THE COMPETITION – Episode 52 & 53

“I just wanna talk,” Storm said as he strode over to them

“Judson,” Sophia called shocked to see him here

he shook her hand but his gaze was fixed on Scarlett who stood, but Storm rushed over and grabbed her hand

“I just wanna talk,” he said softly, his voice as gently as ever.

“I don’t wanna talk…”

“just hear me out, it will only take a minute of your time,” he added shifting closer

Her eyes remained open as she stared up at his face unblinking, when she blinked it felt like there was a layer of sand coating them. for a moment she was taken back to the good old day. When they used to discuss all the different things they could do, all the places they could go, and how they would end up together till old age.

She lowered her head and rubbed at her chest, hoping it will send the aching feeling away but it didn’t, she should be happy, she had always wanted him to be alive for her, to hold him but now all she could feel was anger. The slow climb of her internal temperature skyrocketed and the only person she was pissed at was him.

“I just wanna talk things out, maybe not here,” he said looking around her apartment “Maybe we can go over to my place or something, a hotel or restaurant or anywhere,” he said, gazing into her eyes and wishing she would accept.

“Get out,” she said pointing at the door

“I just….”

“I’m calling 911,” she said walking over to the home phone

“Maybe you should leave for now and come back later,” Sophia said gently as she approached them.

Storm roughed his hair, watching as Scarlett speak on the phone

Tiffany and Iris were just by the doorway watching

“Lemme know when she’s in a good mood,” he said and Sophia nodded

“I will,”

He glared at Scarlett one last time then exit the room, it was so hard but he had to.

Scarlett walked into her room with Sophia following behind, falling on the small size bed, she gazed up at the ceiling.

Sophia sat on the bed next to her.

“I have to tell you something crazy,” Scarlett said still staring into space

Sophia’s shoulder slumped in relief.

“Holy$h|t finally, I have been dying here pretending like I didn’t want to shake it out of you,”

“You know Hudson, right?” At Scarlett’s careful topic, Sophia paused in confusion then rolled her eyes

Tiffany came in with a tray of two juice which she placed on the small table in the room then walked away

“You mean your crazy boyfriend whom you spend the whole day tap tap tapping on your phone whenever you’re next to me?” Sophia asked questioningly

Scarlett held her breath before she would blurt it out in a rushed exhale

“Hudson is Storm’s brother,” she replied

Sophia’s cup of juice hit the table with a loud thunk

“I’m sorry, what? the guy that left here just now is your Storm?” Sophia asked trying to process the whole thing

“That’s him,”

“Shut up!!” Sophia sat up

“It’s crazy, right? I know,”

“you’ve been f-__-king two heart drops, brothers!!” Sophia nearly screamed down the building

Scarlett covered her face with her hands

“How the h*ll does this $h|t even happen to you?”

“I don’t know,” Scarlett wailed, her hand settled back to her lap and she felt the whole roller coaster of anger again.

“Girl, what are you gonna do now? Are you going to leave Hudson cos your lover is back? Or will you stick to Hudson… I bet the Judson who just left here a few minutes ago won’t accept defeat,” Sophia said

“Girl!!!”

•THE BILL’S MANSION•

Angelina stepped out of the house with Fiona who was right beside her, laughing as they walked towards the already waiting car

“If I don’t know you, I would say you want to steal my mom from me,” Molly said coming towards them

Angelina chuckled

“I’m not,”

“Really? Cos it’s always the two of you, acting like teenagers,” she added and Fiona smiled

“That sounds like jealousy,” Fiona mumbled

“Molly, I already cook so will you help me do the dishes after eating,” Angelina asked

“Sure Mom, just don’t let her take you away from me cos I’m getting jealousy,” Molly replied

She walked past but stopped and looked back

“Mom,” Molly called and Angelina who was about to go into the car stopped and looked back at her

“Would you mind if I go to a party?” she asked

Angelina gave her a long glare without saying a thing

“Mom, please I will come back early…”

“Promise,”

“Yes,”

“Fine,” she went into the already waiting car and Molly jumped up

She’s actually Arlo’s date for the party

Molly finished doing the dishes, she yawned stretching herself as she walked over to their house which was a few walks away from the mansion, pushing the door open she paused by the door and immediately she saw Jayden waiting for her in their sitting room.

“W…..hat…. what are you doing here?” she stuttered blinking

He walked over to her, stopping right in front of her

“I’m sorry for kissing you the other time, I really do love you, a lot. I know you might not love but….” he paused and glared at her face

She was looking at him with wide eyes so he took a step forward, she didn’t move an inch so he took another step, taking his hand to her neck and caressing her soft skin

“Molly,”

“huh..” her voice fainty as she finds herself struggling to maintain a good posture

d@mn, he was freaking handsome, I bet girls are lined up waiting for him to ask them out

“I really do love you,” he leaned over, engaging her lips in a hot short kiss, Jayden pulled away while staring at her face

“Say something,” he muttered, caressing her cheeks

She was silent

“Anything,” he added with fear of rejection in his eyes

she gulped

“It’s okay if you don’t love me, I wasn’t expecting you to love me in return, but I just wanted you to know how I feel,” he let go of her, walking over to the door

“Good night Molly,” he said heartbroken, oh mehn, he was afraid of this that’s why he never let his love for her show, he knew she was gonna reject him. He knew it!

Molly stood there blinking none stop, like what the h*ll just happened? She’d always liked him but cos of her mom she kept her cool and….

d@mn, she’s so idiotic

She opened the door going after him

“Jayden,” she called rushing towards their house, not even bothered that she wasn’t wearing sneakers

She saw him talking to Audrey close to their house and Increased her steps but just then, she met the shock of her life which sent her knees crumbling

Right before her eyes Audrey and Jayden engaged in a kiss

“Jayden….” Came her low whisper but he heard her

Jayden pushed Audrey away and turned to see her shifting back then she took off, in tears

“Molly… Molly wait… Molly no come back…. Molly… Molly, please….. Molly!!!”

•THE ANDERSONS MANSION•

“Where are you taking me,” Tiffany asked

“Somewhere I know you’re gonna like,” he replied

They took the long hallway till they get to the library, he pushed a button on the wall and it opened then he went in, Tiffany’s jaw dropped immediately as she step foot inside the private library

“Whooo!!” her hand went to her jaw, she didn’t move as her head won’t stop spinning around, scanning the large one-story building that was filled from the floor to the top with books, neatly arranged.

There was a piano and a fancy chair at the right-hand side, a painting of a woman reading a book and a boy a little older was beside her listening.

“This is the best library I have ever seen all my life,” she mumbled going over to a table that has stacks of books on it.

“It’s my moms, you like it,” he asked coming from behind.

“Are you kidding? I love it,” she replied and took a book, flipping through the pages

He chuckled sliding closer, he might not be the perfect gentleman cos of their first meeting but she was d@mn right when she called him a troublemaker, he is Atticus the Might, the great Atticus.

He eased closer, sliding his fingers down the palms of her hands until her fingers curled around his, she gazed up at his face, her breathing picked up speed, her chest rising and falling rapidly, her jaw clenched.

He pulled her hands up towards his face and pressed a soft kiss to the inside of her wrist, just for a moment he let his nose drag against that same spot, and she let out a Mõ@ɲ.

She looked ready to combust pupils dilated and cheeks fetchingly pink, he stepped closer sliding his hand up the line of her neck into the soft fall of her hair, she stepped on his toe as he descended to claim her lips.

He s**ked on her bottom lip and let the heat of the kiss roll in waves over them, it was no tentative first kiss.

he depended on the kiss, tasting her lips and tongue with a bold weep of his.

“Hmm,” she Mõ@ɲed, pulling him closer, tongue twirling around his.

The soft pull of her lips on his filled his veins with a roaring sense of power, the likes of which he’d never experienced before her.

Shifting her underwear, he rubbed the tip of his finger through her p@zzy walls and she shivered with needs

“uh, uh, uh… Not here, and always keep this door closed at all times,” Mrs. Anderson’s voice came from behind

Tiffany quickly pulled up her dress, shading her face behind his back

“Mom!!!!” Atticus whimpered

“Sorry, I have things that are important here, take it up to your room please,”

•PARTY GRAND 9:02 P. M•

The big hall was bustling with Celebrities, philanthropists, businessmen, and women from all over the world and elite of pacific northwest.

They wandered the immaculately decorated tables, Peru’s the hall as they sipped their expensive wine and eat the expensive food on China plate

Scarlett began walking over to Hudson and wishing not to come across Storm.

She was wearing a short blue gown that stopped right under her big @zz, making it hard for most men to look away

“Excuse me, gentlemen,” Hudson said to the people he was talking to immediately after he saw her.

“You asked me to come here,” she said with a poker face.

Instead of answering, Hudson held her hand leading her away, Hudson slide the key card into the keyhole and the door opened reviewing a shining room with a king-size bed dominating the room.

Everything looked expensive but she wasn’t in a good mood to check things out or flirt with him.

He settled down on the couch and urged her to sit across him which she did. Crossing her legs.

“About my brother,” he began

“Are you still in love with Judson?” he asked, his voice husky and cold

“I never loved Judson and I don’t even know who that is,” she replied icily

“I mean Storm…. he’s the same as Judson,”

“No, My storm never dresses in an expensive suit…”

“he’s the same, nothing changed,” Hudson cut her off, he took a drink from the luxury table in front of him, pouring for himself, he poured in the other glass then passed it to her

“I don’t want to fight my brother again because of a woman, so tell me, do you still love him?” he sipped from his glass then sat it on the table

Scarlett was silent

“It’s okay… I mean it’s gonna hurt which I don’t even know why it’s gonna hurt but, have tried to make changes in a way things will favor him and I don’t want a woman to ruin that,” he added, even though he tried to sound gentle and nice His voice was still void of emotions and dark

“He’s not my Storm,” she replied, dropping her glass on the table

“It’s the same person, look beyond the suit and…”

“Please Mr. Anderson don’t ruin my day!!!!” she suddenly snapped

For a moment he was silent, he knows how she can be sometimes but he never expected her to snap like that.

“Storm will never lie to me under any circumstances, that Guy might be your lookalike but he’s not Storm,” she said

“Indeed,”

Silence took over the room for five minutes.

“Are you going to the party?” she asked, after calming down

“Nah, we will just stay here till you’re done being mad,” he replied, he took off his trousers, dropping it on the floor.

Hudson climbed the bed

“Get over here,” his Muscular voice came authoritatively

Scarlett walked over to him on the bed, laying beside him before resting her head on his chest as she listened to the steady beat of his heartbeat while he strokes her hair gently.

She Just the kind of woman he wants for himself, a woman that is challenging, not some boring Ɓîtçhes out there.

He don’t give a f-__-k if she has a kid for his brother or not, he saw her first, right here in California.

Her lifestyle alliance with his and he doesn’t give a f-__-king Mary-Jesus h*ll if his brother is still into her cos he’s not ready to let her go, he’s not deputy Jesus or whatsoever.

He looked down at her to see her eyes closed, her palm resting on his chest, seems like she has slept off.

Meanwhile, back at the party ground, Judson looking for Hudson cos their father requested for him.

“Have you seen Hudson?” he asked Diana who shook her head negatively.

“No,” she lied, of course, she saw him go into a room with Scarlett.

Storm walked past her

“Have you seen Hudson?” he asked Atticus who was rushing back to his room in a hurry.

“Nah….”

“Miss, have you seen Hudson Anderson?” he asked one of the guests.

“Oh, yeah, he went that way with a lady in a blue dress,” the woman replied, pointing In that direction.

Storm’s face darkened as he imagined it to be Scarlett, he quickly brought out his phone then scroll till he stopped at Scarlett’s picture

He’s gonna eliminate Hudson for real if he try $h|t with her.

“This woman?” he showed her the picture and the woman nodded.

“Yeah, that’s her,” she replied

“That son of a Ɓîtçh,” Storm went after them with gritting teeth
