Das’s mansion**
“Mum!!” Melissa shouted in tears as she entered the house, she took off her sneakers and fling it around, not minding where it’ll land
The maids picked them up immediately as she entered the big white living room where Jillian is sitting, watching a show
“Princess” she said shockingly when she saw tears in her eyes
“What’s happening?, Why are you crying?” She asked worriedly, bringing her to sit on the couch while she bent In front of her
“I got sl@pped in school” she cried
“What!, And who the hell has the guts to sl@p the great daughter of Das Malcolm” Jillian said
” I dunno, she was wearing a mask, she just c@mĀ£ into the cafeteria suddenly and pu-ll-ed my hair then sl@pped me, she made me kneel and apologize mum” she cried
” Apologize to who?”
” That dirty Eddy and Olive, I’m hurt mum” she cried like a kid and Jillian hvgged her
” Whoever it is, she’d have to pay for it I promise, I’m visiting that school tommorow” Jillian said and Das c@mĀ£ in immediately, looking angry
*Honey you c@mĀ£ back early” Jillian said, standing up
” Dad” Melissa said, rushing to give him a hvg
” I nee-d to rest” he said slowly
“Das are you ok?, Did the son of that worthless late wife of yours make you sad again?” Jillian said and Das’s eyes turned more angry
*What did you just say” he demanded
” I was just saying…. she’s…
“Shut up!, Don’t you ever!, Don’t you ever call her worthless, hear that?” He said
” Das….
“Else you’ll have yourself to blame” he said and pushed Melissa from himself then rushed upstairs
Not like he married Jillian out of love, it was a loveless marriage, he did it to have someone with him in the house
“Mum….dad hates me ” Melissa said and Jillian hvgged her .
“He doesn’t, he’s just in a sad mood right now…. caused by the so-called Austin” she said
” I’ll have to go visit him in his office tommorow then, he’ll have to pay for ma-king dad angry” Melissa replied

Sunshine highschool**
The school is just closing and students can be seen pouring out of the school, chatting loudly
BB waited in front of the school, looking everywhere for Eddy, everyone stared at her as they pas-sed
“Do I look like a lion?, Why the unnecessary stares” she muttered to herself and started glaring at everyone who stares, they started looking away and she sm-irked
Luckily she has finished her exams the other time before causing trouble in the cafeteria and luckily the securities lost sight of her, she’s a good runner and thanks to the mask she was wearing, she wasn’t recognized..
She di-pped her hands in her p@n-ts pocket when she saw Eddy coming with Olive, Olive is trying to hold his hand as they walked beside each other but maybe she’s not confident enough so her hand kept hovering around Eddy’s, BB smiled immediately
“Love is a bastard….. she’s obviously into him” she giggled
” Bright!” Eddy said immediately he sighted him
” Baby boy” she replied with a thin smile as they got to her
Eddy tĀ©uƧhed her hair and she sl@pped his hand away
“I’m not a girl like that” she rolled eyes and Eddy smiled
“Hey” Olive waved
“Hey lover girl” BB smiled
“Lover girl?” Olive said
“You un-derstand” BB win-ked
” I don’t” Olive replied and BB shrugged
“Thanks for the other time,but you’re crazy” Eddy said
“I know….I must do everything possible to save this baby boy right here” she replied and stro-ked Eddy’s hair
” Silly girl” Eddy laughed
” How was the questions?” Olive asked
“The examiners are surely elementary school kids…I mean, the questions are too cheap, anyone from the seventh century can solve them” she replied and Eddy laughed
” Then Should we get re-ady for you on Monday?” Olive said
” Obviously ” BB replied and Eddy held her hand
” Let’s go” he said but BB broke free
“Hold Olive’s instead…baby Teddy” she said and Eddy’s eyes wi-de-ned
“How did you know my full name is Teddy” he said and BB giggled
” You behave like a baby” she said
” I hate the name, it sounds babyish that’s why I shortened it to Eddy and now that you know, can you continue calling me Eddy?” Eddy said
” Teddy…baby Teddy” BB win-ked
” StĀ©p” Eddy said
” Baby Teddy baby Teddy baby… Teddy!” BB said loudly
“I’ll just kill you” he said and went after her, she ran and he chased her
Olive watched with mixed feelings, wishing she’s the one getting chased by Eddy
“You think you can catch up with me?, Big lie, I’m a fast runner” BB said as she ran
” Then stĀ©p calling me Teddy” he replied behind her
“Since that’s what your parents named you, then I’mma continue calling you that…. Teddy” she replied and he stĀ©pped chasing her
” It’s useless talking to you” he said and she stĀ©pped too, they stood , glaring at each other till Olive appeared
“Let’s go” Eddy said, taking her hand, BB followed behind and noticed how happy Olive is for the fact that Eddy held her
“I’ll continue saying love is a bastard, darn that thing” she muttered
They board the bus and Olive got down at her stĀ©p after waving at them
They got down in front of the coffee cafe
“You aren’t going back to the pizza shop?” Eddy asked
“No, Mister Rick said I can take all today off” she replied with a wi-nk
” Oh” he said and they entered the cafe together
” This place is fvĀ¢king big… whoa!” She said, looking around
” Eddy is here” Sunny said as Nikita took off her duty uniform and cap
“Kita!” BB shouted
“Hey be silent” Eddy whispered and she rolled eyes at him
“Shut up or I’mma kick you and sĀ£nd you flying to…..
” San Francisco” Eddy said, finishing it for her
“fvĀ¢k you” she muttered and Eddy smiled
“BB?” Nikita said
” Yeah it’s me” she replied when she got to her
Nikita hvgged her and she hvgged her back reluctantly
“I hate hvgs but I’ll make an exception for you” she said and Nikita smiled before re-leasing her
” How was your exams?” She asked
“The simplest exam I’ve ever written” she replied
” I knew it…. can’t wait for you to go back to school” Nikita said, handing the duty uniform to Sunny
” Eddy you nee-d to talk to Kita” Sunny said
“About what?” Eddy asked
” Someone offered for her to work as a coffee brewer in his office, he offered to triple her salary but she refused”
” What!, Triple?” Eddy and BB chorused
” How much is her salary here monthly?” BB asked
“150 dollars” Sunny replied
” That’ll be fvĀ¢king 450, why the hell did you reject that!” BB screamed
” Hey stĀ©p shouting… now sis, why?” Eddy said
“I’ve gotten used to this place, it’ll be ha-rd to adjust to another place” Nikita replied
” But you’re smart, I’m sure within three days you’ll get used to wherever it is* Sunny said
“Still…” Nikita said
“She’s stubborn but you have to do everything possible to make her give in, the money will go a long way in helping you guys” Sunny said
” She’ll go, leave it to me” BB said
” Yeah, she’ll do it” Eddy said
” Sunny I’ll see you tommorow” Nikita waved as she left with Eddy and BB.

Special Ones Studios**
“The shoot is in twenty minutes time but Melissa is not around yet” one of the models said
” She’s arrogant and so full of herself, I guess she’d want everyone to be here before she comes, then start feeling like a queen, that bit-ch* another one said
The tĀ©p five most popular teen models were actually chosĀ£n for the shoot,…. FACE OF MKAY FASHION, the biggest fashion institute in Texas
Kayla Fabio entered the studio, looking all elegant and pretty, the two other models greeted her respectfully and she smiled, hvgging them one by one
Melissa Malcolm is the second most popular but Kayla Fabio is the most popular….tĀ©p one…. She’s same age as Melissa but she’s kind and respectful, she’s too pretty and the fact that she’s more popular than Melissa makes Melissa boil anytime she’s close
“Melissa is not here yet?” Kayla asked
“That br@t?, She’s not here yet”
“And who did you just address as br@t” Melissa said, entering the studio with her manager behind her
“Well I’m just saying the truth” the girl replied
“Gemma I’ve always told you to stay away from me but you choose to always step on my toes, what if I sl@p you right now, what are you gonna do” Melissa said and Gemma sm-irked
” Sl@p me first then you’ll know what I can do” she said
Melissa raised her hand to sl@p Gemma but Kayla held her hand and she looked at Kayla hatefully
“How dare you hold my hand!” she barked, taking he hand from her
“Everyone knows you in the modelling industry cos of your rude arrogance, till when are you gonna keep this up” Kayla said
” Are you jealous cos I’m richer?” Melissa said and Kayla laughed
” Babe you mostly boast of your parents money…but all I’ve made all my life, all I have to boast of is my money, I make my money, anything else to say?” Kayla said and Melissa glared at her while Kayla just smiled
“Drew Kaz is here!” One of the directors said and they all straightened up to witness his entry
Among the five selected teen models, Drew is the only male….the third most popular when it comes to Unise-x selection but in the male category, he’s the first…he’s h0t!, Just like a demigod
He hates mingling with girls so how he agreed to be the only male model for this shoot is surprising
He c@mĀ£ in stylishly, taking every step with caution and every of the girls started adjusting themselves,,
Melissa slid a large piece of her hair behind her ear and smiled at him but he’s not even looking at her, he’s not looking at anyone, he remained neutral till he went in and they all followed
They went to their personal changing rooms and got changed, it took over an hour each for the girls to make up and everything
They all c@mĀ£ out looking pretty and just tempting, all wearing white short Se-xy stra-pless go-wns and different expensive heels, Drew is putting on a white suit too, looking too dashing
“He looks like one groom in the midst of four brides” one the directors said
š„ He’s too cute and the girls are too pretty, MKAY really choose the best” another one said
š„ Yeah…but Kayla looks outstanding among the girls, if only I had a son”
š„ You can’t deny the fact that Melissa looks h0t too
š„ I’m not denying but anytime I wanna agree with that fact, all I see is her arrogance
š„ Ok let’s start this shoot
Drew sat on a white chair, Kayla sat on his right side while Melissa sat on his left side
Gemma and the other model stood behind the chair on both sides
“Melissa…. Kayla, try to hold Drew’s shoulders” the main director said
They held his both shoulders but Melissa held his arm too, Drew gave her an unfriendly look and frowned
“Take your hand off my arm” he glared
“Why?” She replied
“Damn, she’s pissing me off, director plea-se change her position or I’ll have to leave” Drew complained
” Ok ” one of them replied and Melissa was made to stand behind him while Gemma c@mĀ£ to take her place
“I can’t do this…. how can Gemma take my place” Melissa said
*Melissa calm down, the comfortability of the only male should be considered, he’s not comfortable with you beside him so….” one of the directors said
” And I said no!, I’ll sĀ£nd the cash back to MKAY FASHION, I’m outta here , fvĀ¢k you all!” She yelled and left the studio furiously…

9pm**
Austen stĀ©pped his car in front of the coffee cafe and rushed in, hoping he’ll still meet Nikita in
He sle-pt off in his office earlier and he’s even glad he did, not like he’s gonna sleep at night anyways
He c@mĀ£ across Sunny who’s just preparing to get off work
“Hey miss, is Nikita still here?” He asked
“No, sir, she left since 6” she replied
“$h!t!” He said
“You haven’t changed your mind about the offer right?” Sunny asked
” No….can I get her contact… plea-se” he said
” Sure” Sunny replied and gave him
” Thanks….
“Sunny, it’s Sunny” she smiled
“Thanks Sunny” he replied and left quic-kly, driving all the way to Nikita’s house
He just has to see her before going to be-d tonight, he has to….if not, ap@rt from not being able to sleep, she’ll occu-py his head
He stĀ©pped the car in front of the house and c@mĀ£ out of it before dialling her line, leaning on the car
*****
“Sleepyheads” Nikita said when she s-en-sed the house is silent alre-ady
Eddy and BB has been pla-ying around since they finished eating dinner but it seems they’re asleep alre-ady
“Eddy you nee-d to go sleep inside” she said but it seems he’s alre-ady fast asleep
” Bright” She called but she’s not answering either, she’s also fast asleep
“I don’t blame them, they pla-yed rou-gh” she said and made to tap one of them but her phone rang
“Incoming call from a new number, incoming call from a new number”
She tapped twice and picked
” Nikita?” The familiar voice said
” Who’s this?” She asked
” It’s Austen, Austen Malcolm, the mocha guy” he replied
” Oh… Mr Austen?, Where did you get my line from?” She replied
” Sunny gave me” he said
” Oh… why did you call?” She asked
” I’m outside your house right now, can you come out for a minute?” He replied
” Come out?, It’s late alre-ady, this is past 9 and besides, why?” She replied
” Actually I….. just want to see you” he said
“Why?” She asked
“I just want to” he replied
” I can’t come out…I’m sorry” she replied
” Then I guess I’ll have to stay out here till daybreak” he said
She hung up and tapped Eddy, get woke up and yawned lightly
” Kita?, You aren’t asleep?” He said, standing up
“You nee-d to go sleep inside” she said
” BB will have to manage slee-ping on the table tonight” he said
” No, the be-d is big enough for the three of us” Nikita said, tapping BB
She woke up and stood sleepily
“Is breakfast re-ady?” She asked sleepily and Eddy laughed
” She’s still not awake yet, just sleep talking” he said and guided her in while Nikita followed behind
Eddy and BB sle-pt off within minutes while Nikita just l@ydown, staring up and thinking about what Austen said earlier
“Will he really wait?, Ion think so, why will he even tell me to come out?, Is he a per-vert like Eddy said?, I feel like he’s clean but…..”
She sighed and changed position, it’s a cold night so she’s wearing big thick sweaters and jogger p@n-ts
“Will he really wait?, He sounds sincere” she thought, sitting up
Then an heavy wind blew first and it started raining instantly
“Oh no….is he really out?” She thought, getting down from the be-d
Luckily she knows where Eddy keeps the umbrella, she went there and searched for it with her hands, she found it and quic-kly took it then made her way out.
*****
Austen stayed in the rain, waiting for when she’ll come, he’s still full of hope that she’ll come, that’s why he’s not hiding from the rain
The rain drenched him and he shivered when he got to a point, shaking badly as flu got the best of him
He kept looking at the house, not re-ady to leave if he doesn’t catch a glimpse of her at least
He leaned on the car as he shivered more, his teeth clattering on each other
He looked at his phone again, thankfully it’s waterproof…he made to dial her line again but the front door of the house opened and he stĀ©pped
Nikita c@mĀ£ out with an umbrella over her head and stood in front of the house, not wanting to move forward so she won’t fall
“Mr Austen” she called gently
He smiled when he saw her, hearing her tiny voice again feels too good, she’s obviously worried and even the small umbrella looks cute in her hands as she stood
“Mr Austen” she called again and he started taking fast steps to her, she heard his footsteps so she turned to the direction she’s hearing it from and pointed her hand forward
He got to her and pu-ll-ed her closer by that hand, without thinking twice, he hvgged her to himself ti-ghtly….
“Mr Austen” she whispered
