Chapter 46 & 47 : James and Naomi (I)
James continued to stare at Naomi, Alex saw this and used the book on his table to cover her eyes because the sight of Naomi drooling made his blood boil.
“Thank you James, you can go sit” The Manager said and leaves the class giving them the time to bond.
James frowned at Alex’s reaction and went to sit on the seat beside Naomi which meant she was in the middle of two guys.
Naomi removed the book from her face and gave Alex a questioning look in which he ignored and put his headphones on.
Naomi rolled her eyes and faced James.
“Hi and Welcome to Crystal high” Naomi said with a bright smile in which caught James attention.
“Thanks, am James and you?” James asks.
“Naomi” She answered.
“Such a lovely Name, you aren’t from around here are you?” James complimented and asks noticing her body color.
“Thanks and am a Nigerian. Well half Nigerian and Half American. Dad was Nigerian, Mom was an American” Naomi said as James admires the way she speaks with a smile.
“OOH, I saw the way the guy sitting beside you acted earlier. Your boyfriend?” James asks Naomi hoping for a No answer.
Alex was also waiting for an answer, he was listening to their conversation through his headphones, No music was playing.
Naomi glanced at Alex with her side eyes. She didn’t know what they are, they kiss, hold hands and act like a couple or maybe she is the only one who thinks that.
“Not my Boyfriend” Naomi answers truthfully.
James didn’t know when he released a sigh of relief.
Alex felt a pang of hurt in his chest when he heard Naomi’s reply and puts on the music to avoid hearing any other words that might give him that sting in his chest.
Andy watched the three of them closely and seeing what was going on, he frowned knowing what happened 3 years ago is about to repeat itself and he needed to do something about it quick.
Naomi and James were talking and laughing which got Alex annoyed because he could still hear them through the music.
Dylan and Mickey were watching tiktoks on Dylan’s phone as Dylan would steal kisses from her once in a while.
Andy had removed his eyes from them and was now listening to songs with Favor on his phone like they did the first time.
Mar, Mary( the girls band mate) and Dami were having small talks as Mark tells Dami all about the school.
Alex was getting really annoyed by their laughs and as he was about to snap at them, a teacher walked into the class and started teaching cutting short all the activities that they were doing.
ALMOST AN HOUR LATER
THE BELL RINGS FOR LUNCH BREAK
Alex turned to Naomi to ask her if they could have lunch together.
“Uhm Naomi” Alex called and Naomi faces him, James saw that and quickly ask.
“Naomi can you show me around? Please” James asks pouting at Naomi.
Naomi laughs at how cute he is pouting and accepts, seeing her reply James pulls her to the door but she quickly faces Alex.
“We’ll talk later Alex” She said before she was out the door.
Alex felt very hurt but hid it with his expressionless face, Andy saw this and felt pity for Alex.
Alex was always the unlucky one in love just like Adriana.
Alex already lost his appetite so he raises the music to the loudest volume, resting his back on the chair he closes his eyes.
Andy shook his head and headed to the cafeteria.
Naomi could be seen waiting in a line to order her food, she was famished. It got to her turn and she ordered 2 Orders of Fries and chicken for her and James.
After receiving the order the rushes to the table James was, giving him his food she devours hers hungrily.
“Slow down” James says but she ignores.
All the band mates sits on the table where Naomi is except Alex, Naomi wonders why.
.“Uhm Andy, where’s Alex?” Naomi asks.
“In the Class” Andy says with all his focus on his food.
“I’ll go check on him” Naomi says and rushes out the cafeteria, James frowns and makes up an excuse to follow Naomi.
Naomi enters the class and sees Alex with his headphones on and eyes closed like he was asleep.
She slowly saunters towards him, bending in front of him, she uses her fingers to trace his eyebrows, to his eyes, to his long girly eyelashes then nose and finally HIS LIPS.
Unconsciously Naomi pecks him on the lips, seeing what she has done she stands up and turns to leave but was dragged back by her arm making her seat on the table connected to the chair.
Alex was now awake looking at her in the eyes.
“You have to finish what you started” Alex says making Naomi gulp.
Alex leaned in, Naomi closes her eyes as their lips meet, sucking, biting, licking were done as Alex slowly stands up and comes to the middle of Naomi’s leg without breaking the kiss.
He slips his tongue into her mouth and Naomi welcomes it with her tongue.
Their tongues fight for dominance as the kiss got hotter and this time with no one to stop them.
Alex wraps his hands around Naomi’s waist while the other holds her cheek, slowly his hands move upward and cup her right boobs squeezing it gently, he squeezed again, he loved the softness.
Naomi released a soft cute moan, that made Alex run mad in pleasure.
James was lost since it was his first day in the school, he was about to walk past a class when he heard a moan, he ignored it and took a step forward but something was dragging his attention there.
James walks towards the door and through the glass on the door he looked in and what he saw made his face darken with no emotion displaying in his eyes and left his mouth with a bitter taste.
Chapter 48 & 49 : The Kiss/ The Fight
James saw Alex and Naomi as they did their business, He could feel jealousy burning in and quickly left before he does something stupid.
Naomi broke the kiss and stared at Alex whose hands were still on her boobs pressing it gently, Naomi closed her eyes at the warmth of his hand on her boobs.
The bell rang and Naomi pushed Alex away and jumped of the table running out of the clawhat.
Alex Chuckled but it quickly disappeared the moment Mickey and others entered the class.
Naomi was in the toilet washing her face trying to reduce how red her cheeks were though she wasn’t fair, it was still visible.
She sighs and started blushing hard the moment she remembered the kiss, she washed her face one more and walked out of the toilet bumping into James who saw her and immediately tried walking pass her.
“James wait up, what happened” Naomi asked but James kept looking at her swollen lips, he fumed inwardly as he remembered the kiss and was cut out of his trance by Naomi’s Voice.
“James, what’s wrong??” Naomi asked and seeing James expressionless face, she starts to tickle him.
“UHH Naomi stop, hahaha” James laughs as Naomi tickled him but she refused to stop.
“Naomi, I swear if you continue, I gonna pee in my pants” James said laughing hard.
Hearing that, Naomi stops and pouted before bursting out laughing.
“You ganna do what? Pee?” Naomi asked as she ran towards the class singing.
“James gonna pee.
James gonna pee” Naomi sang as she ran to the class with James running after her trying to stop her from singing.
Other students looked at them weirdly.
Naomi entered the class still singing and as she was walking to her seat singing quietly, James suddenly enters and drags her to him caging her on the wall with his palm around her mouth looking into her eyes.
Alex saw this and fumed inwardly, standing up to go meet them but was stopped by Andy who didn’t want Alex to start a fight and get in trouble.
James stared at Naomi with his heart beating hard, he fell for her hard when he arrived few hours Ago.
He stared at her from her eyes, to her Pointed Nose, then her lips.
Naomi started to feel uncomfortable the way he was staring at her, other were watching wanting to know what would happen next.
James suddenly slammed his lips on hers and at that moment Alex lost it, he walked towards them pulling James away from Naomi and then landed a punch on James face.
James retaliated and a fight broke down, Naomi suddenly screamed.
“STOP!!!!” She screamed as Alex landed a punch on James face before leaving him, walking towards Naomi and tried dragging her out but Naomi snatched her hands from his before they could get to the door.
She looked at both Alex and James and stormed out the class angrily, Mickey and Favor stood up from their seat and followed her out.
Dami just chuckled jealously because she couldn’t believe 2 guys were fighting over Naomi.
Alex looked at his hand that Naomi snatched hers our off and stormed out of the class going home immediately.
Dylan and Mark rushed to Andy.
“Is Alex in love with Naomi?”
“Am I blind or did James kiss Naomi just on his first day?”
“Why did Alex Punch James because of a Kiss”
They asked all at once.
Andy only chuckled.
“This is not good” He thought.
Chapter 50 & 51 : The Sleepover
Naomi Stormed out of the class angrily with Mickey and Favor behind her trying to cool her down before she does something stupid, As usual Naomi tries to hold back her tears and this time she did successfully.
“Naomi wait, wait”Mickey and Favor called out to her and she stops.
“Babe chill, no reason to get so mad” Mickey said panting because Naomi was a fast walker when she is angry and Mickey and Favor literally had to jug to catch up to her.
“Why didn’t you push James away?” Favor asked and Mickey glared at her for bringing up the kiss but Favor just shrugged at the glare.
“I was caught off guard” Naomi said calmly.
“You got 2 guys who got feels for you” Mickey cooed and Naomi blushed.
“I don’t know about James but Alex doesn’t like me” Naomi said truthfully according to her thoughts.
Mickey and Favor looked at her like she’s gone Coo-Coo.
“You tryna say Alex doesn’t like you? Girl are you blind?” Favor Said with one brow up.
“Girl if he doesn’t like you then he wouldn’t have reacted to you and James kiss but he did, he fought for you girl” Mickey said the obvious.
Naomi bit her lower lip and blushed heavily, releasing her lips she smiled.
“I don’t believe you girls, Alex is just uhm….” Naomi didn’t know what to say so she covered her face and ran all the way to class with Mickey and Favor running after her and cooing.
Naomi was about to enter the class but encountered Cherry and beside her was DAMI.
“Enjoy it while it lasts, Alex is mine and mine alone” Cherry said and walked off.
Dami didn’t follow her though, she entered the class without looking at Naomi.
Naomi rolled her eyes at what Cherry said.
Naomi walked into the class looking around, she spotted James, Dylan and Andy but Alex was no here to be found.
Naomi walked to her seat without glancing at James.
“Naomi I am so sorry, he punched me first and I had to retaliate. I am so sorry Naomi” James apologized in a rush.
“Its okay James, I forgive you” Naomi said accepting his apology.
“Thank you Naomi” James said with a huge smile on his face.
Andy looked at both of them and sighed.
Please James, Don’t in love with Naomi just the way Nathaniel did with Adriana Andy said in his mind looking at James and Naomi laughing.
Naomi, Favor, Dami, Mary (their band mate) and Mickey got down from their respective cars and started walking into the house.
Mickey came to the house because they are having a sleepover both boys and girls.
Soon after Car Honks were heard and Dylan, Andy , Mark and JAMES came down from their respective cars.
“Whats James doing here?” Favor whispers to Mickey.
Mickey shrugged.
This is not good Mickey thought as the boys walked towards them.
Immediately the boys reached them, Dylan slipped his hand by Mickey’s waist.
“Baby, what’s up? Come on lets go in” Dylan said and soon they both walked in.
Dami walked in with Favor, Mary and Mark after.
Naomi and James stared at themselves for a while without breaking eye contact.
, Andy saw this and quickly thought of a way to break the eye contact.
He slipped in between them putting his around their shoulders.
“Let’s go have some fun guys” Andy said and dragged them .
As soon as they entered Mickey rushed to Naomi.
“Let me go settle my luggage in one of the guests room baby” Mickey said and Dragged her up the stairs.
Night came, the boys were in the parlor playing games except Alex who was in his room while the girls were in the kitchen cooking except Dami who was only there to taste the food. Favor was making Some rice.
Mickey and Mary were making juice to settle with the rice while Naomi was making the sauce.
Naomi was through making the sauce but still left it on fire to steam, Dami walked to her and stretched her hand to taste it but her hand was hit by Naomi who glared at her, Dami gulped and blinked repeatedly.
“Come on sis, just one taste please” Dami said making puppy eyes to Naomi.
Mickey and Favor stopped what they are doing and stared at Dami in shock wondering if they heard wrong or did Dami just call Naomi ‘SIS’
Favor walked up to Dami and put her hand on Dami’s forehead to feel her temperature but removed her hand feeling nothing.
Mickey raised a brow towards Favor.
“She isn’t hot or feeling sick” Favor said understanding Mickey’s raised brow.
Dami rolled her eyes.
“I am just trying to change for the good, is that a problem?” Dami said rolling her eyes and turned to Naomi.
“I am sorry for all I have done, Mrs Nate talked to me about changing and since step mom moved out to another house Mrs Nate prepared for her, I decided to change” Dami apologized looking down not able to look Naomi in the eyes.
Naomi was surprised at first but soon pulled Dami into a hug.
“All is forgiven” Naomi said and tried to pull out of the hug but was pulled back into the hug by Mickey and Favor who joined the hug.
“Wise decision Sis” Favor said feeling so proud of Dami’s change.
They all returned to their cooking but this time dami joined Favor in parboiling the rice, Soon dinner was ready and was arranged on the table by the girls.
“Boys, Dinner time” Mary shouted with her tiny girl voice.
“Men I am hungry but first who is the owner of that beautiful voice” Mark said and looked at all girls.
All girls pointed at Mary who was blushing.
“Hey beautiful” Mark said and winked making Mary blush more.
“Mark stop it, don’t make her face as red as a tomato” Favor said rolling her eyes.
“I can’t do that but I can make her Mine” Mark said and settled down on a chair.
All the boys cooed making Mary blush more.
They all settled down and were about to start eating when Andy stopped them.
“What bro, why did you stop us?” Dylan asked groaning frustratedly because he was damn hungry.
Andy ignored him and turned to Naomi.
“Can you please go Call Alex for dinner” Alex said.
Naomi wanted to refuse but received an eye signal from Mickey daring her to refuse, Dylan saw this and chuckled at how crazy his girlfriend can be.
James was quiet the whole time.
Why must she be the one James thought jealously.
Naomi stood and went upstairs to Alex room.
“What are you planning Andy?” Mark asked him suspiciously.
“Nothing” Andy said feigning innocence.
Naomi walked till she got to Alex room, She knocked but no response was heard, She knocked again and again but still no response.
She walked in but there was no one in the room, soon she heard sounds of water from the bathroom.
He’s in the bathroom Naomi thought and sat on the bed waiting for him to be done, Soon after, sounds weren’t heard anymore and Alex walked out of the bathroom.
Naomi looked up at him and used her eyes to trail his abs, muscles and packs and didn’t know when she started drooling.
Alex felt a presence in his room and looked towards the bed spotting Naomi.
“Take a picture, it lasts longer” Alex said and Naomi broke out of her trance.
Alex walked into his walk-in closet and came out few minutes later wearing a baggy sweat pants and a white top to go with it.
“What do you want” Alex asked.
Naomi who was feeling flushed and nervous started to stutter.
“I I I uhm.. ca uhm..” Naomi stutters and Alex made her worse by walking slowly towards her.
“You what?’ Alex said still walking towards her.
Naomi couldn’t talk because her back already hit the wall and she was caged between Alex’s arms.
Alex brought his face closer to hers and Naomi immediately got intoxicated by his scent and was lost in his greyish blue eyes“I
am sorry”Naomi heard Alex say.
Chapter 52 & 53 : The Past
“I am sorry”.
Naomi hear Alex say.
“What are you sorry for?” Naomi asks not removing her gaze from Alex’s.
“For starting her fight with James, I just got so jealous when I saw he kiss you and i… uhm..” Alex says nervously.
Naomi burst out laughing.
“Why are you laughing snow, I am in a difficult situation here I mean I’m nervous, why would you laugh?” Alex said stuttering.
“You’re cute” Naomi says with a gummy smile on her face.
Alex stops talking and looks at Naomi.
Alex was about to talk when a knock was heard.
“Are you guys like Fucking in there? If so why can’t I hear Naomi moan?” Dylan asks by the door.
“Come down for dinner” Naomi says.
“But there are girls there, I am allergic to girls” Alex says.
“Don’t worry, we’ll sit far from them” Naomi says and they both walk down the stairs hand-in-hand.
As they got to the dining..
“Finally, I was beginning to think y’all will stay there forever, we hungry over here” Mark says and groans afterwards.
Mary leans towards Mickey and whispers confusingly “.
Thought Alex was allergic to girls” She whispers looking at Naomi’s and Alex’s locked hands.
“She is his cure” Mickey says simply leaving Mary more confused.
They all settled down and ate while laughing and gisting.
Under the table were 2 interlocked hands belonging to Alex and Naomi.
Naomi was ambidextral meaning she could use both right and left hand so right now, she was using her right hand to hold Alex’s left hand and she was using her left hand to eat.
Alex squeezed her palm in his , Naomi looks towards him and Alex smiles at her, she returns the smile.
Among those who were at the dining, we have 2 people who were staring at them and caught the smile they shared.
Dami was one of those 2 people as she looked at them in Pain and Happiness at the same time.She was pained because she really had a crush on Alex but Happy because Naomi was finally happy after the death of both her parent, Dami felt a huge guilt hit her as she remembers the pain she Caused Naomi but Thankfully She apologized and Naomi forgave her.
She looked away from them and joined the Chat going on.
On the other hand, we have James who looked like he was about to blow, his jealousy was getting to the top and imaginary smoke came out his ear as he caught them smile at each other.
Andy was laughing and looks at James who was staring angrily and possessively at something, Tracing his eyes his smile drops as he saw what James was staring so much.
at“James can I talk to you for some few minutes” Andy asks James and everywhere went dead silent, laughs were dropped as soon as Andy said that.
Naomi looked at Andy face which was expressionless, Now she knew why Alex and Andy were close.
They could go from smiles to Cold within seconds.
James looks at Andy and soon they both walked out.
“What do you think they wanna talk about” Naomi asks aloud.
The girls shrugs but the boys knew exactly what it was.
“I don’t know but it looks serious” Dami says and the girls agreed.
Andy walks down the garden with James following behind him.
“Are we gonna keep walking or you gonna talk” James asks already tired of walking.
“Don’t Fall for Naomi” Andy goes straight to the point while James scoffs..
“I already did” James says and Andy face him swiftly.
“I know, get rid of it” Andy says.
“Why?” James ask but Andy goes to the bench in the garden and sits, James follows and also sat.
“There was a girl named Adriana” Andy starts.
“Don’t tell me that you are about to tell me a story, just tell me why I can’t like Naomi” James says.
“Just listen” Andy snaps.
Adriana was running down the hallway with her hair flowing after her, she was late for class.Students saw her.
It’s the beauty queen
Why is she running?
Please give me an autograph
Students commented.
Adriana ignores and soon got to class, she stopped by the door and arranged her already messy hair and uniform.
She enters and everywhere goes dead silent and all eyes were on her.
“Why are you late this time Adriana?” Mr Mark asks sighing.
Adriana was a perpetual late comer.
“Am sorry” Adriana says since she had no excuse.
“Just go to your seat” Mr Mark say and Adriana thanks him.
She walks by Alex table and Alex winks at her leaving her blushing, He made the matter worse by mouthing ‘I love you” to her.
She rolls her eyes knowing Alex type, He was a huge flirt and few months after she joined the school, he confessed his love for her but hearing the rumors of Alex being a huge flirt she turns him down and she has done that severally.
She sits on her Seat and sighs heavily.
“What happened this time girl?” Iris, her best friend asks.
“Yeah babe, you late today again” Mickey says.
“Mom happened, We partied all night only for her to wake me up by 9:35 this morning” Adriana says tiredly from all the partying.
Adriana was the only child and her mom spoilt her rotten but she wasn’t a spoilt child, She and her mom had the best chemistry ever. They weren’t rich but middle class.
“Sorry babe. I saw what happened between you and Alex few minutes Ago” Iris says and winks.
“It was nothing, Just he flirting with me like usual” Adriana says blushing.
“Babe I’ll keep telling you, Alex really loves you, he defends you whenever boys say bad about you, He cares for you. Don’t forget he was the one who bought some menstrual pad for you when you got stained and didn’t have money on you. Claim him before he ends up with someone like Cherry Kingston” Mickey says and Iris agrees while Adriana blushes.
“Don’t remind me of that embarrassing moment” Adriana says blushing.
“Too bad I don’t like him” Adriana denies.
“Keep saying it till you believe it” Iris says and focuses back on Mr Mark’s teaching.
“I don’t like Alex right?” Adriana asks.
“Iris is right, I am in love with Alex” Adriana says and sighs.
Alex, Andy, Nathaniel and Dylan walks into the Cafeteria.
They are here A student screams.
Alex, look at me
Nathaniel is looking hot today
Double A, I love you
“We love you too” Alex and Andy shouts back.
The girl who shouted that fainted and was dragged out by her friends to the infirmary Adriana was seated in the Caféteria with Iris but Mickey wasn’t there because she went to the toilet.
Adriana hears what Alex shouted and scoffs loudly in which Iris heard.
“What’s wrong?” Iris Asks.
“Are you jealous” Iris asks again winking.
“Maybe” Adriana says pouting and stuffs some fries into her mouth.
“So you admit you like Alex” Iris says.
“Yes” Adriana says lowly.
“YES” Iris shouts and all heads turn her way.
“You didn’t have to shout” Adriana says and looks at Alex locking eyes with him.
She quickly looks away.
“Are you gonna accept his next proposal?” Iris asks.
“Maybe” Adriana says.
“You better” Iris says and continue eating.
The boys settled down and soon servers came to them and took their orders.
Alex stares at Adriana lovingly and also with admiration.
Nathaniel hits his shoulder.
“Dude take a pic, it lasts longer” Nathaniel says and others laughs.
“Yeah bro, don’t kill her with your stares” Dylan says and Andy scoffs.
“See who is talking, by the way I didn’t see Mickey today” Andy says and wiggles his brow at Dylan.
Dylan blushes and faces his food which was brought few minutes ago.
Mickey enters the Cafeteria and Dylan looks up at her and started drooling.
Mickey felt eyes on her and looked towards the boys table and seeing Dylan eyes on her, she blushes and looks away quickly.Alex notices this and chuckles.
“I think she like you too” Alex said.
“Maybe she does” Dylan says and watches Mickey sit with the girls.
