HIS LUCKY STAR - EPISODE 20 AND 21

Drew’s mansion, 8pm**

“Young master, dinner is ready” the maids announced. He’s sitting in his study with a pen and paper in front of him, trying to make a letter appear on the paper but it seems Impossible

He took the pen to start writing again…

“Young master, dinner is ready” the maid announced again

” Can’t you see I’m busy?, F*ck off I’m not ready for dinner right now! ‘ he yelled

“I’m sorry master” the maid bowed and scurried out

Drew faced the paper and pen and held his head

“I can’t just sit home without schooling, I’d have quit Sunshine high…. I can’t transfer to another school… Sunshine high is the best school here, the only one that meets up to my standards…. Why do I have to hit her…. Why did my spirit tell me not to say sorry that day?, Gosh!, I’m just so unfortunate to meet her” he said to himself and sighed

He used his headband and picked the pen again, he took a deep breath and gathered strength

If this is what it’ll take to get off her trap, then I should summon courage” he said and started writing

He wrote for a minute and stopped

“I tried, she should be human enough to take this, I can’t do more than this” he said, enclosing it in a brown envelope

She stood from there and went upstairs to his room

There are five rooms in the big mansion….he’s the only one living in there, he’s lonely but maybe he’s in love with being in his own solitude

He stared at Dora’s picture on the wall and smiled, his cute ten years old sis whom he cherishes a lot but can’t see cos he doesn’t want to see his parents

His parents are what he dislikes most in the whole continent…the only thing he’s grateful to them for is his eyes.

He heaved and removed his head band before going back downstairs for dinner

He took just five bites from the steak and dropped the fork then drank from the wine before standing

“Young master you barely ate” the maid said worriedly

” I’m full already” he replied and went upstairs though he just told a lie, he actually lost appetite as usual.

He’s always fast to lose appetite and that has been bothersome for Theodore but not him….to him, it meant nothing

He got to his room,took the night shower before changing into his PJs and his phone rang, it’s Theodore

He picked the call, falling on the bed

“I was about to sleep when you called, make it snappy” he said

“The maids reported that you ate little again” Theodore said, worry can be felt in his voice

” That’s my stomach capacity Theo, I’m fine already” he replied, closing his eyes

” Five bites of steak?, You haven’t been eating well since a month ago, are you planning to lose some weight?, You might get ulcer too it’s dangerous Drew… please you need to get back to the dinning right now and eat” Theodore said

” Stop ordering me around, I’m the boss not you” Drew replied

” I’m not ordering you Drew, I’m just saying…..you can’t continue doing this to yourself” Theodore replied

” Just let me be, I’m fine…stop nagging” he sighed

” Not like you’ll listen…. anyways how was your first day?” He asked

“The worse day of my life….my worse nightmare is in same school with me, that ugly wacko resumed today too” he replied

” BB?” Theodore said surprisingly

“Ion care whatever her name is” he replied

“Oh no, are you ok?” Theodore asked

” No….I just finished writing the letter she asked for, I feel horrible, having to see her everyday sucks” he replied

” You gat to endure it and who knows…after she forgives you….you guys might become friends” Theodore said

” Friends my foot, goodnight if you like” he replied and hung up, throwing the phone beside him before covering his eyes with the cute night blindfold, he dozed off immediately.

Regina’s place**

“So, you aren’t gonna tell me about the girl?” She asked, leading Austen out of the house, he has been with her after dropping Nikita at her house earlier

“Her name is Nikita, she’s pretty, smart and cool” he smiled, holding Regina’s hand

” So she makes you happy” Regine said

“A lot” he beamed

” Seeing you smile without trying feels good, all thanks to the girl you’re talking about, I can’t wait to meet her” Regina said

” Maybe soon mum” he replied

” Just be happy my treasure, that’s all I want…. And I wish to meet her fast, I know I’m being impatient right now but it ain’t my fault” she said

” I understand but just a little bit of patience won’t hurt mum” he replied

” I’ll try, and about Jillian and Melissa, just do the needful, they’d run” Regina said

” The day is drawing near mum, this girl gives me strength and encourages me a lot so I think Jillian might get it real from me soon” he replied

” I’m hoping this particular Nikita won’t slip off your hands” Regina said

” Never, I’m never gonna let her go, even if she won’t feel the same, I’d continue loving her, it was LAFS” he said

” What’s LAFS?” Regina asked

” Love at first sight” he winked and Regina chuckled

” So it’s real…then I hope she’d feel the same” Regina said

” I hope so too” he replied and hugged her

“I love you mum, goodnight” he said

“Love you more son, I wish you’d sleep tight but unfortunately it’s Impossible” Regina said sadly

” I’ll be fine someday mum, bye!” He waved, getting in his car

He drove off some minutes later and Regina smiled

“What I’ve been hoping for is finally happening”

*******

Nikita’s place**

” BB has been acting weird since we left school” Eddy said after dinner, BB is currently in the bathroom, taking a shower which is so uncommon of her, she hates night shower

“Weird?” Nikita replied

“She talks slowly and less” Eddy replied

“Really?, I didn’t notice?” Nikita said, standing up

” She really behaved weird” Eddy said worriedly

Nikita went into the room and can hear the bathroom door shutting, meaning she’s out

“Bright are you fine?” She asked

“Why did you ask?” BB asked

” Eddy said you’re acting weird” she replied

” That baby Teddy?, Don’t mind him he must be seeing things, I’m perfectly fine” she replied quickly

” Are you sure?”

” Kita trust me, I hate when you worry” she replied and Nikita sighed, hoping she’s saying the truth

Her phone rang, a call from Austen,,

“I just love his determination” BB said

“What are you talking about” Nikita said

“Don’t worry cutie” she replied and Nikita picked the call

” Mr Austen” she smiled

” It’s becoming uncomfortable” Austen replied

” What?”

” Having Mr at the back of my name, can’t you just call me Austen?, Please?” He said

” No it’s improper, you’re my boss so….” She said

“And as the boss now, I’m telling you to stop addressing me as Mr” he replied

” Mr Austen” she said

” There she goes again… ” He replied

“I’m sorry I just….I think it’ll take a long before I’ll get used to calling you by your name, it feels uncomfortable and … I’m sorry” she replied

” Don’t say sorry, just start trying it Nik, hope you had dinner already?” He asked

” Oh…yeah sure, thanks for the Mac and cheese the other time during lunch” she smiled

” I hate when you thank me” he replied

” Mr Austen …” She whined

” Everything I do is because you deserve it Nik, just be ok hmm?” He said

” Sure, you too….by the way why don’t you try the hospital concerning your insomnia” she replied

” I’ve been doing that since it started but it’s not working, maybe that’s my punishment for killing my mum” he said

” Mr Austen” she cautioned

” Joking….I heard your voice already so I’d be happy tonight at least…. I’d see you tommorow” he said

” Ok Austen” she replied and he stopped talking

” Austen?” She said

” Gosh….. how can my name sound so cute on your lips” he said

“Goodnight Mr Austen” she replied

” Not again” he replied to she chuckled before hanging up

She stood on her spot for a while, just smiling without moving till BB tapped her

“Huh!” She jumped

“You need to sleep, mocha girl” she said and Nikita smiled before walking to the bed, she lay down and BB left the room

“Austen…. feels weird to call him ordinarily” she thought.

*****

Next morning**

” I’ll continue saying you’re not ok, I know what I’m saying…your eyeballs are pale even your face, you look sick” Eddy said as he dressed up, BB has finished dressing up

“Just shut up, i own my body and I said I’m ok” she replied and Eddy felt her temperature, she’s running a really high temperature

“Bright!” He literally screamed

“Shut up!” She said, blocking his lips with her palm as Nikita came out

“Is anything the problem?” She asked, looking at their dramatic position

” No” BB replied, pulling Eddy out like that while Nikita followed behind

Austen is already waiting when they got out,, he helped Nikita into the car and Eddy smiled at him surprisingly

“Take care of her” he said

“He said it all” BB added and he replied with a smile before entering the car with her

The drive started immediately and he had a feast of her face with his eyes for a while

“Why are you staring?” She suddenly said and he quickly looked away

“I’m not staring” he said

“My instincts are always right so don’t deny it Mr Austen” she replied

“Ok I stared, you’re just too cute anyways” he replied and she felt a smile escape her lips

He saw her smile and held her hand

“I’m addicted to doing this” he said, interlocking it

” Your hand is warm” she said, enjoying how it wrapped warmly around hers

” it always is” he replied, rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb

” You’re so sweet Austen” she said and his heart fluttered, hearing his name on her lips feels s*xy

“Say that again please” he said

” You’re so sweet Mr Austen” she replied knowingly

” Nik…’ he groaned and she giggled cutely…

*****

Sunshine high**

“We should go to the infirmary seriously, you’re not fine” Eddy said worriedly as they stepped into their block

“And I said I’m ok” BB lied

Honestly since she came back from school yesterday she has been feeling sick, it’s not the first time she’ll be having fever anyways, she gets fever frequently and that’s what she just hates about herself cos most of the times, she passes out….

“Eddy!” Olive appeared beside them

“Whoa you look cute” Eddy said

Olive touched her new earring, hoping he’d notice,,

“Let’s walk faster, we can’t be late” he said

” My earrings, are they pretty?, Do they look pretty on me?” She asked, touching her hair slowly

” Of course, new earrings always look good on girls” he replied and Olive smiled

BB suddenly leaned on the wall, her head felt wobbly and it’s spinning with unbearable headache .. it has been like that since daybreak but it got worse

A little tear escaped her eyes but she quickly wiped it and continued walking before Eddy will notice but just at the base of the rails that led to the rooftop, someone pulled her in

“Idiot” she said weakly when she saw Drew

He drew her upstairs and faced her

” the letter” he said, giving it to her, she took it with shaky hands and he noticed

He waited as she opened it shakily and read what he wrote

“I’M SORRY, FORGIVE MY MANNERS PLEASE”

She smiled faintly when she finished reading it

” You didn’t add the most important part, why your brain is useless as letter K in the word knife” she said, her eyes feeling heavy already

He was about to reply when she suddenly staggered

He looked at her as if she’s performing magic and she stood upright again

“I’ll…..let it slide….but if you….cross me again…. I’mma kick you and send you… flying to…to San Francisco” she stuttered weakly and started walking downstairs,,

She took each step weakly and wearily till her eyes closed voluntarily and she started going down

Drew was fast enough to get to her and catch her, her temperature is burning, he almost screamed, she’s sweating too

“What’s her name again…. BB hey!, Wacko!” He called

“Bright!” Eddy said from the stairs, climbing up immediately,,

He snatched her from Drew and glared at him before starting the rush to the clinic.
