I am scared and agitated. I took my hands away from the table and clasped them together on my laps. If I could command the earth to parted I would have done it. This man is giving me the hardest time with just his presence.
He is a few steps away from me, I know because I could see his ever expensive sneakers. My eyes pinned on the marble floor and nowhere else. His cologne different from Theo is now swirling around the cafeteria. Everywhere so silent and tensed.Slowly I heard his hands coming towards me. I do not know it's purpose and I do not wish to know. My heart thudding crazily against my chest. I feel like dying, praying for someone to rescue me and my savior arrived just in time." Don't you dare " I Heard the familiar voice of Theo and at once I look up to see him gripping JL's wrist, stopping the prince of FFC from touching me at all. Relief like never before washes over me when I saw Theo. I immediately get on my feet and goes behind him.JL watched me with his perfect hazel eyes. I do not know what that gaze says because it held no expression but I could feel the enmity from Theo and him bouncing back and forth.Theo shove back JL's wrist away harshly then glare at him coldly. Both the two gorgeous man glaring at each other disdainfully. By their look I could see they both seem to have an unsolved grudges In the past.Theo turns to me and smile gently to my face just like always." Are you alright? Are you hurt ? "Words clogged at my throat at his immersed care. I slowly shook my head in the negative and he sigh. I was wondering why he had come back when I saw him goes to the table and picked up the book he had forgotten. " Come on, let's go "He pulled me out and I followed him. Everyone's eyes on me and all. I could see JL staring at me until I disappear from his sight. He surely must still loathe me for leaving him years ago.Theo pulled me out of the cafeteria and stop abruptly before an old car which seem to be waiting for him. I turn slightly to him and he tried to smile but failed. His face won't agree to that expression so he decided to be truthful. He dropped my wrist and folded his hands unto his chest." What is JL doing with you? "" I don't know. I.. don't know why he comes up to me " I frown slightly as I guess maybe it's because he learnt I am his step sister. I look up at Theo. " I think he learnt I am his..."" You should stay away from him. He is a bad guy " Theo interrupted with a frown. " You shouldn't go with a guy like that and..."" Excuse me Theo , I think you misunderstood. I wasn't with JL. He only walks into the cafeteria and come up to me "" There must be a reason for that "I spread my arms dejectedly as I let out a sigh of frustration. I am having a hard time in explaining to Theo what is going on. He wasn't even listening.He saw how miserable I am so he brushes his hair with his fingers before pulling me into his arms for a hug. His chest so solid and his embrace so warm and friendly.I couldn't help but be taken by surprise at how perfect we both are in each others arms. I fitted in perfectly as though I am made solely for him. I am lost in him, entirely but Theo pulled back slowly and smile gently at my face." I need to go home for some hours. I will call you when I'm back, okay? "" Okay Theo. Be careful on your way " I whispers softly and he nodded. He extended his hand to my wrist and pull me with it, encouraging me to walk with him.Theo lead me to the student resident hall and left me standing before the great building." I should go now " He said. " Take care of yourself till then "He turn and walks towards the old car that has followed us. I watched as Theo lowered himself in this old car and drove away from my sight. Judging by how inexpensive he has dressed, unlike JL. Despite that I have come to like Theo so much. He is the perfect friend I have always yearn for.After seeing the massive gate of FFC opens for Theo's car to go out, I turn around and walk into the student hall. Luckily no one is in sight now. The student seem to have been gone out.I headed to room 107 this time and decided to know. I received no answer at first but then I overheard keache's voice." Come in "I pushed open the door and walks in but this time I saw a blond almost getting dressed. I turn slightly to Keach who stood before the mirror which is at a corner. She is brushing her hair.I know perfectly well this wasn't the lady I caught her with earlier. Keach had brought in another lover after that one left? Oh great!" Oh Keach. This is your new roommate? " The blonde asked but didn't wait for Keach to reply before she comes up to me and smile. " I'm nectar, keache's girlfriend "I couldn't speak for sometime because I pitied the lady who seem so nice. She isn't too beautiful but she has this smile that light up the whole room in a good way." I'm dahlia. Nice to meet you nectar "" Same here. I hope you love it in FFC. Stay away from the Kourtney girls to be safe and obviously never goes to JL if you want to stay long in the school " Nectar advised before chuckling lightly. She turns to Keach and goes to her. She slowly wrapped his hands around keache's waist before placing a kiss at the nape of my roommate but Keach didn't react to this.She only continues brushing her hair. I realized something isn't too right between the two. I decided to stay out of it. I put down my bag and books them walk Into the bathroom where I took a long shower. I walks out to the room later on , clad in the towel I Gab found in the bathroom which has DL initial.Nectar has left but keach is still in the room. She is sitting behind the desk with laptop before her. She turns slightly when she heard my movement." I'm sorry Dahlia for bringing in ladies. I promise to do better next time "I stop abruptly in mid air. I have never expected her to apologized. It isn't worth it. I lowered my head, allowing my long dark hair to fall forward. I turn to my roommate with a smile on my face." You don't need to apologize. I understand "I look away from her and ruminated in my dresser for a while before settling on a simple gown. I walks to the refrigerator where I pulled out a drink and finally goes to sit on my bed with a sigh." Today has been a long day " I mutters under my breathe. " I can't even imagine going out anymore "Keach who was listening to my words turn around. His eyebrows lifted up in question." I thought you still got to go for sport "" It's not compulsory to go for sport, right? "A low laugh escaped keache's throat and she sigh." FFC is vastly different dahlia. You will have to be enrolled in any sport of your choice so when the competition arises with some other colleges, you or anyone that's the best would represent us "" Why aren't you going for sport if truly it's compulsory every day ? " I asked her and she shrugged." I have some project to do as you can see but I will be there tomorrow to face the wrath from my coach and be trained for another extra hours "" Oh " I mutters weakly. I would hate to be disturbed for another hour. I get up from the bed and pulled out my schedule which Mrs coopers has presented to me last night. I am looking for the sport she had assign me to but the space was blank. " Hmm? I am not assigned into any club "" You will choose for yourself dahlia " Keach corrected with a small smile playing on her face. " I go for tennis since I couldn't do any other sports "" Have you ever lead the school to competition? " I asked curiously and she shook her head." Nope but the prince of FFC has lead us to many victories. There is no one compare to him when it comes to..."The words of Keach was interrupted by a firm knock on our door. I turn slightly to stare at Keach as though to ask her who is knocking." You are expecting someone? Because I am not " she said and I shook my head in the negative. Theo who is only my friend is out and he doesn't even know my room. Keach stood up from where she sat and goes to the door and ease it opens. " Huh? " She said to the guest only her could see. After some seconds she opens the door wider and the lady comes in.I was already sipping my drink but choked on it when my eyes saw Corrine coming in. I swallow hard as I stare at her. What is she doing in here?To answer my question Corrine slowly fell on my feet, tears trailing down her eyes in no time. Keach was whiten with shock. She looks at me but I turn my head away to sealed away the truth." You are involved with Kourtney and JL already? " She asked and I turn to her. " Dahlia these people are dangerous. Why would you ever get mixed up in their feud ? "" I am not involved with anyone " I defended." Then why is Corrine here for the first time? "" We should asked her " I replied before turning to the lady before me. Corrine lifted up her head and sniffed. I pulled her up from the floor and make her sit beside me on the bed. I failed to know why anyone will be able to do nothing when being bullied." What's going on? Is everything okay? " I asked even though I know nothing is okay. If everything is fine Corrine won't be here shedding tears of agony. To my question Corrine brought out her cellphone and extended it to me.I received the mobile carefully then stare at the screen which shows a video which has been paused. I lowered my eyelids for sometime, telling myself to be calm.With my finger slightly shivering, I played this video and the content is so Unsaints to watch. The video clip shows Corrine getting dressed up. Her whole body was filmed throughly without missing any part.This makes me shuddered and I look up at the beautiful lady who looks not too different than I am. Her hair long just like mine, her body a little slimmer than mine." JL promised to post this video in the school group tonight. I..I do not know what to do anymore. I am left in ruins and I won't survive if the video got out. I only tried to.. to .." tears do not allow Corrine to finish her words.I heave an heavy sigh as my skin got covers up in goosebumps. JL is someone else. The jasper I know in the past would never pry on a lady's privacy and threaten her this way.My gaze got to Keach who only look away with a sad expression. There is nothing no one could do. I can see it already. No one will dare go against the prince of FFC but I can and I will. After all I am the Princess. The princess of FFC.I keep her calm. I told her I will stop JL from posting anything on the school group chat. I have given Corrine hope before telling her goodbye. All the while Keach couldn't stop staring at me. She has a surprise expression on her face. Obviously thinking where I have got the courage from. " what is going on Dahlia? This JL you are preparing to go against is the don of a quintillionaire. His father is that great man Lawn. Do you have any slightest idea how much you are risking your whole family for this girl Corrine? " After Corrine left our room feeling quite relieved Keach ask me this. She didn't wait for me to reply before she continues. " You should stay away from JL dahlia. That guy won't spare you. He is so capable of... " " I don't have any intention to go into a war with him. I do not have any intention to... Fight with him financially Keach. I just want to beg him not to post that video of Corrine " I replied softly as I look up to Keach. Obviously no one, not a small singl
My eyes slowly opens and I look up to take in my environment. The warmth I feel so suiting. The bed I laid on so comfy and the scent I am perceiving so different. I wipes off the dizziness in me and I sat up to take in my room. No wait! My breath caught up in my throat when I caught the sight of JL sitting not too far away. He is on a wooden perfect chair so busy and engrossed in his laptop. I look around with my body shivering and I realized I am in his room. This truth scared me so much and I sprang up from the bed with my jaw rattling. I am still cold and a little sick. I look down to my body to see I'm putting on a baggy tshirt that fell on my lap. This isn't mine and looking further I realized I am not putting on any bra and feeling myself I realized I am not putting on any panties. This discovery brought my heartbeat to start racing. I dashed at once to JL who hasn't been expecting my presence. I slammed my hand at his desk, earning his utmost attention. " How do I get here
" You need a hot meal. Thankfully nectar is an expert when it comes to making a hot dish. She should be here in anytime to cook for you " Keach was just finishing her words when a knock came to the door. " Oh, it must be her " I gulped down hard as I thought it might be Theo but no, the guest isn't Theo but nectar. The last clad in a jean and a simple blouse that shows off her breasts outlines. I saw her smile lustfully at Keach who didn't pay her much attention. " Hi, what's up? " The lady asked as she enters further into the room. Her gaze caught me laying on the bed and at once she bent to me. Her face furrow together in concern that even me get surprised by her care. " Oh Dahlia. Are you alright? Wait a second " she turns to Keach. " Is she the one our Prince saved in the pool? " " Yeah. Dahlia " Keach replied smoothly. she is busy getting her bag ready for the night class. Nectar turns to me and sigh. " Oh,poor you. I have phobia on so many things but not water. You shouldn't
In a twinkle of an eye I saw Theo glare once at my direction then he turn away and walk out of the room. I felt my heart shattering at his exit. I feel so bad that I headed towards the door, ready to kneel and beg him but no. JL would never let me. He caught my wrist all of a sudden and I shivers in shock. Slowly JL ease me backward so I would face him. I look up to his face and I was stunned at his expression mow. His Hazel eyes which was sparkling with lust and passion a while ago had now took another turn. JL's face couldn't help but display the jealousy he felt. His Hazel eyes almost blooming into golden lights. I tried to take a step backwards but he gripped my wrist tightly, almost hurting me. I wince at this and he loosen his grip a little. " Why would you ever be involved with a guy like that? Don't you know who he is? " JL's words makes me confused. He turn away from me and set his jaw " I forbade you into seeing Theo anymore " I wrench away my wrist from him and I offer
" I will think about your words dahlia " Theo finally said, breaking the silence between us. He lean forward for sometime then pull back. " What happened? How do you fell into the pool? " Now I am out of words. I bite my lower lips for sometime while thinking about a way out. It will be bad if I mentioned JL again and how I have woken up in his room. Theo saw me battling with myself so he reached out to give my palm a soft squeeze. " It's fine. Keep it to yourself if you don't wish to share. You are still cold " " Yeah. I'd like some tea though. Nectar, my girlfriend's roommate made one for me a while ago " Theo stare into my eyes for sometime then he stood up abruptly with his Palm extended to me. " Come here, let's get you some hot tea then " " Okay! I am sure the school cafeteria would still have it " " FFC cafeteria Won't provide tea at this time but I know where we can get one. Come on " I accepted his hand and he lift me up with that. Together Theo and I walks slowly to w
The journey back to FFC is such a long one to me without Theo. My heart has already drawn to him and I have forgotten entirely about my step brother. When the car ease Into the school I let out a soft sigh. I do not bother to tell the man where to drop me because Theo had given him the order already. I said my thank you when the man behind the wheel stop at the student resident hall and I alighted. I feel so tired and sad that I failed to notice the luxurious car that was parked at a side. I enters the hall and opens my room slowly but I was compelled to stop abruptly when my vision took in the man behind the window and the other that was sitting on the chair. " Dad " I whispers in shock. I have never expected lawn to come over to FFC himself. He has been the most busiest man according to the news but here he is standing over the window. " Dad? " " Where have you been? " He asked me softly and I Shivers. Lawn turn to me and I saw his Hazel eyes flickering in anger. " I came here t
My eyelids fluttered and I let out a low sigh. I felt the soothing hands on my body and I smile gently as I lean over completely. I have slept off in.. wait a second! I lifted up my head very slowly to see JL's face. He wasn't looking at me though. He was busy reading the book before him as though his life depends on it. I gaze at him for a long time without him knowing. His focus, his red lips, his squared jaw and thick eyelashes makes me sigh again. Why would the lord created someone so perfectly? My soft breath finally announced that I am awake. JL turn his head to stare at me and I was held Captivated with those hazel eyes once more. My lips quivering for unexpressed relief. I watched as his palm came to my forehead before it slide down to my arm. " You are feeling better I think. I will take you to FFCC later on. Come here, lean over. I will be done with my book in a few minutes " His offer is so sincere and innocent but I can't bring myself to accept it. I love JL, I know I
" Being a quintillionaire's son all about JL is on the media. He is like the small god. The precious son. His heart couldn't be triggered by old news. He just won't survive it. Once a student TD had caused JL pain . JL's heart was triggered and he barely survive the attack. His brain went into turmoil and we all could only imagine how much Mr Lawn, his father spent. His dad makes many donation to the school and makes everyone promise not to trigger his son's anxiety. I love Mr Lawn, he is the perfect dad for JL " I didn't Interrupted Keach as she took me to a journey of speech. All my attention on her. When she finished I let out a low sigh. Now I have a lot of reasons to never open up for JL and the more reason to stay away from him entirely. I gulped down hard as I dropped my bag and Pulled off Theo's cloth. I later walks into the room with another simple dressed. " What should I make for lunch? I am starving " I said to my room mate who cocked up an eyebrow. " What? " " I thoug
" Do you think it's the best idea? " I heard Keach asked behind me. " Taking him unaware could means many things " " I have to know Keach before I could make another movement. Theo's faithfulness will determine my next action " Keach and I walks out of our room and goes out into the night. So my roommate and I had concluded to pay Theo an august visit. My plan is to catch him red-handed in the act of cheating me. This would be a relief to me actually and an excuse to be out of the ill bond. The cold night wind blow out aggressively and I breathe out shakily. " I think we should be expecting rain tonight dahlia " " Whatever. We should focus on our mission to TDR " After walking for some minutes we Arrived before Theo's resident. I turn to see keach staying back. " What's up? The plan is we will in go together " " One has to stay and keep watch. Give me a yell if things go ugly " I had to scoff but then headed in. If I caught Theo with the professor then I will act mad and da
Theo stop his car before a large restaurant and help me alight. When I look up I saw the initial tag name that makes me smile. The building belongs to none other than his father. Elegantly I walk forward and Theo stayed by my side with his hand at the small of my back. The staffs all bow in respect before the heir of all Ductal's wealth and I felt hairs on my pores standing at it's end. In no time they dashes towards their post and act professional. It's great to school in a college that host the wealthies. Here I am, a poor lady of the past beside one of the richest heir in the City. " Please this way " A fine man in suit says. He ushered us to a gorgeous corner where he smiles softly at Theo and me. " I will call unto the waitress to take your order sir " The man left and I watched till he disappear from sight. I might be wrong but I think I caught him shivering and sweating. Wealth! It could do and undo in just a jiffy without any stress. " That's the manager here. Don't min
I slowly walk into the room where JL is. He had retired to his room after what had happened minutes ago. I almost feel his agony and hatred. His father had pushed him too far and he never shows sympathy. When I step into the room I saw JL dressing up for another training. I almost cried for him. He hasn't been resting or sleeping well. Slowly I walk to him and hug him from behind. " I'm sorry JL. I'm sorry I couldn't be of help " I mutter and to my awe JL walk ahead, breaking off the physical contact.He marched forward to get his duffel bag then turn to me. His eyes were guarded and distant. " I am off to training. Can you drive? " He asked me and I dropped my jaw for some seconds before gulping down. " Yeah " " Well, let's go then. You can drop me off at the training section while you drive yourself to the resident hall " I didn't move an inch and I got my reasons. Why the hell would JL keeps me at arm's length? His eyes are extremely distant. Probably because of Dad? I wa
" Come here princess " My step dad says as we left the large hall. After making everything official, Dad had pull me out and headed towards the luxurious car that was parked. I have thought he only wants me to escort him to his car but when we get there, he opened the car door for me to enter. " Uh... Dad I thought you are going alone " " No. Your mother wishes to see you and I would love to introduce JL to her today as well " I turn to see JL actually coming along too but he was Busy with some school authorities. " Good morning Mr Dylan " I whispers softly as I entered the car and sat down at the backseat. He was at the driver's seat, waiting for everyone to settled In. " Hi princess " He replied with a smile as he glanced at me briefly through the visor. He is such a beautiful man. I returned the smile before staring out. There I saw dad leaning over the car. He hasn't enter. His utmost attention was on his only son. I saw a smile curling up at the corner of his lips proudly
The hall is a very large one. The types that I have only seen in TV. That day I know there is more to FFC than I have thought. There at the top, before everyone is Mrs coopers with the microphone. A bright smile on her face as she addressed every seated students. I turn to see JL and Theo seated across each other at the podium. They are not staring at each other but before then was two books.Keach stirred me gently to take my seat at the middle and I lowered myself on the space. My eyes never left JL's face. How he dressed up expensively and how his hair was curled up now. On his wrist is the popular wristwatch of the wealthies brand. $50,000,000 or more would the watch possibly cost. I look away from him finally and turn to Theo. He is different on the stage. Different from minutes ago when he has given me the necklace that has his initial tag name. It's around my neck now. I wore it. I have to obey Theo somehow. I know the relationship between JL and I won't work out. I was s
" Is this how you tried to play petty so you could discourage me from toping JL? " That was Theo's next question that stole away my breath. " Dahlia is this how you tell lies just... " " I am telling you the truth Theo! " I yelled out crazily. He just said something about me playing petty for JL's sake. No! " Why should I tell lies about someone being my father? Mr Lawn of Lawn Tower is set to marry mother. He enrolled me into this college. Provided everything that I needed. He is a good man and as for JL, I would never play petty concerning his win or loss. He is a fighter. He is determined to take the throne away from you Theo. If I were you I won't be too relaxed. Once jasper Lawn is set to do something, nothing else would keep him away. Now if you will excuse me. I should go back to my room before my boyfriend whom I have sacrifice so much tears for to start calling me a liar " I stood up at once , goes to the room and put on my clothes, leaving the nightdress on the bed. I grab
" Here's your cellphone " Theo said when he returns. I look up to his face and get up to my feet to receive the mobile he had extended. Theo caught my wrist with that movement and pull me to himself. His lips just few inches to mine. He searched my face but I do not give him any expression except the angry one I have laced. I am kinda mad at him but I know it won't be for long. Not when his lips has now being pressed to the nape of my neck. Not when his hands has started rubbing my back. In no time I lost myself in lust. I wounded my arms around his neck and he kissed me softly. Theo knows how to tease me with his tongue just as how JL know how to tease me with his lips. I moan into his mouth and let out a soft sigh when he pulled away, my eyes already Hungry and sparkling. Theo stare at me this time and smile gently. " I'm sorry for paying a little attention to you. I promise mother I will do better from now on " He said and instantly my breath caught up in my throat. By mother I
The morning sunlight from the window finally woke me up. I stirred lazily but then stop abruptly when I felt a hand on my waist. Slowly my eyes opens to see the most beautiful young man before my eyes. JL, jasper Lawn. He is sleeping. He hasn't slept for days and that he finally decided to take a nap, it turns out into a deep slumber. His thick hair so beautiful to watch. His pointed nose to his plumped lips that has pleasure me greatly last night. I tried looking away from him but the feelings of being loved held me Captivated, held me unmoving. Finally my eyes varies around and fell on the table Clock on the table which says it's already time for class. I have skipped so much class than necessary already and I shouldn't stay behind today. I had to learn. I know if dad get to hear about this, he would not forgive me. Slowly I pull away from JL and picked up my cellphone. My eyes couldn't find keach's clothes that I have wore yesterday so I decided to make do with JL's own. Thank
I stood dumbfounded as I watch him takes another tissues to clean his nose. He threw it away into the wastebasket and continues reading. My heart tightened at this and I threw up caution into the wind. I dashed towards JL in a jiffy. He turn just in time to see me. I pushed away the books before him and pulled him up to his feet angrily. " Why? Why are you doing this? Is it because you are heartbroken or because you want to defeat Theo? Why JL tell me! " JL didn't reply me. He only turn away and bent down to pick up his books. I watch in awe as he placed the books back to the bed and made to sit but I would have none of it. I threw series of punches at his solid chest, crying. The sight of him so horrible for me to watch. " Why the hell are you doing this JL? " He caught my two hands finally and stare into my eyes. His expression unread and his lips won't part for words. his eyes told me he hasn't slept at all in these three days. He must have been reading all through. I burst in
