Catalina was Storm's childhood friend and ex-girlfriend. She and Roseline were sworn enemies because of Storm.
"What are you doing in Leon anyways? I didn't expect you to be the one from the crown princess's family to be present. How long are you going to be in Leon?"Catalina inquired with a sparkle in her sea-blue eyes.
"Why does it matter to you? "Storm replied to her back with a question.
Catalina gulped and laughed awkwardly, "we are friends I just wanted to know so I can treat you to dinner or something..."
"Right..." Storm uttered listlessly, "what are you doing here anyway?"he repeated her question without answering her suggestion of dinner.
Catalina forced a loud laughter, "com'on Storm how could you forget that my father is a member of the royal family? I even leave here and work for the king, "she blabbed with pride.
Rising to her feet, Catalina waved her index finger at Storm's face teasingly, "don't go anywhere, I will be right back, "she said and walked away swaying her hips that were articulated by the tight wine-colored long armless gown she was wearing.
She turned her head slightly and winked at Storm who was looking at her back and not her buttocks as she hoped he would.
The royal family was yet to arrive so the podium was a bit noisy. It was shared into four divisions with four thrones lined up in the middle. Storm was seated at the left side that was closer to the thrones and it had fewer seats. The whole stadium was graciously decorated with fire touches and red flowers.
Seconds after Catalina left, Storm saw her returning with an older woman who had sun-kissed skin and blue eyes. His already bad mood turned worst, 'she had to bring her mother, didn't she.'
The woman smiled and hastened her footsteps to get to Storm's front, "my little spitfire is now a man, "She rang with a bell-like voice.
"Hello aunty, "Storm greeted.
The woman lifted her hand to touch Storm's face but stopped When she saw the disapproving look in his eyes. Smiling awkwardly, she lowered her hand and took his hand instead, "Stormy you are so handsome now, how is your mother?" she asked showing her familiarity.
"It's Storm, not Stormy, " " and my mother is alive and well, "Storm told with an expressionless face.
The woman laughed falsely as her daughter made herself comfortable beside Storm. As she was about to speak again, an announcement was made that the royals had arrived, "we will talk later dear, "The woman said with a smile and walked away, man was she glad to leave his sight.
Catalina leaned towards Storm with her lips close to his ears and whispered seductively, "call me tonight and I will show you a good time, "she forced a folded paper in his hand before leaving his side.
As if he had been waiting patiently for her to leave, a tall man smiled at Storm before seating where Catalina sat. Storm gave a slight nod before frowning down at the paper in his hand, he wished he could see a trash can.

"Hi, sister, "Bash greeted Panda with a wave.
"Hi, "she responded flatly.
Bash clicked his tongue and took away her phone thereby earning a reaction from her, "do you want to die?"Panda rang as she tried to grab her phone from Bash who was a foot taller.
"I know you are mad at me because I broke the promise I made but sis don't blame me, "Bash said with a pouty face although he was still hiding the phone behind his back.
Panda huffed and crossed her arms, "easy for you to say, "she knew Bash would eventually return her phone so she decided to spend her energy on scolding him instead, "you acted like a child, you went back to drugs just because a man called you a faggot?" "Am so pieced right now."
Bash's eyes felt wet, Panda was his only family and he had broken a lot of promises but the one he promised never to break again was the drug one. "Pando am sorry, I-I" He stuttered, he dropped her phone on the desk and grabbed both her hands, "I know I messed up and allowed my emotions to cloud my judge ... I will be better , I promise you."
Panda opened her mouth to protest but Bash's index finger stopped her, "shhhh I know I make too many promises but hopefully this one will stick, "he said and hugged her.
Panda dabbed his back and pulled away, sitting she said excitedly, "so let's go see your car!"
Bash scuffed the back of his head as he sat, "it got taken after Storm himself took me to bed and tucked me in..." he explained.
Panda's eyes popped, "no– freaking– way!!! Bitch you are saying that the crush tucked you in?????? gurllll...."She smiled mischievously.
Bash rolled his eyes, Panda loves such gossip but it's not he was not also dying to tell her. Rubbing his knees he said, "he even replied to my I*******m message..."
"Bitch huh? What!! This is great news!"Panda squealed.
Bash's face dropped, "I wish it was but he only did that to warn me never to DM him again, "he muttered and looked heaven wards, "imagine the embarrassment."
"Awwwwwwh sis, "Panda hugged Bash, "don't give up on him at least he replied you, soon you'll be in his bed, "she assured and winked.
Bash chuckled, "don't worry he is my real addiction, I will never give up on our love."
Panda stabbed her finger at Bash as she warns with a glare, "hon't push him too much take it slow so it can last long. "
Before Bash could speak a male hugged Panda from behind and kissed her neck, "angelfish why are you frowning? "Bailey her boyfriend implored.
"Cherry don't mind me, "Panda told him.
The sturdy boy came around and sat on the bench, Panda rose and sat on his laps then wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing his lips she complained, "love, you slept off last night without saying goodnight."
Bailey snuggled her waist and he sucked panda's lower lip, "am sorry I was exhausted from all the work of yesterday, "he explained.
Panda frowned and broke the kiss, stroking his hair, she said with a pleaded tone, "babe why didn't say so? I would have let you sleep. Don't do that next time okay?"
Bash rotated his eyes at the couple's public display of affection, "okay love birds keep oppressing me with your love, "he said jealously.
They all attended the best schools but he kept the real source of his wealth a secret from them. “You know, I used to love Omar but after all the abuse he put me through I turned my love for him to hate, “Tobi confessed.Bash was greatly touched by Tobi’s story, he judged him too quick. “So why don’t you leave? Haven’t you made enough?” He asked.Tobi chuckled bitterly. “It is never enough, moreover Omar will never let me leave until I can’t move my bones.”As they were talking Tobi’s phone rang . The name on the screen was Omar. He looked at Bash who was instantly scared and patted his shoulder. “Don’t worry, I have got this.” He calmly answered the call, “hello baby, missing me already?”(“Where is Bash?”) Omar asked.(“Yes, Tobi, where are you hiding my boy?”) Storm added.Bash gasped but quickly held his mouth as Tobi gave him a reprimanding glare.“How am I supposed to know where your whore is? He is not my type so you can rest assure that he is not in my bed, “Tobi said.(“List
Bash looked away in shame thinking that Tobi wants to mock him. Tobi stood up and dragged Bash up as well. “Come, it is not safe for you here.” “Whaa—” Bash couldn’t complain as Tobi dragged him away. He led Bash to a part of the resort that he had never seen before . He opened a door and let Bash in the room then locked it behind them. Bash looked around, the room had red lights a bed and too many BDSM equipments for him to count. His heart skipped a beat in dread. He looked Tobi. “Why did you bring me here? Did Storm send you?” He asked with a shaky voice. Tobi rolled his eyes. “Calm down princess, I might be bad but I am not that awful to lead you back to your assaulter.” Bash looked around again. “So where are we?” Tobi came to his side and copied him to look round the room. “We are in Omar’s red room where he does the nastiest things to me and other people.” Before Bash could ask more questions Tobi continued, “I brought you here because it is the
Crying, he typed all his pain but hesitated to send it to Panda then he remembered they promised to be there for each other no matter what so he sent it. But before he laid down his complaints he wrote a lengthy apology for Panda unfortunately it was not enough. Panda read the message and refused to reply. Bash sent a bunch of voice notes apologizing all of which Panda listened to but she refused to respond.Bash’s despair rose. He threw his legs out bed and dragged himself to the closet particularly to the bag he kept his art tools. He always carried them along because he knew he would find his environment art worthy. He clumsily set the stand with his tears blurring his view. Rather than draw something inspired by the environment he painted something that looked like him, a sad dog crying blood.That was what he felt like, he didn’t feel human anymore not with how Storm treated him. He worked on other literal pieces until he exhausted his boards, when he was done it was already eve
”Hmmm.” Storm hummed mirthlessly. He put down the cup in his hold and looked around, his eyes met that of the servers standing by. He signaled them to leave then he looked at Bash. He held up his chin and pecked his lips.“I am horny can you help?” He asked staring in Bash’s eyes.Bash blinked. He looked around but failed to notice that the servants were missing. “I will help you when we return to our room, “he whispered. “No, I want it here, “Storm said.Bash’s eyes popped, he quickly looked around again, they were in a garden! Anyone could see them! If he didn’t love Storm so much he would have called him an Idiot man.“We can’t do it here, it is a public place, “he tried to convince the man.Storm hissed. He forcefully grabbed one of Bash’s hands and placed it on his hardon. “You feel that? That is what happens when your lover passes out on you after one round of sex.”“It wasn’t my fault, “Bash argued weakly. “I was tired and feeling jetlagged.”He couldn’t continue after the fi
“I and your man fucked around a few times, “he confessed. Bash froze, he gaped as if it would help him forget what he just heard. “Yeah , we fucked a lot but then Storm didn’t know I was sent by Omar, their gang of business vultures bet Omar couldn’t make Storm share anyone so Omar used me, to be honest I didn’t really like Storm he is such an arrogant bastard but the sex was great, “he taunted Bash.Bash’s tensed shoulders dropped but he didn’t turn to Tobi neither did he reply, he just walked out with Tobi’s laughter escorting him. He returned to his room in a fowl mood, he paced from one end of the room to the other as he waited for Storm but the man was a no show. He eventually got tired and sat on the bed and soon enough , he succumbed to tiredness.Storm returned an hour after Bash slept. He took a quick shower before he came to bed only in his boxer. He immediately began to touch Bash lewdly. Even in his sleep state, Bash’s body still reacted to Storm’s every touch like a ca
He dressed up in a simple oversized t-shirt and baggy grey joggers which gave the illusion that he was a little bigger than his size. Storm wore a short sleeve print shirt tucked in a fitting black trousers. The twosome left their room looking like a newlywed couple, one simple and cute, the other cold and mysterious.The couple were led to a tropical open space dinning place. Storm and Bash sat side by side. The table was decorated with assorted foods and fruits, the servants were dressed traditionally. There were fire torches lit everywhere.Bash looked around in amazement, he felt like he was in heaven especially with Storm by his side it was indeed a dream come true. He turned to Storm and hugged him. “Thank you so much zaddy!”“Omar, I was wondering if you would come at all, “Storm said monotonously.Bash broke the hug confused by Storm’s reply, he followed the man’s gaze and found two men standing side by side.“Is this your new plaything?” The man asked with a loop sided grin
