Please don’t leave me, he mumbled. She gasped and made to pull away but he held her tightly and even pulled her to the bed.
Is he crazy or ill?
Miles are you okay, she asked, but he didn’t reply her instead he closed his eyes.
Is he asleep, she mumbled and touched his forehead again.
f-__-k!! the fever increased and she can’t leave it like this.
But she couldn’t leave because he held her tightly.
She turned around and saw a bottle of water beside the bed. She took the water and faced him again. Then she tried removing his hand from his.
But suddenly he wrapped his arms around her waist and even rested his head on her laps.
WTF!!!!
Is he really asleep or is he pretending!!
She pulled out her hanky and poured the water on it, then she placed it on his forehead.
This should help, she mumbled watching him closely
Is he really asleep? She could hear him breathing softly so he could probably be asleep right?
But what’s happening to him?, Why was he having nightmares? He even held her, did he really do that consciously?
She touched his hair and gasped. It was very soft and thick.
His lashes were also very long and cute. She smiled, how can one be this handsome even while asleep, she thought
But anyway, I can’t believe the almighty Miles is sleeping on my lap. He looks like a baby right now, she chuckled.
She yawned and sighed, she was feeling really tired. It won’t hurt to rest small, will it?
She rested her head on him and closed her eyes.

That Ɓîtçh, Kimberly mumbled. She felt like exploding, what she planned didn’t work out at all.
She didn’t take the drink now all my plans are ruined, she said bitterly.
Maybe she knew something, Kim can you just forget her, I told you she’s not worth it, Lily said. Kimberly glared at her angrily.
I will decide who’s worth it and who’s not, she snapped
I am sorry, please calm down. people are already looking, Lily told her.
Kimberly scoffed and sat down, Lily sat down beside her.
But what did you plan to do with her, she asked.
I wanted to drug her and throw her inside the sea but that Ɓîtçh keeps getting on my nerves, she escaped death this time, Kimberly snapped.
Calm down, Lily whispered.
Kimberly picked her phone and dialed a number immediately.
Find her, you must look for her everywhere and when you see her just throw her inside the water, She ordered.
Kim, Lily called.
I will triple you pay if you do that, Kimberly added.
Kim please, Lily said
Kimberly ended the call and glared at her.
If you don’t want to be around me again, get lost, she snapped.
But Kim it isn’t……
Shut up, I don’t want to listen to you, Kimberly snapped. Lily sighed.
I just didn’t want you to her into trouble, she said
Kimberly was about to reply her when she saw someone.
Miles’s mum.
She smiled and stood up, then she walked to her still smiling.
Oh Kimberly, Valentina called when she saw her. Kimberly hugged her immediately.
I missed you mum, I wanted to come over but I didn’t know if Miles would be upset, Kimberly said.
What’s this crazy child talking about?, Why would you care about what Miles thinks, I told you to always drop by but you never did that, Valentina said.
I am sorry mum, I will start coming every day, Kimberly said.
No need for that, you can come once in a while, Valentina smiled.
I am your daughter, of course I should visit my mum everyday, Kimberly said. Valentina laughed softly. Kimberly pulled away and faced her.
Mum are you laughing at me, she pouted.
You are so cute do you know that?, anyway you are right, Valentina chuckled.
Mum are you just coming now?, Kimberly asked.
Why would I come now?, it’s my son’s party, Valentina replied.
Well I haven’t seen you at all, Kimberly pouted.
I have been busy darling, Valentina chuckled.
And Miles too, where is he? I haven’t seen him for days, she said sadly. Valentina smiled.
He’s probably in his private cabin, she said.
Private cabin? What cabin, Kimberly asked.
Mum are you still busy? Can you please take me to him, I want to ask him something, Kimberly said.
Oh that…. Fine let’s go, Valentina said. Kimberly smiled and held her arm.
They both left the party arena and made their way to Miles’s cabin.
Kimberly grinned as they got to the door
Sweetie are you in there, Valentina said tapping the door softly. Kimberly noticed the door was slightly open and peeped but she didn’t see him.
Is he asleep, she mumbled.
Sleep??, Valentina asked and pushed to the door open.
Kimberly almost passed out when she saw what was happening.
Miles was lying on Dami’s laps sleeping and Dami was resting on him also asleep. Her B-__-bs were even on his face.
Kimberly gasped and almost screamed but Valentina pulled her back.
Don’t wake them up, She said. Kimberly looked at her in shock
But mum she’s…..
They are in a relationship aren’t they? Miles won’t like it if we barge in here and disturb them, Valentina said.
It’s all a lie, Chelsea was lying mum she’s lying, Miles can’t even look at her, she’s lying!! Don’t believe her she’s…..
Valentina pulled her out of the room before she could finish. She closed the door and faced Kimberly.
That’s my order, you can regard it as a favor, please let him be, don’t disturb them, Valentina said.
Why, Kimberly asked. Valentina stared at her surprised
Are you asking me that, she asked
Yes I want to know why you want me to leave them alone, Kimberly said. Valentina sighed and held her hand
I know how you feel but my son is important to me, I don’t want to disturb him, she said smiling at her. Kimberly clenched her fist.
Let’s go back first, Valentina said and started pulling her.
Can you wait, I need to use the restroom, she said and flashed a fake smile.
Okay bye, someone is waiting for me so I won’t be waiting for you, Valentina said.
Kimberly left for the restroom while Valentina ordered two guards to guard the door and not let anyone in.
Kimberly screamed and started punching the wall immediately she got to the restroom. Her hand was wounded and was bleeding badly but she didn’t care at all.
She suddenly stopped and looked at the mirror. Her eyes were pure red.
I will so ki|| you Chelsea!!!, Your death is certain!!!, She screamed.
••
Happy wore the clothes Ace brought for her and stared at the mirror. The gown was…..
d@mn it’s too revealing, did he buy it himself?
Aren’t you done, Ace shouted. They both entered one of the cabins in the ship and she entered the bathroom to wear the gown.
Ace was in the room waiting for her.
She brought out her lipstick and applied it, then she held the door knob but she didn’t open it.
She was too nervous to open the door, and the cause of the nervousness was unknown, Maybe because her crush is waiting outside or she felt the gown was too revealing.
She sighed and finally opened the door, Ace was standing in front of the door also holding the door knob.
What are you ……..
I was afraid something happened to you, it’s been twenty minutes already, he quickly said
She scoffed and walked past him.
The gown looks good on you, he said. She scoffed and faced him
Is something wrong, he asked
Did you buy it yourself, she asked.
Huh!!!, Oh that yeah kind of, he replied. She scoffed
What was I expecting?, but do you really carry women’s clothing everywhere?, She asked
It’s kind of complicated, but it’s not what you think, he replied. She rolled her eyes and started leaving
Hold on, he said. She stopped walking but she didn’t face him.
Are you going back to the party, he asked.
Not like I can go anywhere else, we are on top water, she replied
We can, like the deck, Ace said
Why would you take me there, we aren’t even close, Happy asked
Maybe I am trying to apologize for ruining your dress, he replied. She twitched her lips
After you milady, he bowed.
Is he serious
They both went to the deck of the ship, it was f-__-king cold there
Happy hugged herself Immediately
He removed his jacket and gave it to her
You don’t have to I…..
I don’t want you to die on me, nothing else,he said. She hesitated before wearing the jacket.
She felt really nervous and didn’t know what to say to him, infact she couldn’t even look at him.
Are you still cold, he asked.
Huh cold? No I am not, why do you ask, she asked
You are quiet, or should we go back, he asked
Noooo noo, don’t I am just looking around. it’s beautiful, she replied. He looked at her and smiled
Then are you nervous, he asked.
Huh! Why would I be, she scoffed. He chuckled
When are we going back, we’ve gone too far already, Happy asked, she was trying to change the topic.
After midnight probably. So before morning, we must have reached the port, he replied. She sighed.
I kinda wanna go home, he said. She stared at him
Why don’t you like it here, she asked
He was about to reply when his phone rang, he stared at the caller and groaned
Will be back in two minutes, he said and moved away to pick the call.
She stared at him and smiled
It might explode soon, she muttered holding her chest

Ryan made his way to the kitchen, he was feeling really hungry and thirsty.
But as he opened the door, he saw someone standing close to the fridge.
He screamed unconsciously, Chelsea flinched immediately
He turned on the lights immediately
What the hell!! it’s you?, he yelled holding his chest.
Are you trying to wake the everyone in the neighborhood, why did you scream, she snapped
You didn’t turn on the light and you are wearing a white gown with your hair down, you looked like a ghost, he whispered
Ghost?, She scoffed
And no one ever stays awake up till this time, he said
I couldn’t sleep so I came here to drink water, she snapped
Fine sorry if I was rude, I was just scared, he said touching his chest. She scoffed and opened the fridge.
You say you can’t sleep, are you in for instant noddles, he asked
Noddles by this time?, She asked
Of course midnight food is the best, he replied
Maybe I will try some, she said. He smiled and took two noodles from the cupboard
Is it really fine, I mean who’s going to replace them, Chelsea asked.
I do work part-time too and of course you Dami, he replied
What do you mean by me, I have to work part time??, She scoffed
Dami is living your life, shouldn’t you live hers too, I know I was against her always working but she was after her dream, she wants be a makeup artist and has been saving since, he said. She bit her lips.
I was against the fact that she was always working without resting and that is why she almost died in the front place, if not for her job, she wouldn’t have come home late and might have not even met Monica, he said
What happened between her and Monica, Chelsea asked
Her brother is a pervert, he enjoys harassing girls and never gets punished because his dad is a mayor. When Dami was working, he tried getting her number, but she refused. After that day he started harassing her and one day he touched her butts.
She got upset and knocked out two of his tooth, broke his nose and shifted his jaw, he said
Chelsea burst out laughing immediately. Ryan scoffed.
She’s really crazy, I love her, she said still laughing.
She’s always getting into trouble, you should be worried about the trouble she will cause in your name, he said
I don’t care about that, she rocks, Chelsea grinned. Ryan shook his head
So the sister got angry and started attacking Dami, she’s crazy, Chelsea scoffed
Maybe I should try teaching her a lesson, Chelsea said, Ryan glared at her
You are kidding right, he scoffed.
I am really serious, now I want to see her pee on herself again, Chelsea grinned wickedly. Ryan scoffed
He finished cooking the noddles and dished it out.
Chelsea followed him to his room and they started eating the noddles.
You were reading, she asked looking at his study table
Yeah I have a test tomorrow, he replied
College kid, she mumbled. He rolled his eyes.
She stood up and touched the picture on the wall.
That’s my mum, she passed away after she had me, Ryan said. She sighed sadly
You don’t have to feel sad for me, aren’t you going to finish your food, he asked.
I am already done, she replied. He looked at her plate and gasped
Wtf!!!!!
You are slowly turning to a glutton, he scoffed.
Who cares? I am not an idol again, I am Dami and I will eat as I want and moreover the noddles was tasty, she said. He smiled.
You can focus on your books, I will look at the pictures, she told him
He finished eating and cleared the plates, but she was already asleep when he came back. He smiled and covered her with a blanket.
I thought she said she couldn’t fall asleep, he mumbled staring at her.
