When I met you
Written by Princess Juliet
Episode 4
I stared in awe as Noami showed me the clas-s
“ is this a clas-s or a h0tel hall?”. I asked Noami
She looked at me and sm-irked
“ This is a clas-s”.she said smiling
We walked into the clas-s and I stared at the expensive chairs and tables
“ I bet it all cost a fortune”. I thought
“ you can sit here”. Noami said pointing to a seat beside her
I dusted my go-wn before sitting on the black leather chair
“ what did you just do?”. Noami asked
“ I dusted my go-wn before sitting”. I told her
“ isn’t it suppose to be the other way round?”. She asked
I just feel……….. I st©pped short when the same lady who almost hit me walked in
“ is she in taking the same clas-s with us”. I asked Noami
She nodded
I stared at the girl and she was really beautiful
“ if only I can be as beautiful as her”. I said aloud with knowing
“ what do you mean?”. Noami asked , you are also beautiful, she said
“ Thanks”. I said
“ I did not compliment you , I just told you the truth”. She said rolling her eyes
“who is she?”. I asked Noami
“ Her name is Tonia and she is the daughter to a prominent minister”.Noami replied
“ oh. I said nodding
.
.
The lecturer walked into the clas-s and I was surprised the clas-s was still noisy
The Lecturer continued teaching without minding the noise and I had difficulty hearing what she was saying
“ wont this noise ever st©p”.
“ Get out of the clas-s”. Tonia suddenly shouted at the Lecturer
“ why?”. The Lecturer asked sheepishly
“ The clas-s is boring”. Tonia said and most of the student laughed
“But……..
“ Get out or I will make Sure you are sacked”. She said and the Lecturer ran out in shame
“ what the hell just happen now?”. I asked Noami
“ The clas-s was really boring and she deserved it”. Noami replied nonchalantly
“ how will it not be boring when no one cared to listen to her”. I said
“ i don’t know”. Noami said shrugging her shoulders
“ They are all the same , spoilt rich br@ts “. I muttered
.
.
“Let’s go for lunch”. Noami whispered into my ears
“ sure”. I said , I was really starving
I stood up and we headed to the cafe
We got to the cafe and I was speechless
“ is this really a school or a h0tel”
I followed Noami to get some food and g@sped in shock when I heard the price
“ it was 10 times the normal price “
“ won’t you order for something?. Noami asked
“ I am okay”. I lied
She looked at me and laughed
“ The Bill is on me”. She said
“ really!. I exclaimed and she nodded
I immediately ordered for a plate of rice and chicken and went over to the table she was seated
“ I thought you were okay”. She tea-sed
“ it is just ttthat I”. I stammered
“ it is alright I un-derstand”.She said cutting me short
The whole cafe soon because noisy
“ What is happening?”. I asked Noami
She was lost staring at something, I followed the direction of her eyes and g@sped when I saw Damon standing at the entrance.
“ is he a demi god”. I thought within
He walked into the cafe with two guys and they sat down at the extreme edge
“ he is so cute”. Noami said with dreamy eyes
I noticed all ladies eyes were on him. I was not surprised, he was not only handsome, he was the heir to all Adams cooperation. The Adams were very wealthy and own lot of estates , properties including Adams college
“We can only admire him from far”. Alicia whispered
“ why?”. I asked also whispering
“ he is not someone you can mess with”, he is cold- hearted”, she tried explaining
“ oh! I exclaimed remembering the incident where he splashed water on me and did not even apologise
I kept on staring at him, he kept a straight face even when his friend were laughing loudly
“ is he always like this?”. I asked Noami
She nodded
“He is rich and still not happy while I am poor and also not happy
“ what exactly is the key to happiness”. I asked myself
Episode 5
“ is Damon always quiet”. I asked Noami as we walked towards the car park
“I have never seen him interact with anyone except his two friends”.she replied
“He is so proud”. I said
“ why won’t he be proud?, he is the heir to all Adams corporations “. She replied
“ oh”. I exclaimed
“ I will see you tomorrow”. She said waving at me as he got into her car and drove off
“ okay”. I waved back
.
.
I walked towards the bus station and was about boarding a bus when my phone rang. I checked the caller, it was Mr Parker
“ what does he want?”. I muttered
“ hello”. I greeted immediately I picked the call
“ come over to the place where we met last time “. he commanded completely ignoring my greetings
“ I can’t come now sir, I nee-d to…….
“ come over here now”. he yelled and ended the call
“ what the hell Is wrong with this man”
I flagged a taxi and got in
“ Adams h0tel plea-se”. I said as the taxi drove off
I alighted from the taxi and paid the fare with the last money on me.
I walked into the h0tel and gave the painted face receptionist a weak smile
“ He is waiting for you”.she said , or should I direct you again
“I know my way”. I replied
“ Guess he enjoyed you because he does not invite a girl twice”. She said grinning
“Damn you”. I cursed her as I climbe-d up the stairs
I pushed the door opened and met Parker on the be-d re-ading some do¢v-ments
He eyes lit up immediately he saw me
“ hello”. I greeted closing the door and leaning on it
“ Move closer baby”. he gestured at me smiling
I sighed and walked towards him
“ sit”. he instructed
“ what do you want?”. I asked him
“ I said you should sit down “. He commanded
“ fine”. I said and sat down on the be-d
“ I want you to be fully mine”. he blurted out
I looked at him and laughed
“ what is it?”. he asked, is it funny
“ yes it is”.i replied still laughing
“ how”. he asked
“ let me make something clear to you”. I said pointing at him ,all we had then was a deal, you promised to give me money for my sister treatment if I satisfy you which I did. so what is all this trash you are talking about?
“ you mean I said trash?”.he asked in surprised
“ yes”. I nodded
“ I paid your fees into Adams college”. he said
“ which you chose to do”. I said in defence,I thought it was a scholarsh!p, I never knew you would pay for it from your own purse
“ you think you are smart?”. he asked scoffing
“ how do you mean?”. I asked
“ I paid only a year fees”. he said smiling, because I suspected something like this will happen
I looked at him in surprise
“ do you know a year fees at Adams college can buy a building?”. he asked
“ how will I pay for the remaining years?”. I asked him
“ good, that is where I come in. If you become fully mine , I will take care of it and buy your family a home”. he boasted
I looked at the man in front of me and immediately hated his gut
“ are you in or not”. he asked
“ I am not interested”. I said standing up
“ what!!!”. he exclaimed in surprise
I sm-irked at him and was about to take my leave when he asked
“ how will you pay the fees for the remaining years”. He asked
I looked at him and smile
“ I will see to that”. I replied
“ you are a nothing but a proud bit-ch”. he cursed
I looked and him and smiled
“ thanks for everything”. I said and left the room
.
.
I climbe-d down the stairs with a heavy heart knowing I will st©p college after the first year
“ what will happen after that”. I thought, “ what will I tell my mother , how will I tell her that the scholarsh!pstuff was all a lie”
I kept on thinking till I bu-mped into someone
“ I am sorry” . I apologised and g@sped in shock when I met the gaze of Damon
“ I am rrreally sorry sir”. I stammered.
He stared at me and walked past me like i never existed
“ who does that?
“ what is he even doing here?”. I asked my self, “ oh, his family owns it
I checked my purse and there was no money in it
“ how will I get home?”. I whined and going back to ask Parker is not an option
“ I just have to walk home”……………
I got home very late in the evening, I was really exhausted
I was surprised to meet mum at home
“ where are you coming from sweating like this?”. She asked me
“ school”. I lied, I lost my bus fare so I had to walk
“ sorry baby”.she said , there is food in the kitchen
“ so you c@m£ home to cook?”. I asked her
She nodded
“ you couldn’t have done that, I can take care of myself”. I told her
“ you will always be my baby”. She said chuckling
“ Zara will be discharged on Sunday”. She said excitedly
“ really, I can’t wait for her to be back home “
“Don’t forget to lock the door properly before you sleep”. She instructed as she headed to the hospital………….
Damon POV
I went over to the h0tel to pick up a friend who was drun!k
he called and asked for my help and I had to drive him home
.
I got home and walked into the sitting room . I saw my dad ma-king out with one of his who-res
I ignored him and was about climbing the stairs when he called me
I turned to look at him
“ is that a way to behave to your father?”. He asked
“ how should i behave?”. I asked scoffing
“ you could have least greeted”. he said
“ greet”. I huffed , you could have thought about that before fv¢king your mistress in the sitting room”. I replied him
he looked at me and scoffed
“I do whatever i want in my house”. he said
“ and I do whatever I want also”. I replied back ,can’t you at least respect my late mother”. I asked him
“Your mother is dead Damon”. he said
“ you are just impossible “. I shook my head as I headed to my room
Episode 6
Damon PoV continuess
I got to my room and went to the bathroom to freshen up, I returned to the room when I was done and la-id on the be-d…
My phone suddenly rang , I checked the caller and scoffed
“ why won’t this girl st©p calling me”
I ban-g the call but she kept on calling so I picked it up
“ Tonia”. I called
“You left without seeing me today at school”. She whined
“ I had things to do”.I told her
“ can we see tomorrow?”. She asked
“ hopefully”. I said and ended the call
“ can’t she just let me be?
.
.
.
I headed down the stairs and met my dad eating dinner
I went over to the dinning and joined him
“ son”. he called
“ hi”. I gr-unted
A maid immediately c@m£ forward and served my food
“ how was school today?”. My dad asked trying to make a conversation
“ boring “. I drawled
“ you should try and have a little bit of fun”. He advised , your life is too boring
“ I am okay this way”. He said
“ are you still thinking about her?”. He suddenly asked
I remained quiet
“ you should try and forget about her”. he said
“ can we not talk about it”. I said
“ Damon you nee-d to move on and quit this nons-en-se of loving a dead person”.He advised
“ what do you know about love ?”. I yelled , don’t ever talk to me about love again”. I warned and stood up
“ where are you going to?”. He asked
“ to my room”. I replied
“ but you have not t©uçhed your food”. He said
“ I lost my appetite”
I walked into my room and pick a picture from the stool beside my be-d staring at beautiful lady in the picture
“Why did you have to go Bella?”I muttered crying
She was my first love , she died in an accident and I guess my heart also died with her
I heard a knock on the door
“ come in”. I said and f0rç£d a small smile when Miss Petra walked in .
“ Damon”.she called, she was the only maid who had the right to call me by my name . …
She consoled and held me when my mum died ten years ago and since then I treated her with respect
“ hi”. I huffed
“ I heard you arguing with your father”. She said
“I did not argue with him, he argued with me”. I corrected
“ what is the difference?”.she asked smiling
I remained quiet
Damon, you really have to move on”. She advised
“ Can I? I asked
She nodded
“Fine”.i said, can you plea-se leave now?
She nodded and soon left
I kept on staring at Bella picture till I fell asleep
I woke up the next morning and glanced at the time
“ fv¢k”.i cursed , I never knew I sle-pt this long
I walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth and to bath, I returned to the room after I was done with a towel around my w@!st .
I went over to the wardrobe and pu-ll-ed out new clothes, I never repeat cloth twice
I headed down the stairs and saw my dad laughing with a woman
“Morning Dad”. I gr-unted without sparing the woman a glance
“Son”. he called, how was your night?. he asked
“ I am off to school”. I told him ignoring his question
“ I want you to call at the company this morning and make a confirmation of the account”. he instructed
“ why must I always be the one doing that?”.I asked
“ because it belongs to you now”.he said
“ oh really , then let me handle it my way”.I said
“ I don’t fully trust Parker so you must monitor him”. he insisted
“ oh right”.i said with an eye roll
I headed straight to the office and as usual there were reporters around , they rushed to me immediately I stepped out of the car
“ Damon Adams is there any latest gist going on in the company”. a fat ugly reporter asked
I glared at her as the remaining kept on asking numerous questions
“ why can’t this gossips just leave”
.
I walked into the company and was greeted respectfully by the staff and was not surprised when I caught some female staff drooling
“ I scoffed and climbe-d up the stairs leading to Mr Parker office
I pushed the door to his office opened and met him flir-ting with a lady
“Damon”. he stood up immediately he saw me, I never knew you were coming
I stared at him and the lady and scoffed
“ can you plea-se wait for me outside”. He told the lady and I watched the lady as he walked out sheepishly
“ I am sorry about that Damon”. He apologised
“ it is none of my business “.I replied, you are truly a friend to my father
“ what do you mean by that?”. he asked
“ hand over the account book”. I commanded ignoring his questions
He reluctantly gave it to me
I scoffed as I went throu-gh it
“ I can explain Damon”. He tried to explain
“I warned you to fix the account the last time I c@m£ but you are still getting dee-per in debt”. I yelled
“ I am sorry”. he pleaded
“ you are still here because you are a friend to my father but the next time I come here and see the account like this you will be out of here”. I warned him
I turned to leave and soon st©pped
“ another thing, don’t bring your bit-ches to the office”
I walked out of the office and glanced at the ugly looking girl sitting outside the office
I got into my car and drove down to school, I was surprised to see a girl who alighted from a taxi walked into the gates of Adams college
“ I thought all student who goes here comes to school with their car”
I stared at her as I drove into the school compound trying to get a glimpse of her face but could not because she went throu-gh another direction
I stared at her from behind and I must admit she got killer shape
“ Damn, what am i thinking of
Nora PoV
I walked into the clas-s and over to a chair and sat down
Noami was not yet in school so I decided to bring out my book and study
“ hey”.Are you new here?”. Someone asked and when I looked up I met Tonia gaze
She tilted her head and stared at me
“ have we met before?”. She asked
“ Yes, I was the one you……….
“ oh , the beggar”.she said cutting me short
“ I am not a beggar”. I defended
“ how did you get here?”. She asked , did you fv¢k your way in
The whole clas-s turned to look at me and I felt embarras-sed
“ She is a beggar and a who-re”. Tonia announced to the whole clas-s
“ I am not a who-re”. I yelled crying
“ really, she asked moving closer to me. Avoid me the best way you can”. She warned
.
I bent my head on the table still sobbing when someone tapped me
“ Noami”. I called when I looked up
“ why are you crying?”. She asked
“ it is nothing”. I replied
“ did someone hurt you?”. She asked
I gave her a weak smile
“It is okay Nora”. She as-sured me
“ Go ahead to the cafe I will join you there”. Noami said
“ where are you going?”. I asked her
“ To the bathroom, I nee-d to change “. She replied
I nodded and headed to the cafe
I walked into the cafe and sat down on the seat closest to the entrance
I brou-ght out my phone and decided to pl@ya game when I saw Tonia walking towards me
“ what does she want again”. I muttered to myself
“ why are you seated on my seat?”. She asked
I was speechless. I never knew she had a personal table in the cafe
“ I am sorry”. I apologised and stood up
“ really, i thought I warned you never to cross path with me”. She asked scoffing
“ what have i done”. I asked her
“ how dare you talk back at me”. She asked and before i knew it she pushed me ha-rd
I rolled back expecting to see myself on the floor but was surprised when i felt a strong hand around me
I looked up and met the gaze of Damon ..

Damon”. I called When I met his gaze, i er em mean sir Damon”. I stammered , Thank you
He stared at me for a while and walk past me without saying anything
The whole student kept on whispering
I watched him and his friends moved over to a table
“ why did you do that?”. I asked Tonia
“I will do more than that if you cross my path again”. She warned
“ Nora”. Noami called walking toward me
She looked at the table and huffed
“ why haven’t you ordered anything?”. She asked
“ I was waiting for you”. I replied pla-ying with my hands
“ what is wrong?”. She asked looking around, why are those girls staring at you?
“ Tonia humiliated me again”. I said
“ what is wrong with that bit-ch ?”. Noami asked fuming ,don’t let that bother you
I nodded
let’s me go order something I am famished
“Okay”.i replied
“ what will you like to eat?”. She asked
“ snacks is fine”. I replied
…….
I looked at Damon and studied him
“ why is he so cold?
I kept on staring at him and g@sped in shock when he met my gaze
he stared at me for a while and looked away
Damon POv
I sat down in an empty clas-s with my two friends Mikel and Donald after lunch
“ Damon aren’t you going to clas-s?”. Mikel asked
“ No”.I replied and they both laughed
“ I thought you are the studious one”. Donald tea-sed
“ I am but the old man clas-s is too boring”. I replied
“ all clas-ses are boring to me”.Mikel said and I sm-irked
“ Did you noticed that girl got a big as-s” Donald said out of a sudden
“ what girl”. Mikel asked
“ The girl in the cafe today”. He replied grinning
“ you noticed it Damon right?”. Donald asked me
“No I didn’t”. I lied , you guys are really crazy
“Is she new here?”.Mikel asked facing me
“ how will I know”. I replied
“ because your family own it”. He said grinning
“ family”. I muttered, do I really have one
.
My mind drifted to the girl, she is the same girl I saw alighting from a taxi, Is she new here?. Why do her face look familiar? I guess I have seen her before, but where?”. I tilted my head trying to remember but i couldn’t..
“ guess she is no one important”.
Nora PoV
I was quiet all throu-gh in clas-s probably because of the way Tonia embarras-sed me
The Lecturer soon walked out of the clas-s and I sighed in relief, I can finally go home.
I walked beside Noami as we walked outside the building
“ bye Noami”. I waved at her as I headed to the bus station to board a car
I flagged down a car and was about to get in when the driver said
“ ma’am, your money first “
I looked at him and scoffed
“ what do you mean?”. I asked him
“ i was duped twice by beautiful ladies like you today”. he replied
“ I have my money”.I said and opened my bag to bring out my purse but could not find it but instead I saw a big tear
“What!!!. I exclaimed, how did my bag get torn
The driver gave me a glare and zoomed off
“My phone and my bag were in the purse, how will I get home?”. I muttered
I went back into the clas-s and searched everywhere but couldn’t find it
“ how the hell did my bag got torn? I will have to walk home , I had not option
I walked home sweating and feeling tired when a car st©pped in front of me
I moved closer to see who it was and g@sped in surprise when i saw Damon
“Get in”. he commanded
I got into the car still feeling surprised and he drove off
I stole glances at him
“ I could not believe the mighty Damon st©pped to pick me, I thought he was so cold-hearted “
“Where”. he asked
I looked at him in confusion and suddenly un-derstood when he was saying
“ Down crescent block”. I replied
He looked at me in surprise
“ were you planning on walking?”. he asked
I nodded
“why?”. He asked
“I j……….:
“ don’t bother”. he said cutting my short,it is none of my business
.
He soon got to crescent block and I told him to parked
“ is this where you stay?”. he asked looking at the surroundings
“ No em er yes”. I replied
“ really, you don’t know where you stay”. He scoffed
“ what is your name ?”. he suddenly asked
“ Nora”. I replied
“ Nora”.he muttered and nodded
I watched him as he drove off
“ did that just happened “………..
Damon POv
I drove my car heading for home when i saw the same lady walking home
“ is she doing an exercise or what”
I drove past her but st©pped when I saw the way she was walking, she was obviously tired……
I decided to help her out
“ Get in”. I commanded and saw the surprised look on her face as she got in
I was surprised when she told me she was going to crescent street
“ Was she planning on walking to crescent”. I thought within
I stared at the environment she was staying and when I asked her about it , she felt reluctant to answer
“ what is your name?”. I asked her
“ Nora”She replied
I nodded as I drove off heading home
I met my dad with a man in the sitting room when I walked in
“ son “. My dad called as soon as he saw me
“ Dad”. I gr-unted
“ you c@m£ at the right time”. He said grinning
I looked at him and the man and scoffed
“ what is it?”. I asked
“ I have sighed a Deal with my friend,he will invest in the company greatly if you can accept his proposal”. My dad explained
“ what kind of proposal?”. I asked
“ Marriage proposal between you and my daughter”.he replied grinning
“ who is your daughter?”, I asked scoffing
“ Tonia Tom”. He replied
“ really”. I asked scoffing, I am never going to be interested……..
