“Did I”. He asked.
And Megan nods.
“Yes you did, can you laugh again, you looked so handsome when you did, laugh again Axton, you have a breathtaking smile”. Megan said urging him to.
But Axton tighten his face.
“Tsk, Why can’t you smile again, you were really cute earlier”. Megan said.
*I…laugh*. Axton said inwardly, looking at Megan.
His phone rang and he diverted his gaze from Megan.
“Hello Fallon”.
“Boss, Kent is awake already”. Fallon said over the phone.
“Really, take care of him okay, I’ll be there tomorrow”. Axton said.
“Alright boss”.
Axton ends the call.
“Was that Fallon, what did she say”.
“Kent is awake already”. He answers.
“Really, that’s great then”. Megan said with a smiling face.
Axton nods.
“Ain’t you going to smiles again”. Megan asked.
And Axton looks at her with a blank face.
“You can go now, I want to be alone”.
“Fine…..but am happy, you laughed even if is just for a seconds…. goodnight Axton”. Megan said and leaves.
Axton falls to the bed.
“Did I really laugh, since when did I know how to smile, talk more of laughing, am I really going crazy”. He asked himself.

NEXT DAY***
“How’re you Sophia”. Tornado ask caressing her hand.
“Am fine now, only my hair is ruined, but Jacqueline said she knows a method of growing it back”. She said with a smiling face.
“I can’t believe your smiling after what happened to you”.
“Is my nature Tornado, I can’t help it”.
“Am sorry”.
“Why’re you sorry”.
“Is my fault why Spooky and Braxton did that to you”.
“Is not your fault that Spooky likes you and she treated me badly thinking am trying to steal you from her, is my fault for being weak”.
Tornado looks at her with pity eyes.
“Don’t look at me that way Tornado, I told you I h@ťě it when people look at me that way”.
Tornado smiles.
“Sorry”.
“How’s Kent doing”. She asked.
“Thankfully he woke up last night”.
“Really, that’s good to know then, what about Braxton and Spooky, are they still breathing, am sure Megan must’ve send them to hell”.
“Don’t tell me your concern about them, after what they did to you”.
Sophia takes in her lips.
“Sophi, I think is high time you stop being kind-hearted, you won’t survive here, if you keep portraying such”.
“But your kind to me”.
“That’s because you deserve my kindness, people like Braxton and Spooky aren’t someone you should show your kindness to”.
“You must really h@ťě them”.
“Yes I do, so wh@ťěver they face, shouldn’t be your concern, they’re paying for what they did to you okay”.
Sophia nods.
And both look at each other smiling.
Megan enters the room and when she sees them blushingly looking at one another, she intentionally cleared her throat.
But Tornado and Sophia snapped out of it and looks at her.
“Megan”. Sophia said smiling.
Megan returns the smile.
“See you later Sophi”. Tornado said getting up from the bed.
“Am I did one making you leave”.
“Of course not Megan, I just want you to have some privacy, bye Sophia”. Tornado said.
And Sophia nods smiling.
Megan sits beside her, caressing her face.
“How’s my baby doing”.
“Your baby is fine, so don’t worry”. Sophia said.
“Am sorry Sophia”.
“Why’re you sorry Megan”.
“Am the reason why you ended up here and still I can’t even protect you”.
“Don’t blame yourself Megan, am just an easy prey that’s why Braxton and spooky did that to me”.
Megan looks at her.
“What did you do to them Megan”.
“I just taught them a little lesson, but seeing your chopped hair, is making me wanna punch their faces and clear off their hair with a tractor”
“Where’re they now”. Sophia asked.
“Axton didn’t let what they did to you slide, he asked them to crawl from the beginning of the building to the main gate, they have been on it since last night”.
“Am fine now Megan, making them crawl on their knees, is the worst punishment ever”.
“That’s what they get from messing with my best friend”.
“But I feel so sorry for them”.
“Don’t be best friend, they will have been dead by now, if Axton didn’t stop me, I almost pulled the trigger on them”.
“What!!!, Why”.
“I went Gaga yesterday, when I saw the state you were in, I couldn’t control myself”.
“Am really a bad luck, thanks to me, you almost became a murderer”.
“Is fine, atleast Axton stopped me”.
“And speaking of the boss, he told me I can’t stop being a maid here”.
“Really”.
And Sophia nods.
“And he also said I should come to him anytime I needed something, is Asif I was with my brother last night”.
“You don’t even know anything about yourself, so how come you know you have a brother”.
“Just my instinct talking”. Sophia said.
“Your crazy Sophia”.
Sophia giggles.
“So any process on seducing the Boss”.
Megan smiles.
“I think is slowly working”.
“Really”.
“Yes, Last night, he laughed at what I said, he didn’t just smile but laugh”.
“Wow, that’s a process Megan, soon you’ll succeed completely”.
“I really want to see him smiling all the time, after what happened to him, he deserves to be happy”.
“What happened to him”.
“Just some random things”. Megan said.
Even if Sophia was her best friend, she didn’t want to tell her about Axton’s fear.
She already made a promise to Kent not to say a word about Axton’s fears, to anyone, not even her best friend Sophia.
Sophia looks at her.
“Alright”.
Megan looks at Sophia and clears her throat.
“I see you and Tornado are getting close”.
“Don’t get it twisted Megan, Tornado and I are just friends”.
“But that wasn’t what I saw ealier, it was a spark”.
“Are we electricity now”.
“Not that kind of spark, I meant to say love sparkling”. Megan said.
“Is not like that Megan”.
“Sophia and Tornado = Sonado”. Megan said laughing.
“Stop matchmaking us Megan”.
“Sonado, sounds mesmerizing, when is the wedding”.
“Megan!!”
Megan laughs.

*****
“Is Sophia okay now”. Gatsby asked Tornado.
He, Ace and Tornado were together as always.
“Yes she is, and I really like the punishment the Boss gave to them”.
“So when are you going to tell Sophia that you like her”. Gatsby asked smiling.
“And who told you I do”.
“You don’t need to tell me before I know Tornado, you were so filled with anger after hearing what Braxton and Spooky did to Sophia, you even went to confront Spooky, the Tornado I know, will never do such, so will you still denied the fact that you don’t have feelings for her”.
“No I don’t”.
“Then should I make her mine, I mean she’s beautiful and have the innocent charismatic look, am sure she’s still a virgin, I wonder how is going to feel, f_cking a virgin”.
“Hey!!!, Do you wanna die!!!!”. Tornado yells at him.
Ace and Gatsby immediately laugh.
“Are you still going deny it, I was joking, but you took it seriously, you must really love her”.
“I guess he does”. Ace said.
And he and Gatsby laugh.
“You both are crazy”. He said leaving.
“Your a troublemaker, hope you know that”. Ace said.
Gatsby giggles.
“That’s what I live for”.
“Idiot boy”. Ace muttered smiling.
Freya approach them.
“Gatsby, let’s visit kent in the hospital, everyone is doing so”. She said smiling.
“Emm, I can’t go with you Freya”.
Freya frowns.
“Why not Gatsby”.
“The boss ask me to take care of something, so I can’t go with you, but you can go with Ace, his going to see him in the hospital, since both are close with each other”.
Freya looks at him.
“I’ll just pass if am going to go with him…..I’ll just wait for Kent to come back to the mob and visit him in his room”.
Ace looks at her.
“Are you being serious right now, so you won’t go with Ace, is Ace Freya”. Gatsby said looking surprised.
“I know, but I don’t want to go with him….I’ll be going now Gatsby, Brandy has a lot of stories to tell me”.
Gatsby nods looking at her with surprised.
Freya leaves without saying a word to Ace.
“Did my sister just turn down the offer to go with you”.
“You saw it yourself right, I’ll be going now Gatsby”. He said and leaves.
“Freya turn down the offer to go with Ace”. He muttered.
And a smile appears on his face afterwards.
