Astrid Jones walked into the hallway, feeling all tired and drained. She checked her watch and it was almost one thirty five. She'd at about twenty to twenty five minutes before her afternoon shift at the restaurant begins and she couldn't afford to be late for work.Knowing how difficult it'd been for her before she was able to get that job, it was very important to her, as much as her education was to her.She pushed the door to her room open and was surprised her roommate, Sandra was still at home. She was lying on her bed, still in her pajamas and was scrolling through her laptop."Hey roomie, ya back so quick.How was lecture?" She asked her,"Exhaustedly fine." She mouthed tiredly, dropping her bag on her bed.She needed to freshen up and change into her work uniform."That's bad." The girl mumbled absentmindedly and Astrid sighed.She took off her clothes and sauntered into their small bathroom to freshen up as fast as she could.When she came out few minutes later, Sandra wasn

The next morning, Astrid woke up quite late, only to find out she was still alone in the room. Sandra hadn't returned home yet.Since her first class for the day was scheduled at nine thirty am and she'd about an hour till then, she decided to lay back in bed and probably read some books till it was time for lectures.However, her plans were thwarted when her cellphone began to ring from where she'd left it.She reached for it and picked it up, only to see it was her mother calling. Without any hesitation, she accepted the call and put the phone on loudspeaker, whilst still lying on the bed."Astrid." Came the blithely cheerful voice from the other end,"Good morning mom." She greeted,"Morning darling, how's school?" The voice asked and she sighed,"School's fine. Everything is going well, better than I'd expected.""Okay. Your dad and I wanted to hear from you, it's been quite awhile." The woman said to her,"Yeah, I've been busy with school stuffs and..." She paused, after a se

It was Saturday and since she'd nowhere else to go, she decided to work double shift and earn more cash for herself.However, working the second shift, something unexpected happened. Astrid had just served a couple and their son, who should be no less than twelve and no more than fourteen, when the boy started yelling at her, she'd given him the wrong order."Are you deaf or you have problem understanding English?" He'd scolded her, raising his voice at her,"I asked for medium cooked steak and this rubbish overcooked steak you've served me.""I'm sorry...""Don't fucking apologize! Rectify it. I want my steak half cooked." He insisted, glaring daggers at Astrid.His parents weren't helping matters too, they kept complaining and pushing the blame to her, but Astrid was very sure. The boy had ordered and overcooked steak, after he said something about not being a carnivorous animal, to be eating raw or half cooked meat. She c

Robin was anxious and agitated throughout the drive home and even when they got home."C'mon man, kill your anxiety. She's gonna call back." Cole assured him."What if she doesn't?" He questioned worriedly,"We just have two weeks....not even up to two weeks anymore.God! I'm fucked." He groaned in dire frustration, walking out on Cole.He sauntered to the mini bar and pulled out himself one of the barstool."What if she isn't interested in my proposal? What if she leaves at the last minute, like Julie did?" He asked, pulling out the half filled bottle of Hendricks and a shot glass.Cole came to him and pulled out the second barstool next to his.He took out his shot glass and poured himself some Hendricks too."You're being very pessimistic and I don't like it." He chided him after taking a gulp of the gin,"No girl in her right sense would reject your offer.You're gonna pay her handsomely and it's just for a period of two to three months. It's nothing difficult." Cole assured him,

Astrid waited for two days before she decided to call Robin. Before then, she'd called her best friend, Olivia and had relayed everything to her."I think you should call him and hear whatever proposal he has for you. Who knows, it might be a good one." She'd suggested to her.She'd take the girl's suggestions and had called him the next day. He was so glad to hear from her and scheduled all his appointments, so they could have lunch that day.She called in sick from work and after lectures, she came back home, freshened up and then, took a cab to the restaurant he'd asked her to come.When she got there, she called him again and he told her to wait. They were in a private diner, so he'd the restaurant manager go bring her in.She wasn't surprised when she saw he wasn't alone in the diner. Cole was with him too.It must be more serious than I'd thought. She thought to herself, walking towards them.She joined them on the table and after exchanging a few pleasantries, she sat down on

On the other hand, Astrid was so anxious and scared, she had no other option than to accept his proposal, one she needed the money for her tuition fee and for a new apartment. So it was like a dream come true for her but in a different way. She took her phone and passed a call across to olivia. Olivia picked after the second ring. "Hello babe, what's up" Olivia said from the other end but Astrid only kept quiet lost in thought. " If you know you called just to keep quiet you'd better hang up" Olivia said again and that brought Astrid from her thoughts. "Oh olivia, I wanted to inform you that I've agreed with him and he said he would send his lawyer to me so I can sign the documents" Astrid said and Olivia giggled without saying a word. "What's with the giggles, it's actually not funny you know' Astrid said. "It's nothing babe, come on I'm just happy for you that's all, and you'll finally have the money to pay for your fees and rent a new apartment." She said "Yeah, th

Aside from Olivia, jane is also Astrid friend, they are in same Department which is the English department. Soon Jane came in and sat close to her, making her to raise her head. "Where have you been?, I thought you'd be here before me, but turns you were going to be late" Astrid said and when Jane was about to reply, the lecturer came in and everyone went silent. The lecturer took his stand at the front of the class after dropping the books that was with him. "Your test is just around the corner, and we've not done half of what's in the scheme for this semester, so I'm going to give a group assignment, you'd work on it, and submit it next week" He said and went back to collect the book he placed on the table "I'm going to Paste the

She walked to her wardrobe and scanned for the clothes to wear, but she couldn't find any. She placed her hands on her waist and ransacked the whole wardrobe again, then she quickly saw a new dress. She got it as a gift, but hadn't worn it before. She quickly took it and placed it on the bed then took out a black low heel and her undies. She pulled her clothes and stepped into the bathroom and took her bath. She came out after some minutes with a towel wrapped around her, she walked to the dressing table and sat on it. She took her cream and creamed her body, she doesn't like makeup, so she just applied a little lip gloss on her lips and a little and rubbed a little powder on her face which is almost invisible.When she was done she walked to the bed and took her undies, she wore them before putting on the short gown. It looked so sexy on her, exp

She stood from the bed and decided to brush her teeth before going into the kitchen to fix something to eat, but she heard sounds coming from the kitchen and she stopped. **But I asked the only one in this room yesterday,.how come someone else is inside** she wondered aloud walking to the kitchen to take a look of who was there. She walked silently making sure not to make the slightest noise, her heart was beating fast as well, to show how scared she was.

She's always quiet, but seeing her reaction towards Martins, made them shocked. Like it shocked the hell outta if all of them. And the funny thing was that she doesn't care, only Jane knows what he did to her and somehow she felt he deserved more of what she's doing to him right now. The few students who had gathered started leaving one after the other, but Jane, Joanna and Martin didn't leave, they all stood there saying nothing to each other. When the tension in the air had cleared off, Jane faced Martin and sighed. "I told you to stay away from her, she won't ever look at your side, you'll only bring shame and embarrassment to yourself" she said and shook her head. "I'll never give up on her, I'll go the extra mile in getting her, I love her so much," he said stubbornly. "This w
