Leaning his back slightly against the wall and using his leg as anchor, he smiled brightly at me. "Won't you say you like me too?""I can't remember telling you that I did." I retorted, diverting my gaze. "You really don't need to. It's everywhere. Even a newly born kid can see that." He replied. "You don't need to be secretive about it.""What do you want, Sky?" I asked"You." Was his curt reply."No. Like I mean. What's your proposal? What would you have me do in exchange for helping me with my friend?" I clarified."Oh, I just told you." He grinned while coming to stand beside me. "There's this thing people do. I think they call it a fling. I'm not really certain though. But it involves two people, agreeing to pleasure and satisfy each other and either one of them is free to call it quits when they want to. It's a no strings attached kind of relationship."I scoffed. "So, why are you telling me this?""You're so naive, aren't you?" He smiled. "I'm telling you this because I want y

"You didn't say you were coming." I said, standing by the door and watching him pull off his shoes at the entrance of the house."My bad. I was actually on my way to school and decided to stop by. Thought someone would be happy." He replied."Well, I'm not." I retorted. "Was about to come by your house.""No one's home though." He replied."Your brothers? Nana? Ruby? My mom?" I asked at a go."Yeah. All those people you mentioned aren't home." And as if recollecting lost memories, he creased his brows together and asked, "Your mum? Whatever is your mum doing in my house?"My lips parted to form an o, realizing what I had just said. I knew I had fucked up, but there was no need to keep on hiding the fact that my mum worked for them. One way or another, they were surely going to find out. Besides, as I thought about it, I couldn't find any legit answer for hiding the fact."Well, she works as a private nurse for your family and for two days now, she hasn't been home. Thought I could dro

Swirling around the mirror for the last and checking my outfit to make sure that it was suitable for a ride to the airport, I blew my reflection a kiss.I put on an ash maxi skirt that sat prettily on my waist, below my navel button and a crop top that barely passed my chest region and a black platform heels to complete the outfit.Skye was due to drop by any minute. He had called earlier to inform me that Kylie had landed successfully.Hearing the news had made me squeal and immediately called Kylie after Skye had dropped his call."Were you ever going to tell me that you're in my town?" I said to Kylie."I wanted to surprise you." She'd replied, "But I guess, that's not happening anytime soon anymore.""You bet." I laughed. "There was no way your surprise would have worked out anymore, because I was still going to pick you up."We'd talked and gossiped some more, while I busied myself with getting ready.I smiled and shook my head, when my cell phone rang. It was skye calling. "I'm

"You know, when I first got pregnant, I was scared and didn't even know what to do." Kylie told me, taking off the waist trainer to reveal a red long mark around her tummy caused by the waist trainer. "I cried my eyes most days and avoided going out because I thought that people would notice my bump.""I doubt." I piped in. "Your tummy is so small, and you don't look pregnant."She nodded, smiling. "I know that, Steyn. Soon, I discovered that I couldn't stay indoors anymore and I had to go to school so I began using the waist trainer." She sighed, looking at me. It wasn't easy at all because I struggled with the urge to puke every second and the not so comfortable condition I was in. But it helped." She looked at me one last time."It's all okay now." I took the waist trainer from her and rubbed her shoulder. "You have me now, so you don't have to worry about anything."Turning, I looked around for Skye, seeking some sort of reaffirmation from him, but it seemed he'd gone farther into

It was exhilarating to think of how he switched from being this cool and sensible guy to the total opposite in minutes, I thought, barging into my house.I dumped my bag on the cushion and scurried into the kitchen to look for something to drink."Whoosh!" I yelled, thumping loudly on the table. It was difficult thinking straight when you had other things on your mind.Dumping the cup In the sink, I made a u-turn and headed straight to my room. There was no school for me today and I intended to spend the day sleeping.Seeing Kylie again gave me some sort of happiness I thought as I lay wide awake in bed, thinking of the list of things I had to do.The most pressing one, being how I intended to tell my mom about it. Just thinking about it gave me shivers. My imagination ran wild, thinking about the way she would react. Good thing was I didn't plan on telling her about it anytime soon, so I pushed the thought aside.Also, introducing Ruby to her was on that list but for the past few wee
