Teddy tried breaking the hug after close to five minutes, but she refused, hugging him tighter.
“Let me inhale your scent for one more minute, I missed you” she whispered, and Teddy smiled, hugging her again.
“I missed you too, we didn’t see each other last night”
“You missed me too?” She quickly looked up, wanting to hear it again.
“Yeah, I did” he smiled, and she returned the smile, making her cheeks bulge.
“Your hair is growing long again” she suddenly noticed.
“I’m kinda hairy” he replied, and she raised her hand to his hair to rub it gently.
“I love your hair” she said before realizing.
“I love yours too” he replied, touching hers too.
They started smiling at each other, but she suddenly stopped her smile and looked down at his stomach.
“But your stomach is…
“Shhh” he placed a finger on his lips, and she blinked.
“I’m fine, cross my heart” he said, and she blinked again.
“Stop blinking” he replied, and she did it twice like a baby.
“You always act cute” he smiled, and she sighed.
“Promise me you’ll get well soon”
“I promise, happy now?” He said.
“Who are those thugs?” She asked curiously.
“I have no idea, but someone saved me” he replied, bringing out the ring.
“This is The Knights ring, they all have it on their finger” she gasped.
“My lifesaver was wearing this, it fell off and I caught it” he said.
“Meaning you were saved by one of them? Aaron is out of the list since I was with him last night, so…. It should be between Pascal and Vance” she nodded.
“You were with Aaron last night?” He asked.
“Yeah, he forced me to go eat dinner with him by seizing my phone, that jerk” she rolled eyes.
“It’s not his fault, he’s lonely” Teddy replied.
“Lonely? He has friends, he has his dad and mum…
“He’s not allowed to see his mum since The Mayor divorced her” Teddy cut in, and she blinked.
“Why?”
“They divorced because lady Regina once hired a manager who siphoned the company funds. Sunrise almost went bankrupt, but thanks to rich investors who poured investments on ruins. It came back to shape after one mouth, and The Mayor filed a divorce straight. To him, lady Regina is bad luck, and he h@tës it when Aaron makes contact with her, so she’s camped in Britain, and he hasn’t seen her for over ten years” Teddy replied.
“What!” Jennifer gasped shockingly.
“About his friends, let’s just say they’re sick of his toxic personality too. He’s always having issues with either Pascal or Vance, and he’s never in alliance with The Mayor too, he’s h@tëful” Teddy replied.
“Then what about you?” Jennifer asked slowly.
“I was even closer to Aaron than his friends before, but it all stopped last year during his senior year in highschool, he changed totally to me, he h@tës me” Teddy replied, and Jennifer sighed before covering her ears
“Ok enough of Aaron, let’s talk about you!”
“What about me?” Teddy blinked.
“What would you eat? I’ll get it for you” she said sweetly, and he smiled.
“I crave spaghetti”
“I’ll be right back!” She winked and hugged him again before rushing out of the ward.
Two minutes after she left, Mr Tiffin came in.
“Teddy!!!” He shouted, rushing to him.
“d@mn, why did the hospital call you?” He muttered as he hugged him.
“Cos I’m your only family you idiot! You should have called me first if anything happened, I worried so much last night that I almost died when you didn’t come home and didn’t pick up!” Mr Tiffin started crying, hugging him tighter, but he cringed when his tummy hurts.
“Wait!” Mr Tiffin broke the hug and raised the shirt to look at his tummy.
Immediately he saw the stitch, he cried more, and when he looked at his bandaged head too, he opened his mouth wide and cried out.
“My only son!!!!”
“Stop embarrassing me, dad” Teddy muttered as a nurse came in with a tray of his treatments.
“Will my son be ok? Will he be fine? Huh?” Mr Tiffin asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry sir, he’s responding to treatment just fine” the nurse smiled, checking Teddy’s vitals.
“Teddy!” Alex rushed in, and he sighed.
He actually called after Jennifer hung up the other time.
“Don’t start crying too, I’m fine” Teddy quickly said, and he covered his mouth with his palms immediately.
“My bestie!!!” He shouted.
“Gawd, I’m surrounded by clowns” Teddy muttered as the nurse wrapped a new bandage on his head.
The nurse finally left after packing up, and Jennifer came in.
She actually went home to dress up for school, planning to buy his breakfast on her way back, but luckily, Tanya was cooking the same thing when she got home, so she packed enough for him.
“You’re back” he smiled.
“Wait…you guys are dating?” Alex blinked.
“No!” Teddy quickly replied, and Jennifer bit her lip as she stepped forward.
“Goodmorning, sir” she greeted Mr Tiffin respectfully.
“Oh… The girl? You’re the one he’s always on call with, right? The one he went out with on Sunday” he replied funnily.
“Yeah” she smiled.
“Dad, please go home” Teddy replied.
“No I should say proper hello to my son’s girlfriend to be. You’re so pretty, what’s your name?” He asked.
“It’s Jennifer” she replied.
“Aww, pretty name for a pretty face” Mr Tiffin smiled.
“Alex please take him out” Teddy said, and Alex grabbed Mr Tiffin.
“Take care of my son, ok Jennifer?” He said, looking back as Alex pulled him out.
“Sure, don’t worry sir” she smiled till he was completely out, then she started laughing.
“He’s so dramatic!”
“That’s my old man for you” Teddy replied.
“But he’s lively” she said, dropping the food flask on the bed.
She got a tray from the nurses, then she settled the food in front of him.
“Smells nice” he nodded, inhaling the aroma.
“Mum is a good cook” she replied, taking the fork.
“What about you?” He faced her.
“I h@të cooking” she replied, and he pulled her cheek immediately, making her eyes widen.
“Spoilt brat” he giggled, and her cheeks reddened instantly.
“Why are you blushing?” He smiled.
“I’m not!” She replied, covering his eyes with her palms.
“Hey I need to eat” he said, and she removed the hands.
He dipped the fork into the spaghetti and tried feeding him, but he held her hand.
“I can help myself, baby face”
“But I want to feed you” she replied, and he sighed, stylishly taking the fork.
“You should go to class early, don’t be late cos of me”
“But…
“Else I won’t eat” he interrupted, and she frowned before standing.
“Wh@tëver!” She started walking out, but she suddenly turned by the door.
“I’ll see you soon, bye!… Teddy… Bear” she said and rushed out.
Teddy dropped the fork and smiled.
“Why is she so cute?”
•••
Kitty’s eyes opened at once, and she sat up in bed, looking around.
Immediately she saw she’s in her room, she dipped her fingers in her hair.
“I’m so dead, Pascal will get mad at me, I’m….
The entry of Pascal made her voice seize, and she swallowed hard as he walked briskly to her.
His plan was to yell at her, chastise her and scream in her ears for making him worry last night, but he lost the energy to do that before he could get to her. She’s just too fragile to get mad at.
Instead, he sat in front of her and hugged her tightly, stroking her hair as his eyes went shut.
“Pascal, are you mad at me?” She asked worriedly, afraid to hug him back.
He broke the hug and held her face.
“You almost got R@PED last night, what’d have happened if that boy didn’t save you from the bastard? Why did you do it?”
“I was… I just…. I wanted to… have fun” she said slowly, and he sighed with a nod.
“You could have told me, and I’d have taken you out for fun, and of all the places to have fun, you choose the club?”
“I’m so sorry Kiss, I won’t do it again, please forgive me and smile again, huh? I love you so much” she whispered, holding his face.
“I’m not mad at you, just promise me it won’t happen again” he replied.
“I promise, tell me you love me” she replied.
“I love you so much” he replied, and she hugged him tight.
He finally carried her in his arms after brushing with her, and they went downstairs together.
Anita set breakfast on the dinning table already, so he placed her on a chair and dished food for her.
She began eating, and he entered the kitchen to meet Anita.
She’s standing by the freezer, drinking from a cup of juice, but she quickly dropped it when she saw him.
“Goodmorning master”
He walked to her, hands in pocket as he stood in front of her.
“Sorry about yesterday, I was just…
“No it’s only normal you got mad at me, I slacked off, so I deserved it” she interrupted his words, and he smiled.
“So… You’re not mad at me?”
“No” she finally looked up, and he took the opportunity to hold her face.
He leaned in for a deep kiss, but she shifted away and bowed before walking out of the kitchen.
Pascal smiled and picked the cup of juice she dropped. He drank it all and nodded.

Titus was still dressing up for work when Veronica barged into his room with an envelope which she threw at his face.
“What’s this?” He spared the envelope on the ground a quick glance before looking at her.
“Let’s get a divorce” she replied without blinking, and he frowned.
“What!”
“Not like I gained anything from the marriage anyways, I’m the one who feeds you and clothe you. I bought you the two cars you have right now isn’t it? I’m the only one taking care of Cindy! You don’t even act like a father, all you do is make her h@të me so I think this should be really over right now, Titus” she replied hotly, and Titus picked the envelope.
He opened it and saw the papers for real. It has her signature already.
“You really want it this way?” He said without looking up at her.
“Sure , and I’m ready to give you all the money you want as alimony, just sign it and let’s end this filthy marriage” she replied, and he smiled.
“Fine, but Cindy is going with me”
A resounding smack landed on his cheek from Veronica, and redness took over that cheek.
“How dare you say that when you haven’t spent up to a billion on her! Say that again, and I’ll kill you! Sign that paper!” Veronica yelled, walking out of the room.
She got her phone and dialled The mayor’s line, saved as “Sweetheart” on her phone.
“Hey sweetheart!” She smiled widely, entering her room to sit in front of the mirror.
“All settled?” Mayor’s voice asked, and she began playing with her hair.
“Just a few more minutes, we’ll become one, sweetheart” she smiled.

Becca ran all the way to the vending machine with coins in hand, bumping into students as she ran.
Some even cursed her, and she fell repeatedly as she kept stumbling till she got to the machine.
She inserted all the coins at once, and she got three canned sodas before starting to run off again.
She got back to the graveyard in three minutes. Cindy and her minions were already waiting.
“I got the sodas” she announced, but a loud slap from Cindy made her fall, and the canned drinks flew off her hands.
“I gave you just two minutes, but you came back after making us wait for five?” Cindy said, kicking her face with her heels, and the sharp stone on the edge tore her cheek.
“She’s bleeding!” Seven laughed, and Cindy faced her.
“I’ll borrow your boyfriend for a bit” she said.
“What?” Seven blinked.
“Vernon, play with her a bit” Cindy ordered, and Vernon left Seven’s side immediately.
“Just for three minutes” Seven said.
“Deal” Cindy winked, and she held Becca down together with Seven.
Vernon tore off Becca’s blouse in the front, getting a hold of her B@@bs afterwards.
“Please don’t do it! Please don’t! Don’t!!!” Becca screamed, but he stopped her screams by leaning into her, capturing her lips in his mouth in a steamy kiss as he pressed her B@@bs hard.
“Harder Vernon!” Cindy laughed.
“One minute left!” Seven laughed.
Vernon continued his pressing and forceful kissing, and exactly one minute later, he stopped.
“Come, need to kiss her taste away from your mouth” Seven pulled him into a kiss immediately, and Cindy laughed, looking at Becca.
“Out” she ordered, and the helpless girl ran out with tattered blouse.
“Damnit! Harder!” Seven’s Mõ@ns reached Cindy, and she turned to see them Füçking already, right on the couch.
She witnessed Vernon’s d_1ck going in and out of her as they kissed roughly, and she hissed
“Füçk you both” she said and left the place.
She entered the BM hall, and she was lucky to see Jennifer. She ran to her and pulled her back.
“Cindy?” Jennifer rolled eyes
“Where’s Teddy? I haven’t seen him!” She demanded.
“He’s in my nose, pull him out” Jennifer replied sarcastically, and Cindy came closer
She was about to talk when they heard a loud noise from the rooftop.
Students were rushing out to watch what’s goin on too, and they joined the rush up the stairs.
“Jenn, you need to see this! Aaron is at it again!” Leslie and Miranda pulled her to a clear angle, and from there , she saw Alex and Alexa kneeling in the hot summer sun, sweating as hell
Aaron is in front of them, hands in pockets as he watched.
“They’ve been kneeling in the sun for hours” Miranda said.
“What the Füçk” she muttered and ran to the scene.
She made to help them up, but Aaron covered them, stopping her
“Let them go, what do you think you’re doing!” She snapped.
“You have no say in this, leave” he replied, and she slapped him without waiting, making everyone gasp.
Alexa folded her fists immediately.
Aaron swiped his tongue on the side of his burning mouth before smirking.
Jennifer made to go closer to the twins again, but he blocked her again.
“I told you to leave, this is none of your business”
“It’s my business if you chose to bully my friends” she replied bluntly.
“You can stop me from bullying others, but not these two” he muttered h@tëfully.
“Why?”
“They’re only paying for their sins” he said.
“Wh@tëver we did, please we’re sorry, let us go” Alex pleaded weakly at the verge of fainting, and Aaron kicked his mouth.
“Shut your trap!”
Alex fell on the ground with a bleeding mouth, and Jennifer’s eyes widened.
“Aaron!” She shouted, slapping him again.
Alexa stood immediately the slap happened, coming directly for Jennifer, and before anyone could get it, she pushed Jennifer on the chest, making her stagger back.
Jennifer fell on the sharp edge of the rooftop, and Aaron ran to her with wide terrified eyes, but before he could get to her, she dropped from the edge and started falling to the far ground.
All eyes bulged, and Aaron’s mouth parted together with his eyes.
“Jennifer no!!!!!!”
Everyone ran to the edge to peep down, and their eyes widened more when they saw she’s still falling, but a little before she’d land on the ground and crack her head open, someone appeared.
He ran to the spot below her and widened his arms. Jennifer directly into the wide arms, and they went down together, rolling on the ground till they stopped by a wall.
He was holding her head so tightly to his chest, and his face got bruised as a result of the fall.
Jennifer’s heart began beating so fast, and at the same time, his scent filled her nostrils.
“Tell me you’re ok, please” his sweet voice whispered.
TBC…
