What was he doing here? and with Olivia?The excitement she felt earlier immediately turned bitter.'They must be on a date' She told herself, her eyes locked with his, a rough push brought her out of her thought."What is the meaning of this?" Olivia asked, annoyance written over her face, Merry pressed her lips together "No, you just tell me why you are eyes fucking my man"The words hit Merry hard that her eyes sting."So is that what they do here?" Olivia asked as she stood up, her voice getting louder each second.She can't afford to lose her new, well-paying job... Merry thought as she looked over Olivia's shoulder, to see that they were already attracting attention "I'm sorry, it isn't what you think at all, I'm very sorry" She apologized."You-" She paused.. won't it be stupid of her to fight or quarrel when she is about to make him like her, this is a time to impress him not turn him off.'Olivia behave' She scolded herself.She sat down, she cleared her throat "Just bring th
Merry held her books against her chest, she looked everywhere except the face of the person that is staring at her from the car."Please come in." Kaiden said, he opened the passenger door for Merry but she stood rooted to the spot, not showing any interest in moving from where she was.Kaiden sighed ... From the scent oozing from her, he could tell she wasn't happy and she was disturbed about something which he might know.After the meal with Olivia, he noticed that each time he locked his gaze with hers in class, she quickly averted her eyes, he knew she was always staring at him and he kinda felt bad for what happened with Olivia."Are you avoiding me?" Kaiden asked as he opened his door, she took some steps backward, and he stood before her, closing the door behind him, she didn't give a response "Merry?" He called.No response."Please come into the car" He said, she finally looked up at him, his beautiful, sad eyes captured her person, she walked over to the opened door and ente
"Someone is here to see you." Her colleague informed her, Merry frowned ending the call.She was eating at the corner of the restaurant, her shift for that morning has ended.She stands up to go to see who was asking after her when she saw Gideon coming towards her with flowers and a package, a smile on his face."Good morning Merry." He greeted her as he sat down before her, he beckoned on a waiter who came, he ordered for the both of them.Merry slowly sat down, the cologne that is emanating from Gideon would be damn expensive because the fragrance was strong and pleasant... But why is he here?The waiter came, packing away Merry's unfinished food, he set the table with what Gideon has ordered, Merry stared at the flower and package on the table wondering what was going on."The flowers are for you and this too" He said as the waiter bowed and walked away.Merry looked at him with confusion as she accepted the flowers and the package he pointed at her, she checked what was inside th
"Holy heavens!" Merry screamed, startled by the person who had just suddenly come from behind the shelf she was about to going to.Gideon smiled "I'm sorry if I startled you." He said with a smile, she nodded. "Are you here to see me?" She inquired, seeing he was staring at her with folded arms."Are you serious about what you told me?" He asked, even though he had heard her crystal clear, he still had a doubt... Did he hear properly?Merry smiled "Yes, I am serious about what I told you, Gideon, I'm sorry to have hurt your feelings but I really don't like you enough to date you."She said it again. Again.Hearing the words from her, the bitter strain in his heart increased, it was as if his heart was hammered and most especially his ego was bruised... How come she doesn't love or should he say like him enough to date him? ... Like who the hell is she to say, she didn't like him enough to date him? ... Most ladies just await the opportunity for him to just smile at them and that's a
..She blinked, did he just ask her to kiss him again?“Kaiden, you know what this means right?” She asked as she maintained eye contact with him.He shook his head, indicating he doesn’t understand what she was saying, Merry, chuckled.No matter how her day was going, each time she sees Kaiden she always smiles, or when they get to talk, his sincerity and honesty make her like him the more.“A girl confesses her feelings and you both ended up kissing, isn’t that an invitation to be lovers?” She asked as she lowered her toes, she stands fully on her feet which makes her shorter than she was.‘How on earth, are you this bold?’ Her mind exclaimed, Merry bites her lips which only makes Kaiden want to kiss her the more.He leaned in, his head inches apart from her “Would I get kisses?” He asked.“Kaiden!” She exclaimed, both of her hands which were on his face, playfully hit his chest.“Would I get more kisses?” He asked again, this time with a voice that made Merry all shy and wants to k
“Hello?” Olivia almost yelled, she brought the phone from her ear, the call had ended already.She scoffed angrily, throwing her phone to the side.Diane wondered what was going but the angry look on Olivia’s face means that there was definitely trouble.“Diane?” Olivia called without glancing up, she gritted her teeth “If you love Cara, please tell her that she should stay away from Kaiden.”Diane's face turned confused “Uhmmm Okay?"Olivia sprang from her seat "Tell her to fucking leave him alone, I saw him first, I loved him first, I wanted him first! For heaven's sake! Why wouldn't she leave what is supposed to be mine alone?!" She screamed angrily, hitting her fists on the table.Diane sighed, she took her phone from her back pocket and tried Cara's line but she wasn't picking up."I will frustrate her until she begs for mercy." Olivia threatened looking at Diane.Giving her a friend a surprised look "Over a guy?" She asked, Olivia, sized Diane from her head to her feet and hisse
“Hmm … Derek?” Kaiden called.His friend looked up at him, he smirked “Your gazes have bored holes into my head!” Derek exclaimed, “Finally you talked.”They were studying in the library for a test, Derek noticed that his friend wanted to say something but he wouldn’t, he decided not to ask him and wanted him to talk for himself.“Well …” Kaiden started as he loses the bond that held his locks together, he shook his head, his locks dangling here and there “How do you make your girlfriend happy?” He asked.“About girls, huh?” Derek asked wriggling his brows which made Kaiden twitch his mouth.“She says things that make me smile no matter what, and she does things that make me laugh while I do nothing, I want to make her smile too” “Hmmm” Derek hummed “Is it love I hear in your voice?” Kaiden rolled his eyes “Stop exaggerating.”He isn’t capable of loving anyone, he doesn’t love Merry, he just wants to make her happy just as she had done to him, she told him that she would make him ha
“What’s the problem with you?” Isobel asked as she and Olivia entered her apartment.She knew her cousin well and for the past days Olivia had been with her, she hasn’t been herself.Olivia only sighed as she sat on the bed, looking miserable.Isobel went to the kitchen, she came back with two glasses of juice, she handed one over to Olivia who shook her head, indicating she wasn’t interested in taking the juice.“Please don’t tell me that all this-“ gesturing with her hand “Is cause of him.” She said Isobel herself has been avoiding mentioning this.After the incident at the restaurant, she came to hate all that Olivia was doing to get his attention, although she wasn’t the one who fell she felt ashamed.Olivia looked up at her cousin and sighed, she nodded her head, Isobel sighed “As for me, I think you should consider those words he said to you.” She said as she goes to sit down on the study chair, placing the other glass of juice on the table, she sips hers.“And what’s that supp
