{ I LOVE YOU, GORGEOUS }
“Yeah, Aaron Walker on the line”
______
“Oh I flew back to Britain just last night”
“Sure, went to see my best friend. Let’s talk later”
He hung up and smiled again.
“Who was that?” A woman asked, coming in.
“My agent” he smiled, hugging her immediately she got to him.
“You’re not planning to run away again like three days ago, right?” She pouted like a kid.
“C’mon mum, I only spent one day in Manhattan, and I’m even glad I went, I got to save Ted from Mr Salvador” he replied, and she broke the hug.
“I think he should be reported to the cops, and he should get restrictions cos what the hell is wrong with him? I get that he’s pained about Angela’s death, but he should stop making the poor boy feel bad” she replied.
“Calm down, Regina” he smiled, caressing her face fondly.
“I’m calming down, Aaron” she said, and they laughed together, then she held his face.
“I have the most handsome son in the world”
“I know, typical Romeo” he winked cutely.
“When is your Juliet coming?” She asked.
“Whenever I find her” he replied, and they hugged again.
“I love you so much baby”
“I love you more, mum” he smiled, stroking her hair slowly.
“Dress up and come out for dinner, can’t eat without you yunno?” She broke the hug.
“Sure, my woman” he winked, and she blew him three kisses before leaving the room.
•••
Aaron’s wide eyes didn’t last long, and immediately he got over the shock, he smiled.
“Ring it around the world, please”
“Really?” Teddy smiled too.
“Yeah, I’m eager to see what’d happen too when everyone finds out there are two Aaron” Aaron smirked.
The guys finally got to them, and Pascal entered their middle, separating them so Teddy’s palms slipped away from Aaron’s shirt.
“What the hell are you guys doing?” He said, looking at their bloody faces.
The other students joined them shortly, and Jennifer covered her mouth with her palms when she saw Teddy’s face.
She almost ran to him, but she held herself back when she remembered what happened last night, and she bit her lip hard.
“Teddy are you ok?” Cindy ran to him and raised her hand to his face, but he slapped it away with a glare.
“Don’t Füçking touch me” he said, and tears formed in Cindy’s eyes immediately.
“You ok?” Seth asked, and he nodded.
“I’m fine, the bruises are nothing, I’ve had bigger ones” he replied, and Alex held his arm.
“I’ll get you out of here, you need to get your face treated” he said, taking him out of the beach.
“Aaron, you fine?” Vance asked.
Without replying, he left the beach on his own.
“His stubbornness always drives me to the edge, i mean… What would it cost him to say yes or no?” Pascal said.
“He probably wants to be alone right now” Seth replied, and he nodded, but Vance followed Aaron immediately.
The students returned the their spots, and the fun continued, but Jennifer’s mind stayed on Teddy’s bleeding face throughout, and she became even sadder as she sat alone on the shore.
“Hey Leslie!” Pascal shouted after her as she walked to the water with Miranda.
“It’s your guy” Miranda laughed.
“My guy? Stop it” Leslie rolled eyes before turning around to face Pascal, but her legs stumbled on each other, and she began going down.
Miranda tried grabbing her hand, but it slipped off.
“Füçk!” She gasped as Leslie almost hit the ground, but Pascal’s arms were fast enough to grab her, pulling her back to her feet.
“Ah!” She gasped when their chests met, and he smiled naughtily.
“I got you”
She couldn’t blink, and their eyes locked for a moment till he shook her.
“You listening to me at all?”
“Huh?” She blinked back to her senses.
“How about tonight?” He asked, and she quickly released herself from his grip.
“Wh.. what about… tonight?” She asked, and she cursed herself immediately for being nervous.
Not in front of this habitual jerk here!
Pascal came closer, and when she made to shift back, he grabbed her bare waist, and she swallowed hard, staring into his seductive eyes.
He glanced down at his lips, and she blinked nervously again.
“You’re nervous” Pascal whispered, and she quickly looked at his face.
“No! I’m not!”
“There, you’re Füçking nervous” he smiled, and she blinked.
“Bastard, let me go”
“Tonight, can we meet after the talent show?” He asked, and she looked up slowly this time around.
He’s charming her, it’s so obvious.
“Let’s meet, please” he winked, and her lids shook.
•••
“Wait… You’re crying?” Seven said, entering a shed where Cindy is sitting alone in tears.
“Can you just leave me alone? I don’t wanna talk to anyone” she sniffed, wiping her tears.
“Wait, are you mad? When did you start crying because of a guy? It has always been the other way round, so what did Teddy do to you?” Seven questioned.
“You’ll never understand, I think I love him for real” Cindy sniffed, and Seven laughed out loud.
“You love him? Wait… What!”
Cindy stood and walked out of the shed, and Seven scoffed.
“Did I just hear wrong?”
She left the shed too and started searching for Vernon, but he’s nowhere.
“Where the Füçk is he?” She muttered.
•••
“Where are we going?” Becca asked as Vernon pulled her to the far end of the beach, but no reply came from him.
“Vernon! Wait! Ver…
They were already in the last shed before she could finish, and he smiled immediately their eyes met.
“Anyone could see us” she said fearfully.
“No one is around here” he replied, taking her right hand.
“But they might get the wrong idea” she said, and he frowned.
“That we’re dating?” He said, and she looked down from his face.
“Seven, I don’t want her trouble”
“So… If I’m not dating Seven, you’d date me?” He said, and she blinked.
“Huh?”
He brought an hand to her face and caressed her right cheek slowly, holding eyes with her.
“Stop, Vernon” she pulled his hand away from her face.
“So if I break up with Seven, you’d date me?” He said.
“I never told you to break up with your girlfriend cos of me, please just…
“I think I’m starting to like you, very much” he cut her off, and her eyes widened.
“Vernon…
“I’m for real, Becca, I’ve got feelings for you” he whispered, and her nervousness kicked in as she blinked repeatedly.
She stepped back from him, and before he knew it, she ran away.
He smiled and sighed. “I didn’t get to tell her my birthday is coming soon”
•••
“Here, do you like pineapple drinks?” Miranda pointed a bottle of it at Seth who was lying on a recliner.
He removed his shades and hung it in his hair before taking the juice from her.
“Been craving for one, just too lazy to go for it myself” he smiled, opening it.
He drank it and nodded. “It’s good”
“Wasn’t expecting you to take it from me” she said cutely, blushing heavily again.
Seth looked at her and smiled.
“Wait… Do you like me that much? You’re red again” he said, and she quickly covered her face with her palms.
“By the way, you look Sëx¥ in the bikini” he said, and her palms fell from her face immediately.
“Please… Say that again” she muttered.
“You’re Sëx¥ right now” he replied.
“Yesssssss!!!!!” She screamed crazily, running down the beach with her flowing hair.
“How adorable” Seth laughed.
Ten minutes later, everyone gathered for the beach games.
“We’d go with the squid game first, green light and red light” Leslie said, getting the pink water gun.
“Who’s handling the gun?” Becca asked, and Miranda saw Jennifer who’s still sitting alone.
She dragged her up and handed her the gun.
“You’re the shooter” she winked.
“But I’m not…
“Shhh, the game is starting” Miranda shut her up with a kiss on the cheek, then she joined the others.
Jennifer smiled lightly before turning her back on them.
“Green light!” She shouted, and everyone began walking in tippy toes.
“Red light!” She said, turning sharply to them.
Everyone stopped walking, but Pascal’s body shook, and he staggered.
“You’re gone!” Jennifer laughed, shooting him with the water gun .
He fell on the ground, forming like a dead person, and the game continued.
“Green light!”
“Red light!” Jennifer turned back and caught Vernon this time.
“You’re out!” She laughed, turning after shooting him down.
“Green light!”
“Red light!” She turned to catch Miranda shaking, but Miranda knowingly kicked Leslie, and Leslie shook too.
“I h@të you Mira!” Leslie laughed as Jennifer shot them down too.
It went on till the last three people got to her back. Becca, Seth and Seven.
She dropped the gun and began chasing them. Seven escaped, but she caught Seth and Becca.
They were both dragged to the water, and Pascal and Vernon jointly threw them in.
They came out after two minutes, and Jennifer laughed as they started walking out of the water with wet clothes.
“That was fun” she said, but it didn’t last, cos the sadness returned to her face almost immediately, and she turned away from them.
She left the beach first, going under a shed where she sat and started thinking about Teddy’s wounded face again.
“Hey” Aaron’s voice made her look up to see him beside her.
“When did you get here?” She asked.
“Just now” he smiled. His face got treated already, there are scanty patches.
She badly wants to ask the cause of the fight, but she kept biting her lip to stop herself.
He brought out the poem paper and pointed it at her.
“What?” She blinked.
“Check it out” he smiled, and she took it.
Immediately she opened it, her eyes showed how stunned she was. They shone as she read the poem.
CAN YOU GIVE ME YOUR HEART? I PROMISE TO KEEP IT SAFE BESIDE MINE
I CRAVE YOUR SOUL NEXT TO MINE, AND MY HEARTBEATS AS YOUR LULLABY
YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE I WOULDN’T MIND LOSING SLEEP FOR, THE ONLY ONE I CAN NEVER GET TIRED OF TALKING TO, AND THE ONLY ONE WHO CROSSES MY MIND CONSTANTLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN MAKE ME SMILE WITHOUT ANY INTENTION AND AFFECT MY EMOTIONS WITH EVERY ACTION OF YOURS.
I CAN’T EXPLAIN IN WORDS HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME, BUT YOU’RE THE ONE I’M AFRAID OF LOSING.
YOU’VE GOT THE ARMS I WANNA BE WRAPPED IN, YOU’VE GOT THE EYES I WANNA GET LOST IN.
YOU’VE GOT THE SMILE I CAN NEVER RESIST, AND YOU’VE GOT THE VOICE I WANNA LISTEN TO FOR HOURS.
I DECIDED ON YOU, I WANT YOU AND ONLY YOU… GORGEOUS.
Jennifer spranged up immediately she read the last part, and her eyes darted to Aaron.
“You wrote this?” She asked with loud heartbeats.
Aaron stood slowly.
“Yes, you don’t like it?” He asked, and she looked at the poem again.
She has only heard Gorgeous from one person, and it’s Teddy, then how come…
“I’ll wait for whenever you’ll give me the answer, I love you for real” Aaron interrupted her thoughts, holding her face.
She blinked repeatedly, and Aaron smiled as he caressed her face before hugging her tightly.
“I love you, Enny”

<8PM~ HOTEL HALL>
Students are going in batch by batch already, and some went in alone for their talents presentation.
Dancers, singers, rappers, face card advertisers and the foodies, so many of them.
“We seriously aren’t gonna partake in this show?” Leslie said sadly.
“We didn’t practice any dance or song, so I can’t step on that stage to disgrace myself” Miranda replied as they settled with the onlookers.
“Guys, Kiss wants to talk to me after this show” Leslie said.
“Just be careful, your pu$$y is at risk” Miranda replied.
“Trust me” Leslie winked.
Jennifer stepped slightly away from them and took the poem out, reading it all-over again.
She has read it for almost twenty times, but she kept imagining Teddy’s face no matter what.
She looked up eventually and saw Aaron beside herself already.
He smiled lightly, and when she made to talk, the MC spoke.
“Ok this is a rare performance guys! His name is Prince Charming, he’s a singer who asked that his face be kept hidden, please enjoy the lyrics as he performs”
Everyone went silent, expecting what’d happen next as a transparent curtain covered the stage.
Only the legs of the singer could be seen as he started playing the intro on the piano, leaving everyone speechless even with the tunes alone.
“Aww! You think he’s a student of our school?” Miranda gushed.
“Of course, everyone performing tonight is a student, no outsiders” Leslie replied.
Jennifer’s eyes widened immediately she saw the shoe of the hidden singer.
The exact shoes Teddy wore on the day they went to the river together. She recognized it cos he pulled it off that day before entering the water.
“Bear?” She whispered, her heart racing so loud in her ears as she waited nervously for him to sing.
? Give me your heart, I think it’s safer beside mine.
Immediately he sang the first line, the hall almost crumbled with crazy screams from students especially girls.
?️ Seriously who’s he?
?️ Prince Charming? So cute!
?️ Never knew there’s anyone in SRC with such a voice
?️ I love him already!
?️ I love you Prince Charming!
?️ Is he a shy person? Why hiding behind the curtains? I badly wanna see who he is!
Jennifer’s throat went dry, and she opened the poem with her with shaky hands, checking the first line.
It rhymes perfectly with the first line of the song, and her eyes widened more.
? Want your heartbeats as my lullaby, and your beautiful soul next to mine…oh baby…
?️ Whoaaaaaa!!!!!
? Losing sleep is nothing, I wanna talk to you forever, you own the thoughts in my heart, gorgeous
? You turn my emotions around, and I smile like a fool at your presence
? I’m afraid of losing you, I can’t even explain how much you mean… Oh..
? I wanna be wrapped in your arms, get lost in your eyes and listen to your baby voice, can’t Füçking resist you… Never ever..(echo)
?️ Füçkk!!!!
?️ I love you!!!
?️ Is he a celebrity singer or something?
?️ The voice!!!!
The hall became filled within minutes cos all the students outside came in just to listen.
Tears were already falling from Jennifer’s eyes even before the end of the song, and she ran out of the hall
Aaron ran after her and caught up in front of it, holding her back.
“I could just feel it! Aaron you didn’t write this” she snapped her arm off.
“Enny, I can…
“Don’t call me Enny! It’s Teddy! Teddy wrote it! I can’t believe you almost fooled me even when it’s clear that this is his handwriting, he’s the one on stage too!” She shouted, and Aaron tried holding her, but she stepped back quickly.
“Don’t touch me!!”
She ran out of the building, and when Aaron made to run after her, Vance appeared and held him.
“Stop now Aaron, you’ve done enough” he said, and tears escaped Aaron’s eyes shockingly.
•••
Jennifer didn’t stop running till she got to the poolside and held her chest, hitting it lightly as she cried.
She was still inhaling and exhaling tearfully on the spot when Teddy came out too.
He finished performing two minutes ago, and he had to come out through that door to avoid being seen.
He stopped walking immediately he saw Jennifer, and she blinked her teary eyes before running to him.
“You wrote this, right?” She showed him the poem, and he went silent, just staring at her face.
“And you’re… You’re Prince Charming, the singer….you sang this poem” she whispered, but still no answer from him.
She threw down the paper took his right hand, holding it tight as she cried more in front of him, not taking her eyes off his own.
“Please… Please love me back” she cried, and Teddy’s throat moved, but no emotions showed on his face as he took his hand from her.
He turned his back and started walking away, but he stopped after the fourth step.
Tears came out of his eyes too, and he suddenly turned back to her again.
His hand went to Angela’s necklace on his neck, and he cut it off as he began walking back to her.
He threw it into the pool just when he was about to get to her, and immediately he got to her, he grabbed her face with his two soft hands…
“You’re trapped now, with me forever. I love you gorgeous” he whispered, and their eyes went shut at once as his lips covered hers completely.
He kissed her delicious tenderness into his mouth so feverishly as her hands grabbed his shirt by the sides.
