Geraldine slumped on the bed like a log of wood. She was pretty exhausted for the day. Although she hadn't carried out any stressful activity to make her this tired.

She shut her eyes while she enjoyed the warmth of her bed. It's hasn't been too long, but she missed her soft bed.

Her door suddenly gets pushed roughly. This act makes her open her eyes quickly, as she turns to the doorpost.

"You are back, uhm!"

She wondered how she always forgot she had a sister named Aaliyah, and how she was constantly reminded of her.

"Yes, you have got eyes," Geraldine says giving her a look. Like she didn't even knock or say Hi.

This is someone whose elder sister just got home.

"Yes, I do!" She says looking at Geraldine from her face down to her leg.

"Okay, it's over! Get out." Geraldine says now getting up, meanwhile Aaliyah stares at her unmoved.

"I wasn't the one who moved your sets," Aaliyah says looking like an innocent child.

Meanwhile, Geraldine turns to her closet immediately. Her eyes hadn't gotten there.

Typical of Aaliyah to report herself. And she never did anything for her age. Always doing things bigger than her.

Geraldine knew if she went closer, she would see some of her things broken. Only God knows the rage she would feel at that moment, and he alone knows what she was going to do to Aaliyah.

She was fond of touching and spoiling her stuff, and she always warned about it.

"Get out before I squeeze you," Geraldine says turning in her direction.

"I didn't do anything," Aaliyah says defensively.

"Aaliyah, if I get you there, I will squeeze you. Get out." She yells.

The impact was visible, because at that moment Aaliyah ran out, banging the door.

Geraldine hisses, now turning to the mirror, she unclasps her bra immediately, letting her boobs free, and graced with fresh air.

She stares at her boobs for a while, then her stomach. She found herself staring deeply into the mirror.

Insecurity came knocking at that moment, immediately she thought of him, and the way she looked.

Was she attractive enough?

Did Jayden find her attractive?

Was she his type?

Wasn't she to boyly for him.

This was the questions she asked herself. She had noticed how she had been so conscious of the way she spoke and behaved around him. She had been doing it for a while now.

____________________ 🖊️

Immediately she lets the door bang, Jewel turns to her and starts rolling her eyes. That moment they make eye contact, Ivy doesn't hesitate, she rolls her eyes back.

Jewel hisses and mutters a word under her breath, before going back to her phone, meanwhile Munachi rolls her eyes too, then walks straight to the washroom.

Whenever Jewel remembered she was back to this hole with Ivy, as she chose to call her room. She gets very upset. She wished they could all just go back to school. In school, she had her space. Ivy was out of it. It was as if, she never existed. They hardly ran into each other. She did see her in class, sometimes refractory, chapel. But she preferred it that way.

She had a lot of things in her mind. She didn't get to talk to Leo before leaving. Something she wanted to do.

She thought it was simple. Stop talking to him and get it over. But that wasn't the case. This was far from difficult. She couldn't stop thinking about him.

Her phone suddenly beeps, getting Jewel's attention. She pulls her phone close to her.

QueenOfHearts
You made the best decision in your life, it might be hurting him. But trust me, he will get over you🐒

Jewel stared at her phone, she understood what the message meant. It didn't upset her, but the monkey emoji just had to do just that.
Was she Insinuating, she was a monkey?

Jewel couldn't help but ask herself.

If she was trying to mock her and get to her, she had certainly succeeded.
Jewel being Jewel, hisses and taps to reply to her.

🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒 Like you
Buff.

She sends it after reading.

She stares at the phone which say typing, expecting a reply.

QueenOfHearts
Bitch, you take everything seriously, I didn't call you a monkey, that my favourite emoji🐒.

Jewel reads while she rolls her eyes. She responds immediately.

Bitch, who says I am mocking you, I love the emoji too🐒.

Jewels taps to send and hisses. She wasn't going to let Ekanem rub it in.

QueenOfHearts
I didn't chat you up to fight, I have this gig I am preparing for. You can play the role perfectly, I will send call you to explain everything in detail. Just drop your contact.

Jewel reads the previous chat, now sitting properly, before turning back to her phone, thinking of the perfect response to give her. They weren't friends, so she needed to know the boundaries.

I am quite expensive.

QueenOfHearts
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jewel stares at her phone partially provoked, wondering if Ekanem had just sent her piles of laughing stickers. Assuring herself, Ekanem must be mad.

____________________ 🖊️

Jewel concentrates on her food, while her grandma complains about the pandemic. The only person absent from the table was her Dad. He was in town, but currently not at home. He had been working from home, since companies with large numbers of staff, were asked to stop operating.

Jewel had noticed her grandma hadn't been in the best mood, since she got home. She didn't know what was wrong and didn't ask, she only observed.

"Whatever you kids do, always wash your hands properly and regularly. " April suddenly says.

Jewel spares her a glance, before turning to her food.

"To think she and that criminal got married without informing me is devastating enough. Fisayo has always brought shame to be our family, what more couldn't I expect." Grandma blurts out in rage.

Jewel and her siblings not to exclude Ivy had to turn to her. They were confused.

"Mummy, the kids." Jewel watched her Mum say, clearly trying to claim their grandma, reminding her they were present.

To Jewel, it wasn't necessary. They weren't kids anymore. And there was nothing hidden under the sun.

The only thing Jewel didn't understand was why Grandma hated Ashley's Dad so much.

"How could she?" Grandma lament. "Have you forgotten what that man did? He ruined our family. Ashley was understandable. She was naive and stupid. But Nicole, she knew right and wrong when she let herself get pregnant by that criminal. Now she is pregnant again. Not just that, she got married to the same man, who was part of her Dad's ruin. What sort of child is that?" Grandma says, all this while, Jewel listened attentively.

"Jayden, Jason, Jewel, Ivy! Take your food up..., "

"Let the children be." Grandma cuts there mum off. "Sometimes I wonder if I really gave birth to that child. Now she is having a third child with the same man."

"It was a quiet wedding. Since she has been married before." April says making Jewel wonder what she was trying to prove. And which side she was in this issue.

"Quiet wedding you call it? A wedding I didn't approve of, and she carried on with. I agree her Dad did wrong when he forced her to get married to Jasper. But he didn't deserve everything they did to him. My poor husband didn't deserve it." Grandma says. "To think Dayo took part in this, he handed his sister over to that tout."

Jewel watches her Mum and grandma talk quite lost. She really wanted to know what happened in the past. Why her grandma hated Ashley's Dad so much, why she always referred to him as a criminal.

"Babyface."

Cherish lets out a small smile, while she tries to keep a straight face. On hearing some footsteps, she drops her phone, and runs to her door, then locks it immediately.

She runs to the bed, jumps on it and picks up the phone again.

"Oh, hey!" Ashley says again staring straight at her face, making her now uncomfortable, this was the reason she didn't want to pick up the video call.

"I am missing my girlfriend." He says still staring at her.

At this moment, she didn't know what to say, how to act, or behave.

He's calling her his girlfriend was sounding weird.

"Don't you miss me?" He asks, meanwhile she lets out a small smile. She was getting used to seeing her every night before she went to bed in school.
"Cherish, your mouth isn't for fancy, don't be shy. It's not easy to have a boyfriend this hot." He teases chuckling.

She only smiles.

"How was your day?" He asks.

"It was okay." She responds.

There was nothing fun about it. It had always been this dry, she was used to staying home, and doing stuff all by herself.

"What did you do?" He asks, it was clear he wanted to keep the conversation going.

"Nothing." She responds slowly.

"Nothing?" He asks.

"Yes!" She responds slowly.

There is a bit of silence. Neither of them says a word to each other.

"Do you miss me?" He asks this time passionately.

She stares at him, speechless. She felt rather tongue-tied.

"Ogor!" He calls out and laughs, making her smile.

"Staying alone is boring." She blurts out honestly.

"Do you want me to come over?" He asks and smiles. Meanwhile, she laughs.

He was probably pulling her legs. She knew there was no way he was going to come over.

"Just close your eyes and open it. I will be there." He says and burst into laughter. Making Cherish follows suit.

"You are beautiful." He says. Meanwhile, she stops laughing.

"Ash, Ash!" Cherish hears from the background.

"I'm coming!" He yells now turning to her. "I will call back soon." He smiles.

She doesn't respond, only nods. In no time, he cuts the call.

She stares at her phone for a while, now noticing how time had run without her notice, while they were discussing.

Her phone suddenly starts ringing. She turns to it. The caller ID showed Senior Eva. She swipes it, to respond.

____________________ 🖊️

He gets up slowly, immediately he cuts the call. His Dad wasn't in town currently. His mom was always calling his attention. It was merely just twenty-four hours, and he was already tired of the house. At a point, he wanted to run to his grandma's house.

A lot of things had changed around. First, he came home to see a prostrated tummy. This only meant his Mum was pregnant even during the holidays, and he didn't notice it.

To think his parents got married and, no one hinted anything about it, till he got back. Although he knew the excuse was him being in school, and them not wanting him to get distracted.

On getting into the room, he caught sight of his mother, struggling to sit up on the bed.

"Ashley, didn't you hear me call you?" She yells with a frown.

He doesn't respond, he only stares back at her.

"Call your father immediately, tell him I said, he shouldn't come back, he should sleep there, and also forget he has a family and a pregnant wife to come back to." His Mum says, meanwhile he stares at her wondering if she really wanted him to deliver the message.

"Are you deaf?" She yells.

Since he got back, the drama had been unending. If there was one thing he wanted it was his Dad to come back and attend to her because she was exhausting him.

"Come and massage my back." She suddenly says, meanwhile he moves to her slowly. On getting there, he joins her on the bed. "Start from my neck." She says.

He starts massaging her slowly.

"Your hands are just too soft." She complains now hissing. Meanwhile, he gets a notification on his phone, making him pull it slowly.

UKEME🔥🌹
Hey Baby

He stares at the phone, wondering if it was the person he was thinking about. They hadn't spoken since she found out about Ekanem, and given him the insult of his life.

To think he and Ekanem had stopped fooling around, deep down he wondered how she found out.

Was this a trap?

UKEME🔥🌹
I miss you, can you come over, my parents aren't home?

Ashley didn't get to read it completely, just to see his phone flying in the air. He turns to his Mum, with a terrifying look.

"That phone is more important than me right?" She yells at him.

At this point he was tempted to yell back at her, telling her, he wasn't her husband.

"I am going to stay with grandma." He found himself yelling back at her instead.

"Just get out!" She yells, breaking down in tears. Now, this got him wondering what was going on with her.

The mood swings were too bad, if it was the pregnancy, then it was hitting her hard.

"Mummy." He calls out slowly, sounding like a child. He is shocked when she embraces him. "Everything will be fine." He says soothing her back slowly. It was now obvious, it was the pregnancy hormones.

JAYDEN ADENUGA
CAN I VIDEO CALL?

She couldn't help but wonder if she was reading the wrong text. Although it wasn't. This was the first message he was sending her today.

She stares at her phone for a while, anxiously tapping with her right finger.

Was she ready to talk to him?

A question she asked herself, which sounded funny because they already talked.

But this was different. Not talking in school or chatting.

If she could talk with him face to face, then they could do this. She assured herself.

She really needed this self-assurance.

07065834567

She found herself sending her private line.

She stares at her phone while it read seen.

It showed typing for a while but stops. Making her more anxious.

Suddenly her tablet starts ringing, she picks immediately.

"Come online on WhatsApp!"

That voice sent chills to her body. It was him.

She didn't get to respond when the call gets cut.

She found herself hurrying to WhatsApp.

It didn't take long, it starts ringing. Geraldine assures herself there was no need to get anxious. He was just any boy, she could talk to.

She taps on her screens, while she licks her her dry lips.

Immediately he appeared on her screen, her heart almost skipped a beat.

"Hello."

It was him, she tries to assure herself, even though it sounded ridiculous.

"Hey." She says smiling at him.

"Hey." He responds. There is a small silence, as they stare awkwardly at each other.

"So what are you doing?"

The fact he was struggling to keep up with the conversation, was suddenly obvious.

Was she sounding boring?

"Just here." She says her voice louder than beforehand.

"Okay."

There is another sudden silence.

"Geraldine." He calls out slowly.

She chuckles, suddenly realizing something.

"What?" He asks quite conscious. Meanwhile, she observed he just laid on his bed.

"Nothing." She lies and laughs.

"What?" He asks quite confused.

"Nothing..., " She smiles. "It's just the way you always call me by my full name, even my parents don't call me that." She says slowly.

"Geraldine?" He calls out questionably, quite confused.

"Like that." She smiles.

"You don't like it?" He asks slowly. Geraldine couldn't help but notice how he struggled to keep up with the conversation.

"No, not that!" She smiles. "I just got used to people referring to me as Gidi." She says and smiles.

"I am always different." He chuckles for the first time. "Gidi." He smiles. This was the first time, he was referring to her with that name. He suddenly stops talking and acts like he was thinking for a while.

"Dee, I prefer Dee." He blurts out. It sounded awkward, which made her smile.

"Really, just to prove. You are different?" She asks and chuckles.

"No!" He laughs.

Her phone suddenly starts ringing, which makes her put the tablet down.

"It's Jason!" She says casually, immediately she sees the caller ID.

"Who are you talking with?"

Geraldine recognised the voice, at that instance, a head pops up on the screen. It was Ivy.

"Oh, hey!" She says to Geraldine, while she settles on Jayden's laps. Geraldine didn't know why she felt like she was found of interrupting them. She was already getting comfortable with the conversation. Now or felt weird with a third party.
"Why did you guys stop talking?" She asks playfully.

Jewel stares at Nathan's message. He had just invited her to his house, which she turned down at first, but he started pleading, making it very difficult to say no.

Especially when he said they hadn't had a date, or a quiet time together. It was their first date.

Now she didn't know what to say, neither did she know what to tell her Mum.

Her mum wouldn't let her leave the house without any specific reason. Now with the pandemic going on, it would be very difficult, to convince her mom, to let her go out.

She suddenly gets a notification.

QueenOfHearts just followed you

She was beyond shocked. Ekanem had just followed her. It was shocking.

She stares at her screen. Wondering if she should follow her back immediately. But concluded, she should give it some time, not to look rather to thirty, like she would call it.

Her phone starts ringing again. Nathan was calling again, what answer did she have for him?

____________________ 🖊️

"Good morning mum!" Geraldine greets immediately her mum walks into the sitting room.

"Baby." Her mom calls out, making her throw a look at her. Her mum only called her pet names, when she was in a good mood, which was very low, it was mainly when she wanted something.

"Nicole is coming over, I need you to babysit your siblings and cousin." Her mum says.

The seriousness her mum followed the pandemic with, wasn't a joke. The nanny wasn't coming over, the only helpers at home was only the cook and gatekeeper. Which increased Geraldine's duties.

Geraldine didn't bother to hide her frown.

"Fisayo needs enough bed rest and no disturbance, Nicole is one of the disturbances." Her mum says trying to prove her point.

"No problem," Geraldine says putting down her phone.

"Please, I am begging you with everything I have got, don't kill my child before I get back."

Geraldine knew who she was referring to, and trust her, Aaliyah was going to receive it hot, if she misbehaves, and for sure she was going to. Not to forget, her partner in crime Nicole is coming over, she was going to collect, too.

Because she was surely going to join Aaliyah in her foul play.

____________________ 🖊️

Jewel swallows the lump in her throat, thinking about the best way to bring this up. Meanwhile, her mum seemed very interested in whatever Ivy was telling her, while she gets some foodstuffs out of the fridge.

"Mummy!" She calls out. A manner which she always called her mothers attention when she needed something.

She noticed, Ivy also turned to her too. She didn't appreciate her being around during the conversation. But this was her shot.

"I was just about to call your attention." Her mum says now taking a good look at her. "Come closer, why is your face like this?" Her mum asks. "Open your eyes!" She says pulling her closer.

Jewel knew what was next. It was trying to see if she had blood.

"Mummy, I am fine," Jewel says. "There is this project, I and my classmates got assigned for. I need to go to my classmate's for it." Jewel tries to explain.

"What project?" Ivy suddenly asks, reminding Jewel she was present. Meanwhile, If eyes were a gun, she would have dropped dead, at that moment. Especially with the way Jewel looked at her.

"Biology project." She responds, eyeing Ivy bluntly. Lucky enough her mum didn't notice it. Because she did it out of anger.

"Why are they still giving you all projects? You ought to be preparing for your final exams." Her mom says.

"It's for research purposes!" Jewel says dropping another lie.

"Especially with the pandemic."

Jewel would be a lair if she didn't expect that statement from her mother.

"That's by the way. I am working late today. I need you to cook the stew for dinner. Ivy will help you out with boiling the rice." Her mum says, annoying her. Making her wonder if it wasn't the same woman, she just told about a project.

"Mummy, but I told you about the project..., "

"How many hours will it take you to cook the stew?" Her mum asks with a glare. "My friend, make sure you cook, also I don't need any spicy food." Her Mum says, now walking out of the kitchen, meanwhile Jewel turns to Ivy.

"You know, it's high time you moved back to your house," Jewel says giving Ivy a look. "I am tired of you trying to paint me black in front of my mum," Jewel says, meanwhile Ivy chuckles.

"What did I do wrong? You were openly lying to your mum. Why don't you tell her the truth? That you are going to fuck a boy."

Jewel scrunched her face, meanwhile Ivy scoffs.

"Why are you giving me that kind of look. We both know you are going to fuck your boyfriend." Ivy says.

"Keep your thoughts to yourself," Jewel says and hisses. "Just mind your business, and cook your rice in peace, and I will do mine too, so I can get the hell out of here," Jewel says slowly.

"Talking like I can stand you either." Ivy rolls her eyes.

____________________ 🖊️

Ashley caught sight of him, immediately he walked into the sitting room, with this travelling bag.

"Welcome, Dad!" He says observing him carefully.

"How are you?" His Dad ask while his eyes linger on him for a moment, before looking away. "Is your mum back?" He asks, meanwhile Ashley sits up, at the same time. One of the maids greets him and takes his travelling bag away.

"Not yet. She left with Aunty Wendy." Ashley says recalling what happened. His Dad only nods his head slowly.

"Okay, I am upstairs. I don't need any disturbance, if anyone calls the house, I am not at home." His Dad says slowly.

His phone suddenly rings. He watches his Dad, bring out his phone and checks the caller ID first before responding.

"Bro, I am home, I will give an order now." His Dad says now. "What's your name?" He suddenly calls out to the same lady who helped with his bag, she was on her way downstairs. "Tell Taiwo, I am expecting the man outside, but the rules apply to any other person." His Dad says, meanwhile Ashley watches quietly.

Instead of his Dad going upstairs like he expected, he sits down, and starts tapping at his phone, meanwhile he lays on the other chair, pretending to press his phone while he observed him with an eye. He looked very serious with whatever he was doing with his phone.

There is a sudden noise, which makes Ashley lookup. The man who just walked in looked very familiar.

"Ken, Ken, Kenny!" He hails, meanwhile his Dad calls out. Ashley puts his phone down, he noticed the different tattoos visible on his body. He looked more like a gangster.

"Dayo!" Kenny calls out with a smile.

That was when it dawned on Ashley who it was. He couldn't remember when last he saw him. That was while he had such little memory.

"What about Ayo?" He asked referring to Ashley's mum.

"She is with my sister." His Dad says calmly.

"Is that Ash?" He asks teasingly.

"Good afternoon Uncle," Ashley says trying to be as humble as possible. Uncle Dayo was his mum's eldest brother, he had two maternal uncles and an aunt.

"Big boy!" He calls out smiling.

There is another sound made at the door, this makes everyone turn in the direction.

Ashley is surprised to see Jason struggling with the door. It seemed like he didn't notice them at first. Until he turns around, you could see it on his face.

"Oor oor!" He sounded so funny making such sound. Ashley chuckled.

"Good afternoon. Uncle Dayo... Uncle!" He calls now directly to Ashley's Dad, it was obvious he wasn't expecting any of them.

"Manlike J!" He calls out. You could tell it was obviously Jason's nickname.

"Uncle Dayo!" Ashley repeats looking confused.

____________________ 🖊️

Jayden stares at his phone, expecting her to come online. He didn't want to look too thirsty by calling.

He noticed he had been doing that for a while. She might have even noticed it.

He was making it too obvious, but was it the right way to go for a girl?

He had no answer because this was the first time he liked a girl who wasn't Ivy.

Also, Ivy had been the only girl he had done stuff with. They never spoke about love until recently when she told him she loved him.

With Ivy, she wanted it too. And getting a green light made it much easier. But with Geraldine, it was more like a mixed signal.

Something told him she was dating Jason, or they had something going. It was very obvious, he didn't want to try and get rejected. Because that would put a strain on their friendship.

A friendship, which just started blooming.

The loud push on his door, picks his attention, although he knew who to expect. She had a small smile on her face. The very short skirt she was putting on, sent signals to his body. She had a half-cut on. He knew, if his mum probably saw her with this, she was going to complain about it.

His mum wasn't home, same as Jewel and Jason. The only person home with aside them was grandma, the temptation was very high.

"Let's play a game or do something fun." She says while she sits on his lap. Jayden had to take the harsh breath in. Her bare soft ass wasn't just on his laps, but she placed it directly on his dick, while she moved a little.

"I am not in the mood for games," Jayden responds truthfully, meanwhile she turns to him. She gets up slowly, takes her legs across both laps, as she pushed herself on him, while his penis gave a gentle nod.

He was getting aroused slowly.

"What's going on between you and that girl Geraldine, is she my replacement?" Ivy asks.

It was how confident she looked when she asked him the question that shocked him.

"Jayden, she isn't hotter than I am, she can't kiss you the way I do, she doesn't even stand a chance where I am. She isn't even a quarter as attractive as I am, so?" Ivy says giving him a look and rendering him speechless.

"And I won't also watch her take what is mine, and always has been. Does she do this to you?" She asks now pressing her pussy on his dick. Although they were on clothes, he could feel the impact.

"I..vy!" Jayden stutters with a moan.

"Baby, I know she doesn't stand a chance, and I don't like the positions and manner I meet you both in. I would have said I have no problem if you just wanted to bang her because I know she doesn't stand a chance with me, but Jayden, I am a jealous lover, I cant." She says, meanwhile Jayden stares at her, wondering if it was Ivy talking.

She sounded different.

____________________ 🖊️

Jason text Geraldine while he tries to keep the conversation going
with Ashley. But gets caught in the conversation, when Ashley mentions Cherish.

"Even Cherish too?" Jason asks, giving him a look.

He wonders if he has just heard Ashley clearly. He was boldly asking to accompany him to Cherish house.

"Her parents won't misunderstand if you are there," Ashley says.

"Come, I don't understand, " Jason says giving him a look.

"What don't you understand there?" Ashley asks giving him a look. "I want to see my girl, what can't you understand there?" Ashley asks.

"Your girl?" Jason asks, obviously wondering when all this started.

"No now, Ashley stop this your rough play, I don't want a problem. There are other girls to play with now. This one is almost like my younger sister." Jason says defensively.

"Will you be the one to marry your younger sister?" Ashley asks playfully, before giving Jason a serious look. "She is my main," Ashley says, not minding the look Jason was giving him.

The boy looked like he wasn't having it.

"Come on, she is my main girl. I am serious with her." Ashley says slowly.

"With who? Cherish!" Jason says quite alarmed. "Do you know Cherish is thirteen abi fourteen?" Jason asks, meanwhile Ashley just keeps looking at him. "This is child abuse," Jason says giving him a disgusting look.

"It's just two years difference," Ashley says.

"And so, just?" Jason asks.

"See, you just have to follow me, that's it, I promise, I will make it up to you," Ashley says.

"To where?" Jason mocks.

"Her parents knows you very well."

"Same here," Jason says.

"Come on!"

"She is your cousin," Jason says.

"God, no! She isn't." Ashley defends. His phone suddenly beeps, he swipes it, meanwhile Jason watches him.

"I miss you too!"

That statement was from a random girl Jason had no idea of.

"Seriously?" Jason asks. "I beg you with everything dare to you, don't play your games with C..., "

"I love..., "

"Uncle, cut the crap, are you telling someone that knows you or not?" Jason rolls his eyes.

"I swear on my mother, I mean it." Ashley suddenly says sounding serious, also making Jason speechless.

____________________ 🖊️

Jewel stares at her phone, not after telling her driver, he could leave and come back to pick her, when she called back.

The estate looked like something, she could get her way with.

Feeling a warm embrace, she lets out a small smile, immediately he drops a kiss on her neck.

"See my babe." He hypes, now pulling away from her. In no time, he hold her hand, checking her out. Jewel knew she looked different in casual wear. She noted how mature he looked.

In no time, he starts pulling her alongside him.

"See her long legs!" He says and chuckles.

"Nathan!" She calls out and laughs.

"See my model!" He teases. "Walk like a goddess's baby." Now Jewel couldn't hold it anymore. She throws herself into his arms, while she burst into laughter.

Her eyes suddenly catches something, we didn't make her stop laughing but plastered her face with a big frown.

It was Leo Wachijem!

And he just threw them a glance and walked into the sitting room.

She had to make sure she wasn't seeing things or losing her mind.

Her thoughts went to different angles.

"What's wrong?" Nathan who was wondering why she suddenly changed her countenance asks.

"Was that Leo Wachijem?" She asks calmly. Her voice was very low. Meanwhile, Nathan nods his head, indicating she was right, clearly wondering why she was acting that way.

She didn't need to ask the next question.

She would be dumb if she asked that.

The resemblance

The strange yet, dominant resemblance.

She wasn't seeing things or exaggerating.

It wasn't the thought of Nathan that made her see Nathan in Leo.

How couldn't she know this?

They were related.

Now she felt like the ground should open and swallow her.

What the actual hell, had she gotten herself into?

"You both live together!" She says slowly, meanwhile Nathan gives her a look.

"Shouldn't we?" Nathan asks, quite lost with whatever was going on.

"We both stay with our mom, though he had to stay with his Dad for a while when we lost our sister," Nathan says.

Did she just hear our mum?

Jewel felt light-headed at that moment.

Nathan and Leo were freaking brother.

How was that possible?

He was Nathan Otedola and that was Leo Wachijem.

How couldn't she know?

She was freaking fooling around with two brothers. They had both kissed her, and touched her in an ungodly manner, she had even gone far with Leo, to think she was dating his older brother. It was very obvious Nathan was the eldest.

How couldn't she know this?

"I am not feeling too well, I want to go home." Jewel suddenly says surprising Nathan, who gives her a look.

"But you just got here?" Nathan asks looking confused.

"I am just not feeling well." She says trying to keep a straight face.

"Please." He pleads.

____________________ 🖊️

Geraldine stares at her phone, quite torn on what to do. Jason had finally gone offline.

They were both chatting on Facebook. She wasn't a Facebook person, but because of Jason, and the fact he said, and his rules of them chatting, alone. And not with someone else, when they were having a conversation.

In other to control that, and not to seem like she was ignoring on WhatsApp, since that was where she was based, she always charted with Jason there.

Funny enough they both turned off their chat. Someone hearing this might think they were dating or something.

To think they were never chatting about anything serious, they could go hours talking about meaningless things.

She wanted to talk to Jayden, but he wasn't online. Home was boring, and she had succeeded in making those kids sleep, what she did to them, was her top-secret, but the best part of it, was it yielded results, they were asleep. Troublesome Aaliyah was asleep.
She didn't know if calling him, would seem too much from her side.

She couldn't help but wonder if he noticed she was crushing on him. She felt she was acting too thirsty, as a girl, she felt, it wasn't supposed to be that way.

Jayden tries his best to control himself from moaning out. Ivy was also doing a great job of controlling herself.

He was currently buried inside her, and it was getting intense.

They were almost at their climax. Ivy lets out a loud moan, which alerts Jayden, while he holds himself, trying not to make a sound. He slumps on her, in no time, he goes to the other side of the bed. They both start panting heavily.

His ringtone suddenly blast in the air. He rolls to the edge of the bed and picks his phone up.

Immediately, he comes face to face with the caller ID, he felt a certain guilt from within.

It was crazy, Geraldine wasn't even his girlfriend yet, and he felt like he had messed up big time.

"Geraldina?" Ivy calls out, that was when it dawned on him, her eyes were on his phone too.

At this moment she wasn't thinking of anything else, not even getting caught.

Especially with the fact, Nathan had just stepped out to get something.

"To think I was Nathan is your brother and you still had the guts to come after me?" She sounded ridiculous, but didnt care. She lowkey felt used and deceived.

To think Leo only gives her a casual look.

"Leo, Nathan is your brother, and he is supposed to be my boyfriend," Jewel says looking frustrated. "Are you ignoring me?" She asks when he doesn't respond.

"Leo? I was your brother's freaking girlfriend, cheating on him was bad enough, but this is worst, you both are siblings, what was i thinking?" She half yelled.

"Why are you sounding like you didnt know we were brother?" Leo asks giving her a look.

She hit him on his shoulder, so rough that he groans.

"Of course I didnt know. How would I know that, and allow those things to happen between us?" Jewel says looking frustrated.

Meanwhile, Leo gives her a look of disbelief.

"Who doesn't know we are siblings" He suddenly pauses when he sees the serious look on her face. "Stop sounding like you both are married or something. You were more of my girl than his." Leo says casually.

"It's disgusting. You are disgusting." She says slowly.

"Leo!"

Jewel could swear, she recognized that voice. Turning around, she is shocked to see Munachi standing over there, looking so relaxed.

"What the fuck?" Jewel uses the f-word openly, without thinking. She slowly turns back to Leo.

She felt a tiny pang of hurt in her chest.

But Leo said he loved her, what was he doing with Munachi?

It sounded selfish, but she felt it.

Cherish couldn't hide how shocked she was to see him when she opened the door. She wasn't expecting him. She thought he was joking when he said he was going to come with Jason.

She also wasn't comfortable since she they got in. Jason had been giving her this weird look.

Her Dad had just spoken to Jason for a moment, before going to his room. He was working at home and was currently unwell, her mum, brother and Aunt Flourish weren't home.

She held onto the package Jason told his Dad, his mum had asked him to give to her.

Though it didnt seem through, and the package in it, didnt seem like what Aunt April would send, it was different chocolates and biscuits.

The atmosphere seemed awkward, as no one said a word, now Jason seemed engrossed in her novel, which he picked from the couch, when he got in.

Jewel couldn't stop thinking of what had gone down. She couldn't hide how shocked to the bone she felt.

Nathan and Leo being brothers did make her cold. She felt even Nathan might have noticed how withdrawn she was, till she left.

Immediately she sights Ivy walking into the room. Her dressing pricks her attention. She gives her a look.

She wore short things, but it couldn't b compared with what Ivy was putting on, she looked almost naked, she wanted to ignore and look away, but it wasn't in her nature.

She felt her mouth moving immediately.

"Ivy, you are almost naked." Jewel blurts out, meanwhile Ivy ignores her as usual, and walks straight to the bathroom.

"Stop walking around naked. My brothers aren't kids." Jewel says slowly. She didnt know why

Jewel on bed, recalling what happened when she signed ivy, come on there are grown boys in this house, stop exposing your body in front of my brothers.

Ivy turns in her direction, gives her an irritated look, before going to the other side of the room.

"I bet your mum doesn't know her pretentious daughter, got fucked by a boy today."

Jewel didnt know why that statement sounded offensive, maybe it was how raw Ivy sounded.

6612 WORDS🌹

I know you all was patiently waiting to see Jason's girlfriend even though 99.9% of us knows who she is

But it wont surface now.

Oh, some of us thought Jewel knew Nathan and Leo were siblings.
Jewel is a self-centred bitch, that doesn't know anything which isnt her business.

Dont be suprised, she doesnt know some of the names of her classmates. She got the hint, but thought it was because of the love she feels for Nathan and so all, blah blah bah.
