I majestically walked into the plane and looked for my seat number which was next to that of Maya's. I slid next to her and got called out instantly by my mother.
"Come over, Jade. Come see this real quick." Mother waved for me to walk over to where she was with her hands, which I did.
On reaching the place, I hissed and went back to where I was sitting comfortably and plugged in my headphones when I had seen the guilty face of Tristan.
Mother walked over to where I was and tapped on my shoulder then gestured what was going on.
"Nothing. I just don't want to see him." I remembered the memory of how he had called another woman's name during our special and intense moment. How could he be thinking about another woman with me on top of him? "We had a little issue that I am not ready to resolve now. Please, do not get involved in it."
Mother nodded then turned to walk to her seat, but she stopped and returned to me. "Remember lo
Cameron's POVThe rate at which my heart was beating made me feel like it was going to combust in my chest and that would be the end of me. Maya's parent weren't the richest people in the world, but from the look of how well built their house in Manchester looked, they definitely had riches.What on Earth was I going to tell her father my occupation was?A funny scenario played in my head about me extending my hand to the father and saying, "Hi, my name is Cameron Parker and I am twenty years old. I'm in my third year in college."Instantly, I imagkmyy my head being replaced with that of a goat and I chuckled, rolling my hand into a fist and putting it over my mouth so I could use it as a means to cover up for laughing. I coughed into the fist and Jade threw stare daggers at me with a wrinkled nose."You're the only fart smelling here." I muttered and she smacked my chest with
We all rushed out of the house and got into the car we had driven here from aunt Amber's house."Daddy, no!" Maya screamed as she stood between her dad and the car. "If you want them out then I'm equally going with them."The father's eyes widened and I buckled my seat belt immediately, I didn't want to die before my time or before my kid was born."You'll do no such thing or I'll disown you!" The father thundered and mother zoomed off."Cameron!" Maya exclaimed, trying to run after the car, but the house help who had served us glasses of non-alcoholic whine encircled her waist with his hands and prevented her from following us. She struggled to free herself from his grip, but it was of no use. He was definitely stronger than her.How dare he touch my wife in such a manner? A vein popped out on the side of my head and I tried to shake the jealousy off. She was pregnant and nobody would be able to steal her away from me. The love she had for
Yesterday night was good, thanks to my sister who managed to brighten up my mood. I stood in front of a mirror, adjusting the collar of my denim shirt. I was good to go over to Maya's house again.Mother said she and Maya's mother had spoken yesterday and agreed to meet again today without the husband's knowledge. He had embarked on a journey today to come back tomorrow so it was an opportunity to meet up and talk about what was going on.I was done so I walked out of my room and climbed up the stairs, glancing around like it was my first time of coming here. There were numerous pictures and flower vssez that decorated the hall. One picture had aunt Amber holding up a sunflower with a smile on her face. The smile appeared to be a very genuine one.Mr Coleman was right behind her with his hands around her waist as if to say, "this property belongs to me."The faces changed and it was that of me and Maya. I shook my head and slapped my head nume
The aroma of food wafted into my nose and I resisted the urge to drool in front of Mrs Wilson. Maya had a striking resemblance with her mother and I must say I wanted my daughter to be the replica of Maya.Maya's mom excised herself to go bring her daughter and we were left in the sitting room alone, once again. I gestured for Jade to come closer to me, but she averted her gaze and pretended not to have seen me.I moved closer then tugged at her cloth. "C'mon, I'm sorry. I mean it this time.""On one condition," she said holding out her index finger. I arched my brows for her to go on. "You'd fix my screen for me.""Why don't you tell your father?" I asked, propping my chin on my palm. "Aren't you daddy's girl any more or is he now too occupied with Hailey and Lola?"I noticed how Jade's expression changed from hundred to zero at the mention of Lola or was she jealous father was spending a lot of time with work and Hailey?"Fathe
The last two days without Maya was boring. The day before yesterday, we went to meet and talk to her mother and it went pretty well. At least, I got to see my girl and her mother had promised to talk to her husband so he could tone down his anger.I had just gotten back from my morning jog and was on my way to see aunt Amber. She hadn't been really well and that was the reason she had sent a driver to pick us up from the airport.I knocked on her door and heard a soft come in from aunt Amber and I wouldn't lie, but she sounded like somebody that was dying.I pushed the door slowly and poked my head into the small hole, scanning the dark room for my aunt. My eyes made up a shape on the bed with her back against the door. She was covered under a duvet and she sniffled every once in a while."Flip to the flops?" She said in askance and I cleared my throat before saying, "No, it's Cam.""Oh." She sat up and blew her nose into a tissue paper
I picked myself up and felt like my head was being drilled with a nail and hammer. I held my head and winced, feeling a little dizzy. There was still soap all over my body and I needed to rinse off.I took gentle steps to the bathroom and rinsed under the shower. After that, I put on my slippers and walked out of the bathroom with the feeling that I'd still fall and this time around, I might slam my head on the sink.In order not to waste time, I put on a big, black shirt and black joggers with purple lines on the sides of the leg. I didn't bother applying cream, I needed to be there on time.My feet took me the fastest they could to the door. Opening the door, my baby sister who was about to knock on my door knocked on my chest instead and she laughed."I was just about to tell you I'm going shopping with Amber." She mused and I wind passed her, my legs touching the back of my head as I ran. They did not really touch the back of my head. "Whe
The rum rum was looking old, rough and not a place where a girl was meant to be. I had just told the cab to take me to rum rum and he didn't object or sound like he didn't know the place.After begging the driver to wait so he could take us back, I got down from the car and leaned my back on it, searching the whole area with my eyes for my sister.Jade was meant to be somewhere around here, but she wasn't so I brought out my phone and dialled her number. She took the call, sounding like she was shivering from a cold."Where are you?" I questioned and I heard shuffling sounds from her side of the phone."Been hiding in a big bush so a guy wouldn't see me and be pushed by the devil to do things that I would regret for the rest of my life," I whispered, while looking around like a thief."Can you come down to the rum rum place?" I held the phone to my ear and observed the place that was slowly becoming wild. I attended parties, yes. But t
I lifted her and whirled with her body still glued to mine in the air and giggles flew out of her mouth. It had been a really long time since we spent quality time with each other and I really missed her.This felt like some love Cinderella-No, Rapunzel's story where she never really had the time to spend with people because she was always locked up in a castle, away from humans and the one she loved."Cam-Cam, you're h-hugging me too tight." Maya stammered and stuttered then my eyes popped open.I released her and she went over to Jade, our mother and Amber to say hi. She walked back to my side and held my hand. With that, we walked into the room and was seated on the couch, waiting for her parents to show up.The sound of a door closing shut from the top floor made Jade jerk and I cleared my throat, getting ready for whatever her father was going to throw at me. It was clear he didn't like even a string of hair on my body.
My heart pounded violently and my throat became dry, I struggled to breathe as I dropped down on my knees, my hand gripping my stomach tight.That was the end, I knew I was going to die someday, but I didn't think it was going to be so soon and by a stalker who I once used as a rebound... Karma was real.Slowly, I bent my head to look at my bleeding stomach, but to my surprise, there wasn't a pool of blood on the floor. I raised my palm to look at it, but there was no sign of blood.But he shot me. My subconscious pointed out and I stared down at my stomach again. No blood.Must be my back.I rubbed on my lower back and viewed my hands for blood, but there was nothing."Oh!" A groan beside me caught my attention and I looked to the right.The saddening sight drilled a hole in my heart. My body shook internally as a frog sat comfortably in my thr
"W-what do you mean by you're here for what is yours?" I stuttered, rigid to the spot as a thousand and one ways he could hurt me flew around my head."You know what I mean..." He drawled, shoving his hands into his pockets. "My bitch."His words stung me and my eyes widened when I realized something. I shook the thought off and laughed."Stop this, it's not April fool's day, is it?" I questioned between laughs and glanced at my wrist watch before taking my gaze back to his face."What does gazing at your wrist watch have to do with this, Jade?" He tilted his head to the right with a mischievous grin playing at the corners of his lips."It shows dates too." I gulped and hoped it was a joke. "Quit scaring me, have you seen Tristan around?"I craned my neck to survey the area, but there was no other person on the building. I used the opportunity of looking for Tristan to take two steps away from him."Not so fast.
Father placed a box of ring in my palms and asked me if it was beautiful enough and if my mother would like it. After inspecting it with my eyes, I nodded and he bought it. We walked out of the jewelry store and I was super excited for both my parents. They had been seeing each other again and I couldn't wait for them to live together under the same roof again.I was depressed. My stalker wanted it to be the death of me, but I refused. He had been sending disturbing messages and pictures of myself in my underwear or even walking into a supermarket. He was following me every where and I never felt safe anymore.My phone rang and it was the same private number. I refused to take the call because I knew it was none other than the bastard that came to this world to frustrate my life.Dad was trying to work on it under ground, but it was moving very slowly because he wasn't using any help. We didn't want the stalker to suspect. I had strongly disagreed for h
Tristan's POVIt had been a while since Jade and I had spoken and I still didn't know what to do. Why I had said Lola's name that day, was a mystery to me. I couldn't just explain what had happened to me. My chest was heavy and I hardly got any sleep these days.I usually didn't sleep till five am then I wake up eight in the morning, very tired and weak like I had been beaten.I rubbed my chin as numerous thoughts raced through my head. I loved her and didn't want to lose her. I had gone to the airport to tell her about how deeply sorry I was for hurting her in anyway, but she chose to ignore me. It really hurt like a nail was used to stab my heart.I sat up on my chair when an idea popped up in my head so I rushed over to book a flight to Manchester. I needed to see the love of my life and I needed to apologise. I wasn't usually a mushy person, but Jade changed me. There was definitely no oth
We got to the house and halted down in front of a shiny Mercedes as instructed by Mr Thompson. It was already five in the evening and I was looking forward to seeing Maya again.She walked out of the house, buttered up in a black stretchy pants and a big tee shirt that had the writing, "daddy's girl" on it. The moment our eyes jammed, she smiled a warm one and waved at me. She adjusted her bucket hat and whispered something to her mom who pointed to her dad that was making a call by the other side of the house.She shrugged like she was saying, "I'd still do it anyway" to her mother. She ran to where I was and hugged me. She squeezed me a little and I patted her head. It was really cute the way our height difference was."Girl!" Jade and Maya exclaimed as they hugged each other so tightly, I feared Jade's big stomach would push out the baby. Goodness!"Careful, do not hurt my child." I pointed, going to separate the two breads buttered
The next morning, she wasn't by my side and I wasn't exactly surprised. I mean, that was what she usually did to me.I got up and headed for the bathroom before dragon Lord came. I didn't want to hear about how he thought the name CeCe suited me because I used hours to prepare for the day.I scrubbed fast and dashed out of the bathroom then put on the uniform. Were we going camping or something?There was a knock on the door and I swore to punch whoever it was. It was early in the morning and they wouldn't even leave me be. They are already by my door, knocking for me to go down stairs and suffer in the hands of that man.He was molesting me! Emotionally and not physically, by the way."Who's that?" I questioned and a British accent made it's way into the room."Mr Thompson wants to see you now." She stated and took her leave after I had told her I was going to be there anytime soon. I walked out of the room and got
I went down to the maid quarters and knocked on the door, waiting patiently for the maid... Was she Nancy or what was her name again? I couldn't remember.The door swung open and a maid with chocolate colored skin stood by the door way. Her eyes were grey just like Jade's, but prettier. Her hair was covered with a black maiden's cap and I could only see her front hair, which was curly. Her eye brows were funnily shaped, but her long lashes complimented her face and I must say, she was very beautiful."Hello?" She smiled and I could have sworn my heart walked out of my chest and threw cat wheels. "Can I help you?""W-well, I'm here to see uhm... What's her name again? She told me Maya's dad wanted to see me, but needed me to do something first." I stuttered then she opened the door so I could see her."Emily!" The maid I was used to exclaimed and the chocolate skinned girl laughed then closed the door so
He clapped his hands, giving me a round of applause and tucked in the sides of his mouth."If it isn't the queen of England." He announced with humor in his eyes. "Do you need us to roll a red carpet on the floor for you?" He asked sarcastically and I chewed the insides of my cheeks. This man was just unbelievable. I couldn't put up with his shit.I stood with my hands behind my back and waited for him to stop his shenanigans so we could go for the morning jog and make it back home on time."Let's leave, CeCe." He gestured his hands for us to run, but I looked behind me, wondering who the hell he was referring to as some CeCe. "You heard me Cameron, your new name is CeCe.""How about I make your new name ass hole?" I mumbled as I shoved my hands into the pocket of my joggers and he turned swiftly."What did you say?" He inquired, halting halfway out of the entrance door and I lied saying, "I sa
"Cameron!" The father yelled and I pulled it of Maya with bug eyes. We both popped our eyes open and looked at each other with fear in our eyes.Instantly, I stood up from the bed and ushered Maya into the bathroom before rushing back out to spray some airwick in the air. I instantly wore my pants then smelt myself before I wore a flat look and went over to the door. I pulled it open and scratched my hair like someone that was confused about what to do with his life."Cam-" he hesitated when he had seen me leaning by the doorway. "Been calling you for like ages. Where did you keep your ears, man?""Sorry, I was asleep." I tried to soun husky. He shoved me a little out of the door way and got into my room.He took a quick scan of the room and his gaze fell on me when he was done with whatever he was doing."Why is there so much airwick in here." He waved his hands as if he was fanning dust away from his face and he coughed a little with a puc
