Navaeh's POV"Hey, Get in there. Quick." I said and pushed Jake into the opened elevator. He raised a brow and I turned around to immediately close the elevator. I went to hide behind Jake so his taller and broader build would cover me and the elevator closed right when Amelia looked into it.I breathed a huge sigh of relief before I realized I had to explain to someone. I turned my head to Jake who was already giving me a 'What just happened?' look."What?" I asked with a grin and faced the elevator that was counting downwards. It stopped at the Fourth floor and people swarmed into it.Jake immediately pulled me to himself as a man rushed into the elevator so it would not close on him and then he would have to wait for the next one. That or he took the stairs.I looked up at Jake to see him already looking down at me. I grinned and clutched my phone in my hand.What's wrong with me? Why is my heart beating erratically.A phone rang and everyone looked around like they didn't know t

What the heck did I just say?! Brain, that's what you'll later result in?! Why did you do this to me?"What?" We all said.Even I said it. I just said something stupid and embarrassing. I could feel Quinnel's eye boring into the side of my head but I didn't have the courage to turn my head to look at him.I just couldn't find it.He then chuckled and I heard him say something to the waitress. She laughed and I raised a brow. Why was she laughing?Quinnel draped his arm lazily over my shoulders before he pulled me to him. I looked at his arm that was radiating warmth into my neck before looking up at him."Yeah, two apple juice." He said his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. My eyes lingered on his Adam apple before I moved my eyes away just when he was about to turn his head.I felt warmth spread through my whole body. I didn't know which one caused the warmth. His arm around my neck or my flushed body from the embarrassment I would have felt if had been caught checking out a boy's Ad

"Good Morning guys!""Good Morning Sir!""Trust you all had a pleasant night rest?"Even I didn't talk. I just want to go back to sleep! Ugh!"Lazy as always." He muttered lowly but I heard him clearly since I was standing in the front and close to him.I slipped my hands into my hoodie pocket just when the elevator dinged as all eyes turned to it and it slid open to reveal two hot guys who knew they were hot and showed it off gladly."Ah! Ashford and Hemple! I was starting to think you won't join us for breakfast." Coach said and I rolled my eyes not even bothering to look over to them again."Of course not, Coach." Zaire replied and I smiled a little bit.I looked up to see Quinnel was busy looking for someone in the crowd. I looked away before he found out someone was looking at him and then he would look to me!"Since you're both here, let's go for breakfast." He said again and Ashley tugged at my arm right when he turned around.Calm down girl, are you really that hungry? I follo

Jake didn't say anything and only huffed before he went to sit down on Quinnel's former seat. Then our food was brought over and we ate peacefully. "Okay, since we're all full... Let's get on to today's business." Coach yelled once we were all gathered back in the lobby. "What's today's business coach?" I asked and he smiled at me before he grinned rubbing his hand together. "We're going to tour the city!" "Wooo!" "Yeah!" "Yay!" "Well then. Let's not waste any more time shall we? Let's go!" Immediately, he said everyone filed out of the lobby in happiness. We went into the bus and it only stopped about 30 minutes later. I was feeling warm by the sun that was peeking out behind the clouds as I walked out of the bus. "Don't you think it's warm?" Ashley asked giggling and I giggled in return. Why do I keep sounding like a fangirl?! "It is. Very warm I think I might be blushing." Quinnel said suddenly and a frown automatically pulled itself onto my face. I turned my head to

"I wonder where we're going next," Ashley said with a huff and her hand went to her waist to stand akimbo."Me too! It's so far," I replied with the same voice."Bear with it. I think I have an idea of where we're going," Jake said and we both turned our head to him."So are we near or still far?!" I asked with a glare and he moved back a little before he gulped and pointed his hand."There," He said simply and I looked at where he was pointing to see the head of the Statue of Liberty with the torch in her hand."Woah!""You do know where we are going!" I yelled happily as I jangled his arm to and fro and he simply grinned with a wink."Dummy," Ashley muttered with a shake of her head and I grinned at them.We walked for some more minutes before the coach asked us to stop.True enough, we stopped in front of the Statue of Liberty."Dude,you have to teach me your secret!" I said hitting Jake by the arm which he pulled a scowl at."Right. Sorry," I muttered and he only looked forward. I

"Hey, Quinnel... Watch out!" Someone yelled and my eyes widened when I saw Quinnel ran in front of a moving bus.With a gasp, I pulled to a halt unable to move any further. My heart was beating in my chest as the long bus passed by me.When it had finished passing, I looked up to Quinnel, hopefully, to find him not standing on the opposite side of the road. Another gasp escapes my lips when I find the place empty. I brought my hand up to my lips as I felt tears coming to my eyes."He's not dead, right?" I asked myself shaking my head."He obviously passed before the bus. The bus didn't hit him!" I mumbled and I shook my head again."His Mum... What do I tell his Mum? She helped me and this is what I repay her. Oh My God!" I muttered bending down."Let's not jump to conclusions... His body is not even... Oh no."While my eyes was looking around, someone covered my eyes from behind. With an angry and sad expression, I stood up jerking the person's hand away.I turned around with a glar

"Alright, we're here." The coach and I didn't even bother looking up from my feet that I have been staring at for some minutes. Nah, forever.Ever since my speech about minding your own business to Ashley, Jake and Zaire who looked bewildered by the way... I have been staring at my sneakers."Woah!" Ashley exclaimed and I looked at her to see her eyes fixed on something with her eyes twinkling in delight.The sun was out high in the sky. So it was shining really harsh down on us and more so, we were in the afternoon already.I looked from her sun kissed face to whatever she was looking at and to say I was amazed by it's beauty would be an understatement!New York is beautiful!"This is the Bryant Park. The grounds features monuments and garden, and "Le Carrousel," a popular carousel. A games area makes available chess boards, checkers, and backgammon boards for a small fee."I look around the the Bryant Park. The sun that was behind us was only reaching half the green lawn that was in

Four updates in one day!🌝🌝 Ooh! Enjoy... And thank you all for reading Love and Secrets. ❤️ "Woah! Dude." Zaire yelled holding Quinnel's hand back and he only glared at him. "Leave me the fuck alone." He spat before he jerked his hand off and turned his face back to the guy under him. Everyone kept yelling for Quinnel to stop but he wasn't having it. Mountains by Tatiana Manaois started playing in the background and I swear it was like the worst timing ever. Another blow landed and I gasped looking down at the bloodied boy lying helplessly on the floor with both arm hanging lazily beside his head as he heaved heavily. Sitting on top of him was Quinnel who kept punching the boy even though his face was already battered beyond repair. His teeth was red with blood, his cheekbone red and bleeding, the corner of his eyes was bleeding as it bled over his freckles down his cheekbone that was already bleeding. His nose looked dislocated and I knew it had broken as it was also bleeding
