Loreal Modeling agency**
“Like that, good” The photographer said to Monica.
She was wearing a sexy gown and kept striking various poses as the photographer took pictures of her.
“Nice! Thats it!” The photographer said.
Jackson who was sitting on a chair while watching her smiled. He looked at his side and spotted Tara. Well they all work at the same modeling agency.
Tara glared angrily at Monica for a while before she stormed out of the area. Jackson looked back at Monica, she was done.
“Good job, you learn quick” Jackson said, walking closer to her.
He handed her a bottled water.
“Thanks” Monica gulped down the content..
“You just need few more weeks and you can officially start your work” Jackson said.
“I can’t wait. I’ll finally be able to over shadow Tara, just like she usually do to me” Monica said.
“What of me..” Jackson smiled.
“Well-”
“Monica!” A voice called.
Monica smiled when she saw it was Skye. Jackson’s mood immediately crumpled down.
“How was your training” Skye asked as he hugged her.
“Was fun! Oh, forgot we’ll be going out… Let me change” She said and left.
Skye smiled as he watched Monica leave. Immediately Monica was out of site, his smile fell and he faced Jackson.
“I don’t like you” Skye blurted out.
Jackson chuckled.
“Well same feeling here.” Jackson said.
“I don’t like what you and Tara did to her. Stay away from Monica, I’m warning you” Skye glared at Jackson.
“If you didn’t like it like you’re saying, you could have confronted Tara too but you didnt” Jackson said calmly.
Skye gritted his teeth..
“You’re just a sick person who doesn’t know the value of friendship” Skye said.
Jackson chuckled, annoying Skye more.
“Well if you knew too the value of friendship you wouldn’t be here, trying to woo Monica when you know very well Tara hates her. Tara is your friend too right?” Jackson said. Skye just kept quiet..
Jackson picked up his coat and looked back at Skye.
“Stop kssing the ground where Monica walks. If she had any feelings for you, you two would have been dating by now and so far…no!” Jackson said and walked away.
Skye turned back and glared at Jackson as he left.
“I’m here” Monica smiled.
Skye nodded and tried to hide his anger behind a smile. He took her hand and they both walked out of the agency.

Howards University**
“Thanks for today Mel” Andrew said, holding hands with Melody as they walked out of school.
Well everyday, they both stay back to study.
“I’ll take you home” Andrew said and opened the door of his car.
“Uhh, actually I now live with Angelo and his family” Melody said.
“Really?!” Andrew exclaimed feeling somehow jealous.
“Yeah”
“Oh okay no probs, I know his house I’ll take you there.” Andrew said.
“Okay, thanks” Melody smiled and got in his car.
The drive to the Watterson began with them chatting and laughing. It wasn’t long before they arrived.
“Bye Andy” Melody said and opened the door of his car.
“Melody!” Andrew called.
Melody halted and turned to him.
“Yes?”
Andrew took slow strides to her. He took her hand in his.
“Melody, I don’t what you did to me but each passing day I keep thinking about you, I can’t get you out of my mind.” Andrew said.
Angelo who was coming back from Ethan’s house on foot stopped when he saw them. He hid himself…
Andrew tugged his hair behind her ear and cupped her cheek.
“I really like you Melody, I love you” Andrew smiled.
Melody sighed, she kinda saw it come.
“Andy listen…”
“I know you’re not sure of what you feel for me, I’ll wait Mel” Andrew cut her off.
He slowly brought his face closer to hers, slowly closing his eyes.
“Andrew…” Melody called him but he was already lost.
Angelo fumed from where he was hiding. He removed his sneakers and shot it at Andrew. It hit his head hard.
“Ouch!” Andrew winced, releasing Melody to rub his head.
“It’s getting late Andy” Melody immediately changed the topic.
“Okay, bye Mel” He smiled and brought his face closer to hers.
Andrew kssed her cheek before leaving, he entered his car and drove off.
Melody sighed and turned to enter the gate. She furrowed her brows when she saw Angelo walking to her with one shoe on, wait a sec…
Angelo picked his shoe with a frown and wore I, before Melody could talk he grabbed her hand and pulled her in.
“Slow down Angie…” Melody said literally running as he pulled her.
He went upstairs with her to his room. They both entered his bathroom and he took a towel, dampened it and began rubbing it on Melody’s cheek, the place where Andrew kssed.
“Angelo, you shot Andrew with your sneakers?” Melody said.
“Yes so? You think I’ll watch as he ksses you? Something I’ve been dreaming to do…” Angelo said.
Melody smiled..
“Even a kss on the cheek, I don’t want to see his ugly lips near your body” Angelo said, still rubbing the towel on her cheek.
Melody just watched him in amusement..

Donovan’s mansion**
Scarlett got in the living room, looking tired. She immediately went upstairs.
Coincidentally, Raymond was coming out of his room. Scarlett glared at him and scoffed trying to walk pass him.
“Wait” Raymond grabbed her forearm.
“Don’t tell me you’re mad because of what happened earlier. I didn’t know she will come over to my office” Raymond said.
“Okay, now let me go” Scarlett said.
Raymond turned her to face him. He tried as much as possible not to laugh with the angry look on her face.
“Not until you stop being mad at me” Raymond said.
Scarlett scoffed and looked away.
“C’mon…” Raymond smiled.
“Only if you kss me” Scarlett pouted.
Raymond raised a brow in surprise.
“Really?”
Scarlett nodded like a kid..
Raymond cupped her cheek and kssed her. He made to pull away but Scarlett pulled him down by his collar, deepening the kss.
She broke the kss and smiled widely before entering her room. Raymond smiled…
His smile immediately fell when he realized he has been smiling the whole day. Raymond shook his head and pinched his brows.
“This is all a plan” He said to himself, going downstairs.
“Beside we’re left with just three weeks to live together. I need to get something from her before those three weeks are over” Raymond said to himself, convincing himself.

Scarlett walked downstairs in her pajamas, well she turned Raymond’s shirt to her pajamas.
“Good morning ma’am” The maid greeted when she walked in the kitchen.
“Thanks everyone, can I help out?” Scarlett asked.
“Feel free ma’am” They replied.
Scarlett began cutting down the vegetables while humming a song to heself.
Raymond walked out of his room, dressed for work already. He began heading to the dining room but stopped when he saw Scarlett cooking.
Hr stood there, staring at her for a while. He suddenly remembered how Aurora used to cook for him every morning. Raymond sighed and continued his way.
“Baby!!!” Lucy screamed and hugged Raymond tightly when he walked in the room.

********
Scarlett smiled when she was done cooking the chicken to perfection.
“I hope he eats from it too” Scarlett muttered.
“I see you’re falling for our boss” Nadia said.
Well Nadia is the only maid that talks freely with Scarlett. Well, not like Scarlett bites but they are scared of her…probably because of Raymond.
“Does it show that much?” Scarlett asked, pulling her hair slightly.
“It’s glaring” Nadia smiled.
“Uhm ma’am, why don’t you make boss fall for you too? He’s really lonely and needs someone to confide in you know” Nadia said.
Scarlett began thinking about it. Now that she thinks about it, Nadia is right.
“I’ll think about it” Scarlett muttered.
She carried the plate of chicken before walking out of the kitchen.
Scarlett walked to dining room. She stopped when she heard many voices.
“Look there’s Scarlett” Lucy said.
Raymond together with the other man looked up at her. The man smiled widely when he saw Scarlett.
“Hey Scar..” He said with a smile on his lips.
Scarlett gasped loudly…
