“Seeing Mr Rowan cry like thar breaks my heart.”, Mrs Janice said as they watched from a distance.
Though they haven’t been hearing their conversations, they just wondered where he was since hw didn’t return back to where they were.
“I wish I was the one comforting him, I don’t know why he is crying but I want him to know that I care about him.”, Ruby said as she burst into tears.
“It’s Okay, you don’t have to cry. Heaven is already there, going to meet him can make him uncomfortable.”, Leon said as he comforted her.

When it was time for everyone to eat, everyone gathered at the table without saying a word and making attempt to eat.
“What is wrong?”, Harry asked but still no response.
“Mr Rowan you should really try these, it is good.”, Leon said moving the food to him.
“If you feel uncomfortable around us, you can let us know.”, Mrs janice said and Rowan furrowed his brows.
“Where is this coming from?”, He asked.
“You should really eat, so that you won’t be so hungry.”, Leon said serving the food for him.
“What’s this? A boy love? Why are you only serving Rowan? What about me?”, Harry asked.
“Don’t forget that you cane uninvited and besides, Mr Rowan is our boss for now so we have to take care of him right Mr Rowan?”, Ruby asked and he reluntanly nodded his head.
“You should eat carefully.”, Harry said as he cleaned heaven’s mouth with his hand as they started eating.
Everyone gasped and was confused including heaven.
“Why Is he still doing this when he knows that I am not Nevaeh?”, She wondered.
“You don’t have to clean it for her, I can do it myself.”, Rowan said and kissed her and everyone gasped again.
“Mrs Janice I want to be cool like Mr Rowan, he’s now my role model.”, Leon whispered proudly.
“Get a girlfriend first, you are not yet able to win over ruby and you want to be cool.”, She said and he frowned.
“You talk as if you have a boyfriend too, we are the same.”, He said.
“You are not in the same, Mrs Janice now is on another level.”, Mr James replied and Leon gasped.
“What a show off! I only helped her to clean her mouth.”, Harry said.
“Mr Harry you didn’t have to do that, you know why you shouldn’t be doing stuffs like that right?”, Heaven said trying to control her anger.
“I’m sorry, I lost my mind for a while.”, He replied.
Ruby just sighed and continued with her food.
***Girl’s room***
“Does Mr Harry know that you are not Nevaeh?”, Janice asked and heaven nodded.
“I don’t understand why he did that too, I talked about it with him in the car. Maybe he just wanted to make Rowan mad.”
“Heaven why don’t you tell the truth to Rowan? You can’t continue to lie to him forever, it is either you tell him the truth or he would find out himself.”, Janice said.
“I keep feeling guilty, I shouldn’t have taken Nevaeh’s place in his life. He is only treating me nicely because he thinks I am her but my weak heart won’t acknowledge that, I don’t know why a part of me still want him to love me as heaven not Nevaeh.”, She said and burst into tears.
“Nevaeh asked me to break up with him for her and instead I fell in love with him, i can’t even face Nevaeh right now. I just ruined her plan and I can’t tell Rowan just yet, I still want to spend some time with him before I finally leave his life.”, She said.
“Just do wh@ťěver your heart says.”, Mrs janice advised.
#Nextmorning!
“Let’s have a volleyball competition.”, Mr James suggested and everyone jumped happily.
“So there are two teams; Mr Harry, ruby and Mrs Janice on a team and then Mr Rowan, Leon and heaven on another team, I will be the referee.”, He said and blew his whistle that everyone had to close their ears.
“I want to be on Mr Rowan’s team.”, Ruby said sadly.
“It can’t be changed, I decide who should be on a team, I am a strict referee.”, Mr James said blowing the whistle again.
“Where is Leon? Why isn’t he here?”, Rowan asked looking around.
“I tried to wake him up but he wouldn’t wake up, I guess he still wants to sleep.”, Mr James replied.
“Since one of the team is missing, we will take it as they backed out because they are scared, so automatically we won.”, Harry said.
“No give me five minutes to bring him here, if we don’t show up then take it as we lost to you.”, Rowan said and quickly ran to his room.
“Hey wake up!!!”, Rowan said and kicked him hard but he only moved.
“I still want more sleep please.”, He said going back to sleep.
“We are going to lose the competition if you don’t come out.”, He said.
“It is just a game anyway, my sleep is more important Mr Rowan.”, He said grumpily as he closes his eyes to sleep again.
“This is very important to me, I have to show Nevaeh that I am the best choice.”, He said.
“Why should I help you? Ruby doesn’t like me as much as she likes you, that is a reason I should not play with you.”, Leon said.
“I will allow you to eat anything you want from my kitchen and you can sleep on my bed.”, Rowan said and Leon jerked off from the bed.
His sleep totally disappeared, Rowan really knows his weak point.
“Are you serious Mr Rowan? Will you really allow me to eat anything from your kitchen and sleep on your bed?”, He asked and he nodded.
“Thank you.”, He said hugging him tight and Rowan pushed him away.
“Your breath stinks, move away.”
“Really?”, Leon asked as he opened his mouth near Rowan and then Rowan just covered his nose.
“I will only fulfil that promise if we win, I don’t care about how you do it and even if we have to cheat to win then we must do it.”, Rowan instructed.
“Don’t worry Mr Rowan, I will make sure we win. I have to win for Ruby to notice me too.”, He said
“I can make ruby notice you but I will tell you after we win.”, Rowan said.
“I have to quickly wash up “, He said but Rowan drew him back.
“There is no time that, we will be disqualified if we don’t run out now.”, He said and they left.
“Leon let’s exchange team.”, Ruby said and Leon just smiled.
“There is no need for that, I am sure Mr Rowan doesn’t want me to leave this team Right Mr Rowan?”, Leon asked.
“Yes, I would love him to stay here.”, Rowan replied tapping his shoulder.
“Mr James you have to make us the winner no matter what.”, Leon whispered to him.
“No I am a fair referee, I don’t accept cheating.”, He said unwilling to comply.
“Don’t you like Mrs Janice? I won’t give you my permission to date her.”, He thr_@tened.
“Who are you to decide who she can date?”, James replied.
“I am like her nephew, if you help my team I will surely convince Mrs Janice to date you, I will make sure you two end up together.”, Leon said and James thought for a while.
“Is that right?”, James asked considering what Leon said for a moment.
“Yes I promise.”, Leon said.
“No I should be a fair referee, I don’t care.”, James said and Leon clenched his fist.
“You don’t want to help your boss?”, Rowan said coming into their conversation.
“No Mr Rowan, I ….”
“So you can’t help your boss? Am i just an insignificant someone in your life? You ….!”
“Ok alright! I will help you win.”, Mr James said giving in and Leon and Rowan smiled at each other victoriously.
“Good job Mr Rowan.”, Leon said as he and Rowan did high five.
“Of course, I can to use the power I have to get what I want.”, Rowan said and Leon agreed.
“What is wrong with them? What are they up to?”, Heaven wondered.
“What were you discussing with Mr James? Did you two thr_@ten him?”, Harry asked suspecting the confident smile on their face.
“Did we thr_@ten you Mr James?”, Leon asked.
“No …. They were just asking about the rules of the game.”, He replied.
“Mr Rowan you have nothing to worry about, we have won.”, Leon said and Rowan smiled.
“I didn’t make mistake choosing you, you are the best.”, He said.
“Mr Harry let’s get started, I can’t wait to see your face after loosing.”, Leon said and Rowan laughed.
“Why are they so confident that they would win? The combination of Leon and Mr Rowan is just not just good.”, Mrs Janice said.
“You are right! They have never gotten along and now they are smiling at each other and even giving each other high five, I never knew mr Rowan was this playful.”, Ruby said.
“Mr James don’t let anyone thr_@ten you, let this be a fair game.”, Rowan said ironically.
“Yes it should be fair.”, Leon agreed and they laughed again.
“Should I be worried about these two? I don’t understand.”, Heaven wondered trying to understand.
“Let the game begin now.”, Mr James said and blew the whistle.
