There was total silence after Reed confessed,Summer didn’t utter a word,she was totally speechless.
“Summer?” Reed called and she came back to reality
“Reed,I…”
“No,I don’t want the answer right now. You are free to take your time,I don’t want negative answer please. Just take your time,okay?” Reed said and Summer nodded slowly
Reed smiled and pecked her cheek before going out
Summer touched her cheek where he kissed and shook her head unbelievably,She exhaled and inhaled.
“Calm down Summer,calm down” She sighed out and slowly walked out of the class. She saw Kingsley coming out of the library with Noelle,she didn’t take a second glance at them,she went straight to her room.

SHOPPING MALL**
Jasper followed closely as Josephine picked different clothes,she was wearing a big smile on her face. She took one dress and turned back to Jasper
“Jas,what do you think?” She asked showing him
“It’s black” Jasper said and she frowned
“So what?”
“Almost all your clothes are black” Jasper replied and she scoffed
“We both know my favorite colour is black and it always look so good on me,so what are you talking about? I’m taking this” She said and continue picking more clothes handing it to the mall attendant.
She saw a necklace
“Wow,it’s beautiful” She said and immediately rushed to it
“Give me that,give me” She said
“Yes ma’am” The attendant said and helped her with it
Minutes later,they were done. Her guards started packing the stuffs to the car. She was about going out with Jasper when a guy walked over to them
“Hi” He said,smiling at Josephine
Jasper immediately covered her up
” I just want to talk to her” The guy said
“Jasper” Josephine called and Jasper faced her
“You really want to talk to him? He doesn’t look like….”
“I will talk to him,you should go” Josephine snapped
Jasper shot the guy a glare before walking away,he lean against the car watching them as they talk,He saw them exchanging contacts and he scoffed,how can she smile that way in front of a guy she barely know when all she do is being cold all day?
Soon they started walking toward the car,still talking
“I will call you Jose,I promise” The guy said with a wink and Josephine nodded,he was about to say more when Jasper opened the car door and ushered her in.
Jasper closed the door and turned back to the guy before passing through the other side. The driver drove off
The drive was silent,Jasper wouldn’t spare Josephine a glance. She wasn’t supposed to care but she really cares because it’s not like him,he will always try to make her smile no matter what
“Jasper,are you okay?” Josephine asked
“Yes ma’am” He replied without looking at him
Josephine sighed and decided to leave him alone
******
JOSEPHINE’S HOUSE**
Jasper and Josephine stayed together as the maids help in arranging the stuffs into her room,Jasper faced her
“I’m leaving,it’s late” He said and Josephine also turned to him
“But,,I want us to have dinner together…”
“I’m sorry I can’t wait,goodnight” Jasper said and bowed slightly before walking away leaving her speechless
“Ma’am,we are done,we prepared you a warm bath too” The maids said as they came out
“Thanks” Josephine entered her room and dropped her bag on the bed,she went into the dressing room and took off her clothes before proceeding to the bathroom.
She entered the bathtub gently and settled in,the water was so warm. Just perfect,she Mõ@ned and shut her eyes. Her mind suddenly went to Jasper and she sighed
“What’s with him? Is he mad about something?” She muttered and bite her lips. Jasper never rejects her offers but he did tonight and he was looking cold too.

NEXT DAY,STANFORD**
EVENING**
Kingsley checked the door again for the umpteenth time and sighed,the group is complete already aside Summer who isn’t there yet
“Where the h*ll is she?”
“How can she be so d@mn Late?”
“Gosh this is annoying…”
They members are beginning to complain
Kingsley banged his hand on the desk and they all looked up
“You all are free to leave,but we aren’t starting a thing until she’s here. You guys are not even smart so why are you complaining?” Kingsley snapped and they all kept quiet.
“No one is leaving?” He asked again
“We are sorry,but she’s taking…oh she’s here”
Kingsley immediately turned to the door and saw Summer running breathlessly until she entered the class
“I’m…sorry…I slept off” Summer said breathlessly
Kingsley only smiled
“Sorry for keeping you all waiting,it won’t happen again” She added before sitting down
“Here” Kingsley gave her a bottle water and she looked at him
“Drink it” He said
“I’m fine…” she wanted to reject it but Kingsley took her hand and dropped the bottle on her palm
“Thanks” She muttered and immediately opened it,she gulped down half of it before dropping it.
“Let’s start” Kingsley said
HOURS LATER**
“Bye everyone” They all greeted themselves as they walked out one after the other. Summer also carried her bag and walked out,Kingsley followed her and they started walking together
“Are you okay? You look tired” he sadi
“Yeah,really tired” Summer muttered
Kingsley smiled
“Wanna do something fun? Your tiredness will fade off,trust me” He said and Summer faced him
“What’s that?”
“Wanna take a long and fast ride around Cali with me?” He asked swinging his key in the air
“Seriously?” Summer asked and he nodded
Summer smiled
“Okay,,I’m gonna change my dress” She said looking at the short gown she was putting on and Kingsley nodded
“As you wish”
Summer smiled and immediately ran off,she entered her room and met Naomi on the bed writing.
“You’re not done yet?” Summer asked,rushing to the closet
“I think I left my PC with Brayden,I need it so I can submit the assignment. Are you going somewhere tho?” Naomi asked
“Yeah,will be right back” Summer said,she was now putting on a trouser and a hoodie,she wore her sneakers before rushing out. Naomi groaned and hit her head on the bed
Kingsley was waiting on the bike already when she came out,
“You look hot” Kingsley said
“Take your eyes off before I remove them” Summef Snapped and Kingsley smiled
“Here” Kingsley gave her the second helmet
“Thanks” She smiled and took it from him,she used it and then climbed on the bike gently
“I ride this crazily,don’t be scared” Kingsley said
“I trust you so don’t worry about me” Summer replied and Kingsley was surprised
“You trust me?” He asked again
“Yes I do”
He smiled and took off immediately,
“You might wanna hold me” Kingsley said naughtily
“In your dreams” Summer scoffed and then all of a sudden,Kingsley added more speed
“Kingsley!” She screamed and immediately grabbed hold of him,holding him from the back
Kingsley smiled in satisfaction as her hands wrapped around him,the ride was really fast but fun,the night breeze making it more amazing and different colour of the street light was something to write about,even from the helmet,Summer could see everything clearly.
Summer suddenly saw fireworks as they rode through the bridge,she immediately tapped Kingsley and he stopped at once.
“Are you okay?” Kingsley asked
“Fireworks,look” Summer pointed and immediately got down from the bike,she removed her helmet and moved closer to hold the bridge abutment.
Kingsley also joined her
“Wow,,so pretty” Summer smiled not taking her eyes from the fireworks.
“Do you enjoy watching this?” Kingsley asked after some minutes,he finds nothing important about the fireworks
“Of course,isn’t it pretty?” Summer asked
“No it’s not” Kingsley scoffed
“Really?” Summer faced him and he nodded
“There’s nothing fun about watching fireworks to me” He said
“You don’t know anything” Summer roll her eyes
“You’re the one who doesn’t know anything,you’re dumb” Kingsley said and her eyes widened
“Me? Dumb?”
Kingsley nodded
