YOU OWN MY HEART - EPISODE 27

★★★★★

Erica’s heart beats a million times per second

She found it hard to stop staring at his closed eyes, like something she wasn’t expecting

He broke the kiss but still left his hands on her cheeks

“Huh?, Erica do you still love me?” He asked

“Nelson…

” No just say your mind please” he replied

” I…I still do, a lot” she answered slowly

Nelson smiled gladly

” You… really still love…me?”

“Very much Nelson, I never stopped” she replied

He kissed her softly again

Mickey left the place quietly

Erica reciprocated this time around and kissed him back, holding his shoulders

They continued for minutes till they felt like they’re out of breaths

They broke it and hugged

“I love you Erica” he said gladly

“Love you more baby” she replied

*************

Next morning**

” Yay!!!!!” Erica screamed immediately she entered their room

“I almost lost my ears, what’s up?” Cindy said, just getting up from bed

“Isn’t it obvious?, Nelson made the moves” Nina said

” Sure, he asked me to be his girlfriend and I gladly said yes, finally I got what I’ve always wanted” she replied happily

” Cute, circle completed, I can’t wait to complete our exams tommorow” Nina said

Lucy came in and hugged Erica

” Congrats, I heard everything by the door” she said…

“Thanks baby” Erica replied…

” By the way, if we finish our exams tommorow and we’re given our results in Friday, when are you girls going home?” Cindy asked

” I don’t feel like going home but what can I do?, I’ll go home on Sunday” Nina replied

” I’ll move that same Friday, I must enjoy the two weeks break to the fullest” Erica replied

” I’ll be going home anytime Cindy leaves you since we’re both going to the orphanage” Lucy said

” I’m leaving on Sunday” Cindy said

“So I’m the only one leaving on Friday, ok plan changed, I’m leaving on Sunday too” Erica said

” That’s better” Nina replied

“I miss Tiffany” Lucy suddenly said

“You just said my mind” Nina replied

“Strangely her absence is somehow boring in a strange way, maybe because I now have no one to fight” Cindy said

” I do miss her sometimes” Erica said

” I think I’ll go see her during vacation” Nina said

” You know what?, Just say our regards to her” Lucy said

“Sure” Nina replied…

Mimi’s restaurant**

Daniel and Mary entered hand in hand for lunch and Tiffany can’t help but be surprised

“Oh, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, she once came to see him in school” she thought, smiling without knowing

” You know them?” Minaj asked beside her

“Yeah, the guy was my chemistry teacher in Hilary” she replied, picking a tray

” You’ll attend to them?” Minaj asked

“Sure” she replied, leaving for their table

” Mr Daniel” she smiled when she got there

They both looked up and Daniel can’t hide his surprise

“Tiffany Alphonse?”

“Yes sir , I see you finally made a move, you’re lucky Miss, Mr Daniel is brilliant, handsome, sweet and…

“Tiffany” Daniel said slowly, slightly blushing

Mary smiled and faced Tiff

” Thanks dear, thanks for the nice compliments on my babe” Mary replied

” It nothing, Mr Daniel, don’t be shy, what would you love to have?” Tiffany asked

” The special meal on the menu today” he replied

” Oh, I get that, drinks?” Tiffany said

” The best wine here” Mary replied

” I’ll be right back with your orders, cute couple” Tiffany replied and left

” Never knew she can be as Jovial as this” Mr Daniel said, smiling

“She was uptight?” Mary asked

” A lot.. Chen is her dad”

” The popular womanizer?” Mary said

Daniel nodded

” Never knew that man whore has a daughter” Mary replied

“By the way, you changed lipstick” he said

“You noticed?” She said

“Of course, it looks good than the former one” he replied

She smiled and blew him kisses

“Love you!’ she said…

After meal**

Daniel called Tiffany to talk to her while Mary waited in the car

“Tiffany this is not so good, you can enroll in another school you know” he said

” I’m not interested” Tiffany smiled

“Tiffany it’s your future at stake here, make something out of yourself”

*Mr Daniel, I appreciate your concern but….it won’t work, good luck with your girlfriend, I think she’s cool, hold unto her please..she’s pretty too” she said and smiled again before entering the restaurant

Daniel sighed and joined Mary in the car

“She might be smiling, but she’s still as headstrong as ever” he said

“Maybe with time” Mary retorted

*************

Erica suddenly saw Mickey entering the empty swimming hall and decided to follow him

She got there and he looked back when he heard footsteps, he saw it’s her and pretended like he didn’t see her

She went him and stayed behind him

“Mickey what did you try last night?” She asked

He looked back and smirked

” Are you asking me that now?, I f*cking told you I have crazy feelings for you but you ended up kissing that twat!” He yelled

” My boyfriend is not a twat” she replied

” So it’s like that now right?, I helped you and…

“So you’re doing all this cos of the help you willingly offered?, Remember I never asked for your help but you offered it willingly, I accepted and appreciated it, I broke the game politely when I got what I wanted, and then you started behaving weird” she said

” And that’s because I love you!, I dunno how it happened!, I just suddenly can’t stop thinking about you!” He yelled

” I’m sorry Mickey, that won’t be possible cos Nelson is now my boyfriend” she replied

” What if I tell him we once played a game?” He said

” I told him already, don’t try to blackmail me” she replied

” I’ll do anything possible…I mean anything, to make you mine next term, brace up” he said seriously before leaving

Erica sighed

” Why is he being like this?” She thought…

*************

The news of Santos Malik’s death is the talk of the city that evening

Santos Malik is the most popular and most dangerous Mafia here in California together with his wife, Tanny Malik….

They died in a car accident some minutes ago and the news is spreading like wildfire

Mary can’t believe her eyes at what she’s seeing, she’s too happy that she started jumping up on her couch

“Finally madam Tessy will come back, she’ll be back I’m sure of it” she said

************

Minaj went home early today cos she was experiencing menstrual cramps so it’s only Tiffany on her way home

She thought about what Daniel told her earlier but quickly brushed it off

“That’s nonsense” she thought

A car suddenly stopped beside her, without asking, she knows it’s Geoffrey

She stopped and his guards opened the door for him
.he came out elegantly with smiles

“Annie” he said

“I’m not… Annie” she replied, dipping her hand in her pocket

“Let’s go out together” he said

“I won’t” she replied, eyeing him

He smiled

” Should I bundle you up into the car?’ he said

” Don’t you dare” she replied

“My Annie” he said, holding her hand

“I’m not Annie anyways” she replied, taking her hand from him

He suddenly hugged her, not letting her go

“Geography!” She said, wriggling to free herself

“Annie” he replied, tightening his grip

“Please let me go before I bite you” she said

“Feel free to bite me, I won’t shout” he replied

Another car suddenly stopped beside the road and five guards came out of it

“Young master, your dad requests to see you right now” one of them said

“Dad?, Why?”

They went mute

He let go of her and pecked her

She rubbed the peck off her cheeks

“See ya!” He said, going into his car

The guards got in the car too and drove behind him till they’re out of sight

“Just who is he?” Tiffany thought, bringing out her phone…

He searched for Geoffrey on Facebook and saw many of them but not him

Then he went to Google and googled “Geoffrey dark hair”

He’s the first picture he’ll see

She smiled unknowingly

“Jerk” she muttered and clicked on it, below it was written;

“The handsome son of the great commissioner Andre ”

Her eyes widened

“He’s the son of commissioner Andre???”
