Reyna sighted Dylan a few feet away from her. She sighed and started walking in the opposite direction. It was quite safe to say things had gone pretty much south between them both since she had turned him down. Not that they stopped talking completely, but then, communication between them had reduced drastically. They barely even greeted each other, as it now seemed more of something done only when it was clearly inevitable. She had been walking for about three minutes when she felt a small light tap on her shoulder.She spun around in shock and her eyes narrowed in obvious confusion, when her eyes landed on the figure in front of her. "Dylan?" She mouthed in a tone that was a mix of surprise and curiosity. "Hi, Reyna." He said quietly. His hands were shove in the pocket of his Italian trousers. The air swept the smell of him into her nostrils. She breathed out softly in relief and looked up at him, awaiting him to say something. "I'm sorry I scared you." He apologized,
Reyna threw herself at Niko and hugged him so tight as the Judge declared his verdict and dismissed the court. "Congratulations, babe." Reyna said esctatically as they held each other."Congratulations to us, sweetheart." Niko corrected, pulling her even closer and planting a kiss right by the side of her ear. "I love you, Reyna." He muttered into her ear, biting it playfully. "I love you back, Niko. So much." She said, pecking his right cheek affectionately.They lost track of their environment and didn't know they had been holding each other for a long time, not until Joe approached them. Joe cleared his throat, smiling as they slowly disentangled."Congratulations, man." He hugged him, patting him on the back."Thanks, Joe. I wouldn't have been able to do all of this by myself if not for you and Lucas, by my side." " You're welcome." Joe replied.Just then, Lucas approached the trio with a wide smile. "Congratulations, big Niko." He said as they shook hands and drew in
Niko arrived without Joe and Lucas about an hour after he had given his speech. "Where are they?" Reyna asked after they had exchanged greetings and he had fresher up and changed into something casual. "They're over at Lucas's." He replied her as they made their way to the rooftop.They settled into a recliner each, bed each other. They didn't say nothing for a long while. They just sat there in the full glare of the moon, with the dark night sky an be them, while they just held hands as they fed their eyes with the beauty that was the sky. They looked at each other from time to time, just staring deep into each other's eyes. "Whatchu thinking about?" Niko asked, his thumb grazing the back of her palm in sweet gentle motions. He had fully shifted his gaze off of the sky now and focused on her. She was still staring at the sky though. She lingered a few minutes, as if waiting for the question to sink in before she responded. "I don't know." She started. "Was j
"Reyna, hurry up, else you're gonna be late for your exams." Jeremy warned. Reyna sighed and pamed her hand against her forehead in frustration for the umpteenth time. Jeremy had been up since 6am to wake her up for an examination she wasn't gonna be having until 11am. It was just 8:30am and she was right about done, but he was so anxious and wouldn't keep quiet. "Reyna..." "I'm done! Coming!" Reyna yelled back, shuffling her feet into her sneakers.She made her way down the flight of stairs with Niko right behind her. "Alan's here?" She asked, her face suddenly lighted up."Alan?" Niko asked, passing her a cup of tea that she downed down hurriedly."Yeah, I can smell him." She confirmed, looking around the house for him.She had been searching for minutes without success. "But he's here.' she kept saying to herself. " I can smell his cologne." She said as she pried open the last door and didn't find him. "It must just be a coincidence." Niko said. "We should probably
Reyna and Larissa talked happily as Reyna waited for Niko and Larissa for Lucas. "I'm just so glad we're finally done with exams." Reyna bursted out. " I mean... it's been one hell of a ride." She said to Larissa." Yeahhh...it has. And now, it's finally over. We kicked 'em asses hard." She said and they both laughed. " Hey, ladies!" A voice called and they turned to look who it was. They saw Dylan walk towards them, all smiles. "Hey, Dyl!" Larissa greeted first."Hi, Larissa. How do you do?" He asked hugging her shortly." How do you do? I'm great by the way." Larissa answered." I'm doing not bad myself." He answered. " Thanks."He turned to Reyna who also hugged him. "Thanks for being my project partner, Dylan. I really couldn't have wished for any better." She said honestly. " Now, you're gonna make me cry." Dylan said, wiping at his tearless face, while Larissa and Reyna laughed at his attempt at humour. "Well, thank you. I really appreciate that." He said, ge
Finally, the long awaited final exams was over and the school rustled and bustled with excited students. Lucas and Niko had already agreed to take the girls out after their final exams, the girls needs to let off some steam afterall. “Hey baby.” Niko called to Reyna as he and Lucas got out of the car. “Hey. You’re here.” Reyna said, excited she gave Niko a warm hug and he gave her a forehead kiss. “Yes, indeed. I am.” He said. “Hi, Larissa.” Niko greeted Larissa Who was holding her books shyly and she said her hi back while walking towards Lucas. “You love birds need to pack it in and lets go.” Lucas called and Niko and Reyna laughed at the comment. “Go? Where are we going?” Reyna asked surprised. “Well. I and Lucas already decided we were going to take you guys out today after the final exams, we were so sure you girls aced the same and so we need to celebrate.” He explained and Reyna only opened her mouth but couldn’t find the right word. “Okay. I like that.”
2 “Goodness, I am so full.” Reyna laughed, rubbing her belly. “I can’t believe we left Lucas and Larissa there alone.” She added. “Why? They’re adults, they need some alone time just as much as we do, Hence the reason we’re going home for a night of Netflix and chill.” Niko said seductively, raising both eyebrows. “Hmm. Really?” Reyna said equally trying to be seductive too. “We could start the “chilling” here too.” She added, rubbing her palm on his thigh. “No. I love my life, Reyna. Let me live. Not here.” Niko immediately protested and they both laughed. Getting home Niko drove into the building, packed the car properly and both of them got out laughing. They got inside the house to see Jeremy packing his bags, Reyna and Niko looked at each other in confusion, although there was no reason for it. “Oh, you guys are back.” Jeremy said, zipping one of the bags he had packed already. “Yes, we are.” Niko said. “What’s going on?” He added and raised one of his eyebrows in
“Thank you.” Jeremy said excited about Reyna agreeing to come see him sometimes and just then Niko made his way back to where he’d left Reyna and Jeremy. Jeremy’s guard came in almost at the same time too to get Jeremy’s stuff. “Careful with that bag, take that first and you can come in for the other.” He told his guard who immediately heeded to the instruction. “I also want to have a word with you, Niko.” Jeremy said as Niko was about to seat, Niko stood back up immediately. “Oh No. Seat, please.” Jeremy said while also having his seat back too. “I’ll leave you both, I need a shower anyway.” Reyna said, standing up and heading into the room. “Okay.” Niko said. “Take care dear.” Jeremy said to her because he knew he might not get the opportunity to see her before he leaves, she seemed tired and had yawned before leaving and he wouldn’t want to disturb her by asking her to wait behind. “So, Niko. I just wanted to say I’m sorry.” Jeremy started and Niko looked sur
