{ BAD BOY DWAYNE }
Nana looked at his face, focusing on his closed eyes. The ring on his left brow.
Her heart was still skipping beats.
She sighted the wound be got from hitting his head at the rooftop, and she squee-zed her bottom li-p slightly before looking away from his face.
There was silence, but she’s sure he’s not asleep yet, so it became awkward as only the sound of their soft breaths could be heard.
“How did your….twin die?” She asked, and he opened his eyes slowly.
“I and Dwight were only popular in England back then cos we only attended national dancing completions, we haven’t trended internationally. We expected an international invite for months, and when it finally came, it was from Cuba” he narrated.
Dwight was dancing to a fast pop music in the practice room, looking so s-exy in his joggers.
Dwayne ran in madly.
“Bro we finally made it internationally!!” He screamed.
“What do you mean?” Dwight asked in his calm voice, and Dwayne showed him his phone screen. The invitation stared right at him.
“OMG!” Dwight gasped.
“We’re going to Cuba!” Dwayne shouted, and Dwight hug-ged him tightly.
“Finally what we’ve been chasing. I love you so much Dwayne” he said overwhelmingly.
“I love you more bro, so much!” Dwayne replied.
“Cuba?” Mary said, coming into the room.
“Yes mum, our first international…
“I can’t allow you guys. I feel odd about this and I dunno why” she interrupted.
“If you tell us not to go, then we shouldn’t” Dwight said softly.
“No we’re leaving tommorow morning, mum stop already!, This is the peak of our dancing career and you’re acting as a stumbling block?” Dwayne said.
“Dwayne….
“We’re leaving, and that’s final” Dwayne interrupted and left the room.
Mary had no choice but give in, so the next morning, they flew to Cuba and arrived by 7pm.
Immediately they came out of the plane, their fans from England who came to cheer them up surrounded them, they’re so many.
????️ D-Square!!!!
????️ Good to see you in Cuba!
????️ Can’t wait to see you guys on stage!
????️ Cuban dancers must bow!
????️ Your winning is sure!
????️ I love you guys!
????️ Blow kis-ses please!
????️ My babies forever!
????️ Fire!!! I’m burning for you guys!
Dwight was waving simply with his usual soft smile while Dwayne blew kis-ses with winks.
The chauffeur sent to bring them to the hotel enter the crowd of fans with two guards, and they started guarding them to the car, away from the excited fans who kept rushing after them.
Dwayne looked at Dwight, and they smiled at each other before looking ahead, and that was when it happened.
Four consecutive gunshots sounded at once, making all the fans go down low in fear.
Unfortunately, all the four bullets hit Dwight right on the forehead, and Dwayne ran mad immediately he fell on the ground.
His head cracked in multiple places, and his brain touched the ground.
“Dwight!!!!!!!!!!”
Dwayne was already in tears when he finished narrating, even Nana herself.
“I knew I’d cry, shit” he said, smiling sadly as he wiped his tears.
“If only I had listened to mum’s warning, if only I haven’t dragged him to Cuba, if only…
He only lamented that much before starting to cry again.
“That happened when we were eighteen, and that’s why we moved from England to this place. Mum deleted our IG account and erased everything about D-Square, so we’ve been forgotten. She forbade me from dancing publicly, and she hates me a lot” he cried.
“The killers, were they captured?” Nana sniffed, wiping her tears.
“No. No one even knew who did it cos we had a lot of enemies back then, the rival dance crews” he replied.
“I wish I could turn back the hands of the clock, I’d have listened to mum, I’d have…. I’d…
He started skipping, and he stopped talking, then he began crying full time.
Nana pulled his head to herself and hug-ged him,then she started patting his back.
“Sorry, please stop crying” she muttered gently.
His tears didn’t stop till he eventually slept off like that.
She sat back and returned his head to her shoulders, then she wiped the tears on his sleepy face.
Who’d ever know he’s going throu-ghall these?
What everyone sees is a jerky annoyingly rebellious guy who needs good beating, but tonight…
She saw a different side of the great Dwayne Miller.
She was unaware of when she slept off too, her head rested on his.
•••
“Calm down?, My daughter is missing and you’re telling me to calm down?, She’s not picking her calls too!” Jisoo said fearfully.
She’s in front of the house with Rona and Jimin.
“She might be at a sleepover with any of her friends, she’s not a baby” Rona said.
“She’d have told us if she was going anywhere!, You know how she is” Jisoo replied, dialling her line again.
“She’s not picking again, Nana!!!” She shouted.
“You’re disturbing the neighbors, Nana is fine wherever she is, I can feel it” Jimin said, and Jisoo smacked his head.
“Are you even her father at all?, Find my daughter!” She snapped.
“Jisoo?” Mary appeared with Bianca.
“Mary!” Jisoo rushed to her.
“I heard you shout, you ok?” Mary asked, looking worried.
“Nana, Nana is missing” Jisoo replied.
“Missing?” Mary blinked.
“She went on a date with Shane” Bianca said.
“Shane?, Wait…the motorcycle guy?” Rona said.
“Sure. Maybe she pa-ssed the night at his place” Bianca replied.
“Pa-ssed the night at his place on their first date?, Is that how guys do here?, and is that why she’s not picking my calls?, I’ll kill her and get myself locked up in jail once she shows up tommorow morning!” Jisoo shot, and Mary smiled.
“That angel is fine, so put your mind at rest Jisoo” Mary said, and Jisoo began releasing heavy breaths.
“Wanna have some soju?” She eventually asked.
“Excluding me!, I have to chat with my babies” Bianca said and rushed back to the house.
Mary entered with Jisoo and the rest, and Rona got four bottles of soju from the freezer which she set on the center table.
They sat around it and poured their cups.
“How do I say cheers in Korean?” Mary asked as they all took their cups.
“Kumbe!” Jimin said.
“Kumbe!” They all chorused and clinked their gla-sses before drinking.
“Nothing is good like soju at 12” Rona said dramatically, and Mary laughed.
•••
Bianca jumped on her bed immediately she got home, then she got her phone and went to the group chat.
BIANCA: Guys!, Nana is leaving the virg-in gang tonight I think!
CECE: Tell me more!, Is she back from the date?
BIANCA: She pa-ssed the night at Shane’s place I think, maybe he asked her out
CECE: Oh wow!, She’s peng so it’s cool!
BIANCA: Carmen?
CECE: Dean is still freaking her out. Dunno what’s up with him
BIANCA: It better not be what I’m thinking
CECE: Then he’s begging to be beaten
BIANCA: ????
CECE: Girl, I’m horny
BIANCA: Goodnight! ????????
She left the chat and dialled Shane’s line.
He picked luckily.
“Hey!, Planning to screw my friend till daybreak?, Touch her and you’re dead!, It’s still the first day so give her some space!” She said jokingly.
“Nana is not here” he replied.
“What!”
“Is she not home yet?” He asked quickly.
“Shit!” Bianca’s eyes wide-ned.
•••
Dwayne was the first to wake up, and immediately he raised his head, Nana almost crumbled, but he quickly held her head and placed it on his shoulder, then he smiled.
“Wait….I cried in front of her last night…. fuc-k ” he muttered, still looking at her.
His eyes caught the mole below her left eye again, and he brou-ght his hand to it, touching it slightly.
She has a very soft and smooth skin, difficult to take his fingers away from, so he kept touching.
Her eyes suddenly opened, and he quickly removed his finger, then she raised her head from his shoulder.
“It’s morning already?” She said.
“Of course, dummy” he replied, and she faced him sharply.
“Dummy?”
“What about it?” He replied, and she smacked his head.
“Ouch!, Are you crazy? My head hurts!” His eyes wide-ned as he held the head.
She rolled eyes and stood, then the door opened, and one of the resturant cleaners came in.
“We got locked in here” Nana said.
“Oh!, You’re the owner of this phone, I saw it here while clearing up the plates” The man said, bringing out the phone.
“Thanks a lot” Nana took the phone and walked out.
Dwayne rushed after her.
“I have an 8 o’clock cla-ss, I’ll be late” she said, walking faster.
“Mrs Whitney’s cla-ss?” Dwayne asked.
“Yes, you had her?” She asked.
“Sure, I had her last year. She’s the only one who enjoys early cla-sses, that witch” he replied, and she smiled.
They got out, and he walked to his car.
“Hop in, I’ll drive you home” he said.
She kept standing.
“Be quick, you can’t be late for the witch’s cla-ss” he said, and she rushed to the car with him.
They got in, and he drove away.
She had the time to check her phone, and her eyes wide-ned when she saw twenty missed calls from her mum.
The missed calls from Shane is countless.
That instant, Shane’s call rang, and she smiled before picking.
“Hey!”
“Where have you been?, I’ve been worried sick!” He said with relief.
“I was trapped in the restaurant room when I went back to get my phone” she replied.
“You should have called” he said.
“Stop nagging, I’m fine” she chuckled.
“Honestly I couldn’t sleep all night. I was so scared that something bad happened to you. I almost called the cops and…
“I’m sorry, please?” She said, and he inhaled.
“It’s ok, are you on your way back home?” He asked.
“Yes, I’ll see you in school” she replied.
“Sure, I love you” he replied.
“I love you too” she said, and Dwayne’s palms hardened on the wheel.
She hung up, then he spoke up.
“Boyfriend?”
“Yes, Shane Warren” she replied, and he clenched his teeth before stepping on the accelerator.
He started speeding, and her eyes wide-ned.
“Dwayne what are you doing?”
No answer, he only concentrated on the rou-ghdrive.
“Dwayne!!!!”
He slowed down, and she breathed heavily.
“What did you just do?” She pan-ted.
“Sorry, was senseless for a while” he replied and resumed the smooth drive till they got home.
Jisoo was preparing breakfast when Nana got in.
“eomma!” She smiled, hugging her from behind.
“I’ve made a promise to kill you and get myself locked up in jail!” Jisoo shouted, grabbing the rolling stick from the counter.
Nana ran away from her, and she began chasing her round the counter.
“Eomma!!!” She shouted.
“How dare you pas-sthe night at a guy’s place on your first date?, I didn’t bring you up that way!” Jisoo snapped, climbing the counter to jumpe beside her.
“I didn’t sleep at a guy’s house trust me!, Mum!” Nana ran far from her.
Jisoo ran after her like flash.
“And now you’ve started lying?, Stop it and come here let’s die together!, Nana!” She shouted, and Nana took the other side of the counter.
“Mum believe me!!, I got trapped in a…
“Bullcrap!, Stop talking!!!” Jisoo shouted, and Rona came in.
“Eomma!” She shouted and held her tightly.
“Let me go!, I need to teach her a lesson!” She shouted.
“Go” Rona winked at Nana, and she started running out of the kitchen.
Jisoo threw the rolling stick, but coincidentally, Jimin came into the kitchen that same time.
Instead of Nana, the stick hit ha-rd on his forehead, and his eyes rolled up.
His tongue stuck out as he went down flat, pa-ssing out.
“Appa!” Nana gasped.
•••
Aura was really locked in a cell last night at Mr Windsor’s orders, but this morning, she was released.
Immediately the cell gate was opened, she picked her jacket and pushed the cop out of the way rou-ghly, then she walked out.
She spread her arms when she got out, inhaling the air.
She was still doing that when she sighted Shane driving past on his bike.
“Sweetheart!” She shouted, running after him, but before she could get to him, he was already out of sight.
She sighed and boarded a taxi which took her home.
Entering the house, she met the family at the dinning room, eating breakfast.
“How was your night in the cell?” Honey asked mockingly.
“Join the maids to clean the house” Mr Windsor said, and Aura smirked.
“I still can’t understand why you hate me this much. You weren’t blind when were fuc-k ing my mum so why!!!, Are you mad?” She said.
“What!” Mrs Windsor stood.
“Did you just talk to me that way?” Mr Windsor said.
“The next time you raise your hand to slap me, I’m slapping you back I swear!” She said seriously and rushed upstairs.
“Dad!, You need to get her arrested again!” Honey said.
“Are you gonna sit and do nothing?, She just talked down on you!” Mrs Windsor said.
Mr Windsor smiled darkly before drinking from his cup of tea.
•••
Dean was the first person Carmen saw when she entered the second year CSC block, and she quickly ran to him.
“Dean!” She called, making him face her.
“Carmen” he said, and she hug-ged him tightly immediately.
“Why haven’t you been picking your calls and why weren’t you replying your messages?, I couldn’t sleep throu-ghout last night and I went to your house three times but you weren’t there, what exactly is happening!” She cried on his chest.
Dean hug-ged her back slowly, and she sniffed.
“I’m so sorry, I’ve just been busy”
“Busy?, No matter how busy you were, you always made time for me. What changed baby?, What?” She said, looking up at his face.
“Ok I promise not to try it anymore, I’m sorry” he said.
“Promise?”
“Promise” he smiled, and he hug-ged her again.
•••
“Welcome the latest couple in WSU!, Shane Warren and Kim Nana!!!” CeCe shouted immediately Shane entered linguistics hallway with Nana. They’re holding hands.
????️ Whoa!!!!!!!!
Students started snapping their pictures, posting them with different captions.
????️ I’m jealous of her!
????️ Shane always looked like he’s never gonna date
????️ Why must it be that flat a-ss?
????️ She finally stole him!
“Wrong!, She actually stole my heart” Shane replied.
????️ Whoaaa!!!!
“Shane is the dude maahn!” Bianca shouted.
“fuc-k haters!” Carmen shouted.
“Haters like Dwayne” Dean said beside him.
“Stop acting like everything is fine with you when it’s obviously not. Is there something you’re not telling me?” Dwayne asked.
“I’m fine, let’s go to cla-ss” Dean smiled and pulled him along.
•••
Immediately Mrs Whitney’s clas-sended, Nana was the first to leave the clas-sto go use the restroom.
Martin dropped a bottle of fruit juice on CeCe’s table on his way out, but she grabbed it and threw it away immediately.
“I don’t need it!” She said and walked out of the cla-ss
“Sorry bro” Shane patted his shoulder.
Martin left the clas-simmediately, then he went to the restroom to wash his face.
He does that anytime he’s frustrated.
Immediately he finished washing and looked up, he saw Stanley in the mirror, and his eyes wide-ned as he turned back to see him for real.
“Stan…
The LEY went down his throat when Stanley held his face and crashed his li-ps on his own.
His eyes wide-ned insanely.
•••
Nana was still easing herself when water from the roof of the stall poured on her.
She became totally soaked as she spranged up and rushed out of the room, only to meet Serena and Riley in front of it.
They’re laughing derisively with their phone camera on, making a video of her w-etness.
“Aww, s-exy Kim rubbish!” Serena laughed, snapping her pictures.
“Pose for us” Riley cackled, coming closer to make a clearer video.
Nana made to snatch the phones from them, but immediately she took a step, she sli-pped and fell on the w-et tile.
“fuc-k !” Serena shouted, and they continued laughing, but the laughter was short-lived when Dwayne appeared with a pail of water too.
Not just water, soapy water.
He poured it directly on them.
“Ouch!, What’s this!” Serena shouted.
“Dwayne!” Riley gasped.
He took their phones and smashed it on the ground afterwards.
“Dwayne!!!”
Without any word, he squ-atted beside Nana, and she looked at him slowly.
She was already shaking with cold.
He took off his jacket to cover her, but Shane appeared and snatched the jacket away.
He threw it on the w-et groud before taking off his own Jacket.
He covered Nana with it and carried her in his arms, then he started walking away, stepping on Dwayne’s jacket on the ground.
Dwayne blocked him immediately.
“Throwing down my jacket was rude, and stepping on it wasn’t necessary” he said with a dangerous look.
“So?” Shane replied.
“What the…
Shane resumed walking, but immediately he took the third step, Dwayne spoke again.
“Nana, thanks for last night. I enjoyed it” he said, and Shane stopped with shocking wide eyes.
He turned back swiftly, going crazy completely.
“What!”
