Brenda G____I loathed hospitals, especially the putrid stench of blood, medicine, and every other nauseating smell. It's why I yanked off the bed covers in an attempt to get out of the bed where I felt suffocated.I mean, it was just a headache which I could have managed while at home. I didn't have to come to the hospital.Dulcie was peacefully napping on the sofa at the corner of the room. She wasn't supposed to be with me that late but she offered to stay. I felt happy for having good friends, whom I could rely on. I had learned to like her genuinely.Standing from the bed, I stretched my hands in then let out a yawn. My joints creaked as a result of the stretch. My injury had been dressed and also I had been injected with some pain relievers. I felt much better.Pushing the curtains to peek outside, someone entered the room which drew my attention. Dulcie also woke up looking as if she had just had a nightmare.The intruder was Jake.Jake closed the door with a huge force which
Brenda G____ Friday finally arrived and as custom, it was a day in which we did the Chemistry assignments in the laboratory. The assignments mainly involved chemistry practicals. We always performed the experiments in pairs. That morning was no exception.My tummy fluttered with a million butterflies the moment I found out that my lab partner was Jake Williams. I was both excited and nervous to work with him.Something always crawled to the surface whenever I saw him. He was affecting me in more ways than one. At times during class, I would steal glances at him. He was rude and arrogant but sometimes sweet.At first, I thought that I was high on drugs. That's why I was thinking of him in such a manner. But then, I found out that in fact, I was comfortable with how he was. Whether rude or sweet, I found it suited him.Poor me.I was the type of girl who likes bad boys, those girls mostly are found in books and movies.The guy is a prince. Though the surprising part of all this is tha
Brenda G_____ The weekend did not go as well as planned. My mom called and asked me to go home since she wanted to discuss something urgent with me.On arriving home, I had an earful from her mainly scolding me about picking a fight with Lance. She told me about the benefits of being in Lance's good books and the disadvantages of disobeying the stupid man. I had to listen to her lectures the entire day. At some point, I nearly passed out.At the end of the conversation, she made me promise never to go against Lance. Of course, I agreed but deep down I was cooking up a plan that would ensure Lance's downfall.The weekend gushed by and Monday was here once again. I was seated in class next to Dulcie who was sick the last few days but she looked better than I had last seen her. Her condition seemed to have improved."I'm freezing," Dulcie whispered to me. I couldn't get why she claimed to be freezing and yet it was a sunny day."You didn't fully recover," I placed my hand on her forehe
Jake William_____I furiously tore off the sheet of paper and crumpled it then shoved it on the carpeted floor. My hand reached for the remote control which was lying beside me on the bed, then threw it across the room. The electronic shattered upon impact, resulting in a deafening sound.I wanted to break everything, especially the TV screen which was currently airing the news about my company's state. I hopped out of bed and commenced pacing back and forth in the room while raking my tousled hair.Fury was surging through my being as I watched the news about an accident that had occurred in JW SHIPPING. CO earlier in the day, leading to loss of workers' lives. The accident was a result of a gas leakage which triggered a fire outbreak. The accident not only led to a loss of lives but also, the damage of millions' worth' equipment. This kind of loss impacted the shareholders and investors who had been calling me all evening mainly to talk about their withdrawal from JW SHIPPING CO.T
Brenda G_____An undeniable scepticism consumed me for the past week. I couldn't shake off the feeling that something intimate had happened between Jake and me.I kept having blurry flashbacks of him and me entangled in an embrace as we danced and laughed. He was so close to me, I could feel the scorch of his minty breath on my face. My body was pressed on his so romantically one would have thought that we were romantically involved.What is wrong with me? Am I losing my mind?I scolded my haunting thoughts as I strolled to the Biology class that morning. When I arrived, I was stunned to find that most of the students were not in. My eyes scanned the area in an attempt to locate Jake but I couldn't find him. Suddenly, I saw Sam approaching. A cordial smile was plastered across his face."Hi, Brenda." Sam greeted me."Hi. Wait, am I in the wrong class? Where are the rest? ""Probably on their way. Hey, the chemistry professor has been asking for you." He stated."Why? Did I do somethi
Brenda G_____"Why are we here?" I was beyond surprised when the car halted at the place that I least expected. Jake on the other hand was grinning widely. "Jake, why are we here? " I inquired once more but he remained quiet. Instead, he unbuckled his leather safety belt and opened the door."Do you intend on killing me and throwing my corpse in this river?" I pointed out. But he just chuckled while opening the passenger door for me."Come on, if I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago. I would have probably suffocated you with a pillow and then tossed your corpse in the bathtub."I gasped in shock, " You wouldn't dare Jake William! Because if you do, Gg will kick your ass." I scoffed while stepping out of the car."Who is Gg?""He's my pet camel and he can kick ass pretty good." I challenged him.He broke into laughter, "Are you seriously threatening me with a camel?""Yes." I crossed my arms to my chest. "What's so funny about that?" I growled."The funny part is that a
Brenda G_____"Girl, Sam has a crush on you. He really likes you. Haven't you seen how he keeps giving you those dreamy looks?" Dulcie murmured while chuckling."No. Sam doesn't like me in that manner. He and I are just friends." I responded while strolling through the busy hallway.I could feel it in her voice, she was trying so hard to act cool. I knew so well that she loved Sam so badly."Keep telling yourself that. When we both know that Sammy clearly has a thing for you." She rolled her eyes."Dulcie, even if Sam likes me, I don't feel the same way about him." I sighed."Why? Is it because you have feelings for my cousin?" She wiggled her eyebrows suspiciously.My eyes bulged as the pace of my heartbeats picked up, "wh-at? Why would I like your cousin? I mean, he and I are obviously enemies." I blabbered the words while fighting to control a blush.At the mention of Jake, my mind drifted off to the river. A place where I nearly let him kiss me. He nearly claimed my lips, somethi
Brenda G____ That evening, I was sprawled on the bed reading a steamy romance novel which had me heated up, especially the lovemaking scenes. I was clad in a crop top which barely covered my belly and a pair of denim booty shorts. My bouncy hair was lazily crocheted.'Cepheus hooked his finger at the waistband of her crimson knickers and slid them down her thighs, thus exposing her dampened womanhood. Cleopatra's body temperature spiked the moment Cepheus' finger caressed the sensitive flesh of her womanhood...'My heart was racing furiously as I read the erotic paragraph. I pressed my legs together in an attempt to calm my throbbing core. For a moment, I imagined that Cepheus was Jake and I was Cleopatra. I closed my eyes as imaginations took over my brain. All of it felt so real, the kisses, the caresses... the texture of his fingers on my skin.Brenda snap out of it!My eyes shot open and I swiftly sat up in bed. I needed to stop thinking about Jake. He was not what I was thinkin
