Emory stayed in his arms for what looks like forever, and like magic, her body temperature started going down.
Levi hugged her tighter, diving his fingers into her dark sleek hair and allowing her to find calmness in his embrace__and his scent.
He broke the hug after five long minutes, and when her face came back to him, he he dabbed the streaks of tears with his warm thumb.
Emory wouldn’t stop staring at his eyes.
They’re not dark or blank or cold as usual. There’s a slight drop on his lids, and that seems to be covering his eyes like he doesn’t want to look at her or something.
He squatted in front of her suddenly, and she hiccupped as he took off his sneakers, leaving him barefoot.
He raised her right leg from the ground, and she quickly held his hair for balance as he inserted her leg into the sneaker.
It looks funny cos it’s way bigger.
“My leg is slim” she voiced out gently.
“I know” he replied, tying the lace before wearing the second one for her.
He stood and got another pair of sneakers from his bike safe, putting that on, then he climbed the bike.
“Home? I don’t wanna go home yet” she shook her head.
“I’m not taking you home yet. Come here” he replied, and she made to walk, but the big sneakers made her start dragging her feet on the ground.
She couldn’t help but laugh at herself, stopping after three drags.
Levi smirked knowingly.
“Levi are you enjoying this?” She chuckled, and he stretched his hand forward.
“C’mon, fox” he tilted his head.
She smiled and took two more drags before getting to him.
He took her hand and pulled her closer, covering the remaining distance.
He got the second helmet and wore it on her head, then he began strapping.
“I can do it myself” she said.
“I know, shh” he replied, and she smiled again.
He finished strapping, and she climbed behind him, wrapping her arms on his tummy.
“Wait…my car” she suddenly remembered.
“One of the workers here will take it back” he replied, kicking the bike to life.
He didn’t tell her to hold tight before moving, the jerk made her hold him tighter, her nails almost digging into his tummy.
He drove down the road, and two minutes into the drive, she was already feeling better.
The cold night breeze, the street lamps, the dark atmospheric aesthetic, the people and the cars.
Everything contributed so much in taking her mind on a peaceful trip, but the biggest contributor is the guy driving her right now.
How can a guy smell this good? She could just sleep off on his back, and her body on his own feels so soothing that she kept tightening her hold on him.
He’s as closed off as a chest, and no one has any idea what’s happening in his head, but the peace he brought her tonight will be remembered for long.
He calmed her, but his silence stabs.
Are they supposed to be talking when he’s driving?
No idea, but she wants to.
“Why don’t you have a car?” She asked suddenly.
Not for talking sake, but out of curiosity.
Levi is easily the richest guy in campus. He could buy as many cars he wants in a minute, but his low profile life is just cold.
“Cars are boring” he finally replied, and she pinched him on the tummy.
He didn’t even feel it or cringe.
“Dogs and cats are boring, and now cars too? What else is boring?” She said.
“Your questions” he replied.
“That hurts” she muttered, deciding the keep quiet as he finally pulled up in front of a store.
This time, he didn’t let her walk in.
Immediately he removed their helmets, he swept her up in his arms, and a gasp escaped her lips as the oversized sneakers fell from her foot.
She quickly fisted his shirt in the front for balance as he carried her into the store.
“Welcome to L&G sir, I’ll take you on a tour to our various sessions” an attendant bowed by the door.
“Needless, get me comfortable flip-flops, size 30” he said, and Emory’s eyes widened.
“Yes sir” the lady left to get the flops.
“How did you know my size? Wait… That other day when you bought me jean and shirt in school too… how did you know my waist measurement?” She said.
“Simple, I make good use of my medulla” he shrugged.
“Levi you’re lying” she replied.
“You’re fuçking obsessed with calling me that name at the beginning of every sentence” his eyes turned intriguing.
“It’s your name” she muttered, letting go of his shirt.
The lady finally arrived, and he dropped her.
The flip-flops is cream color with some golden rings and small beads as the adornments,, and it has some furry designs too by the sides.
She slid her legs in, and they fitted perfectly.
“That’ll be 100, sir” the lady smiled.
“100 what? For flip-flops?” Emory’s eyes widened.
“This is a brand store, miss. We only sell designers, and you’re wearing Prada flops” the lady replied.
Emory blinked thrice, and Levi gave the lady his card.
She swiped it on the machine and returned it.
“Thanks for coming!” The cheerful lady said, and Levi walked out nonchalantly.
Emory quickly went after him.
“We could have gone to a normal store” she said.
“Normal is boring” he replied.
“Are you always like this?”
“Yeah” he replied, and she stopped.
He stopped too, turning back to face her.
“Thought you wouldn’t stop” she smiled, walking to meet up with him.
There’s an ice cream place across the road, so he took her hand and crossed with her.
Her hand is so small inside his own, and she smiled inwardly when she felt the smallness.
“I hate ice cream” she told him.
“I know” he replied, going to the stand beside the ice cream shop
It’s a chocolate store, and her mouth watered immediately.
There’s a long line in front of the place, and they’ll have to wait for at least an hour if they really want to buy.
Levi easily went to the front and told the man in charge that he’s gonna pay for everybody, and he was allowed to get five cups.
After paying, the people in line started thanking him continually as he left with Emory.
“Wow, you’re rich huh?” Emory smiled when they got to a overpass not far from that road.
“Hmm-mm” he replied, handing her the bag.
She took it and got one cup of the Frozen Chic chocolate and the spoon.
Immediately she opened the cover and ate a scoop, her eyes widened.
“It’s so good! No wonder they have a long line there” she gushed, eating another spoon tastily.
She scooped the third spoon and brought it to Levi, wanting to feed him.
“Here, you should taste too” she said.
“I hate sweet things” he replied, and she blinked twice, unable to hide her disappointment before directing the spoon to her own mouth.
She ate alone, staring at the view of road below them while tapping her right foot repeatedly on the ground.
While she stared down, Levi’s eyes are totally on her… Unwavering.
“Levi” she suddenly called.
“Noah” he replied, and she faced him.
“Come to think of it, why would my parents give me a boy name as my second name” she made faces, her lips slightly stained with the chocolate.
“You never heard of unisex names? It’s for males and females” he replied, directing his gaze away from her face.
“Whatever… Why are you 25?” She asked suddenly, and she saw his eyes flicker.
“I spent four years home after an accident” he replied grimly.
“Accident?” She said curiously.
“Curiousity killed the cat, let’s go” he replied curtly, taking the remaining bag of chocolate.
Emory continued standing there dumbfounded.
Did she ask too much?
He stopped when he couldn’t feel her beside himself, and he turned back.
She quickly disposed the empty cup of chocolate with her and rushed to meet up.
They walked back to his bike, and the ride to her house was silent.
She got down when they arrived at her place, and he helped her take off the helmet.
The chocolate stain is still on her lips, and he stared at it for some seconds, his Adam’s apple moving hungrily.
“Go in” he told her, giving her the bag.
“Yeah… goodnight” she replied, taking it and going for the door.
Immediately she opened and stepped in, Levi drove off.
Luckily, no one is awake.
She went upstairs and checked Sybil’s room first.
She’s still fast asleep in bed, so she left for her own room.
When she left, Sybil’s eyes opened, and she sat up in bed.
She actually saw everything.
How Levi dropped her, the Prada flip-flops she’s wearing and a bag of chocolate from the most expensive chocolate company in this city.
She sighed, hanging her sleep mask on her head.
“She said she wasn’t interested in him” she muttered.

GUEVARA HOSPITALS*
Isaac was running as he came out of the cab that dropped him.
He literally dashed into the hospital, and he was breathless when he got to the reception.
“Isaac? Thank gawd you’re here” a doctor blocked him.
“How’s my mom doing?” He asked impatiently.
“Another hidden tumor surfaced in her front lobe, and we have to carry out the surgery unfailingly tomorrow” the doctor replied, holding his shoulder.
“You’re gonna open up her head this time?” Isaac said fearfully.
“Calm, she’ll make it. The problem is the expenses, you can get the bill from the nurses. I have to go now” the doctor said and left with another set of doctors.
“Here” a nurse handed him the bill card, and he almost fainted.
“It’s not month-end yet. I can’t get this amount tomorrow I swear. I…
“I’m sorry Isaac, but you know we never ask you to pay before surgery, and you’re already owing the hospital a lot. She needs this surgery” the nurse said as a matter of fact.
“Fûck… I’m really… I’m helpless and…
“I’ll pay” a familiar voice said behind him, and he turned to see Hyce standing there like a godsent.
“Hyce?” Isaac said, wiping the small tear in his eyes.
“Give me the bills” Hyce took it, and Isaac stepped back, sniffling as Hyce cleared the bills easily, even the ones he’s owing the hospital.
He came back to meet Isaac who’s standing gently beside the wall.
“All done, let’s go see your mum” he said.
“Thank you, I’ll pay you back I promise. I’ll work hard and pay you back” Isaac said, holding his hand.
Hyce looked at the contact before looking back at his face.
“No need” he said plainly.
“But…
“Your mum” Hyce cut him off, and Isaac sniffled before nodding.
They went to her ward together, and they met the woman conscious.
“Mum” Isaac rushed to her bedside to stroke her hair.
Hyce stood at a safe distance.
“Isaac” the woman smiled faintly, her wrinkled face full of worries.
“You’ll be fine, he helped me with the bills” Issac replied, gesturing at Hyce.
“Who’s…he?” The woman asked.
“A friend from school” Issac replied, and Hyce smiled with his lips.
A friend?
Isaac considers him a friend?
That’s a good start.

TERRAVERDE PALACE, 12AM*
Rebekah hasn’t stepped her room since nightfall.
She stayed in the first royal living room, and no matter what the maids said, she didn’t move.
She’s with her laptop, watching animes to kill time while eating popcorn lazily.
The maids surrounded her with their heads bowed respectfully.
There’s surely no sleep for them if she doesn’t.
Since Conrad left angrily in the morning, he didn’t come back, and she’s still hoping for his comeback unless he wants to stop sleeping here.
She picked another popcorn, but she was interrupted by the entry of someone into the main living room.
She stood and rushed there, and she felt relieved to see Conrad just coming in.
“Hey, thought you wouldn’t be coming” she said awkwardly.
He ignored her completely, settling on the couch.
He turned on the TV but they’re all about news and fuçking news, so he turned it off
“Bored out of my damn mind” he muttered, resting back and shutting his eyes.
“I’m sorry about what happened in the morning. I wasn’t expecting the kiss i…
Before she could land, he already stood and started climbing the stairs that led to the first balcony.
“Conrad! Connie!” She shouted after him, but he didn’t turn till he entered and shut the door.
“That mad guy, I’ve never apologized before cûnt! I hate you!!!” She yelled, feeling so pained as she stormed out.
She grabbed her laptop, pushed the popcorn away frustratingly and left for her room.
