Love and Secrets 27
Jake didn't say anything and only huffed before he went to sit down on Quinnel's former seat. Then our food was brought over and we ate peacefully. "Okay, since we're all full... Let's get on to today's business." Coach yelled once we were all gathered back in the lobby. "What's today's business coach?" I asked and he smiled at me before he grinned rubbing his hand together. "We're going to tour the city!" "Wooo!" "Yeah!" "Yay!" "Well then. Let's not waste any more time shall we? Let's go!" Immediately, he said everyone filed out of the lobby in happiness. We went into the bus and it only stopped about 30 minutes later. I was feeling warm by the sun that was peeking out behind the clouds as I walked out of the bus. "Don't you think it's warm?" Ashley asked giggling and I giggled in return. Why do I keep sounding like a fangirl?! "It is. Very warm I think I might be blushing." Quinnel said suddenly and a frown automatically pulled itself onto my face. I turned my head to

"I wonder where we're going next," Ashley said with a huff and her hand went to her waist to stand akimbo."Me too! It's so far," I replied with the same voice."Bear with it. I think I have an idea of where we're going," Jake said and we both turned our head to him."So are we near or still far?!" I asked with a glare and he moved back a little before he gulped and pointed his hand."There," He said simply and I looked at where he was pointing to see the head of the Statue of Liberty with the torch in her hand."Woah!""You do know where we are going!" I yelled happily as I jangled his arm to and fro and he simply grinned with a wink."Dummy," Ashley muttered with a shake of her head and I grinned at them.We walked for some more minutes before the coach asked us to stop.True enough, we stopped in front of the Statue of Liberty."Dude,you have to teach me your secret!" I said hitting Jake by the arm which he pulled a scowl at."Right. Sorry," I muttered and he only looked forward. I

"Hey, Quinnel... Watch out!" Someone yelled and my eyes widened when I saw Quinnel ran in front of a moving bus.With a gasp, I pulled to a halt unable to move any further. My heart was beating in my chest as the long bus passed by me.When it had finished passing, I looked up to Quinnel, hopefully, to find him not standing on the opposite side of the road. Another gasp escapes my lips when I find the place empty. I brought my hand up to my lips as I felt tears coming to my eyes."He's not dead, right?" I asked myself shaking my head."He obviously passed before the bus. The bus didn't hit him!" I mumbled and I shook my head again."His Mum... What do I tell his Mum? She helped me and this is what I repay her. Oh My God!" I muttered bending down."Let's not jump to conclusions... His body is not even... Oh no."While my eyes was looking around, someone covered my eyes from behind. With an angry and sad expression, I stood up jerking the person's hand away.I turned around with a glar

"Alright, we're here." The coach and I didn't even bother looking up from my feet that I have been staring at for some minutes. Nah, forever.Ever since my speech about minding your own business to Ashley, Jake and Zaire who looked bewildered by the way... I have been staring at my sneakers."Woah!" Ashley exclaimed and I looked at her to see her eyes fixed on something with her eyes twinkling in delight.The sun was out high in the sky. So it was shining really harsh down on us and more so, we were in the afternoon already.I looked from her sun kissed face to whatever she was looking at and to say I was amazed by it's beauty would be an understatement!New York is beautiful!"This is the Bryant Park. The grounds features monuments and garden, and "Le Carrousel," a popular carousel. A games area makes available chess boards, checkers, and backgammon boards for a small fee."I look around the the Bryant Park. The sun that was behind us was only reaching half the green lawn that was in

Four updates in one day!🌝🌝 Ooh! Enjoy... And thank you all for reading Love and Secrets. ❤️ "Woah! Dude." Zaire yelled holding Quinnel's hand back and he only glared at him. "Leave me the fuck alone." He spat before he jerked his hand off and turned his face back to the guy under him. Everyone kept yelling for Quinnel to stop but he wasn't having it. Mountains by Tatiana Manaois started playing in the background and I swear it was like the worst timing ever. Another blow landed and I gasped looking down at the bloodied boy lying helplessly on the floor with both arm hanging lazily beside his head as he heaved heavily. Sitting on top of him was Quinnel who kept punching the boy even though his face was already battered beyond repair. His teeth was red with blood, his cheekbone red and bleeding, the corner of his eyes was bleeding as it bled over his freckles down his cheekbone that was already bleeding. His nose looked dislocated and I knew it had broken as it was also bleeding

"Is that all?" He asked and I nodded placing the pen down."Okay, tell your boyfriend to come and write his own too," He said and I blinked at him.He pointed at Quinnel and I looked back at Quinnel before I looked back at him and nodded my head in understanding."By the way, he likes you really. I mean is it normal to suffer a third level Concussion from several beatings from a guy of your own mate?!""A third level?" I asked and he nodded his head."I tell you. It's really fortunate that the parents aren't pressing any charges. Guess they know the ways of their boy." He mumbled and I sighed.Or they weren't at home and have not even been informed about this incident. Or, it was what he said. They knew his character.I walked to Quinnel who was sitting on the chair with his head bowed as he studied the ground."He's calling you." I said nudging him and he looked up at me. I nudged my chin towards the counter and he sighed before he stood up.I looked at my side to see Coach, Zaire, A

"What are you doing? Let go of me right now," I said my hand on his arm and he shook his head."No. Until you listen to me." He said and I snorted."Why do I have to listen to you now? I wanted to listen to you earlier and what did you do? You accused me, blamed me... In hell would I actually listen to you," I retorted and he sighed."I'm sorry," He whispered and I froze for a second looking at our reflection in the glass that served as door to the hotel's lobby which was in a way the entrance. I could only see his hair and not his face since he decided it was wise to bury his face in my neck."What?" I asked in a whisper and he finally looked up straight into my eyes in the reflection and I almost froze at the intensity of the sincerity in it. Almost."I'm sorry, Heaven. For accusing you and for calling you Navaeh. I know that was quite wrong and unfamiliar of me, but I'm sorry.""You think I'm angry cause you called me Navaeh? I mean I am, I don't even know why since it's my name, b

"I'll see you by 7pm then," He greeted once I stepped out of the elevator unto my floor.Their floor was above ours so he still had to stay in there for a few more seconds before he got off."Sure," I replied with a wave."Bye.""Kay."Before we could keep exchanging words, I had turned my back and made my way to the room before I realized his cardigan was still around my waist."Wait. What about your-!" He was gone. The elevator had closed and it already arrived on the guy's floor. Guess I'll just return it during dinner.I turned around walking to our room before I stopped. I pressed in the lock combination and an automatic voice, like it always had, said "Door Unlocked."I turned the door and pulled it open before I stepped in taking off my sneakers in the process leaving me barefooted. The door closed after me and "Door Locked."I sighed when I saw my bed and without any more hesitation, I ran and jumped on it with it bouncing me back harder than I expected. But I guess it's my f
