HIS LUCKY STAR - EPISODE 22

Sunshine high clinic**

Eddy rushed in with BB in his arms and he was ushered into a ward where he placed her on the bed, she was immediately attended to while he waited outside, hoping seriously that she’d be fine

“Please please, Please nothing must happen to you… please” he whispered, pacing around

” Eddy!” Olive said from the end of the hallway, he turned to her and she rushed to him

“I heard the students murmuring it among themselves, how you took her here, that’s why I came, what exactly happened” she asked worriedly

” I’ve detected it since last night but she’s too stubborn, she kept saying she’s ok, I suddenly noticed she wasn’t behind us again when we were going to class, I heard conversation in the rooftop and went there to see her with Drew, she passed out already so I had to take her here” he replied

” You must have been so scared” she said

“I was, but I’m sure she’d be ok , she’s strong” he replied and Olive hugged him

” Let’s keep hoping that she’d be fine” she said and he slowly broke the hug,,

A minute later, the doctor came out with a smile on his face

“It’s a slight fever, she’d be ok after taking some rest” he said and Eddy sighed

” I’m so glad”

“Will she really be ok?” Olive asked

“Trust me she’ll wake up let’s say an hour from now, it might not be up to an hour” he replied

” Feels good to hear” Olive said and Eddy smiled as the doctor left, he entered the ward with Olive and sat right beside BB on the bed

“Can’t believe she looks fearless and dangerous even while asleep” Olive said

” You’re intrigued too right?, She amazes me seriously, she’s unique don’t you think?” Eddy said, touching BB’s hair fondly, she won’t allow him if she was awake so he made use of the opportunity

“Unique?” Olive said, feeling uncomfortable with his hand on BB’s hair

*Sure, she lives in her own world and doesn’t give a shitty damn about what anyone thinks or says, isn’t that the real definition of unique?, Her craziness is cute too, she’s cute herself but she hates admitting it” he smiled, still stroking her hair

Olive watched hurtfully, wishing it was her hair he’s touching

“I’ll use the washroom” she said

“Ok” Eddy smiled and she left for the restroom

“Stubborn thug….wake up fast” Eddy said, bending over to give BB a light peck on her cheek

Olive got to the washroom, slamming the door hard behind her, she turned on one of the water dispensers and collected water in her palm before pouring it on her face, she did that a number of times before looking up at the mirror..

She adjusted her hair and looked at her new earrings

“I got these because of him, I got them with the aim of making him notice me but what?, He’s not helping matters, aren’t I beautiful?, I want him to peck me and stroke my hair too!” She shouted at herself

She felt pathetic and helpless, she has been like this since a month ago,,

She got scholarship Into the school a month ago together with him, they wrote the exams on same day, they sat beside each other in the hall and it was love at first sight, she barely concentrated on her exams and when they were done, she introduced herself and made friends with him, luckily he accepted.

When they finally got admitted, they became best of friends and since then, she has been doing everything possible to make him realize she loves him more than a friend but the clueless dude won’t just notice and it hurts

She looked at herself in the mirror again and sighed. “I love him” she whispered slowly

MM group of companies**

“Yay!!!!, I won another round, Mr Austen isn’t that great?, This is the fifth round I’d be winning…. OMG!!” Nikita shouted childishly, jumping up and down on her chair

Austen watched with interest, smiling at her childishness, he saw her childishness today and what?

It’s f*cking cute!, Everything about her is cute anyways

“You’ve become a pro already, I envy your smartness and at this rate I might decide to make you the CEO of this company” he said and she laughed

” Heavy joke” she said

He finished accessing the files on his desk before going to her, he sat on the chair beside her and watched as the played the sixth round keenly

“Yes yes….yes it’s clicking right?, Mr Austen… It’s clicking” she said in a low voice

” Seems you’ll lose this round” Austen teased

” Stop being pessimistic!” She said loudly and he laughed

” Click click click…..puff!, Yeah!, Yay!!!” She shouted, jumping up on her chair again, she won again

“Mr Austen I won!” She shouted happily and Austen smiled again

Saying she’s the source of his smile wasn’t wrong, she’s adding a lot of sauce to his life even without her own knowledge

If only she knows how much her smile makes him happy, if only he knows how much her laughter sets his heart on the edge, and now he noticed how cute her gums are, her gums are so cute like a kid’s, then her lips, his mind started imagining how tender it’ll be.

He leaned in at once but got a hold of himself then stood up quickly

“I need to use the bathroom” he said

“Ok boss” she smiled and he quickly snuck into the bathroom

He ran his hand through his hair immediately he got there, thinking about what he nearly did the other time

“I almost kissed her” he said to himself and heaved

“Can’t believe it’s becoming harder and harder to control myself around her” he said, walking around the bathroom

He closed his eyes tightly and when he opened them again, he walked out to meet her, she’s already done with his second cup of coffee, she was just placing it on the table when he appeared

“How fast” he said, lifting it to his lips,

“I hate slacking off* she smiled, licking on her bottom lip cutely and that made him choke on the coffee

He coughed loudly. “Mr Austen are you ok?, Mr Austen” Nikita said quickly, touching his hands

” I’m ok.. I’m fine” he coughed again

“Oh no, what do I do, is the coffee too warm?, Is it not same as the ones I used to make?” She said worriedly, making him sit

” It’s not the coffee” he replied, calming down

” Then what?” She asked

‘Your lips’ he thought, looking at her worried face

“Austen please say something” she said, touching his face lightly

Merely feeling her hand on his face is driving him insane already, so much that he removed it and drew her to his laps, she fell on his laps, her back on him,,

He interlocked his fingers on her tummy, holding her to himself, resting his head on her back

“Stay for two minutes please” he whispered, closing his eyes.
