I barged to the living room. Alvin was on the sofa opposite the television. Though the television was turned on to an obviously romantic-comedy, he wasn't watching it but had his attention focused on his laptop, hitting its keys with his fingers aggressively. I stopped right in front of him, standing in akimbo and held my phone up to face him. I was about to call him Mr Robert but I remembered he had said I could call him Alvin. "Alvin, please I need an explanation."He didn't raise his head from the laptop, totally ignoring me."Hello?" I frowned, waving my hand. Still no response."Have you gone online today?!" I barked.My loudness definitely drew his attention as he slowly raised his head to me, wearing the most bored expression I had ever seen anyone wear."So what?" He replied indifferently, returning his gaze to his laptop's screen."So what?" I huffed, unable to believe my ears. "My dignity, public image is at stake here, Mister.""The Internet spreads things a lot. People are
The moment I raised my head, I almost went blind at the sight of two completely naked bodies; France and Jovi, on the bed, in the middle of a hissing hot sexual session, Jovi squeaked, jerking away from France like an electrocution just occurred, immediately picking her scattered clothes from the floor to shield her breasts from view."I'm sorry," I apologized, opened the door wider and ran out, slamming it shut.I didn't stop running till I stopped by the elevator, panting. I hit the elevator button repeatedly, not being patient enough for it to open slowly. I rushed into it the moment it opened, hitting the button to the 7th floor. Before the doors closed completely, I observed a man running in the direction of the elevator to stop it from closing completely but he wasn't quick enough, they shut before he could stop them.I sighed, raking my fingers through my hair. "Stupid Alvin said they were going to be out now." I frowned."Gosh, my eyes need holy water." I chuckled, cringing as
I raised my head from the sofa, glancing at the stupid wall clock hung on the wall, above the door. It's been about 9 or 10 hours but still no one had heard my cry for help, neither had France or Jovi returned. I rose to my feet from the floor, sauntering to the savior in the form of a fridge, taking out an apple. There were fruits and foods I had eaten from when my stomach had tortured me out of hunger. Taking a bite of the apple, I moaned, squeezing my face in frustration. "This is totally crazy, a very stupid hotel, why won't there be an emergency telephone?"I screamed, hoping to pour out my exasperation, but it wasn't working, I was still equally infuriated. I took another bite of the apple, tossing it away, scuttled to the bed and climbed on the neatly laid bed, jumping on it. "Get," I jumped, "me," I jumped again, "out," and again, "of," and again, "HERE!" I screamed, dropping to my knees on the bed, scrunched the duvet in my hands and growled. I swear, I had never felt this
"It's true. I Love You, Samantha Reese." He lowered his head, tilting it to connect our lips for an electrifying,brain-bending kiss. Alvin loved me?! HOLY COWS!The dim lights went off then the bright lights turned on again. He shut his eyes, seeming deep into the kiss but my eyes were bugged out, unable to close on their own accord. My heart beat rate had gone wild. How could Alvin love me?He probably only realized wasn't responding to his kiss so he pulled away, gazing; his eyes read fear as henwatched me, patiently waiting for my answer. I huffed, pulling apart from him. "So you locked me in France's room all day for this?""He locked you in his room? He's so stupid. They ought to take you out with them to distract you, not lock you. I apologize on their behalf." He attempted to hold me but I stepped backwards."So you spread the news on the internet?" I glowered."What? No way! I didn't do that, why'd I do that?" He retorted."Oh gosh," I huffed."Samantha Reese, I need your res
"Hi, guys." I grinned, waving, I just started a video call with Georgina and Lila."Babe," Georgina said boringly."Sam, how are you?" Lila beamed."You called today? What a surprise!" Georgina said, throwing a handful of chips into her mouth."Indeed a surprise. Is there any special occasion going on? Did you wake up to the wrong side of the morning?""No, guys. I called to say 'hi' to you, together." "Dummy," Georgina said for no good reason. "How are you spending time with your boyfriend over there?" She winked."Boyfriend? What Boyfriend?""Your boss, Alvin. You're viral on the internet, baby. Let your followers know I'm your best friend so they can follow me too to check out my cool ass." She smiled smugly.Lila rolled her eyes. "Is it true? Are you dating him now? So soon?""No way!" I furrowed my forehead."Why not? The internet says you are." Georgina drew her eyes in askance, "Are you lying to us?""You don't have to believe everything you see on the internet." Lila frowned.
"Sam, the party is tonight." Alvin reminded me like I didn't know that already. I guess we were sticking to Sam and no longer 'Miss Mark' now. I stopped myself from glaring at him but I ensured my face didn't read any friendly expression."Aren't you excited for it?""What's so exciting about the stupid party?" I scoffed.He rolled his eyes, walked up to me on the couch, and sat beside me. That was not an action that was comfortable for me."Go to my room, there's a box on the bed. It's for you." He said indifferently, taking the remote control from the table to turn on the television.I wanted to ask questions about what it was but sitting beside him was so discomforting so I instead rose to my feet and sauntered to his room. What could he have gotten me? If I was so curious, I had to check it. Duh, what else was I going to do? Not check?The door wasn't locked so I strolled in and to the bed. There was a big box on the bed, increasing my curiosity. Without lifting it first to take i
Immediately the chauffeur brought the Limousine to a stop, flashes from phones and cameras or whatever already filled around us. And yes, this was my first time being in a Limo. The chauffeur got out of the limo and turned around to open the door for us. Alvin was the first to step out of the Limo then he extended his hand towards me for me to accept it. "Why?" I gruffed.He was wearing a grin I could easily tell was fake and was for the public. "Be sensible." He said through grinning teeth.Defeatedly, I accepted his hand then he helped me out of the car. I was almost deafened by squealings from people and I almost went blind by the number of flashes around. Random people kept squealing and were attempting to touch us but there was the presence of bouncers that were stopping them from doing so.Though it seemed like forever, we were able to pass through the stage of the bunch of people and their screaming. We got into the hall and the atmosphere was more friendly. From the golden cha
"Thank you so much, I received it earlier today and I'm damn grateful."Lila said from the other end of the line."It's nothing.""Are you kidding me? Another $10,000?! I'm certain it's got something to do with your boss, let him know I'm very grateful. The Doctor has assured me that Mom's surgery would be great and she'd be fine on or before next week.""Really?" A grin appeared on my lips."Yes. And I can notice the improvement in her health, she's doing really great and it's all thanks to you and God. Our Mother would be fine soon.""Wow, I'm super excited!" I squealed, feeling the greatest form of joy building up in my belly. I was beyond exhilarated. I really wanted to jump on the couch and scream my internals out to express this triumph."If it's got anything to do with your boss, please thank him a million times and give him a chance. I'll call you later. Bye."Whether or not I had admitted it, I had been so scared of Mia dying. She was the only family I had left except Lila, a
