< SAME NIGHT~~ROYCE’S MANSION >

 

After dropping Sierra back at her house in awkward silence, Royce returned home only to meet his best friend in his house doing what he does best – Watching porno

 

Few minutes of bickering, he took a bath and came down for dinner

 

“Dude you look sick” Jason said, scanning his face as it looked pale

 

Royce nodded

 

“I feel sick” He replied and Jason moved over to check his temperature with the back of his palm

 

“You’re burning? Sh!t!” He gasped and Royce sighed nodding slowly

 

“Is it that bad?” He asked

 

” Yes. That’s fever. What the hell have you been doing not taking care of yourself. You’re lucky mom isn’t here right now to smack your little a**” Jason chuckled taking a spoonful of rice to his mouth

 

Royce hummed absentmindedly and leaned into his chair. His mind wandered to Sierra and he pouted recalling how she kept looking out through the drive

 

Did he get ugly for her to stop looking at him?

 

“Dude you’ve always been ugly” Jason stared at him and he blinked

 

Did he say that out loud?

 

“What’s wrong with you bro..you looked like you fcked the wrong pssy” Jason jibed and he scoffed

 

” Oh gosh Jason. Why do you say vague things”

 

“I swear that’s how you look, so which pssy did you fck. You get a slap in return?”

 

” I kissed someone” Royce blurted and the next milliseconds, Jason pushed out the rice from his mouth in a puff and it spilled all over the table

 

“Ewww. F*ck Jason” Royce stood up, scrunching his face in disgust

 

” You kissed a woman? My baby boy is now a complete man” Jason blew him a kiss and he showed him the middle finger

 

“What happened to kissing creates a bonding that shouldn’t be…oh and how disgusting to take someone else’s spit and the lot…” Jason mocked going after him to the living room, he sat and scuttled closer to him like a girl anticipating juicy gossip

 

“What are you doing?” Royce glared at him and he shrugged picking his nails nonchalantly

 

“Nothing. I just wanna know who the lucky person is. Cos it’s definitely not Eve, she’s still in Georgia” Jason pointed a stare at him and he bit his lip

 

“I keep forgetting about Eve..but she?” Royce whispered the last part, he was referring to Sierra and her pretty face that he keeps seeing everywhere

 

“I’m not a love doctor but I try sometimes. You don’t L.O.V.E Eve. You like her but love? You’re too f*cked up to love man. I even pity whoever you kissed, she’s unlucky. Of all the men, you?” Jason smirked shifting back

 

“Thanks for the harsh words, doctor cupid” Royce said grumpily and tucked his hands into his pockets as he was feeling cold

 

Jason saw this and shook his head, he knows how much Royce hates hospitals so…

 

“I’ll send some drugs over…please take them, for your mom’s sake” He said worriedly an Royce nodded

 

” Yeah thanks man” He whispered as his body was getting weak

 

“So who did you give your first real kiss to, yunno what I mean…” Jason laughed and Royce shuddered dramatically, he started laughing along too

 

“I can’t believe you kissed me… Jason I hate you” He said laughingly as he recalled how awkward it was… Jason was dared to kiss a bimbo but instead, he kissed his best friend

 

College was at some point crazy for them

 

“Man…I miss those days, still…I wanna know who she is, I bet she’s done something worth it. Is it Ellen? That btch is nice, so very nice sometimes I wonder why she fcks you” Jason rasped and Royce shook his head, standing up, he went to the foot of the stairs and held the railings

 

” I need a new heart, please put out list of donors for me… This one, is racing. It think it’s abnormal…it is right?” He began climbing

 

Jason watched him amusedly, he chuckled in a stupid way before standing up from the chair

 

“Sierra?” He called and Royce halted feeling his heart thump

 

“Clean up the mess you made in the dining room. Don’t forget to send the drugs too. Goodnight” He rushed his words and walked away

 

Jason burst into laughter while ruffling his hair

 

“This is crazy man. I always knew something major was going to happen with her around. She’s cute.” He said but frowned almost immediately

 

“Eve…sh!t! Royce what is going to happen now? You can’t just leave Eve….argh, f*ck feelings” He whined throwing his legs like a child

< 9PM~BLUEHADES >

 

In the corner of the club were seated two sexy ladies keenly watching the strippers. They already danced and were now drinking

 

“She’s got a nice bo*ty” Chloe smirked sipping her tequila slowly

 

Sierra hummed in agreement and took her shots swiftly

 

Clubbing on a rainy night? Well Chloe suggested it and offered a ride so she couldn’t refuse her. Presley was stuck up wherever but she claimed to be fine so they didn’t push further

 

“I mean look at that a**” Chloe said and Sierra hummed again

 

” Okay, S what’s wrong with you huh?” She pouted and Sierra sighed

 

” I’m depressed”

 

” I am too but I’m not humming like a bee, am I?” Chloe rolled her eyes “So why are you depressed?”

 

“What’s your plan since Wyatt is a lost cause, are you on a break like me?” Sierra asked and Chloe shrugged

 

” I have no plans actually. I’ve been busy at work so much I don’t know myself anymore” She whined and Sierra smiled

 

” It’s okay baby… We work for the money”

 

“Yasss… The moneyyy” Chloe raised her glass and sipped

 

” You ever kissed someone’s boyfriend before?” Sierra asked suddenly and Chloe raised a brow

 

“Whose boyfriend did you kiss?” She asked

 

“I’m just asking, gosh, you’re so gossipy” Sierra chuckled though she felt guilty for lying, she wasn’t ready to make a topic about that mistake

 

“I wish I could tho. I mean, I’m 28, I don’t know sh!t about cooking, I starve like a caveman, I’m single. That’s worth being depressed about” Chloe sighed sadly and Sierra pouted fluttering her lashes cutely

 

“Wow, you’re miserable. I feel for you, my heart is trying to reach out but nah… I never sent your mama not to whoop your a$$ and force you to cut the broccoli” Sierra sassed and flaunt her hair while Chloe gasped

 

” Meanie!! ”

 

“That’s my middle name, lazy a$$ b*tch” Sierra shouted and everyone diverted their gazes towards her

 

“Keep dancing people” Chloe shouted and everyone continued doing what they were doing

 

The girls looked at each other and burst into laughter

 

“Should we send Presley our depressed faces?” Chloe asked amidst the laughter and Sierra nodded

 

“Hashtag depressed S and C” She suggested and Chloe nodded taking out her phone

 

“I love you S.!!”

 

“Me too C.!!” They screamed as they made funny poses at the camera

< BRANDON’S MANSION >

 

Presley placed a kiss on Asher’s forehead and tucked him properly in bed before standing up to leave. She bumped into Lilith on her way out

 

Lilith had been there all along actually, and she was fuming angrily

 

“Hey careless!” Presley smirked

 

“What are you doing, are you trying to take my job?” Lilith rasped and Presley gasped widening her eyes

 

” Me? A lawyer after a nanny’s job? That’s not even a dream hunny, ask me something else” Presley folded her arms

 

” Why haven’t you left this house yet?” Lilith barked

 

“That’s for Brandon to ask, try something else and worth answering. Maybe you can ask, why are you so sexy. I mean, look at me, damn!” Presley bragged twirling angering Lilith more

 

” You… ”

 

” Are not worth speaking with, I rather speak to Chloe’s yet to be purchased cat than you. I’ll be off now, you can go do your precious job” Presley mocked and catwalked away

 

Lilith watched her till she was gone to another hall, she folded her fist and punched the wall

 

“Ouch!” She screeched as it began bleeding profusely, “This is all her fault” She cried

 

°BRANDON’S STUDY°

 

Presley was walking aimlessly around the hallway in search for Brandon, she walked passed the room but retreated when she felt she saw a figure and indeed she did

 

Brandon stood with his back against her as he spoke on a call. He was wearing a black singlet leaving his muscled arms on display down to his slim waist. He even had tattoos at the back of his neck… Something she just noticed

 

“Jumbled cement? Seriously? He’s hot I gotta admit” She thought and shook her head before entering fully. Brandon was done with the call, he turned and rolled his eyes when he saw her

 

“What are you still doing here? Where’s your babe?” He mocked and went to sit

 

Presley cussed at him inwardly and sat on the leather couch

 

” He’s on his way, don’t be too concerned. Be happy I decided to grace this house with my lovely self” She scoffed

 

Brandon smirked, ” Lovely my foot!”

 

“What?”

 

“He should better come get you else you’ll be sleeping outside. I hate your guts and I don’t want you near me” He looked at her

 

” It’s mutual Mr. Campbell but I think you should speak with me with a little respect since you desperately want what I have… Like an industrial land” Presley smirked wiggling her brows

 

” I know. But I don’t care right now. All I want is you outta my house, since I still own it!” He stressed

 

Presley gulped, frowning, he looked dead serious which meant he’d be throwing her out soon.

 

“You brought me here right? Did I ask you to help me out there huh? So deal with it! ” She snapped and he smirked

 

” So your babe’s not coming. What a pathetic lady you are” He mocked and her frown deepened

 

” Just shut up” She snapped and just then her phone dinged, it was Chloe’s text of the pictures they took from the club

 

“I’m here with this jerk and they’re clubbing?” She pouted sillily and sent crying emojis

 

Brandon shook his head as he watched her get engrossed in whatever she was doing on her phone

 

“Such a wild character” He thought and faced his work

 

Hours later….

 

Brandon sighed as he got up from the kneeling position he was initially in front of Presley, he closed the balm and placed it on the table. She was fast asleep when he rubbed it on her ankle

 

“I can’t believe you had your way” He thought looking deeply at her.

 

He sighed again and gently heaped her in his arms, carrying her phone along. He kept looking at her face which was covered with her hair, she looked so harmless and innocent that he doubted she was the same person who literally annoyed crap out of him back in the study

 

Before falling asleep, Presley took it upon herself to piss him off. And when she did sleep off, he weirdly wanted her to keep going

 

He dropped her in one of the guest rooms, before leaving for his room

 

“Turns out her babe is a prick” He muttered as he got under the shower

 

< THE NEXT MORNING >

 

Presley came downstairs putting on different clothes and flip flops sent by Brandon.

 

She was muttering incoherent words to herself as she descended, still not believing that rude man took her to that room but then who else is that strong to?

 

“Tch…” She scoffed finally reaching the foot of the stairs

 

She licked her lips when she saw the numerous foods on the dinning table across the room

 

“Perfecto” She smiled and rushed towards the dinning, stopping midway when she saw Brandon sitting there like a king

 

He had a mischievous smirk on his face

 

“You’re on your way right?” He asked and she returned her gaze to the food reaching for a cookie

 

“H.. heyyy” He caught her hand and stood up still smirking while she squeezed her face

 

” What are you doing, I’m hungry. I’ll leave after eating” She shouted but he shrugged and started dragging her across the room

 

“I swear I’ll leave. Just one cookie, please…” She begged and he stopped

Kindly Hi Amazing Stories on zero nine zero seven four two nine two three four seven to join our story group

” You begged me? Wow, I like this new Presley Martinez”

 

” F*ck…” Her sentence was cut short when she found herself out of the house, she blinked

 

” Hey… Brandon, this is not how to treat a lady” She banged the door

 

“Beg me Presley or call your babe…” He smirked

 

” Asher, come help me. Your father Is being mean to me” She whined banging the door

 

” It’s past eight Ms. Martinez, Asher is at school” Brandon said locking the door

 

” What?” She screamed and he burst into laughter stunning hell out of the maids and Lilith inclusive, she was happy he threw Presley out but this…

 

Since Emma’s death, this is the first time he was laughing and that too this hard and because of who?

 

“My clothes, I left my clothes. Let me get them” Presley said

 

” No way Ms. Martinez, I’ll send the maids to get them for you. You’re not stepping foot back here” He chuckled

 

” My car…” She said and he started laughing again, if this is what teasing was, then he loved it. She was now off her high horse. This brought him so much joy that he had to laugh not minding the shocked looks on his employees faces

 

Lilith blinked and took a step but ended up falling from the stairs where she stood

 

Brandon looked at her and walked by like nothing happened

 

It was the maids now laughing at her as she winced in pain

 

“Brandon!!” Presley yelled and sat on the floor going through the contacts for Easton’s number

< 8:45AM~ROYCE’S MANSION >

 

Sierra alighted her car and drew in a whiff of air before heading into the house. She cleared her throat about to speak but stopped when she saw someone familiar

 

“Kelsey?” She blinked staring at the almost unrecognizable figure in front of her

 

Kelsey was covering a scarf on her face, she looked thinner and had red marks all over her arms. She had purple swelling under her eye

 

“Sierra?” Kelsey covered the scarf properly and shifted

 

Sierra blinked coming back to earth, she gulped and moved closer to Kelsey

 

“What…how? Didn’t you go on a vacation? So…this?” She asked in disbelief and Kelsey bit her lip

 

” Seems boss is not home. I came to give him this.” She gave an envelope to Sierra

 

” You quit?” Sierra shrieked after going through the content

 

“Please give it to him. I’m moving to Alaska back to my parents house. I need to clear my head Sierra, please stay with him, he’s a good person” Kelsey said and began walking out but Sierra held her wrist

 

“This…he abused you right?” She asked referring to the bruises

 

” Don’t tell boss please. He’s in jail now and that’s why I’m moving back home. Bye” She left hurriedly and Sierra blinked shaking her head

 

” That scumbag boyfriend of her’s” She seethed and frowned

 

She felt like punching something so badly, she felt for Kelsey but she worried how to not tell Royce since Kelsey was like his little sister

 

And Royce? She looked around, why was no one here?

 

She climbed the stairs going to the study but stopped to check in his room. She knocked first but got no response, when she was about leaving, she heard a groan from inside

 

“Royce? I’m coming in, please don’t be naked” she rolled her eyes and pushed the door open

 

“Hot, hot..” She ran outside due to the heat emanating from the room. It was like a steam room. The windows were closed, he even put on the heater and worse, he was wrapped in thick blankets

 

“Sierra?” Royce mumbled dryly and rolled to see her fanning herself with her fingers

 

His fever had gotten worse from last night, Jason checked on him this morning and gave him some drugs too which he didn’t actually take. – for the hate of drugs

 

“Are you baking yourself?” She questioned and he smiled, he weirdly felt a bit better the moment he saw her

 

She dropped the files she brought along on a stool and used the back of her palm to check his temperature

 

“Holy Heavens” She flinched, he was burning almost at a 100° or more

 

” I’m fine” He coughed out and she hissed

 

” You’re burning..like hell” She said worriedly and he smirked checking her out

 

“You are hell so..”

 

“How can you flirt at such a time.’m leaving, do whatever suits you. I’m guessing Jason checked on you already. Sign those when you’re strong. Bye!” She turned to leave but he quickly got hold of her wrist

 

Sierra gasped at the electrifying contact and turned slowly raising a brow

 

“Don’t go…stay with me please…” He pleaded staring into her eyes
