Chapter 7: you don't scare me no more! Giraffe 2
Did she just blush?
At Cyrus??
"Wait, what was she doing here in the first place?" he wondered
Wheeeee
Retreat to your lounge!
Aspen dashed out of the basket ball court in full speed before anyone could even think of leaving.
Cyrus smiled.
Sky's jaw dropped
King gritted his teeth
Asher dragged Theo to get some photos with the girls. While Cleo walked over to King and smiled seductively. "hey King, wanna hangout?" She winked at him and rubbed her full chest against his.
"Hmm"
Outside
Aspen held two bottles of mineral water hoping to give Sky as usual. But then she remembered what he did and was about to dispose it before she saw the trindom, Sky and Cyrus. Her eyes darted to King's side again and was locked on the blonde girl standing next to him intimately.
'isn't that Cleo?' She asked herself as she glanced at the two bottles in her hand. 'what's she doing with King??'
Cyrus sighted Aspen from afar and jogged to her with his long legs.
Aspen saw two feets in front of her which made her raise her head. Being a 5 ft and 3 inches girl, she appeared to be way too short compared to a 6 ft tall Cyrus.
"Do you mind?" he asked as he pointed to the water bottle.
"ah? Ah! No no!" she stuttered as she handed it over to him. Some how, she noticed the look on Sky's face who was few feet away from them.
"I actually got it for you!" Aspen added as she tugged on his arm. Cyrus froze as he was about to open it.
"for real?" he asked shocked.
"Yeah! I figured you'd be thirsty after those amazing moves back there" she said as she moved her body in a funny way which made Cyrus chuckle. He gently rubbed Aspen's hair gently and said "thanks for being thoughtful" making her smile sheepishly as they both walked way together.
'Someone must be eating vinegar now' she thought with a smile.
Back in class
"Your assignments has been forwarded to your mails. That's all for today."
The computer master said as the closing bell rang.
Everyone grabbed their bags and walked out of the room.
Aspen gasped "my coding!!" immediately, she brought out her phone and continued from where she stopped.
2Hours later
"poppie, let's go now." She heard her brother's voice. Finn who grabbed Aspen's bag and purple box.
"why are you here?" she asked as she stared at her brother who had left the class. "had a hunch that you would forget about coming back home early which you already did"
Aspen: 😅😅
"Give me few minutes, am Almost done" she biggest with puppy eyes making Finn groan. "ughh come on!"
"am done! Two games done, three to go!" she exclaimed gleefully. Finn chuckled.
They both headed towards the elevator. "didn't anyone notice you?" she asked as soon as they entered the elevator.
"who? If you mean the students, then you're joking" he joked.
Aspen raised a brow.
"you're the only one in school...well apart from the gatekeeper and your friends"
"You mean it's late!!!???" Aspen asked in bewilderment as she placed her hand over her mouth.
Ignoring his sister's reaction, he added "About Sky, he said you were mad at him because he didn't tell you about his cousin"
Aspen got angry again as her brother mentioned his name again. "is he gone?" she questioned.
"Chill fireball! He's downstairs waiting for you....with Cyrus"
"Oh ok....you know Cyrus?"
"yeah why?"
Ding! The elevator door opened and the walked out.
"nothing....can I have my chocolate bar now?" Aspen asked after awhile. "yeah, when we get home."
"oh. Thanks bro!"
The duo made their way down to the car in silence. "hey!" Cyrus called out to Aspen who picked up her pace immediately she saw him. "Cyrus!"
"Good thing you're out now, we've been calling you since ages" he said as he held her hands with a smile on his face.
"Oh sorry....I got carried away." She replied with flushed cheeks.
"no problem, I'll take my leave now. Bye!" he waved ay them before boarding his rode back home.
"Sky, you can come out now, she won't eat you. Yet. Or else we'll leave without you!" Finn said as he closed the car door where Aspen had entered.
"Am out! Am out! Let's go!!"
At home
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!" Aspen screamed in anger.
"Now whaaaaaaaatttt???!!!" Skyler joined her before Finn I terrified them. "hey! Both of you should cut it out!"
Ignoring her brother, Aspen asked no one in particular a question "what.is.he.doing.in.my.house!??!!?" she glared qt King who was sitting casually on a couch in the receiving room.
"they'll be moving in with us....I'm have you met each other before?" Finn asked his sister whose chest was heaving up and down.
"they? I don't have any problem with "they" but why does he have to be among the "they"???" she asked as she held her head while glaring at Sky who had behind her brother. "uhh chill poppie, he'll be part of the family soon. Besides we've got lots of empty room" Finn added.
Sky who has been hiding behind him hopped out and stared at Aspen before they both yelled in unison "what? When? How?!!"
Theo and Asher who had been standing near a big picture frame turned their back abruptly. Apparently, they could feel the tension on the living room. "uhhh....our rooms?" they both asked in unison.
Finn who had been secretly hoping to get an excuse to leave answered them immediately. "ah, yes, follow me!" he led them to the elevator in the hall. Some maid followed the stairs with their luggage.
"uhhh I think I need to go home now. See you at throne room poppie!" Sky said and rushed out as he was not willing to become their sacrificial lamb.
Aspen didn't listen to anything Sky had said cus she focused her attention on King who stood up and walked slowly to her. He bent down to her height with a sinister smile on his face as he said
"You should be glad to have me in your.....no in our house" he chuckled. His chuckle alone sounded disgusting to her.
"don't look at me that way you....."
"Hah! why? Cus you can't stand the sight of a handsome young man as me?" he said and started laughing.
AR: such an ugly narcisst! I have to think of a way to eliminate him!
Aspen: for once, I agree with you on this.
Aspen gritted her teeth and pushed him away. She ran to get a baseball bat and dragged her favourite stool. She stood in it and bent over him. King cowered in fear of being hit on the face by her making Aspen giggle.
"Hah! Why you shaking huh? Cus you can't stand the sight of a pretty short lady with a baseball bat over your too good to be true face?" she chuckled.
AR: ride on lady! Ride on!!
Aspen:* victorious smirk*
"look mister, you don't scare me no more! Giraffe. She said as she pressed the bat hard against his face.
"what's going on here?" Finn asked as he caught the scene being displayed before him.
"Nothing much bro, just showing the squatter who's the landlady" she shrugged and hopped down from the stool before passing the bat to a maid.
Bro, about that pink suit we saw on the commercial, we should give it to our squatter here. It suits him perfectly" she said and laughed heartily before skipping away.
