~STEYN~

I hissed lightly and turned on the mute button on my phone. He still had some nerves to message me? I thought, wiping off the smile from my face.

I tossed from one end of the bed to the other, wild memories from the evening still fleeting through my mind.

If I continued to think like this, would I ever get some sleep? I groaned into my palms and muttered a silent, "fu**k you."

I was still engrossed with thoughts of Skye, saying to myself that I would not reply to his Instagram message when I dozed off.

*. *

I woke up the next morning, feeling refreshed and excited and refreshed. I guess it was the prospect of going to school or was it the fact that Ruby was coming over today.

I took a peek at the time on my phone and sighed loudly. Why did it have to be a school day today?

"Uurgh." I groaned loudly into the sheets , gathering my willpower to get up from the bed. It was nothing, I told myself. All there was to move away from the bed and onto the sh

    Taking Ruby's advice, I decided to do a little research. My first call was Skye's Insta's handle. If there was anything to know about him, then it would be here, I thought. Besides, it wasn't like I had any other lead on him. For a brief moment, the thought of googling his name waltz through my wind, but I brushed it aside. Why would his name be on google.I grinned a little, seeing that he had upload a new profile picture. In this one, he looked more professional. His hair was parted on the sides and he had on a tuxedo. He had his back on a railing, leaning so casually on it but looking rugged and handsome.I heaved and proceeded to look at his bio which looked interesting. It read, 'The World's Youngest Self Made Billionaire.'Typical of him. I shook my head, smiling. Self acclaimed billionaire, I thought. But what if he was really? Each and every single one of the Walker siblings definitely did look like they came from money.I zeroed in on his mobile photos which only had twenty

    "For the last time, don't ruffle my hair again!!" I yelled at Alex who had found an unrequited excitement in playing with my hair.At the rate he was going, my agitation was increasing by the seconds. My throat was aching from having to yell constantly at him for the last few ten minutes."Why can't I play with your hair." He pouted looking smug."Why would you play with my hair? Is it a plaything?" I retorted. "Besides, shouldn't you be going home? It's closing time already.""I can say the same thing for you. We go to to the same school, and obviously have the same closing hours, aren't you supposed to be home already?"I stared at him with a smug expression on my face. If anyone had told me I shared trigonometry with this guy, I would have quitted it a long time ago.I turned in exasperation looking for Ruby after unsuccessfully swatting his hands off my hair for the third time that day. "Seriously, Alex, why are you here?" I asked in frustration."I thought you wouldn't ask." He

  • Winning Walker   YES, WHY MILKSHAKES??

    It was chaotic getting out of bed the following morning.Mum didn't come home the previous evening but had left me a note, stating that she wouldn't be coming home and how I should remember to eat dinner and make breakfast for myself in the morning which piqued my curiosity even more. I hoped everything was okay at the Walker's home?Another thing was that Ruby's line wasn't connecting. All my calls were forwarded to voicemail and her social media handles showed she wasn't online.My mind wandered to yesterday's happening. What was Luke and Alex doing behind the bleachers? What was it they weren't ready for anyone to find out about,yet?I heaved, telling myself that it wasn't my business. Which of course it wasn't. But why was the note in my locker? Was it a mistake after all?"Uuuurgh." I thumped my head lightly, when the thoughts wouldn't stop coming.It was Friday and a free day in school today, which meant that I had all the time in the world.I sauntered into the bathroom for my

  • Winning Walker   A FLING?

    The wind bellowed and blew past at high speed. It was more of a whirlwind, gathering papers and cellophanes as it went.While most people scurried in search of a place to shelter I stood with two shopping bags on both hands straining my eyes to see past the angry wind and the sand it left in its wake.My eyes glistened with tears as I thought about the shock and surprise my mother must be going through as the sound of debit alert aroused her phoneHonestly, I didn't intend to go grocery shopping, nor did I intend to use her debit card but as Sky sat on the cushions looking so relaxed with no sign that he was leaving,I had to find a way to get him out of the house.Another that made me uncomfortable was the fact that he couldn't keep his hands to himself. Every now and then, his hands found their way to my thighs, my neck and almost done my cleavages. Resisting him was not easy and when I got tired of swatting his hands off, I yelled, "The groceries won't go shopping themselves!""Huh

  • Winning Walker   I CARE ABOUT YOU.

    "What is wrong with you!! You said you could find your way around." Sky bellowed, shutting the door after me.We had just gotten home after he managed to maneuver his way through the dark and windy road.I got scared thinking a tornado was about to hit and hung onto his hands dearly. Hearing him yell at me like that was not surprising because I foresaw it. I only wondered why he did not do it in the car. Even at that, he wasn't my parent! Did he have any right to yell at me?I clenched my fist and glued my eyes to the floor. Why was he mad though?It's not like I was in the middle of the road. I stood on the pavement because I was confused and didn't know where to go. I stood on the damn pavement and not the main road, why was he acting mad then? I heaved, and looked at him, long and good.He was fuming red and pacing to and fro in the sitting room. His hands on his waist, he looked like my mom, whenever she was trying to make a choice between two opinions.What was he thinking?

  • Winning Walker   A HINT OF THE BEGINNING

    "I think you should get going." I said, trying to keep the exasperation out of my voice.He arched his brow. "I will but not before I kiss you." He brought his head down.Instinctively, I raised up my hands and covered his mouth with my palms. "That's enough Sky." "You're serious?" He asked in disbelief.I took one long glance at him. What did this guy take me for? Did he really think that he could kiss me just as he liked? I shook my head. I was getting agitated by the minute and was trying to contain it."What makes you think you can kiss me as you like?" I turned the door knob and held it open for him."I can't?" He smirked.I heaved heavily. "Give you an inch and you're opting for a mile?" I quirked my brows. He sighed, running his fingers through his hair. "Alright." He grabbed his car keys from the table and raised both hands in the air. "I give up. I still think you should be more careful next time though. And don't think I've forgotten. You still owe me for today."I shru

    "It's a very simple thing to do, if you agree." Sky said, placing his hands on my shoulder and squeezing gently. Then, he bent and whispered in my ears, "Just say you agree to my terms."I bit down on my bottom lips so hard that I tasted blood. It was not as though I didn't expect a perverted request from him. I did, but I didn't think it would be something as intense as this.Thinking of the perfect way to go about this conversation, my mind drifted off to how we got to this point.Hours after speaking on the phone with Kylie and tossing around on my bed, thinking of ways to fly her down, I finally decided on the option that was readily available.I recalled James saying something about Russia when he and Sky dropped off Ruby at school. It was a good place to start. James was. Atleast, he wasn't like his Sky. It's a given that we didn't converse well enough to say I could tell things about him, but from the little moments I've been in his company, he seemed nice.I gritted my teeth t

  • Winning Walker   THE PROPOSAL

    Leaning his back slightly against the wall and using his leg as anchor, he smiled brightly at me. "Won't you say you like me too?""I can't remember telling you that I did." I retorted, diverting my gaze. "You really don't need to. It's everywhere. Even a newly born kid can see that." He replied. "You don't need to be secretive about it.""What do you want, Sky?" I asked"You." Was his curt reply."No. Like I mean. What's your proposal? What would you have me do in exchange for helping me with my friend?" I clarified."Oh, I just told you." He grinned while coming to stand beside me. "There's this thing people do. I think they call it a fling. I'm not really certain though. But it involves two people, agreeing to pleasure and satisfy each other and either one of them is free to call it quits when they want to. It's a no strings attached kind of relationship."I scoffed. "So, why are you telling me this?""You're so naive, aren't you?" He smiled. "I'm telling you this because I want y

  • Winning Walker   TALKING IT THROUGH

    As I walked away, my heart pounded with a mix of anger and confusion. The weight of my confrontation with Skye settled heavy in my chest. I didn’t look back; I couldn’t afford to. The memory of his eyes, cold and piercing, lingered in my mind. How had we ended up here, tangled in this bizarre dance of denial and frustration?The fluorescent lights of the hallway blurred past me as I hurried toward the exit. I needed air, to breathe outside the suffocating atmosphere that felt like it was closing in. Ruby’s situation echoed in my mind, a reminder of the fragility of life and how I was wasting my energy on a boy who thrived on chaos.Outside, the night was cool, the stars barely visible through the urban haze. I found a bench and sat down, letting my thoughts spiral. How could Skye have the audacity to flirt with me while his girlfriend was presumably waiting for him? It was infuriating, and yet... there was something intoxicating about the way he challenged me.“Steyn?” A voice broke t

  • Winning Walker   HURTFUL WORDS

    It wasn't a bad thing to cry, but I didn't want to do it in front of her. She could break down or think that I was pitying her. I would think the same thing if I were her. Ruby was a nice girl that it hurt me so much to even bring myself to ask the type of cancer she had.I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice until I had bumped into Skye who was standing hands akimbo directly in front of me."What the f…..!" I yelled, "Do you just purposely stand in front of someone and hope they bump into you?" I sneered and continued on my way when he flashed a smile at me."No. Just in front of you." He retorted.At his statement, the sadness I felt from earlier dissipated into something intense. Something that made my heart beat faster than normal and caused it to constrict. I was angry. And it was a good thing."What did you say?" I halted. "Correct me if I'm wrong but is that flirting I sense in your tone?"He grinned but it only fueled my anger. He must really think I'm stupid. Of C

  • Winning Walker   MORE THAN THAT TO SCARE ME OFF

    "That's my ma." I said, adjusting my skirts and finding a place to sit beside Ruby on the bed. "I know. She told me." Ruby replied. I nodded and swallowed, sensing her discomfort. "Or you're worried she told me something,"I said, "She didn't." She nodded and then asked, "Why did you come?" Without looking me in the eyes. "Errrm, I couldn't reach you?" I said, sounding like I wasn't sure it was enough reason and shrugged, "I wanted to check that you're okay. Nobody was telling me anything when I asked after you." She gulped and said, "thank you." I squeezed her palms to let her know that it was fine like I'd seen in movie scenes, "Why did you shave your hair?" I asked the most pressing question on my mind. She smiled and answered, "I've always been like this." And after a while added, "Can you help me open the last closet on your left?" I got up and strolled over to her closet, opening it as she asked; an auburn wig fell out. Not thinking much about it, I picked it up and was ab

  • Winning Walker   AGAIN

    It was exhilarating to think of how he switched from being this cool and sensible guy to the total opposite in minutes, I thought, barging into my house.I dumped my bag on the cushion and scurried into the kitchen to look for something to drink."Whoosh!" I yelled, thumping loudly on the table. It was difficult thinking straight when you had other things on your mind.Dumping the cup In the sink, I made a u-turn and headed straight to my room. There was no school for me today and I intended to spend the day sleeping.Seeing Kylie again gave me some sort of happiness I thought as I lay wide awake in bed, thinking of the list of things I had to do.The most pressing one, being how I intended to tell my mom about it. Just thinking about it gave me shivers. My imagination ran wild, thinking about the way she would react. Good thing was I didn't plan on telling her about it anytime soon, so I pushed the thought aside.Also, introducing Ruby to her was on that list but for the past few wee

  • Winning Walker   THE LAST EMPEROR

    Promising kylie that I would stop by in the evening to see her the next day, I got in the passenger side of Skye's car and we drove off.After the conversation with Skye and me last night, everything didn't just feel right. If anything, I felt like I had been played all along or was used the right thing to say?I wanted to talk about it but I couldn't think of a way to bring it up without sounding lost.We rode in silence for a long time until Skye said, "home, right?"I nodded, not trusting my voice."Okay." He said again, not taking his eyes off the road."Do you think you can take me to see Kylie tomorrow?" I asked."Sure. Why not?" He looked at me for the first time that day."Nothing." I retorted. "I just wanted to make sure.""I can make time for that." He nodded. "Music?" He asked."Yeah." I smiled."What's your preference?" He asked, smiling at me."Hip hop?" I retorted rhetorically, grinning. "Anything to nod to.""I got you." He smiled, turning on the volume. "Uh, I don't t

  • Winning Walker   A JOKE

    "You know, when I first got pregnant, I was scared and didn't even know what to do." Kylie told me, taking off the waist trainer to reveal a red long mark around her tummy caused by the waist trainer. "I cried my eyes most days and avoided going out because I thought that people would notice my bump.""I doubt." I piped in. "Your tummy is so small, and you don't look pregnant."She nodded, smiling. "I know that, Steyn. Soon, I discovered that I couldn't stay indoors anymore and I had to go to school so I began using the waist trainer." She sighed, looking at me. It wasn't easy at all because I struggled with the urge to puke every second and the not so comfortable condition I was in. But it helped." She looked at me one last time."It's all okay now." I took the waist trainer from her and rubbed her shoulder. "You have me now, so you don't have to worry about anything."Turning, I looked around for Skye, seeking some sort of reaffirmation from him, but it seemed he'd gone farther into

    It was as Skye had said.Kylie stood in front of the Jet with her luggages in front of her. She had packed neatly and was looking smart, not pregnant."Kylie?" I muttered under my breath before taking to my heels.Sighting me from afar off, her lips parted open and then split into a beautiful smile.."Steyn?" She said with raised brows, enveloping me into a warm hug, "it's only been a few months and you're already grown."I smiled. "You can stop teasing me now." I told her, "I've missed you so much!" I hugged her tightly, feeling her shiver next to me and she hugged me back…very tightly so."I know." She replied. "Oh my god!""You're doing fine, right?" I asked.Sighing, she replied, "I'm good. Just still trying to believe that you'll go this length for me. How did you do it?"I smiled. "Let's just say I have my ways." I winked at her.Telling her about Skye and I wasn't something I dreamt about, I couldn't even bring myself to do it because I was scared that she'd see me in another

  • Winning Walker   BRINGING KYLIE HOME

    Swirling around the mirror for the last and checking my outfit to make sure that it was suitable for a ride to the airport, I blew my reflection a kiss.I put on an ash maxi skirt that sat prettily on my waist, below my navel button and a crop top that barely passed my chest region and a black platform heels to complete the outfit.Skye was due to drop by any minute. He had called earlier to inform me that Kylie had landed successfully.Hearing the news had made me squeal and immediately called Kylie after Skye had dropped his call."Were you ever going to tell me that you're in my town?" I said to Kylie."I wanted to surprise you." She'd replied, "But I guess, that's not happening anytime soon anymore.""You bet." I laughed. "There was no way your surprise would have worked out anymore, because I was still going to pick you up."We'd talked and gossiped some more, while I busied myself with getting ready.I smiled and shook my head, when my cell phone rang. It was skye calling. "I'm

  • Winning Walker   AWKWARDNESS

    After my reply, the awkwardness that loomed over the atmosphere was in its full glory. Even Skye, felt it.For the first time since we met each other, he couldn't meet my eyes and had suddenly developed unstable feets."Mr. Skye, not so confident anymore?" I teased, a small smile lingering on my face.He gave a low throaty laugh. "Nothing like that. I just don't know how to react, now that you said yes.""Yeah?" I ran my hands through the fabric of his shirt, my hands lingering too long in his chest. "You don't sound as brave as you always do." I bit down my bottom lips."I guess I wasn't prepared for what to do after you said yes.""You knew I was going to say yes?" I raised my brows."Not really. Let's say I had a feeling." He retorted."While you think of what to do and what not, can we talk about kylie?""Kylie?" It was his turn to raise his brows."Kylie. My friend. The reason why I consented to this thing." I flicked him on his forehead and watched him grunt."I didn't forget.
