⋞ THE BASKETBALL MATCH (1) ⋟

She bowed and rushed to get it, she stucked all the files in her hands at once, walking back to him,just as she was about getting to him…

She slipped on something and began falling, she shut her eyes hoping to hoping to feel the bare ground but, she landed on his laps instead.

Lyric eyes widened.

She immediately sprunged up before Leonardo could say a word.

“I’m so… sorry” She stuttered and bowed lightly.

“The files” Leonardo said, avoiding her eyes.

Lyric placed it on his table, and Leonardo looked up.

“You can go” He said

“The meeting….”

“I’ll let you know, when I’m ready” He cuts her off.

Lyric turned, and left the office. She got back to her post, and immediately she settled down, she took off the heels,and Sia turned to her.

“Don’t tell you got tired of wearing those already?” She asked funnily.

“Obviously, do you have any spare sneakers I can borrow?” She asks.

“Too bad I don’t, why would want to take off those? They look pretty on you” Sia commended.

“I know but It’s been long since I wear something like this”

“That may be the reason, but you shouldn’t take it off until you got back from the meeting… you know so you can look more presentable” Sia smiled.

Lyric nodded, turning back to her laptop screen. Her mind went to the office scene, how did she end up falling in his arms and how come he didn’t get mad at her?

Was all her mind filled with.

“Stop thinking about that Lyric, it is not important!” She murmured to herself.

HOURS LATER

“Thank you so much for your time and help miss Lyric, we really appreciate a lots” Mr Ling said to Lyric as soon as the meeting ended.

“It’s nothing sir, it’s part of my work here anyway” She smile back.

“I still think I should thank you formally, they wouldn’t have agreed to sign the contract if not for your idea!” Mr Ling added.

Lyric only bowed with a smile.

“I’m really grateful and I hope you can continue doing a great job to HCT” He stretched his hand for a handshake and Lyric took it formerly.

The board members took turns in greeting her before existing the meeting room, leaving only Leonardo.

She turned to see him and thier gaze met, Leonardo quickly stood, walking out already. Lyric grabbed his stuffs, rushing after him.

They got back to the office and she placed the reports on his desk, turning to leave…

“Lyric?” Leonardo suddenly called and Lyric turned.

“Do you need me to make a coffee for you?” She asks, immediately.

“No i just want to express my deepest gratitude for all of your hard work and dedication. Your contributions to the company have been invaluable, and I couldn’t have done it without you. You’ve truly gone above and beyond the call of duty, and I appreciate everything you do” Leonardo said at once.

Lyric was taken by surprise at first, she never expect him to uttered those words.

“Thanks sir! Thanks for letting me work for you as well” She responded with a smile.

Leonardo nodded.

“You can go back to your post” He said.

Lyric started walking out. Leonardo eyes followed her till she was finally out of sight.

“Why am I even staring at her? Goodness what is wrong with me today?”Leonardo said.

MARVEL CAFE

Gianna stepped out of the cafe, a delicious muffin in one hand and her purse in the other. She was lost in thought, enjoying the morning sun and the taste of her pastry, when suddenly a hand grabbed her bag and yanked it away.

Gianna gasped and spun around, only to see a masked figure sprinting down the street. She was shocked and furious, and she began chasing after the thief.

But the thief was fast, and he was quickly gaining ground. Gianna felt a sense of panic rising within her, she was too tired but she wouldn’t give up.

Just then, Gianna heard a loud shout behind her.

“Hey, stop!” she heard a guy yell. She turned and saw a tall, dark-haired man running toward her, his eyes fixed on the thief .

She didn’t see him properly but she knew who it will turn out to be.

Dean, Her stalker.

Dean was gaining on the thief, and in a matter of seconds, he was right on his heels.

The masked guy saw Dean gaining on him, and he increased his oace.He made a sharp turn down a side street, but Dean was too fast for him.

Dean caught up to the thief and tackled him to the ground. The thief struggled to break free, but Dean held him in a firm grip. He grabbed the purse from him, and immediately he saw Gianna walking towards them, he let go of him and the thief took of to his heels.

Gianna caught up to them, panting and out of breath. She was still in shock, but she was relieved that her bag had been returned to her.

“Thank you,” she said to Dean, looking at him weirdly. She was neither grateful or pleased. She just hate his sight so much.

“It’s no problem. I couldn’t just let him get away with it,” Dean smiled

“Are you okay?” He asked, afterwards.

Gianna nodded, and began walking away from him. Dean caught up with her.

“Is that all I got from saving you?'” He said.

“What more do you want?” Gianna halted.

“You!” Dean blurted.

Gianna raised her eyebrows.

“Kidding, treat me to a drink!” Dean said.

“Fine, if that will stop you from bothering me” Gianna sighed.

Dean nodded.

9PM••RIVERA MANSION

Eclipse entered her house and was immediately welcomed with the sound of raised voices coming from the living room.She peered around the corner and saw her parents, Julio and Bella, standing across from each other, their faces flushed with anger.

“I don’t understand why you’re being so stubborn about this, Lyric is our daughter, and she needs our help” Bella said, her voice rising in frustration.

“I won’t repeat myself again Bella, Lyric won’t come back to this house and it’s final!” Julio shrieked angrily, her voice rising to match hers.

“But Julio she’s still our daughter, even if she did wrong! Aren’t we supposed to be there for her?”

“Shut the fvck, I never want to see the face of that disgrace you daughter near me, you hear that?” He snapped and left.

Bella sank unto the couch, tears threatened to fall from her eyes. Eclipse walk to her.

“You’re still looking for big sis?” She asks, when she got to her.

Bella looked up.

“I never stop looking for my daughter, I really want to see her or at least know if she’s doing fine… It’s been five years, am a bad mother?” Bella muttered,sadly.

Eclipse hugged her.

“It’s not your fault. Dad didn’t give her the chance to explain herself before kicking her out that night! I miss her too, but what why does he hate her so much?” She asks.

“I don’t care about him, all I know is I want to find my daughter alone. I want her back home… It’s been five years, I’m really worried Eclipse” Bella added.

“Let’s hope she’s doing fine, and I’m sure we’ll find her soon”

HERNANDEZ ESTATE

Leonardo and Mikaela sat at the dinner table, the only sound the clinking of their forks against their plates.

“Can I ask something?” ” She put down her fork and looked at Leonardo.

“Go on…”

“Can you make him my personal bodyguard? Please?!” She blunted and Leonardo gave her a weird look, before he spoke.

“No”

“Why?” Mikaela smile fell.

“No reason, choose anyone else but him” Leonardo said, looking away from her.

Mikaela frowned.

They began eating quitely again, not without Mikaela squeezing her face constantly hoping he would change his mind but he didn’t even spare her a glance.

She stood and left for her room, Leonardo only glance at her once, before returning his gaze to Chase.

“Eat more!” He smiled as he petted the dog.

Mikaela entered her room, slamming the door behind her angrily. She fell on her bed and her phone buzzed immediately. It’s actually a text from Kelly. She sighed before clicking the message box.

KELLY: Are you awake?

She sat up and began typing a reply.

MIKAELA: No, Why??

KELLY: Just wanted to remind about tomorrow.

That, was when she remembered about the Basketball tournament he had invited her to.

“Oh my gawd” She gasped.

MIKAELA: Of course I wouldn’t miss it, so… see you tomorrow. Goodnight 😊

She sent and dropped her phone.

Almost immediately, another text came in.

“Can you let me breath for once?” She mumbled, as she open the text only to found out it’s from Mikaela.

💌 Gist me baby, Did I agree??

💌 He didn’t, so annoying!

💌 Do you think he knew you like him??

💌 I don’t think so, before I forget can you come with me to Kelly’s match tomorrow?? I don’t want to go alone.

💌 I’m sorry Micky, I and Mom are organizing a search for my sister.

💌 it’s okay, I hope you find her soon.

She sighed softly and placed her phone on her bedstand,and lied down, slowly drifting to sleep.

SATURDAY •• D&D MANSION

Dylan sat at his desk, staring at his laptop screen. His eyes were fixed on the lines of text that scrolled across the screen. It was an old conversation between him and Eclipse throughout the year.

As he read through the messages, he felt a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. He couldn’t help but chuckle at some of their exchanges, remembering how much fun they’d had together. But then he noticed someone behind him, and his smile vanished.

Dylan quickly slammed his laptop shut and spun around in his chair to see his twin brother, Dave, standing in the doorway.

“What do you want?” Dylan asked.

Dave arched an eyebrow at Dylan, a knowing smirk playing on his lips.

“What were you reading that was so funny? You didn’t even noticed my presence” he asked, crossing his arms over his chest. “And why did you close the laptop so fast when I walked in?”

“It’s none of your business” he said.

Dave rolled his eyes.

“Can I get Eclipse number?” He asks.

“Why?” Dylan furrowed her eyes.

“Cos I like her… Can you tell me he likes and dislikes too? Or you might as well send my all your chatting so I can know her better than you” Dave smirked.

“I know you Dave, don’t even try to play her”

“And what are you gonna do? Didn’t you start the sh!t when you send my pics to her instead of yours, cos you’re ashamed of your body?” Dave mocked.

Dylan folded his fist.

“I’m warning you. I don’t care about all you’ve taken from me ever since we were kids but Eclipse is off limit, leave her out of this!”

“Watch me do it, dear twin brother…” Dave smirks, and left.

NATIONAL BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

Mikaela stood at the entrance to the rec center, a little nervous about what to expect.

She had never been to one of these basketball tournaments before, and she was unsure if she would really do well.

As she walked into the gym, she could hear the sounds of sneakers squeaking on the floor and the raucous cheers of the crowd. She scanned the gym, trying to spot her Kelly. Then, she saw a familiar face on the court, dribbling a basketball.

“Princeton!” She call out in shock.

Princeton fumbled the ball, startled by the sound of her voice. He turned to look at her, his expression one of surprise.

“Ma’am Mika, what are you doing here?” Princeton asked. Mikaela could see the confusion on his face, as if he couldn’t believe she was really there.

“I came to watch the game, for a friend” she replied, gesturing to the court.

“You play basketball too?” She added.

Princeton was about replying when a voice interrupt from the back.

“Micky!!” Kelly’s voice rang out from behind her, and Mikaela turned to see him jogging up to them.

“You really came!” Kelly said when he got to them.

“Of course, I told you I won’t miss it” She replied. Kelly and Princeton’s gaze locked, and Mikaela was quick to notice that they are rivary.

“Wait a minute, you and Princeton are opponent? What the f*ck?” Mikaela asks, her eyes darting between the two of them.
