Christina stepped out in her short blue lace gown as she took in the sight before her, so did Deborah and Helen. They wore the same cloth only that Deborah's was black and Helen's was red, coming off as the power three. Their dresses complimented their legs, tight enough to show some curves and vee necked to attract an eye or two.Helen study the environment in one quick glance. The hotel stood tall and elegant in the midst of other surrounding buildings. It was not shocking that her school mates could afford one of the most expensive hotels in Enugu. What was she thinking when they had three of the richest teens in the country as mates?
'You look beautiful.' Miracle commented and took Christina in.
Helen grinned at the awestruck gaze of Kingsley on Deborah. He was immobile and tongue tied. He scratched the back of his neck in discomfort.
'You are--' Before he could complete his words, Stephen interrupted.
'I forgot something in the car. I should get it.'
They nodded but as Helen was about to follow the two in, he pulled her back.
'We should get it.'
'What?'
'They'll need the space.'
'Ah. Oh!' She dumbly mumbled in realization.
'This is the longest three minutes of my life.' Deborah glanced at her wristwatch for the umpteenth time.
'I thought they wanted to get something from the car,' She gazed at the people on the dancefloor and relunctantly looked at Kingsley.
'I know you're gaping.'
'I can't help it.'
He sat forward and took a sip from his drink.
'That's new. I'll take it as a compliment.'
'So tell me about yourself.'
'You know that very awkward moment when someone asks you about yourself and you're wondering who the heck you are? That's it right now.' She rolled her eyes.
'I didn't expect the almighty Kingsley to be without approach or tactics. This is plain and boring.'
His head fell backwards in laughter, she was one hell of a drama queen. He could watch her each day, every time and not be satisfied.
'When I'm with you I have no tactics. You render me bare.'
'Oh well, I supposed.' She clucked her tongue to the side.
'Then at least tell me your hobbies, what you hate and what you like but I'll guess first.'
'Go on.'
'You love debating, you like Stephen and you hate me.'
'That's an approach. You're not totally wrong,' She chuckled.
'So?'
'I love debating, I think it'll help my stage presence because I'd like to be a presenter, I like Stephen but I don't hate you.'
'Smoothen things here.' He rested back, releasing the breath he was not aware that he was holding.
'So?'
'What do I do to get in your good book? Or better still, how do I get you to like me?'
'I don't know.' She shrugged then chortled.
'At least, tell me what I do wrong so I can avoid doing them.'
'Why is it important?'
'Because,' He paused.
'I'm calling it a truce. As cute as it is, I don't like quarrelling with you every time.'
'Neither do I. Fine, I hate your guts.'
He lips broadened.
'We share that in common. I also hate your guts. It simultaneously pisses me off and challenges me.'
She nodded at his honesty.
'And?'
'And?'
She released a breath in resignation.
'I hate that thing you do with your eyes and lips.'
'What?'
'How you lift your brows and smirk at the same time.'
'I don't notice I do that.'
'Oh I do, every damn time. You leave a girl stuck wondering how you can be so sexy, arrogant and make her feel foolish at the same time.'
'So you think it's sexy? You think I'm sexy?' He grinned.
'You know that but you want me to inflate your ego,' She grumbled.
'You're doing it again.'
'Oh my goodness! I don't do it on purpose.' He laughed.
'I don't think so.' She dropped the drink she was about to sip.
'Tell me, how someone can do this without knowing eh?' She raised her brows and lips at the same time. Instead of coming off arrogant, she came off cute, super adorable and the fact that he wanted to kiss her that moment was disturbing.
'See, we don't make a bad team.'
'I guess.' She smirked.
'Keep trying, one day you might be able to pull it off.'
'The look?'
'Yep.'
'You arrogant jerk.'
'I get that a lot and it's not a compliment. Do you want to dance?'
'Sure.' She took his hand and regretted it immediately the blasting music was changed to something more atmospheric, slow and romantic.
I'll be damned. She mumbled to herself as they got to the dancefloor, moving their bodies to find me by Sigma and Birdy. She did not know why and how it suited, she just knew that one of Kingsley's hand was on her waist, the other held her hand while their eyes locked. She lowered her head, taking in the scent of him, obvious Dior Sauvage. She felt warmth resonate through her at his eyes laid on her again. For the first time, she noticed how it lit up in the dim lights and how his lips curved which was not just in arrogance but elegance.
If you're ready, heart is open.
I'll be waiting, come find me.If you're searching for forever.I'll be waiting, come find me.I see you, here in the darkness.Blinding light right where your heart is.If you're ready, heart is open. I'll be waiting, come find me.

Helen and Stephen stopped, seeing Deborah and Kingsley on the dance floor, in each others embrace. It was the most beautiful of sight, Helen could swear that it was the first time she had seen him at peace. 'Do you want to dance?' Stephen relunctantly asked. 'No. Not really.''I was hoping you'd say that.' He exhaled to her amusement. 'Why?''Because I can barely move my feet and I'd rather be doing other things.''Like?''What we were doing.''Stargazing?''That's pretty concized.''Then elaborate Mister.' Helen bumped her shoulder to his as they walked back to the quiet garden behind the swimming pool. 'I'd rather be watching you, watch the stars.''Uhhhmm.' She scratched her jawline. 'Won't that be boring?' She took a seat and he did.

'Guess who got zero in biology test?' Hilda announced, carrying their test exercise books. She handed it to the prefect. 'Biology teacher said I should give it to you.' She shrugged and picked two as the students rushed for theirs. 'So as I was saying, our able Helen Eze got zero.' She scoffed and laughed, the class was silent before giggles erupted. Helen balled her fist and snatched her book. 'Thank you idiot!''Idiocy is failing twice. You don't know anything.''At least, I can solve mathematics with my eyes closed and still beat you. Everyone's good in their own way. Enjoy the limelight for now, that's if you got an A.''Oh spare me, who'd pick A plus and F over an A and B or two B plus? Sugar, you have to balance it but you can't since you're a loser and a fool.' Hilda snickered. 'A wise man once said,' Stephen began and the class went sil

'Thank you.''I should thank you. It was a pleasure having you around.'She strode to her gate, glanced back at him while he waited for her to go in, she rushed back, enveloped his lips in an intend quick kiss. She noticed the shock, a smile formed on her lips triumph. When she wanted to pull away, his hand cupped the back of her neck, fixing her at a point as he devour her lips; a taste he could not get enough of. They broke off in mutual need to breathe.'Good night.' She stepped back and walked in, leaving him perplexed at what he got himself into. It was all strange to him, he was always the one to take the lead and leave the other perplexed. However, he was
The Heartbreakers 15. Get A Kiss
Helen stood above the open roof as Miracle's car stopped beside theirs. 'I'd say it time and again, you strike a good pose.' Miracle grinned, pulling out his cellphone to record the moment. 'But I have me a girl here who'd strike better.' He winked at Christina who did the same thing with her friends. 'Kingsley would show you guys how winners do.' She puffed out her tongue. 'Yah, tell them baby girl.' He chuckled. 'No, I have me a winner here and we don't speak losers dictionary.' Deborah smirked. 'I look forward to seeing the disappointment in your faces.' Christina countered. 'Win this race and get a kiss from me.'That had a loud roar from them. 'I hope to.' Miracle replied with more light in his eyes. 'That's not playing fair.' Helen mumbled.
