“I love Catalina”

Franklin who was about taking a sip from his mug paused and looked at Frederick.

“Wait what? Did you just say you love Catalina,,, your secretary??” Franklin asked with wide eyes.

“How? Why? Where? What? Your secretary?! Thought you always said…’I don’t mix my work with my personal life'” Franklin mimicked him

“I don’t know,, it just…happened” Frederick said and sighed

“She’s so different and for the first time since Tatiana left, I was able to relate with the opposite gender” Frederick muttered.

“First was Flynn and now you. God I’m I that ugly” Franklin sighed.

“So what do you think you’re going to do now” Franklin asked.

“I don’t really know” Frederick said.

Franklin thought for awhile and smiled…

“I have an idea..”

✧✧✧✧✧✧

Catalina got down the cab and walked to her house while humming a song happily as she twirled around.

“Phobia… Gone! Can’t wait to see my doctor” She giggled and opened the door to see Marcel

“Max? What are you doing here? Where is mom?” Catalina asked, looking around.

“She’s upstairs, sleeping. Yunno she works at night” Marcel replied.

“Where have you been?! Your brother called me last night, saying you didn’t come back and I was so worried about you.” Marcel said.

“Well,, I slept at… My boss’s place” Catalina said

“Your boss?! Wait why!” Marcel asked jealously.

“It’s a long story I don’t really wanna think about it right now Max” Catalina said

“I’m so hungry!” She stretched her hands and began heading to the kitchen but Marcel grabbed her hand

She turned to him.

“Do you love your boss?” Marcel asked and Catalina furrowed her brows.

“What are you talking about?” She asked

“Do you love your boss?” Marcel asked.

“Why are you sounding so-”

“Jealous? Yes, I am jealous.. Everytime, it’s always about him and only him… Catalina, I love you..just give me-”

“Max, please…” Catalina cut him off.

“I’m sorry but I see you as a friend and I can’t suddenly change the way I see you overnight besides if I had feelings for you, it’ll never work between us. You wanna know why? Because Jolie loves you” Catalina said and Marcel’s eyes widened..

“What?”

“Yes… She loves you, ever since we were teens- at a point were she’s ready to put your own happiness before hers but I just can’t do that to her” Catalina said and removed her hand from his grip.

“Please burry your feelings for me, I know it will be hard but just try because so long as Jolie still loves you then nothing will happen between us” Catalina said and went

Marcel stood on his spot as he watched her go, he didn’t know when a drop of tear fell from his eyes.

✧✧✧✧✧✧

Logan could be seen pacing round his room in deep thoughts, ever since Cora left he has been restless. If confusion was a person then that would be him at the moment

What will he do? Should he take Cora’s son in?

“No… That’ll shatter I’m trying to handle since my wife díed. How will Frederick and Drake react when they find out I have a son out of marriage. Frederick might get angry but still forgive me later but Drake? He’s going to hate me for life” Logan thought

“But what if I don’t agree? Cora never sends empty threats, she’s gonna ruin my reputation” Logan thought and rubbed his forehead to soothe the migraine he was already having.

His eyes widened when an idea suddenly came up in his mind.

“Why didn’t I think of this all along. All I have to do is marry Frederick to another woman then I’ll sign all my money to his name and his wife’s name as a wedding gift. Cora will do nothing since all my wealth will now belong to Frederick” Logan muttered and smiled.

He immediately picked his phone and made a call

“Henry, about the betrothal… I think my son is ready” Logan smiled.

✧✧✧✧✧✧

“So what are you gonna do now? Will you go for the pool party?” Calvin asked as he walked with Aubrey to where their lockers were.

“Yes, and I’m gonna make Drake regret. He lost a priceless diamond and he’ll regret it” Aubrey smirked.

“Priceless diamond indeed” Calvin laughed mockingly.

“What do you mean by that?” Aubrey looked at him..

“I’m just trying to hint you that a used good has more value than you but since you’re so dúmb to understand it so-”

“Idíot!!” Aubrey began hitting him with the book she was holding and he laughed as he covered his face.

The students passing by couldn’t help but glance at them.

“Nothing to worry, we’re just having a couple’s fight” Calvin said while laughing.

He stood up right and held her wrist before snatching the book from her.

“Was just teasing you. Stop making it too obvious that you’re dúmb” Calvin smirked

Aubrey glared at him and suddenly raised her knee to his middle.

“Argh!” Calvin’s knee dropped to the floor as he held the part she just kneed.

Aubrey scoffed and began walking away..

“You’ll… You’ll pay for this… Argh!!” Calvin groaned.

••••

Drake and Clara were busy K!SSing hotly in the laboratory. Drake suddenly broke the K!SS.

“What’s wrong baby?” Clara asked breathlessly.

“Nothing,, just that Calvin guy. He keeps getting on my nerves and I wanna get back at him, I wanna do something to him that he’ll never forget and that will hurt him very much” Drake muttered.

“Okay, I see. My dad has a spy who helps him do some of his shady business, I can just talk to him to monitor his family. I’m sure by the end of the day, we’ll have something we can use against him” Clara said and Drake smiled.

“That’s why I love you babe. You’re just like me,, unlike that fóolish Aubrey” Drake said and K!SSed her.

Clara giggled K!SSing him back. His hands slipped under her skirt and he dipped two of his finger inside her went Çüñť.

“Mhm..” She Mõ@ɲed in his mouth

Drake broke the K!SS and began unbuckling his belt..

“Keep your voice down” He muttered and spread her legs apart

She smiled and bit her lips impatiently as she shifted her G-string. Drake buried himself inside her and began ramming her Pů$$¥ at a fast pace.

“Ahh..” Clara bit her lips, trying to suppress her Mõ@ɲs.

✧✧✧✧✧✧

Catalina sat in the restaurant as she pressed her phone while waiting for the girls to arrive. She could feel the eyes of some men on her but she didn’t even bother looking..

“Cata!” Jolie walked in and all the men’s gaze diverted go her

👥 She’s hot…

She was wearing a black backless mini hugging her curved figure. Catalina stood and they hugged..

Almost immediately Thalia walked in too, looking so pretty and gorgeous. The people in the restaurant looked at her in awe, of course everyone knows who she is.

“Lia you came” Catalina smiled

“Of course, Flynn actually dropped me just now”

“Awww… My poor single àss” Jolie whined

“Thought you were dating like three men” Catalina rolled eyes.

“Broke up with them… Relationship with no feelings attached was so boring” Jolie said

“I invited you guys so we could hang out one last time before I travel. I’m actually going on a business trip with my boss tomorrow” Catalina said.

“A business trip…” Thalia smirked knowingly.

“With your boss… Just the two of you” Jolie completed Thalia’s phrase, smirking too

“I know what you two are thinking…stop it” Catalina shook her head and drank from her cappuccino

“But that’ll be so romantic, imagine a business trip just the two of you… You and the filthy rich and super handsome CEO” Jolie said dreamily.

“Yeah, especially now that your boss has a thing for you” Thalia said and Catalina immediately spit out the cappuccino.

“What!!”

“Don’t tell me you’re that blind not to see he has a soft spot for you” Thalia rolled eyes.

“Yeah. Which boss speaks casually, hold hands, teases and always stares at his secretary.” Jolie said.

“We’re just friends. Stop over thinking things would you” Catalina scoffed

“Last time when we celebrated his birthday with him… I saw the way he looked so jealous with you talking with Max” Jolie said.

“You guys are thinking too far” Catalina rolled eyes.

Thalia and Jolie exchanged glances and just shrugged.

“Let’s go shopping… We need to get Șëx¥ lingeries for Cat incase things gets spicy during the trip” Thalia smirked.

“Thalia!!” Catalina exclaimed and Jolie laughed.

✧✧✧✧✧✧

“Cat, do you think I should go with a shirt or not… I wanna show the girls out there my six packs” Calvin said

“Do whatever you want kiddo” Catalina said, engrossed in her phone.

“I’ll be going now babies… Calvin make sure you get back home before 11pm okay?” Sarah said, wearing her crossbag.

“Alright mom, wish I could help you in your nighttime job” Calvin said and Sarah smiled.

“Just focus on your education. That’ll be enough for me” Sarah said and pecked his cheek. She pecked Catalina’s cheek too before leaving.

“So Cata, how was your night at your boss’s place?” Calvin asked.

Catalina suddenly thought of how Frederick pinned her on the bed and the close view of his face. She shook her head and faced her phone.

“Was okay” She muttered

“Just okay? Then why were you spacing out earlier huh?” Calvin smirked, wiggling his brows

“What is wrong with everybody constantly shipping us together! We’re just friends!” Catalina said loudly.

“But you two look so good together” Calvin said and Catalina sighed then stood up.

“I’m heading to my room, lock the door when you’re leaving for hours pool party” Catalina said and began going.

“I want to be an uncle… Imagine being the uncle to the child of Frederick Reynolds” Calvin said and Catalina turned to him then removed her shoe and began running to him.

Calvin immediately carried his backpack then ran out of the house while laughing.

Catalina slammed the door and locked it.

“How I love teasing her” He chuckled and began leaving for the pool party

His phone suddenly began ringing and he brought it out to see it’s an unknown number.

“Who can it be?” He wondered and picked.

“Hello” He furrowed his boss.

“I’m speaking to Calvin Watson right?” The voice said

“Yeah. Who is it this”

“It’s your sister’s boss”

Calvin’s eyes widened

“Frederick! I mean,, Mr Reynolds!” He gasped shockingly.

“Yeah, I took your number from your sister’s phone last night coz I needed your help on something” Frederick said

“Wow! The one and only Mr Reynolds needs my help” Calvin said excitedly.

“I’m all ears sir” Calvin said

“Okay.. I wanted to know everything about your sister, what she likes and dislikes, her favorite meal and all.” Frederick said and a short silence followed.

“You want to know about my sister..” Calvin repeated.

Calvin wanted to ask why but he quickly reasoned it out. He slowly smiled.

“Okay, I’ll tell you… So first, she has a secret wishlist of things she wanna do in this life… I’m currently not at home but once I get home I’ll sneak in her room then send the picture of the wishlist to you. Secondly, her favorite thing to do are…” Calvin talked as he walked down the road with his free hand in his pocket.

✧✧✧✧✧✧

Sarah got down the cab then looked around to make sure no one was watching her before entering a building. Music was blaring loudly from the building

The spy Clara hired walked out of his hiding and looked at the building.

“A brothel? What is she doing here?” The spy muttered and wore the cap of his hoodie before walking in the brothel.

Men could be seen cheering as they watched the various strippers dance on the pole. The Lū$tful men kept spraying money on them as they danced.

The spy sat slowly sat down as he looked around…

“And here comes the woman you’ve been waiting for. Our Șëx¥, our incredible… Masked diva!” The emcee said and the men began shouting loudly as a lady ascended the stage.

She was wearing a red lingerie with a red mask covering only her eyes with makeup on her face. The shouts became louder as she began pole dancing

The spy’s eyes widened. Even with mask on, he could recognize her. That’s Sarah, the lady he was following

He quickly brought his phone out to take a video…

✧✧✧✧✧✧

That’s Clara’s home, a very huge and luxurious mansion. The students could be seen coming in the mansion in their numbers.

At the back of the mansion where the pool was located, music could be seen blaring loudly. Lots of girls were dressed in their bikinis and swim suit, all looking Șëx¥.

Some where walking around with their drinks at hand while some where busy dancing to the music, some K!SSing and twerking on their partners while some were in the pool, swimming.

The vibe of the place was so funky fresh and fun.

After almost 20 minutes of talking on the phone with Frederick, Calvin said his goodnight and hung up before walking in the area.

“Sounds fun” He smiled and went to change to his swimsuit.

Few minutes, he came out and the girls there couldn’t help but drool over him. He was poor, yes but they couldn’t deny the fact that he was so handsome and hot.

He dipped his hands in the pocket of his boxer as he walked, his six pack stood out and his messy hair made him look more Șëx¥.

“Hey!” Nelson waved and he turned to them to see Nelson and Dream waving at him.

“Dream? Thought you didn’t fancy this sort of party” Calvin said

“Well it’s not too late for change right?” Dream chuckled.

That was an obvious lie since she came for Calvin..

“Welcome to my pool party everyone!! Have fun and eat to your fullest since I’m sure for some people here, it’ll be the last time they’ll eat such delicacies in their life” Clara eyed Calvin while saying that and she smirked.

Calvin remained unfazed at that..

“Let’s go swimming guys” He turned to his friends and said.

Nelson made to talk when his eyes caught Alice sitting by the counter.

“Umm, I’ll join you guys” Nelson said and left

“Let’s go then” Dream smiled and Calvin mirrored her smile before they both began heading to the pool.

“Babe!” Clara exclaimed as she walked to Drake.

Clara made to hug him when water splashed on them. Drake frowned.

“What the-”

Drake paused as he watched who emerged from the pool. Like a slow mo Aubrey emerged out of the pool, she ran her hands through her wet hair as she slowly climbed the stairs out of the pool.

Drake’s eyes widened as he stared at her body. Did she suddenly became more Șëx¥ overnight??

She was wearing a lacy black thong bikini that showcased her round full br**sts and flat tummy. Her red full lips stood out S£xily.

All eyes were on her as the guys drooled on her.

“Excuse me” She passed in between Drake and Clara, going to Calvin.

Drake’s eyes stayed on her as she walked pass them, especially on her round àss that shook dangerously as she walked.

“Babe” Clara called Drake but he wasn’t longer with her.

Calvin too stood on his spot as he stared at Aubrey with wide eyes. She looked so, so, so…

“Babe” Aubrey smiled and before Calvin could process anything Aubrey slammed her lips on his, rounding her arms round his neck.

Calvin’s eyes widened but he quickly understood what she was doing and decided to play along. He placed his hands on her waist, slightly above her àss as he K!SSed her back too.

Dream folded her fists as she glared at them.

Drake on the other hand swallowed hard as he watched them K!SS like he wasn’t even there.

“How dare you stare at her that way!! I’m your girlfriend!!” Clara shouted and landed a deafening slap on Drake’s cheek.

The slap took him unaware and he stumbled then slipped and hit his head on the pool before falling in the pool.
