The day is too sunny. Michael thought as he grabbed a bottle of whisky pouring it into his tumbler. A young lady walked behind him, placing her hands on his chest and rubbing his chest playfully. "Sweetheart, why did you get off the bed? I was looking for you."

Michael turned to face her, kissing her on her lips. "You need to get going." He told her bluntly before walking away.

"What's all this? You call me up anytime you need me to warm your bed and when you are done with me, you push me away like I am some kind of trash."

"Gina, do not start," Michael told her, glaring at her. "Go back to your boyfriend."

"It's because of her, isn't it?" She asked him as she folded her arms across her chest.

Michael moved closer to her pulling her by the neck. "What do you know?"

Regina started coughing. "You are hurting me." She told him. Michael left her neck and waited for her to spill the beans. "I followed you last night and I saw you kissing her, you even got her a bouquet. Is she your girlfriend?"

"She's not. She is just like you. I use her for fun just like I use you. Don't go around spreading rumors and pray to the heavens I don't catch you stalking me." Michael turned back and left her.

Nora arrived at work and she was glad Sara was in the baking room. She dropped her bag and went to join her best friend in the room. Sara looked up at her but later ignored her existence. Nora went closer to her standing beside her like someone who was caught stealing candy and is awaiting punishment. "Don't give me that look. Start talking." Sara said as she stopped what she was doing.

"Sara, I am sorry. I shouldn't have reacted that way."

"But you did."

"I know and I'm very sorry."

Sara sighed. "What happened?"

"It's a long story." She explained.

"Well, I've got thirty minutes to listen to it."

"I'll tell you after we're done baking," Nora said as they both chuckled knowing fully well they'd be in trouble if they chat instead of bake.

"Just know I still haven't forgiven you yet," Sara said.

Nora nodded. The two of them started working on the confectionaries.

"Kelvin Netherland, where do you think you are going?". A man in his mid-sixties asked.

"Give me a break Dad," replied Kelvin as he made his way to the door.

Kelvin's father- Mr. Alfred Netherland owns a business firm that deals with the importation and exportation of quality clothes, shoes, and, other brands of items, and he has been convincing his only son to take over his position as the Director of the company but Kelvin has no interest in it. All Kelvin is after is getting all the ladies, sleeping with them, and of course, breaking their hearts before dumping them.

"Why don't you just come with me one day and see how I run things at the company."

Kelvin shook his head. "No can't do Dad. Just hire someone to do it."

"You want me to hire an imposter when I have a son?" Alfred asked.

"Exactly! Now with that settled, I will see you when I get back." Without taking another glance at his dad, Kelvin opened the door and left the house.

He brought out his phone and he gave a call to his best friend. "Yo! What's up?" He asked. They both chatted for a while. "Where?" he asked. "Franklin Guesthouse?". "See you there."

Kelvin ended the call and took a walk downtown where he spotted a nice place to grab something to eat 'Oak and Honey." He opened the door and went in. He took a seat as he gestured to someone to come attend to him.

"Hey, good morning. Welcome to Oak and Honey." The girl greeted me with a smile plastered on her face.

"Yeah. I saw the signboard outside on my way in so you don't need to tell me."

The girl cleared her throat. "What would you like to have?" she asked him.

"Some cakes that I can eat now and some I can take home with a glass of fruit juice." He stated his orders as the girl looked at him. "Well, what are you waiting for?" He asked wondering why the girl was still there staring at him.

"Right away sir." The girl said as she left to get his orders.

Entering the baking room the girl gave the list to Nora. "Table 13; Some cakes to eat and to take home." Nora reads as her eyes stumbled on some words she read. "And his lips to take home?" Nora looked at the girl who quickly snatched the paper from her and left.

Sara burst into laughter as she arranged the orders. "He must be really cute for her to put that in a sheet"

Nora shook her head as she collected the orders from Sara. She went out of the baking room and went to table 13 to give the person the orders. "Here's your cake and this is the takeaway." She handed the guy his orders.

"What about the drink?" Kelvin asked, looking up at her.

"Drink?" Nora couldn't believe this. Seriously! She muttered to herself while searching for Amanda, the girl that gave her the order. "Um, we are so sorry about that. What drink?"

I just knew that girl wasn't taking my orders with the way she was staring at me. "Forget that. How much is everything?" He asked bringing out his wallet.

"10 bucks," Nora told him.

Kelvin gave her the ten bucks, took his cakes, and left.

Nora went to meet Amanda. "What did he order?" she asked her.

"Some cakes to eat and some cakes to take home," Amanda answered.

"Really?" Nora asked. "He didn't order a drink?"

Amanda thought about it for a while. "Oh Yes! He ordered fruit juice."

"Now check the orders you gave to me," Nora instructed. Amanda opened the paper and she saw she didn't write fruit juice. She looked up at Nora who was already giving her a warning look.

"If you do not want to lose your job, I'd advise you to concentrate and stop focusing on their lips," Nora warned.

"It's not my fault. I mean, did you see how hot he looks? I wish I could be that cake he was taking home." Amanda said. Nora looked at her with disbelief. She can't believe this was coming from a girl who had just finished high school. She ignored her and left her to daydream.

Author's Notes

Ever admire someone?? was it awkward or nice??

It was 8 pm Sara and Nora decided to go somewhere to talk. "What about the Franklin Guesthouse? I heard his guesthouse is quite lovable," said Sara with her arms around Nora's arms. Nora wasn't interested and Sara could tell from the way her face squeezed up in a frown. "Come on Nory, It's going to be fun besides I won't leave your side for a second. What do you say?" She asked. Nora was feeling very reluctant but with a friend like Sara, it won't be very easy to tell her no.

"I don't know Sara. Can't we just go somewhere not fancy and just look for a quiet place to talk?". Nora whined, poking her best friend in the cheek. Nora was trying her best to make sure her best friend said yes to her request.

"Not this time, Eleanora Bell. We are having things my way and that's final. We ain't debating on this issue at all." Sara said with all seriousness and Nora could tell she wasn't going to have her way this time.

Anytime it involves going out and stuff, Nora always tells her no or she would come up with one excuse so she could avoid any shit things.

"But don't you think it's late for a day out or a night out? Do you know how scary the world has become?"

"None of that works on me, Nora. You are coming with me and that's final."

"Fine! But if things get way out of hand, I'm leaving with or without you...deal?"

"Yeah, sure! whatever!"

"I'm very serious. I waited and waited and I didn't see you, trust me, Sara, I'm leaving."

"Do whatever you want. All I know is that you're coming with me."

They both walked to the guest house.

~~~~~

Kelvin sat down in front of the bartender asking him to pour him a glass of vodka. "You want it chilled or hot?" asked the bartender.

"Any temperature will do right now," replied Kelvin.

The bartender smiled as he mixed the drink for him and passed it over to him. Kelvin was drinking his vodka when someone came to him. "Yo Kev." He turned to look at who the person was and right there was Michael.

"Mike, It's so good to see you." He greeted them as they hugged each other. Michael grabbed a seat next to Kelvin as he ordered the same drink. "So what's going on?" asked Michael, sipping his drink.

"Nothing much. How about you? What about your girlfriend? the one you've failed to introduce me to all these years." asked Kelvin.

Michael sipped his drink as he gave Kelvin a look. "I want to break up with her but I don't know how."

Kelvin put his drink aside as he folded his arms looking at his friend. "What do you mean by you don't know how? Is there a special method to break up with someone? just walk up to her and tell her you ain't interested anymore, I mean how hard can that be?"

"You don't understand man. This girl is different although she isn't all sexy and stuff she has a very beautiful heart and damns she's everything any guy would ever want."

"So why do you want to break up with her?"

Michael whispered to Kelvin. "She doesn't let me touch her...like we've kissed but anytime we romance she stops at the moment I am so horny that all I would want to do is have sweet sex with her and that would leave me feeling bad because then I would have to look for other ways to satisfy myself because my girlfriend is too scared to give it to me."

"Have you talked about it with her?"

Michael shook his head. "I don't know how to tell her and that's how sweet she is."

Kelvin looked at his friend. "I've never really seen you so worried about hurting a girl's feelings and now you are confused?" teased Kelvin before bursting into laughter. "This is interesting."

"This isn't funny," said Michael with a frown as he gulped down his glass of vodka.

"Just take it easy. You are smart, I am sure you will think of something."

"I hope so."

"Just relax man," Kelvin said as he patted his friend's shoulder. "I'll be right back," said Kelvin as he left.

~~~~~

Nora and Sara entered the guesthouse. Nora looked around and she could tell the place looked very nice. "Let's grab some seats over there." Sara pointed to two vacant seats as she pulled Nora along. "Come on! you are going to love it here."

"It's beautiful," admitted Nora with a smile on her face. "But I don't think I want to be in here for that long."

"Of course scaredy-cat. Let me get something for us to chill with first. Make sure you don't go anywhere." Sara said as she stood up and left Nora alone.

"'I won't leave you for a second my foot," said Nora thinking of Sara's words. Why did she believe her in the first place? she thought.

Someone passed by offering her a glass of drink. She took it and gulped it all at once. The drink tasted so sweet that she requested more glasses. After few a drinks, she was feeling tipsy. She was drunk and she knew it. She got up, almost tripping things over. "Sara." She called drunkenly but there was no response from Sara. Good thing there were not many people where she and Sara chose to sit. She made her way upstairs to the room where she met a guy sitting on the bed with a lady on his lap.

"What the hell!" The lady said as she slapped the guy. "You have someone else and you called out to me? Damn, you!" The lady said as she left eyeing Nora from head to toe but Nora wasn't bothered. She looked at the guy and she could tell she had seen him before but where? The guy looked at her and he could also tell he had seen her before.

She's the girl that attended to me in that shop. What's she doing here looking so drunk? Kelvin thought as he watched her coming to him on the bed.

Nora walked up to the bed and lay down completely ignoring the guy's presence as she slept off. Kelvin couldn't believe his eyes like where does she think she is that she can just sleep anywhere especially here? He glanced at her and he could tell she was very beautiful even though she was wearing a blue shirt and black baggy trousers, she was still beautiful, a kind of natural beauty you would hardly see anywhere. He decided to stay a bit till she woke up to keep her safe.

A few minutes later, Kelvin had the urge to use the bathroom so he went to the bathroom in the room. Immediately after he left he could hear some voices in the room.

"Give a call to Michael. Tell him we've found his girl." He heard someone say as he stayed put in the bathroom.

Which Michael are they talking about? And which girl? Kelvin asked himself as he waited patiently to see what was going to happen.

Michael was still sitting at the bar waiting for Kelvin when a call came in. He dropped his glass of vodka on the table and picked up the call. "Yo! What's up??"

"We've found her." The voice on the other side of the phone said. Michael didn't understand what the guy was saying so he stood up and went somewhere remote and quiet.

"I didn't get you before. What did you say?"

"We've found Nora Bell... Your girlfriend."

"What?" asked Michael with his tone rising from low pitch to high pitch. "Where's she?"

After he got to the room she was in, he ran to meet them, and to his greatest surprise, Nora was there sleeping soundly. Michael shut the door after him as he paced the room to and fro. "Check everywhere and make sure no one is here," Michael ordered as his friends went to carry out the order searching every nook and cranny of the room.

Kelvin overheard their conversation and thought of how he was going to hide from them without them seeing him. He looked up at the ceiling and he was glad to see that there was a little space between the wall of the bathroom and the ceiling. He looked at the space and looked at his body.

I think I can fit in here perfectly. He said to himself as he climbed and hid in that space playing dead although it was uncomfortable.

The door of the restroom opened and a head poked in. Kelvin didn't move a muscle, he was as quiet as the dead even his breathing could not be heard but if you touch his heart right now, it was beating very fast, not that he was scared but he just didn't want to be caught hiding in the rest room for no reason. The door of the restroom closes as Kelvin breathes a sigh of relief.

"No one here," White said.

"Same here." A huge guy with big muscles said.

"Did you check under the bed, Austin?" White asked the big muscle guy.

"I searched everywhere. I couldn't even find a strand of hair," answered Austin. Austin turned to meet Michael. "So Mike, what's the plan?" He asked.

Michael had no plan. "I wish Kelvin was here, he'd have thought of something."

"What if we have sex with her? besides, you don't love her anymore." White suggested and immediately, Austin smacked the back of his head, making him move forward a little. Michael was glaring at him.

"Despite the fact I don't want her, I don't like that idea of sharing what's mine." Michael looked furious.

"I'm sorry." White quickly apologized.

"I think I have a plan," Michael said as he whispered his plan to them.

They all nodded and smiled. Michael moved closer to Nora, he touched her hair and moved down to her shirt. Good thing she's facing up that way it would be easier to get the job done. He gradually opened her button one after the other until he was done with each button and Nora's plain white bra could be seen. He gestured to them to start taking pictures and photos of her.

He moved closer to her legs and he opened her legs wide open since she was wearing a skirt and gestured to them to take photos and pictures. After they were done, Michael felt fulfilled.

"Let's go." He left as the others followed after him. "Make sure you post it online....especially on the Oak and Honey site," Michael said as he closed the door.

Kelvin waited to hear them leave before he got down from his hiding spot. He opened the door gently to see if they were gone, when he found out he was alone, he came out of the restroom and moved closer to Nora who was still sleeping.

Kelvin, do not get involved. Just leave and pretend you didn't see anything. Kelvin said trying to convince himself to mind his business but he just couldn't. He looked at her for a while, studying her features; her olive-tone skin, her curly hair, her long natural eyelashes, her pointed nose and, her orange moist lips. How can he not help her besides no one would find out he did anything.

He sat on the bed. He helped her to button up her shirt and he clasped her legs together. "Nora." He called her name unexpectedly and immediately, Nora's eyes opened. Kelvin was startled, he didn't even know when he stood up from the bed. She looked at him wondering why he was sitting next to her on the bed.

"What are you doing?" She asked tiredly. As she tried to get up, Kelvin slapped her face making her fall back to sleep. He didn't need to be told twice, he quickly ran out of the room.

When he got closer to where his friends were, he put up a fake smile as he walked to meet them. Michael was the first to see him. "Where have you been?? I've been looking everywhere for you."

Really? Kelvin thought. "Well, you know me...I had some babes over and I was having a good time with them and damn when I say those girls were good, they were amazing..good is an understatement. They were perfect." Kelvin said as he sat down next to them while Michael poured him a drink.

"And you didn't think of calling us so we can enjoy them with you? That's so not fair! What are friends for?" White was sad wearing a frown on his face.

"OK. I know I should have called but I just needed them for myself alone...no sharing. You know how stingy I can be with my property."

Michael laughed as the other guys joined in. "What about you?" Kelvin asked, sipping his drink. "What have you been doing after I left?"

Michael coughed before answering. Kelvin could notice the hesitation in his voice. "Well, just like you, I've been busy with my damsels." He lied.

He's lying? But why would he lie to me? Because he knows I won't have agreed to what he did? Kelvin thought as he faked a laugh.

"Why don't we just enjoy the night, uh? What do you say?" Austin said, raising his glass as everyone cheered.
