"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
“Cara?”Zina called in surprise, all the girls were surprised to hear Cara defend Merry.“What?” Cara asked as she went to her side of the room, she went to her wardrobe and began dressing up.All the while everyone stood where they were, they were too shocked to move their feet.Cara turned back to see that her roommates were still standing staring in her direction, she rolled her eyes.“What’s with the stares?” She asked as she looked from one person to another “Is something wrong?” She looked around her, her facial expression depicting that she was searching for what made them look stunned.“You,” Zina said as she points to Cara “just said that Olivia should give Merry a break.” Cara nodded as she sat before her mirror “Yeah, I did, is there a problem?” She asked as she applied mild makeup to her face.Olivia scoffed “You wanna play the saint here right?” She asked with a smirk.Cara rolled her eyes, looking unperturbed, Zina and Diane exchanged glances as they both went to their
With a wide grin he entered his car, as he closed his door, he erupted into a loud laugh.“So much for the most beautiful babe on campus!” West exclaimed amidst laughter.Seeing Olivia being helped by her cousin made him laugh all the more, he watched as they both got into the car, and the car drove off.He erupted into another round of laughter.He stopped laughing suddenly “I think, this is my opportunity.” He said to himself as an idea dropped into his mind.He had seen how Olivia fell, face down in the restaurant, he had come to eat alone and drown in the sorrow of being rejected but instead of drowning in sorrow, he had laughed his heart out.“Hmmm…” He hummed as the idea that had dropped in his mind begin formulating.A few minutes passed, he nodded “I know just what to do.” He said, he took his phone out and played a video, the video was the one he had taken from when Olivia stormed into the restaurant to where she fell.He smiled as he put his phone away, took his keys, ignite
