1.Rhyana (Someone that l didn’t expect)

I wake up to buzzing sound of my phone that l had put under my pillow.

'Hello,‘l say putting the phone on my ear.

'Rhyana,where are you?'someone on the other end says.

I then look at the phone, it’s Dazie. 'I’ll take that as a greeting babe,'I say.

There’s no time for that girl,Ciara is coming back so we have to welcome her back.

'OMG! I had almost forgotten,'I say.

'Or you had really forgotten,'Dazie says.

'Hurry up I am at your front door,'she adds.

'Okay.'

Dazie,Ciara and I have been friends ever since we entered university because we even share the same dorm. Dazie is a very famous model for KIS company which makes cosmetics although l don’t get why she is studying law. Ciara had gone back to her home in Norway for some royal function well Ciara is surprisingly a princess;a Norwegian princess.And I still can’t believe the way she’s so lovely and cool deciding to stay in the dorm instead of staying at her comfortable home but she says that her home is suffocating. Ciara is also a very famous actress who has won many Oscars and was ranked the most beautiful actress of the previous year. Well as for l am just a normal girl who stays with extraordinary people nothing more.

I run downstairs and find Dazie still waiting,'Fuck,you’re so slow!'she exclaims as she heads to her blue Volkswagen.

'Be quick,Rhyana we don’t want to miss this.'

Hardly had we reached the airport when we heard the announcement that the aeroplane from Norway is about to arrive. Dazie rushes out of the car and l follow, l can see the aeroplane about to land.I always have stupid phobia for heights that l can’t watch an aeroplane landing. I want to puke so l just rush away to the restroom, after everything l wash my hands and l head out praying that l don’t see another aeroplane landing.l walk slowly still feeling dizzy, l take in a deep breath trying to gain stability but nothing is working. As I walk, l stumble on literally nothing and l imagine myself landing face first on the floor, l close my eyes not willing to look at anyone during the shame.

A strong, warm and tight grip is around my waist and l slam into a strong and warm body, l raise my head slowly and l lose all words. His emerald eyes are staring at me and l can’t look at them any longer, my eyes trail to the finest jaw l have ever seen in my life and to most sexy lips I have ever seen.His scent is so seductive; he smells of lavender and the dark earth.l don’t want to pull away from him and he also doesn’t pull away.

'I know that l am so handsome but you don’t have to bite your lips,'he says in the most seductive voice l have ever heard. I just keep on staring at him like some crazy girl, my body doesn’t seem to listen to my brain even though l want to leave him.

'Do you plan on staying there forever?'he asks.

And l guess my body can finally get the message l pull away, ‘Thanks,'l say and he just walks away. I collect all my senses that were lost at the moment and go to find Ciara and Rhyana.

I hug Ciara upon seeing her,'Oh my God! Rhyana you become more beautiful every day,I even envy you,'Ciara says hugging me back and l just smile at her compliment.

'There you go shying again, babe. You should at least say thanks,' Ciara says.

And I can’t help myself so l just smile again,‘I’ve really missed you girl,‘Dazie says smiling at Ciara.

'Same darling. Btw are you guys ready for my welcome party?'

'Well,if you’d told us, l guess we would’ve been ready,'Dazie says.

'I didn’t know that it’d happen till l came with someone who’s by everyone in the industry.'

'Who’s that?'we ask in chorus.

'My weird cousin, l don’t even want to talk about him,'

'I didn’t know you had a cousin,'l say.

'Hey, l said l don’t want to talk about him.'

'Fine l get it,'l say.

'Then let’s go shopping for the dresses for my party,' Ciara says happily and we head on.

I don’t like parties but my aunt always nudges me to go out and be some friendly girl so she wasn’t going to let me stay home when she knew about Ciara’s party. She gave me her car and l went for the party, l didn’t want to be noticed by many people so l took the back door of Ciara’s house. As l walked slowly to the back door, l just changed my mind and l went to sit alone in the backyard, l like quiet places so l sat alone somewhere l knew that few people would want to be.

My thoughts trailed off to my awful childhood.

‘I ain’t your father you hopeless child,’the man that my mother said was my father had said. ‘But l love you so much daddy you’re my favorite,’l said. And their came a heavy blow landing on my cheek where l landed on floor with a loud thud.’If it wasn’t for your hopeless mother you would have a better life you bastard,’he yelled into my face.

I swallowed back my tears and shook my head to stop thinking about that but my brain was just out of itself.

‘It’s fine my baby once you go to heaven you won’t have to suffer this much,’ my mom said strangling me in the bathtub. I had called my mom so we could bathe together but she’d come angry and before l knew it l was inside the water struggling.

’Let me tell you this before you die, you’ll get a better family like you have always wanted after you die because God loves young children and so he’ll help you. But l can’t help you because l don’t love you and l have never wanted to have it was just my sister that stopped me from aborting you.’

’My job is my priority l still need that fame and don’t think that l need you because you’re one of my gravest mistakes,’those were the last words that l heard from my mother when l was dying in the bathtub and when l woke up l was in the hospital with my aunt beside me and have never seen my parents physically but only see them happy on social media.

I’m snapped out of those memories when l feel someone’s touch on my shoulder. It startles me and l almost fall from the seat but l manage to hold myself back. 'Oh my God you startled me,'l say without looking at the person.

'I need your help ,'l hear the deep voice and l know it’s a guy. I turn around and l see the same guy that l had seen at the airport earlier, 'What?'I ask still not getting him.

‘Please.'

I still can’t get him, l look around and a group of men in black suits looking around. I get that he wants to hide but l don’t know why and l don’t know how to help him. 'I don’t have where to hide you,'l say. He stares at me and l can feel my face reddening. 'No offence it’s just for the mean time,' he says. And before l can process his sentence, he pins me to the ground, kisses my neck and l feel like every part of my body is now a nerve ending. No one’s touch has ever turned me this on besides my crush’s. But l can’t now crush on two people or that’s bad news and l know that whoever this guy is has not come to do good in my life.
