“Lotus!, Lotus!” Martin called fearfully.
“Lotus!” Yolanda came rushing.
“What’s up?”
“She suddenly passed out” he replied.
“Then let’s contact the ambulance or ….
“No don’t take her to the hospital!” Anita said loudly but unfortunately no one could hear or see her.
“What happened to Lotus!” Constance rushed there with Rhythm.
“She passed out” Yolanda replied.
“Passed out?, I can still hear her breathing sounds” Rhythm said, listening closely.
“That’s quite true, get a bottled water Yolanda” Constance said.
“No!, Not water!, She’s just sleeping please don’t get it!” Anita shouted in vain
When she saw Yolanda kept going, she placed a leg on the way and Yolanda bumped into it, she fell immediately.
“Ouch!” She winced, her knees hurt.
“Sorry it’s not my fault” Anita said.
“Yolanda are you fine?” Bluey asked, coming too.
He helped her get up.
“I stumbled on something I don’t know what” she replied, looking around.
“The water!” Rhythm shouted.
“Oh the water!” She replied and made to leave again but Anita made her fall again.
“What the f*ck!” She spat, hurting her second knee.
“Lotus!” Martin called when she opened her eyes.
“Who…are you?” She asked drowsily.
“Martin, are you ok?” He asked and her eyes widened.
She spranged up from his arms and was surprised to see them all around.
She could still remember sleeping off.
“What happened?” She asked.
“You passed out” Constance said.
“Oh…I guess..”
“Are you ok?, Your temperature is abnormally low, it’s too cold” Martin said and tried to feel her temperature again but she shifted back.
“I’m fine, thanks guys, I must have stressed my voice so much during practice” she replied.
Bluey helped Yolanda up and and she started limping.
“Yolanda!” She rushed to her.
“I was rushing to get water to sprinkle on you but I fell twice, a spirit lives here I think” Yolanda said.
Lotus looked at Anita and Anita shrugged.
“I’m so sorry” Lotus said.
“It’s ok, I’ll be fine after treatment” Yolanda smiled.
Lunch is already over so they all went back into the studio for the last session.
It ended at 1pm and everyone came out exhausted.
“What should we eat?, Let’s eat something in a restaurant” Bluey suggested.
“You love restaurant foods I noticed” Yolanda said .
“Two devils live with me if not three” he replied.
“Devils?” Constance asked.
“Yeah, so eating in that house I h@të it” he replied.
“His dad is the number one devil” Martin said.
“Chairman Kings?” Rhythm asked.
“Yes, and his stepsister is the second one” Martin replied.
“What’s her name again” Yolanda said.
“Lavender” Constance replied.
“And his stepmother Kiki is the third one” Martin said.
“Oh that’s bad, problem of extended family” Lotus said.
“So you know what extended family is?, I’m amazed” Martin teased and she made to hit him but he hid.
“I’m not completely dumb” she rolled eyes.
“So where should we go?, What should we eat?” Bluey asked.
“I know of a very good sushi place, let’s go have some sushi” Rhythm suggested.
They drove behind each other to the restaurant and ordered sufficient sushi then they began stuffing their faces with it.
“This is delicious!” Lotus said, eating fast as usual.
“You always have a great appetite, I’m jealous” Bluey said.
Anita is standing behind Lotus, licking her lips as Lotus ate.
“It’ll really be delicious” she said, licking her lips again.
Constance picked one from her meal and continued chatting with the guys.
Anita took it from her chopsticks and ate it.
“Lotus this is delicious!, I want it!” She whined.
Constance shoved empty chopsticks into her mouth.
“Wait… what..” she said shockingly.
“What?” Rhythm asked.
“I picked from my meal but couldn’t find it” Constance replied.
“Are you thinking about the exams already?, Stop thinking too much” Yolanda said.
“But I’m serious” Constance said but no one listened.
“Why don’t we tease Starr a little?” Bluey winked.
“No” Martin replied.
“I want to” Bluey replied and got his phone.
He video called Starr and when he picked, he gasped.
“You guys are having fun without me!”
“We’re at a sushi place, it’s so yummy!” Bluey said, eating temptingly.
“Hey Starr!” Constance waved her plate.
“This excludes you” Yolanda winked.
“You guys are…” Starr said.
“We’re having fun!, Come if you can” Rhythm said.
“You’re really missing a lot” Martin waved his chopsticks.
“Umm… you’re….you should come” Lotus said without realizing then bit her lip afterwards.
“You obviously miss him!” Anita gushed from behind her.
“And you were right, he’s handsome!” She continued.
“Stop talking Anita, I can’t even think straight” Lotus said out
“Who’s Anita?” Martin asked as everyone stared at her.
Lotus touched her hair, looking for a suitable way to get out of the Sh|t hole she threw herself in.
“Anita… she’s..
“Tell them you just said a line from the drama you watched last night” Anita whispered.
“Oh it’s a line from the drama I watched yesterday” Lotus said.
“Oh, title?” Constance asked .
“Say The mermaid and the ghost” Anita whispered.
“You’re so dead when we get home Anita” Lotus thought.
“The mermaid and the ghost” she said.
“I’ve never heard of it but I bet it’s interesting for you to suddenly say a line from it” Yolanda said.
“I guess..” Lotus smiled.
“Ok let’s vote, if you know Starr will come, raise your hand” Bluey said.
Constance, Yolanda and Bluey himself raised their hands.
“He won’t come, raise your hand” Bluey said.
Martin and Rhythm raised their hands.
“Lotus” Bluey called.
“Oh me?, I…I… dunno” she replied.
“Just pick one” Bluey replied and instantly, the pomelo scent filled her nose.
“He’s here!” She said loudly.
Starr really entered immediately.
“Wow!, Is this some sort of magic?, You said he’s here and he came” Rhythm said.
“So I’m here!” Starr said loudly, smacking Bluey on the head
“F*ck you bro” Bluey laughed, rubbing his head as he sat beside Rhythm.
“Ahjumma, a serving of sushi please!” He said.
“Coming!” The woman replied.
“You guys made my mouth water and I started feeling hungry immediately we ended the call, and you expect me not to come?” He said.
“Jerk” Martin smiled.
“Punk” Starr laughed.
“So how was the practice?”
“Mr Roger and Miss Stacy surely know how to wear one out, we spent two hours in the first session then an hour in the second one, it was so hectic but it yielded well” Constance said.
“Give me a tip of the birthday song” Starr said
“Not allowed” Rhythm rolled eyes as Starr’s order arrived.
He ate slowly.
“You’re the complete opposite of someone here when is comes to eating” Bluey said.
“Lotus Watergire?” Starr replied and Lotus’s heart raced.
Hearing him call her full name made her cheeks heat up .
“Hey you’re blushing” Yolanda noted and she quickly covered her cheeks.
Martin looked at her noticed her hair was stained with the meal.
It must have mistakenly dipped into the meal when she was eating.
“Childish girl, stay still” he said, getting his handkerchief.
He took the strand of hair and started wiping with his hanky.
Starr lost appetite immediately and dropped his chopsticks, watching them as he folded his arms.
“What?” Bluey asked beside him.
“What what?” Starr replied.
“What what what” Bluey replied and Starr hit him.
“Ouch!, Why am I always getting bullied by you rogue!” Bluey pouted.
“Be careful next time, don’t stain your gorgeous hair” Martin said after cleaning
“Thanks” Lotus smiled.
“Wow!, Enolla will be coming to the party on Tuesday” Constance said.
“Enolla Armstrong?, That smiling witch” Yolanda said.
“I see no reason why everyone h@tës her, she’s lovely and cute and…
“Only to you, she tops the list of the girls I h@të, I’ve not met her before but the way people talk about her around me created my hatred for her” Bluey said.
“I just love her smile” Constance said, liking all the pictures Enolla just posted on her Instagram page.
She commented “CUTE YOU ROLE MODEL” on it.
“You’re following her too?, Gosh you follow everyone” Rhythm said.
“I love her, leave me” Constance winked.
“The fact that she’s the only heiress to Shine group makes her feel big, heard she’s proud” Martin said.
“Exactly my point!, I h@të proud people!” Bluey said.
“Starr is the heir to DJS group yet he’s humble, Bluey is the heir to Kings group and he’s humble too, I see no reason why she should behave like an alpha” Yolanda said.
“She replied my comment!” Constance said.
“I bet you’ll cry soon” Rhythm said.
Constance opened the reply and gasped.
TWO MINUTES LATER**
“Stop crying Constance” Lotus said.
“How could she be so rude, she hurt me” Constance cried.
NOT EVERYONE CAN CALL ME ROLE MODEL, YOU CAN’T CALL ME THAT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION SO DELETE THIS COMMENT
That was what Enolla replied with.
“I told you” Yolanda said.
“She’s worse, I can’t take this!” Constance cried and got her phone again.
She unfollow her immediately before dropping her phone again.
“I’m hurt!!” She cried.
Lotus and Starr’s eyes met and she managed to smile.
He looked away from her and she wondered why.
“Why did you allow that Martin guy to touch your hair, your soulmate is obviously jealous” Anita whispered behind her.
They left the place in the evening and each drove home.
