Kelvin
The party last night was a wild one and if I hadn't been vigilant, I would have gotten drunk to stupor. Luckily, I minimized my alcohol intake and I was good to go. Getting the ladies home was a hassle and I was glad to see that Olivia could walk to her house. Sonya was the problem. She was more drunk than Olivia and she could barely walk on her own. So when we got home, I had to carry her to her quarters.
In all of the things that could have happened in this house, I never thought of an instance where I was holding Sonya in my arms and kissing her erotically. Never. Cause that situation seemed so farfetched and impossible. Sonya hated me and did everything to avoid my presence, so it was something I never saw coming. But lo and behold, Sonya and I were French kissing in her bedroom like there was no tomorrow.
Honestly, I don't know who made the first move. All I remember was the two of us staring at each other and in the next moment, we were kissing. It was a hot and an exciting moment. I didn't want it to end but when I remembered of Delilah, I felt guilty. I placed Sonya down on her bed and I left her quarters immediately. I walked to my room, changed my clothes and got in my bed. I thought about the whole incidence till I fell asleep.
* * *
I woke up the next morning with a mild headache. I got up from bed and did some push-ups before sitting down back on the bed. Everything seemed okay till the memories of what happened last night came flooding back in my head. How on earth did I kiss Sonya ? It still felt like a dream. To be honest, when I met Sonya for the first time, I immediately fell in love with her.....
Even though I was angry about the incident the first time we met, I had this weird attraction to her. It was something I didn't understand back then. It wasn't that serious and I was able to hide my feelings from everyone. After saving her and moving into the Hanson household, I was hoping that we could be friends but she didn't give me that opportunity. So I was looking for a way to forget my feelings for her and that's when I met Delilah.
Delilah is very different from her sister. Even though our first meeting was on a sour occasion, we managed to become friends. And ever since then, we've grown fond of each other. Thanks to Delilah, I forgot about my feelings for Sonya and I began to get attracted to Delilah instead. Delilah is like the better version of Sonya, even though Sonya is more enticing than her. I love Delilah nevertheless...
A knock came on my door and interrupted my chain of thoughts. I got out of my bedroom and went to open the door. To my surprise, it was Delilah. She was dress casually but she was looking splendid and attractive as usual.
"Good morning, Delilah...." I uttered.
"Good morning, Kelvin." she replied. "Can I come in ?"
"Sure." I affirmed as I opened the door wide for her to enter.
She got inside and sat on one of my sofas in my parlour. I closed the door and joined her.
"This is like the first time you have come to my quarters," I noted with a smile. "Is there something wrong ?"
"Not at all," she returned the smile. "I just wanted to check up on you. It's ten minutes past nine o'clock and I was getting worried when I realized you were still in your quarters."
"I'm doing perfectly fine, Delilah." I massaged my head. "I just have a slight headache and my arms hurt a little."
"What happened ? Did you fight someone last night ? Were you attacked ?" Delilah asked with a worried look.
My arms hurt a little because I carried Sonya last night. That thought triggered some memories and I remembered the moment Sonya and I kissed last night. I shuddered and shook my head slowly.
"What's wrong ?" Delilah interrupted my thoughts. "Did something bad happen at the party last night ? Kelvin, tell me something. I'm worried."
I forced a smile. "Nothing bad happened."
"Are you sure ? Cause I'm sure you two came home late last night."
"Yeah we did. It was almost midnight when we got back. Where you waiting for me ?"
Delilah folded her arms, frowned and looked away. "I was waiting for you but I was disappointed when you guys didn't come early."
"It wasn't my fault, trust me." I defended. "The party just didn't want to end and your sister and her friend didn't want to leave early too."
She faced me with a worried face. "Tell me the truth, are you sure nothing happened last night ?"
I took a few seconds to answer. "Yes Delilah. Nothing much happened last night."
She let out a huge sigh. "Okay, I trust you with your answer. I will stop getting worried then."
I felt really bad lying to Delilah to be honest. I know it's not a good thing but what am I supposed to do ? Tell her that I kissed her older sister last night ? Her older sister whom she's fighting with ? That could be devastating and it might crush Delilah. The best thing I could do then, was to hide it from Delilah. Besides, Sonya and I were under the influence of alcohol. There's no way she could also....
"Kelvin..."
"Yes ?" I blurted out.
"I have been calling you for a while now. Are you okay ? Or there's something bothering you on your mind ?"
"There's nothing bothering me." I smiled. "What were you saying when I blacked out for a few seconds ?"
"I was talking about us going out." Delilah informed. "I wanted us to go out yesterday but the party ruined my plans...."
"True." I agreed. "I wanted to go to my mom's place yesterday but the party also ruined my plans. I was thinking of going there today."
"You are going there today ?"
"Yeah, I am." I nodded and then, I had a great idea. "Why don't you tag along with me and you could finally meet my mom."
"Really ?" Delilah beamed. "I would love too.....but isn't that too soon ?"
"What ? No." I replied. "You've met Hannah already. It's okay if you meet my mom too."
"You're right." she mused. "If it's fine with you, then I would love to join."
"Great." I smiled. "Then get ready, we will be going very soon...."
That was how we ended our conversation. Delilah went to her quarters to prepare and I got in my washroom to also get ready. Afterwards, Mike brought breakfast to me as I requested and I ate in my quarters. When I was done, I dressed up formally and inspected myself before leaving my quarters.
I informed Mr Hanson of our departure and he approved of it. Luckily for me also, I didn't hear from Sonya and I was relieved that she didn't leave her quarters at all. I waited for Delilah downstairs and when she came down, I understood why she kept for long.
Delilah looked so astonishing and dashing that I didn't even recognize her well. She wore an expensive straight dress, laced with luxurious designs and stylings. She wore some makeup that enhanced her beauty even more and her cologne was succulent and very pleasant. I drooled at her for seconds before she snapped me out of it.
"Kelvin ?" she called out.
"Yeah." I shook my head slightly. "Sorry for that. You were too mesmerising for me to take my eyes off."
"Someone is smooth with his words." Delilah smirked widely. "Are you complimenting me on my looks ?"
"Er... I'm....you know....."
"Don't mind me. Let's just go already..." Delilah laughed as she walked towards the car.
I followed and opened the door for her to enter. I joined her at the back seat as the driver took off and we were on our way to my mom's place.
We joked around in the car as we were approaching my mom's place. Delilah was getting anxious and I tried to calm her down. It's not like my mom is a strict woman or anything. I had to assure Delilah of that and by the time we arrived at her place, Delilah was ready to meet her.
We left the car and got to the gate. I opened the gate and we both walked inside the house. I led Delilah to our house and when we entered, we met Hannah in the veranda and she was surprised to see us. She screamed frantically as usual and rushed to hug me tightly. She left me after a few seconds and hugged Delilah also.
"Hannah, why are you shouting ?" I heard my mom's voice approaching. "Has Kelvin arrived or what ?"
Just as I predicted, my mom walked to the veranda and was equally surprised to see us, especially Delilah. "Kelvin, what are you doing here ?"
"Is this how you welcome me ?" I laughed as I went over to hug her warmly. "Why are you not on your wheelchair anymore ?"
"The paralysis is long gone and I'm sure of it."
I gave her a serious eye. "Maa, still be careful."
"I've heard you, my son." she chuckled. "And who is this lovely lady you brought here ?"
Hannah let go of Delilah and Delilah came forward to meet my mom. "Maa, this is Delilah...a good friend of mine." I introduced.
"A good friend..." mom repeated with a smirk. "Delilah, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. It's hard for Kelvin to ever bring a lady and finally he did."
"Maa!" I protested.
"What did I say wrong ?" she laughed.
"It's good to finally meet you," Delilah responded. "Kelvin has told me so much about you..."
"He did ?" mom eyed me. "I see...."
"Can we just go inside maa...." I implored.
"Fine, let's go inside then." she agreed.
Hannah led the way and my mom followed. I was about to follow after them when Delilah helde back.
"What's it ?" I asked.
"Your mom can now walk ?" she quizzed with opened eyes. "Since when ?"
I chuckled softly. "It's a long story but don't worry, I will tell you why, okay ? Let's just go inside and have a good time with them."

Serena
Raymond is an amazing guy and I knew that I had found the man of my dreams. However, there are certain things about him that leaves me hanging. When he informed me of his plans to take the famous Mr Hanson's businesses, I was confused at first but when he explained it better, I understood it gradually.
I supported him as long as he is happy and I wished that his plans were successful. That wasn't the case as the first scheme was ruined when Mr Hanson's daughter found out about us. He tried several times to win her back but she didn't listen. Raymond claimed he had a second plan but he didn't fully explain. I was curious but I didn't ask any more questions to annoy him at all.
I don't know what the second plan but it seemed he hasn't been successful in it either. It has been almost two weeks and still, no news of the capture. Lately, Raymond has been coming home late drunk and he has been miserable since Tuesday. I had no idea why and when I tried to confront him, he never told me anything.
Speaking of Tuesday, I heard about the kidnapping attempts on the news. Some men tried to capture Mr Hanson and his daughter and that raised an eyebrow. Was Raymond involved in that scheme ? Is he miserable because the mission failed ? These questions raced through my head and I wanted answers quick. Finally, I found an answer sooner than I expected....
Presently, it was a Monday morning, a week after the kidnapping attempt at Mr Hanson's office last week Tuesday. Raymond had gone to work and I was also preparing to leave. I decided to tidy up the house before I go to work. So I started and cleaned the house. I also decided to clean Raymond's wardrobe and I got right to work. I cleaned the wardrobe and whiles I did so, I saw a gun hidden in the wardrobe.
A gun ? What was a gun doing here ? I was genuinely astonished. As I stood in front of the wardrobe, questioning myself on the existence of the gun, I heard Raymond entering the house. Without thinking twice, I entered his wardrobe and closed it shut.
"Serena ?" he called out. "Serena ?"
I kept quiet and listened attentively to what he was going to do next. I heard his footsteps approach the bedroom and I realized something dreadful. What if he was coming to the wardrobe to come take the gun ? That would mean that he would see me and might threatened to kill me. Now, I was very scared.
Raymond walked into the bedroom and my heart was pounding quickly as his footsteps seemed to get louder and louder. I prayed silently for him to go back to work but then, I heard another call...
"Serena ?" he called again. "Where are you ?"
I tried my best to remain silent in the wardrobe.
I heard him sigh. "Then it seems she has gone out...." he quipped.
I thought Raymond would leave the bedroom but the next few seconds almost made me jump from where I was in the wardrobe.
"Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" he screamed on top of his voice and I heard him kick the bed.
Why was he shouting ? What's he angry about ?
"It's been a week now! A week!" Raymond exclaimed. "And he refused to see me throughout!!!"
I listened closely and waited for Raymond to continue his rant.
"I thought he was busy. Busy enough to skip my calls. Busy enough to avoid my texts or busy enough to just see me." Raymond continued. "But damnit! It turns out my old man...has purposely been avoiding me just because the mission didn't go according to plan!"
According to plan ? What is he talking about ?
"I went to his office unannounced! And he kicked me out!" Raymond exclaimed. "Kicked me.... out! Saying that I'm not his son! Me!"
Raymond kicked the bed again and I couldn't help but wonder what was going on.
"Kidnapping Sonya was what my father wanted," Raymond quipped. "And since all our plans failed, he has abandoned me. Me! Fine! I know what to do now!"
So Raymond was directly involved in the kidnapping attempt ? I knew it. What's he up to ? I couldn't wait to hear.
"Sonya!" Raymond screamed. "You are the reason all of this is happening. If I can't make my father proud again, then I have to take your life myself! I swear I will do it! Very soon.....!"
What ? Take Sonya's life ? What is Raymond planning ? I heard him kick the bed several times and he mumbled some curse words before I heard him leave the living room. After some minutes, when I felt that he had left, I got out of the wardrobe and placed the gun back. I have to do something before someone gets hurt...
