CHAPTER 9
THE WENDELL’S MANSION***
Carding was in his room, writing a lyrics song, he always does that during his leisure time.
He smiles as he keeps writing the lyrics of the song.
“I must be going ¢razy writing a song about her” Carding said smiling.
Odessa enters the room and he quickly covers the notepad.
“What’re you doing?” She asked smiling.
“Nothing Mom” He replies.
“Are you still mad at me?” Odessa asked.
“Even if I am, Will it changed anything? No right?” Carding asked looking at her.
Odessa sighs and sits beside him, he takes his hand and caress it softly.
“I hope you can understand me son, Your eighteen and sooner or later, your going to fall in love with someone and then your going to understand how am feeling right now”.
“But why him mom? Of all the men in the world, Why did you end up loving a man like Dad?”
Odessa smiles sadly.
“Just like how you can’t tell the sun to stop shinning, Is also the same way you can’t tell your heart who to love, We can’t decide for our hearts son, it’s always does what it’s wants” Odessa said.
Carding looks at her and sighs.
“I hope you understand me son, and also know that I love you very much Carding”
Carding smiles.
“I love you too Mom, and since Dad is still in Brazil, the mansion will be save for us to breathe in, without being scared” Carding said and Odessa smiles.
“What were you doing when I entered?” Odessa asked.
“Nothing Mom, just some random stuffs… Mom”
“Yes son”
“Whose in charge of this year’s scholarship intakes?” Carding asked.
“Why’re you suddenly asking about that?”
“I’m just curious”
“That’ll be your principal” Odessa answers.
“Then can you be in charge of it” Carding said and Odessa looks at him.
“Dad isn’t home at the moment, and since he hates you, he always put principle James in charge of the school.. And now that his not in Chicago for the meantime, you should be in charge of the new intakes” Carding said.
“And where this heading to?” Odessa asked.
“I just want to help a friend out”
“A friend?”
“Yes, she’s my friend and…
“Did you just say she?” Odessa asked with a flirting smiles.
“Don’t get it all wrong Mom, I want you to offer her the scholarship to be able to school in Empire High”
“That won’t be a problem if she passed the exam”
“That’s where the problems comes in, she’s smart, but she’s not smart in terms of studying, she’s zero when it comes to the term intelligence”
“So you want me to grant her the scholarship even if she fails?”
Carding nods.
“Isn’t that called cheating? And you know if peradventure she’s gets a scholarship into your school, she also needs to keep up with her grades so she won’t get rescinded right? If your dad finds out, is going to be a world war 3, Hope you know that?”
“I know that Mom, but am going to make sure she keeps up with a good grades, so that anyone won’t find out”
“Are you boasting with your brains now?” Odessa asked smiling.
“Mom!”
“Alright Fine, for your sake, I’ll be in charge of this year students intake, What’s her name”
“Paige. Paige Castillo” Carding said smiling.
“Alright son, I’ll seek to it my son’s girlfriend enters Empire High”
“Mom, she’s not my girlfriend”
“But you love her right?”
“I don’t know… Can you go back to your room?” Carding said feeling embarrassed, Odessa smiles.
“Alright son…. Goodnight” Odessa said standing up to her feet and pecks his cheek.
Carding smiles.
“You too Mom”
“And tell my daughter in-law I said Hi”
“Mom!!”
Odessa laughs and leaves his room.
Carding’s phone buzzed and he smiled when he sees it was a message from Paige, both already exchange numbers.
Carding opens the message and Paige’s picture appear on the screen.
She had hamburger sauce all over her lips.
WANNA JOIN ME?
Carding smiles and zooms the picture.
“She’s really a ¢razy girl” Carding said smiling, before replying to her message.

“Is that so, then I can be able to see him before the exam starts”
“Who?” Desiree asked.
“I’ll be right back” Paige said and took to her heels.
She quickly enters the Cad’s Lounge and sees Carding sleeping in the couch.
She looks around.
“Isn’t it too early to be sleeping?” She asked and approach him.
She squats in front of him staring at his face and she smiles.
“His like a sleeping beauty” Paige said smiling, and her eyes fell on his pink lips.
“His lips is so sxy” she said admiring his little pinkish lips.
“I wonder how his lips is going to taste, Should I give it a try?” She asked staring at his close eyes.
“Maybe I should” She muttered smiling, and began leaning closer to his lips, her lips were just an inch away from his lips, When Carding opens his eyes.
“What’re you doing?” He asked in a whisper, Paige gasps and sI.aps him so hard on the face.
“Ouch…. Paige!!!!”
“There’s a very big mosquito on your face” Paige rushly said.
“Mosquito?”
