    ★★★★★★★★★★★★
    “Jericho??” Richard mentioned with shock written all over his face. 
    “Richard” Jericho also called as if to clear his doubt. 
    “What are you doing here?” Richard asked. 
    “I should be asking you too” Jericho said. 
    “Wait…don’t tell me you’re HP” 
    “I am and you’re Blazzy? Seriously?” 
    “Does this sound like a joke to you? How can you be HP for heaven sake!”
    “I can say the same,stop acting like I knew it was you all along,we are both shocked and confused here,not just you okay?!” Jericho snapped back and Richard sighed. 
    He run his hand into his hair in annoyance and sat down on the bench close by,he couldn’t utter a word,it was as if everything was against him that moment,when he finally thought he could have a friend to call his own,then it turns out to be someone he doesn’t even like standing beside. 
    “Look..I know you’re disappointed okay? Since you don’t like me…”
    “You don’t like me either! Don’t paint me as the bad person here,we don’t like each other!” Richard shouted. 
    “Well at least we like each other as HP and Blazzy” Jericho said. 
    “Is this a joke to you?” Richard asked. 
    “Who said it’s a joke?” Jericho frowned. 
    ” You’re obviously making fun of me,because you have a lot of people surrounding you..you have friends but for me it’s different. You don’t even know how I kept anticipating all night just because I was going to meet a friend! When you went offline for weeks,it was as if I was going to die of loneliness because the supposed HP is the only person I talk to! You can’t understand the pain I’m feeling right now. The app must have being a joke to you,maybe you created it by mistake and just played along,but for me I created it because I was dying inwardly…you can’t even understand,since your life is perfect” Richard said and got up. 
    Jericho sighed speechlessly,watching Richard as he turned,ready to leave. 
    “So you’re just going to leave because I’m someone you don’t like?” Jericho asked and Richard paused. 
    “You don’t like me either and probably you are angry too because it’s me” He muttered. 
    “Well I don’t hate you either,and I don’t think we have a particular beef to hate each other. You can’t just throw the friendship of months away because I turn out to be Jericho” Jericho said. 
    Richard faced him. 
    “And you think it’s ever going to be the same? It was me who always tell you shits,I told you when I was crushing on a girl,I told you how my parents are,I even told you about my interest in music and all that,but you…..”
    “If you want to know about me I can tell you” Jericho cut in. 
    “Are you serious right now? Don’t play with me” Richard scoffed.
    “You like HP,you seem to like him alot” Jericho teased and Richard glared at him. 
    “Can I ask about the audition you went for?” Jericho asked. 
    “I don’t think I did well….I was asking nervous as hell….it’s my first time singing in front of more than five people,,I’ve never even sang with one person in the same room with me,I messed up” Richard said. 
    “Well I can help you get in no matter what” Jericho said and his eyes widened. 
    “Really?” 
    “If you still see me as your friend,I will do that” Jericho looked away. .
    “So now you bribe people?” Richard frowned. 
    “It’s for your own good,you still call it a bribe? Are you a girl?” Jericho chuckled. 
    “Fine,let’s exchange numbers” Richard said. 
    “Cool” Jericho smiled. 
    “I’m making so much friends these days” He shook his head and Richard scoffed. 
    *
    6PM, SATURDAY, NOIR’S MANSION*
    Jericho came down the stairs and entered the dining room, he met Clent coordinating the maids setting the table. 
    Clent stood tall, his eyes scanning the table setting with a keen eye for detail.
     “Place the silverware to the right, Emily,” he instructed, his voice firm but polite.
     “And make sure the glasses are polished, Sarah.”
    The maids scurried to obey, their movements swift and silent. The table was set with fine china, adorned with intricate patterns and gold trim. The centerpiece featured a majestic candelabra, its candles casting a warm glow over the proceedings.
    The aroma of roasting meat wafted through the air, teasing Jericho’s senses. His stomach growled in anticipation as he surveyed the feast spread before him. Platters of succulent roasted beef, glazed ham, and steaming vegetables vied for space alongside bowls of creamy mashed potatoes and fragrant stuffing. A majestic turkey, its skin golden and crispy, sat proudly at the table’s center.
    Clent turned and faced Jericho. 
    “All done as you requested” he said. 
    “I can see” Jericho nodded. 
    “Sky just left,he got a call from the company” Clent told him and Jericho nidded. 
    “Are you having a special dinner with Marigold?” Clent asked. 
    “No,for my friends” Jericho replied. 
    “Friends? I thought you only have Franco,didn’t know you finally moved on to having friends” Clent teased.
    “Well,Franco and I are like brothers,I won’t say we are just friends” Jericho said and Clent nodded. 
    “Have you finally decided to meet Mr Brown? He won’t stop disturbing me since you aren’t picking his calls,I told him he should come over to your place” 
    “No,I will go there….maybe tomorrow,tell him that” Jericho said and Clent smiled. 
    “Good of you,don’t worry. I’m sure he regrets everything” 
    “But he shouldn’t expect me to announce to everyone that he’s my dad,if he’s going to use me for his rally,it’s never going to happen. Everyone knows he has just one son,it should remain like that forever” Jericho said and Clent sighed. 
    “He won’t be so shameless to ask you to do that Jericho,I’m so sure” Clent said. 
    “So…I will leave you to enjoy your dinner” He bowed. 
    “Thank you” Jericho said. 
    “I will drive the maids home,they will be here early tomorrow morning to clean up..sleep well” Clent said and Jericho replied with a nod,watching as the maids followed Clent and they left. 
    Just two minutes later,Franco and Shawn arrived. 
    “Whoa,I can perceive that perfect aroma in the air” Shawn said happily. 
    Just Thursday night,he was here with Franco to make up with Jericho and now they are cool. 
    “You came with him” Jericho said to Franco jealously and Franco chuckled. 
    “I was with him so we came here directly” Shawn said. 
    “So now you go to his house everyday?” Jericho scoffed. 
    “You two,don’t start. I’m hungry,let’s go” Franco said,inhaling the food aroma. 
    “I’m expecting two more” Jericho said and they faced him. 
    “What two?” Franco asked. 
    “You will see,my two new friends” Jericho smiled. 
    “Seriously? Who are they?” Shawn asked. 
    “It’s a surprise,don’t worry” Jericho replied. 
    “Wow,when did our precious Jericho started making friends?” Franco asked in a teasing voice. 
    “Coming from someone who is ditching me now because of another person” Jericho said. 
    “I’m not another person,we are friends,don’t be annoying” Shawn snapped. 
    “You should focus on your Olympic competition coming” Jericho said. 
    “Gosh,you just remind me I’m for training tomorrow again” Shawn groaned. 
    “When is it?” Franco asked. 
    “It’s next month,you will be there right?” Shawn asked. 
    “Of course,I have to. So you should make sure you win that golden medal or forget about me” 
    “Stop talking like you’re my girlfriend” Shawn said and they all laughed. 
    “You two are crazy” Jericho said. 
    They heard the door bell and stopped laughing. 
    Franco went to open the door and he almost couldn’t believe his eyes when Richard came in,he turned back to Jericho with a…’how come’ look in his face. 
    “Richard?” Shawn called and also looked at Jericho. 
    “Am I a ghost? Why are you acting so shocked?” Richard asked in a low voice. 
    “I’m confused here,what’s going on? I thought you two can’t stand each other,someone should explain” Franco said impatiently. 
    “Well we are best friends…..”
    “Best friends online” Richard immediately corrected Jericho. 
    “Online?” Shawn and Franco asked in shock and the both nodded.
    “Jericho,I can’t believe you are into things like that too,were you planning to ditch me after making an online friend?” Franco asked seriously. 
    “Yeah,but it didn’t work,I love you too much to ditch you”  Jericho said and Franco scoffed. 
    They were still talking when the door bell sounded again. 
    “It’s not Reid this time right?” Franco asked.
    “Bastard” Jericho said and Shawn laughed. 
    “I don’t trust you again Bro” Franco said and went to open the door,revealing Xavier. 
    “Whoa..is that our in law?” Franco asked and Xavier shook his head before coming inside. 
    “I thought you won’t show up” Jericho said. 
    “You wouldn’t let me rest with your texts” Xavier said. 
    “I remember you texted me First” Jericho snapped. 
    “Because you told me to” Xavier snapped back. 
    “You had a choice,I didn’t force you to send a message,you should have just torn that piece of paper and I won’t force you!” Jericho half yelled. 
    “You shouldn’t have given me in the first place! I never asked for it!” Xavier shouted back. 
    They kept on arguing for almost ten minutes while the other three boys watched them,all looking confused and dumbfounded because what they are arguing about is almost senseless. 
    “Please can we eat now?” Shawn yawned. 
    Jericho and Xavier stopped and scoffed at each other.
    The five of them walked to the dinning room. 
    “Are you proposing to all of us?” Richard asked Jericho with wide eyes when he saw the delicacies on the table. 
    The boys burst into laughter. 
    “It’s because I don’t know what you guys like dummy” Jericho scoffed,they sat down. 
    “These look so good” Shawn said,going for the turkey first. 
    Jericho and Xavier slapped his hand at once. 
    “What,are you two using the same brain cell?” Shawn asked but still cut out of the turkey anyway. 
    “I can’t believe in sitting here” Richard muttered. 
    “I’m confused more than you” Franco said. 
    “Let’s forget about the past,eat away the past” Jericho grinned. 
    “You have three lives dude,are you a wolf?” Shawn asked. 
    “Tiger” Jericho winked and Xavier scoffed.
    “Indeed” 
    “She saved your name as Lion on her phone,do you know?” Jericho asked and Xavier coughed. 
    He drank water and looked up. 
    “What? Lion?” 
    Jericho chuckled. 
    “I’m Tiger and you’re Lion,does that even make sense? I think we should fight in front of her so she can know who deserves to be a tiger and who should be the Lion” Jericho said. 
    Franco scoffed and continue eating. 
    “You’re crazy,who said I want to be called a Lion?” Xavier asked. 
    “Maybe because she haven’t seen a lion laughing before” Richard said and they laughed. 
    “Who said I don’t laugh?” Xavier asked. 
    “You only laugh when you’re with your girlfriend” Jericho said 
    “What?! Xavier has a girlfriend?” Shawn asked. 
    “Yeah” Xavier muttered. 
    *
    A RESTAURANT*
    Melissa fidgeted with her napkin, her eyes fixed on her dad, Mr. Josh, as they sat in the private lounge of the restaurant. The table was set with delicious-looking food, but neither of them had touched it yet. They were waiting for his date to arrive.
    “Dad, I’m so nervous,” Melissa admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.
     “I can’t believe you’re finally dating someone. It’s been so long since Mom passed away.”
    Mr. Josh smiled softly.
     “I know, sweetie, But somehow, I really like this woman, and I think you will too. She’s kind, smart, and beautiful.”
    Melissa nodded, her eyes shining with excitement. 
    “I can’t wait to meet her! What’s she like? What does she do?”
    Mr. Josh chuckled. 
    “You’ll see soon enough. Just be yourself, and let’s have a good time. And don’t worry, I think you’ll really like her.”
    Melissa nodded, taking a deep breath to calm her nerves. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Her dad had been single for so long, and she was happy to see him finally moving on.
    Just then, the door opened, and Samantha walked in with….wait..Catalina?!!
    Melissa’s eyes widened in shock as she took in Catalina’s presence. What was she doing here?! She couldn’t believe that her dad’s date was Catalina’s mom!
    Samantha smiled warmly at Mr. Josh, and he stood up to greet her.
     “Samantha, this is my daughter, Melissa.”
    Samantha’s eyes lit up.
     “It’s so nice to finally meet you, Melissa. I’ve heard a lot about you.”
    Melissa’s eyes darted to Catalina, who looked just as shocked as she did. This was not what she had expected! She couldn’t believe that her dad was dating her enemy’s mom!
    Catalina’s eyes narrowed, her voice dripping with sarcasm. 
    “Yeah, I can’t believe it either. What a coincidence.”
    Melissa chuckled,trying to control her anger
    “Melissa,Samantha is saying Hi” Mr Josh said. 
    “Thank you,nice meeting you too” Melissa smiled shortly and sat down. 
    “This is my girl..Catalina” Samantha also introduced. 
    “Hello sir!” Catalina went to hug him excitedly and Melissa frowned. 
    “Thank you so much for inviting me over to this dinner,I’ve always wanted to meet you,my mom have told me a lot about you and I’m just so excited right now” she gushed. 
    ‘Such a pretender’ Melissa thought and let out a loud scoff. 
    “You’re so beautiful Catalina” Mr Josh said. 
    “I took after mom” Catalina said and Samantha smiled. 
    Melissa rolled her eyes as her dad kept talking to Catalina,they seem to be bonding so well. 
    “Melissa,you’re not eating? Don’t I meet your expectations?” Samantha asked and Melissa looked at her. 
    “What are you talking about? Aren’t you the popular actress everyone’s dying to meet?” She chuckled. 
    “I’m just wondering because you’re not talking to me” Samantha said. 
    “Melissa” Mr Josh frowned at her. 
    “I’m sorry” Melissa muttered. 
    Her eyes met with Catalina’s own and she smiled. 
    “I’m going to use the restroom” She got up and walked away. 
    “Me too” Catalina said and followed. 
    “I think she doesn’t like me” Samantha sighed. 
    “Come on,Melissa isn’t like that,I’m sure she’s just nervous,she’s been talking about how nervous she is,she will come around” Mr Josh said. 
    “I hope so” Samantha muttered. 
    *
    “So you and I will end up as step sisters? Isn’t this amazing?” Catalina asked. 
    Melissa faced her. 
    “I guess you’re enjoying this” 
    “Of course,why not?” Catalina smiled. 
    “My mom like your dad a lot,I love seeing my mom smile,I don’t care about you..don’t spoil my mom’s happiness because of our own life. They both like each other and that’s all that matters,I’m going to be a good daughter too.. Your dad is rich,I know him” Catalina grinned. 
    “Silly” Melissa rolled her eyes and left the restroom. 
    “Come on” Catalina whined and grabbed Melissa’s hand with a pout. 
    Melissa’s eyes widened,she knew Catalina was faking it.
    “Wow you two seems to like each other already” Samantha smiled. 
    “Of course mom,we attend the same school,we are in the same department too” Catalina said. 
    “Really? That’s amazing,then let’s enjoy our dinner while we talk” Mr Josh said and the family sat down properly. 
    *
    SUNDAY NIGHT, NOIR’S MANSION*
    Marigold was inside the kitchen,she was putting on Jericho’s hoodie as she prepared two mugs of hot tea for them,the rain was falling heavily,the night is so cold and freezing. 
    Jericho came in,smiling as he stared intensely at her from her smooth straight legs up..the hoodie stopped just on her butt making her look fucking sexy. 
    He hugged her from the back,snuggling her like a teddy bear. 
    “Come on,I thought you wouldn’t come down,I’m almost done” Marigold said and Jericho kissed her cheek. 
    “You’re so cute kitten,so damn cute” He said and kissed her neck. 
    “Thank you” Marigold chewed on her bottom lip. 
    Jericho kept hugging her. 
    “Ever had a boyfriend?” He asked. 
    “That was just….in high school…it didn’t really last though,we did not even kiss” She scoffed. 
    “Really?”
    “Yeah,but Jay really liked me so much,he was so caring,handsome too,he always buy me cheese cake and ice cream and…..”
    “Stop it” Jericho said and stopped hugging her. 
    She turned to see him frowning. 
    “I didn’t mean to get you mad,you asked me…..”
    “You should have just answered yes or no,why telling me how handsome and caring he is? Why would you be praising another guy when I’m right here?” Jericho snapped and Marigold blinked,she was almost confused,she never knew Jericho would get mad at such little thing. 
    “I’m sorry,I was just…I’m sorry” She said and went for his lips. 
    He kissed her back almost immediately as if he was expecting her lips on his own already. 
    The kiss got deeper every second,Jericho slides his tongue inside her mouth and she gasped. She felt his hand slides inside the hoodie and captured her boobs. 
    “F+ck” she moaned into the kiss and that sound drove Jericho crazy. 
    He carried her and placed her on the kitchen center table,he was kissing her harder and harder,making her lose her breath but she didn’t push him off. 
    He was devoring her like some kind of candy,his grunt and soft mo@ns filled her mouth as he lick every part of her mouth. 
    “F+ck,you’re so damn delicious kitten” He said finally moving back,Marigold caught her breath but he started kissing her again,even more rough. 
    His hand went down to her pantie and he started taking it off. 
    “Tiger…let’s get to the room…the ….tea….” She couldn’t finish when Jericho shoved two fingers inside her pussy. 
    “Ouch!! Jericho!” 
    He kissed her again,his fingers swimming Inside her,he was f+cking her hole,her mo@ns covering his mouth. 
    “Jericho” She threw her head back when he finally stopped kissing her. 
    Jericho slides off her p@ntie and inhale the smell before throwing it off somewhere. 
    “I’m going to f+ck you…..” He lean closer to her ear. 
    “Until you forget that stupid name of your immature high school boyfriend” He whispered. 
    “Jericho…you can’t..punish me for what you asked me….f+ck!!!” 
    His tongue already torturing her honeypot. 
    “Jericho!”
    “I prefer tiger though” Jericho said,biting her p+ssy. 
    “Gosh!!! I’m gonna….f+ck!”

    ★★★★★★★★★★★★
    Marigold’s m0@ns occupied the room as Jericho ate up her clean honeypot,making use of his tongue in the right way,he bit her pussy lips and she grabbed his hair. 
    “Tiger……”
    Jericho’s hand mess with her thighs,turning her crazily on,she was literally finding it hard to use her voice as the pleasure mixed with sweetness. 
    “Baby…..f+ck……oh gosh” 
    Jericho finished his work and returned to her ni+ple,s+cking like a baby would do a good job in s+cking his mother. 
    “I can’t wait anymore….I can’t” Marigold uttered. 
    Jericho looked up into her eyes,his gaze made her p+$sy drip with wetness. 
    “Are you sure?” He asked in a s+ductive voice. 
    “I don’t care if it hurts,I just want you Tiger,please” Marigold muttered,her hand caressing his bare chest. She stared as Jericho got rid of his trousers and underwear,seeing his d+ck sprang out made her swallow. 
    “It’s…..really big” She muttered and Jericho chuckled. 
    “Don’t cry later,I won’t stop” He winked. 
    “I can’t promise,but don’t stop even if I do” Marigold muttered. 
    Their lips locked again,bodies colliding against each other,in that manner,Jericho gently drove in his d+ck inside her. 
    She broke the kiss and inhaled,her eyes went shut as she felt the pain,she held him tightly,he went deeper,feeling her tightness around his c+ck. 
    “Damn” He groaned. 
    He slides out and thrust inside again. 
    “Ohh” Marigold grunt and bite her lips. 
    He continue the gentle slides and thrusts till she adjusted to his size. 
    “That……hurts” Marigold broke out. 
    Their eyes locked and she smiled.
    “Don’t stop,I’m good….ouch!” 
    “Kiss me kiss me” She cried and Jericho immediately kissed her,she wrapped her hands around her neck,kissing him in a fast pace. 
    Jericho held her waist and gave her honeypot five fast thrusts which got her screaming out again. 
    “Tiger!!!” 
    “Sorry” Jericho muttered. 
    “Should I stop?” He asked and she gently nodded. 
    “Don’t look down….don’t look” She sniffs as she felt the liquid flowing slowly out of her. 
    “I won’t” Jericho kissed her and got down from her,he covered her with the duvet. 
    “Did I hurt you?” 
    She shook her head. 
    Jericho carried her in a bridal style out of her. 
    “The bedspread…got stained” She pointed at it and buried her face in his chest shyly. 
    “If you hide your face again,I’m going for the next round in the bathroom” Jericho said. 
    “What?!” She screamed. 
    “You said you wanted me and I gave myself to you” Jericho said and she laughed. 
    “You’re silly” 
    They went into the bathroom and dropped her in the bathtub before pulling off the duvet from her body. 
    *
    7PM, ANNIE’S PLACE*
    Xavier flashed Annie a smile the moment she opened the door for him. 
    “Sorry I’m late,I was in the middle of something when you called” He said and entered,Annie locked the door back and turned to meet him already sitting in front of her laptop,operating on it. 
    “I thought you said you were working on something and you need my……” He got lost in his words and he raised his head to see what she was wearing. 
    She was putting on a complete transparent nightie,he could see her nip+les pointing out,down to her pantie line. 
    “How could you pass me by without checking me out first? Gosh” Annie frowned and started walking away. 
    “I’m sorry,hey” Xavier immediately called her back. 
    She faced him again and rolled her eyes. 
    “I thought it was something important so I wanted to help you quickly” Xavier muttered. 
    “I wasn’t doing anything,I just wanted you to come over” She said,feeling embarrassed. 
    “You don’t have to make up any excuse for that,I wouldn’t hesitate to come here if you called” Xavier said and stood up and moved close to her. 
    “I just missed you,I honestly I’ve never felt this way before,so don’t make fun of me” She pouted and Xavier chuckled. 
    “What,are you mocking me? Because I’m the one missing you? So you don’t miss me?” 
    “You’re so cute….are you sure you’re twenty seven?” Xavier asked and she pushed his chest playfully. 
    Xavier looked down at her nightie. 
    “Did you put this on….for me?” He asked. 
    “No I didn’t” She immediately said. 
    “Liar,why were you mad because I didn’t check you out?” Xavier teased. 
    “You caught me” Annie groaned and Xavier smiled. 
    “You look s+xy,for real” He muttered and trace his thumb through her pointed nipple while locking eyes with her,making her body vibrate.
    She bit her lips and curled her hands around his neck. 
    “Have I told you yet?” Xavier asked,his hand resting on her @ss. 
    “What?”
    “I love you” He said and her cheeks turned red. 
    “Since when?? When did you fell for me?” She asked. 
    “Since first year” Xavier replied. 
    “Huh? That’s….three years ago” her eyes widened. 
    “I’m good in hiding my feelings as you can see” Xavier muttered. 
    “But….why now?” Annie asked. 
    “Because back then I was just nineteen,and you wouldn’t want to date a teenager right?” He said and Annie chuckled. 
    “So now you think you’re a big man?” She asked. 
    “Old enough to tell some old fools to fuck off when they touch you” Xavier winked. 
    “Stop! I’m dying here” Annie groaned. 
    Xavier pulled her closer and kissed her nose. 
    “My lips…lips” Annie uttered and he pecked her. 
    “Will you spend the night here?” She asked. 
    Xavier pulled her off gently and cupped her cheeks. 
    “I wish I can,but..” He shook his head. 
    Annie sighed sadly. 
    “Let’s find another day,we can have fun all day and overnight,but not this night” Xavier said. 
    “But you’re not leaving now right?” Annie raised her brows and Xavier shook his head. 
    “I’m gonna prepare you something to eat” She pecked his cheek before turning to leave. 
    Xavier’s eyes followed her @ss shaking in the nightie and he didn’t think twice,he followed her and spanked her. 
    Annie blushed and looked at him,he winked at her. 
    *
    JERICHO’S RESIDENCE*
    Marigold opened her eyes slowly,she yawned and looked around the room,the room was empty,just her. 
    She sat up on the bed and shoved the duvet out of her body,Jericho had changed the bedspread and duvet earlier before she slept off. 
    “Gentleman” She said jokingly and got down from the bed,she was still naked. 
    She went into his dressing room and opened his closet,she picked one of his shirt and put it on,it was able to cover up to her thighs. After wearing it she left the room. 
    “Where is he?” She mumbled,she checked the balcony first but no sign of him,she went downstairs and found Jericho in the dinning room. 
    “What are you doing?” She asked and Jericho turned. 
    “You’re awake” he smiled. 
    Marigold returned the smile and ran over to him,she hugged him from the back and rubbed his chest. 
    “Can you always remain shirtless whenever we are alone?” She asked. 
    “Little pervert” Jericho chuckled. 
    “I love your abs and tattoos” She said and kissed his back. 
    “I ordered food for us,I was about setting the table and call you” Jericho said finally done. 
    “Wow,they look delicious….” Marigold muttered. 
    Jericho turned and faced her. 
    “How are you feeling?” He asked. 
    “I’m good,don’t worry about me” She said. 
    Jericho kissed her hair and carried her by the waist,he placed her on the table and went in between her thi+hs. 
    “You know I love you right?” He asked and she nodded. 
    “My shirt looks good on you” Jericho said with a n+ughty smile,staring at her chest,she left few buttons undone so he could see her cleavages. 
    Marigold wasn’t listening anymore,she already grabbed one of the chicken laps,she dipped it into the sauce and started eating. 
    “Why aren’t you eating?” She asked only to see Jericho already unbuttoning the rest of her buttons. 
    “Tiger……” She swallowed hard when he bent a little and captured her breast with his mouth,s+cking her. 
    “Oh gosh” She m0@ned,managing to keep her eyes open. 
    Jericho gave her ni+ple a little bite and continue s+cking her hard,within two minutes she could feel herself getting wet. 
    “Tiger….I’m…..fuck” She dropped the chicken in her hand. Jericho unbuttoned the shirt completely and she was naked on the table. 
    “Would you like my cock inside you again?” He asked in a whisper and Marigold swallowed,she nodded anyway,not like she doesn’t want it. 
    Jericho dragged his zipper down and carried her at once,he didn’t give her any space to adjust before driving in his dick inside her. 
    “Ouch…” She hugged him. 
    “Look into my eyes kitten” He uttered and she looked down at him,her hands around his neck,their eyes looked. 
    Jericho held her butt cheek and started fucking her,gently at first. 
    “Fuck….” She threw her head backward.
    “Look at me” Jericho groaned and their eyes locked again. 
    Jericho increased his pace,his dick sliding in and out of her pussy,hitting the right spot,Marigold opened her mouth to moan but her voice got seized for a second. 
    “Gosh Jeri!!” She screamed. 
    “Fuck..Mari” Jericho groaned,resting his dick inside her for two seconds,their breaths hitting each other’s faces. 
    “I’m….I feel….stran…..ggeeeeeeee” Marigold’s voice shook. 
    “Cum for me kitten….” 
    “Damn…….ohhh….” 
    They both came together at once,moaning hard. 
    Marigold’s head fell on his shoulder weakly. 
    “Are you good?” Jericho asked. 
    “I’m hungry” She said and Jericho laughed. 
    He dropped her back on the table and help her wear the shirt back,he dropped her on the floor and pulled back a seat for her,they both sat down to eat.

    A WEEK LATER, O•V UNIVERSITY*
    As Kelly walked in the hall way,focused on his phone,he didn’t notice Melissa standing in front of him,waiting. He almost bumped into her. 
    “Oh…..” He raised his brows. 
    “Let’s talk” Melissa muttered and entered into an empty class,Kelly sighed and followed her. 
    “Is there a problem?” He asked. 
    “Why haven’t you talked to me?” She asked. 
    “Is there a reason why I should?” 
    “You took me home that night right? It was you,I was drunk but….I tried so hard to think and it was you” Melissa said. 
    Kelly looked at her tensely. 
    “Then?” 
    “Did I do…something crazy by chance that night?” Melissa mumbled,touching her hair. 
    “I can’t really remember” Kelly replied. 
    “I guess I did…your reaction says it all” She groaned. 
    “Really? I said I can’t remember” Kelly said. 
    “Thank you for taking me home,I was a little bit silly that day so I had no choice…..”
    “You don’t have to explain anything to me….don’t bother” Kelly cut in. 
    “Then….would you like to have my contact…..”
    “No” Kelly said and went out straight away. 
    Melissa blinked her eyes. 
    “Did he just…..rejected me?” She asked,not believing her eyes,she looked at herself and scoffed. 
    “He might be shy,definitely” She smiled and walked out to check him but he was already gone. 
    “He will definitely come back” She muttered.
    *
    “Babe! Have you heard Holly’s new song ft Noir?! It was released this morning!” Yuna screamed immediately she saw Marigold. 
    “Really? I haven’t heard about it” Marigold shook her head. 
    “You’re missing out…and do you know the craziest part?” Sawyer asked. 
    “We got our concert tickets,front seat!!” Yuna and Sawyer chorused at once. 
    “I heard the tickets got sold out the moment it came out,over two million tickets,the hall was entirely booked with no single seats left,some are even complaining that the concert hall isn’t big enough,but that’s the biggest concert hall in Paris,I feel bad for them but…….at least I got mine,I guess Noir doesn’t know how popular he is yet,his fans are crazy” Yuna grinned. 
    “You didn’t tell us anything” Alice said. 
    “That’s unfair,I want one too” Marigold pouted. 
    “Are you two kidding? We got for you of course” Yuna said,bringing the two tickets out of her bag. 
    “I seriously can’t wait honestly,I wish he performs with Holly on stage,it’s gonna be crazy” Sawyer said. 
    “I don’t care about that,the only thing I care about right now is seeing Noir’s face” Yuna said dreamily. 
    “What if he doesn’t reveal his face and just perform with mask on?” Alice asked. 
    “I might die,but then…listening to his voice live is an achievement too” Yuna mumbled and they laughed. 
    “When should we go shopping? How about matching outfits for the concert?” Yuna asked. 
    “I love the idea” Marigold nodded. 
    “Yeah let’s do that…” Alice smiled. 
    “Let’s go next week then,the concert is in two weeks,so…..” She winked. 
    *
    EVENING, ROBINSON’S MANSION* 
    Richard was just coming out of the bathroom,he met his phone ringing and he was over to the table. 
    He took the phone,it’s an unknown number but he answered. 
    “Hello?”
    “Is this Richie?” The voice asked.
    “Yeah”
    “I’m calling from FREQ” 
    Richard’s eyes widened. 
    “I called to tell you that we listened to the song demo you sent and it was really good,would you like to come over for further discussion?”
    “Of course! Yes I would love to!” Richard said happily. 
    “How about next week? A proper invitation would be sent to you”
    “Sure,I will be expecting that” 
    The call came to an end and Richard almost screamed out but he didn’t,how would he explain what’s going on?
    Seems like his music career is finally coming to pass,his dream coming true. 
    *
    9PM, SCOTTS’ MANSION*
    Marigold groaned loudly as she rolled from one side of her bed to another,she couldn’t sleep no matter how she tries. She got down from the bed and went into the bathroom,she washed her face and returned back into the room. 
    She stood in front of the mirror,staring at herself. Her eyes fell on her b👀bs standing inside her nightwear and her mind went to Jericho,she imagined him sucking her and she didn’t realized when she m0@ned,she covered her mouth with her palm and blinked. 
    “Oh Tiger,,you’re making me go crazy” She faked a crying face and fell on the bed loudly,her phone suddenly started ringing. 
    She checked the screen and immediately sat up well when she saw Jericho. 
    “Baby” She pouted childishly. 
    “Kitten” Jericho called. 
    “I miss you” Marigold muttered. 
    “Do you have securities in your house?” Jericho asked and Marigold batted her lashes. 
    “No….why??”
    “Which angle is your room at?” Jericho asked. 
    Marigold got down from the bed and rushed to the window,trying to explain where her room is exactly. 
    “Okay,got that” Jericho hung up. 
    “What’s going on?” She mumbled and left the window side,she started pacing,waiting for his call again but it never came,she was already on the bed when suddenly someone jumped into her room,through the window. 
    Marigold stood up at once,her eyes wide. 
    “Tiger?” She asked. 
    Jericho winked and closed the window back. 
    Marigold couldn’t close her mouth. 
    “How…..how did you….climb…just how?” She stuttered. 
    “It was quite hard,but not as hard as missing you all night,I won’t survive the night” Jericho said and walked over to her. 
    “You should have called me over to your…..” Jericho smashed his lips on hers,cutting her off. 
    He carried her and continue kissing her deeply. 
    “Hmm” Marigold smiled into the kiss,curling her legs around his waist. 
    They fell on the bed and the kiss became even more deeper. 
    Jericho started taking off her nightwear in the process,her hands also got busy under his shirt. 
    A finger already slides into Marigold’s p+$sy when suddenly they heard the door opening. 
    They both stopped at once and their eyes widened.

    <RESTROOM>
    Marigold dried her hands and gazed into the mirror, ensuring she looked flawless before exiting the restroom. As she stepped out, Sawyer was waiting for her, her eyes crinkling at the corners as she smiled.
    “Ready to get back to the party?” She asked and Marigold nodded. 
    “What you did to Catalina was out of jealousy right?” Sawyer asked and Marigold blinked,of course Sawyer is right but she can’t admit,what if her brother is around somewhere??
    “Don’t bother,let’s just go back” Sawyer said,offering her a hand. 
    Marigold took it, and they strolled together, the music and laughter growing louder as they approached the party hall. As they entered, Marigold’s eyes scanned the room, and her eyes fell on Alice. 
    Her supposed friend, was cozied up with Shawn and his friends, laughing and sipping drinks like they were old pals. 
    “Looks like Alice is getting along with Shawn now” Sawyer observed. 
    “Who’s he?” Marigold asked. 
    “Her crush” Sawyer grinned. 
    Marigold’s eyes flashed with shock but she said nothing, her gaze fixed on the group. Sawyer followed her stare, her expression unreadable.
    “You’re so pretty Alice” One of Shawn’s friends said,trying to shake hands with her. 
    “Stop it” Shawn snapped,pushing him off gently. 
    Alice’s smile faltered, and she excused herself, her eyes darting between Marigold and Sawyer.
    “Hey, guys! I was just… uh… catching up with Shawn and his friends,” Alice stammered, her voice laced with shyness. 
    “Hmmmmm” Sawyer and Marigold said at a time and they all laughed. 
    “He’s really nice,I didn’t imagine that” Alice smiled. 
    “You’re head over heels for him” Sawyer chuckled. 
    “Where’s Yuna by the way?” Alice asked. 
    Marigold already turned around to check on Jericho but he was nowhere in the party hall again. 
    Shawn excused himself from the group and made his way to the outdoor patio, where Jericho was puffing on a cigarette, lost in thought. The dim lighting and soft music created a tranquil atmosphere, a welcome respite from the vibrant party inside.
    “Hey, man, what’s on your mind?” Shawn asked, nodding towards the cigarette.
    Jericho exhaled a stream of smoke, his eyes squinting slightly. “Who are you?” He requested. 
    “Seriously? You don’t know who I am?” Shawn asked. 
    “Are you that important that I should know you?” Jericho looked at him,already looking so pissed from the crazy pride. 
    “Come on,it’s just a joke. I’m Shawn,basketball team leader” Shawn smiled,bringing out his hand for a shake. Jericho rolled his eyes and continue smoking without replying or taking his hand. 
    “Wow,are you a snob?” Shawn asked,pushing his hands into his pockets. 
    “I hate people disturbing my peace” Jericho muttered. 
    Meanwhile, back inside the party hall, Marigold’s friends had wandered off to dance and enjoy the music, leaving her alone once again. That’s when Richard reappeared by her side, a charming smile on his face.
    “Looks like your friends abandoned you again,” he said, playfully teasing her. “But I’m happy to keep your company always” He winked. 
    Marigold laughed”Thanks, Richie” She mumbled. 
    As they chatted and enjoyed the music together, Marigold couldn’t help but notice the contrast between Richard’s warm and caring demeanor and the mysterious, brooding nature of Jericho. 
    ‘They are so different’ she thought. 
    •••
    Franco slid into the empty chair beside Nadia, his presence making her fidget nervously. She clutched her drink tightly, taking quick sips as if seeking courage. Franco noticed her unease and asked, “Hey, what’s wrong? You seem a bit shaken.”
    Nadia’s eyes darted around the room, her voice barely above a whisper. “It’s just…nothing…I’m not a fan of parties you know” Nadia said. 
    “I noticed,I was surprised when I saw you also,but simce your sister forced you,I should thank her” Franco said and Nadia looked at him. 
    “Seriously? Thank her for what?” She questioned. 
    Franco smiled. “Blessing me to see this pretty damsel tonight” he flirted. 
    Nadia took her lips in,trying to suppress her smile but couldn’t help it. 
    “You don’t even know how long I’ve been trying to start a conversation with you” Franco said and Nadia was surprised. 
    “Really?” She asked. 
    Before Franco could respond, Reid appeared out of nowhere, his eyes blazing with jealousy. He shoved Franco’s chest, snarling, “Stay away from her, I warned you didn’t I”
    “Reid” Nadia stood up immediately. 
    “Nadia,is he your boyfriend?” Franco asked. 
    “He’s my friend” Nadia answered,Franco chuckled and gave Reid a glare. 
    All eyes already centered on them in the hall. 
    “Reid please,let go of him,let’s talk…..”
    “Why would you talk to him? To explain why I was with you? He’s not your f+cking boyfriend and should stop acting like one!” Franco snapped and Reid punched him at once. 
    “What’s your own business in that bastard!!” He yelled. 
    Jericho, who had been observing the scene unfold, swiftly intervened. His fist connected with Reid’s face, and the sound of the punch echoed through the room. 
    Everyone gasped out as Reid fell on the floor with blood all over his mouth. 
    “I warned you,don’t f+cking touch him” Jericho said in a calm but cold voice. 
    “Reid” Nadia rushed to him on the floor and Franco fold his fists. 
    “Let’s go dude” Jericho told Franco. 
    As they turned, Jricho’s gaze locked onto Marigold who was standing beside Richard, his eyes lingering for a moment before he walked away, leaving the stunned onlookers in his wake. The tension was palpable, and Nadia’s nervousness had escalated into outright fear.
    Yuna ran to the scene. 
    “Sisi,are you okay?” She asked Nadia and everyone started murmuring. 
    👥 What just happened? Is Nadia dating Reid?
    👥 Why would Reid punch Franco because he sat with Nadia?
    👥 I love the way Jerri fought for Franco,bromance
    •••
    “Are you okay?” Jericho asked Franco who was lost in thought. 
    “You think she likes him?” Franco faced him. 
    “What do you expect? They are always together,” Jericho groaned and Franco shook his head. 
    “I don’t want to believe that” He mumbled and Jericho gave him a look. 
    “Are you going to keep on getting hit because of her then?” Franco said nothing. 
    “Come and drive” Jericho said and got down from the driver’s side. 
    They exchanged positions and Franco drove off.

    <PHOTOSHOOT VENUE>
    A sleek and modern studio, was transformed into a vibrant wonderland as the night wore on. The air was electric with creativity, and the sound of cameras clicking and music pulsating filled the space. Melissa was thrilled to be shooting for the same magazine as her idol, albeit for a different section.
    Melissa’s photoshoot, focused on up-and-coming models,was a whirlwind of excitement. She posed with her pretty face and hot body,and her passion shining through in every frame. The photographer, a seasoned pro, coaxed out her best angles, and the stylist ensured she looked every bit beautiful. 
    Meanwhile, Holly’s shoot was a masterclass in glamour and sophistication. The celebrity singer, resplendent in a dazzling gown, sashayed and posed with effortless ease, her voice and presence commanding attention. The camera loved her, and she reciprocated with a radiant smile and sparkling eyes. The theme was “Elegance in Motion,” and Holly embodied it perfectly.
    Next was Melissa and Holly together and they did perfectly,without any mistakes. 
    As the shoots wrapped up, Melissa’s eyes widened with excitement as she spotted Holly walking towards her, a warm smile on her face. “Hey, darling! I heard it’s your first shoot for a magazine, How was your experience?”Holly asked. 
    Melissa’s heart skipped a beat as she gushed about the shoots. 
    “I had so much fun,I still can’t believe I’m here with you,I’m a fan” 
    Holly smiled. “Thanks for being a fan..” She wanted to say more but then Louisa approached,telling her it’s time to leave. 
    They both walked away. 
    👥 Bye Holly
    👥Thanks for your cooperation today Holly
    Holly waved at them and finally entered her car. 
    “How about our discussion?” She asked Louisa who entered with her. 
    “I already booked an appointment with Noir’s manager….”
    “I will talk to him myself,when is the appointment?” Holly asked. 
    “Tomorrow night” Louisa replied. 
    ••••••
    <10PM, SCOTTS’ MANSION>
    Richard pulled up to Marigold’s house, the soft glow of the porch light illuminating the quiet night.
     “Thanks, Richie.” Marigold faced him in the car. 
    Richard leaned in and hugged her,she got down after the hug and went inside. 
    As she stepped inside, Marigold’s mind raced with thoughts of Jericho. She quickly grabbed her phone as if to call him but then realized they’ve never exchanged contacts. 
    “Gosh” She groaned. 
    She checked on her parents,they were already asleep,probably Xavier might spend the night with Kelly since he haven’t gotten home yet. She got to her room and sat down on the bed,Kate came with Milky who jumped on her at once. 
    “Thanks for taking care of her Kate” Marigold smiled. 
    “It’s nothing” Kate smiled and went out again. 
    Marigold opened Instagram, searching for Jericho’s profile. But to her surprise, she couldn’t find him. She tried different spellings and variations, but he was nowhere to be found.
    Just as she was about to give up, her hand brushed against something metallic in her bag. She reached in and pulled out Jericho’s wristwatch,it’s the same bag she was with on that rainy day,probably he had put it inside her bag and forgot to take it back. She immediately kept it safe somewhere. 
    “I’m gonna give him on Monday” She muttered and started to undress. 
    ••••••
    <MONDAY, BK GROUP>
    The door opened and Cohen, Felix’s trusted secretary, knocked on the door of Felix’s office before entering. “Good morning, sir. I have some updates for you.”
    Felix, seated behind his desk, looked up from his papers. “What is it, Cohen?”
    “Firstly, the new contract is ready for your review. I’ve scheduled meetings with the relevant parties for this week,” Cohen reported efficiently.
    Felix nodded, his expression serious. “Good work, Cohen. Also, I’ll be leaving the office early today. I have a personal matter to attend to.”
    Cohen’s eyes narrowed slightly,”Shall I arrange for another car, sir?”
    “No, that won’t be necessary. But, Cohen, I have a special task for you,” Felix said, his voice low and deliberate. “I want you to find out where Jericho lives. I want to know if he’s up to something.”
    Cohen’s expression remained neutral, but he knew the animosity between Felix and Jericho was palpable. “Understood, sir. I’ll discreetly look into it.”
    Felix’s eyes gleamed with a hint of malice. “I want to be informed of any suspicious activities, Cohen. Jericho is too quiet these days, but I’ll be watching him closely.”
    Cohen nodded,”no problem sir”  he bowed. 
    “You can go” Felix ordered and Cohen walked out of the office. 
    ••••••
    <SAMANTHA KENDY’S MANSION>
    The grandeur of the Samantha Kendy Mansion enveloped Catalina as she stormed into the opulent living room, her frustration notable,She’s already dressed up for school. 
     “Mom, I’m so tired of this modeling career! I feel like I’m not getting anywhere, and it’s all so superficial!”
    Samantha, lounging on the plush sofa, looked up from her phone, concern etched on her face. “Aww, sweetie, I know it’s tough, but you’re doing great! And I promise, I’ll introduce you to some of my model friends soon. They can give you valuable advice and connections.”
    Catalina sighed, her shoulders slumping in defeat. “Thanks, Mom, but you’re never home to help me with anything. You’re always busy with going to different locations and all that”
    Samantha’s expression turned apologetic. “I know, baby, but I’m home today, and we can spend some quality time together. Let’s have a relaxing day, just us girls.”
    “I have classes today,but I don’t mind spending time with you” Catalina said. 
    “How about hanging out?” Samantha asked. 
    “Hang out where? You want your fans to flood over you? I’m not ready for that mom” Catalina scoffed. 
    “Don’t worry about that” 
    Just as Catalina nodded, Samantha’s phone rang. She answered, and her expression transformed from serene to surprised. “Oh, hi, Mark! I didn’t expect a call from you today…What??, I’ll be right there.”
    Catalina’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Mom, you’re leaving again? But you promised we’d spend the day together!”
    Samantha hastily stood up, apologetic. “I’m so sorry, sweetie, but this is an emergency. I’ll make it up to you, I promise”
    With a disappointed sigh, Catalina grabbed her bag and headed out the door angrily. 
    ••••••
    <OAK VALLEY, LIBRARY>
    Jericho paced back and forth in the library, his eyes scanning the tables and shelves with a growing sense of frustration. “Where is she?” he muttered to himself, his mind fixed on Marigold. He had expected to see her here, studying or researching,or drawing as usual but she was nowhere to be found.
    He sighed out loudly,wondering why he was actually expecting her. 
    After the long wait,Jericho stormed out of the library,and immediately spotted Marigold and Richard laughing together, and his eyes narrowed. He stood there for a minute,staring at them,the way Marigold spoke with him freely and the smiles are all the same with when she’s with him. 
    Jericho pushed his hands into his pocket and walked away. Melissa appeared out of nowhere, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Jericho, wait! I need to ask you something.”
    Before he could respond, she dragged him into an empty classroom, her voice barely above a whisper. “Did you see my photoshoots? I’ve been dying to know what you think!”
    Jericho’s gaze locked onto hers, his eyes burning with intensity. And then, without warning, he kissed her. Melissa’s eyes widened in surprise, but Jericho broke away just as quickly, his expression cold and detached.
    “Jericho….” 
    “Forget about it” He mumbled and walked out. He went straight to the lecture hall. 
    Immediately,four girls rushed over to him, their faces beaming. “Jericho, we’re so excited! We’re in the same group for the project!”
    Xavier, who was on his way out raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t that exactly what you like, Jericho? Being surrounded by adoring fans?” He smirked and went out. 
    Jericho’s gaze swept over the girls, his expression uninterested. “I don’t have time for this. Find someone else to work with,he said and put on his headphones. 
    ••••••
    <PROF ANNIE’S OFFICE>
    Xavier knocked on the door of Prof Annie’s office before entering. He was greeted by the sight of her wincing in pain, her finger bleeding from a small pinprick. Without hesitation, Xavier rushed to her side, his concern evident. “Prof Annie, let me help you!”
    “Oh thanks,first aid box over there” She pointed. 
    As Xavier carefully cleaned and bandaged her finger, a knock at the door interrupted them,they heard Dr Ruben’s voice and Xavier rolled his eyes. 
    “Can I tell him you’re busy?” Xavier offered, and Prof Annie nodded slowly. 
    Xavier opened the door to find Dr. Ruben standing in the hallway, a look of annoyance on his face. 
    “Why are you the one here?” Dr Ruben asked. 
    “She’s busy” Xavier said bluntly. 
    Dr. Ruben’s expression turned disapproving, but Xavier closed the door before he could say more. 
    “Why did you request for that?” Prof Annie asked after Xavier was done with her finger. 
    “I don’t like him” Xavier mumbled and she chuckled. 
    “You are so straight forward” She mumbled. 
    Xavier said nothing. 
    “How old are you?”
    “Twenty one” He looked up. 
    “Do you know mine?” 
    “No”
    “I’m Twenty seven” 
    “You look prettier and younger than your age,Miss” Xavier said,staring into her eyes. 
    “That’s not the point, Xavier.”
    “What is the point, then?” Xavier mumbled and Prof Annie couldn’t talk. 
    ••
    Marigold was walking with her friends when she saw Jericho,she immediately ran after him to give him his phone. 
    “Tiger!” She called. 
    Jericho looked at her coldly and she stopped in confusion,did she do anything wrong? Jericho walked away. 
    “What’s wrong?” Marigold mumbled sadly. 
    ••••••
    <7PM, JERICHO’S RESIDENCE>
    Marigold stood outside Jericho’s residence, her heart pounding in anticipation. She had come to confront him about his distant behavior and to return his watch, she had to lie at home that she’s hanging out with her friends. 
    As the door opened for her,Jericho’s expression was icy, his eyes narrowed. 
     Marigold’s confidence began to waver, but she pressed on, her voice firm. “Tiger,is….something wrong?” She entered with him. 
    For a moment, he said nothing, his silence deafening. Then, his voice cut through the tension like a knife. 
    “Nothing,why are you here?” 
    Marigold dropped his wristwatch on the table snd faced him again with a smile. 
    “Let’s have dinner together,how about chicken?” She grinned. 
    Jericho scoffed. 
    “Stop acting this way when you’re around me like you don’t do it with everyone else” He said. 
    “Huh?” 
    “Those smiles of yours…..are nothing special,smiling at everyone that way is not special” Jericho rolled his eyes and made to leave. 
    “Tiger” Marigold blocked him. 
    “Tell me what happened exactly,I don’t………”
    “Why are you always with him? Do you like him that much?” 
    “Who?”
    “Richard……I hate seeing you two together” Jericho voiced out and Marigold blinked rapidly in disbelief.

    Marigold took it, and they strolled together, the music and laughter growing louder as they approached the party hall. As they entered, Marigold’s eyes scanned the room, and her eyes fell on Alice. 
    Her supposed friend, was cozied up with Shawn and his friends, laughing and sipping drinks like they were old pals. 
    “Looks like Alice is getting along with Shawn now” Sawyer observed. 
    “Who’s he?” Marigold asked. 
    “Her crush” Sawyer grinned. 
    Marigold’s eyes flashed with shock but she said nothing, her gaze fixed on the group. Sawyer followed her stare, her expression unreadable.
    “You’re so pretty Alice” One of Shawn’s friends said,trying to shake hands with her. 
    “Stop it” Shawn snapped,pushing him off gently. 
    Alice’s smile faltered, and she excused herself, her eyes darting between Marigold and Sawyer.
    “Hey, guys! I was just… uh… catching up with Shawn and his friends,” Alice stammered, her voice laced with shyness. 
    “Hmmmmm” Sawyer and Marigold said at a time and they all laughed. 
    “He’s really nice,I didn’t imagine that” Alice smiled. 
    “You’re head over heels for him” Sawyer chuckled. 
    “Where’s Yuna by the way?” Alice asked. 
    Marigold already turned around to check on Jericho but he was nowhere in the party hall again. 
    Shawn excused himself from the group and made his way to the outdoor patio, where Jericho was puffing on a cigarette, lost in thought. The dim lighting and soft music created a tranquil atmosphere, a welcome respite from the vibrant party inside.
    “Hey, man, what’s on your mind?” Shawn asked, nodding towards the cigarette.
    Jericho exhaled a stream of smoke, his eyes squinting slightly. “Who are you?” He requested. 
    “Seriously? You don’t know who I am?” Shawn asked. 
    “Are you that important that I should know you?” Jericho looked at him,already looking so pissed from the crazy pride. 
    “Come on,it’s just a joke. I’m Shawn,basketball team leader” Shawn smiled,bringing out his hand for a shake. Jericho rolled his eyes and continue smoking without replying or taking his hand. 
    “Wow,are you a snob?” Shawn asked,pushing his hands into his pockets. 
    “I hate people disturbing my peace” Jericho muttered. 
    Meanwhile, back inside the party hall, Marigold’s friends had wandered off to dance and enjoy the music, leaving her alone once again. That’s when Richard reappeared by her side, a charming smile on his face.
    “Looks like your friends abandoned you again,” he said, playfully teasing her. “But I’m happy to keep your company always” He winked. 
    Marigold laughed”Thanks, Richie” She mumbled. 
    As they chatted and enjoyed the music together, Marigold couldn’t help but notice the contrast between Richard’s warm and caring demeanor and the mysterious, brooding nature of Jericho. 
    ‘They are so different’ she thought.

    Franco slid into the empty chair beside Nadia, his presence making her fidget nervously. She clutched her drink tightly, taking quick sips as if seeking courage. Franco noticed her unease and asked, “Hey, what’s wrong? You seem a bit shaken.”
    Nadia’s eyes darted around the room, her voice barely above a whisper. “It’s just…nothing…I’m not a fan of parties you know” Nadia said. 
    “I noticed,I was surprised when I saw you also,but simce your sister forced you,I should thank her” Franco said and Nadia looked at him. 
    “Seriously? Thank her for what?” She questioned. 
    Franco smiled. “Blessing me to see this pretty damsel tonight” he flirted. 
    Nadia took her lips in,trying to suppress her smile but couldn’t help it. 
    “You don’t even know how long I’ve been trying to start a conversation with you” Franco said and Nadia was surprised. 
    “Really?” She asked. 
    Before Franco could respond, Reid appeared out of nowhere, his eyes blazing with jealousy. He shoved Franco’s chest, snarling, “Stay away from her, I warned you didn’t I”
    “Reid” Nadia stood up immediately. 
    “Nadia,is he your boyfriend?” Franco asked. 
    “He’s my friend” Nadia answered,Franco chuckled and gave Reid a glare. 
    All eyes already centered on them in the hall. 
    “Reid please,let go of him,let’s talk…..”
    “Why would you talk to him? To explain why I was with you? He’s not your f+cking boyfriend and should stop acting like one!” Franco snapped and Reid punched him at once. 
    “What’s your own business in that bastard!!” He yelled. 
    Jericho, who had been observing the scene unfold, swiftly intervened. His fist connected with Reid’s face, and the sound of the punch echoed through the room. 
    Everyone gasped out as Reid fell on the floor with blood all over his mouth. 
    “I warned you,don’t f+cking touch him” Jericho said in a calm but cold voice. 
    “Reid” Nadia rushed to him on the floor and Franco fold his fists. 
    “Let’s go dude” Jericho told Franco. 
    As they turned, Jricho’s gaze locked onto Marigold who was standing beside Richard, his eyes lingering for a moment before he walked away, leaving the stunned onlookers in his wake. The tension was palpable, and Nadia’s nervousness had escalated into outright fear.
    Yuna ran to the scene. 
    “Sisi,are you okay?” She asked Nadia and everyone started murmuring. 
    👥 What just happened? Is Nadia dating Reid?
    👥 Why would Reid punch Franco because he sat with Nadia?
    👥 I love the way Jerri fought for Franco,bromance
    •••
    “Are you okay?” Jericho asked Franco who was lost in thought. 
    “You think she likes him?” Franco faced him. 
    “What do you expect? They are always together,” Jericho groaned and Franco shook his head. 
    “I don’t want to believe that” He mumbled and Jericho gave him a look. 
    “Are you going to keep on getting hit because of her then?” Franco said nothing. 
    “Come and drive” Jericho said and got down from the driver’s side. 
    They exchanged positions and Franco drove off.

    <PHOTOSHOOT VENUE>
    A sleek and modern studio, was transformed into a vibrant wonderland as the night wore on. The air was electric with creativity, and the sound of cameras clicking and music pulsating filled the space. Melissa was thrilled to be shooting for the same magazine as her idol, albeit for a different section.
    Melissa’s photoshoot, focused on up-and-coming models,was a whirlwind of excitement. She posed with her pretty face and hot body,and her passion shining through in every frame. The photographer, a seasoned pro, coaxed out her best angles, and the stylist ensured she looked every bit beautiful. 
    Meanwhile, Holly’s shoot was a masterclass in glamour and sophistication. The celebrity singer, resplendent in a dazzling gown, sashayed and posed with effortless ease, her voice and presence commanding attention. The camera loved her, and she reciprocated with a radiant smile and sparkling eyes. The theme was “Elegance in Motion,” and Holly embodied it perfectly.
    Next was Melissa and Holly together and they did perfectly,without any mistakes. 
    As the shoots wrapped up, Melissa’s eyes widened with excitement as she spotted Holly walking towards her, a warm smile on her face. “Hey, darling! I heard it’s your first shoot for a magazine, How was your experience?”Holly asked. 
    Melissa’s heart skipped a beat as she gushed about the shoots. 
    “I had so much fun,I still can’t believe I’m here with you,I’m a fan” 
    Holly smiled. “Thanks for being a fan..” She wanted to say more but then Louisa approached,telling her it’s time to leave. 
    They both walked away. 
    👥 Bye Holly
    👥Thanks for your cooperation today Holly
    Holly waved at them and finally entered her car. 
    “How about our discussion?” She asked Louisa who entered with her. 
    “I already booked an appointment with Noir’s manager….”
    “I will talk to him myself,when is the appointment?” Holly asked. 
    “Tomorrow night” Louisa replied.

    <10PM, SCOTTS’ MANSION>
    Richard pulled up to Marigold’s house, the soft glow of the porch light illuminating the quiet night.
     “Thanks, Richie.” Marigold faced him in the car. 
    Richard leaned in and hugged her,she got down after the hug and went inside. 
    As she stepped inside, Marigold’s mind raced with thoughts of Jericho. She quickly grabbed her phone as if to call him but then realized they’ve never exchanged contacts. 
    “Gosh” She groaned. 
    She checked on her parents,they were already asleep,probably Xavier might spend the night with Kelly since he haven’t gotten home yet. She got to her room and sat down on the bed,Kate came with Milky who jumped on her at once. 
    “Thanks for taking care of her Kate” Marigold smiled. 
    “It’s nothing” Kate smiled and went out again. 
    Marigold opened Instagram, searching for Jericho’s profile. But to her surprise, she couldn’t find him. She tried different spellings and variations, but he was nowhere to be found.
    Just as she was about to give up, her hand brushed against something metallic in her bag. She reached in and pulled out Jericho’s wristwatch,it’s the same bag she was with on that rainy day,probably he had put it inside her bag and forgot to take it back. She immediately kept it safe somewhere. 
    “I’m gonna give him on Monday” She muttered and started to undress.

    <MONDAY, BK GROUP>
    The door opened and Cohen, Felix’s trusted secretary, knocked on the door of Felix’s office before entering. “Good morning, sir. I have some updates for you.”
    Felix, seated behind his desk, looked up from his papers. “What is it, Cohen?”
    “Firstly, the new contract is ready for your review. I’ve scheduled meetings with the relevant parties for this week,” Cohen reported efficiently.
    Felix nodded, his expression serious. “Good work, Cohen. Also, I’ll be leaving the office early today. I have a personal matter to attend to.”
    Cohen’s eyes narrowed slightly,”Shall I arrange for another car, sir?”
    “No, that won’t be necessary. But, Cohen, I have a special task for you,” Felix said, his voice low and deliberate. “I want you to find out where Jericho lives. I want to know if he’s up to something.”
    Cohen’s expression remained neutral, but he knew the animosity between Felix and Jericho was palpable. “Understood, sir. I’ll discreetly look into it.”
    Felix’s eyes gleamed with a hint of malice. “I want to be informed of any suspicious activities, Cohen. Jericho is too quiet these days, but I’ll be watching him closely.”
    Cohen nodded,”no problem sir”  he bowed. 
    “You can go” Felix ordered and Cohen walked out of the office.

    <SAMANTHA KENDY’S MANSION>
    The grandeur of the Samantha Kendy Mansion enveloped Catalina as she stormed into the opulent living room, her frustration notable,She’s already dressed up for school. 
     “Mom, I’m so tired of this modeling career! I feel like I’m not getting anywhere, and it’s all so superficial!”
    Samantha, lounging on the plush sofa, looked up from her phone, concern etched on her face. “Aww, sweetie, I know it’s tough, but you’re doing great! And I promise, I’ll introduce you to some of my model friends soon. They can give you valuable advice and connections.”
    Catalina sighed, her shoulders slumping in defeat. “Thanks, Mom, but you’re never home to help me with anything. You’re always busy with going to different locations and all that”
    Samantha’s expression turned apologetic. “I know, baby, but I’m home today, and we can spend some quality time together. Let’s have a relaxing day, just us girls.”
    “I have classes today,but I don’t mind spending time with you” Catalina said. 
    “How about hanging out?” Samantha asked. 
    “Hang out where? You want your fans to flood over you? I’m not ready for that mom” Catalina scoffed. 
    “Don’t worry about that” 
    Just as Catalina nodded, Samantha’s phone rang. She answered, and her expression transformed from serene to surprised. “Oh, hi, Mark! I didn’t expect a call from you today…What??, I’ll be right there.”
    Catalina’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Mom, you’re leaving again? But you promised we’d spend the day together!”
    Samantha hastily stood up, apologetic. “I’m so sorry, sweetie, but this is an emergency. I’ll make it up to you, I promise”
    With a disappointed sigh, Catalina grabbed her bag and headed out the door angrily.

    <OAK VALLEY, LIBRARY>
    Jericho paced back and forth in the library, his eyes scanning the tables and shelves with a growing sense of frustration. “Where is she?” he muttered to himself, his mind fixed on Marigold. He had expected to see her here, studying or researching,or drawing as usual but she was nowhere to be found.
    He sighed out loudly,wondering why he was actually expecting her. 
    After the long wait,Jericho stormed out of the library,and immediately spotted Marigold and Richard laughing together, and his eyes narrowed. He stood there for a minute,staring at them,the way Marigold spoke with him freely and the smiles are all the same with when she’s with him. 
    Jericho pushed his hands into his pocket and walked away. Melissa appeared out of nowhere, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Jericho, wait! I need to ask you something.”
    Before he could respond, she dragged him into an empty classroom, her voice barely above a whisper. “Did you see my photoshoots? I’ve been dying to know what you think!”
    Jericho’s gaze locked onto hers, his eyes burning with intensity. And then, without warning, he kissed her. Melissa’s eyes widened in surprise, but Jericho broke away just as quickly, his expression cold and detached.
    “Jericho….” 
    “Forget about it” He mumbled and walked out. He went straight to the lecture hall. 
    Immediately,four girls rushed over to him, their faces beaming. “Jericho, we’re so excited! We’re in the same group for the project!”
    Xavier, who was on his way out raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t that exactly what you like, Jericho? Being surrounded by adoring fans?” He smirked and went out. 
    Jericho’s gaze swept over the girls, his expression uninterested. “I don’t have time for this. Find someone else to work with,he said and put on his headphones.

    <PROF ANNIE’S OFFICE>
    Xavier knocked on the door of Prof Annie’s office before entering. He was greeted by the sight of her wincing in pain, her finger bleeding from a small pinprick. Without hesitation, Xavier rushed to her side, his concern evident. “Prof Annie, let me help you!”
    “Oh thanks,first aid box over there” She pointed. 
    As Xavier carefully cleaned and bandaged her finger, a knock at the door interrupted them,they heard Dr Ruben’s voice and Xavier rolled his eyes. 
    “Can I tell him you’re busy?” Xavier offered, and Prof Annie nodded slowly. 
    Xavier opened the door to find Dr. Ruben standing in the hallway, a look of annoyance on his face. 
    “Why are you the one here?” Dr Ruben asked. 
    “She’s busy” Xavier said bluntly. 
    Dr. Ruben’s expression turned disapproving, but Xavier closed the door before he could say more. 
    “Why did you request for that?” Prof Annie asked after Xavier was done with her finger. 
    “I don’t like him” Xavier mumbled and she chuckled. 
    “You are so straight forward” She mumbled. 
    Xavier said nothing. 
    “How old are you?”
    “Twenty one” He looked up. 
    “Do you know mine?” 
    “No”
    “I’m Twenty seven” 
    “You look prettier and younger than your age,Miss” Xavier said,staring into her eyes. 
    “That’s not the point, Xavier.”
    “What is the point, then?” Xavier mumbled and Prof Annie couldn’t talk. 
    ••
    Marigold was walking with her friends when she saw Jericho,she immediately ran after him to give him his phone. 
    “Tiger!” She called. 
    Jericho looked at her coldly and she stopped in confusion,did she do anything wrong? Jericho walked away. 
    “What’s wrong?” Marigold mumbled sadly. 
    ••••••
    <7PM, JERICHO’S RESIDENCE>
    Marigold stood outside Jericho’s residence, her heart pounding in anticipation. She had come to confront him about his distant behavior and to return his watch, she had to lie at home that she’s hanging out with her friends. 
    As the door opened for her,Jericho’s expression was icy, his eyes narrowed. 
     Marigold’s confidence began to waver, but she pressed on, her voice firm. “Tiger,is….something wrong?” She entered with him. 
    For a moment, he said nothing, his silence deafening. Then, his voice cut through the tension like a knife. 
    “Nothing,why are you here?” 
    Marigold dropped his wristwatch on the table snd faced him again with a smile. 
    “Let’s have dinner together,how about chicken?” She grinned. 
    Jericho scoffed. 
    “Stop acting this way when you’re around me like you don’t do it with everyone else” He said. 
    “Huh?” 
    “Those smiles of yours…..are nothing special,smiling at everyone that way is not special” Jericho rolled his eyes and made to leave. 
    “Tiger” Marigold blocked him. 
    “Tell me what happened exactly,I don’t………”
    “Why are you always with him? Do you like him that much?” 
    “Who?”
    “Richard……I hate seeing you two together” Jericho voiced out and Marigold blinked rapidly in disbelief.

    Marigold dried her hands and gazed into the mirror, ensuring she looked flawless before exiting the restroom. As she stepped out, Sawyer was waiting for her, her eyes crinkling at the corners as she smiled.
    “Ready to get back to the party?” She asked and Marigold nodded.

    Felix’s eyes gleamed with a hint of malice. “I want to be informed of any suspicious activities, Cohen. Jericho is too quiet these days, but I’ll be watching him closely.”
    Cohen nodded,”no problem sir”  he bowed. 
    “You can go” Felix ordered and Cohen walked out of the office.

    <SAMANTHA KENDY’S MANSION>
    The grandeur of the Samantha Kendy Mansion enveloped Catalina as she stormed into the opulent living room, her frustration notable,She’s already dressed up for school. 
     “Mom, I’m so tired of this modeling career! I feel like I’m not getting anywhere, and it’s all so superficial!”
    Samantha, lounging on the plush sofa, looked up from her phone, concern etched on her face. “Aww, sweetie, I know it’s tough, but you’re doing great! And I promise, I’ll introduce you to some of my model friends soon. They can give you valuable advice and connections.”
    Catalina sighed, her shoulders slumping in defeat. “Thanks, Mom, but you’re never home to help me with anything. You’re always busy with going to different locations and all that”
    Samantha’s expression turned apologetic. “I know, baby, but I’m home today, and we can spend some quality time together. Let’s have a relaxing day, just us girls.”
    “I have classes today,but I don’t mind spending time with you” Catalina said. 
    “How about hanging out?” Samantha asked. 
    “Hang out where? You want your fans to flood over you? I’m not ready for that mom” Catalina scoffed. 
    “Don’t worry about that” 
    Just as Catalina nodded, Samantha’s phone rang. She answered, and her expression transformed from serene to surprised. “Oh, hi, Mark! I didn’t expect a call from you today…What??, I’ll be right there.”
    Catalina’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Mom, you’re leaving again? But you promised we’d spend the day together!”
    Samantha hastily stood up, apologetic. “I’m so sorry, sweetie, but this is an emergency. I’ll make it up to you, I promise”
    With a disappointed sigh, Catalina grabbed her bag and headed out the door angrily.

    <OAK VALLEY, LIBRARY>
    Jericho paced back and forth in the library, his eyes scanning the tables and shelves with a growing sense of frustration. “Where is she?” he muttered to himself, his mind fixed on Marigold. He had expected to see her here, studying or researching,or drawing as usual but she was nowhere to be found.
    He sighed out loudly,wondering why he was actually expecting her. 
    After the long wait,Jericho stormed out of the library,and immediately spotted Marigold and Richard laughing together, and his eyes narrowed. He stood there for a minute,staring at them,the way Marigold spoke with him freely and the smiles are all the same with when she’s with him. 
    Jericho pushed his hands into his pocket and walked away. Melissa appeared out of nowhere, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Jericho, wait! I need to ask you something.”
    Before he could respond, she dragged him into an empty classroom, her voice barely above a whisper. “Did you see my photoshoots? I’ve been dying to know what you think!”
    Jericho’s gaze locked onto hers, his eyes burning with intensity. And then, without warning, he kissed her. Melissa’s eyes widened in surprise, but Jericho broke away just as quickly, his expression cold and detached.
    “Jericho….” 
    “Forget about it” He mumbled and walked out. He went straight to the lecture hall. 
    Immediately,four girls rushed over to him, their faces beaming. “Jericho, we’re so excited! We’re in the same group for the project!”
    Xavier, who was on his way out raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t that exactly what you like, Jericho? Being surrounded by adoring fans?” He smirked and went out. 
    Jericho’s gaze swept over the girls, his expression uninterested. “I don’t have time for this. Find someone else to work with,he said and put on his headphones.

    <PROF ANNIE’S OFFICE>
    Xavier knocked on the door of Prof Annie’s office before entering. He was greeted by the sight of her wincing in pain, her finger bleeding from a small pinprick. Without hesitation, Xavier rushed to her side, his concern evident. “Prof Annie, let me help you!”
    “Oh thanks,first aid box over there” She pointed. 
    As Xavier carefully cleaned and bandaged her finger, a knock at the door interrupted them,they heard Dr Ruben’s voice and Xavier rolled his eyes. 
    “Can I tell him you’re busy?” Xavier offered, and Prof Annie nodded slowly. 
    Xavier opened the door to find Dr. Ruben standing in the hallway, a look of annoyance on his face. 
    “Why are you the one here?” Dr Ruben asked. 
    “She’s busy” Xavier said bluntly. 
    Dr. Ruben’s expression turned disapproving, but Xavier closed the door before he could say more. 
    “Why did you request for that?” Prof Annie asked after Xavier was done with her finger. 
    “I don’t like him” Xavier mumbled and she chuckled. 
    “You are so straight forward” She mumbled. 
    Xavier said nothing. 
    “How old are you?”
    “Twenty one” He looked up. 
    “Do you know mine?” 
    “No”
    “I’m Twenty seven” 
    “You look prettier and younger than your age,Miss” Xavier said,staring into her eyes. 
    “That’s not the point, Xavier.”
    “What is the point, then?” Xavier mumbled and Prof Annie couldn’t talk. 
    ••
    Marigold was walking with her friends when she saw Jericho,she immediately ran after him to give him his phone. 
    “Tiger!” She called. 
    Jericho looked at her coldly and she stopped in confusion,did she do anything wrong? Jericho walked away. 
    “What’s wrong?” Marigold mumbled sadly. 
    ••••••
    <7PM, JERICHO’S RESIDENCE>
    Marigold stood outside Jericho’s residence, her heart pounding in anticipation. She had come to confront him about his distant behavior and to return his watch, she had to lie at home that she’s hanging out with her friends. 
    As the door opened for her,Jericho’s expression was icy, his eyes narrowed. 
     Marigold’s confidence began to waver, but she pressed on, her voice firm. “Tiger,is….something wrong?” She entered with him. 
    For a moment, he said nothing, his silence deafening. Then, his voice cut through the tension like a knife. 
    “Nothing,why are you here?” 
    Marigold dropped his wristwatch on the table snd faced him again with a smile. 
    “Let’s have dinner together,how about chicken?” She grinned. 
    Jericho scoffed. 
    “Stop acting this way when you’re around me like you don’t do it with everyone else” He said. 
    “Huh?” 
    “Those smiles of yours…..are nothing special,smiling at everyone that way is not special” Jericho rolled his eyes and made to leave. 
    “Tiger” Marigold blocked him. 
    “Tell me what happened exactly,I don’t………”
    “Why are you always with him? Do you like him that much?” 
    “Who?”
    “Richard……I hate seeing you two together” Jericho voiced out and Marigold blinked rapidly in disbelief.

    I’m Your Doom – Episode 23&24

    Theme:{I Would Rather Die…}

    ★★★★★★★★★★★★
    HOURS LATER*
    Marigold opened her eyes and found herself in a strange room,she sat up slowly and immediately checked the time,it’s midnight already. 
    “Damn” she mumbled and looked around. 
    “Is this….Jericho’s place?” She uttered and walked toward the door. She went out of the room,she was going downstairs before but suddenly heard a sound coming from the other angle which she immediately followed. 
    She got to somewhere like an open Balcony and there she saw Jericho’s back,he was standing there,the smoke from his weed moving in zigzag direction intp the air. 
    A smile escaped her lips forgetting that she was supposed to be home at the moment. 
    “Tiger” She called and Jericho turned. 
    “You’re awake” He muttered and she walked closer. 
    “You brought me to your house?” She grinned. 
    “Is there a problem with that…..”
    “You said you don’t like taking girls to your house,does that mean I’m the first?” She asked. 
    Jericho cleared his throat and looked away. 
    “Come on,tell me….I’m the first right?” Marigold grabbed his arm. 
    “It’s just…..payments for stealing your first kiss” Jericho muttered and Marigold pouted. 
    “I see” She took her lips in. 
    “Should I take you home?” Jericho asked. 
    “No,I will just take whatever punishment comes tomorrow” She sighed,leaning on the stair rail. 
    “I love this place,I can see the city lights” She said. 
    Jericho just smokes without saying anything,she looked up at him.
    “Do you smoke like this everytime?” 
    “Yeah” Jericho replied and she took her lips in. 
    “Why aren’t you sleeping? It’s quite late” she asked. 
    “It’s not a choice” Jericho replied. 
    “Huh? Do you have insomnia?” 
    “Something like that” Jericho puffed out a thick smoke and Marigold coughed. 
    He looked at her and she immediately tried to control her cough. 
    “Its not because of your smoke,it’s the cold” Marigold said and then coughed again. 
    Jericho crushed the weed and dropped it into the ashtray. 
    “You should go back to sleep,you passed out earlier….do you have cold?” He asked. 
    “Oh……yeah” Marigold mumbled. 
    “Then why did you entered the rain with me? Why do you care so much…..”
    “Don’t try to push me away again” She cut in and Jericho sighed. 
    “I don’t want to have a problem with your brother” 
    “Are you scared of him?”
    “You won’t like it if I fight him,trust me you will hate me” Jericho said and Marigold sighed. 
    “He won’t find out,I won’t let him find out,so stop pushing me away” She mumbled.  
    “How did you find me there? The cemetery?” Jericho looked at her. 
    “I was passing and I saw your bike,then I went in” 
    “All those words you said to me…” Jericho paused. 
    Marigold blinked,curiously waiting for him to continue. 
    “That….you won’t stay away…and that you love psychopaths….do you always say that nonchalantly to everyone to make them feel better?” Jericho asked. 
    “No,I’ve never done that before” Marigold shook her head and Jericho looked at her. 
    “So you meant them?”
    She nodded. 
    “Don’t say that again,I’m not that good of a person either” Jericho mumbled and looked away. 
    “You’re a nice person…to me” Marigold said. 
    “All those words you said to me in the garden….you even pulled my clothes…..you didn’t meant them right?” She asked,looking into his eyes. 
    “That’s why you still came to me,what if I mean everything?” Jericho looked at her. 
    “I will still understand” Marigold smiled. 
    “Well now at least I know you were just trying to make me stay away” She said. 
    “Where’s your dad?” Marigold suddenly asked. 
    “I don’t want to talk about him” Jericho replied and she bite her lips. 
    “Sorry” 
    There was silence after that. 
    “Let’s listen to some music” She said and shoved her hand into her pocket,she brought out her phone and earpiece. 
    “How come my phone is not wet tho?” She mumbled. 
    “I removed them of course,I just put them back when we got here” Jericho said and she smiled. 
    She connected it and gave him one ear. 
    “It’s an artist I started loving recently,but he sings alot of sad songs” Marigold mumbled. 
    “I love this one…title is …Voices” Marigold said and Jericho used the earpiece,she used the second one and played the slow music. 
    🎵🎵🎵
    I hear the voices, they never cease
    Whispers in the darkness, a constant release
    A cacophony of chaos, a never-ending fight
    But I search for silence, a peaceful night
    Oh, my mind is a battlefield, a war I can’t win
    But I long for peace, a quiet place to begin
    Free from the voices, the noise and the pain
    Just a moment’s silence, a chance to breathe again
    Marigold sang the outro out
    🎵🎵🎵🎵
    So I’ll keep on searching, for that peaceful place
    Where the voices fade, and I can rest my face
    And maybe someday, I’ll find my way to peace
    And the voices in my head, will finally release.
    “Your voice is pretty” Jericho said and she blushed. 
    “Thanks,the song is sad right?” She asked. 
    “I’m not a fan of music” Jericho mumbled. 
    “Come on,music is life,so why do you always walk with your headphones?” She asked. 
    “Just to prevent myself from hearing annoying students voices” Jericho replied and she chuckled. 
    Her tummy suddenly made a loud noise. 
    “That’s not mine,,it’s probably….gosh” She bite her lips. 
    “I have ramen in the kitchen,you can make them for yourself” Jericho said. 
    “Really? Should we do that together?” She asked. 
    “No” 
    Marigold pouted. 
    “You will take me to the kitchen at least” She said and Jericho led the way,she smiled and followed. 
    *
    NEXT MORNING, SCOTTS MANSION*
    Marigold opened the door and entered the house,she met her mom in the living room looking angry,Xavier was there too,Milky roaming around.  Mrs Scott stood up the moment she saw Marigold. 
    “Morning……..” Before Marigold could finish,a loud slap landed on her face and she immediately placed her palm there. 
    “Where are you coming from?! You left last night and refused to answer anybody’s calls!! How dare you!!” Mrs Scott yelled angrily. 
    Marigold bite her lips. 
    “Get out of my sight” 
    Marigold’s tears fell and she immediately ran upstairs and Milky ran after her,she entered her room and broke into tears.
    The door opened and Xavier entered,he closed the door and Marigold wiped her tears. 
    “Where are you coming from?” He asked. 
    “My friends place” Marigold muttered. 
    “Are you serious right now? Is that the reason why you couldn’t call or even answer anyone’s calls?” Xavier asked. 
    “That’s because I slept off too early,I just saw the missed calls this morning” Marigold replied. 
    “I hope you’re not lying,you know how mom can be,we were awake all night worried about you,she even cried,you can’t just act senseless anytime you want. You don’t even know anywhere here,you need to use your brain well and stop being silly thinking you’re old enough to do whatever you want,it’s becoming annoying” Xavier said. 
    “I thought you’re here to console me” Marigold pouted. 
    “Why should I do that? You made everyone worried all night” 
    Marigold hugged him. 
    “I’m sorry” She muttered. 
    “Go tell mom that,not me” Xavier said. 
    Marigold broke the hug and checked out the cut on his lip. 
    “It’s totally gone” She said. 
    Xavier scoffed and she chuckled. 
    “Wash up and go apologize to mom if you want peace today,you know her” Xavier saud and Marigold nodded. 
    Xavier went out and Marigold sighed out loudly before falling on the bed. She touched her cheek and her mind went to Jericho. Her phone buzzed and she took it at once,a text from Yuna. 
    YUNA BABY: I’m coming over soft bread,we are getting ready for the party remember? 
    Marigold smiled and replied. 
    MARIGOLD: Come over fast,I’m bored. 
    She dropped her phone and went into the bathroom. 
    *
    JERICHO’S RESIDENCE*
    Jericho opened the door and Franco came in. 
    “When will you stop ignoring my calls?” 
    “I’m sorry” Jericho mumbled. 
    “That was fast,is something wrong?” Franco asoed. 
    “Did you bring food? I can smell it” 
    “Yeah,mom sent me” Franco said and Jericho smiled. 
    *
    7PM, PARTY VENUE* 
    The dimly lit hall pulsed with energy, the air thick with the hum of music and laughter. The party was in full swing, with bodies swaying to the beat and drinks flowing like water. The walls were adorned with colorful streamers and balloons,
    In the center of the room, group of students danced with abandon, their arms raised and their voices hoarse from singing along to the music. The DJ spun a hypnotic mix of tracks, each one more infectious than the last. The crowd was a sea of movement, with students of all levels  united in their quest for a good time.
    To one side, a cluster of revelers huddled around a makeshift bar, eagerly awaiting their turn to take a shot or grab a refill. The bartenders, charismatic figures with a quick wit and a quicker pour, kept the drinks flowing and the jokes coming.
     Nearby, a group of newcomers hovered at the edge of the party, looking a little lost but eager to join in on the fun.
    As the night wore on, the music grew louder and the dancing more frenzied. The room was a whirlwind of color and sound, with confetti and glitter to the excitement,even though the full party and enjoyment was yet to begin in full. 
    Xavier and Kelly walked into the hall together and screams filled the air at once. 
    👥 Xavier!!!!
    👥 He’s so hot!
    👥 I love you Xavier.
    “Gosh its even hard walking with you these days” Kelly scoffed. 
    “We can exchange bodies,not like I care about their @$ses” Xavier scoffed and Kelly chuckled. 
    They took the glasses of wine offered to them by the bartenders walking around. 
    Richard already arrived some minutes ago,he was in a corner,trying too hard to escaped from the girls flirting with him. 
    Soon,more screams filled the air,it was the moment Jericho walked in with Franco,both killing the bad boy vibes,making girls go crazy. 
    👥 Jericho is not human,gosh!
    👥 Franco!!
    👥 They are so hot I’m in tears
    Jericho kept a cold face till he got to somewhere comfortable to sit,after getting a drink,he crossed his legs and just sat down looking handsome effortlessly. Franco also went his own way,he love associating with people anyway,he found his course mates who dragged him to join them. 
    “No,don’t” Jericho said to the girls who came over to him. 
    “I will make you see good” 
    “He said you should get lost” Catalina appeared,walking toward them like a queen. They immediately walked away. She smiled at Jericho and sat down beside him. 
    “I thought you weren’t coming” She said. 
    Jericho said nothing and brought out a ball-like lighter. 
    “Let me help” She took it from him and opened it,revealing the blue flame. She light up his weed for him and he started smoking. 
    “Are you okay with that? Or do you want a quickie? The bathroom” She whispered. 
    Jericho smiled and looked at her. 
    Catalina winked. 
    They suddenly started hearing murmurs and all eyes turned.
    As the doors swung open, a vision in red stepped into the party, commanding the attention of every pair of eyes in the room. Marigold just arrived with her friends,she sashayed into the fray, her confident stride and sultry smile leaving a trail of mesmerized onlookers in her wake.
    Her outfit was a masterclass in sophistication and seduction – a sleek, floor-length red gown that hugged her curves in all the right places. The dress was a deep, rich shade that seemed to glow in the dim light of the party, showcasing her sun-kissed skin and raven hair to perfection. A daring thigh-high slit revealed a tantalizing glimpse of her toned legs, while a plunging neckline drew eyes to her décolletage.
    But it wasn’t just the dress that made her entrance iconic – it was the way she wore it. Marigold exuded a sense of self-assuredness and poise, her shoulders back and her head held high as she scanned the room with a piercing gaze. Her lips were painted a deep red, matching the dress perfectly, and her eyes sparkled like diamonds in the light.
    As she made her way through the crowd, the music seemed to fade into the background, and the only sound was the collective gasp of admiration and the soft rustle of her dress as she moved. It was as if time itself had slowed down, allowing everyone to fully absorb the magnitude of her entrance.
    All the girls were looking so hot but Marigold hotter,all eyes were on her. 
    Jericho wasn’t excluded,even though his face were still calm as usual,it didn’t hide the fact that he was staring,Catalina was dying with anger right beside him as she glared at Marigold with total hatred. 
    Jericho’s eyes met with Xavier’s own and Xavier shot him a warning glare. 
    The girls separated at once,Richard walked over to Marigold with mesmerized smile on his face. 
    “Hey” 
    “Hi” Marigold smiled as he took her hand. 
    “You look…..hot” He muttered. 
    “Thanks” Marigold replied. 
    The bartenders came to hand over a glass of wine to her and she took it. 
    “I thought I overdressed….but looking around I don’t think so” Marigold mutgered. 
    “You look perfect” Richard kissed her hand. 
    Jericho got up and walked out of the party room,Catalina stood up and followed him,he went to the rooftop,Catalina met him standing there,smoking aggressively. 
    Minutes later,Marigold around to find Jericho,she saw him just coming in with Catalina and their eyes met,he looked away from her and sat down,somewhere different from where he was earlier. 
    Their eyes met countless times and they would look away. 
    “Wanna dance with me?” Richard asked and Marigold looked at him,she nodded. 
    He wrapped his arm around her waist,leading her to tbe center. 
    Jericho sipped from his wine. 
    “They look great together” Catalina said. 
    “You think?” He asked. 
    “Of course,and seems her brother likes him” Catalina said and Jericho chuckled. 
    *
    “Wow,Nadia?” Franco called in surprise when she saw Nadia. 
    “Hey” She smiled shyly. 
    “I’ve never seen you in a party” Franco muttered. 
    “Shout out to my sister then” She chuckled. 
    “You look hot” He mumbled. 
    “Thanks” Nadia said and they started walking together slowly. 
    Nadia suddenly sighted Yuna coming from afar. .
    “I need to go,later” She waved and immediately walked away leaving Franco speechless. 
    “What’s with her” He mumbled. .
    “Franco” Someone called from the back and he turned. 
    “Oh…Yuna right?” 
    Yuna nodded immediately and he smiled. 
    “Hi” 
    “You look so handsome tonight” 
    “You too” Franco said and she blushed. 
    “Do you wanna go check something to ear with me? I want chicken wings” Yuna said and Franco chuckled. 
    “Okay” 
    *
    Back in the party hall,the music shifted to a soulful ballad, the lights dimmed, and the crowd melted away, leaving only the gentle sway of couples lost in the moment. Marigold found herself in the arms of Richard again, their bodies swaying in time to the music.
    But despite the intimate embrace,Marigold’s gaze drifted across the room, her eyes locking onto Jericho who was laughing and spinning his partner,Catalina. 
    “Is he high? Why laughing because of her?” Marigold scoffed inwardly. 
    Her eyes lingered on the way Jericho’s eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled, the way his hair curled slightly at the nape of his neck, and the effortless way he was just hot. 
    Meanwhile, Richard,held her close, his eyes fixed on hers, his expression soft and gentle. He whispered sweet nothings in her ear, his warm breath sending shivers down her spine, but Marigold’s mind was elsewhere, her heart aching with a mix of longing and frustration.
    As the music built to a crescendo,her gaze snapped back to Jericho, their eyes meeting in a flash of tension. For a moment, they just stared at each other, Then,her attention returned to Richard. 
    “Are you okay?” He asked. 
    Marigold managed to nod,the last moment her eyes fell back on Jericho and Catalina…Catalina was trying to kiss Jericho even tho he doesn’t look interested,she kept pressing her body on him. 
    Marigold lost control if her precious self and pulled down Richards hands from her waist. 
    “Let’s take a break” She smiled. 
    “Okay” Richard also smiled,but it was fake. He knew she’s been staring at Jericho. 
    Marigold went to grab her red wine in the table and started walking toward Catalina and Jericho. She suddenly faked a balance lose and her red wine poured all over Catalina’s white dress. 
    Everyone gasped out loudly. 
    “Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!” Catalina screamed out,seeing what her pure white dress turned to. 
    She faced Marigold with anger. 
    “Oh….I’m sorry,it was a mistake” Marigold said 
    “Are you mad?!!! Mistake?!! You call this a mistake?!! How is this going to get fixed?!!!” Catalina yelled. 
    “By you going home” Marigold mumbled in a cold way. 
    “What?!”
    “You heard me” Marigold said bluntly.

    “Why did you do that?” Jericho asked. 
    “I can’t lie to them about where I am,so it’s better to ignore the reason that would make me lie” Marigold replied. 
    Jericho said nothing. 
    “Let’s eat the ramen before it gets cold” Marigold grabbed his hand and dragged him to where the ramen is,they both down. 
    “I think she’s a Korean” Marigold smiled,picking up the chopsticks. 
    “I don’t think she is” Jericho also took the second set. 
    “Can you use chopsticks?” Marigold asked,looking kind of amazed. 
    “Why are you asking me when you can use it? But I can’t?” Jericho questioned back. 
    “I lived in Korea,what are you saying?” Marigold bragged. 
    “You lived there?” Jericho asked after his first slurp on the ramen. 
    “You don’t know? I just got back” Marigold said. 
    “You don’t look Korean” Jericho said. 
    “I’m not a Korean,I just live there with my granny” Marigold said. 
    “So why are you here?” Jericho asked. 
    “My granny passed away” Marigold replied. 
    Jericho said nothing as he looked at her face while she continue eating,his eyes fell on the ramen soup stain on the side of her mouth then looked away again. 
    “What about you? Is your granny still alive?” Marigold asked. 
    “Wipe your mouth first,I hate seeing that” Jericho said and threw her a tissue. 
    Marigold pouted and wiped her mouth. 
    “Mean” She rolled her eyes. 
    Jericho dropped his chopsticks and rest his back on the seat. 
    “Answer my question” Marigold said. 
    “I’ve reached my limit” Jericho muttered. 
    “What limit?” Marigold raised her brows. 
    “Because of you,I talk more than usual” Jericho said and Marigold chuckled. 
    She finished up the ramen and drank the water also. 
    “Gosh!! I’m so full!!” She groaned and touched her tummy. 
    Jericho looked away and chuckled secretly. 
    “Oh,the rain is stopping” Marigold said and Jericho stood up. 
    The rain finally stopped dropping,Jericho turned and their eyes locked. 
    “Let’s go” He mumbled and walked out,Marigold immediately carried her bag and ran after him. 
    They greeted and appreciated the bookstore lady before leaving. 
    Jericho threw his helmet for Marigold and she caught it.
    “Ouch!! That’s painful!” She screamed. 
    Jericho climbed on the bike.
    “Climb on if you want” He said. 
    “Try to act cool sometimes at least” Marigold scoffed and immediately wore the helmet,she climbed on the bike and Jericho took off. 
    “Hold on tight,I don’t know how to go slow” Jericho mumbled. 
    Marigold immediately tightened her grip around him. 
    Minutes later,Jericho stopped few distance away from the Scotts place. 
    “Thank you Tiger” Marigold smiled as she returned his helmet. 
    Jericho ignored what she said and rode off speedily. 
    Marigold scoffed and started running home,getting home she met the whole family about having dinner,her dad was home too.
    “Daddyyyyy!!!!!!!!” Marigold screamed the moment she heard his voice. 
    “Prettiest daughter in the universe” Mr Scott called,opening his arms as Marigold rushed into his warm embrace. 
    “I missed you so much dad,alot” She mumbled. 
    “I missed you more,I rushed my works because of you,I couldn’t wait to see you” Mr Scott said and Marigold blushed. 
    Mrs Scott cleared her throat. 
    “Where are you coming from?” Xavier asked,not caring about the happy moment. 
    “I told mom I was going to watch a movie with my friend,but unfortunately it started raining,so we stayed back until it stopped” Marigold replied. Xavier gave her an unsatisfied look but he didnt say anything else. 
    “I’m saying the truth” Marigold said as she sat down.
    “I didn’t say anything” Xavier replied. 
    “Come on Xavier,let her be. She’s enjoying this place,but I’m surprised you got friends so quickly” Mr Scott said. 
    Kate was already dishing out their meal. 
    “Yes dad,I have three friends” Marigold said proudly. 
    “Of course anyone would want to be my baby’s friend” Mrs Scott said. 
    “You’re making me red mom” Marigold said dramatically and Mrs Scott laughed. 
    “Xavier why are you quiet? Did anything happened in school?” Mr Scott asked. 
    “Just…..some crazy stuffs” Xavier muttered. 
    “Let’s have some men’s talk after dinner” Mr Scott said and Xavier smiled. 
    “With a bottle of wine” He said. 
    “Anything you want son” Mr Scott replied. 
    “Baby,we should have some ladies talk too” Mrs Scott said to Marigold and they all laughed. 
    “What’s funny? Can’t we have some ladies talk too?” Mrs Scott asked. 
    “You’re so jealous woman,come on” Mr Scott saud. 
    “You should be with me after dinner,not with your son please,I want my husband” Mrs Scott rolled her eyes. 
    “Don’t worry mom,I will release him early” Xavier said. 
    “But honestly,I don’t want a kid sister or brother” Marigold said and they laughed again.

    2AM, JERICHO’S RESIDENCE*
    Jericho sighed out loudly the moment he opened his eyes,he sat up on the bed and took a journal on the bedside stool. It’s written on the journal..SLEEP JOURNAL. 
    He removed the pen and opened it to write,it’s filled up with his sleep records,everyday and night,and he wrote this time around. 
    📚 12:30am-2am. 
    It’s less than two hours he slept and now he’s awake again,it’s no longer a new thing,sometimes it’s just one hour and some other day he just wouldn’t be able to sleep at all. 
    He dropped the journal and left the room,he went downstairs and entered the bar where he sat down,he picked one of the alcoholic wine and a glass. He started drinking. 
    He was there until morning,he didn’t sleep a wink as usual. After checking the time,he went upstairs to get ready for school.

    “I’m going to eat something when I am done with the meeting….”
    “No,have this first” Ember insisted. 
    Mr Brown dranked it and she smiled. 
    Felix came downstairs and met them,he wasn’t totally dressed yet. 
    “Morning dad” He greeted. 
    “Morning son” Mr Brown replied. 
    Clent walked in. 
    “I was thinking….should I try to find out where Jericho lives?” Felix asked Mr Brown and Ember frowned. 
    “There’s no need for that” Mr Brown replied. 
    “I’m sure he’s fine,he’s not a child” Ember smiled. 
    Mr Brown turned to Clent. 
    “You’re here,thank goodness. I was about calling you,let’s go” Mr Brown said. 
    Clent looked at Ember and she rolled her eyes at him,he ignored it and followed Mr Brown out.

    “Here is the list you asked me to bring” He ssid. 
    “Oh thank you so much” Prof Annie smiled
    Xavier said nothing. 
    “Is there something wrong? Your face look unapproachable,unlike you” Annie said. 
    “I’m just trying to bring my hope down before it’s too late” Xavier said. 
    “Huh?” Prof Annie was confused. 
    Xavier was about talking when they heard someone knocking on the door. 
    “Come in please” Prof Annie said. 
    The door opened amd Dr Ruben entered. 
    Xavier rolled his eyes. 
    “Morning” Ruben smiled. 
    “Oh morning” Prof Annie retuned the kind smile.

    Marigold was on her way to her first class,she was in so much hurry that she wasn’t even looking at where she was going. 
    Someone suddenly stopped her with a finger on her head. 
    “Ouuuuu” Marigold looked up. 
    “Richie” She called with a smile. 
    “How many minutes late?” Richard asked. 
    “Not late yet but the lecturer should enter the LH in ten minutes,I hate sitting at the back” Marigold muttered. 
    “It’s tonight” Richard said. 
    “Tonight? What?” Marigold asked. 
    “You promised to have dinner with me remember?” 
    “Oh…that’s true” Marigold smiled. 
    “So you will be available tonight right?” Richard asked and she nodded. 
    “I will come pick you up,don’t worry about your brother,I will tell him” Richard said. 
    “Okay,see you later” Marigold smiled. 
    Richard held her hand and she looked at him,she wanted to ask why but was surprised when he hugged her. 
    “Don’t forget” He simply whispered into her ear and Marigold blinked in a fast motion. 
    ‘What just happened?’ She asked herself. 
    “Bye” She mumbled and walked say,almost staggering. 
    Richard looked up and saw Jericho watching him from where he was standing,trying to smoke. He actually saw him hugging Marigold. Richard walked away.

    “Girl,have you seen this?” Cassidy asked,showing Melissa a video on her phone. 
    “He dedicated a goal to a girl” Rylie said. 
    “What?! Who’s she?” Melissa asked. 
    “I couldn’t capture who the girl is,but I heard she’s in year one” Cassidy replied. 
    “That’s not possible,why would Jericho do that for a freshman,how did they even meet so soon?” Melissa scoffed. 
    “Same question I’m asking,maybe it’s a prank?” 
    “But the funniest part is that,Catalina was beside him when he did that” Rylie said and they all laughed.
    “Why are you surprised? That girl doesn’t mean a thing to him,she’s just forcing it” Melissa hissed. 
    “How’s your photoshoot plan with Holly?” Cassidy asked. 
    “It’s this weekend,I heard she might arrive today,I’m not sure tho” Melissa replied. 
    “I can’t wait to see that,gosh. I’m sure Catalina might just decide to die when the magazine is finally out” Rylie said and Cassidy laughed.
    Melissa only smiled. 
    “I’m going for shopping after school,you girls available?” She asked. 
    “Always available for shopping and you know that” Cassidy and Rylie said at a time.

    NOON*
    Marigold and Sawyer walked out of the lecture hall tiredly. 
    “Fuck it,LIN 132 is my greatest enemy at this point,what sort of assignments did she just gave us,how many questions,for how many days?! She should just kill me to satisfy herself” Sawyer groaned. 
    “Life is not all roses,you haven’t even gotten anywhere” Marigold said. 
    “I know,but I seriously hate assignments” Sawyer muttered. 
    “Girls!” Yuna and Alice ran over to them. 
    “What’s up?” Sawyer asked.
    “Anyone interested in joining the cheerleading team? They are looking for new members” Yuna said. 
    “Not interested” Sawyer scoffed. 
    “Me too” Alice rolled her eyes. 
    “I’m interested,I love dancing” Marigold smiled. 
    “Oh finally,then let’s go” Yuna immediately said. 
    “Wait,I should ask my brother if I can do that” Marigold said and dialed Xavier’s number. 
    She talked for like two minutes before hanging up. 
    “What was his response?” Yuna asked curiously. 
    “He said I can do whatever I want,but don’t get hurt” Marigold grinned. 
    “Yesss!!!” Yuna screamed and grabbed her hand,they both ran away,leaving Sawyer and Alice. 
    “I’m hungry,let’s go find something to eat please” Sawyer said and they walked to the school Canteen together. 
    After getting their food,they went to sit down. 
    They’ve started eating when they started hearing soke murmurs,They both turned to see Shawn entering into the canteen with his team. 
    “Oh my gosh,oh my gosh” Alice immediately arranged her hair properly,that’s her crush. 
    Sawyer chuckled.
    Shawn is the leader of the school swimming team,he’s handsome and hot too. 
    👥 Hey Shawn
    👥 You look so handsome
    👥 I love your new hair style
    Shawn waved at the girls calling out his name. 
    “Look at me here,please” Alice pleaded inwardly.

    “Well,I’m going to get him one day” Alice saud. 
    “I pray you do” Sawyer laughed.

    The new students who came to join are on one side of the hall,the two coordinators who are females are testing them out since they can’t accept everyone of them. 
    Catalina and Melissa also present,they are both the leaders of the team even though they never get along but since none of them is ready to give up for the other,they have to remain there. 
    “You have to know at least a few steps in dancing before you think of joining this team please,tho everything is not about dancing,but dancing is our significant aspect here” One of the coordinators spoke up after seeing a girl who can’t even dance to save her life. 
    Yuna already got tested and as expected she passed. 
    And finally it was Marigold’s turn. 
    “Do you have anything you would like to dance to?”
    “Anything” Marigold replied. 
    Catalina scoffed,glaring at Marigold hatefully. 
    The music was played and Marigold started doing her dance,surprisingly she was so good,almost too perfect,the way she moves,her body twists and flexibility everyone was totally amazed. 
    👥 Wow
    👥 She’s so perfect.
    The music stopped and the coordinators clapped.
    “Are you a dancer?”
    “No….I just trained so hard because I wanted to audition to become a kpop idol” Marigold replied. 
    “Oh,you’re from Korea?”
    “Yeah” 
    “I don’t think her steps are that great to call hee perfect” Melissa spoke up. 
    “She’s good Melissa,this is not even a chorography yet” The coordinator said and she rolled ner eyes. 
    “Someone’s mad” Yuna giggled.

    She turned and was almost shocked to see Frabxo. 
    “Oh…it’s you…Frankie” She said. 
    Franco chuckled. 
    “At least you remember my face” He said. 
    “Oh,I got the name wrong again? I’m sorry” She said sadly. 
    “You can just call me Frankie,since it’s easier for you” Franco said and she smiled. 
    “Thanks….but what are you doing here?” She asked. 
    “I just came” Franco replied. 
    “Oh” Nadia mumbled and took her lips in.

    “Hi” Marigold said. 
    “Hi” Franco muttered,looking kind of confused. 
    “Have you seen Tiger….I mean Jericho,I’ve not seen him all day” She saud. 
    Franco shook his head and showed her his phone screen,he was calling Jericho’s number. 
    “He’s not answering,maybe he left” Franco said. 
    “Oh,thank you” Marigold said and walked away. 
    “Who’s she?” Franco mumbled and suddenly remember. 
    “Isn’t she the girl who fainted that Day?” He mumbled and turned to see her again but Marigold already left.

    Marigold entered the old library where Jericho always sleep and walked to his corner,as expected she met him there sitting but with his eyes closed. 
    “Hey Tiger,don’t you sleep at home?!” She yelled. 
    No response.
    “Hey” She touched his face and a gasp escaped her lips. 
    His body was so fucking hot. 
    “Hey!! Jericho!!” She shouted and tapped him continuously. 
    “Is he dead? Tiger!” She screamed and Jericho opened his eyes slowly. 
    “So loud” He groaned. 
    “You’re burning!” Marigold said. 
    She touched his head. 
    “Cold water or ice” She mumbled and immediately dropped her bag,she wanted to run out to get what she mentioned. 
    Jericho grabbed her hand and she turned. 
    “I don’t need those” He mumbled. 
    “But,your temperature is too high to ignore….” Jericho pulled her closer,so quick that she fell on his laps.
    She gasped and her eyes widened. 
    “Stop being too loud” He said. 
    Marigold could feel her head torn into two,beating aggressively. 
    “What,why do you look so shocked?” Jericho asked In a mocking voice. 
    “I…..can I….stand up….I….” She stuttered. 
    “I can’t hear that” Jericho said. 
    “I want to…..” The remaining words seized to come out from her throat as something soft landed on her lips. 
    Her eyes grew even wider. 
    Jericho Brown just kissed her!!
