Chapter 67
” Are you now angry, you know the order of importance, food first”she joked
He gave her the food and she continued watching ” friends” as they both ate in silence.
By the time they were done eating, Bradley came back to the dormitory.” “Hey Brad,” Stephanie said.
,”Hey mysterious girl who punched me on my first encounter with her,” Bradley said, giving her a deadly stare.
” I am sorry, brads o was agitated that day, you know it, I’m sorry how do I make it up to you” she replied.
“Well, nothing though, I was just joking just to make my roommate the happiest man on earth” he said.
“Alright that is done because I do not intend on doing that” she replied Bradley
“Better, he is crazy about you, you know” Bradley said and sat on his bed.
This made Audrey blush really hard, his roommate and girlfriend vibing really hard and they were talking as if they had known each other for a long time.
“Bradley I would love to start going right now, I have been here since morning” she said standing up to leave.
” Alright mate, take care of yourself” he said and hugged her goodnight.
At this point Audrey was waiting for her to finish her conversation with his roommate so he could see her off and come back to finish his work.
By the time he got outside he felt the need to ask what went on between her and Bradley.
” So I see there was a conversation between you and my roommate that I did not know of” he asked as they got outside
” Ooh don’t mind Bradley I might have tasered him when we first met , we did not really meet in good terms” she replied him
” Ooh I see, alright” he just nodded his head.
” Like I said Steph you have to be really careful around everybody you meet now, make sure you are wary of first timers who come to greet you, these people are desperate and are willing to do anything just to get at you and my family” Audrey warned her
“I have heard, boss, I can handle myself, moreover your brother is coming tomorrow right” she replied and hit him playfully on the shoulder.
” Okay, okay so it is my brother that you want now” he teased her.
He knew what she meant by the statement but he just felt like disturbing and stressing her so she just ignored him blatantly as she was not going to explain what she meant by the statement.
They bade and kissed each other good night, she thanked him for the food and promised to pay for their next date.
Audrey went back to his room to complete the work he was doing as he had a deadline to meet up.
Audrey was woken up to the sounds of his roommate’s alarm. He tossed from one side to the other, covering his head with a pillow as the alarm was disturbing before he was finally able to stand up from the bed to stop the alarm. After a while his phone buzzed up with calls from his father who was trying to update him on the latest development but he did not pick as he was very tired he needed to sleep and would call him later in the day when he had fully woken up. He did not stand up from his bed till noon when he picked up his phone and saw that he had missed calls from his dad, Audrey and Sophie who had called him, so he decides to call Sophie first.
” Did I steal any of your kidneys, why did y’all blow up my phone with calls?” he asked her as soon as she picked up.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“Relax bro, I only called to check up on you, you were sounding worried the last time we spoke, your dad said he had something important to tell you and you were not picking up so I thought it was one of your tantrums again so I decided to call, you are welcome” she said.
“Tantrums lol I was sleeping now, did you see the time you were calling me and I am fine actually, I am better thank you dumbhead for looking out for me ” he said.
” You are welcome, I would not be coming with Derrick though, I have unfinished business with ma’am Catherine” she said.
” So you are going home right, you seem to be meeting with your parents a lot lately, what is happening, Is your dad dying or something” he jokingly asked
” I wish it were that at least I would be preparing for burial and not the gruesome mediation they are making me go through, they are having issues in their marriage so instead of opting for divorce they decided to meet a therapist where they end up arguing all day” she explained.
“Ooh I’m so sorry about that darling, you will be fine , we all have our trying times and trust me you will come out of this very fine, regardless of anything that happens.” He reassured her over the phone
He had known about Sophie’s patents since he was a kid, she had an insecure father who does not trust her mother just because she was close to them, he feels feelings would be rekindled between his father and her mother just because they were old flames.
” Derrick already left for the airport. He will be there very soon, so expect him and take care of my baby for me,” she said and hung up the phone.
Typical Sophie she never waited for the goodbye before she hung up the phone he wondered where she was often rushing to and that she was in a hurry to cut the phone call.
After he had spoken to Sophie he decided to call his father back, and his father told him the exact same thing Derrick had told him the previous day but this time his father was specific about the time they would strike so he told him to be careful and always stay vigilant, if possible.
He thanked his dad for the heads up and hung up the phone.
Tried calling Derrick back but his phone was busy. ” He is probably on the plane right now,” he thought. So he decided to call him later in the day as he had other things to do with his time.
He changed into comfortable gym wear and headed for his gym class, he missed working out that morning because he woke up late so he could as well make up for it in the gym class not like he liked the method his instructor used.
On getting to gym class, he saw a familiar but not so familiar face amongst his classmates. He recognized the face because he knew he had seen them somewhere and it was not so familiar because he had never seen him in any gym class before. He kept staring at the face hoping he would remember where he had seen the face from , he casted his mind back to when he first resumed as a student in NYU but it did not ring a bell to him. ” Who could that be?” he thought, when the person turned back to stare at him, he instantly recognised the face
