Paisley bit her lip before going to him.
She gave him a peck and Lexi touched his cheek.
“My lips would have been better” he whispered, and she pecked her on the lips.
“OMG!!” The girls screamed.
“Are you going home for weekend?” Lexi asked.
“Sure, you?” Paisley replied.
“Of course, wanna ride with me?” He asked, and she looked back at Delaney.
“No don’t worry, go with your boyfriend and I’ll find my way home” Delaney winked, and Lexi pulled her away.
“Bye sweetheart!, See ya at home!” She blew kisses to Delaney as she got pulled away.
“Bye” Delaney waved.
“See you girls on Monday!” She shouted.
“Same here baby!” Carina and Melinda waved back till she went out of sight completely.
“Maybe she really got over Leo” Carina said.
“I don’t think so” Delaney replied.
“Why?, You saw the PDA she did earlier” Melinda replied.
“Still…” Delaney said and nodded.
“Let’s go” she smiled.
“Yes captain!” They chorused, and she laughed as she pulled the two of them along.
Dylan was watching from the rails, and immediately they left, he inhaled and turned to leave, but Madelyn blocked him.
“I’m going to the mansion with you for weekend” she said.
“I wanna be alone all weekend” he replied and made to leave, but she hugged him tightly without letting go.
“I love you so much, Dylan I love you I swear, please don’t leave me for that girl, she loves Mavis, please don’t abandon me, I’ll take poison and die I swear, please don’t jilt me, don’t leave me baby” she started crying, Dylan’s hand were down throughout.
“I love you so much Dylan, I love you the most in this world, I can’t live without you so please… don’t even think about leaving me” she cried more, and Dylan sighed.
Mavis walked past them and sighed when he sighted them.
He pretended not to see them till he got to the base of the stairs where he received a text from Sydney.
★ I’M COMING BACK TO AUSTRILLIA SOON, I STILL LOVE YOU ★
This time, he smashed the phone and didn’t even bother to pick his card before walking away angrily.

HOSTEL**
Delaney and the girls packed the small bags they’ll take home for weekend immediately they got back to the hostel, and they came out of the room at the same time.
“I’m gonna miss you!” Carina hugged Delaney tightly.
“Same here baby” Delaney hugged her back.
“Don’t cry at night, promise me” Carina whispered.
“Promise” she replied and they broke the hug.
“Hard to get” Delaney said as she hugged Melinda.
Melinda laughed, kissing her cheek before they separated.
“Girls!” Gigi came out of her room.
“You’re not going home for weekend?” Delaney asked.
“No, home is always boring cos my mum is always away” she replied, and Delaney hugged her.
“I’ll miss you”
“Same here girl” Gigi chuckled when they broke it.
Carina and Melinda waved at her as Delaney left with them.
Immediately they left, Gigi’s phone buzzed, a message from a known number.
★ COME TO THE YARD RN! ★
She was shaking as she walked there, and when she arrived, she met the two devils as usual. Madelyn and Gladys.
“On your knees” Gladys ordered, and she went on her knees immediately.
“I really don’t know what a black girl is doing here, and your dad is a Nigerian?, I h@të that country like Sh|t so I h@të anything related to it just like you!, Blame yourself for being black, black irritates me” Madelyn said, standing from the chair she’s sitting on.
“It’s not my fault for being black” Gigi muttered.
“How dare you talk back!” Madelyn snapped.
She slapped Gigi, and her face swelled immediately.
Gladys kicked her and she landed on the ground, then hits and more kicks followed till she passed out.
They left her unconscious body there and someone came by.
His sneakers was the only thing visible as he carried her in his arms and took her away.

7PM**
Delaney just arrived at the coffee shop, and immediately she changed into her uniform, the first table she served has Mavis sitting on it.
“Sugarcane” she said surprisingly, and he smiled with a seductive wink.
“The cappuccino is mine” he said, taking the cup of coffee from her.
He took a sip from it and looked at her again.
“Nice, did you make it?” He asked, and she shook her head before trying to walk away but he held her back.
“You love doing this right?” She rolled eyes, and he released her hand.
“Drink your coffee and leave” she said and started leaving again..
“Can we kiss again?” He asked, and she turned back swiftly with wide eyes.
“I’m gonna kill you if you say another word again!” She glared, and he smiled as she walked away fast.
He sipped the coffee from time to time as he watched her serve around, and he was smiling throughout.
She’s just so focused that it’s hard for her to make mistakes, and that got him intrigued till she finished her shift.
They left the restaurant together and he drove her to the dry-cleaning shop.
He stayed outside, smoking while waiting for her to be done.
He kept peeping in, impatient for her to come out till she finally did.
“Smoking again?” She said.
“Want a stick?” He asked naughtily, and she trick to take it away from his lips but he grabbed her hand and pulled her closer swiftly.
Her eyes widened, and he removed the stick from his mouth, staring at her lips.
He slowly released her, and she blinked.
“I’m sorry” he said, dropping the stick.
“It’s ok” she replied, and they got in his car.
He drove her home silently, and she waved at him before stepping out of the car.
“I’ll see you tomorrow” he smiled.
“Don’t come to my jobs tommorow” she said quickly.
“You’ll come to me instead, to deliver my clothes” he winked and drove away.
“Such a pervert” Delaney muttered before going in, then Dylan’s car came to view.
He has actually been trailing them from the shop till they got here.
He held the steering tight as he watched her go in, wishing he could go closer.
*
Delaney got in and her phone rang immediately, it’s Paisley.
“Hey babe!”
“Sweetheart I and mum are currently at the groceries, we’ll be home in half an hour” Paisley said.
“Oh … Ok honey, I’ll just cook before you guys will return” she replied.
“I love you!”
“I love you more” Delaney replied and hung up.
She was about to climb the stairs when the door opened and Mr Addams came in, reeking of alcohol. He’s obviously drunk.
“Hey orphan!” He called out, and Delaney’s eyes widened as he started staggering to her.
She stood still till he got to her and laughed.
“When will you leave my house?, It’s really suffocating to have you here when you have no purpose to serve, I’m not the one who killed your parents” he said senselessly, and Delaney started fighting back her tears.
He suddenly grabbed her by the waist, and her eyes widened.
“One round, just one round ok?” He laughed and started trying to tear off her blouse.
Her bag fell from her as she started struggling with him.
He slapped her twice at a time when she was struggling too much, and tears came out of her eyes.
“Let me go!” She shouted and pushed him away with all her strength.
As he fell, he was still pulling her blouse so it got torn.
Not minding the torn blouse, she ran out of the house in tears, not minding where she’s going.
She just wants to get far away from him right now.
She suddenly bumped into a hard chest as she ran, and the person held her quickly, stopping her from falling.
Immediately she looked up and saw his face, she held his shirt tightly, knotting her hands on it.
“Dela..” his raspy voice called, and she sniffed.
“Take me far away from here, please bad boy” she cried, still holding him.
He immediately pulled her into a very tight hug while stroking her black hair gently.
“Anywhere you wanna go, this bad boy is ready…. Anywhere Dela”
