“Reyna!!” Niko yelled from the sitting room.It was the date yet and his grandfather had called him more than five times now. Reyna was inside her room, dressing up like she said. And he was getting impatient already.“Can you please come down?“ he yelled out again.“I’m coming!” He heard her reply to him before hearing the door open.His eyes dashed up as he waited for her to arrive. Immediately she showed up, his heart skipped a beat as he gazed at her. There was this princess look on her face, her hair packed in a ponytail with a black purse in her hand. His eyes travelled down her gown and it made his throat hitch out to say something. The blue gown was fitted from the upper part, protruding the breast part of the dress but became a flair after her waist, stopping after her knees. As she stepped down, the frontline of the dress became more visible to him, it was cut on her chest but covered down to her wrist.“Like what you see?” She winked at him as she turned around in front of
They all started eating after the little taunt but Nicholas' eyes were on both of the couple. Reyna faced her food, while Niko did the same.“So tell me about yourself young girl..” Nicholas spoke up as Reyna raced her head up to meet his eyes.“I’m a finalist in my university. I have a younger brother who is currently not feeling fine and my parents are no more.” She replied with a small smile at the corner of her lips.Niko reached to hers and squeezed it tightly, making Reyna look at him and smile. Nicholas' eyes did not skip this little moment and noted it down to himself.“I'm sorry for that.” He butt in as he looked at Reyna.“It’s nothing. I’ve gotten over it.” She replied with a small laugh before continuing with her food.“How did you guys meet?”he asked again.Reyna gulped down at this question, she and Niko had practiced it over and over again, not wanting to miss a detail or make the man suspicious.“I was having some issues with my uncle and he helped me with it. And afte
It was a Monday morning and Reyna’s alarm had just disrupted the whole room. She fluttered her eyebrows before finally opening her eyes. Stretching and yawning on the bed, she turned to the other side before finally remembering it’s Monday morning and she had the grumpy teachers class this early morning.“Ahhhh!” She shrieked as she sat on her bed.She checked the time only to find out that it was already some minutes past seven. She quickly said her short morning prayer before peeling her clothes off her body and making her way towards the bathroom. Packing her hair into a high ponytail, she took her brush and started scrubbing her teeth, moving the brush to different parts of her teeth. She rinsed her mouth after brushing her teeth before turning on the warm part of the shower and allowing the water to do its cool, bristling thing on her body as she kept on scrubbing her body. Her mind went back to the late dinner at Nikos grandfather's house. After the issue with Lena, everything b
Reyna rushed out of the class at the end of the day.“Wait up!” Larissa called out.Reyna stopped in her tracks before turning to face Larissa. It felt like ages that the both of them had talked and she couldn’t even figure why.“How are you doing?” Larissa asked.“I’m good. It seems like ages that I’ve seen you. What’s wrong?” Reyna asked with cocked brows.“I’m tired, exhausted and drained! My partner knows nothing about our project, and I have to do everything alone! And he won’t even show up, nor say anything. He’ll just be there, chatting away, or eating or doing things…” she yelled out before Reyna cut her off.“Have you eaten?” Reyna smiled at the passersby.Larissa yelling has drawn their attention and now she has to keep smiling at them.“Nope! I’m also hungry!“ she shrieked before walking away.Reyna sighed, hearing her stomach grumble, she decided to take Larissa to the restaurant and eat as well.“Wait up!” She called out.*********“Thank you. I feel like my brain is cool
Chapter 74“Wow!” Alan exclaimed as his eyes roamed the house.Niko has sent the driver to come and get them at the hospital and she had brought him home. Even though she has tried to preach to him in the car not to be really dazed and should act normal, he still ended up exclaiming out for everyone to hear.“You’ve been living here Reyna! This is real shit!” He cursed out.“Language.” Reyna chastised.“Don’t worry. But this place is so beautiful!” He exclaimed again before moving towards the entrance.Reyna rolled her eyes at the way he was acting before packing the things out of the car. Bowing down to the driver as a sign of respect, she closed the door before making it to the door. “This is so beautiful Reyna. This family has a lot of money..” he added again as his eyes shone in happiness.“Just wait till you see inside.” Reyna raised her brow at him before pressing the passcode and the door opened.“Wow! This is so nice. Technology, I like it!” Alan muttered to himself as he wal
“What’s wrong with Niko?” Alan immediately asked Reyna after her statement.“Nothing. He’s fine. I just want to talk about some things with you.” She replied as her hand traveled to his laps.“Do you like him? Are you okay with him?” She asked, a look of concern on the corners of her face.“Of course!” Alan half yelled as a smile lit up his face.“He’s just like the big brother I never had. He’s nice and thoughtful, he has lots of money. And most importantly he’s nice, he got me a tab just because I survived my operation. I don’t want to imagine the whole lot of things he’ll have got you.” Alan added.Reyna smiled at this, wondering if all he said was true. Although she and Niko might have started on the wrong foot, there’s no point lying that he wasn’t nice and not a gentleman. Like the time he got her food in the hospital, or the occasional waking her up to go to school, to not miss that, to take her to the hospital. Everything amounts to something.“Of course he is very nice. I’m g
“We’re here.” Dylan said as he killed the engine of the car.He turned to see Reyna fast asleep beside him. Her head that rested on the car seat was almost at the edge. He tapped her gently as she fluttered her brows before seating up again.“Ohh. I slept off.” She said as a yawn escaped her lips.Reyna did not get enough rest from the other night because she was bothered about her brother and Niko and also about her project.“Let’s go.” Dylan spoke out as he opened the car door.Carrying her bag off her laps, she opened the door and came out with a leg first before finally pulling all her body out of the car. The sun rays hit her eyes making her close it a bit before opening it back.“We’ll be going to the third floor, I think they have the things we require.” Dylan told her before they both made their way towards the building.As they got to the security checkpoint, they bowed down to them and opened the gate for them without questioning who they are or where they were from.“Is th
“Is Reyna home yet?” Niko asked as he entered the house.Going to the office everyday, and coming back to meet Alan seated in front of the television or pressing his iPod was the best view. It made him look like a father, something he wasn’t ready for and at the same time ready for. Reyna would be the first to get home but would lock herself in her room, the sound of machines revving throughout the house, and some music also in the air.She was dealing with her project and really needed to focus on it. As he walked in with a tired look on his face, Alan gave him the same answer he always got;“Yes, she’s busy.” He replied.He raised his brows and sighed before collapsing on the chair. Alan looked over at Niko and noticed how tired he looked,“What’s wrong with you?” He asked.“I’m just tired.” Niko retorted.A yawn escaped his lips before he finally carried his suitcase and walked up the stairs to his room. They still had three hours before dinner, he should take a nap and then come t
