Chapter 12

RICHIE'S MANSION*

It's bedtime, but Jessica is still not back, and that got Richie pacing around.

He's wearing a really baggy sweater and joggers cos of the cold, and he held his phone with his right hand while the left one stayed in his pocket as he dialled Jessica's line repeatedly, but she's not picking.

He can't sleep on a bed without her, and sleeping on a couch is too uncomfortable. Sleeping in the tub will be hell cos of the cold right now.

He was about to dial her line again when her video call came in on WhatsApp.

He picked, and her face came to view in a noisy club where she's surrounded by several guys.

"I want you to miss me tonight baby! You'd know my worth by the time I return tommorow morning, and the p*ssy you love f**king is gonna get f**ked by two guys tonight. I'm gonna be doing a freaking threesome!" She shouted, and Richie could clearly see the guys fondling with her b**bs already.

"Goodnight baby!" She shouted and hung up.

Without saying a word, he got the duvet from the bed and left the room, going downstairs.

He was about to lay on the couch when he saw an hairpin on the ground.

He slowly picked it when he remembered he saw it in Lovelyn's hair earlier, and he eventually lay on the couch, staring at it.

He got his phone and went to his contacts to look at her number which he saved as LOVIE, and he was almost tempted to dial, but he stopped himself and dropped the phone.

He folded his palm on the hairpin and covered himself with the duvet as his long lashes hugged each other.

He drifted off to sleep after some hours.

NEXT DAY, HORIZON HIGHSCHOOL*

The senior class students could be seen hanging around, trying to revise their notes for the upcoming test.

Mabel is currently in the restroom with the expo papers, she's still trying to memorize the answers to the objective questions.

"1A, 2C, 3A, 4B, 5E...

"Is that the expo papers?" A voice said behind her, and she turned briskly to see Ruby.

"So.. what? You're gonna report me?" She said, and Ruby smiled.

"Report? I'm not that daft, let's memorize together" she said and came closer.

"You're a VIP too, your parents didn't get it for you?" Mabel rolled eyes.

"They hate things like this so let's just share" Ruby replied, and they began memorizing together.

Lovelyn has been watching from the door, and the moment she saw that, she turned to leave, but she saw Bernie ahead.

"F*k!" Her eyes widened, and she took the other way.

"Nice escape" Bernie smirked and got a call immediately.

"You planted the tracker in her hair already? Good job" he said and hung up.

He smiled before walking away.

AN HOUR LATER*

The test was finally over, and students began filing out of the senior class tiredly.

"I'm sure I'd get an A, I did everything correctly!" Ruby said.

"Is that a joke? You've never had an A, it's always D" Mira replied.

"You'd be shocked this time, let the results come out tommorow first" she said, and Lovelyn bit her lip, remembering when she saw her memorizing the answers with Mabel earlier.

"Let's go eat snacks at the cafeteria" Mira said, and they were about to move when students began screaming.

👥 Lady Genevieve!!!

👥 Now I know where Mabel got her perfect skin from!

👥 She's so beautiful!

👥 I wish she's my mum!

👥 She's pretty!

Lady Genevieve walked into the hallway dressed in her usual regal appearance with students shouting behind her, and at the same time, Vista came out of the classroom with Bernie and Savage.

"Told you you're in trouble" Savage said as Lady Genevieve walked straight to them.

She singled Vista out and slapped him hard, causing everyone to gasp.

"How dare you touch my daughter!" She demanded, and Vista rubbed his cheek.

Bernie and Savage were about to step in when Mabel came out of the class.

"Mum! I told you it was a mistake! He has a crush on me so there's no reason for him to hit me intensionally" she ran to her, and Lady Genevieve scoffed.

"Whatever. Either intentionally or mistakenly, I hate seeing you get hurt, your skin is too precious" she said, and Mabel smiled.

"I'll just go see the principal, let's go" she said and pulled Mabel along as she left the hallway.

Vista caressed the walls of his mouth with his tongue and smiled.

"Fine. I'll play with you a bit, Mabel. I can be insane too" he muttered.

*

CLOSING HOUR*

Richie's car drove into the lot, and Mira was the first person he met when he came out.

"Smartie, what are you doing here?" She asked.

"Is Lovelyn gone already?" He asked.

"Yeah, that's her car ahead" she replied, pointing at it.

He got back in his car and started following the car. He's actually planning to return her hairpin.

The car was driving too fast on the road, so he couldn't catch up till it arrived at an old street.

The car stopped in front of a semi-basement apartment, and Lovelyn came out.

Jackson drove the car away immediately, and she went in.

Richie came out of his car in shock, staring at the apartment.

"She lives here? Her mum is an investor so...."

He stopped talking and went in nevertheless.

Immediately he went in, Bernie's car stopped in front of the house too.

He has been trailing her, thanks to the tracker he had someone plant on her.

"I knew it, she's a broke @ss" he muttered.

*

Richie got to the door of Lovelyn's room and met it open, and he saw her.

She changed from her school uniform to a bum short and singlet already, and she's currently dancing to 'GUM' by Jessi.

She's playing the song so loud on her phone, and she's using the same phone as microphone to sing along, dancing so wild.

🎶 Gum gum gum gum...

🎶 Gum gum gum (gum)

Richie's eyes widened as she began moving her waist, it was so s*xy that he almost forgot he was standing by her doorstep.

She's living here? In a semi-basement apartment? Has she been lying?

Lovelyn is so much into the dance that she didn't even notice someone is watching by the door.

Richie was still standing there when Bernie came into the apartment too, and his eyes widened when he saw him coming towards that direction.

He quickly entered the room and shut the door, and that brought Lovelyn back.

She stopped dancing and turned around only to see Richie in her house.

Her eyes widened, and she parted her lips...

"Rich...

Before she could land, Richie was already with her.

He drapped an arm drapped on her waist as he pulled her to himself, making her b**bs slam on his chest, and she grabbed his upper arms for support.

She made to call his name again, but he quickly placed his pointer finger on her lips...quick but gentle.

"Shh" he whispered, holding her tighter by the waist.

"Lovelyn!" Bernie shouted from outside.
