Nigho pov.
I thought I was going to die yesterday but the doctors said I was overreacting, I was literally bleeding so much, but thank I got stitched and it was at my gain too. I got a doctor's letter saying I should rest for a week so I sent them out to the professors. Lizzy called when she heard about it, she was so pissed because she didn't think Justine was that kind of a person he seemed so sweet and he was also generous. She told me she would come sleepover so I don't stress myself too much, she scolded me when Albert told her I didn't want him to clean. Silvester(landlord) is still locked up, Justine's father had told the cops not to let him out till he says so, having so much money leads to connections I guess.

Knock!! knock!!
Who could it be at this time, she checked her phone, just to see it was twelve minutes after 9 am. I guess it's not too early but who's there? She heard the knocking again.
I'm coming, she screamed out, she ran to the door when she opened it she kept breathing heavily, it was Lizzy that was at the door.
Girl, what gives? You could have taken your time for crying out loud, she assisted Nigho to the sofa and made her lie down.
Stop overdoing yourself, Lizzy sat on the same sofa Nigho was on, you need to get well, I heard one of your professors is pissed at your class so he's going to give a test that takes a lot of marks.
Ah, Nigho sighed, I saw the news on the group chat. I have to do it or I'll lose thirty percent.
Okay, okay, I'll help you study.
Knock knock knock.
Ugh, Who's there again?
Don't worry I'll check it out, Lizzy took to her feet and then to the door. Who's there?
Uhm...it's me, Albert. She opened the door slightly, and after seeing his face she opened the door widely for him to enter.
Come in, she gestured.
Ah thank you, I brought some soup if she'd like to have some. I didn't know you'd be here....uhm...
It's alright, let me warm it up, go sit with her. She collected the flask from Albert and made her way to the kitchen, Albert went to sit with Nigho, and he sat uncomfortably.
Why are you nervous? It's not like this is your first time here, she rolled her eyes without looking away from the TV.
Sorry. So.....how are you feeling.
What do you think, she likes at him with one of her brows rising.
Uhm...I guess you're getting better, he ran his fingers into his hair before he continued, so about forgiving Justine. It's been a week now so...
Is he complaining? No, so stop bordering me about it, and don't think I've forgiven you.
What did he do that deserves getting forgiven, Lizzy came with a tray in her hands.
It's nothing, they both said at the same time.
It sure is something with the way both of you just said that but I won't push, not now at least. Here, here is your soup, she handed the vintage bowl to Nigho. But I hope it's not because of what he said that led to Justine going psycho with you, if it is, Mr weirdo I'll beat you up right now. She looked at Albert as she formed a fist with her left hand and hit it on her right hand which was wide open.
Are you threatening me, he chuckled.
No sir, she rose and went to Albert's front, Albert looked at her and then stood up.
How will you do that when you're this small.?He touched the top of her head which made Nigho laugh, she was short herself but she was still an inch or two inches taller than Lizzy.
What are you laughing about, you're short too, she turned to face her friend.
Yeah, but I'm still taller than you though, she chuckled, Albert stared at her, he thought she looked beautiful, but she was more than beautiful at that moment, her face when she laughed made him yearn for more, and he wanted to see her smile more often, he had never seen such beautiful smiles, he was lost in his thoughts which made him not notice Lizzy looking at him
Ohhhhhh, I see someone's in love, this statement brought Albert back to the present.
Who?
You, silly, she hit him gently on his chest before making her way back to where she had been sitting.
With who? He followed Lizzy's eyes and saw she was looking at Nigho. Her?! No, no, no, never gonna happen.
Nigho adjusted her position on the sofa, pulled the blanket up, she chuckled at Albert's words.
Is it because she's mixed? Lizzy said out loud which made Nigho more uncomfortable. Albert paused before answering, it was like he was looking for the right words to use, Nigho felt like tears were about to drop so she blinked fast.
It's not...that, Albert looked at the ground.
Why did you take your time? It must be that because there's nothing else, Lizzy took a peek at Nigho and then looked away immediately.
You guys should talk about something else, and Albert isn't my type. She was heartbroken but why would she want to let them know, she wasn't weak, and she won't show her vulnerable side to anyone at all.
Saying that made Albert gloomy, he was wondering why himself, it's not like he likes her and her attitude is something he can't tolerate. If not because of Justine he won't be here, Justine had asked him to make sure Nigho forgave him, that was the last thing Justine asked before leaving, and as his best friend, he was going to do so.
Uhm...I have to go now, he looked around for his phone.
Why though? You're leaving two pretty women alone, you're not a man as I thought, she made a sad face, Albert looked at her confused before getting on his feet.
Sorry but I have work to go to, it's already past three, so I got to run, he put his phone in his back pocket after checking the time.
So you work? Alright, you may be manly after all, I'll walk you out she got up herself. She walk in front of Albert, and now that he was looking at her, she was half naked for real, her skirt was really short, and you could see her butt cheeks as she kept walking, it was a mini skirt and her crop top was laced at the back which showed she wasn't wearing a bra, it was sleeved but off her shoulders. The skirt was white and her crop top was baby blue, she had hair pins to match her top. The way she swung her hips made Albert imagine things, he wanted to pull her and spread those slender legs of hers, she gave a cute aru which turned him on, and his hardwood was traced on his pants already.
