Erica slapped herself on the face as she stared at Xavier who was groaning on the floor.
“What a man are you” she rolled her eyes before picking a knife from one of the market women.
She aimed it at the tire of the bike that was now moving slowly then threw it. The knife didn’t miss the tire, it stabbed it and the bike stopped moving immediately.
Xavier looked up from the ground to the bike.
“Wait here, let me continue from where I stopped” he said and helped himself up immediately.
He began chasing after the man while Erica sighed and followed behind, she didn’t run, she just walked slowly.
Xavier got the guy, he turned him to face him and wanted to punch him but the guy easily dodged him.
Xavier raised his hands to throw another punch but that guy dodged him again and gave him a punch on the stomach instead.
“Ouch!” Xavier groaned and stumbled on himself.
Erica was watching angrily from behind.
Xavier then went for the bag, he began dragging it with the thief.
“Let it go!” He yelled.
“No you let it go!!” The thief yelled back.
“Let! Go!” Xavier glared.
“Fine” the thief smirked and let the bag go and immediately, Xavier fell down.
The thief turned around and took his heels, Xavier wanted to stand up and go after him again but Erica stopped him.
“You’ve done too much already so let him go plus we got the bag” she stretched her hands out to him.
Xavier sighed and gave her the bag and as Erica collected it, she noticed the injury on his arms.
“You got injured” she said and he shook his head.
“It’s nothing, I didn’t even feel it” he scoffed.
“You got injured so come with me!” She rolled her eyes and took his hand.
Xavier stared at her hands on his and smiled. He said nothing as he allowed her to pull him to a little pharmacy shop.
“Excuse me, do you have any ointment for cuts?” She asked and the old man who owns the pharmacy shop nodded.
“Can I have your best please?” She replied and he went in.
He came back with the ointment and cotton wool.
“Here you go” he handed to her.
Erica paid up and held Xavier’s hands again. She sighted an empty space that contained a big umbrella with a bench.
“Let’s sit over there” she dragged him along with her…
•••
“Ouch! Ouch! That burns!” Xavier winced as Erica gently rubbed the ointment on the cut in his arm.
She was trying her best to be gentle but he kept shouting at every small touch of the ointment.
She suddenly pressed the cotton wool on the injury really ha-rd and he screamed loudly.
“Erica, damn! What is your problem!” He complained.
“You really know nothing than to sleep with girls right?” She said angrily.
“Is that why you want to hurt my arm more than it already is?” He asked back and she pressed the cotton wool even more.
“Arghh! Please no more!” He cried painfully.
“You should have just stayed back if you weren’t good at fighting” she rolled her eyes.
“I’m really good, don’t judge me by what you saw out there” he said immediately.
“Yeah, you totally did well by not being able to throw a single punch, nice” she said, sarcasm was definitely in her voice.
Xavier scoffed silently and Erica helped him to plaster his hands.
“Thanks” he smiled.
“Whatever, let’s just go home” she stood up and began leaving.
Xavier looked at his hand and smiled, he stood up and ran after her.
◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍
The door opened and Erica stepped in, she threw her bag on the bed and loosed her packed hair down immediately.
“How was the date?” Gwen asked with a smile.
Lucky didn’t even recognize that Erica was back because she was busy having a video call with Edward and rolling on the bed.
As for Naomi, she went out and wasn’t back yet.
“I’m really tired, I have no comment for now” she replied and entered the restroom.
The moment she went in, she turned on the tap from the basin and rinsed her face as she recalled what happened earlier.
The way Xavier fell and how he couldn’t even throw a punch was cute to her. She didn’t know when she smiled.
“Foòlish duck!” She muttered and smiled again.
◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍
Naomi slowly opened her eyes and blinked slowly when she found herself in a strange bed.
‘This is not my new room’ she thought.
“Good morning sleeping beauty, glad to see that you’re awake” a familiar voice sounded and she looked up to see Dante coming out of the door.
She guessed it must be his bathroom because his hair and his chest were dripping w-et and he was tieing a white towel only.
“My eyes!” She screamed and blocked her face with her palms.
“I’ve told you countless of times that I’m a girl and you’re a guy, stop showing up nake-d in front of me!!” She yelled out.
“I’m only shirtless and you’re complaining, incase you don’t know, you’re my a-ssistant so you should get used to seeing me like this” he replied and went to his wardrobe to look for what to wear.
Naomi kept her eyes closed throu-ghout,he only shook his head as he stared at her before picking up a button shirt.
“Can you knot a tie?” He suddenly asked.
“Yes why?” She replied.
“Open your eyes and come over here” he said and her eyes slowly went open.
He was putting on a formal wear and was struggling to knot his tie as it has become his major problem.
“Why are you dressed like that?” She asked with her face squee-zed.
“You’ll know soon, come on” he called her over.
“We are going out again? I spent the whole night watching you play that dumb basketball and I didn’t know how I fell asleep and got here and now you’re asking me to go out with you again?” She complained.
“Are you complaining?” Dante asked with an amused look.
Naomi stood up with a frown, she murmured somethings and moved closer to him.
“How come you can use hours to play basketball but can’t even knot a simple tie” she muttered and got to his level.
He was quite tall so she tiptoed instead, she brou-ght her hands to his neck and began knotting his tie.
While she was helping him with his tie, Dante got lost in staring at her face, does she always look cute, always…
Naomi could feel his gaze on her and she slowly raised her head up to look at him, their eyes met, he was looking directly to her eyes, really intensely.
Naomi blinked twice, she wanted to look away but strangely she couldn’t, his eyes were so beautiful, drawing her closer to him.
The stare kept happening and before she knows it, she felt a hand on her waist, the feeling alone sent shivers down her body.
What is happening?
“Why?” Dante asked in a whisper and she gave him a confused look with her eyes widened.
They were still staring at each other.
“What’s happening?” He asked again and his eyes went to her li-ps.
“I don’t.. know what you’re talking about?” She replied and surprisingly, her voice was coming out in a whisper too.
She was doing her very best not to stare at his li-ps.
“What’s happening to me? You don’t know what I’m tempted to do right now” he said again and his eyes slowly went to her li-ps.
They were looking pink and soft and tasty.
Naomi’s heart skipped a beat when she followed his eyes, her eyes slowly trailed down to his li-ps and he gulped nothing down.
She couldn’t hold this anymore, something was pushing her to do what she doesn’t want to think of and she couldn’t control it.
She li-cked her li-ps slowly.
“Don’t do that” Dante shook his head, one of his hands went to her face and his thumb touched her li-ps.
Naomi’s heart skipped more beats, his thumb alone was sending shivers down her spine, she couldn’t control the feeling of jelly fishes and butterfly on her stomach.
“Don’t do what?” She asked back, trying to concentrate on what she was doing at the first place.
How did knotting his tie got to this.
He pulled her more closer and she gasped but he bumped his forehead on hers.
“Don’t ever li-ck your li-ps in front of me or any other man if you don’t want me to destroy them with mine” he said and Naomi’s heart skipped more beats.
He pulled away when he heard his phone ring. Naomi also cleared her throat and stepped back.
He said somethings on the phone before facing Naomi.
“Let’s go, the cloth on that chair is yours, put it on, I’m waiting for you in the car” he said before leaving.
When he left, Naomi breathed out and touched her chest. It was still beating rapidly.
‘What just happened?’ she couldn’t help but wonder.
◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍◍
“What’s with Naomi and not showing up in cla-ss these days?” Gwen said as she came out of the cla-ss with Erica.
Lucky did not walk with them, she has a date with Edward so she had to go get ready.
“We need to have a good talk with that girl, if she keeps doing like this then how does she wanna pa-ss her exam, she didn’t even sleep in the hostel last night and she’s not picking her calls either” Erica said.
“Maybe she’s with her father, and I told her that we were gonna go together” Gwen rolled her eyes.
Xavier ran towards them.
“I’m so sorry Gwen but I need to talk to Erica, just a minute please” he said with a pleading voice.
Gwen shrugged and left while Erica faced him.
“I ruined our date last night, please let me make it up to you, another date please” he pleaded.
“Another dumb idea you have? Let’s here it?” She rolled her eyes.
“This one isn’t dumb, I can promise you that, I’ll pick you up tomorrow night” he winked and left.
Erica just smiled before turning around and leaving.
“Jenis!” Jenis who was on her way to the girls hostel turned back when she saw Jace behind her.
She gasped inwardly and what happened in the restroom came to her mind.
Last night she couldn’t stop thinking of it, she dreamt of it severally and found herself w-et each time she wakes up from sleep.
“What?” She found her voice and managed to ask.
“I was angry yesterday and took it out on you, I abused our friendship and i don’t know why I did that, I hope you can forgive me” he said slowly.
Jenis didn’t say anything.
“Jenis please..”
“You were the first guy to touch me that way” she said and he gasped silently.
“Yeah and I couldn’t stop thinking of it, I don’t know Jace I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I just…I just…”
Jace moved closer to her and hugged her tight.
“I promise you, you’ll be fine” he said softly and she shook her head.
“I won’t I couldn’t sleep well last night, I want that feeling again, please help me” she muttered and buried her face on his neck.
“I’m sorry, it’s not happening again, please forgive me” he replied and pulled away.
“Jace” she called in tears.
“Sorry” he replied before turning around and leaving.
“Jace!!” Jenis shouted after him.

Many couples were holding hands and patrolling the busy park, Edward and Lucky weren’t an expection.
They were holding and swinging their arms together as they talked about random things.
Each time, Edward was glance at other couples, the guys in particular. They were all good looking, good body and handsome unlike him.
“Look, it’s an ice cream truck, let’s go get some” she smiled and grabbed his hands but he pulled her back.
“What’s wrong?” She asked slowly.
“Do you think it’s a good idea to go about with me?” He asked.
“Huh? Why are you suddenly asking me that?” She replied.
“Ion know, everyone here are so good looking, handsome with good body and I’m just…”
Lucky pressed her li-ps on his without letting him finish. She pulled away after some seconds.
“You don’t have six packs and muscles like them so what? Am I complaining?” She frowned at him.
“I’m sorry” he muttered.
“No matter what people say please have it in mind that I love you the way you are, my chubby bunny” she said and pinched his cheeks.
Edward just smiled cutely.
“I love you too” he said.
“Good, now let’s go get ice cream” Lucky smiled and took his hand, leading him to the ice cream truck.

The door opened and Dominic stepped in with Gwen.
“Woah!” Gwen gasped as she looked around. It’s just like a hostel but better and bigger just for one person.
“My dad got this place for me but I chose for it to be a private place for you and I when you finally become mine” he said.
Gwen smiled widely and began walking around.
“I love everything here” she said and Dominic nodded.
Her tummy suddenly hurt, seems like her period just stared.
“I’m sorry, mind if I use your bathroom for a while?” She asked and he nodded, he showed her the way.
Gwen smiled and entered in then locked the door.
Dominic decided to wait for her on the couch when his phone began ringing, it was a video call from his father and he sighed and picked.
“Son, how’s everything fairing over there?” President Jameson asked.
“Everything’s fine dad, I’m kinda busy now so I want to…”
As Dominic was coming, Gwen came out of the restroom.
“Babe please I need you to help me do some-” she paused when she saw the president on Dominic’s screen.
President Jameson narrowed his eyes as he stared at her.
“Son, who’s she?”
