{CRÀZY ENCHANTMENT}
It’s a very notorious gambling house in Las Vegas. Jobless and lousy youths come there to gamble on a daily basis. The place was always full with crowd and today it’s also filled up.
Illegal activities associated with gambling also take place there.
Amongst all the crowd, Wanted and his crews could be spotted, each in a different table. They were obviously gambling.
“Last card.” Wanted smirked dropping a card and the opponent stared at him with a puzzled look on his face.
He looked back at the card in his hand and Wanted grinned widely, knowing fully well he was had already won.
He brushed his front hair, still smiling.
“You’re playing dirty.” The opponent blurted.
“Dirty?… C’mon, not my fault you suck at this.” He smirked.
“Rascal.” The opponent gritted.
“Tch… That won’t help. Lemme give you a clue to win.” Wanted winked.
“You have three card and I have only one card which simply means I’m definitely gonna win but you can stop me… By using one card which is there and it’s up to you to find it.” He told him.
“You’re telling me what I already know.”
“I know you already know that, but a quick reminder won’t hurt. As a game expert, you should know your opponent’s game… Use what you have to get what you want.” He winked.
“Now play.” Wanted patted him and the guy smirked looking at his card.
“Use what you have to get what you want… Hmm.” He mumbled before playing his card with a wry smile dancing on his lips.
“You’re trapped now.” He said confidently.
Wanted smirked.
“You sure?” He asked before playing his game to the guy’s surprise.
“What the heck!!” His eyes widened.
“Use what you have to get what you want.” Wanted whispered to him and the guy’s eyes widened, understanding what he meant.
“You fooled me!” He growled.
“I didn’t… You were just not smart enough.” Wanted smiled at him before taking all the money on the table.
“My money!!!!” The guy cried while Wanted blew him a kiss.
“Damn you!!”
“Who else wanna compete with me?” Wanted smirked, flaunting his money in the air.
“Whoa! It feels so good to always be the winner.” He grinned and began counting his money.
The gamblers glared at him hatefully. He keeps winning every single day.
They so much hate him for that. He was their bad luck.
Someone finally stepped out to challenge him.
“I’ll play against you.” The guy said and Wanted smiled mischievously.
“You sure?” He asked.
“I’m staking all my cash right here…” The guy said and dipped his hands in his pocket, then he brought out a huge cash.
“$55.” He said and Wanted eyes sparked with greed.
“I stake all my money.” He said immediately, presenting all the money he earned today from the gamble.
He was so confident that he was gonna win.
“Ready?”
“Ready.”
And they started playing the cards with other gamblers watching them curiously.
The game was getting tough as the guy seemed to be very good at it but Wanted was able to win him by surprise.
The guy’s eyes widened as Wanted played his checkup card.
“Whoa! Win-win!” He exclaimed and the guy frowned.
“You cheated!” He barked.
“Yeah I know, I’m always cheating.” He winked and began packing all the money on the table.
His phone suddenly dinged and he checked it. It was a message.
He countenance changed immediately he read the content of the message but he quickly covered it up with a smile.
“Let’s play again.” The guy proposed and he quickly declined.
“Some other time.” He said pocketing all the money and holding a bundle in his hand.
“Why? Afraid that I might win you these time?” The guy smirked.
“Even though you play gamble for a millennium, you will never be able to defeat me.” Wanted said with a proud smile and the guy fumed.
“Take a drink to celebrate my victory, bills on you.” He winked before walking out of the house.
Sienna, Reddy and Lex who were still in the house received a text at the same time and they checked it simultaneously.
Immediately they saw the content, they fled from the house, leaving their game halfway.
They met Wanted outside and the four of them began running out of the vicinity.
Just when they left, the blaring sounds of siren filled the air as the cops raided the premises.
“The cops!!! Run! Run!!”
People began running helter skelter around the place, screams filled the air as the whole place was now in chaos.
The cops entered the gambling house and arrested quite a number of law breakers.
°°°
The class came to an end and everyone began dispersing. Everly sat back in her seat, they weren’t having lecture till two hours time.
Marcus left already with Lewis. She didn’t have anywhere to go so she just sat back.
She opened her book and was about reading when she noticed a presence in her front so she slowly raised her head.
“Hi.” She said awkwardly, looking at the girl or should I say boy.
“Hello.” Daphne replied, she was a tomboy. She was dressed like a guy, wearing a big black hoodie that her small b**bs could hardly be seen and a baggy trousers.
Her black hair was short and bobbed.
Everly pressed her lips not knowing what to say next.
“Daphne.”
“Everly.” They introduced.
“I just wanna be your friend, you seem cool to me.” Daphne said after the short silence and Everly smiled warmly.
She made to reply when…
“Riffraff!” Someone yelled and they both looked up to see Butter walking towards them with Winter behind her…
Everly immediately recognized her to be the girl the students were cheering moments ago.
She turned back but saw no one and then she realized, she was actually referring to her.
The look on her face wasn’t friendly at all and it made her wonder if she was safe.
“You lowlife!” Butter began immediately she got to her with Winter standing beside her like she was some sort of bodyguard.
The attention of the little students in there was drawn to the farce.
“How dare you touch my Marcus?” She inquired, emphasizing the possession in her speech.
Everly gulped down nervously.
“I know your type of people, acting weak and innocent to steal someone’s partner but let me warn you, stay away from Marcus otherwise you will regret knowing Butter Denzel!” She threatened.
“And who is Butter Denzel that she will regret knowing?” Daphne chipped in.
“Stay away shapeless boy!” Butter warned.
“And what if I don’t, what will you do Margarine?” Daphne asked walking closer to her and Butter took a step even closer that the two were now a feet apart.
????️ Whoa!
????️ Butter and Daphne!
????️ My favorite enemies, sometime I wonder if this two had a beef from the past.
????️ Literally.
“You both will regret knowing me, you should know I’m not very nice.” She said coldly.
“Not scared at all… I see no evil, and I definitely don’t hear your evil.” Daphne smirked and Butter glared.
“Bítch!! Don’t step on my toes, you berra warn her to stay meters away from Marcus! He’s mine and only mine. He is never gonna leave me for a disgusting bítch like her!” She spatted jealously.
“Why are you feeling so insecure if he is truly yours?” Daphne inquired with a smirk.
“What are you insinuating?” Winter asked from behind.
“You should know Butter is the queen of beauty, Marcus will never ignore her and go for this ugly thing.” She spatted.
“Didn’t you wonder how come Marcus noticed this ugly thing?? Tch, mirrors can’t talk, lucky for you. Please when you look in the mirror, say hi to the clown you see in there for me, would you?” Daphne mocked.
“How dare you?” She made to slap her but Daphne caught her hand midway.
She twisted her hand behind sharply and Butter winced.
“Never, not even in a dream are you permitted to raise your hand on me bítch!” Daphne yelled before pushing her roughly and she landed on her butt.
“Ahh!”
Winter rushed to her immediately.
“And that’s where you should be, Margarine Denzel. On the ground, the same level as your IQ.”
“Let’s go Everly.” She returned her attention to Everly who was gaping in surprise.
“S- Sure.” She nodded and picked her things then they began leaving the class but Daphne stopped before Butter and bent to her level.
“I hate you!!!”
“It’s a mutual feeling baby.”
“Ahhh!!!!”
°°
Daphne and Everly came back to the class after they had lunch in the cafeteria. It was minutes close to the next lecture and not much students were in the class.
They found themselves an empty seat which they settled down.
“Do you have your psychology textbook with you here?” Everly asked.
“Yeah, why?”
“Please lend me.”
“Sure.” Daphne said and brought out her textbook, then she gave her.
“Thank you.” Everly said and began flipping through the book.
Daphne looked at her before returning her gaze to the front.
Just then a girl walked to the them.
“Hi, can I seat?” She asked and Daphne shrugged.
“Not like I own the seat.” She said and the girl chuckled before sitting in between the two.
“I’m Rissa.” She introduced.
“Everly.” Everly whose attention was now on them, said.
“I’m-”
“Daphne.” Rissa completed.
“Who doesn’t know you in this department? You’re the only tomboy here.” She added and Daphne rolled her eyes.
“Still, an introduction would have been better.” She said and Everly chuckled lightly.
“I love your vibes actually… This tomboy look.” Rissa winked and Everly eyes widened.
“Don’t tell me you’re a bisexual?” Daphne said and Rissa quickly shook her head negatively.
“C’mon, I’m just admiring you… Ugh!”
They kept on talking about by various things just to keep themselves busy while the clock ticked till the time for the next lecture.
The lecturer came in and the class kicked off with immediate effect.
°°°
“Coming.” Mr Wilson said, walking to the door. He opened the door and Wanted’s cocky face came into view.
“Hi… I’m your next door neighbor.” He winked and Mr Wilson mouthed an ‘O’.
“That’s cool… I never knew I had a neighbor actually.” He said and Wanted chuckled.
“It’s okay. I’m not always at home, that’s why… So, can I come in?” He asked and Mr Wilson quickly made way for him.
“Of course you should, come in.” He said and Wanted walked into the house.
It was just like his own it’s just that his own apartment was more spacious than theirs as he didn’t have much furnitures in it and their living room was filled with portraits hanging on every wall.
“Hmm.” He muttered as he began looking at the portraits hanging on the wall.
He took one of it in his hands, staring at it… It was a photo of Mr Wilson, Everly and Mrs Wilson.
He creased his brows looking at the photo. ‘Which amongst the two is the girl I saw yesterday?’ He thought but Mr Wilson voice jolted him.
“Make yourself comfortable…”
He saw the photo in Wanted’s hands and smiled. “That’s one of my favorite photo.” He said and Wanted nodded, mouthing an ‘O’.
“You have two daughters?” He asked and Mr Wilson shook his head negatively.
“Nah, that’s my wife and daughter.” He corrected and Wanted’s eyes widened.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
He couldn’t believe he mistook them for sisters.
“My daughter was just fifteen when we took that photo, she’s the one in the middle… And my wife, she was a young lady.” He said sadly and Wanted’s brows creased up.
“Was?? Does that mean-”
“Yes. My wife is late, she died of asthmatic attack.” He said sadly.
“Oh. I’m sorry for the lost.” Wanted muttered.
“It’s alright… It’s been long actually, four years ago.” He said and Wanted nodded.
“Oh…”
“Yeah, I’m fine now yunno-” He stopped when he perceived the smell of a burning food.
“The pasta!!!” He screamed before rushing to the kitchen and Wanted chuckled.
“A character.” He muttered and hung the picture back on the wall.
“Hmm, definitely not my type of girl. I hate girls on lens.” He muttered, squeezing his face in disgust.
He made to leave when his eyes caught with the necklace on the table close to where he stood. He was about ignoring it but his eyes sparked at something.
Gold!!
His eyes shone with greed and he quickly and stylish took the necklace on the table, inserting it in his pants pocket.
He smiled immediately as if nothing happened, then he went to the dining room.
“Sir, is the food done yet?!” He asked loudly.
°°
FEW MINUTES LATER…
“Wow, tasty.” Wanted said as he ate the food in delight.
“I’m glad you love it.” Me Wilson said.
“Of course I do, this is the first time I’m seeing a man who can cook something this delicious, even I don’t know how to boil water.” He said, rushing the food.
Gosh, he was so happy he got a neighbor, now he could eat good food not those junks he usually consumes very day.
He didn’t know to cook and he keeps eating junks so whenever he gets a neighbor, he makes sure he gets close to them just so he could always get food.
“Cooking is my passion actually.”
“Wow, that’s cool, you-”
“Dad, I’m back!” Everly’s elated voice interrupted his speech.
“Oh my daughter is back, Ever!” Mr Wilson called and just then Everly got to the the dining.
He stood from his seat and Everly rushed to his embrace.
“I wished you so much dad.” She whined and Wanted almost rolled his eyes.
“I missed you too my child, so how was your first day at Three D?” He inquired and she sighed before sitting on a chair, that was when she noticed Wanted who was seated in the dinning table.
She furrowed her brows, looking at her dad and he smiled understanding the look.
“He’s our next door neighbor, his name is-” He paused when Wanted’s fork involuntarily fell from his hand.
Was she the girl he thought not his type?? He thought as he stared as he stared at her side face but as a result of the sound of the fallen fork, she thought to face him and…
He felt his heart skip a bit and it started beating a party drum in his chest as he stared at her. It looked at as if time stood still and it was just the two of them with him giving her that lovely stare and Everly returning it with a confused look.
She wasn’t wearing her lens right now and she looked beautiful without it, her big eyes very visible. Her hair was packed in a messy ponytail. Her smooth face, her small nose and thin pink lips which looked enticing that he felt like kissing them…
Gosh! The heck was he thinking. He immediately cautioned himself inwardly.
She looked innocent and pure, and those kind of girls weren’t his type. He can’t be admiring her but the TF!
She’s pretty.
“Helloooo!!!!” Mr Wilson said banging his hands on the table and that brought Wanted back to his senses.
“Yes sir!”
“Where on earth did you zoned out to?! I’ve been screaming since, I don’t even know your name- wait!, Is that saliva?” He asked pointing at his jaw and Wanted quickly trailed his hands there and he gasped immediately.
He looked at Everly who was looking at him innocently and back at Mr Wilson.
“Wait, don’t tell me you were drooling on my daughter.” Mr Wilson raised a brow.
“No no, that’s wrong… Why will I drool for her?, Not like she’s not my type.” He scoffed and Everly’s eyes widened.
Did he just insult her by calling her not his type??
“Well actually, you see this food is kinda peppery so I had to form saliva with my mouth to reduce the hotness, I didn’t know it was already spitting out.” He effortlessly lied and Mr Wilson nodded slowly.
“Errmm sir, where’s the toilet here? I’m actually very press and going to my house will be a long distance.” He said and Mr Wilson nodded.
“That’s not a problem. Just go upstair, the fifth door by your left, that’s the bathroom… Go ease yourself.” He said and Wanted shook his head.
“I’m very bad at locating places even when I am given direction, if you don’t mind, you can let your daughter take me there.” Everly quickly raised her head immediately she heard him.
“Why me?!”
“Because it’s you I want,,, I mean I can’t disturb your dad with that… Please.” He begged and Everly rolled her eyes.
“C’mon Everly, just show him the bathroom… That’s all.” Her dad interfered and she unwillingly nodded.
“This way.” She said and they began climbing the short stairs, to the toilet.
Immediately they got upstairs and out of her dad’s sight, Wanted grabbed Everly’s wrist sharply and in a swift motion, he turned her to face him, her back almost touching the wall.
“What the heck?!” She yelled.
“Tell what kinda spell have you cast on me this afternoon, coz I fell enchanted to you.” He said suddenly, smiling like a fool, taking a step closer while she took a step backwards till her back finally met the wall.
“Have you hypnotized me?” He asked and she gulped down nervously, then he slowly began leaning closer.
“Wh-hat are you doing?” She stuttered, her heart began beating abnormally.
