Alyssa lowered her head playing with the hem of her yellow dress. Quinn had presented it to her last night and it fitted her tiny body perfectly. She was not the type with a hour glass shape but she wasn't the flat type.
She was very shy and prayed the floor to open up and swallow her. All eyes were on Quinn and his entourage. To make matters worse, the Mr. Davidson came to greet Quinn and led the way to her hostel.When they got to her hostel, Quinn Winters shot Mr. Davidson a glance.Mr. Davidson wiped the invisible beads sweat on his forehead.“ Since you came a bit late, the rooms were already occupied so....I'm afraid that...”Alyssa gulped and stared at Quinn. He seemed unbothered by the fact she won't be staying in the dorm. She pulled a long face and Quinn noticed it.He moved to pat her hair but she dodged and lowered her head with a pout. He moved close to her and placed his handsAlyssa got into the lecture room quite early and found a place to seat. She watched as other students tripped into the class till it got filled up. “ Do you mind if I seat beside you’’ A girl with a blonde hair and green eyes approached Alyssa with a smile.“ Sure” She moved her bag from the chair. “ OMG....you managed to buy this bag! ” Bianca exclaimed but quickly covered her mouth. Alyssa stared at her bag but saw nothing wrong with it. Everything was arranged by Quinn so she didn't have the faintest idea why Bianca looked surprised. “ You know what, this bag is the only one of it's kind in the whole world. It was designed by T.Y, the legendary designer. This was his first time to design a bag. My dad attended the auction. It worth more than a million ”She said in hush tone. Alyssa's mouth dropped in surprise as she quickly placed the bag on the table in attempt to prot
Alyssa took a seat in a quiet corner and laid her bag on the table so no one could see her. Even so, she could hear the boys' whistling and snickering from a distance.She suddenly became aware of many legs approaching her. She glanced up to see who it was...Alyssa shivered nervously as Natalie smirked.She cast a peek over to the three girls alongside her, who quickly squished Alyssa into the centre of their group.Natalie took Alyssa's hand in hers and drew her closer. She pretended to be terrified as she stared at Alyssa's injuries, which had already stopped bleeding.“ " I have a band-aid on hand." Let's see how that goes. " Natalie smiled reassuringly at the terrified Alyssa.She yanked her hand away from Natalie's grasp and lowered her gaze. " I'm OK. You don't have to be concerned."Natalie's cheeks was flushed with rage. Her fingers dug into Alyssa's cheeks as she grasped her chin.Alyssa's eyes began to water again as the rims of her eyelids became wet. Many of the students
“ I'm glad you finally have the time to accompany me. Quinn is always busy with work that it's been a while since I've had a chat with him. Tina....you should speak to him. Tell him family is more important that work. ”A middle aged woman said tenderly holding Tina's hand as they browsed the antique shop. Tina nodded obediently with a smile. “ Rest assured Mrs. Winters, I will make sure I talk to him. It's just that....Now that Quinn is married, it's understandable that he won't have time for you since his new wife may want his attention. ”Mrs Winters pretty face turned into a frown as her eyes narrowed. She pressed Tina's hand gently and sighed. “ This girl is really too much! I didn't object when Quinn decided to get married to her because that was the only way out. You should talk to Quinn more often and don't allow that lowly wench to bewitch him. Quinn is very fickle and almost easy to deceive once he sees a person with a kind heart. ”Tina bit her lip and shrugged her shou
Bianca and Alyssa walked through the corridor silently till they got closer to the sports center and heard the loud noise of girls shouting on top of their lungs. Alyssa tilted her head and tried to understand what was going on. Even as they were standing, several girls rushed past them into the sports center. “ What's going on? Is something happening today?” Alyssa asked. Alternating gazes between Bianca and other girls . “ Oh...yeah. George will be playing basketball today. I guess that's the reason. How about we also watch the competition? It's between first year sports students and sophomore sports students.” “ No...I will pass. I don't even know how to watch basketball match.”“ It's okay. A lot of girls don't even know what basketball is. They only watch because of George. Let's feed our eyes” Bianca pulled Alyssa along.Alyssa allowed herself to be dragged. It would actually be nice to see the George she was referring to. She had heard from somewhere that handsome guys are
Alyssa woke up with a banging head, feeling all confused. She reached for her phone at the bedside drawer but couldn't find it. She finally opened her eyes. What greeted her was a room different from what she had grown accustomed to. She sprang up from the bed,her eyes wider than saucers. Her eyes ran round the room with her brain working faster than usual. “ What the hell am I doing here” She could literally hear her heart beating against her chest in fright. Her lower lips quivering when she noticed she had a male shirt on. She heard footsteps nearing the door. Her breath quickened as she tried to think. In no time, the door opened and she saw George walk in with a smile. “ Hey...you up? You look like you've just seen a ghost. Are you alright?” George sounded genuinely concerned seeing how white her face had turned. He moved towards her but she quickly evaded his touch. He stared at her then his hand. He placed it in his pocket. “ I have prepared some clothes for you. Wash u
Quinn left the engine of his car running as he got out and rested on his car. Fortunately, there weren't a lot of people going about . He looked around and caught sight of a familiar figure speaking to a guy that had his hands in his pocket. Since the boy was wearing a face cap he was unable to clearly see his face. Quinn took a step towards them. His face was as dark as a pot. “ Quinn wait! ” Tina called out as she ran to meet him. She held his wrist tightly, pressing her lips together. Whatever he was about to do would surely make him regret it later. Tina knew how had Quinn temper can be when he gets angry. To her surprise, rather than pushing her away, he calmly held her hand and prier it away from his hand. “ You really shouldn't jump into conclusion. How about you give her a call and ask for her whereabout. If she tells you the truth then I don't think she has anything to hide. ” Tina suggested staring hopefully at Quinn. Quinn stared at his phone and silently dialed her
Alyssa took a deep breath. It was best to tell him all that happened. She didn't want him to find out all by himself which would cause a rift between their blooming relationship. Just before she could open her mouth to speak, a man in suit entered and bowed ninety degree before Quinn. “ Sir, it's time.” He announced respectfully. Quinn Winters nodded nonchalantly. He took long strides out of the lounge without sparing Alyssa a glance. Alyssa was downcast but she had no choice but to follow Quinn. She was supposed to be excited since that would be the first time she was travelling out of the country. But she was far from being excited. *Quinn Winters had ignored her all day till they drove to his penthouse. He had only managed to utter about five to six words before heading out leaving her alone in the vast house. It was all strange to her. For one, she thought they were heading straight to the old residence. Although though back at her matrimonial home it was wide and spacious,
Alyssa and Quinn got out of the car and coincidentally met with Tina who was just about to walk in. Tina sighted the both of them and walked over to their side. Alyssa didn't know what to feel when she noticed they were putting on the same type of dress. Alyssa's was red while Tina's dress was white. Although Alyssa was unhappy, she still complimented Tina's beauty in her heart. “ Alyssa It's nice to have you here. How about we head inside together? Quinn you don't mind right?” Tina raised her brows expectantly waiting for his response. Quinn stated at Alyssa then nodded his head. “ That's great.” Tina smiled and pulled Alyssa along. “ I had to pull you away from him because I noticed you were looking uncomfortable. ” She cast a look over Alyssa. “ Is something going on between you two?”Alyssa twisted her lips and stared down at her feet. Tina sighed and touched Alyssa's palm. “ I know Quinn better than you do and I know how to pacify him whenever he is annoyed about something
