LOGINKehlani The moment the doors slid open, cold air greeted me. Not exactly freezing but the air was crisp and everything smelled fresh and clean. The floors were polished and they gleamed beneath the bright lights.“Whoa.” I stared at the enormous photographs that lined the wall of players celebrating the championship with historic goals and I whispered. “This is amazing. I'm glad my project is about hockey.”“You've never seen inside a professional arena before?” I laughed. “Not like the one we had in high school.”“Yeah. That one sucks.” We continued walking down and some guys passed us, staring at me somehow. They don't pass without greeting him. He seemed to be quite popular. I opened my notepad and typed: he's free with everyone, everyone knows him and he treats the staff member cool. “Trevor. Do you think I'm supposed to be here? I don't see any girl around here.”He smiled. “I may be violating the rule but who cares?” He grabbed my arms. “Hold on to me tight.” He smirked.I s
Kehlani My car was brought just exactly as Trevor promised. I checked through and everything was working accordingly. I thanked the engineer and he left. But I don't think I would drive the car to his place. Anyways he had one we could both use for mobility. So I dressed up and took a cab to his place. I got there at 1:30pm. I stopped at the gate and called his phone. Soon, he was out. A part of the gate slid open and he smiled. “Hey.”“Hi.” I responded back and walked in. He closed them and I found my way in while he followed me behind. I sat on the couch but I saw him climbing the stairs. “Kehlani, I'm in my room. You need something. Just come up.”“O-okay.” I nodded and he left. That reminds me. I haven't even been upstairs. Gosh, I needed a drink. I walked to his kitchen and grabbed a juice box and opened the cap immediately. I drank and walked back to the living room. Then I climbed the stairs, his place is just so fine. When I finally took that last step into the hallway, I
Kehlani We entered the apartment building through the glass lobby doors. Trevor glanced around. “So, this is where you live?” He smiled. “Mhm.” I nod as we walked. We crossed the marble lobby through the elevator and I pressed a button. A soft ding echoed moments later. The door slid open and we stepped inside. I couldn't help but replay the image of that snake. It made me shiver. Gosh, I hated snakes with passion. They freak me out. The elevator stopped and the doors opened. We walked down the hallways till we reached my apartment. I fumbled with my keys for a second before opening the door. Trevor let out a whistle as we stepped in. “Whoa. This is so cool.” He wandered farther into the living room and spun, then, his eyes landed on the large windows overlooking the far end city skyline. “It's so comfy here.” I laughed and he walked to the windows, staring through. “I could stand here all night.” I went beside him and it's really a nice view. Cars looked like tiny ants passing
Kehlani I called three times. He wasn't picking up. My nerves crawled. Why isn't he answering his phone? What's wrong? I started praying. The hissing of the snake made me start crying. Trevor finally answered. “Hey, fake girlfriend. You're home, right?”The moment I heard his voice, I threw away my composure. “Trevor….” My voice broke. A sob escaped my lips. His voice changed instantly. “Kehlani? What's wrong? Are you crying?” He asked, alert. Another sniffle left me. “Hey. What's wrong?” I wiped my face, crying harder. “I'm so lost….my car…”“What happened to your car?” “It stopped.”“Okay? Where? How?”“I ran out of fuel. I got more fuel and it won't start.”“Where are you?”“I don't know.” I cried harder and looked forward, through the windshield. “I took a different route because of traffic and I don't know where I am. It's so dark and scary here. I can't turn back because my stupid car won't start and a huge snake is outside the car—”“Kehlani.” His voice cut through. “Tak
Kehlani “Oh, please. I don't even want to hear all that.” I Covered my ears. “Trevor, you're going to be late if we keep on talking like this. I need to go home.”His brows immediately furrowed as he glanced up from his watch. “What? Come on. You can stay.”“No. I can't.”“Why?”I laughed. “Because I have a home.” “So?”“So?” I stood up. “So, I'm going there.” I replied in deep exasperation. “Why do you always let me talk too much?” I walked past him and he followed behind to the entrance. The dog still trailing behind. “You are a terrible girlfriend.” He laments. I stopped halfway, abruptly and he almost bumped into me. “Today is just the first day and you're already complaining?” I cocked my head. He leaned against the wall, staring at me somehow like I owed him something or like he was yearning. The way he always stared. I turned, raising my index fingers. “It's a terrible fake girlfriend.” I smiled. “Stop confusing yourself.”“We've been dating for approximately 10 hours.”I
Kehlani I froze, his words got me struck. I turned slowly to stare at him. Family? Us? Really? His face turned pale and he smiled in a nervous manner, looking away like he regretted what he said. We remained silent and I just folded my arms and arched my head back. “Okay. That was just a joke.” He cleared his throat. “So, what are we cooking?”“Ahh. Wait. That was really a joke right?” I blinked. “Uhh, maybe. Maybe not.”I walked closer to him, slowly till I closed the gap between us. “Maybe not is fine.” I said with a low voice and he smirked. Then bent his head so close that our lips were almost touching. “Why? Is it bad if we do?” He whispered. His breath was so minty, I was lost. No. Don't show him that he's capable of being powerful. I laughed and pushed him back. “Excuse me, Trevor Casper. You and I are done after this semester. By then, I'm going back to my normal life and I'll be with the love of my life. He could be a handsome CEO of a company or a hot mafia guy with tat
Kehlani My day just got a lot worse. I couldn't even concentrate in class. I love Trevor too much that I still wanted to talk to him. Still wanted him to give us a chance to date again. But he doesn't want that. I think he's scared, so maybe, maybe I should just do as he says. It's time to…..move
Kehlani I didn't have the motivation to go to school.For the past few months, it was Trevor honk of a car outside that brought me out. He was always early to come pick me up from home to school. But now, dad would be dropping me at school. Breakfast was cold. I mean, it was served hot but I didn'
Kehlani I got back home. I didn't want to leave but I did anyway, because I couldn't force things. Definitely, Elliot must have tried to call me. But I blocked him. I got home and sat on the chair by the porch. I tried the breathing technique to calm myself down but it was working, the door opened
Kehlani For a while, everything paused. I just stared at the message that popped up.(Congratulations, Kehlani Cole. You won the Golden lensArt scholarship program…..)The words blurred and I opened it with shaking hands.(We are pleased to inform you, full tuition coverage, mentorship with top in
