( TILL THE RAIN STOPS )
JoJo’s eyes w¡dened, and for a minute, there was total silence.
Draco was still staring at JoJo, and this time she stared back.
“Wait… what did you just… say” Abigail said.
She still has bulging eyes from the shock.
“JoJo” Draco replied again, and Abigail choked on nothing.
She started coughing.
“JoJo?” She asked amidst her coughs.
“You have ear problem?” Draco replied without blinking, and Abigail coughed even more.
Snow’s body was shaking as if she spent her entire life in a rain, and Luna smiled when she noticed that.
“Wow, wasn’t expecting you to say that name” James said.
“Should I have mentioned you?” Draco replied, shifting his eyes to him.
“Why did you mention her though?, You in love with her?” He asked.
JoJo’s heart skipped beats immediately that question was asked, and just as Draco was about to say his answer…
“Only one question is allowed, and he has answered that” Walton interrupted.
“That’s true, but Draco might wanna try it out yunno?” Luna said, and everyone faced her.
“What do you mean?” Snow asked.
“I suggested the game, I have the right to remake rules, Draco you should try it out, k-s JoJo” Luna replied.
“What!” Snow and Abigail said at a time.
“Draco, you interested?” Luna asked, and Draco looked at JoJo before standing.
JoJo started picking on her nails under the table as he started walking to her, but a little before he’d get to her, Butter stood.
“Not allowed, this game should end” he said and grabbed JoJo’s hand.
“Butter….
“Was on my way out, wasn’t planning to k-s her here” Draco said and turned to the door.
He walked out, and Snow followed him immediately.
“I’ll take you home” Butter said and took JoJo out of the restaurant.
“You knowingly pulled that stunt, right?” Winter asked beside Luna.
“I just hate what I don’t like, someone’s two-faced” Luna replied and started eating her barbeque without looking up.
Butter got out with JoJo and opened the car door for her.
“Get in, I’ll take you home” he said.
“What if don’t wanna go yet?” She replied.
“What!”
“You love ordering me like a baby, do you know that?” She said.
“JoJo…
“I didn’t tell you to take me out of the restaurant” she interrupted, and his eyes w¡dened.
“Don’t tell me you actually wanna get k-sed by that @sshole!” He said loudly.
“He’s not!….” She said loudly.
“JoJo…
“An @sshole, so don’t call him that” she said and started leaving, but he held her.
“Let me drive you home” he said with pleading eyes.
“Please?” He said, and she gave him one more glance before getting into the car.
He sighed and got in too, driving off.
****
Draco sat in a Starbuck not far from the restaurant and got his pack of cigarettes, he lightened one with his branded lighter and started smoking slowly.
He might not have k-sed JoJo before, but his head has the actual shape of her l-ips, and he has been exhausting a lotta self resistance to not k-s the hell out of them since some days ago.
The other time when he was asked who he’d love to k-s, that’s why he didn’t hesitate before saying her full name, and when James asked if he’s in love with her, he was actually gonna say yes.
Yes?,… Yes.
He might be blunt and cold and maybe ruthless, but he can define his emotions well, he’s good at figuring out what he feels, and that’s why it was easy to know he’s madly….in… love…with her.
He’s good at bottling up how he feels too, but the champagne bottle has been popped, and now the feelings are overflowing, he’s running mad with hunger and desires…for her.
He took another gentle puff from his cigarette, and Snow appeared in front of him.
“You’re in love with JoJo?” She asked, and he stood.
“You’re not my mum, I have no explanation to give” he replied and started leaving, but she suddenly hugged him from behind.
“Love me instead, I’m more beautiful and…
Draco pushed her away from himself and she staggered away.
“Yeah you’re beautiful, but can never be JoJo, and you’ll never be” he said flatly and threw down his cigar before walking away.
Snow was seething as she watched him walk away, and she suddenly s¢ræmed in anger, her voice echoing in the night air.

JOJO’S PLACE**
“Welcome back baby, how was the BBQ party?” Victoria asked when JoJo came in.
“Cool mum” she said with a smile to cover up.
“You said the anonymous person who payed my loans is your major mate?, Who’s the person?, I need to build a temple and start worsh¡pping him” Victoria said, and JoJo giggled.
“I’ll introduce him to you soon, right now he wants to remain anonymous” JoJo replied.
“We should go shop for groceries tomorrow, we need to make our palate taste something different from pie and custard” Victoria smiled.
“Ok mummy!” JoJo replied and started going in.
“JoAnn” Victoria suddenly called with the intention of telling her about what Ignatius said, but immediately JoJo looked back, she lost confidence.
“I love you” she said instead.
“I love you more mummy, goodnight” JoJo smiled and entered her room.
She immediately had her night shower and changed into one of the nighties that Snow bought for her.
A yellow coloured one of lace material, it’s see-through and equally short, giving her an incredibly s*xy look.
She tied her hair into a bun and sat in front of the mirror, then she applied her facials.
Her mind went to earlier at the restaurant when Draco called her name.
She started s–king on her l-ips while touching them, and it didn’t take long before she started imagining Draco’s l-ips on hers.
Her eyes w¡dened, and she quickly stood from the front of the mirror.
Her heart started beating fast again, and she held her chest to calm down.
“JoAnn, calm down ok?, You can do it” she said, and her phone buzzed on the bed.
She went for it and saw a message from Firefighter.
She sat and read.
FIREFIGHTER: I don’t think I’m ready to confess my feelings for my crush yet
MIMI: Why?
FIREFIGHTER: I just don’t want to do it yet, I have to get rid of the unwanted weeds first
MIMI: Unwanted???
FIREFIGHTER: Sorry I typed in riddles, you’ll understand soon…when we meet.
JoJo inhaled hærd, and her eyes caught Draco’s wristwatch on the table.
She went for it and smiled as she admired it, remembering when he gave it to her before going into that room to teach Kent a lesson.
“JoJo Collins” his manly voice sounded in her ears again, and she smiled brightly.

MYSTIC CULT HOUSE★10PM**
“Tommorow night is another SOF, but this time, it’s mainly Draco and Kelly” Stone announced, and Kelly smiled.
“This time, you guys have different targets, and whoever takes down his target first and get here before ten, gets to be my right hand” he further said.
“Yes capo” Kelly bowed.
Draco only frowned.
“Show respect Draco” Kavita said beside him.
“Sure, capo” Draco said without bowing and walked out of the house immediately.
“Capo, Draco is growing wings these days, shouldn’t we cut them off?” Kelly said.
“That decision is mine to make” Stone replied and stood
Everyone bowed as he left the house.
**
Draco was about to enter his car when Kavita held him back, and he faced her.
“Do you know you’re crossing the line?, It’ll only take one bullet from capo to finish you off” she said, and Draco smirked.
“Bullet?, he can’t even handle a gun” he said.
“What the f**k are you talking about?” Kavita said.
“We’re not in talking terms, so f*ck away” he replied and got in his car, driving away straight.
Kavita got a mail immediately, from Stone.
*MEET ME IN MY ROOM, UNCLAD*
She walked back into the house.
There’s only one room apart from the meeting hall, Stone’s room which no one has ever entered.
She made her way to the room and knocked on the iron door.
It opened on its own, and she started undressing till she took off her pants.
She went in naked, and she met masked Stone sitting on the bed.
“You’re the most respectful female assasin here, makes me wanna treat you special” he said, walking to her.
“I don’t understand, boss” she said when he finally got to her.
“Become my s*x toy, and any day you satisfy me like no woman has ever done, you’ll be the first person to see my face, what no one has ever seen” he said, grazing his fingers on her n*pples.
Kavita swallowed hærd, staring at the masked man in front of her.
“You in or not?” He said huskily, and she stepped back at once.
She climbed the bed and w¡dened her legs.
“I’m all yours boss” she said, and he chortled crookedly before undressing himself.
He climbed the bed and w¡dened her legs more, then he plunged his already er×¢t d**k right into her, still holding her legs apart.
“AHH!, Boss!!!”
He started digging deeper, deeper, and deeper into her, not f**king her as if she’s a human at all.
“F**k!, I’m dying!!!!” She cried.
*****
NEXT DAY★ STANFORD UNIVERSITY**
JoJo met lots of paparazzi in school when she arrived.
She came early cos Snow is gonna tutor her, and as she made her way to the library, she saw different posters on the bulletin boards.
Pictures of Butter and Draco, though it’s obvious they snapped Draco unawares.
It didn’t take long before she saw her pictures, Snow’s and v×rgiπia’s
“I’m one of the…. nominees?” She said surprisingly.
“Unbelievable” she smiled and entered the library, but surprisingly, Snow is not in.
“She said she’d come” she whispered, taking her seat gently in front of a guy who covered his face with a book.
Immediately she sat, he dropped the book.
“Knight!” She smiled broadly.
“So you prefer Snow’s tutorial” he said
“No she offered to teach me instead” she replied, and he sighed, getting it immediately.
“But she’s not here, we were supposed to do it this morning” she said.
“Let’s get started” he said, and she quickly brought out her books, then she sat beside him.
He started the tutorial, and she listened attentively, trying not to get distracted till he got to the middle.
She shifted her attention to him and started staring sheepishly, her heart racing as she did.
‘JoJo, Focus!’ She pinched herself but it didn’t work , so she kept staring, especially at his red l-ips.
“Do you understand?” He suddenly asked.
“Huh?” She woke up, and he looked at her.
“Are you even concentrating at all?”
“I’m … Sorry” she said slowly.
“I’m going over it again” he said, and she drew even closer, trying as much as possible not to f**k up again.
*****
5PM★ ARTS CLUB CENTER**
“I never knew you’re a member” JoJo said as she walked in with her friends.
“Of course I am, I’m in the dancers team, the best dancer ” Winter winked.
“And you Luna, you came for the audition?, How come I didn’t see you?” JoJo said.
“Well I did , and I saw you, I’m a painter” Luna replied.
Snow is not in school today, so it’s just the three of them.
“JoJo!” Butter waved from the modellers angle, and she walked to him.
Luna looked at him for a while before trying to go to her angle, but Winter blocked her.
“I saw the way you looked at him, is something up?” She said knowingly.
“What are you talking about?, Not even a chance” Luna said bluntly and went to the painters.
Winter smiled and made to go to the dancers when she bumped into James.
“Oh!, James!” She waved.
“Hi” he replied casually and made to leave, but she blocked him.
“Coffee by 7 at the Starbucks, you in?” She smiled.
“Sorry, I hate coffee” he lied and left the center.
He actually came to see Snow but she’s not around.
“Is he ever gonna notice me?” Winter sighed and walked to her team.
**
“You didn’t have to come, your legs must still hurt” JoJo said when she got to Butter.
“Wanted to see you” he smiled, and she sighed.
“I’m sorry if I’ve always sounded authoritative over you, I just always wanna have you around” he said.
v×rgiπia knowingly passed by their middle to separate them, and JoJo almost fell.
Draco almost left his camera to go grab her, but Butter grabbed her fast by the w–st.
“You ok?” He asked.
She quickly released herself.
“Yeah” she nodded.
“Oh my!, Sorry!” v×rgiπia said insincerely.
The trainings started, and for three hours straight, they’re still there.
When it’s exactly 8pm when they were done for the night, it started raining heavily, so much that no one could go home.
“I need to use the restroom” JoJo said to Butter.
“Should I escort you?” He asked, drinking from his warm milk.
“Are you kidding? ” She frowned.
“Yes” he chuckled, and she made her way to the restroom.
Draco’s eyes were following her around, and till she entered, he never stopped staring.
JoJo got to the stalls and opened the door of the restroom she felt like using, but immediately she did, her eyes w¡dened.
“Arrggghhhhhh!!!!!” She s¢ræmed.
****
BACK IN THE HALL**
“That’s JoJo’s voice!” Luna and Winter said at a time.
Draco and Butter were the first to stand, and they both ran to the restrooms madly at a time.
Luna, Winter and the rest followed.
They started searching the restrooms one by one but till they got to the last one, no sign of her.
“This is her headband” Winter said, picking it from the doorstep of one of the restrooms.
Butter snatched it from her, and he got more fearful.
“Let’s split and search the whole school” Miss Cindy suggested.
They split immediately, everyone except v×rgiπia who doesn’t wish for her to be found.
“JoJo!”
“JoJo!”
“JoJo!!”
Her name rang around the school, but none was ready to enter the rain except the trainers, Luna, Winter, Butter and Draco.
They entered the rain and started running around, the rain drenching them badly.
Butter is not tolerant to cold, so immediately he stepped into the rain, he started shaking with flu, but he cares less about himself right now.
He kept searching while shaking badly, he’s sure he’d get sick after this.
“JoJo!!!” He s¢ræmed again.
Draco went beyond the school premises, running fast as he called her name.
“JoJo!” He shouted, coming out to the back of the center.
“JoJo!” He shouted again, looking around.
He ran forward till he got to the silent road, his hair stuck to his face already as a result of the rainwater.
“JoJo!!” He shouted again, breathing heavily.
“Knight” JoJo’s voice said from behind him, and his eyes w¡dened when he heard.
He turned to that angle and saw her standing in the rain too, she’s drenched just like him.
“JoJo” he whispered and ran to her, hugging her tightly in the comfort of his arms.
“Where did you go?, Where have you been?, Why did you s¢ræm?” He asked, wrapping his arms more tightly on her.
JoJo started feeling the usual sænsati0ns she feels in his arms, the was her body curves perfectly into his own, it’s crazy.
She slowly hugged him back, and Draco pulled her closer again.
The rain was still pouring.
“It was a prank, i pranked y’all” she said gently, and he broke the hug immediately.
“Prank?”
“Yes, prank” she replied with a light smile.
Draco gave her an emotively wistful look, and she swallowed hærd as their eyes fell on their l-ips at the same time.
It’s now… OR NEVER.
“Draco…
“You’re tempting me” he muttered.
“Huh?”
“I wanna k-s you so hærd till the rain stops” he whispered, and her heartbeats became erratic instantly.
Her eyes w¡dened, but before she could talk, Draco smacked his l-ips hungrily and hærdly on hers.
Her eyes didn’t w¡den for long, cos she knotted her slender fingers tightly on his shirt by his sides, and her eyes went shut.
She started responding to it as hungrily as he’s k-sing her, and as the rain drenched them, they k-sed h-rder and wilder.
Draco slipped his arms to her w–st, devouring her l-ips more sweetly.
“Knight…” She m–ned into his mouth, and he broke the k-s instantly.
He looked straight into her eyes, and JoJo held him tighter.
“F**k” he whispered and slammed his l-ips on hers softly again in the rain.
