Nikita never struggled, she just sat right there on his l@ps, allowing him to rest on her, he ti-ght£ñed his hands on her tummy and she took a slow breath
“Mr Austen” she called but he kept quiet
“Mr Austen” she called again but he won’t answer,,
” Austen” she called
“Hmn” he replied slowly
“So you were purposely not answering” she said
” cos you didn’t call my name right” he whispered and she smiled
” Do you feel better now? ” She asked
” Yes, I’m getting better, I just don’t know but holding you makes me feel better anytime” he replied
She kept quiet and after the promised two minutes, Austen took his head away from her back, he helped her up and he stood too
“Thanks for letting me” he said and she sighed before pointing her palm forward
” What?” He asked
“Money for resting on me” she said and Austen chuckled
” How much do you want?” He asked
“Maybe…. Millions of dollars?” She said
“You’re not an item for sale, you’re more than money” he said and she smiled
” Thought you were gonna give me, I’d have concluded that you’re taking me for granted” she said
Austen cane to her and held her shoulders. “I’ll never do that Nik, trust me” he said and she nodded
” I’ll try” she smiled and he pu-ll-ed her into a warm embr@ce, surprisingly…she hvgged him back
“And I want to tell you something” he whispered into her ear
“Oh..” she said expectantly
” You’re really pretty, sincerely the prettiest lady I’ve ever set my eyes on, maybe that’s why I haven’t been able to take my eyes off you since then” he said
” Are you handsome?” She asked and Austen giggled
” You’ll find out by yourself one day”
“I hope so” she replied
“And.., do you mind going out with me someday?, Just to have fun” he said, breaking the hvg
She waited for a while, thinking about what to say
“Say something plea-se, we won’t do it if you say we shouldn’t” he said though his voice shoes how much he really wants this
“We should go anytime you want, I’ll go with you” she said and his eyes brightened up
” Really?”
” Yes…to be honest Mr Austen, I feel comfortable and safe around you too, I feel happy too though we met not long ago….but you’re the best man I’ve ever met besides my late dad” she said seriously
” So far you’re in this office, so far I still remain Austen Malcolm, I promise that….no harm will come over you…I promise, I’ll protect you” he said and she smiled wi-dely
” Thanks… I feel safer” she said and Austen stro-ked her hair fondly.
Sunshine high school clinic**
BB woke up feeling much better, the headache is gone and her b©dy feels normal, she detected she’s on a be-d and quic-kly sat up
“Bright you’re awake” Eddy said quic-kly beside her
“How did I get here?” She asked, remembering she pas-sed out on the rooft©p where Drew was
*I took you from Drew and rushed here” Eddy replied, arranging her hair but she hit his hand away
“I can help myself” she said, arranging it by herself while getting down from the be-d
“The doctor said it might not be up to an hour before you wake up but you took so long, this is past one, just one clas-s left before the closing alarm will sound” Eddy said
” Even better” she replied, putting on her shoes, she started walking out of the ward while Eddy followed,,
“Bright” he called but she kept walking without answering
“Brinkley” he called again but she won’t answer till he pu-ll-ed her hand and made her face him f0rç£fully
“Are you always like this?, Do you know how worried I was?” He said
BB took her hand away from him quic-kly
“Why would you be worried about me” she said
“I don’t like the way you’re talking right now, we live together and you’re my friend too, then you expect me not to feel sad when you suddenly pas-sed out?, Then you woke up and didn’t even give me the chance to ask how you’re feeling or if you’re feeling better, it’s unfair’ he said seriously and BB sighed before di-pping her hand into her hair
“Ok I’m sorry, I was just furious that I pas-sed out in front of Drew” she said
” And you decided to take out your furiousness on me?” He said
” Teddy you …
“It’s ok” he cut her off and started leaving but she rushed to block his way
“Are you annoyed?, The baby Teddy is angry?” She said
He made to take the right but she blocked him, he tried taking the left too but she did the same
“Ok sorry once again….I won’t say it thrice so it’s better you take it now” she said and Eddy scoffed
” Thvg” he muttered and she smiled, looking his n£¢k in her arm as she pu-ll-ed him back to the school, Olive left some hours ago..
“So….you frequently get fever?” He asked
“Since my parents death, I get this agonizing fever frequently, I dunno why but maybe because I miss them a lot” she replied,her mood changing to sad
Eddy noticed that and poked her cheek suddenly
“Hey!” She almost shouted and he laughed
“Silly Teddy” she smiled as they entered the clas-s, the last teacher for the day is alre-ady in
“Eddy Magnus, BB…why are you guys just coming?” The teacher questioned
” He was sick , I took him to the clinic” BB replied and Eddy g@sped
” I was the one who took you to…..
BB quic-kly covered his mouth and dragged him to his sit. “Shhhh, talk or die” she said meanly and everyone laughed as she went to her seat
Drew raised his head from his books and gave her a long glance
She doesn’t look like the girl who pas-sed out the other time, how can she be perambulating around all existing personalities???
BB suddenly looked at him and he quic-kly looked away after receiving a glare from her
Melissa saw that and held her pen ti-ghter . “How dare she glare at him”
Her mind went to the meeting with the Kaz family that’s coming up tomorrow and she smiled
“I’ve watched films like this several times, even when the male lead hates the female lead, he’d have no choice but to d@t£ her once his parents are involved, I should get re-ady for engagement soon, Drew will soon be sli-pping an engagement ring into my pretty f!nger” she thought and smiled wi-dely
Eddy looked over at Bright, too bad she’s focused on the board, not looking sideways….her dedication to anything she puts her mind on is second to none
He felt a cute smile escape hisl-ips as he stared at her … Not until Olive tapped him
“Huh” he said, waking up from his daydream
” Focus on the board” she whispered and he faced the board
Olive looked at BB and sighed. “She’s pretty, even as a tomboy….she’s obviously cute” she thought, feeling inferior immediately.
The closing alarm sounded immediately after the last clas-s and BB gr@bb£d her bag
“Pizza deliveries, I have to go fast” she said
“Wait” Eddy said, carrying his bag and following her
“Olive I’ll see you tommorow bye!” He said hurriedly, leaving the clas-s
Olive sat back on her chair and inhaled softly. “It’s not funny anymore” she thought
