HIS LUCKY STAR - EPISODE 28 AND 29

“Austen have you gone nuts?, Let me go!” Sara screamed again, coughing as his hold on her neck got stronger

“I feel like snapping your neck right now and just send you out of existence” Austen said coldly before letting her go, she fell heavily on the ground, holding her red neck while coughing

Austen went back to Nikita who’s still standing, looking scared

“I’m so sorry” he said and she held her wrist, it hurts

” Does it hurt?, Huh?, Does it?” He asked, taking it but she cringed hurtfully.

” Damn” he said and made to go to Sara again and just dismantle her but Nikita held him

” Don’t leave, hold my hand please” she said quickly

Austen sighed and looked back at Sara, she stood and glared at him before walking into one of the washrooms

He held Nikita’s hand and checked it out, she must have a delicate skin like him cos her wrist is red already

“I’ll get you to the nearest hospital, this needs to be treated’ he said

“No you can’t do that, the dinner is almost starting you can’t be late because of me” she said

” It’s nothing Nik, let’s get your wrist treated I hate seeing you get hurt* he said

“No we really can’t, if you come late to the meeting, your dad will get angry and call you a murderer again, he’ll say things to hurt you just because of me and I’ll feel guilty, do you want that?” She said

” But your wrist…

“I can still manage till the end of the dinner I promise” she replied

” Nik….

“Please….” She insisted

He smiled shortly and caressed her cheek

“It’s ok, just promise me you’ll be fine till the end of the dinner”

” I promise” she replied and he smiled

“Austen Malcolm?” A hoarse voice said behind them and he swiftly faced the direction to see Mr and Mrs Fabio, they’re just coming

“Greetings Ma and Sir” he bowed

“You look more handsome, no wonder Sara is crazy about you, how cute!” Mrs Fabio smiled

” You’ve really become more handsome Austen, by the way who’s she?” Mr Fabio asked, gesturing at Nikita whose hand is in Austen’s

“My worker in my office” he replied and Mrs Fabio sighed

“Oh I’m glad, I thought she’s your girlfriend” she smiled

Austen only smiled shortly as they all went into the hall, looking elegant and expensive, the dishes looking appealing and mouthwatering on the table

Mrs Kaz is present already then Jillian.

“Sara isn’t here yet?, She left home before us” Mrs Fabio said

” Maybe she eloped who knows” Jillian said teasingly

“You’re here?, Spoilt wife of Das?” Mrs Fabio replied, placing her purse on the table and coincidentally, it’s same with Jillian’s purse

Jillian smirked immediately she saw it

“If you want this dinner to end well for you, better learn how to talk better” she frowned

” Here to show off your purse?” Mrs Fabio said.

” I guess that’s what you came here to do but for your information, mine was a limited product, only for me” Jillian said arrogantly

” Of course it should be only for you,no sensible rich woman will want to get things from same brand as you, fake and cheap!” Mrs Fabio said

” Shut your mouth!” Jillian shouted

” I should really do that, I can’t take the risk of taking in your unfriendly smell through my mouth” Mrs Fabio said

” What!” Jillian said

” Why did i accept to come here in the first place” Austen whispered frustratedly

Nikita heard and placed her hand on his lap, expecting his own on it and he did place his hand on hers, she held it and he smiled

“Pretend like you didn’t hear” she said

“I’ll do that” he smiled

” You both should stop!, Right now!” Mr Fabio said loudly

“And who are you to order around” Jillian said spitefully

” Stop it Jillian!” Mrs Kaz said authoritatively and Jillian smiled

“I’m sorry Mrs Kaz, this b*tch here made me angry” she said

Mrs Fabio made to reply but Mr Fabio held her

” Stop” he whispered and she breathed hard as Jillian rolled eyes at her

Sara entered in the next minute, changed to a different gown already, she tired a muffler on her neck obviously to hide the redness.

“My gorgeous princess, where have you been” Mrs Fabio said as she settled beside her

” Just needed to take care of some stuff” she replied, glaring at Nikita hatefully

” But you were wearing a different dress earlier” Mr Fabio said

“I can’t change taste anymore?” She replied sharply

“Stop being uptight, your prince charming is here, act tender” Mrs Fabio said and Sara sighed

” Can we start this dinner?” Mrs Kaz said

” By the way…what of your husband?’ Jillian asked

“He’ll soon be here, he returned from Texas a while ago and needed to rest, I’m sure he’ll meet us here” Mrs Kaz replied

” Oh….ok” Jillian smiled as the servers came in to serve everyone

“I don’t think I’ll be able to eat, my last meal hadn’t fully digested” Nikita said

” You just have to take as much as a bite” Austen replied

” Really?”

” Yes, you should do that” he replied and she curved her lips

” Ok”

He gave her the fork and she took it

“A little bit forward, dig in” he said and she did that

“Thanks” she said as she picked some with her fork

“She’s…..blind?, Unbelievable” Sara scowled, looking at her as she chewed slowly on the food

“How’s it?” Austen asked

“Not bad” Nikita replied and Austen smiled, rubbing the back of her hand under the table

“Sorry I came late” Mr Kaz said as he entered radiantly

” Oh welcome!” Mrs Fabio and Jillian said at a time.

“Thanks, I had bussiness to take care of in Texas so I went for it, it took some time I’m sorry” he said

” It’s ok, you can take all your time anyways” Jillian said

” I’ll just go straight to the point about bussiness, let’s decide how the conglomerate will be ruled first before creating it together” Mr Kaz said

” Each person has rules that guides their current companies so I think we should just bring them together then talk about it as one” Austen replied

” Was just about to say that” Mr Fabio said

“It won’t hinder the running of our current companies though, I can’t give up MM to form a conglomerate ” Austen said

” Smart ass, it’s ok, and I think I’ll have the most to do, the biggest connections belongs to me and I think I should get to decide the duties of everyone” Mr Kaz said

” You’re right” Mr Fabio said

” Did you really bring this idea of building a conglomerate together because you want growth for everyone or because you want everyone under your wings to watch over?” Austen said tactfully and Mr Kaz gasped

” what are you talking about?” Mrs Kaz said and Austen smiled but it was short

” Suddenly talking about deciding the duties of everyone even when the conglomerate hasn’t been built, doesn’t that sound suspicious?, I’m not gonna be anyone’s puppet” he said

” Why did Das send you here in the first place you’re so rude!, Everyone here are your elders!” Mr Fabio said

” When it comes to business, nothing like elders old man” Austen said

” Old man?” Mr Fabio said shockingly

” What the hell do you think you’re doing?’ Jillian said, standing from her seat,

“Just what I should do, I need to protect what I have so it won’t get snatched away by snitches” he replied

” You worthless son of a wh*re!, How dare you try to sprinkle blemish on my husband’s reputation!” Jillian barked and grabbed her purse, she walked to Austen and tried hitting the purse on his head but he held her hand and squeezed it slightly

“Ouch!, My hand!” She winced and everyone stood

“Heard he’s gentle” Mrs Fabio said shockingly

Sara smiled, watching Austen proudly

Any thoughtful person will know Austen was right about Mr Kaz

She looked at Nikita again, she’s still on her seat, not moving an inch

“Ion care how much he loves you. So far he’s Austen Malcolm, I’ll steal him away…blind beauty” she thought .

Austen let go of Jillian’s hand and the purse fell, she held her wrist in pains

“Psycho!” She shot, looking at him unbelievably

“Try messing with me again and I’ll crush you….to tiny bits, slut” he said and Jillian’s eyes widened

” Let’s go Nik” he said and grabbed her hand, pulling her up and leaving with her immediately

“What was that?” Mr Kaz said disappointedly

“He was obviously saying the truth Mr Kaz, the sly fox” Sara smiled, standing up

” Sara….” Mrs Kaz said and she faced her

“Thanks for choosing Austen for me mum dad….I just fell in love with him more than before with his smartness” she smiled and left the place too

” That….that brat!” Mr Fabio spat

“Ruined” Mrs Kaz said, holding her head

“By the way Mr Kaz, don’t you think we should set our wards up?, I mean…your Drew and my Melissa” Jillian said

” No Mr Kaz, it should be my Kayla” Mrs Fabio said

“Drew is in a relationship already” Mr Kaz replied

“What!’ Mrs Fabio and Jillian screamed

“Really?” Mr Fabio said

“What are you talking about?” Mrs Kaz asked shockingly

“You know how stubborn he can be when he wants something, I saw his girlfriend today in Texas” Mr Kaz replied slowly

” Hell” Mrs Kaz said.

“Shit!” Jillian spat angrily, kicking the table

*****.

Texas, Nikita’s place**

BB stayed in front of the small bathroom mirror, brushing her teeth aggressively for the fifth time since she came back from deliveries, no matter what she does, she won’t stop imagining it over and over again and each time, she feels like dying

“That son of a bastard!, Aarrgh!!!!” She screamed, brushing more wildly, almost wounding her gum

She stopped brushing and rinsed her toothbrush then looked in the mirror again,…

The scene of how he grabbed her and placed his lips on hers came to her head again and she screamed

“No no no….. BB this can’t be happening to you, I feel like dying and dying again why will I get kissed by a guy like him?, I’ve promised myself not to ever let my lips get defiled!, I made a promise to let my lips remain virgin till I get my revenge and die!, how dare you Drew!, How dare you! I wanna die!” She said loudly

She put another paste on her brush and started brushing again

“Even if it means hurting my gum, I have to get rid of your taste! You rotten bastard!, Arrgg!!!” She screamed again

She stopped and looked at the mirror again, she Imagined the scene again and stump her foot on the ground

“Screw you Drew Kaz!, Screw!!!!” She screamed, falling on the ground

” I wanna f*cking die!”

Eddy successfully broke the bathroom door and rushed in

She actually locked herself in….

He bent beside her and BB pouted pitifully

“Are you ok?, Huh?, Why were you screaming?” He asked as worry covered his face

” Go wear my boots and come back to march me, I really need to die, please kill me” she said, throwing her legs up

” What the hell are you talking about?” Eddy said and she sat up

” I really look like a psycho right now, right?, Yeah, I’m going crazy and I might really go mental soon, how could he” she said

” Stop confusing me Bright, we’re the only two at home and yet you didn’t talk to me throughout today in school, you came back home and just entered this place then started shouting, if something is happening please tell me I’m scared” he said, tears are forming in his eyes already

“Are you seriously gonna cry right now?, If those tears fall then I’ll punch you” she said and his tears fell

She raised her fist to his face and Eddy closed his eyes, expecting it

“Weakling” she said and smiled before withdrawing her fist,,

She made to stand but maybe she mistake poured water on the ground during her display, she slipped on it and fell directly on Eddy

“F*ck!” She said, tilting up to behold Eddy’s face beneath him

Eddy opened his eyes and when he saw her face, he bit his lips to control himself.. .

BB stared at him for a while before quickly standing

“Are you ok?” Eddy asked, standing too while wiping his tears

“Sure” she replied simply and her phone rang, unknown number

“I’m speaking with?” She asked immediately she picked

“Come down the road right now, I have a secret to tell you” the voice said and hung up

” Secret?, Secret?” She said and her eyes widened

She ran out of the bathroom and put on her shoes before starting to run out of the house

“Where are you going to?” Eddy asked, holding her

“I need to go somewhere tonight, I’ll be right back, you don’t dare eat dinner before I come, I’ll kill you” she winked and ran out of the house

Eddy thought of the fall earlier and when he remembered how cuter she looked up close, he smiled

“If only you’ll stop winking at me,. It makes me lose my mind” he whispered

*****

BB thought maybe someone finally knew something about her parents murder, that’s why she rushed out to meet whoever it is.

She ran all the way down the road, the streets is still busy though…

She dialled the line and the person picked immediately

“Where are you?” She asked, looking around

*Here” a voice said behind her and she looked back to see a masked guy, he took her hand immediately and pulled her along, she followed without struggling

They got to a silent and quiet place and he faced her

“Who are you?” She questioned and before he could answer, she pulled of his mask

“Drew idiot?” She said shockingly

“I’m sorry I just have to do it this way, I came to give you the money for your pizza” he said, bringing out his wallet

” You called me cos of that?, How ridiculous can you be” she said, glaring at him

” Punch me if you feel like, Theodore said what I did was wrong and he told me to apologise, I’m sorry” he said

She looked at his face, it’s still a mess from her punch and kick in the morning, his lips is still red and swelled

“Thanks to you I almost went crazy, why did you do that why!” She shouted

” To convince my dad” he replied and her eyes widened

She remembered hearing him introducing her to the man as his girlfriend

“Drew!!!!” She screamed, kicking his legs and he staggered

“I said I’m sorry” he replied gently and coughed lightly, he really looks sickly

” You’re nuts” she glared

“I’m sorry again” he replied and she sighed

“Get out I don’t want to see you” she said and he coughed again, he feels dizzy

“Go” she said and he sneezed loudly

“I’m sick….cold” he stuttered

“Seriously I’m sick of you too” she replied and he sneezed again before his eyes went shut, he went down straight, falling on her

“Is he drunk?” She wondered and tried to push him away but she suddenly felt his temperature, f*cking hot!

“Is he a stove?, Shit!, Hey idiot get off me!” She said, shaking him.but he won’t budge, he really passed out

“Should I just kill him and throw his body in the lagoon for fishes?” She wondered, holding him to prevent him from falling.

She saw his red car on the other side of the road and smiled

“I’ll drive you crazy before we get to the hospital”

******

California**

Austen got back to his hotel room with Nikita and took off his clothes immediately, changing into something more comfortable

His mood tonight was scary.

“Are you ok?” He asked gently, taking off Nikita’s shoes

“Oh….em…yeah” she replied

“I’m sorry for acting that way over there, was just so angry” he said, touching her cheek

” It’s ok, just that it felt thrilling to see another side of you today” she smiled

He chuckled and touched her wrist gently

“It got better” she said

They actually branched at the hospital to get it treated

“I’m sorry you had to get hurt” he said

“It’s ok, it wasn’t your fault and I heal quickly, I’ll be ok before daybreak” she replied and stood

” My zip” she said and he went behind her to pull it down, he brought out her PJs from the closet and gave it to her before turning his back on her

“Get changed, back on you” he said and she nodded before starting

She took off her dress and bra before slipping on the PJs

“Done” she said and he faced her

How she looks good in everything remains a wonder

“I’ll sleep on the ground, you can sleep on the bed” he said

” No … Let’s sleep on the bed together I’m fine” she quickly replied

” Really?”

” Yes trust me” she replied and climbed the bed, he did the same and they slept on their individual spaces since the bed is big enough

“Goodnight” Austen said

“Same here” she replied but sleep never came, they both couldn’t close their eyes

She kept rolling around likewise him, unable to sleep

He sighed and rolled for the uptenth time then he came face to face with Nikita who just changed position too

He almost lost his breath and his eyes became bigger as they stopped in front of each other, her small lips staring at him temptingly

Right now his heart is busy slamming hard on his ribcage,…

*Her lips* he thought

Nikita can feel his minty breath brushing her face so she knows he’s in front of her but anytime she thinks of shifting away, she finds that difficult.

“Austen” she whispered.

Austen kept his eyes on her lips and she searched for him with her hand.

Immediately her hand touched him, Austen let his palm meet with her cheek then drew closer to her before taking her lips into his mouth completely.
