DORATHY’S PLACE**
Grandma Lola entered Dorathy’s room and saw her on the bed, smiling while looking in her phone.
” Child” She said and Dorathy looked up.
” Grandma”.
” Who’s that guy that drop you off yesterday?”.
” He is the same guy that bought a phone for me” Dorathy replied.
” Your boyfriend right?”.
Dorathy nodded nervously.
Grandma Lola sat on the bed and took her hand.
” I’m not against it, I like him, I don’t mind his skin, I’m not a racist, the important thing is that you are happy, he seems to be a good guy, finally I will be seeing my great grandchildren”.
” Grandma, we ain’t even married yet” Dorathy said, pouting.
***
Brandon parked his bike and got down from it, he rushed inside the store.
He started asking of Brittany till she was informed of his presence.
“Brandon” Brittany said, cheerfully.
“Did something happen to Cassie? she is not picking my calls” He asked.
Brittany noticed the worried look on his face.
“She has been crying since she came back from your house ” She replied and Brandon gasped.
” My house?, but I didn’t see in my house on Friday” He said.
“Is she in her office?”.
“No”.
“Can you give me her home address” He said.
“Madina street number 47” She said.
“Thank you so much” He said and rushed out.
Brittany sighed sadly.
“I love you but I can’t have you when my friend is madly in love with you, I hope you sort it out with her, I will find my own prince charming one day” Brittany said and turned.
A gasp escape her lips as bumped into a hard chest.
She looked up and her world froze, seeing a demigod.
The handsome guy in her front was looking at her too.
“I’m sorry” Lex said.
But Brittany is lost staring at him.
“Miss” Lex called again.
“Huh!, I’m sorry” She quickly said as she got herself back.
“I should be the one saying sorry, I’m sorry” He said and started walking out.
Brittany touched her beating chest and started smiling like a fool.
“He is so handsome, could he be my prince charming?”.
CASSIE’S HOUSE**
Brandon got at the address Brittany gave to him, he parked his bike outside before entering the compound.
He didn’t have time to start admiring the house.
He pressed the door bell.
” Please open up” He said and pressed the door bell again.
The door opened up and Cassie face came up.
Brandon constance changed the moment he saw her face.
It was pale and her eyes were red, seems she has been crying for a long time.
Cassie was surprised to see him too but she didn’t show her surprise.
They both looked at each other.
“Cassie..”.
“What are you doing here?” She asked.
Brandon could noticed the coldness in her voice.
“What is wrong?” He asked.
“Nothing is wrong, I’m fine, you can leave now” She said and made to close door but he pushed her in and entered.
“What are you doing? leave” She yelled.
“I will leave when I know what is wrong with you, you are not picking my calls, Brittany told me you have been crying since you came back from my house, I didn’t if you went to my house on Friday, did I do something wrong to you?” He asked.
” Stay away from me?” She said and turned but he grabbed her hand.
” Let go of me” She yelled.
” Why should I stay away?” He asked, still holding her hand.
” I don’t have an answer to give you, now leave my hand or I will scream”.
” Go ahead, scream, I will leave when we sort this out”.
” There’s nothing to sort out, go and be with your girlfriend, leave me alone” She said and started crying again.
It really pains her, she planned staying away from him but seeing him here is bringing much pain to her heart.
” Girlfriend? who told you that?” He asked confusingly.
” The one you told her, you love her too on Friday, leave me alone Brandon” She screamed.
Brandon stood for a while, calculating who he said that to on Friday.
Suddenly he started laughing, making Cassie more angry.
” You think it’s funny right?”.
” Are you kidding me, Angel was one the one I said that to, I was about to take her to school” He said, still laughing lightly.
Cassie started calming down slowly.
” Don’t tell me you you started avoiding me cos of what you heard?”.
Cassie looked away in embarrassment.
” I thought, you said it to another girl”.
“You should have waited to confirm, Gosh women, I can sense jealousy” He chuckled.
“I’m sorry, I…”.
” Don’t say another thing, I really missed you, I couldn’t sleep well without knowing how you were doing, I was d@mn worried” He said seriously.
Cassie heart thumped and she felt a new wave of joy flashing into her system.
” Really?, you missed me, I think I can’t survive it again if I avoid you” She said and he laughed.
” You have been crying over nothing, we are good now right?”.
Cassie nodded and hug him.
“Are you against me having a girlfriend?” He asked.
” I’m afraid, you will start avoiding me once you have a girlfriend” She replied but within her she knew that wasn’t what she wanted to say.
” That won’t happen, you are the first female friend I will be having and I plan to tell you something once I’m over mourning my mum” He said.
” Let’s visit her grave tomorrow” She said, snuggling closer to him.
” Okay, don’t cry again” He smiled.
BLAKE’S PLACE**
“Boom” Henry and Hilliary said immediately Blake opened the door.
“Idiots” Blake said as they entered.
“Buddy” They hug him.
“Lex refused coming right?”.
Blake nodded.
“I want to tell you something, Lex is in love with Summer”.
“What!!” Henry said.
“Are you that daft twin bro, I thought you knew but you wanted to put a blind eye to it, do you think the concern he was having for her was for nothing, I suspected that but decided to keep quiet” Henry said.
“He asked Summer out but she politely turn him down”.
“Is that the reason he is avoiding us, but how is that my fault, her heart chose to love me, why can’t he understand that…”.
“Boyfriend Henry” Mrs Baldwin voice stop him from completing his sentence.
” Girlfriend” Henry said and went to her, he hugged her before pecking her on the cheek.
” I missed you so much” Mrs Baldwin said flirting with her brows.
” I missed you too, kiss me” Mrs Baldwin said.
“My heart” Blake said and fainted.
They started laughing.
**
“Stay away from my mum” Blake said as they eats.
“You think I was going to kiss her?” Henry asked.
“Wh@ťěver, I can’t believe mum was teasing me”.
” Your mum is crazy” Hilliary said.
” Dude, are you into Hailey?”.
” No!!” He quickly replied.
” Why the quick reply, Dem wan beat you?” Henry asked.
” You want to beat me?” Blake asked.
Henry and Hilliary laughed at him.
” You two are getting so close, she took you away when a girl tried kissing you yesterday”.
” Isn’t that jealousy?”.
” I don’t know what you two are saying” Blake said.
” Henry, I’m sad, you are dating someone else” Mrs Baldwin said joining them.
” You’re my first choice”.
” Summer must hear this” Blake said.
” Am I a tree now?” Hilliary asked.
” Sorry, I think you will be my next boyfriend now” Mrs Baldwin said to Hillary.
” Taken already” Hilliary said together with Blake.
” I’m sad” She pouted, making them to laugh.
AT THE BRIDGE**
Henry and Hilliary left Blake’s place after spending an amazing time with him and his funny mother.
“That woman is full of energy” Henry said.
“Her stature will make you mistake her for Blake’s sister”.
“Just like I did some months ago” Henry said.
“I wish I was there” Hilliary chuckled and halted as they arrived at the bridge.
“You should go home, I will find my way home” Henry said.
“Have a nice time with your girlfriend” Hilliary said.
Henry got down and left.
Summer turned immediately she heard footsteps approaching her.
She smiled and started walking to him but suddenly two guys from nowhere came and grabbed her.
“Who are you?” She shouted.
Henry started running her but a flying stone hit his head so hard that he missed his steps and fell flat on his face.
He tried standing up but a rod was hit on his head.
He started loosing consciousness.
Summer started struggling with the guys who held her.
“Armor” She cried.
