Joanna wrap her arms around his neck while Francis deepened the kiss, the two were too busy with each other that they didn’t notice the opening of the door.
“Only foreplay is allowed” Granny Grace said suddenly which pulled them away from each other.
“Granny!” They both yelled which got her smiling mischievously.
“I know but I just had to remind you two, remember your parents are downstairs” She said blowing them a kiss before leaving the room.
“Why does she choose the wrong time to show up?” Joanna ask no one in particular.
“Don’t worry, we will surely get to have our time where some thing more than foreplay will occur” he said giving her a wink.
“Pervert” she muttered before getting off the bed and going to the balcony.
Francis joined her and while they stared at the stars, a $h00ting star went by.
“It’s a $h00ting star! Make a wish Francis” Joanna said as she close her eyes and made a silent wish.
She opened it only to see Francis starring at her.
“You didn’t make a wish” She accused.
“I don’t believe in $h00ting stars” He replied
“And besides why waste my time on a fallen star when I have the most brightest star with me” he added earning a smile from her.
“And who is this brightest star of yours?” She asked even as he wrap his arm around her waist.
“You already know that” he answered slowly.
“Reading my thoughts again” she said enjoying being in his arms.
“Yes. Reading your thoughts is the only way for me to know you are safe, so promise me that wh@ťěver happen you will always speak to me with your….” He pause finishing the last part by lightly touching her head.
“I promise, now kiss me!” She demanded which he readily fulfil.

“So why did you ask us to meet during the weekend?” Joanna asked.
“While going through my babe phone, I saw this” Mirabel said showing them some thing on Nicholas phone.
“It’s Nicholas birthday today?” Alice asked while Mirabel nodded.
“And I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t held onto his phone this morning and so I need your help in planning a birthday surprise for him” Mirabel said.
“You can count on our help” Joanna assured while Alice nodded in reply.
“So this is what I plan on doing during the …..” Mirabel stopped when she got a message on Nicholas phone.
“What does this Ɓîtçh wants again?” Mirabel said after reading the message and immediately Joanna and Alice join her on the sofa.
“*I love you Nicholas and I don’t think I will ever stop loving you *” Alice read out.
“*If you don’t come to me now then I will be forced to black mail you again which is some thing I don’t want to do*” Joanna read.
“*Talk to me! You’ve been reading and ignoring me. Fine then if I do some thing drastic now you will certainly come to look for me right*” Mirabel read the last part which made her see red.
“This girl obviously need some beaten!” Mirabel said as she got out of the seat.
“I wouldn’t mind helping you to beat some sense into her” Alice said suddenly.
“Why don’t you ask her where she is?” Joanna added which Mirabel did and a while later they all left the empty class they were in going in search of Jessica.
They got to the school hall and found her there.
“What’s this? I message Nicholas not you and this two idiots” Jessica said referring to Alice and Joanna as the idiot.
“That’s because am with his phone you dummy!” Mirabel said showing her Nicholas phone.
“I thought you are his girlfriend, I didn’t know you are also his messenger who answer his messages” Jessica said scoffing at her.
“You are right am his girlfriend and also his messenger as you’ve put it but am also his protector who is prepared to protect him from Ɓîtçhes like you” Mirabel said launching at Jessica even as she pulled her hair.
“You are the idiot you slut!” Alice said also moving towards her to pull her hair while Joanna keep watch for any intruder.
They left the hall feeling triumphant after beating the hell out of Jessica who promised to stay away from them for good.
“So let’s continue our discussion on Nicholas birthday surprise party” Alice said as the three of them burst into laughter.

“Where did you go? Have been looking for you” Francis said after spotting Joanna.
“Really?” Joanna asked wrapping her arms around his waist while pulling him close to her which startled Francis.
“Yes, I was….what are you doing?” Francis asked as he felt her hand on his @zz
“Showing you that I want you, let’s go. Let’s leave this darn party and go back home to make love ” Joanna said biting her lips and that got Francis hesitating a bit.
“Okay then, let me say goodbye to everyone” he said as he went to bid the rest goodbye and soon Francis was driving them both to the apartment he shared.
As soon as they got into the house, Joanna pulled Francis towards her and began to kiss him.
Her hands drifted off to his trouser belt and that got Francis pushing her away from him gently.
“Only foreplay” he told her softly.
“What foreplay? I want to have you right here and now” she said as she kiss him on the neck this time around and that got him pushing her away from him.
“What’s wrong Francis?” She asked starring up at him.
“Francis? You only call me your love when we are alone” Francis said and that got her looking away from him.
“But Francis is your name and I prefer using it” she said which got him starring at her intently.
“What?” She asked when she could no longer take the scrutiny.
“I can’t read your thoughts, you aren’t Joanna right?” Francis asked which wipe off the smile on her lips.
“How did you figure that out?” She said glaring at Francis who immediately pinned her to wall, looking down at her with rage.
“Who the hell are you and where is Joanna ?” Francis yelled at her……
