"She meant Bella not Ella. " said Trevor to the lady in front of us who was still staring at us. "You know kids.They get confused alot. " he continued. "She must have heard how they were trying to fish out one Ella Moore earlier so she.... You know? " he said trying to convince the lady while swinging his head from side to side the way he does. The lady nodded and turned around. "Hey little one. " he said addressing Jeken. "Aunty ell... I mean Bella's phone is down. The battery went dead. You can't play any game with it right now. " he told the little girl who nodded and left a little bit disappointed. I was beginning to sweat and God knows if Trevor didn't intervene, I don't know how I would have handled the situation. "May God save me from addressing you as Ella. " he whispered into my ears. "I am Bella Brown now. " I whispered back. "I hope I don't forget that. " he whispered to me again. "So you guys are whispering now. " screamed the elderly lady.
"Nothin
Who was that who could identify Trevor in such a strange land?
"Hey Lilly. " he screamed and ran to meet the strange lady. "Is that you? " he asked her holding her wrist and looking at her from head to toe. "What are you doing here? " she asked him. Meanwhile, I was standing by the corner watching Trevor exchange pleasantries with this dark skinned lady called Lilly. "Meet my friend. " he told her while pulling her closer to me. "She is.. " "Bella. " I said quickly before Trevor could forget and say Ella. "Hi. " said the lady while extending her hand to me. I shook her and said "Hello. " ", This is Lilly. " began Trevor. "We were course mates at the University. " he said. I smiled halfway and nodded. "Is she your girlfriend now? " asked Lilly. "No. " I quickly replied. "So what are you guys doing around here? " Lilly further asked. "We are on a luxury bus to GreenLand. It broke down few meters behind so we are here to grab something to eat. " Trevor told Lilly. "What are you doing here? " he asked her. "I live in this com
In as much as I wanted to Kiss him, I knew I had my dignity to protect. This is is a man I met on a luxury bus twelve hours ago. Also, I have been made to understand that he has his way around women therefore I shall not fall for this temptation else I'll be added to his edless list of rakish accomplishments. "Do it. " blurtred Trevor as if he just read my mind. We were still facing each other and I swear I was begining to burn from the inside with this sudden desire. "Do what? " I retorted. "Kiss me. " he said in a slow and erotic tune. "Never. " I replied then chuckled. He laughed and turned his head facing the bus and I did the same. "You are scared aren't you? " he asked. "No not really. " I said. "You are not just attractive enough. " I added. He laughed and said "I know the problem. One. Either you are a terrible kisser or two either you are being conscious. But I'll go for point two. " he said. "Whatever. " I said. "You don't want to kiss a man who had practically kisse
Hey! Look who is hugging me now. " said Trevor. I quickly broke off the embrace . "You know? " he continued. "Early this morning you wouldn't say hi to me now look how far we've gone. " he said and chuckled. "Hey don't feel so special. " I replied. "It doesn't mean that I'll beg you to take me along as you claim. " I added. "Let's get some sleep. It's past 3:am. We need all the sleep we can get. " he said. I nodded. Few minutes later, I heard Trevor saying to me. "You can't sleep can you? " "Uhmm am not feeling sleepy. " I lied. "Of course you are. Your eyes say so. " he retorted. "You are scared. You are scared you might get another nightmare aren't you? " he asked. "Probably. " I replied then coughed. 'Let's do this. I'll tell you about the scariest night of my life and you tell me about yours. " suggested Trevor. "Am not sure if I can do this. " I replied shaking my head in disapproval. "You can. I'll go first and don't you worry. You don't have to tell me about your scarie
"No. " replied Trevor. "What? " I asked in a low tune. "I want to grab you and kiss you so badly but I won't. " he said. I felt disappointed and said turning then turned my head around the other way. "Don't feel disappointed. " he said. I instantly felt stupid. 'How could I have begged a random guy to kiss me. Someone I barely know. ' I thought and cursed myself for being shameless. "Ugrh" I silently groaned in frustration. 'How can I be this stupid and so cheap. ' I thought. 'Damn what came over me? ' "Goodnight. " said Trevor then he fell asleep. I closed my eyes and curled up facing the other way in shame. I was just refused a kiss by a guy. 'Trevor must be thinking I've falling for him now. ' I thought. I closed my eyes in anger and was soon fast asleep. I was then tapped on my knee. "Wake up. Good morning. " Trevor said. I pressed my phone. It was quarter past 7:am. "Breakfast stand. " Trevor said pointing outside the window. The bus wasn't moving. "It's
I am glad everything is sorted and no life is lost except for Charles Wagman who is in the emergency unit. Trevor and I are okay and the fact that he didn't have any scratch makes me marvel. 'What a hell of a journey ' I immediately looked away while Trevor didn't shake. I began taking his hand out of mine so I could sit up properly. "You are awake? " he asked after I finally managed to disintegrate his hand from mine and sat wit my bed against the wall. "Yes am fully awake. " I replied with a half smile. He scratched his head with the edge of his nail and said"Hungry? " I nodded in approval. "Let me see what I can get around. " he said standing up. "They sell things around here? " I asked him. "There might be an eatery close by. I'll check with one of the nurses. " he said then left while I stared at him in admiration with a smile. Shortly after he left, Trevor returned with a plastic full of hamburgers and some fresh milk. "You sure do know how to pick
I looked to the left and saw Domn seating behind in a red limousinedriving away. As God will have it, a taxi immediately dropped some boys who were hurrying into the club. I jumped in right after the alighted and told the taxi driver to follow the lemo that just left taking a route I showed him. I have never been in a car chase before. Now this was no ordinary car chase but a life chase. I had a strong conviction that Domn and his guys got away with Trevor. "Ma'am that lemo seems not to stop any sooner. I might pull somewhere. I don't want to get into any trouble. " The taxi driver: a young man in his early twenties said to me. ""I'll pay you five thousand naira. " I declared even though I had no dime on. "Okay can you please tell me why we are trailing the lemo? " he asked. I was tensed and sweating all over yet this annoying driver won't shut up. "I just hope Trevor is okay. " I mumbled as Domn's limousine went further into the dark then stop
"So tell me. " began Domn. "This sudden fire... Girl I never saw it coming. " he declared lifting his right hand up. "You'll never see anything coming. " I told him. "I will change your life miss.. " he said. "Bella. " I quickly replied. He nodded. "I will take you to the ends of the earth, I'll crown you my queen and give you a life you never imagined. " he professed choking me as I inhale the disgusting stench emanating from his mouth. I quickly grabbed his hand from and neck and slightly pat it as he smiled. "Old fool. " I muttered. "Aren't you bothered? " I asked him while still patting his hands. It was probably 1:am and he had discharged his guards. "Maybe bothered about who I am, where I came from? or... " I was saying. "Oh come on. " he interrupted. "I don't care about any woman that comes my way. " he said. "Your family, your orientation not my business. As long as I like you and you satisfy below my abdomen. " he said smiling as disgustingly as ever. I nodded smiling
I kept panting heavily as the strange man drove me out of Domn's yard. It took me few minutes to realize I was in a strange cab with an unknown man. I began to shiver and look around scared that I might be caught up in another web of misfortune or rather still be kidnapped. The dark strange man noticed my discomfort and mumbled a "Hello! ". Who ever he was, I was certain he might be less aggressive compared to the touts I escaped from in Domn's house. Who could be this man and what was he doing at such an ungodly hour of the day? I thought and as if he read my mind, he spoke. "Trevor sent me. " he revealed. My mouth was wide opened at the mention of Trevor. "Trevor? " I asked. "Yes. " he replied with a nod. "But I thought that... As.. In.. We.. " I was stuttering in confussion. "Calm down senorita. " he said as we were approaching the city. At the mention of senorita, I was convinced it was Trevor who really sent him. Soon, he drove into t
