"Welcome back Madam!." An old butler hurriedly greeted.
Mary nodded at her before pointing at Thelma that just entered. "Old John, this is my niece, Thelma, and she will be living here from now on. Show her to her new room please!."The butler nodded respectfully as he take the suitcase from Thelma."Miss Thelma, you are welcome. This way please."Thelma followed the Butler and Katherine also tagged along.They reached upstairs and the butler opened the door of one of the rooms and make way for her. "This is your room, Miss Thelma."Thelma look at the room and what met her eyes is the flashy pink in the room, like a Barbie room, from the wall to the floor, all of them were decorated in pink and white. There were Even Barbie dolls around!'Could there have been a mistake?' She thought, suppressing the urge to close her eyes, and ran out."Wow!, Mommy is soo good to you, so many pinks!." Katherine covered her mouth in envy."What do you think? do you like it?" She turned to Thelma and ask.Thelma's first instinct is to shake her head in no but when she saw the gaze of both the butler and Kathy, she forced herself to nod."Yeahhhh, I love it so much!!!.""I'm glad you like it. I will take my leave now." The old butler said and Thelma nodded."So you are also into pink?!, I know we will get along since the first time I saw you!." Katherine grinned.Thelma didn't say anything and walked to the pink closet.Kathy walked after her and offered kindly;"Let me help you unpack your luggage"Thelma nodded and the girls unpacked together.After finishing unpacking, Kate stood up."You should come downstairs, dinner is ready!."Thelma grinned and hurriedly went to the bathroom. "Sure!"Why do I feel like she is a foodie?." Katherine thought with her tilted head as she remembered the way Thelma licked her lips at the mention of food.She also didn't say anything anymore and sprinted out of the room.Thelma take a quick shower and changed into a cotton shirt with leggings, she grab her fluffy slippers and walked downstairs.Katherine take her to the dining room and soon, Kate and Mary joined them.The maids served the food and Thelma had a hearty dinner. The girls then decided to play truth or dare before sleeping.Mary on the other hand sat on the couch and listened to the news.Starting the game, Kate was the first to go, she spin the bottle around until it finally stopped spinning with its head pointing at Katherine."Truth or dare?". Kate asked."I choose Dare." Katherine carefully reply.A smile bloomed on Kate's face, placing her hand elegantly on the table, she thinks for a while."I dare you to cook noodles for us for five days." then she winked at Thelma."Five f*cking days?!."Katherine glared at her elder sister who loves to eat but didn't like cooking. Kate spins the bottle again and the head pointed at Thelma."Truth" Thelma chooses."Hmm, do you have a boyfriend?" Katherine asked as she looked into her eyes.Thelma shook her head in denial and soon it was Katherine's turn again."Why me always?" Kathy grunt and choose the truth this time around."Who did you have a crush on right now?" Kate slyly asked.A shy blush crept on Katherine's face which make her look rather lovely. "Derek Hunt""You must be kidding!" With widened eyes, Kate stood up. She can't believe her sister also fell in love with that boy's charm."Who is he?" Thelma curiously asked when she saw the shocked expression on Kate's face.With a sigh, Kate explained."Derek Hunt is our school prince charming, not only was he handsome, he comes from the wealthiest family in this country, he is also academically brilliant but.... he never liked a woman, tons of girls confessed to him in the past but he never dates anyone of them.""Kate, you've made a mistake, he dated a girl before." Katherine interrupted softly."Oh that, yeah, he is very close with Selena Williams" Kate added nonchalantly."I am not in the mood to play this game anymore, can't believe that you like a man that will not even spare you a glance?."Katherine pouted in dissatisfaction. "Selena can make him fall in love with her so why can't I?.""Kathy, listen, don't do anything stupid, okay, you don't even have the chance to talk to him face to face talks less about proving yourself to him! There are many men to choose from apart from him. I hope you can understand." Kate warned and left the dining room."What kind of Sis is she, hash!!" Katherine stomped her feet angrily on the floor and also leave.Thelma sat there and look at the happy game that end with separation because of a guy.Now, she was curious about this so call Derek Hunt.She blushed and hurriedly look around and was glad that many of the students were concentrating on their food and didn't notice their little movement.Turning to him, she glared coldly. "Don't you know we are in public?" "Ar–Are you angry? if you were angry, you can also do the same back, I wouldn't stop you." His expression was so innocent and serious that Thelma felt speechless.She didn't bother to talk to him but instead concentrated on her meal and it was only then that Derek asked the question that was eating his heart."Thelma, didn't you say that you would think about it and give me a reply?"Thelma sighed and know that this guy is really inexperienced. She wanted to think about it, yes! but it wasn't a matter of thinking about it for a night only.However, in reality, she actually didn't have anything to think about. She knew she liked him and he liked her back..."Actually..." She said and Derek felt so nervous that he hurriedly sat up straight, leaving Thelma speechless
After they finished eating, they were taken to school by the driver.The car dropped them at the entrance but to Thelma's surprise the moment she got down from the car, she saw Derek standing lazily at the entrance. And of course, it was with his female fans, admiring his picturesque look early in the morning. Katherine's eyes were wide open as she look at the man she loves so much, she arranged a smile on her face, ready to go and talk to him when Kate pull her by using her bag before and pulling her to her side and said to Thelma."We will meet at home."Thelma nodded with a smile as she watched Katherine stomping her foot as her sister dragged her away.Derek raised his head at the moment and his lips curled up into a smile, surprising the students!They didn't expect the stone-faced school hunk to smile and he looks super sexy too when he does so. Derek didn't care about what they thought or feel as he walk to Thelma.Thelma's heart hammered against her chest as she look at the h
Thelma rolled around on the king-size bed in frustration, just then, her phone beeped, indicating that she had a message. She tapped on the messaging app and was surprised to see that it was from Derek.Derek: Are you sleeping?Sighing, Thelma replied. "Yes, I am sleeping."She placed her phone at the side and continue looking at the ceiling when she realized what she had just sent."Dammit Thelma, why are you so stupid when it comes to him?." She slapped her forehead and pick up the phone, wanting to delete the message when she received another one.Derek: Oh? I don't know that a sleeping person can also text messages.Thelma could see his sarcastic smile and she wanted to insult him but he beat her to it.Derek: Accept my video call.Then she saw his video call request.Scoffing, Thelma typed.Thelma: You opened your mouth and I will do as you say, you might as well go to heaven if you have the ability.Derek was speechless for a moment before he typed back.Derek: I want to tell yo
His index finger reached for her chin and raised it, his emerald eyes almost bore a hole into her as he asked. "What do you mean by rejection?.""And what the hell does that have to do with you?." Thelma asked."A lot." He replied coldly.Suppressing the urge to roll her eye, Thelma smirked. "Uh? A lot? Tell me..."She wasn't able to continue her words when his face suddenly magnified in front of her, before she could say anything, his cold lips landed on hers, causing her eyes to go wide and her mind to become blank.The only word that could come out of her mouth was 'You' and just as she said that his tongue find its way into her mouth, somehow skillfully entangling with hers. She wanted to push him away, but his chest was as hard as a rock, she could only stand still helplessly as he kiss her thoroughly.Just as she was feeling breathless from the kiss, he finally stop. Her eyes were a little misty and her chest heaved up and down, after calming herself down, she asked in anger."
"I will go and redo it." She simply said and stretched forward her hand and grabbed the notebook but he wouldn't let it go. "Give it back!." Thelma frowned but Derek wouldn't budge as he placed his hand on the note."Take it if you can." He said, staring at her seriously."What are you doing, just give it back to me, okay?." "Why should I give it back?."Thelma gritted her teeth, wishing she could just slap this man, but she instead glanced at him as if he was stupid and replied. "Because it is mine." Her tiny voice sounded like an angry kitten and Derek can't help but tease her. He mimicked her tone and said softly "But what's yours is mine."Thelma's eyes widened abruptly as she stared at his shock, then she shook her head. "What do you want Selena to do if she were to hear what you just say?."Derek shook his head. "What does what she felt has to do with me?.""Aren't you guys a couple?." Thelma asked, successfully snatching back her notebook and starting redoing the wrong ones.
Thelma's hand trembled, contemplating whether or not she should answer the call but in the end, she decided against it. She has yet to step into the bathroom when her phone rang again, it was still him. Inhaling silently, she finally answers the call. "Thelma...." His gentle voice sounded, as pure as the purest piano piece, bringing peace to one's heart. She nearly blurted out his name but remembering what he had once done to her, how he had nearly hurt her, she stop herself but instead ask coldly."What can I do for you?."The other party was silent for a moment and just when Thelma was considering whether to end the call or not, she heard his whimper."Thelma, I know you didn't delete my contact from your phone, I am sorry, I have wronged you, I have let you down," Justin said, choking."What are you saying?." Thelma asked with a frown."I just got a little better, so I went to ask for you at your house... and it was then that your sister told me all that I had done to you. I am
"Thelma, you are here early today?." Isabella exclaimed."Am I not early before?." Thelma asked with a frown as she sat down.Isabella chuckled. "Of course, you as early as a turtle." She changed the topic and asked concernedly, "What did the principal say? Are you going to detention?." "Thankfully nope." Thelma beamed."I am relief then." Isabella patted her chest."Thanks for helping me take a day off." "That's what I should do!." They chatted and the day went away peacefully. At closing time, Derek suddenly announced that there was no extra study, surprising them but they didn't ask why, after all, he is the tutor.Thelma found herself in Derek's Bugatti, well, she was told that for her safety, she had to be with him all the time, including going home with him.But then, she noticed that something was wrong, they weren't going in the direction of her house so she couldn't help but ask."Where are we going?."Derek had his leaning on the headrest with his leg crossed elegantly a
Thelma slept in the guest room and she woke up late, probably at 7 AM. "Seems like I slept peacefully." She thought as she walked lazily to the bathroom. After taking a shower, she look at herself in the mirror and realized that her cheeks had become less swollen and she can't help but rub on it and thought cheerfully."Thank goodness it has gone down, otherwise I don't think I can go to school with a big bump on my head." She wore the clothes she wore yesterday and walked to the living room.Derek and Robert were having breakfast already and she pulled a chair out to sit beside them."Good morning." She greeted."Good morning, Miss Thelma." Robert cheerfully greeted, after all, this was his boss's woman."Morning. Do you sleep well?." Derek's deep emerald eyes landed on the girl who was busy eating."Yeah." Thelma nodded, not bothering to look up from the delicious meal in front of her.The breakfast went peacefully and Robert drove them to school.Entering her class, she was told t
Derek bit his bottom lip to stop the laughter from breaking out, "Dinner will be ready soon"."Uh, who is gonna cook?" Thelma asked curiously, it definitely wasn't going to be Derek."Robert of course, I am going out, I will come and call you when it is ready""Oh sure, thanks" Thelma nodded with a smile as she watched his retreating figure."Oh, let me inform Mary so that she wouldn't worry again," she thought and was about to dial Mary's number when she suddenly felt embarrassed. She had a fight with her teacher the day before and the day after, she fought with a classmate, she didn't know how Mary would feel when she heard this so she called Katherine's number instead.The call was answered instantly and Katherine's voice that was dripping with worry could be heard from the other side."Thelly, where are you? It is raining and the driver said he can't find you, are you alright?"Katherine was sitting with Kate in the sitting room, Jonathan was also around and was sitting on anoth
