ISAAC'S PLACE*

"Sure! You?" She asked.

"I'll see you" he replied, but then he noticed her eyeballs are somehow yellow.

Before he could comment on it, Roonie finally came down with Emory.

Roonie's lower lip has a small cut ... They probably kissed too much up there.

"Will come for you at 1" he told her when they got to the base of the stairs.

"Ok" she smiled, and he hugged her, kissing her ears fondly, making her chuckle.

"Bye" she waved, finally going to her parents.

"You have to gist me about everything!" Sybil dragged her out immediately.

Tate followed them, and Mr. Wilson gave Roonie an unfriendly look before leaving too.

"It's been long since we had such a full house, thanks to you Banks" Rook said.

Roonie inserted his hands into his pockets.

"About Richard... He's a total genuis like you might have heard. The one year he worked at the casino is still the richest year of Master X till now. His brain is always at alert" Hazzan said.

"Why are you telling me?" Roonie asked.

"So you can know who you're dealing with. If you don't move faster, Banks. Richard is crazier than you think" Hazzan said meaningfully.

Roonie gritted his jaws.

"Isn't there a meet up for the club tonight? Are we gonna discuss it? I can't wait to catch that bastard" Rook said.

Roonie went back upstairs, and Rook followed.

ISAAC'S PLACE*

Waking up to a delicious aroma has never been an occurrence in the house, not even when Teal was still his friend.

When Isaac woke up to the sweet smell of pork and chilli, he almost screamed, but then he remembered they're two in the house.

He quickly got down from bed and threw on a shirt before rushing out of the the room, only to meet Hyce in the small living room, packing some breakfast in the food warmer.

He actually spent the night here.

"You... cooked?" Isaac asked surprisingly.

"Just a little something" Hyce replied, and Isaac has this surprised look in his eyes as he checked out the dishes.

"You didn't have to...but thank you, I'll enjoy it" he smiled, and Hyce pulled his cheek, making him blush.

"Cutie... I'll bring some to your mother at the hospital" he said.

"No I'll go with you" Issac quickly said.

"No need, just take your time and dresss up. We meet in campus" Hyce winked, and Isaac blinked as he placed the food warmer in a bag which he carried.

He suddenly pulled Isaac closer by the arm, then he raised his hand to his chin, holding it up so their faces are only inches apart.

Isaac closed his eyes, and Hyce smirked before kissing the side of his mouth like a tease.

Isaac opened his eyes immediately.

"Be a good boy" Hyce stroked his hair, and Isaac couldn't blink as he walked out of the house.

Immediately he left, Isaac fell on the couch, holding his face...

"Damn" he muttered.

WILSON'S MANSION*

Since Pearl can't enter the kitchen cos of her trigger, Tate had to bring the needed utensils out to the balcony, including the cooking gas.

After teaching her how to make pasta for about two hours, she left the balcony for her, so Pearl started the cooking on her own.

Sybil is with her though, adding commentaries and stealing from the crayfish everytime.

"Maybe Banks is not that bad" she suddenly said.

"Who said he's bad before?" Pearl replied, adding seasoning to the sauce on fire.

"He's a total bad boy... He doesn't talk much but his short sentences always hits different... He's tall and sèxy, and he's handsome as fûck! Oh he has kissable lips too, and he's the leader of a frat club who can kill for you without blinking. I want one too!" Sybil held her chest dramatically, and Pearl laughed at her silliness.

"But is Rook cool?" Sybil suddenly asked.

"He changed magically, so yeah. What? Are you into him?" Pearl faced her.

"No! No it's just... nothing" Sybil shrugged, and Pearl tickled her.

"Stop!" Sybil ran far from her.

Pearl turned off the gas eventually, then she went upstairs to pick out a dress for the date.

Sybil immediately received a call from Teal, and she picked with a large smile.

"Hey Teal!!!" She jovially said.

"We haven't talked for days, it's unfair" Teal accused.

"You know about Pearl's incident... I had to stay and soothe her, but thankfully she's back now, and she's currently preparing for a picnic date with Banks. You need to see the way she's so happy about it" Sybil tattled.

"Date? Didn't you say he said something to hurt her and they're fighting?" Teal's voice went lower.

"That's bygone... they're back stronger and I'm so happy for them" Sybil gushed, and Teal hung up immediately.

"What was that?" Sybil muttered, blowing it off before going upstairs to meet Pearl.

She gasped when she got to her room and saw what she's wearing.

A backless knitted top that has it's ropes tied to the back, and an elastic shorts highlighting her waist, hips and @ss.

"Damn hot! You're wearing this?" Sybil gasped.

"I'll wear a long jacket on top, then I can take it off when we arrive at the location" Pearl replied.

"Perfect!" Sybil gave her a thumbs up.
