It became obvious that Aiden had begun to develop feelings for Harper. but finds it difficult to express his feelings for her. " To be sincere, brother, I am beginning to feel more than a friend to Harper." He said to Neil his roommate, while still on the bed. "Hmmmm," Neil sounded.
"Yes, her decent lifestyle and trying to make a difference on camp, even with Alexender persuation to date her, she still refuses to follow his words." This alone makes her a better person and a wife to be trusted. "Aiden said to him.
"Hahahhahahhahah,"Neil laughed at Aiden words. And he said further, "Are you having malaria or a headache, because I know that if you are in your right senses, you won't be saying this, this morning, oh! He Exclaimed.
" Where is this laugh coming from, or am I not a man enough to keep a lady?" Aiden asked with curiosity.
"You want to keep a woman? You and I know that you can't keep a lady like Harper . She is industrious and a lady who keeps her dignity. Furthermore, when did you last eat rice in this house? Talk more about withstanding Alexander over Harper. Neil asked in a funny mood.
" What brought about Alexander in this matter? Aiden, still angry, asked him.
"Guy, Since Alexander has already put her in front, whoever seems closer to her is already his enemy because he will think that they are those advising her not to accept his request, especially when a male genda like you is involved, unless you don't want to graduate with your mate. " Neil, buttoning his shirt, told him the truth.
Mr. Admire, get ready for a lecture, and if you don't have one, then try to go through your books at the library and stop dreaming because such a dream as yours can't come through. "See you later." Neil concluded with his little advice and then left for the lecture.
" Oyo is your case," Aiden shouted to Neil ears. He pondered as he said to himself, "Come to think of it, isn't it better I hold my emotions for now before someone uses me as a football in this school?" Aiden, of all people, was turned down or set to stay back while others graduate. He pondered as he said to himself, then stood up, went straight to the bathroom, had his bath, and then set off to school after he had eaten the remains of last night's meal.
Getting to the school and, to his amazement, when he got to school, Harper was already in the library reading for the forthcoming examination. He then realized he should join her in reading because he had no choice but to prepare himself further, especially since he didn't have lecture that day. At the library, he waves his hand in greeting in a manner that won't distract others. From there, he went down to look for an empty seat.
The readying period lasts about three hours, but Aiden was unable to comprehend what he had read because he was preoccupied with how he would approach Harper to speak of his feelings for her. " What is really wrong with me?" I have been here for three hours and am unable to assimnate what I have read. Is it that my heart has been focused on her rather than facing what brought me here? Aiden, he called himself, "Respect yourself." He said, deep inside of him. When it was time for them to leave the library, both Aiden and Harper walked down to the school gate, where they boarded a taxi that led to their destination. Inside the taxi, Aiden kept staring at her with his words hidden in his mouth. " Why the look?" Harper, who was aware of his stare, inquired, but he only replied, "nothing," and when they arrived at their destination, he stopped her as she was about to speak up.
" I want to say out loud that which has been disturbing me," Aiden, feeling shy, said to her.
" What is that? I am all ears," she responded, standing to hear from him when he later said,
"Good bye, have a pleasant night." He said.
" Is that all?" She asked him. " Hmmmmm! Yes, " yes but...". He paused, waved his hand to her, and went on his way.
"He thought I am still a small girl that did not know what he wanted to say." Anyway, he is a nice guy, but I don't think I am ready to play along with that which is in his mind." She smiled alone while saying this in her heart. She went down to her street and came across a friend with whom they both extended a pleasant greeting.
She opened her door as soon as she got inside. Charlie was already fast asleep. She had a stressful day and needed some rest. She went in, prepared some dinner, which was jerrof rice. She fetched a little from it and put it in her food flasks to eat at work during her night duty in the hotel where she works as a cleaner.
Still on his way, Alexander in his car began to search for where Harper lived. He made it necessary that she lie with him no matter what it would cause him. When he arrived at the street where he had been directed, he knocked on the gate, which led to a compound full of students, including those who knew him. "Good evening, sir," said the compound's resident.Alexander responded to their greeting as they echoed "fine sir" when he asked them how about their day.
They began to stare at each other, as if he had come for one of them, until he asked for Victoria, his close student who lived in the compound. She was called out. " Good evening, sir," Victoria him as she came out of the room. She was fully dressed and ready to have a date with her boyfriend. "I am in search of room No. 12," Alexander said. without knowing that right behind him was the room No. 12, he had asked for. "There behind you, sir is room No 25, "answered Victoria "Okay, thanks," he says, handing her a cash gift of $ 5000
When he knocked on the door, no one answered him. He stood for some minutes yet didn't hear a response. But he was sure someone is inside since the neighbors had told him that Harper is around. They had seen her coming 30 minutes before his arrival.
"Yes, she is inside, sir, just keep knocking," a neighbor said. They were not wrong when they said that Harper is inside. She was inside, pretending not to have seen him or heard his voice, and when the knocking became so loud that she couldn't hide any longer, she opened the door. "Good evening, sir," she said, stretching her body as if she was half asleep.
" So you have been inside and I have spent about thirty minutes knocking without responding." Alexander told her.
"I'm sorry, sir; I had a stressful day that put me to sleep, and I didn't hear your knock." Harper apologizes. "It is alright," he said, rotating his car key in his hands.
" Can I have some words with you outside?" With his hand on his waist, he asked.
"Alright, sir." Harper responded. But she was already angry inside and needed to respect herself and not embarrass him before her neighbors. As they moved out, those who knew her to be a quiet girl began to imagine how Alexander was able to penetrate her mind, not knowing that he is still playing his card on her.
"Sir, who gave you my address? In fact, how did you find out I Iive here? Harper asked with annoyance.
" A golden fish don't have a hidden place, and whatever Alexander wants, he gets it no matter what." He answered her so proudly. Well, I have those who can give me the right information about whatever I want or where I wish to go around in this campus. Again, have you forgotten who I am? He raised his shoulders, as he asked her.
"Okay, now Alexander. who always gets what he wants, what then do you want from me this time around?" She asked him.
"Well, you know how fast your exam is approaching and my course happens to be your third course to write. " He said. "Yes, I know. What about it?" She asked him. " Now I have come to help your ministry. The course, which you fail and and about rewriting it ." He boldly explains things to her step-by-step for her clearer understanding.
" Go straight to the point, and stop beating around the bush." I know I will write my carry over and I need no one to tell me that. If you mess up with my result again, I will report you to the school management board. " She tried to scare him with such words.
"Hahahahaha, who are you reporting to, ma? I am among the school management board and I have my ways out. Anyway, you have two options. I have the exam questions and am willing to give them to you to work through, if only you will make love with me before the D-Day of the exam. Paraventure you don't want to have the questions, just go to the hall, fill in your personal information and submit it. I will personally invite you to my house to write it. Alexander spoke with her with full confidence that she would conform to that.
"I appreciate your help, but get this inside you, sir. I am not a lazy student and I am busy reading my book. Keep your questions to yourself and please don't come to my house again. In addition, do not approach me with such an offer. " She said it clearly to him, and the word penetrated his marrow, that he had to go with shame.
In the room, Charlie had been peeping from the window. She saw the action that took place between Alexander and Harper. When the whole discussion was told to her by Harper, she began to call Harper names. "You had chance to score A in his course. But you messed up everything. Is there really something wrong with you? Is this action of yours done with real sense? Charlie yelled at her.
"You can say whatever you want to say. I have a standard and I most certainly keep to it. He can hold his question paper. " Harper replied, walking directly to the comfort room to ease herself.
It didn't end at that point with Alexender but instead he discussed it with . See, if it's about Rita, forget it. That girl is a hard nut to crack. You can't get her. She's unlike any other. " Lewis tells him about Harper and her reactions in terms of not wanting to behave like others or flirting on the campus like others.
" do you have any idea of who she is dating on the campus? Alexander asked him. " Yes, he is my student, though I am not sure if they are both dating, but I always see them together on a daily basis." What about him, if I may ask? Lewis asked him before he would go further.
"I think he is the obstacle in this game. I would like you to help me out. Before that, what is his name? Alexander asked.
" He is Aiden by name." He answered.
" That name sounds familiar and I think he will be writing my course this time around." He added
"I will draw his attention to it." I will threaten him with my course, and I believe that he will definitely leave her alone". Alexander told Lewis Again, before I forget, how about our agreement? Have you been able to get one? He reminded Lewis of the deal he had with him regarding getting him a virgin. "I am still working on it." Lewis said.
