💖 The Loverboys💖
(Kim)
Episode 15

Kimberly’s Pov:
My name is Kimberly Percival and in the only precious child of my loving parents.
Just so you know, I’m a queen.
I’m the prettiest, the most popular, the h0ttest, the riche-st and the leader of the lovergirls. I’m the best.
I always have things done my way and whoever opposes me can go to hell.
Everyone adores me – even the lovergirls. Although, I have just one best friend. And that’s Eva.
I walked into my mum’s room, putting on a shower go-wn.
But when I got into the room, she didn’t seem to be in.
“Mum?” I called but didn’t get any response.
Then I moved closer to the table and there I found some scattered papers on it.
I took one of the papers and had a look at it and expectedly, it was a profile of a woman – Anna Darius.
Mum has been secretly looking for this woman for years and I have no idea whom she is.
she’s been hiring secret agents to search for her and she hasn’t even told dad and I about it.
She doesn’t want us to know.
But who could this woman be? And why is mum secretly looking for her?
I heard a knob turning and I quic-kly returned the paper to the table and turned away.
Immediately, the door opened and mum c@m£ out of the bathroom.
“Kim” she called as she moved her hair backwards.
Then, she looked at the papers on the table.
Immediately,she c@m£ over and took the papers, fixing them in her bag.
“Do you nee-d something?” She asked while Zi-pping her bag and I stuttered a little.
“I…I just wanted to know if you’ve pu-ll-ed the call throu-gh to Diego.” I replied and she sat on her make up table
“Yes, dear. And he wants you to s£nd the files by weekend so he can work it out…”
She applied a red l!pgloss to herl-ips and then a dark mascara and I watched her.
She was a pretty young woman and people always say I took after her.
We have the same bushy brows, big pretty eyes and moderatel-ips.
“Do you nee-d something else?” She asked when she was done talking and I shook my head.
I felt like asking her about the woman she was looking for but felt she might not want to talk about it since she’s kept it a secret from us.
“I’ll be outside” I said and pe-cked her cheeks and left afterwards.
I went outside to the pool and there I met four of the lovergirls sitting un-der the shade.
“Hey, Kim” they called and waved at me but I didn’t even look at them as I just took off the go-wn I was putting on and dived into the pool.
I swam de-ep into the water and c@m£ out, taking a de-ep breath.
I stayed with my legs in the water for a short time and after that, I c@m£ out of the pool and joined my friends in the shade.
I was just putting on a red p@n-t and br@.
“Wats up Kim?” Eva asked with a cigarette in her mouth as I took a seat.
“You look pale, Kim. Is everything okay?” Joyce asked but I didn’t say a word as I just collected a cigarette and lighter from Eva and lit it.
Then I started smoking.
“By the way, Kim; Stanley told me he has a crush on you” Alina said and the rest of them chuckled.
“Wow! Seriously? You mean Stanley from Beatz?” Caroline asked.
“Well, it’s not surprising. Every guy has a crush on Kim” Eva said.
“Not every guy, Eva. My Tony doesn’t have a crush on her” Joyce said and they laughed.
“Oh! So now he’s your Tony? I thought you were planning to ditch him?” Alina asked.
“Well…maybe. still working on it”
“But why do you want to dump him, Joyce? I mean, he’s handsome, rich…”
“He’s too boring in be-d” she cut in and they roared with laughter.
“Oh, my God, Joyce. You’re ma-king me get goosebu-mps. What do you mean he’s boring in be-d?” Eva asked with laughter.
“Well, if he’s boring, why don’t you tutor him?” Alina asked.
“What? I’ve got no time for that, plea-se. Although he’s charming and sweet, just that he’s weak when it comes to se-x.” Joyce replied and they laughed again.
“ha-rd luck, Joyce. Well, my Derrick’s such a darling” Caroline said.
“Whenever we’re in be-d, he rides me to heaven. He’s perfect…”
They went on chatting and laughing, but it didn’t really interest me because my mind was occu-pied.
I kept thinking about the woman mum’s been looking for for years and why she kept it a secret.
“Kim, are you sure you’re okay?” Eva broke into my thoughts after a while and I sighed and smoked from my cigarette.
“I’m fine” I replied casualty, bringing out smoke from my nostrils.
“Hetty still hasn’t called in” Joyce said.
“It seems she really wants a division.
“What? She hasn’t called?” Caroline asked surprised.
“Yes. And Mia and Lea are with her.”
Hetty, Mia and Lea were the three remaining lovergirls and they were trying to make a rebellion against because they think I’m being unfair to the band by always taking the lead role in our duets.
Well, to me, I think they’re just being jealous.
“Wow! It seems she really wants to create a division and I can’t believe she was able to get Mia and Lea’s support” Alina said.
“Well, she can go to hell for all I care. And if she isn’t careful, I’m gonna have her signed out sooner than she expects” I replied and rolled my eyes and they chuckled.
“By the way, Kim, what do you think about the new trainees?” Eva asked and I cli-cked my ton-gue.
“Well…They all seem boring to me. But let’s see how the training goes” I replied and smoked from my cigarette.
“But I think that Jeanne has a nice voice” Caroline said and I made an irritated face.
“What stupid voice? She sounds ugly” I said churlishly.
“Come on, Kim. Just spill out the reason you don’t like her. Isn’t because she’s the only female worker in the Loverboys mansion?” Caroline asked and I rolled my eyes.
“Wait; you mean she’s one of the trainees?” Alina asked.
She wasn’t there with us.
“Yes, Alina. And you nee-ded to had seen the way Kim treated her when she c@m£ to her as a loyal fan” Joyce replied with a smile.
“Oh, my gee! I really missed out. So she’s one of the trainees?”
“Yes. But I really felt bad for her . She had just come to tell her she loved her and her songs. But Kim had treated her like a piece of garbage.”
“Awwn, Kim; that was harsh” Alina said and sniggered.
“Kim is scared she might take her Alex away from her” Eva said and looked at me and I scoffed.
“Is Kim still dreaming on Alex? He ha-rd ly even talks to her” Caroline said and I snapped.
“Shut up, Caro! Very soon, he’s going to be mine. I’m still working on it” I replied and rolled my eyes and she chuckled.
“But…If you and Alex ever get to be together, aren’t you scared of the fact that the two girlfriends he’s had in the past four years ended up dead?” Joyce asked.
“Well, I don’t give a damn. My case will be different.
Besides, it’s possible what happened to those girls was just a coincidence. And it’s possible they probably died because I’m the right one for him.” I replied and they laughed lightly.
“By the way,” I continued.
“I’m thinking of ma-king arrangements for dinner and a sleepover at the Loverboys mansion. What do you think?”
I smiled and win-ked at them as their eyes dilated in disbelieve.

Episode 16

Jeanne’s Pov:
I returned home with Molly and after showering and eating, we stayed together in the sitting room and watched a movie.
But I wasn’t really interested in the movie as I just focused on the book.
Mrs Tristan was out and the loverboys were yet to return.
But not long after, I heard the sounds of cars driving in and went to check it out and expectedly, it was the loverboys.
I turned away from the window and sighed.
I felt so scared seeing Alex. I don’t think I’m re-ady to face them.
I quic-kly left the sitting room and went into the kitchen and there I found Alex busy as a bee.
“Hey” be called as he sh0t me a stare and quic-kly took his eyes back to what he was doing.
“Hi. Good evening” I replied and took a look around.
About three different burners were in and pots and frying pans were on them with contents inside.
“The loverboys are back, aren’t they?” He asked as he poured some carrots into the frying pan.
“I totally lost track of time. Now I don’t know what to do. Who’s meal will I make first? Sir Malcolm’s hash browns? Sir Daniel’s poached eggs? Sir Alex’s coffee? Sir Carl’s…gosh! I’m foxed” he said with a flurried look and I smiled and drew closer.
A mug and tin of cocoa was on the table and he went to them.
“Let me help you out with the coffee” I told him as I took the spoon from him.
“Oh, dear. Thanks a lot” he said happily and returned to the pots and frying pans.
I opened the cocoa and poured some quantity into the mug and adding other ingredients, I started ma-king the coffee my own way.
“Don’t you have an as-sistance?” I asked as we both acted busy.
“I actually had two. But they lost jobs three days before he got here” he replied and I flin-ched.
“Really? What happened?” I asked curiously.
‘Well, one of them had mistakenly spilled a drink on sir Alex’s expensive white dress just when he was about leaving for a show. So, he fired him.
“And the other had made sir Daniel’s meal a little too salty and as a result, sir Daniel had to throw up. So he got fired as well”.
“Wow!” I said, surprised.
“So you’re just the only one left right? Aren’t you scared you might be next?”
“What? Hell no. I’ve been with them for a long time now and I’m alre-ady aware of their likes and dislikes. So I’m sure they won’t be an error” he replied.
“Wow! You sound so sure.
Uhm…how long have you been working here? Were you during the time of Theo?” I asked and he cli-cked his ton-gue.
“Nah. I only got hired about three years ago. I didn’t get to meet Theo” he replied and I nodded.
Too bad.
Soon, I was done with the coffee and I left it and helped him out in dicing some onions.
“Could you help me deliver the coffee to Sir Alex plea-se?” He asked and I wi-de-ned my eyes.
“What? Are you kidding me? Do you want me dead?” I asked and he laughed.
“What makes you think so? Sir Alex isn’t all that grumpy” he said and I rolled my eyes.
“Well, I guess that’s because you’re probably a guy: I said.
“So what do you think of the loverboys?” He asked after a little pause.
“Well, they’re okay- especially Carl. He seems very friendly. And Malcolm- we haven’t really spoken much though.
But that Daniel, it seems he doesn’t like me” I said and he chuckled.
“Trust me, Jen. That was what I also thought the first time I arrived. He’s just a bad tempered guy and yes, he’s pompous. But in time, when he gets to know you, he’ll change and become friendly. He just doesn’t like to as-sociate with strangers at first sight” he said and I shrugged.
“I hope so”.
“I’d better deliver this coffee to Sir Alex before it gets cold. Just help me keep the g@s on a low heat and keep stiring” he told me as took the cu-p of coffee in a tray and left.
I continued stiring the contents in the pots and after a short while, he returned.
Then he turned all the contents from the different pots into separate plates and arranged them in trays.
“Could you help me with one of the trays, Jeanne? plea-se?” He said in an appealing tone and I scoffed.
“I…I…can’t…”
“Come on Jeanne. I really nee-d your help. It’ll be fas-ter plea-se?” He said and I scoffed and shook my head.
How can he ask me to do such a thing? I’ve been running away from the loverboys and now, he’s trying to get me back to them.
Hell no.
“Fine. Since you said Carl’s friendly, you can take his tray. At least, you can be sure he won’t bite” he said and took two of the trays and left the kitchen, leaving me stuck there.
I sighed and looked at the tray. Do I really have to go there?
But I didn’t want to face them.
I dallied a little and finally took the tray, going out of the kitchen.
I walked slowly and nervously and when I got to the sitting room, I met them all there – the four loverboys.
Alex was operating his phone with the coffee beside him.
Daniel was smoking. Carl and Malcolm weren’t doing anything in p@rticular. They were probably interested in the movie pla-ying on the TV screen.
Evans was there as well, arranging their meals.
I gulped nervously and walked in, standing in front of the loverboys.
“G…Good evening, sirs” I greeted with a bow. .
“Good evening, Jen.”; Malcolm was the first to reply.
“Good evening dear. I guess that’s for me?” Carl replied and asked and I nodded and placed the tray in front of him.
“Good evening” Daniel said simply and my eyes beamed.
Wow! He did reply me.
I looked at Alex and his eyes were still fixed on his phone. He didn’t even bother to look at me, not to mention replying to my greeting.
I kept the tray properly on a stool in front of Carl and just then, Molly c@m£ in.
“Nanny, could you help me out with my as-signment, plea-se?” She asked and I nodded and we went to the dining to Sit.
The dining was behind the sitting room and sitting on it, I could have a side view of the loverboys.
“I’ll be nee-ding some more cream cheese, Evans” Malcolm said and Evans left the sitting room.
I opened Molly’s textbooks and started directing her on the as-signment.
“Have you seen Mira’s new dance video?” Carl asked and I looked at them.
“Yeah. That lady’s such a str!pper. I can’t believe she was almost dancing nak*d. And her video’s actually pu-lling the highest likes online” Malcolm replied with a scoff and Carl laughed.
“Be careful how you talk about her, Malcolm. You know she’s Alex’s ex” Carl said and Daniel pouted hisl-ips.
“You’re insane, Carl. She was never my girlfriend in the first place” he said.
“Come on, Daniel. She often spends most weekends with you and you’ve sle-pt with her uncountable times”.
“Well, having S-x with her doesn’t make her my girlfriend. I never asked her out. She just cheaply and stupidly kept giving her b©dy to me”.?
“But, you shouldn’t had broken her heart by k!ss!ngher best friend in front of her”.
“Well, I just wanted her to know she wasn’t my girlfriend. I’ve got no time for love and commitment, guys. So, any girl who gives her heart to me is only pla-ying a dangerous game. I’d just fu*k and go”
“Woah, Daniel. That’s harsh. But, trust me, when you find true love, it’s definitely going to change you”.
“True love. Does that even exist?”
“He’s talking as if he has one” Malcolm said.
“Don’t worry, Malcolm. I plan on taking a girlfriend this week and when I do, I’m gonna make sure we have an agreement that she wouldn’t be the only as-s I’ll be fu*cking” Carl replied and they roared with laughter.
“You’re crazy, Carl. Then what’s there to signify she’s your girlfriend?” Daniel said and he shrugged.
I smiled and looked at Alex and his eyes were still buried in his phone.
He hadn’t said a word and didn’t even react to a thing the boys were saying.
He was so cold and I wondered if he’s ever smiled or laughed in his life before.
“by the way, guys.” Daniel said.
“Kim called me earlier on and told me they’d be coming over for dinner tomorrow”.
“You mean the lovergirls?” Malcolm asked.
“Yeah.”
Whaaaat?
The lovergirls will be coming here for dinner tomorrow? So, I’m…I’m gonna see Kim again?
Oh, my role model!
But she had been rude to me today at the studio. How am I going to face her?
“Kim is such a pretty lady” Carl said.
“And I’m surprised she still doesn’t have a b©yfri£nd”.
“Take your eyes off her, Carl. She’s Alex’s crush” Daniel said and my eyes dimmed.
Alex’s crush?
“Hmmm. I’m still waiting for that special day when Alex’s gonna have a girlfriend again.” Malcolm said.
“Alex has always been a master in the game. He’s just on a break for now” Carl said and they laughed.
But Alex didn’t even blink.
Hmmm.
so Alex was really a flir-t? But now he doesn’t even want to t©uçh a lady.
I wonder what happened.
Not long after, Ambrose – his dog – c@m£ walking down the stairs.
He wasn’t running; he just sauntered and looked kind of weak.
He got to where Alex was and Alex carried him up in his arms.
“Is Ambrose sick?” Daniel asked.
“Yes.. maybe I’ll get a veteranian to check him out tomorrow” Alex replied and tried giving him some of his coffee, but he wouldn’t take it.
Then he drank from it.
Just then, Evans c@m£ in with more foods in trays and served them to the loverboys.
“By the way, Evans” Alex suddenly said.
“I love the new taste of my coffee. But, it tastes different from yours. Was it really prepared by you?”
My eyes dilated immediately.
“Actually, sir Alex” Evans called happily with a smile and glanced at me and I felt my breath seizing.
My mouth opened in shock.
Oh, God!
Is he going to tell him I made the coffe?
No, no, no.
This is not happening.
Alex has warned me never to t©uçh what’s his and if he finds out I made the coffee he just drank, he’s definitely going to kill me.
Oh, Jesus!
“Actually, sir Alex” he continued.
“The coffee was made by…”
Oh, God!
I’m dead!
