With a dropped jaw and wide eyes, Amanda peered at Melanie, trying to make sense of the whole thing even when the result was right at her front. Beads of sweat trickled down Melanie’s forehead, anxiety clouding her features. Tension hung heavily in the air and one thing Amanda needed at the moment was some explanation which she wasn’t getting from her.“Are you really pregnant?” She asked, slurring each syllable.“Or is this a prank? I know you love doing this… If it’s a prank, then fine, you win okay. Cos I just fell for it.” Amanda said with a faint smile tugging at her lips.When she noticed the gloomy countenance on Melanie’s face, her smile faltered immediately.“Melanie. Speak to me…” “I - I don’t know what to do at the moment, Amanda. I don’t know if I’m really pregnant.” Melanie replied, her voice trembling with her lips puckered like she was about to cry.If she’s truly pregnant, then…. she’s on the verge of being crushed completely.No.. this can’t be true, can it?“How sur
“Twentieth….” Amanda mumbled, with her breath stalled in her chest. Carl's gaze intensified, and she could feel her palms become sweaty as she stared at him, with goosebumps appearing on her skin.“Yes, Barbie doll. Have you been able to come up with anything?” He inquired with raised eyebrows, and she understood from his look that he was indirectly mocking her because he was fully aware of her predicament.He heard the news about her being dismissed from her job, and he realized she wouldn't be able to cover the expense of his phone repair.“No. I haven't and….” She said and breathed heavily, pausing mid sentence.“And, what?” Carl asked, placing his hand on the locker..“I’ll try to get the money before this month ends, trust me.” Amanda said while Carl heaved a deep sigh, his face was coated with disappointment.He was expecting her to accept defeat or admit that she would not be able to acquire the money, but here she was, determined to pay up even though time was against her.Thi
Night at the hostel~ Rumors of Adrian and Amanda being involved in a relationship spread like wildfire. Several girls in college frequently pick on Amanda, and let's not forget that Hilary and her gang, some of the ladies on the Asphalt Warriors team, despise Amanda because they believe she is attempting to steal Adrian from them.Hilary is a secretary for the Asphalt Warriors motorcycle club. As the most gorgeous lady there, she considered herself Adrian's girlfriend because he offers her more attention than the other girls. And now that Amanda has entered the picture, she is outraged and envious, and she will go to any extent to prevent her from seeing Adrian. That night, Amanda sighed heavily before reclining on her bed, her head leaning against the headboard. Thoughts about her last conversation with Carl continued to plague her. Her mind raced, piecing together fragments of conversations half formed thoughts that had been lingering for days.Amanda couldn't help but recall t
Amanda informed Melanie and Charlotte of Carl's request for her to work at his motorcycle club. Charlotte was stunned, while Melanie showed no reaction.“WAIT..Lemme get this straight.” Charlotte began, pacing the room with her eyes on Amanda. She paused at the center of the room, with her arms akimbo. With her brows raised, she continued, “So.. Carl proposed that you work at his Clubhouse in order for him to reduce the amount you're to pay back?”“Yeah. And I agreed.” Amanda replied, her breath hinged in her throat with regret crawling up her sleeves “I think I made the wrong choice. Maybe I should just call him and tell him that I've changed my mind.” She nibbled her lips and turned around to take her phone which was on the bed.Before she could turn it on, Melanie grabbed it from her and held her shoulders. “I think it's best that you agree with his offer. Who knows, he might even change his mind by telling you not to bother with the payment anymore. I think it's a good decision
Carl tucked his hands in his pocket, with his eyes on Amanda, who was approaching with her friends. He licked his lips, staring at her in that beautiful dress like she was some piece of snack. He wouldn’t deny how aroused he had become with just a mere sight of her.Jade shot Amanda a glare. She traced Carl’s gaze and when she saw how engrossed he was staring at Amanda; she decided to cling onto him with her hands entwined in his arms.“You haven’t said anything, Carl. Why don’t we go to the inner room where I can give you a head? I can ride you all day, Carl. What do you say?” Jade asked, wanting to get his attention.“That won’t be possible, Jade. As you can see, I have guests.” Her brows furrowed as Carl’s words got under her skin. Her face turned a deep shade of red and she glanced at Amanda and her crew with so much contempt in her eyes.“Good morning!” Melanie greeted as she accepted Carl’s handshake.“Morning, beautiful.” Carl said to her before moving to shake Charlotte, but
A faint sheen of sweat formed on Amanda's forehead as she froze under Carl's heated gaze.. Her breath hinged in her throat as his touches sent her nerves in a fucking frenzy.“Every single f**g thing about you turn me on..” He whispered in her ears and that didn't end well, as Amanda felt a pool of frustration within her.What does he take her for? Does he think she's one of those girls or skanks who'd die to have him bury his d**k in them?Granted, she was at the verge of giving in but when she remembered why she was here—working till she paid up for his phone damages—she became enraged and pushed him off her with all of her strength.Even with how she exerted all of her strength into pushing Carl off her, he only budged a little.Her gaze settled on his broad chest, and then to his handsome face and eyes that bored into hers with sheer delight and lust.Furrowing her brows, Amanda snapped at him. “I'm only here to work and not to have you fuck me like I'm being paid for it.”“And wh
Back at the clubhouse ~Carl's brows furrowed as he watched Amanda conversed with Adrian over the phone. He couldn't even tear his gaze from her for a moment. Slowly, Amanda turned around and plastered a false smile on her face as she spoke with Adrian.Carl watched her keenly, and he slid on a tool before gesturing to one of the waitresses for a refill. “Here you go,” Brenda mumbled, a lopsided smile on her face as she slid the drink to Carl. She leaned forward, ensuring her cleavages were well exposed to Carl. Carl's face darkened with disgust and he raised an unimpressed eyebrow since he knew what she was up to.Grabbing his whiskey, he leaned forward and whispered in her attentive ears, “Your little act didn't move me at all. Maybe you could do better.”He said before getting on his feet, an impudent smile sitting on his lips. Her breath stalled in her chest as his words sank in. Brenda scowled at him with pouty lips. She followed Carl's gaze, her expression filled with curiosity
When Jade and Carl arrived at the room, she leaned towards him and planted a kiss on his lips. A splash of happiness brightened her mood as she wrapped her arms around Carl's neck. She couldn't wait to do those dirty things she often does with him… Carl sees her as his fuckmate and nothing else but she wanted him all to herself. Even though she sees him fuck other girls, she's still keen on making him hers alone. Carl grasped her butt, and she stifled a gasp as she stared at him. When he realized that her mouth was slightly opened, he claimed her lips at once and pushed his tongue inside, kissing her hungrily and passionately. Their lips smacked as they made their way to Carl's room and he gently placed Jade on top of his king sized bed. They kissed and smooched for what seemed like a minute and after withdrawing their lips from each other, they couldn't help but gasp. it was like they sucked all the surrounding oxygen while kissing. Carl smirked as he watched Jade gasp, and then
Amanda's eyes locked onto the screen as she hesitated to answer the call. Her mind raced with thoughts of what her mom could want, and why she was calling now, after all this time. She hadn't spoken to her mom in weeks, not since their last argument.Amanda's friends noticed her hesitation and exchanged curious glances. Matilda raised an eyebrow, "Amanda, is everything okay?" she asked, concern etched on her face.Amanda took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. She didn't want to draw attention to her personal issues, especially not in front of her new friends. "Yeah, everything's fine," she said, forcing a smile onto her face.With a sense of trepidation, Amanda answered the call, "Hello?" she said, her voice cautious."Amanda, sweetie, it's Mom," her mom's voice came through the line, sounding anxious. "I've been trying to reach you for weeks. I was starting to get worried."Amanda's grip on her phone tightened, her mind racing with thoughts of what to say, how to react. She h
Charlotte exchanged a few deep breaths as she alighted from the cab.“Thanks,” she mumbled as she handed the taxi driver his fare.After he had driven off, she smoothed her jacket with her fingers. A warm smile tugged at her lips as she bundled deeper in it. The cold winter air hit her face as she sliced a strand of her hair behind her ear.Her smile faltered as she neared Amanda's apartment.She took a deep breath before knocking on the door.They'd been close friends, but it had been weeks since they last spoke.Charlotte had heard rumors about Amanda's transformation, but she wasn't prepared for what she saw when the door opened.Amanda stood before her, looking like a completely different person. Her hair was shorter and darker, her style more elegant and refined. But it was her eyes that startled Charlotte the most - they seemed harder, more guarded."Charlotte," Amanda said, her voice cool and detached. "It's been a while."Charlotte hesitated, unsure of how to react. "Amanda, y
“What is it? What did you just see?” Carl asked, his face etched with concern. He noticed how glued Melanie was to her phone, her face was a mask of horror and extreme shock.“Are you alright?” Carl asked once more as their gazes met.Melanie swallowed the lump in her throat and pushed back those tears that threatened to fall.“After checking my phone, I saw trending news about my pregnancy. Who the hell must have done this?” Melanie whispered tremulously. Adrian pulled out his phone from his pocket, his thumb hovering over the screen with his eyes fixed on it.His jaw dropped a little when he saw a recent video of Melanie puking in an upscale bar.Carl took the phone from him to see what he had seen.“It's a video of me, right?” Melanie asked, her voice above a whisper.“Yes, it is. It’s a video of you at the Malibu bar. That's definitely you, because you're wearing the same clothes you have on now, so it must be from today,” Adrain said as he showed her the video.Melanie pressed he
Both Carl and Adrian had been waiting for what felt like an eternity. Most times, they engaged in conversations about their motorcycle club and other affairs in their lives.Even when they had busy schedules, they still decided to wait at the hospital till Melanie was awake.A slender nurse approached them. She was wearing a nurse scrub and a nose mask. “Patient in room 305 is awake. Miss Melanie Gabrielle.” She spoke, her gaze flicking at both Carl and Adrian.“Thanks for informing us. How is she?” Carl asked politely.“She’s feeling much better. Since she's awake, then you can see her.” She informed them before turning to walk away.“Alright, thanks,” Carl replied with a nod. He and Adrian strolled in the direction of Melanie's ward. As they entered the room, they saw Melanie lying in bed, looking pale and weak. A doctor was standing next to her, a somber expression on his face."Ah, gentlemen," the doctor said, nodding at Carl and Adrian with a bright smile on his face."I'm gla
As they rushed towards Melanie's lifeless body, Carl's eyes widened in shock."Oh my god, it's really.. it's- it's really Melanie?" he exclaimed as he squatted in front of her. Carl positioned her back on a firm flat surface before lifting her chin to open her airway.He listened for her breath sound and luckily, he could feel air on his cheek.Adrian's face twisted in concern, his brows furrowing. "Yeah, it's truly Melanie but what's going on? Is she breathing?” he asked, scanning the surrounding area before turning to face Carl.“Yeah. Luckily she is,” Carl replied but his hopes faded when he discovered that she wasn't breathing.His eyes sprang wide like saucers with fear imprinted on his features.Carl carefully turned Melanie onto her back, and Adrian helped him loosen her clothing. "She's not breathing?” Adrian asked curiously.“Yes, Adrian. She's not fucking breathing!!!” Carl yelled back, trying his best to revive her.Adrian pushed Carl away and immediately began administerin
“Leave, Carl and Adrian. I'm not going with either of you. I've chosen this life for myself and I'm loving every bit of it,” Amanda mumbled, her voice resolute with a fierce expression on her face. Matilda leaned against her, resting her hand on Amanda's shoulders with a hint of pride in her eyes.“We know we've wronged you, Amanda but we aren't giving up on you. We're always going to be here for you no matter what,”Carl spoke in a steady voice, “Yeah. We won't give up.” Adrian chipped in with a nod..Their words came out in whispered promises and for a moment, Amanda maintained eye contact with them, noticing the love, acceptance, determination and support in it.She might be acting so stubborn but she knows full well that they're willing to stick with her.Matilda scoffed as their words elicited an eye roll from her. Stepping in front of me, she crossed her arms and eyed Adrian and Carl from head to toe.“Trust me, she's heard every single thing you both said but that doesn't chan
Amanda left them to meet her crew. Carl and Adrian watched her leave, their faces etched with disappointment. Adrian rubbed his forehead as he tried to make sense of everything she said earlier. His mind reeled as he tried to process everything she said.. He totally understands why she's angry. She has every fucking right to be angry. He wished he had told her earlier about the bet he made with Craig and how he had genuinely fallen in love with her.She's mad at him because she felt his love for her was nothing but pretence. As if that wasn't enough, she went through a recent betrayal from her best friend and now, she just discovered the truth about Mr Finn being her biological father.Carl slid his fingers into his hair, a gloomy expression on his face.“I feel so bad. Our relationship is strained. I didn't expect things to go this way,” Carl spoke as he stood beside Adrian, both their eyes fixed on Amanda.Adrian crossed his arms, his face firm with his eyes narrowing as he drifted
Amanda and her new crew sang to the lyrics, their voices forming a perfect blend. People cheered them on as they sang while Carl and Adrian watched in confusion. “We lost her, Adrian. She's now a different person,” Carl spoke, rubbing his forehead, his face imprinted with worry. Adrian shook his head in denial. “No, Carl. We haven't lost her. She's only trying to redefine herself. We can still get her back. We just have to show our unwavering support and help her heal, man.”Carl smirked and stood on his toes, struggling to see Amanda who was still singing on the stage with her crew. Her face was blurred by the strobing lights.“You think it's easy to win her back. She's clearly upset with us, Adrian.”“That doesn't mean we shouldn't give it a try. We can't let her go. Can we?” Adrian retorted, trying to make his voice clear over the booming song playing from the sticker..Carl perked his ears and nodded, his lips thinning.“You're right, bro. We just have to try. It's the only opti
Amanda's eyes scanned the nightclub, her gaze settling on a group of girls dancing and laughing together. She recognized them as the notorious "Bad Girls Club," known for their wild parties and carefree attitude.Amanda's lips curled into a sly smile as she made her way towards them. She had always been drawn to their fearless and uninhibited energy.As she approached, the girls turned to her, their eyes sparkling with excitement. "Amanda, girl! We've missed you!" one of them exclaimed, pulling her into a tight hug.Amanda laughed, feeling a sense of belonging among these girls. They didn't judge her, and they didn't care about her past. All they cared about was living in the moment and having fun.The night wore on, with Amanda and the Bad Girls Club dancing, drinking, and laughing together. They were a whirlwind of energy and excitement, and Amanda felt alive, free from the burdens of her past.As the night lingered, Amanda found herself letting go of her past, losing herself in the
