HIS LUCKY STAR - EPISODE 9 AND 10

Das’s mansion**

“Mum!!” Melissa shouted in tears as she entered the house, she took off her sneakers and fling it around, not minding where it’ll land

The maids picked them up immediately as she entered the big white living room where Jillian is sitting, watching a show

“Princess” she said shockingly when she saw tears in her eyes

“What’s happening?, Why are you crying?” She asked worriedly, bringing her to sit on the couch while she bent In front of her

“I got slapped in school” she cried

“What!, And who the hell has the guts to slap the great daughter of Das Malcolm” Jillian said

” I dunno, she was wearing a mask, she just came into the cafeteria suddenly and pulled my hair then slapped me, she made me kneel and apologize mum” she cried

” Apologize to who?”

” That dirty Eddy and Olive, I’m hurt mum” she cried like a kid and Jillian hugged her

” Whoever it is, she’d have to pay for it I promise, I’m visiting that school tommorow” Jillian said and Das came in immediately, looking angry

*Honey you came back early” Jillian said, standing up

” Dad” Melissa said, rushing to give him a hug

” I need to rest” he said slowly

“Das are you ok?, Did the son of that worthless late wife of yours make you sad again?” Jillian said and Das’s eyes turned more angry

*What did you just say” he demanded

” I was just saying…. she’s…

“Shut up!, Don’t you ever!, Don’t you ever call her worthless, hear that?” He said

” Das….

“Else you’ll have yourself to blame” he said and pushed Melissa from himself then rushed upstairs

Not like he married Jillian out of love, it was a loveless marriage, he did it to have someone with him in the house

“Mum….dad hates me ” Melissa said and Jillian hugged her .

“He doesn’t, he’s just in a sad mood right now…. caused by the so-called Austin” she said

” I’ll have to go visit him in his office tommorow then, he’ll have to pay for making dad angry” Melissa replied

Sunshine highschool**

The school is just closing and students can be seen pouring out of the school, chatting loudly

BB waited in front of the school, looking everywhere for Eddy, everyone stared at her as they passed

“Do I look like a lion?, Why the unnecessary stares” she muttered to herself and started glaring at everyone who stares, they started looking away and she smirked

Luckily she has finished her exams the other time before causing trouble in the cafeteria and luckily the securities lost sight of her, she’s a good runner and thanks to the mask she was wearing, she wasn’t recognized..

She dipped her hands in her pants pocket when she saw Eddy coming with Olive, Olive is trying to hold his hand as they walked beside each other but maybe she’s not confident enough so her hand kept hovering around Eddy’s, BB smiled immediately

“Love is a bastard….. she’s obviously into him” she giggled

” Bright!” Eddy said immediately he sighted him

” Baby boy” she replied with a thin smile as they got to her

Eddy touched her hair and she slapped his hand away

“I’m not a girl like that” she rolled eyes and Eddy smiled

“Hey” Olive waved

“Hey lover girl” BB smiled

“Lover girl?” Olive said

“You understand” BB winked

” I don’t” Olive replied and BB shrugged

“Thanks for the other time,but you’re crazy” Eddy said

“I know….I must do everything possible to save this baby boy right here” she replied and stroked Eddy’s hair

” Silly girl” Eddy laughed

” How was the questions?” Olive asked

“The examiners are surely elementary school kids…I mean, the questions are too cheap, anyone from the seventh century can solve them” she replied and Eddy laughed

” Then Should we get ready for you on Monday?” Olive said

” Obviously ” BB replied and Eddy held her hand

” Let’s go” he said but BB broke free

“Hold Olive’s instead…baby Teddy” she said and Eddy’s eyes widened

“How did you know my full name is Teddy” he said and BB giggled

” You behave like a baby” she said

” I hate the name, it sounds babyish that’s why I shortened it to Eddy and now that you know, can you continue calling me Eddy?” Eddy said

” Teddy…baby Teddy” BB winked

” Stop” Eddy said

” Baby Teddy baby Teddy baby… Teddy!” BB said loudly

“I’ll just kill you” he said and went after her, she ran and he chased her

Olive watched with mixed feelings, wishing she’s the one getting chased by Eddy

“You think you can catch up with me?, Big lie, I’m a fast runner” BB said as she ran

” Then stop calling me Teddy” he replied behind her

“Since that’s what your parents named you, then I’mma continue calling you that…. Teddy” she replied and he stopped chasing her

” It’s useless talking to you” he said and she stopped too, they stood , glaring at each other till Olive appeared

“Let’s go” Eddy said, taking her hand, BB followed behind and noticed how happy Olive is for the fact that Eddy held her

“I’ll continue saying love is a bastard, darn that thing” she muttered

They board the bus and Olive got down at her stop after waving at them

They got down in front of the coffee cafe

“You aren’t going back to the pizza shop?” Eddy asked

“No, Mister Rick said I can take all today off” she replied with a wink

” Oh” he said and they entered the cafe together

” This place is f*cking big… whoa!” She said, looking around

” Eddy is here” Sunny said as Nikita took off her duty uniform and cap

“Kita!” BB shouted

“Hey be silent” Eddy whispered and she rolled eyes at him

“Shut up or I’mma kick you and send you flying to…..

” San Francisco” Eddy said, finishing it for her

“F*ck you” she muttered and Eddy smiled

“BB?” Nikita said

” Yeah it’s me” she replied when she got to her

Nikita hugged her and she hugged her back reluctantly

“I hate hugs but I’ll make an exception for you” she said and Nikita smiled before releasing her

” How was your exams?” She asked

“The simplest exam I’ve ever written” she replied

” I knew it…. can’t wait for you to go back to school” Nikita said, handing the duty uniform to Sunny

” Eddy you need to talk to Kita” Sunny said

“About what?” Eddy asked

” Someone offered for her to work as a coffee brewer in his office, he offered to triple her salary but she refused”

” What!, Triple?” Eddy and BB chorused

” How much is her salary here monthly?” BB asked

“150 dollars” Sunny replied

” That’ll be f*cking 450, why the hell did you reject that!” BB screamed

” Hey stop shouting… now sis, why?” Eddy said

“I’ve gotten used to this place, it’ll be hard to adjust to another place” Nikita replied

” But you’re smart, I’m sure within three days you’ll get used to wherever it is* Sunny said

“Still…” Nikita said

“She’s stubborn but you have to do everything possible to make her give in, the money will go a long way in helping you guys” Sunny said

” She’ll go, leave it to me” BB said

” Yeah, she’ll do it” Eddy said

” Sunny I’ll see you tommorow” Nikita waved as she left with Eddy and BB.

Special Ones Studios**

“The shoot is in twenty minutes time but Melissa is not around yet” one of the models said

” She’s arrogant and so full of herself, I guess she’d want everyone to be here before she comes, then start feeling like a queen, that b*tch* another one said

The top five most popular teen models were actually chosen for the shoot,…. FACE OF MKAY FASHION, the biggest fashion institute in Texas

Kayla Fabio entered the studio, looking all elegant and pretty, the two other models greeted her respectfully and she smiled, hugging them one by one

Melissa Malcolm is the second most popular but Kayla Fabio is the most popular….top one…. She’s same age as Melissa but she’s kind and respectful, she’s too pretty and the fact that she’s more popular than Melissa makes Melissa boil anytime she’s close

“Melissa is not here yet?” Kayla asked

“That brat?, She’s not here yet”

“And who did you just address as brat” Melissa said, entering the studio with her manager behind her

“Well I’m just saying the truth” the girl replied

“Gemma I’ve always told you to stay away from me but you choose to always step on my toes, what if I slap you right now, what are you gonna do” Melissa said and Gemma smirked

” Slap me first then you’ll know what I can do” she said

Melissa raised her hand to slap Gemma but Kayla held her hand and she looked at Kayla hatefully

“How dare you hold my hand!” she barked, taking he hand from her

“Everyone knows you in the modelling industry cos of your rude arrogance, till when are you gonna keep this up” Kayla said

” Are you jealous cos I’m richer?” Melissa said and Kayla laughed

” Babe you mostly boast of your parents money…but all I’ve made all my life, all I have to boast of is my money, I make my money, anything else to say?” Kayla said and Melissa glared at her while Kayla just smiled

“Drew Kaz is here!” One of the directors said and they all straightened up to witness his entry

Among the five selected teen models, Drew is the only male….the third most popular when it comes to Unis*x selection but in the male category, he’s the first…he’s hot!, Just like a demigod

He hates mingling with girls so how he agreed to be the only male model for this shoot is surprising

He came in stylishly, taking every step with caution and every of the girls started adjusting themselves,,

Melissa slid a large piece of her hair behind her ear and smiled at him but he’s not even looking at her, he’s not looking at anyone, he remained neutral till he went in and they all followed

They went to their personal changing rooms and got changed, it took over an hour each for the girls to make up and everything

They all came out looking pretty and just tempting, all wearing white short s*xy strapless gowns and different expensive heels, Drew is putting on a white suit too, looking too dashing

“He looks like one groom in the midst of four brides” one the directors said

He’s too cute and the girls are too pretty, MKAY really choose the best” another one said

Yeah…but Kayla looks outstanding among the girls, if only I had a son”

You can’t deny the fact that Melissa looks hot too

I’m not denying but anytime I wanna agree with that fact, all I see is her arrogance

Ok let’s start this shoot

Drew sat on a white chair, Kayla sat on his right side while Melissa sat on his left side

Gemma and the other model stood behind the chair on both sides

“Melissa…. Kayla, try to hold Drew’s shoulders” the main director said

They held his both shoulders but Melissa held his arm too, Drew gave her an unfriendly look and frowned

“Take your hand off my arm” he glared

“Why?” She replied

“Damn, she’s pissing me off, director please change her position or I’ll have to leave” Drew complained

” Ok ” one of them replied and Melissa was made to stand behind him while Gemma came to take her place

“I can’t do this…. how can Gemma take my place” Melissa said

*Melissa calm down, the comfortability of the only male should be considered, he’s not comfortable with you beside him so….” one of the directors said

” And I said no!, I’ll send the cash back to MKAY FASHION, I’m outta here , f*ck you all!” She yelled and left the studio furiously…

*****

9pm**

Austen stopped his car in front of the coffee cafe and rushed in, hoping he’ll still meet Nikita in

He slept off in his office earlier and he’s even glad he did, not like he’s gonna sleep at night anyways

He came across Sunny who’s just preparing to get off work

“Hey miss, is Nikita still here?” He asked

“No, sir, she left since 6” she replied

“Shit!” He said

“You haven’t changed your mind about the offer right?” Sunny asked

” No….can I get her contact… please” he said

” Sure” Sunny replied and gave him

” Thanks….

“Sunny, it’s Sunny” she smiled

“Thanks Sunny” he replied and left quickly, driving all the way to Nikita’s house

He just has to see her before going to bed tonight, he has to….if not, apart from not being able to sleep, she’ll occupy his head

He stopped the car in front of the house and came out of it before dialling her line, leaning on the car

*****

“Sleepyheads” Nikita said when she sensed the house is silent already

Eddy and BB has been playing around since they finished eating dinner but it seems they’re asleep already

“Eddy you need to go sleep inside” she said but it seems he’s already fast asleep

” Bright” She called but she’s not answering either, she’s also fast asleep

“I don’t blame them, they played rough” she said and made to tap one of them but her phone rang

“Incoming call from a new number, incoming call from a new number”

She tapped twice and picked

” Nikita?” The familiar voice said

” Who’s this?” She asked

” It’s Austen, Austen Malcolm, the mocha guy” he replied

” Oh… Mr Austen?, Where did you get my line from?” She replied

” Sunny gave me” he said

” Oh… why did you call?” She asked

” I’m outside your house right now, can you come out for a minute?” He replied

” Come out?, It’s late already, this is past 9 and besides, why?” She replied

” Actually I….. just want to see you” he said

“Why?” She asked

“I just want to” he replied

” I can’t come out…I’m sorry” she replied

” Then I guess I’ll have to stay out here till daybreak” he said

She hung up and tapped Eddy, get woke up and yawned lightly

” Kita?, You aren’t asleep?” He said, standing up

“You need to go sleep inside” she said

” BB will have to manage Sleeping on the table tonight” he said

” No, the bed is big enough for the three of us” Nikita said, tapping BB

She woke up and stood sleepily

“Is breakfast ready?” She asked sleepily and Eddy laughed

” She’s still not awake yet, just sleep talking” he said and guided her in while Nikita followed behind

Eddy and BB slept off within minutes while Nikita just lay down, staring up and thinking about what Austen said earlier

“Will he really wait?, Ion think so, why will he even tell me to come out?, Is he a pervert like Eddy said?, I feel like he’s clean but…..”

She sighed and changed position, it’s a cold night so she’s wearing big thick sweaters and jogger pants

“Will he really wait?, He sounds sincere” she thought, sitting up

Then an heavy wind blew first and it started raining instantly

“Oh no….is he really out?” She thought, getting down from the bed

Luckily she knows where Eddy keeps the umbrella, she went there and searched for it with her hands, she found it and quickly took it then made her way out.

*****

Austen stayed in the rain, waiting for when she’ll come, he’s still full of hope that she’ll come, that’s why he’s not hiding from the rain

The rain drenched him and he shivered when he got to a point, shaking badly as flu got the best of him

He kept looking at the house, not ready to leave if he doesn’t catch a glimpse of her at least

He leaned on the car as he shivered more, his teeth clattering on each other

He looked at his phone again, thankfully it’s waterproof…he made to dial her line again but the front door of the house opened and he stopped

Nikita came out with an umbrella over her head and stood in front of the house, not wanting to move forward so she won’t fall

“Mr Austen” she called gently

He smiled when he saw her, hearing her tiny voice again feels too good, she’s obviously worried and even the small umbrella looks cute in her hands as she stood

“Mr Austen” she called again and he started taking fast steps to her, she heard his footsteps so she turned to the direction she’s hearing it from and pointed her hand forward

He got to her and pulled her closer by that hand, without thinking twice, he hugged her to himself tightly….

“Mr Austen” she whispered..
