“You mean to say, the General Ipkiss of the Secretary of Defense?” Chadwick Gibson asked with widened eyes in astonishment and a triumphant smile. “Is there any other General Yussef Ipkiss in this country? Please educate me,” Nicole made her face look worried she was mistaken. “If you can ask for his help, I am very sure no one would dare threaten my department and make any of my staff lose their jobs,” Mister Gibson clapped his hand as he answered. “What do you want me to do?” Chadwick Gibson may be older than the student right in front of him, but with how powerful this girl’s background can be, she is untouchable and it would be like hitting one’s head into an unbreakable wall if anyone dared to go against her. “Well, I guess we have to deal with the issue lightly first. If our efforts fail, then that is when we call for backup. What do you say, sir?” Nicole answered politely. Mister Chadwick used to be a swimming athlete. According to the school’s introduction of its swimming
“I don’t know how to do that right now,” Mike answered. “I don’t know how to slow down. Because I am worried I’m in facing homelessness. And it might even happen sooner than I could ever dare to imagine, so bear with me. Please….?” Mike gave his friend a pitiful look then he chugged the left of the beer in his bottle and finished it, bottoms up.“Man, if your brother knew you’re here,” Justin worriedly uttered. “He will think I am dragging you to my wicked ways. Not that I mind when people misinterpret or judge me, but not your big bro, man, you know that, right?” “I am sure he wouldn’t even notice this….” Mike sighed. Then, he glanced at Justin and mumbled. “I just wish he has somewhere or someone he can go to and share his thoughts with, just like I have you….”Mike shook his head and was about to chug on his drink but realized it was already empty. Mike looked at the cooler. It was a few steps away from where he was slumped on the floor and the need to get up to get another bott
“What the hell are you talking about?!” Mike asked indignantly. “Who’s into men?!” “You!” Justin replied in the same tone. “Aren’t you?” “Not that I am against anyone who has their preferences with genders, but I am happy with being into women. I don’t have any idea what makes you think I am into men,” Mike chuckled as he tried to clarify whatever misunderstanding his friend Justin had in mind. Justin was confused. He stared at Mike for a while and when he noticed his friend was not fazed at the words he just said like Mike was more than confident he knew what his gender preferences are. Justin cleared his throat and made his thoughts known to Mike as if he was confused himself. “Well, you mentioned earlier that a friend of yours saw what happened, right?” Justin started. “Yes, and?” Mike answered after a gulp of his beer. “And you said that you knew this friend did not want you to touch someone else’s lips, right?” Justin eagerly argued. “Yes. Because I know my friend is a po
Nicole was not sure she heard the other person on the line correctly. It was a name only one person called her and still does, actually. It was a nickname only Mike dared to make for her, and hypocrisy aside, Nicole loved to hear Mike call her that way. The boldness in the man’s action to ignore Nicole’s words of rejection to be called by that name amused her, thus making Nicole tolerate Mike’s disobedience. And disobedience is something Nicole does not tolerate at all until Mike came to the surface of her bratty lifestyle. She tried to focus on listening, but two men’s voices were audible from the other end of the phone call, so she was having difficulty admitting that the person who called her “Nicky” was the same person she had in her mind right now. Unable to identify the person by listening to his voice, the two guys seemed to be arguing about who to speak with Nicole over the phone to clarify both their sides to the lady; they both groaned in frustration when the line was sudd
“Why would he drop dead?” Justin asked in astonishment and disbelief combined. Justin was somehow pretty aware that Nicole Parker can do so much, such as hire someone to assassinate anyone she might wish to disappear in the face of the earth. He was excited and aghast to witness such capability, even through words alone. The power she possesses in Justin’s eyes and understanding is overwhelming. ‘Pack!’“Fuck!” Justin groaned when he felt another slap had landed crispily on the back of his head. Unlike earlier, when he first felt the slap on his head, he did not see who lifted a hand to do so. This time, he had his eyes on Nicole as if he was too eager to see her reply to his query, so he saw everything. From the moment Nicole raised her right arm to when her hand swung open, and her palm landed on Justin’s head, Justin and Mike saw all of them. Bu Justin did not even get the moment to think about avoiding Nicole’s hands. He seemed to be taken by great surprise that he was only a
“Did he call?” Nicole asked Justin over the phone on her way to the Uni the next morning.“I waited the whole night, but nada!” Justin answered, jumping from his bed, only to drop down on it again. He got pulled down by the blanket that he got wrapped around with, while the rest of the fabric was wound around the girl he spent the whole night with.“Well, if that is the case, just let the video clip spread all over the internet. Just make sure you do not get traced. If you can’t do the job clean, just let me know, and I will ask someone else. I don’t want to clean up after someone else’s brown mess,” Nicole stated firmly.“I can do that. I don’t want my ass getting kicked from all sides. And I am not stupid to ignore the fact that am
Nicole was in a happy mood again as she enjoyed her mint choco-flavored ice cream on the way to the University. She did not step out of the vehicle until the pint was empty and headed to her classroom to start her day. “Nicky!”A familiar voice reached Nicole’s ears as she started to walk on the side pathway with a roof above it. She took a halt in her tracks but did not turn around. She was perfectly confident of who could be calling her. “Good morning!” Mike cheerfully greeted as soon as he caught up with Nicole. “You sound chirpy,” Nicole coldly stated. Well, she doesn’t seem to know how to express her emotions other than this way. “Not that I am complaining, though. I like this you way better than the Mike I sent home last night, a bit tipsy from a bottle of beer, as I have heard.”Mike roared in a more gleeful hoot of laughter. “I haven’t said thanks for the lift last night. My apologies. And thank you for so many things. Before I forget….” Mike cleared his throat before coll
