over you. In your eyes." She replied."What exactly are we talking about?" I probed."How much you're in love with Emem yonas." She replied, not mincing words."Dang!! Do you always have to be blunt?" I asked."I'll answer that, only if you make what you owe me three bucks." She replied."You're an extortionist." I laughed, shaking my head. "I thought so too. Now you get going, you have a girlfriend to
Guys!!!it's been such a beautiful journey with you. Thinking right now how my journey would be if I didn't have you, I cringe .No one wants to spend eternity alone. Raynard is actually vexed that this took a little longer than planned, but it's nothing a little kiss can not solve. winks* He's that easy.Another thing... Ray's jealous over the fact that we're starting a new story.... With a new make hero , Walker. can you believe that?He thinks walker is going to be way hotter than him.. How absurd Is that. I know he likes to show off.. like, be the center of attention. That's my baby. but whatever, We just have two more chapters to go and we're done.The boy nextdoor was definitely a journey and I pray you find yours. He doesn't necessarily have to live nextdoor.I heard the girl in the next book, Steyn, is strong at heart. I heard she's beautiful too. Honestly, I feel so sad for her because unlike Ray, Walker is going to punish her!!.You see that too??But whatever.... she's a gi
Hello guys, I'm sure my reputation precedes me... but hey.... I'm much better in real life.A little arrogant with a touch of sassiness... lol... don't know if there's a word like that. I and Emmy's love story is finally coming to an end and I'm sure you enjoyed it while it lasted.I've been pissed with blackgirlsmyth...(gasp... ow! I'm sorry. you lots might not know her by that. it's her instagram handle) that's the writer telling the story, for keeping it longer than expected but she apologized and I'm still considering my reaction.The next note would be from Emmy, and I'm sure you'll love what she has to say...I'll miss you all...yeahhh.... I will.But till then.... if you find someone to love, love them well cuz that shit ain't easy.love,Raynard Stormwind.
I stumbled out of my apartment in New Jersey, almost tripping on my sneakers. Heaven's help me. I was always late for the bus but not today. It was weekend and that meant spending it over at Ray's.I didn't stop running and tripping until I was inside the bus. Yeah! I mentally congratulated myself. I had a lot to gist Ray about when I got to New York City.I held until the railings of the rickety old bus that led to New York, as though my life depended on it. The gown I wore clung beautifully to my body. Ray would love it, I thought, congratulating myself. The distance from New Jersey to New York was just two miles, and I wondered why he wouldn't let me drive."If it isn't Emem?" I heard someone call my name and turned immediately to acquaint myself with whomever it was. You can imagine my shock when I realized it was Mitchell. Never in my life would I believe in Mitchell using the bus. "Well. Hello Mitchell." I replied, taking the empty sit beside her. "It's been what? Four , fi
As this book is approaching an end..I'll love to appreciate those of you that stood by me. I want to say thank you for the votes..... I've got something to keep pushing me forward after fighting writers block....keep voting and making me proud.special thanks goes to ... Joy Esplana, Ashley, Katila Ailer, Kelli Harrison and Annetjie Steyn... you're all motivations....thank you.*. *. .....*. *. *. *. *. "Holdup, girl!! You definitely are going to wear that to your boyfriend's graduation?" Meredith asked, looking at the piece of clothing in my hands like it was thrash."Ofcourse!" I rolled my eyes, "Give me two reasons why I shouldn't wear jeans to my boyfriend's graduation.""Girl, you wanna be a laughing stock? Alright. You want to go down greenville's history book looking like that? Alright." Foluke squared her shoulders. "Problem is, you're my friend and I can't let you go to Greenville's high graduation looking like that.
I recounted my experience with the girls, not leaving out a single detail." You're a woman now." Foluke cupped my cheek, sounding like I had achieved something precious. "He definitely got plans for you.""Yeah?" Meredith grinned. "I can't believe you finally did it, and imagine, the both of you twinning!! It's like a dream!"I rolled my eyes. " We're not twinning, Meredith." I replied. "Call it a coincidence, maybe. Ray personally handpicked these clothes from his closet.""You don't say!" Bisola grabbed my shoulders. "These are Ray's clothes? Damn girl! I heard he shops from top brands!""Well, there's only one way to dispell that rumour." Meredith said, leaning in and reaching for the label at the back of the tee, "Louis Vuitton?" She grinned. "He definitely comes from wealth."Foluke rolled her eyes. " Coming from a fashion model? Meredith, you practically land your hand on these clothes before they come to us. What you on about exactly?"We laughed out loudly. "Meredith has alwa
