“Where the hell is she?” Niko yelled out for the tenth time.He picked up his phone again, pressing the last number he called as it rang out again, the same robotic reply echoing through the room again.“The person you’re calling is not answering.” The machine said before he angrily hung up the call.This was some minutes to eight pm and she was not at home. His veins popped up on his head as he clenched his jaws tightly. He walked out of his room with his phone in his hands as he heard a little creak of the door.“Fuck! Where the heck is she!” He yelled out the house.His feet moved quickly to the seating room, deciding on seating there and waiting for her till she got back. He hadn't sat for a minute so he stood up back and started pacing back and forth the room. She knew she was supposed to be at home by this time. But she never follows the instructions, she never listens to him.He picked up his phone from where he dropped it when he wanted to sit down as he put another call acros
Throughout the car ride, no word was said to each other. They both stayed on their part, annoyance and anger invading the whole car. Reyna faced the window, staring at it while Niko just drove home as he tried to focus on the road. He kept seeing her smiling face in his head, especially with another guy and it infuriated him the more. Immediately they got home and he parked the car, Reyna did not say anything as she got out of the car and slammed the door, her feet moving towards the entrance.“You were out late. I had no choice than to come and get you. You can’t just be angry at me for that.” Niko said to her immediately they got inside the house.“Is that why you dragged me like that! Is that why you think you can just come and get me without even giving me any chance to talk or do anything to myself!” She yelled out to him.“I didn’t mean it to happen that way. I was just annoyed at the fact that I was worried about you and you were there, seated there, smiling at someone.” He ret
“Ughhh.” Niko groaned out as he tried to reach out his phone whose ringing tone was piercing his ears.He slammed the bedside lamp on the floor, finally jolting him out of his sleep as he sat up to pick the call. His eyes widened as he saw the caller and all the sleep in his eyes was long gone as he finally picked it.“Hello grandfather.” He greeted as he stood up and yawned.“Brat! Did I have to call you twenty times before you pick my call!” His grandfather shouted playfully through the phone.“I wonder which doctor is treating you and has kept on deceiving you that heart attack is real.” Niko joked as he walked to the mirror, checking out his abs and stretching them out.“Are you saying I’ll die early?” His grandfather said again, an evident of mockery laced in his tones.“Did I say that grandfather? All I’m saying is that you should change your doctor because he has been lying to you all along.” A smile tugged the corners of his lips as he said this.His mother’s father was a fath
Reyna has just entered the house when a smell wafted into her nose. She was extremely tired and extremely hungry. Their lecturer had gone hard on all of them and with Dylan incessant questions about who Niko is, she could just proudly say that her day was stressful.She also went to the hospital to check on Alan, who was bountifully smiling and some checkups were being done on him to see if nothing was tampered with while the operation was going on. That was the only thing that made her day of all things she did today.The more she walked into the house, the stronger the smell got. Her brows went up as deep lines edged her forehead. Was he at home already? Or where was the smell coming from. She was almost at the stairs when her eyes caught whiff of the neatly arranged table, different food and even desert laid on it. The first thing she did was check her hand, seeing that it was almost seven o clock.“You like what you see?” A voice sounded from up the stairs.Her eyes darted to hi
“Wakey wakey.” Niko banged reynas door as he hummed in front of it.Reyna yawned out as she shook her head. She has been awake for almost an hour now but refused to stand up. After playing twenty questions and another fun game with Niko last night, they ended up sleeping this morning and now he was here to tell her that they had to go out. They were both going out to a fashion house today, to check styles of what she should wear to his grandfather's place.Maybe that was the main reason she had woken up and could not stand from the bed. A part of her was nervous about it and also a part of her was looking forward to it. His grandfather seemed pretty interesting as she could tell from everything he told her, and she wanted to meet him.“Are you awake, Reyna?” His voice jolted her out of her thoughts.“Yeah! Leave me alone.” She yelled at him before covering her face with the pillow.They had both laughed and forgotten about the kiss, even though some part of her wanted to ask him why
“Holy shit.” She muttered under her breath.“Reyna!!!” The lady yelled out, garnering attention from the people that were around.“Hey..it’s you..“ Reyna awkwardly said as she moved beside Niko who was still trying to put two and two together.He ordered the food before finally going to sit beside the two girls, his eyes glancing between them.“Who is this hot guy here? Won’t you introduce him?” The girl said, chewing her mouth loudly as her eyes feasted on Niko.“I’m her boyfriend.” Niko replied even before Reyna could talk.There was a bit of shock on the girl's face, her mouth stopping for a few seconds as her head slowly turned to Reyna, meeting Reynas eyes that were widened and her lips pressed together.“What! Are you joking?” She scoffed and laughed out at the same time.“What? What do you mean is she joking? I’m her boyfriend, who are you?” Niko retorted, feeling annoyance coursing through his veins.“You can’t possibly be her boyfriend. You’re too cute for her.” She said as s
Silent ensued through the room. All of them awkwardly glancing at each other without spouting a word. Alan looked at Reyna who looked at Niko after.“I’m Niko. What’s your name?” Niko finally said, earning a small smile from Reyna.“Alan.” He answered as his eyes went to him.“How are you feeling?” Niko asked again before looking at Reyna who nodded at him.He has not really dealt with kids like this from a long time ago. From the time his brother started seeing him as the villain, he had done all things in his power to stay away from kids and not let them bother him.“I’m fine.” Alan retorted before Reyna passed him his lunch box.“Are you treating my sister well?“ Alan spoke up, making Niko cock a brow towards Reyna.Maybe this was their bond after all. Caring about each other and asking about each other.“Of course! Do you think km going to let her tiny body become tinier?” Niko retorted as he dashed a smile to Reyna who rolled her eyes at him.“Have your eaten Alan? He brought you
“Reyna!!” Niko yelled from the sitting room.It was the date yet and his grandfather had called him more than five times now. Reyna was inside her room, dressing up like she said. And he was getting impatient already.“Can you please come down?“ he yelled out again.“I’m coming!” He heard her reply to him before hearing the door open.His eyes dashed up as he waited for her to arrive. Immediately she showed up, his heart skipped a beat as he gazed at her. There was this princess look on her face, her hair packed in a ponytail with a black purse in her hand. His eyes travelled down her gown and it made his throat hitch out to say something. The blue gown was fitted from the upper part, protruding the breast part of the dress but became a flair after her waist, stopping after her knees. As she stepped down, the frontline of the dress became more visible to him, it was cut on her chest but covered down to her wrist.“Like what you see?” She winked at him as she turned around in front of
