Episode 17 & 18 : Struggle with Amnesia
The kiss lasted for what felt like an eternity, their lips parting only for brief moments to catch their breath.
They explored each other’s mouths with a gentle urgency,, their tongues intertwining in a dance of passion and desire.
Emerald nibbled and sucked on Lyric’s lips, earning a little mo@n from her.
“F**k” Lyric mo@ned in pleasure. Emerald eventually broke the kiss and went below her jaw,, placing wet kisses and bites on her neck.
Lyric immediately bit her bottom lip,, feeling cr@zy sparks all over her body as he kissed her neck softly. She didn’t understand why she was feeling that way, even though she knew it was forbidden.
Lyric knew she had to put an end to it, before things spiraled even further out of control.
She shakily grabbed Emerald’s hand and removed it from her body,, carelessly flinging it aside.
“P!ss off already. We can’t.. i don’t.. Ahhh!!” Lyric abruptly stopped him,, shaking her head at how wrong the whole situation was.
“Damn. You’re even hótter when you’re fake m@d” Emerald claimed her lips again,, more hungrily and desperately this time.
As good as the kissing was, and as wonderful as it felt to have Emerald’s hands wandering all over her body, Lyric eventually came back to her senses and pushed him away from herself.
“Let go. This is so wrong” She warned.
“But we both enjoyed it right?? Well,, i’m sorry if i confused you in anyway. It’ll never happen again,, i promise” Emerald said and Lyric blinked rapidly. Did he just apologise to her?
“Stay away from me. I want nothing to do with you. What just happened between us was a mistake.. a terrible mistake. This is terribly wrong,, no,, i can’t do this to Mom..” Lyric muttered, then scurried away.
Emerald had so much on his mind that he could barely think straight,, but there was one thing that he couldn’t ignore or deny about the kiss that he shared with Lyric.
And it was that he actually enjoyed it.
⟨MORNING⟩
Lyric was sleeping soundly like a queen when suddenly, confetti rained down on her from above,, startling her awake. She smiled as she slowly opened her eyes.
“Happy birthday Lyric!!!” The girls screamed, showering her with roses and glitters.
They were mostly her course mates from college,, while others were teenage girls from her estate who were informed about her birthday.
“Guys. You remembered..” Lyric slowly sat up from her bed,, wiping tears from her eyes as she saw the streamers and balloons that her friends had hung in her room while she slept.
“Happy birthday baby boo!!!” Raspberry said as she walked in with a beautiful,, frosted cake that had a candle carved in the shape of the number 20.
The scent of sweet icing and fresh baked cake filled the room,, making everyone’s mouths water.
“Thanks so much guys!! You guy’s don’t know how much this means to me. You all deserve kisses on your cheeks. I’m glad we met in this universe. Thank you..” Lyric smiled widely.
“We too.. C’mon blow your candle, before it goes out and don’t forget to make a wish” North said.
“Wish to have a boyfriend before you grow old”.
“Wish for a new car”.
“Wish to loose your V card 🤣”
“Wish for your Prince charming to appear right in front of you before the end of this semester”.
“Wish for Happiness..”.
Lyric closed her eyes for a few seconds and opened it,, before blowing the candle and the girls screamed m@dly.
Others left for their various houses immediately Lyric blew the candle,, leaving her with Berry and North.
“Can’t believe Lyric turned 20 before me. How can you be a year older than i am..” North groaned.
“Well.. You’re lucky you remember your date of birth. Unlike me,, who only remembers her name and her grandma’s face” Raspberry muttered,, trying to fight back the tears that were battling to fall at that moment.
“C’mon. Don’t be a party pooper. Everything is gonna be fine. Sooner or later,, all your memories will come back to you” Lyric pecked her cheek and ruffled her hair like an elder sister will do to her younger one.
“The party starts in 5 hours.. Let’s get ready, we need to use 2 hours checking who’s bre@st is bigger in the bathroom,, an hour in your make up room and then 2 hours to put on our dresses. We must make everyone drool.. some people must f@int today” Raspberry said and stood up from the bed.
“But i want to have a taste of my cake first..” Lyric pouted.
“You can do that later, c’mon. For now,, listen to berry and let’s get ready” North said.
“One sec..” Lyric said and picked up her phone from her bed. She sighed disappointedly when she saw no text message from her mum.
“She left without telling me goodbye. And today, she didn’t even bother wishing me a happy birthday??” She mumbled and kept her phone before joining the girls in the bathtub.
Kingsley sat down tiredly on the floor while breathing heavily. He was sweating so much that his hair was sticking to his face,, making him look hót.
Since he woke up,, he has been exercising,, trying to cool his nerves. He hasn’t been himself this days.
Something has been running through his mind.. or it might be a certain someone 😉.
“Time to get back to work..” After taking a short break,, Kingsley was about to resume his press-ups, when the door suddenly burst open and Luxury, one of his séx toys walked in.
She was dressed to k!ll. Her blue versace gown barely covered her big @ss and full b**bs. And her heels.. they were literally heaven’s mate.
“Baby…” She smiled and threw her bag on the ground. Luxury quickly got to him and slammed her lips hungrily on his,, while Emerald’s hands squeezed her soft @ss.
She broke the kiss and knelt down on the floor,, then unbuckled his belt and unzipped his trouser,, bringing out his c*ck.
As she expected, it was long, but not fully eréct.
Without wasting time,, she shoved it into her mouth and began sucking it like a pro while using her hands to tickle his balls.
“Sh!t. F*k..” Kingsley mo@ned pleasurably and shoved his member more deeply into her mouth, nearly hitting her oesophagus. Luxury coughed and gagged but didn’t stop till he shot his cm into her mouth which she swallowed without wasting time.
Luxury licked his d!ck clean before resting her back on the chair,, then she raised her gown up,, spreading her legs wide afterwards.
It was no hassle cause she wasn’t wearing any p@nties. She came prepared.
Kingsley stared at her pink k!tty and had the urge to puke. He just wasn’t in the mood… nothing and no one has been able to turn him on for a week now.
“Get out…” Kingsley said nonchalantly and Luxury stared at him with wide eyes. She couldn’t believe her ears.
“Huh?” She muttered confusedly.
“What? I’m not in the mood. Please leave my house before i do something that’ll make you h@te me forever!!!” Kingsley shrugged.
Luxury glared at him and stood up from the chair. Without a word,, she picked her bag which laid on the floor and began marching towards the door.
“F**k you. A$$hole. Once you’re back to your senses,, you’ll come back begging…” She gave him the *F.U* finger and left,, slamming the door loudly behind her.
Kingsley dipped his hands into his already messy hair and gro@ned frustratingly.
⟨TESSA’S APARTMENT⟩
Tessa sat in front of the mirror as she did her makeup. She was putting on an extremely short gown that barely covered her @ss with a transparent top that revealed the bra she was putting on.
“I’m pretty,, way more prettier than her.. Then why her and not me?? What’s so special about her??” Tessa muttered to herself.
She turned sideways and stared at her back view before turning front. She looked at her face and her lips.
“Thought i’m not good looking,, i have a nice shape and séxy curves. Then why not me,, why her!!!!” She screamed and pushed all her breakable bottled colognes to the ground.
It shattered into pieces.
She ran her hands through her hair and picked up her phone,, placing a group call across to her friends. They picked up at once.
“Hey Tess..” Quincy said,, surprised by Tessa’s call. She never calls them,, they just go to her willingly.
“Don’t tell me you’re up to something b@d again. If it involves pushing someone off the roof and stabbing them,, count me out. You may deny it,, but you and i know you were the one that hurt Lyric. I still wonder why she didn’t report you..” Mona Lisa said,, and Tessa just hissed and rolled her eyes.
“And so? It’s not like she d!ed or anything. She brought it upon herself the very day she decided to ste@l what’s rightfully mine. Floyd is mine,, get it??” Tessa replied sharply.
“Whatever!. Just count me out of your m@dness. I’m too young to be serving times behind bars. I haven’t even graduated from college yet,, naaah” Mona Lisa said and hanged up on her. Quincy cleared her throat afterwards to ease the awkwardness in the air.
“So Tess. Do you have anything planned?” Quincy asked.
“You girls should just get ready. We have a birthday party to ruin. And make sure you arrive on time,, i can’t do this all alone. Lyric Dunlop watch your back,, the w@r has just started…” Tessa smirked ev!ly. She folded her fists tightly and gritted her teeth.
⟨AN HOUR LATER••XSCAPE CONDO⟩
Dwayne was munching on sushi, while pressing his phone with the other hand. Floyd was laying on the couch with his headset on as he typed on his laptop.
“Dude, which color should we rock at Lyric’s party?” Dwayne asked as he kept his phone and stood up.
“Let’s rock grey” Floyd said as he stopped typing too and opened his wardrobe.
“No,, a white shirt on black skinny jeans will be way more cooler. I love the color white” Dwayne said,, shaving his face while looking at the mirror.
Floyd brought out a white denim jacket and placed it on his bed. A smile spread across his face when Lyric’s face flashed in his mind.
“What’s up with that creepy smile? Don’t tell me.. lemme guess. You’re so exited to see Lyric. Even though you know her step dad doesn’t like you” Dwayne chuckled. Floyd looked away and nodded shyly.
“Hey. Uhmm. Can you teach me how to.. to.. to kiss a girl” Floyd stuttered and stood up.
Dwayne pinched his cheeks,, trying to find out if his ears were playing tricks on him. But,, they weren’t.
“First of all, are you tryna give Lyric a kiss as her birthday present. And secondly,, you just asked the right person. I know i’ve never dated before,, but i know a lot concerning this topic” Dwayne said.
“But.. i think might mess up. I’m really terrible in this trying to woo a girl kinda thing. I’ve never felt like this before..” Floyd said and blinked innocently.
“Come here, I’ll teach you!” Dwayne said and Floyd moved closer to him.
“First,, your breath. You can’t kiss a girl with a bad breath,, it might turn her off. You have to ensure you breath smiles like candy” Dwayne said, checking his teeth and tongue.
“Okay… This is how it’s gonna be. I’ll pretend to be you,, and you’ll play the role of a girl. Okay?” Dwayne said
“Okay” Floyd nodded..
“So first imagine you’re all alone with Lyric in a room. You just grab her by the wrist and slam her back on the wall, slowly. Then raise both your hands up,, caging her to the wall” Dwayne said, demonstrating it on Floyd.
Dwayne’s both hands were on the wall, caging Floyd as he gave him free tutorials..
“Then the next thing is for you to have a cool.. but yet n@ughty smile. Stare deeply into her eyes and make sure she’s in the mood. About your lips,, you lick it and smack it so loudly that her attention will be shifted from you to your séxy lips” Dwayne continued,, doing exactly what he was explaining.
Floyd just nodded, paying full attention.
“Then you lean close like this,, not breaking the intense stare” Dwayne said, leaning closer to Floyd.
“And then you just-“.
The door suddenly swung open and a maid came in. She wanted to clean the room,, since she suspected that Dwayne and Floyd must have left.
She abruptly stopped on her tracks when she saw them in that weird position. She quickly looked away and bowed.
Both Dwayne and Floyd blinked severally, staring at her and the maid just remained still.
“Sorry for interrupting, Boss. I thought you must have left. I apologise for barging in that way. You may get back to what you were doing” She bowed again and left.
“Hey. Wait… wait!! It’s not what you think!!!” Floyd and Dwayne chorused.
⟨DUNLOP RESIDENCE••1PM SHARP⟩
The whole mansion was booming with music here and there as the students came in. All of them looking pulchritudinous in their own way.
Some were dressed cutély and handsomely while some were dressed b*tchily and their faces looked as if they were ran over by a make up truck.
Inside the huge living room,, a HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYRIC was pasted stylishly on the wall. Almost immediately,, Floyd and Dwayne walked in.
“They came??”
“It’s Xscape”.
“F**k,, they’re so handsome!!”
“Floyd never dissapoints. He’s so hót”.
“Dwayne marry me!!!”
“A night in Dwayne’s bed is all i dream for”.
Floyd sighed. Just the thought that Lyric might not feel the same about him was k!lling him inside.
“How does it feel like to be at your crush house?” Dwayne teased.
“Can you not do this. C’mon!!!” Floyd rolled his eyes.
“Let’s go and sit there” Dwayne said and they went to an empty table with girls drooling and taking pictures of them.
They ordered a few drinks and chatted as they waited for the party to begin. Dwayne looked at the entrance and his mouth dropped to the floor when his eyes landed on North and Raspberry who were just entering.
He nearly undressed North with his hard gaze.
“F**k. What is she wearing!” His mind screamed.
Floyd traced his line of sight and his jaw dropped to the floor too.
Raspberry was busy discussing with North as they walked in. They were putting on a tight purple gown that exposed their beautiful curves and they dyed their hair purple,, letting it drop freely on their back.
“Hey guys!!” Berry said when she got to them.
“You look stunning!!!” Floyd complemented and both of them smiled.
“Thanks hot stuff” Raspberry said and took a seat beside him,, while North sat beside Dwayne.
“Hi” She waved shyly and he waved back with a smile.
Immediately Dwayne turned back to look at North, she was busy munching on the cupcake she saw on the table.
“North??”
North turned to him with wide eyes and stains of chocolate and strawberry crumbs on her lips. Dwayne chuckled when he saw her face.
“Lolzzz. You look like a kid who got caught stealing cupcake” Dwayne said and brought out a handkerchief from his pocket, then began wiping her lips for her.
“It’s better now. I forgot to tell you.. you look good by the way” Dwayne said and flashed her a smile. She jolted on her spot as she stared at him.
“Happy birthday Lyric”.
“Happy birthday Lyric”.
People kept greeting as she walked in and Lyric warmly welcomed them while smiling.
Floyd began staring at her. She was putting on a purple fitted off shoulder gown with black heels and her long hair fell freely on her back and she had a light makeup on.
She was looking cute, s*xy and hót at once.
There was a huge table for gifts,, and it was filled up to the brim already. Almost as tall as Mount Everest.
Floyd stood up and began to approach her. Lyric just smiled,, and was about picking up a pineapple juice box,, when she was suddenly pushed from behind.
She landed roughly on the floor,, crashing into the side dishes and cupcakes. Of course,, she raised her head up only to see Tessa and her minions glaring at her.
“Lyric…” Both Raspberry and North yelled,, about to ran to her aid,, but Dwayne stopped them. He knew a brawl will arise if he let them go.
“Don’t. Floyd will handle it..” He said, and if looks could k!ll,, maybe Tessa and her minions will be 10 feet’s below with the scowls they were receiving from everyone.
“The queen of bullying is here..”
“I wonder who invited her”.
“Damn it. She’s so annoying”.
“Happy birthday,, Lyric..” Tessa scoffed and catwalked in,, acting like she owned the place. She stared at the cupcakes and thrashed them one by one.
“Yuck. This is gross…” Quincy tasted the strawberry cupcake and spat it on the floor,, messing it up.
Lyric managed to get herself back together and was about to stand up,, when two figures appeared in front of her.
“Grab my hand,, lemme help you” Emerald and Floyd said in unison.
Lyric stared at both of them with dilated pupils.
Episode 19 & 20 : First Day Challenges
“Grab my hand,, lemme help you” Emerald and Floyd said in unison.
Lyric stared at both of them with dilated pupils.
“Wait,, did i miss something??”
“Isn’t Emerald supposed to be her step dad? But why does it look like he is Floyd’s competition?”
“What the hêll is going on?”
“So tell me-” Tessa’s words were on the tip of her tongue,, but they got stuck there,, frozen in place by the bewildering sight before her.
Her hand clenched into a tight fist,, her knuckles turning white with rage.
💭 What’s so special about this Lyric girl? Why is everyone after her?? Why are the hottest guys in the country always after her?? Why can’t they just look at her? Isn’t she more prettier?* Her subconscious went haywire.
Lyric who was still stunned just blinked rapidly,, her features frozen in astonishment as if time itself had come to a standstill.
Meanwhile,, Emerald and Floyd’s eyes were locked in a fierce, unwavering glare, like two opposing armies meeting on the battlefield.
Emerald opened his mouth to speak but hesitated when it dawned on him that people were actually watching them.
His eyes widened and he immediately took a step back.
“What in the world am i doing? Have i totally lost my mind?” He murmured to himself,, the words barely audible even to his own ears.
His eyes fell upon the crowd,, and has he had thought, they were all staring at them in bewilderment.
“Sorry, but i just remembered i left the gas cooker on at home and my cat is in the kitchen!” Emerald uttered and scampered off,, his arms flailing as he ran like a ghost was chasing him.
“WTF! Was he expecting us to believe that sh!t? His excuse was so lame”.
Lyric beheld Emerald’s figure until he disappeared from her view,, a look of annoyance on her face. She faked a smiled and finally faced Floyd.
“Thanks..” Lyric placed her hand in his,, and he gently lifted her to her feet.
She nearly collided with his broad chest,, but he steadied her with a firm hand.
“Sorry. I gotta go get a change of clothes. As you can see,, this one has already been ruined” Lyric chuckled and with that she ascended the stairs to her room,, a heavy feeling of despair weighing on her heart.
Knowing her too well,, Raspberry and North exhaled and went after her. She wore a mask of calm,, but her eyes betrayed the pain she felt inside.
“I think our job here is done girls. Let’s go to a place where we’re needed..” Tessa cackled and exited the premises with Quincy and Mona Lisa.
Minutes later,, The music was turned back on,, everyone resumed dancing and partying and acted like nothing ever happened.
⟨A LUXURIOUS RESORT⟩
A guy could be seen sitting in a huge pool with two ladies at his sides,, as they caressed his bare chest. One of the girls was busy teasing herself under the water.
The guy smiled handsomely and the silver earring he was putting on on his left ear shun brightly as his hair stuck s*xily to his face.
He turned to the one on his left and slammed his lips on her,, sucking and nibbling on her lower lips like an hungry lion.
“Are you really gonna d!tch us?? You don’t have to attend that school yunno. Please,, just forget about school and be with us forever” The girl at his right said,, twisting his hair with her hand.
“Blame my dad for that.. I don’t really wanna go there too. He just can’t stand the fact that i’m not like him” He said with clenched jaws.
“I’m gonna miss praying with you” The other one said,, caressing his c*ck.
“F**k. Let’s go in for another round. You just turned me on” He said.
“Yaaaay!” The girls screamed.
He smiled and kissed one while the other caressed chest. They came out of the pool and were about to go in,, when one of his bodyguards showed up.
The man bowed and spoke.
“You called for me,, Young master. I was busy with the other task you gave to me. So i wasn’t able to come in time. I apologise” The man bowed again.
The guy simply rolled his eyes and a cunning smirk appeared on his face.
“I need you to spy on someone. I need to know everything about the person. Full name, Age, Residential address, Relationship status… just every single god-damned thing” He uttered and pointed at the table under the Cabana.
“I left an envelope there. Inside it,, are pictures of a guy and a girl…”
“So i should find out everything about the girl and…” The man disrupted ,, but couldn’t finish cause the guy landed a deafening slap on his face, leaving the girls stunned.
“Never interrupt me when I’m talking. You get it?? Now,, listen carefully. You’re gonna find out everything about the guy. And make sure you don’t return if you don’t have enough information on him. Now beat it f**l” The guy spat as he left with the girls.
“Yes. Boss” The man replied behind them.
⟨EVENING••LEE RESIDENCE⟩
“Where have you been son?? I was worried sick. You left the house very early in this morning without telling me a thing” Sasha asked when Ashton came in.
He was looking confused,, and he didn’t reply till he fell on the couch.
Well,, i’m sure you’ll be wondering how they’re on talking terms. Let’s go back to how everything started…
FLASHBACK,, YESTERDAY MORNING
“Ashton. We really need to talk. You can’t just ignore me like a plague” Sasha rushed into Ashton’s room, and Ashton looked up from the horror novel he was reading.
He’s a great lover of horror books.
“But i don’t wanna. Please,, leave my room this minute” He replied sharply.
“I know i haven’t been the best mother you’ve ever wished for. But,, it’s not my fault yunno. Ever since your sister passed away, i haven’t been myself. Sometimes,, i don’t even think before acting…”.
“I know it was tough. But you could have taken me with you. I’m your child too. Why couldn’t you just be there for me. It hurts mom.. it hurts” Ashton cried out.
“Mianhae ⟨I’m sorry⟩. Please forgive me. I promise to be a better person. I promise to make up for lost times. I love you so much son. Please find a space in your heart to forgive me” Sashsa said in tears too.
Ashton stood up and ran into her arms. They both embraced each other in tears.
FLASHBACK ENDS
“Anything the issue?” She asked.
“I don’t know mum. I’m just a bit confused” He replied, sitting up.
“Wait… Don’t tell me you crashed the car!” She flared.
“Of course not mum. C’mon!!!” Ashton groaned. He explained everything to her,, and a smile spread across her lips as she rushed to sit beside him.
“You didn’t tell me you were in love. My baby is in love!” Sasha said surprisingly.
“TF. I’m not in love with anyone mom. She’s not even my type. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about her because of what she told me the first day we met. And that’s all to it” Ashton replied.
“I am your mother dear. Once you have a problem with love,, just come to me. What do you think i’m here for?? Your father and i are here not only to take care of you,, but to be there for you always. Even at times like this.” Sasha said.
“Don’t talk to me about that jérk in human clothing. He’s not my father. My father will never hit his wife over little things. My father will never leave without getting in touch with me. I h@te him… i despise him” He shouted,, and Sasha faced him swiftly.
“Stop it! don’t say that about your dad. He’s just been…”
“No mom. He has no excuse for treating us like thrash. He’ll definitely pay for this. He will…” And with that said,, Ashton ran up the staircase, straight to his bedroom.
He entered and slammed the door behind him.
“What’s happening? Why is everything in my life going wrong..” Sasha sighed.
⟨JELMIZ RESTAURANT⟩
A pink shiny Lamborghini stopped in front of the restaurant which had a huge logo ‘JR’. The door opened and a pair of smooth long legs descended the car.
She shut the door of the car as she stared at the restaurant in front of her. With a smile on her face, she catwalked her way to the entrance.
The door was opened for her by the guards, and immediately she stepped in, the male attendants started gasping non-stop,, one started drooling.
“F**k!, First time I’ll be seeing her in person!”
“I’m so hony!” “So hot!” “Her body!” “She’s an angel sent from heaven!” “So sxy!”
“I’m in love!”
Tessa smiled arrogantly as she entered the elevator.
The elevator stopped at the last floor, and she came out.
The male attendants over there won’t stop drooling too, their mouths dropped open.
They greeted excessively as she walked to the center of the room where a gigantic table was placed. It was filled with so many delicacies and neatly decorated for the most perfect date ever.
After the party,, Tessa received a call from Floyd. He asked her to go out with him for dinner,, that he has something important to say to her.
Tessa didn’t even waste time. She just changed into something séxy and left the house in a hurry.
The waiters in the restaurant stared at her as she took a seat,, especially the males.
She was putting on a white short sleeve mini dress which ended just beneath her a*s with a designer’s belt round her slim, yet tender waist.
“Bring out the wines. I’m gonna try out every single one of them. Everything must go perfectly. Floyd must fall in love with me tonight..” Tessa said, crossing her legs and batting her artificial lashes repeatedly.
⟨SEVERAL HOURS LATER⟩
“Arghhh!!!!” Tess yelled as she pulled the sheets and trashed everything that was on the table.
She picked the wine bottles and started throwing each and every single one of them against the wall.
The room scattered within minutes.
The chief attendant dialed the security’s line.
“Security, your presence is needed. One of our customers has gone nuts” She cried as she watched Tessa display different levels of m*dness.
By this time,, she had already taken off her shoes and her dress was now stained with wine.
“You’ll pay for standing me up!!!!!!!! Floyd,,, you’ll pay!!!!!!!” Tessa screamed loudly,, then accidentally stepped on broken bottles.
She slipped and came crashing to the floor with a hard thud.
“Miss are you okay? Miss….” That was the last thing she heard before passing out.
⟨THE NEXT DAY•• MUSIC LH⟩
The hall looked like a local market, noise everywhere. Some girls could be seen snapping pictures, Raspberry was busy watching Tiktok videos, while North was tryna read.
Why won’t the hall be noisy when the MUS105 lecturerer didn’t come?
“Go Quincy!!”
“Go Quincy!!”
“You’re hót!”
The girls and some guys kept chanting when Quincy was busy twerking to the music “Up” by Cardi B.
“I’ve never seen Quincy act cr@zy like this before? Is it because Tessa isn’t present?” Floyd asked, watching Quincy who was whining like a pro.
“I’m the one who’s supposed to be asking you that question. It’s like we’re in the wrong school” Dwayne said, pressing his phone.
Lyric who went to use the restroom came in and was shocked to see Quincy twerking in front of the class.
“Can you twerk like this?”
One student commented. Lyric shook her head and made to walk back to her seat but Quincy blocked her path.
“Hey b!tch. Why don’t you come show us what you can do with that fl@t @ss of yours. Huh?” Quincy scowled.
“I’m not interested” She muttered and was already going back to her seat,, but Quincy grabbed her hand.
“I don’t take no for an answer. Let’s get it over with. Right here.. right now” Quincy said.
“Yes Lyric!!”
“Dance!! Dance!! Dance!!”
The people began chanting..
Lyric sighed exasperatedly and packed her hair in a ponytail. She walked to the front of the class and began dancing,, surprising everyone.
She whined séxily,, making all the guys drool. Floyd was of no exception,, he began imagining things in his head,, but mentally slapped himself at his cr@zy thoughts.
“That’s what i’m talking about!!. Shake wat your momma gave you sweetie..” Raspberry clapped happily.
Hardin who was sitting at the back couldn’t get his eyes off Dwayne who was busy glancing at North every now and then. He turned and then glared at North.
“There’s no way i’ll let him go like the first one. I won’t let it repeat itself again. Never!!!. North.. or South better watch your back,, cause i’ll hit you were it hurts the most” He said inwardly.
North felt eyes on her so she turned to see Hardin glaring at her. She frowned and tapped berry on the shoulder.
“I don’t know why Hardin has been glaring at me. It’s like i offended him,, but ion remember doing so..” North said,, but realized that berry wasn’t even listening to her.
She was lost in the world of dancing and twerking. North sighed and palmed her face.
After 2 minutes,, Lyric stopped and people clapped for them. Beads of sweat was dripping from her temples down to her cheeks.
And her clothes was wet. She swept her hair to the back and turned to Quincy.
“I can’t believe i am about to say this. But nice job,, you really impressed me with your dancing skills” Quincy muttered to her hearing.
“I owe you one” Quincy added.
Lyric narrowed her gaze and shook her head before going to her seat as a smile escaped her lips.
“Was i blind or did i just see Lyric smiling at Quincy??”
“Thought i was the only one that saw that..”
“This is cr@zy..”.
“The VC is coming!!” A student who was looking out for any lecturer who will pass their hall announced.
Everyone began running to their respective seats. The VC opened the door with an angry look on his face.
He was surprised to see everyone’s books in front of them. They were reading with serious looks on their faces.
“Where was the noise coming from then??” He wondered and closed the door behind him.
“Pheww!!”
Floyd couldn’t hold his laughter anymore.
“So they can be this quiet?? OMG!!” He laughed and Dwayne chuckled.
“Lyric..”
Lyric turned and smiled when she saw it was Floyd.
“Go on without me girls,, i’ll meet you at the cafeteria” Lyric said and Berry and North left.
“Didn’t know you could dance like that. You left me wondering if you’re the same Lyric i know. Or are you an imposter??” Floyd smiled,, still surprised about what happened earlier in their lecture hall.
Lyric simply hit him playfully on his shoulder and was about to speak,, but her phone suddenly began to ring. And her heart skipped a beat when she saw Eomma ❤️ written on the screen.
She swiped right to accept the call.
“Hello. Is this Miss Lyric on the line?” An unfamiliar voice said and Lyric furrowed her brows in confusion.
“Yes. Who’s speaking??” Lyric replied sharply.
“My name is Christopher. I’m calling from Heather clinic. Sorry ma’am,, but i have bad news for you. Your mother didn’t survive the surgery. She just passed away…” The man broke the devastating news.
Upon hearing the news of her mother’s passing,, Lyric felt numb and empty,, as if life had been drained from her body.
As the reality of her mother’s de@th set in,, she felt a crushing weight on her chest,, like she couldn’t breathe. Her phone slipped from her hands and landed on the ground.
What followed was the sound of the broken screen.
