Two days later "What the hell were you thinking, Darina?!" Saira heard Ethan's voice from a distance as she neared the Hospitality management department. She'd injured herself while going down the stairs in the girls hostel this morning so she'd gone to the school clinic for a check up. Unfortunately for her, she'd fractured her wrist - the one she wrote with and it hurt like hell."Excuse me for trying to defend my territory Ethan." Darina snapped. "I couldn't watch her steal you from me.""This again?" He cried. "We're over!""We're never going to be over Ethan Delnoi, never." She jabbed her finger in his chest. "You're mine and no one else's. Anyone who gets in my way will face the same consequences.""You're lucky your father talked Kiara's dad out of throwing you in jail or else your bratty ass will be behind bars right now.""It was just a minor accident! It's not like she's dead or something." Darina waved it away."And you wonder why I don't like you." Ethan said. "You're a h
Everyone stared at Saira as she remained glued to her seat. A little mistake was a crime in professor Brown's book so they all knew better than to get on the man's bad side."I'm sorry sir." Saira pleaded tearfully."Your test paper or you won't sit for my exam." Brown threatened.Saira slowly stood up with her bag clutched to her chest and picked up the paper then walked down the aisle to hand over the paper to Brown."I'll forfeit mine for hers." Ethan spoke up, shocking everyone.Brown stared at Ethan in shock. "What did you say?"Ethan stood up. "Let her write the test and cancel mine.""She's the perpetrator, not you." Brown said."I know that. She can't afford to fail this test or her exam but I can, so let her take the test and cancel mine." Ethan insisted."Is she your girlfriend?" Brown asked.The students began to murmur wondering the same thing. They'd never seen him defend a femal student before so it was like a shock to all of them."She's a friend." Ethan said. "I don't
Saira took a step back at the biting tone of his voice. He'd never spoken to her like that before and she was suddenly scared but she didn't show it. "I asked you a question Saira." Daniel snapped."I went out." She replied. "Can't I go out anymore?""Out where? I told you I was going to take you to the hospital but imagine my surprise when I didn't see you in your class after the test you claimed you were going to write was over." He chuckled dryly."I did write the test. It was almost cancelled because of your text message but thank God...""What do you mean it was almost cancelled?" He cut her off brusquely."Professor Brown cancelled my test and threatened not to let me write his exam if I didn't get out of the hall but... Ethan stood up for me and his test was cancelled instead." She answered."Ethan? Is it Ethan Delnoi or another one?" Daniel couldn't believe his ears. "He took the fall for a girl.""Is that so hard to believe?" She lifted her chin in defiance."Of course! What
A week later"Ethan!" Saira gasped and sat up in bed abruptly. She'd been having a romantic dream that had turned into a tragic one and it concerned Ethan. She turned on her bedside lamp and took her phone with a shaky hand then quickly clicked on Ethan's number and put the phone to her ear."Hello." Ethan replied groggily."Oh thank God." Saira sighed in relief. "Saira?" His voice became alert. "Are you okay?""Yes but are you?" She asked."I'm fine. Is something wrong?" He asked."Uh..." She paused and looked at Anne's sleeping figure then stood up and walked into the bathroom. "I had a terrible dream about you.""Dream? What was it about?""Er... Can't really remember it now but I'm scared." She said. "I can't lose you."Ethan sighed. "It's just a dream, Saira. Nothing's going to happen to me. I promise." He assured her."Okay. I miss you." She said in a small voice."Same here." He replied huskily. "I need to kiss you Saira. It's been hell for me wanting you but not being able to
"No let me go!" Saira tried to free herself as the three ladies dragged her to the bathroom. "Let me go!""Stay put or you'll injure yourself again!" Kaisha snapped at her."Like you don't want to do just that now." Saira snapped back.They dragged her into the bathroom and deposited her on a chair in front of the tub then Diana tied her to the chair using a rope and stepped back."What is your relationship with Ethan Delnoi?" Darina asked again."I told you, he's my friend! What more do you want?" She hissed. "Ethan Delnoi never befriends girls! All he does is sleep with them so I'll ask you again and for the last time... What is your relationship with Ethan Delnoi?" Darina questioned impatiently."He's my friend." She replied through gritted teeth. "My friend!""Drown her." Darina ordered.Saira let out a scream before her head was submerged in the bathtub for about a minute and some seconds then she was pulled out. She coughed so hard spewing water from her mouth that her sides st
"Anne." Saira gasped and pulled away from Ethan. "I'm sorry for... interrupting." She apologized blushing beet root red. "Excuse me." She slipped out and closed the door."What have we done?" Saira began to pace to and fro in the small bathroom. "What if she spills our secret?""Relax." Ethan told her. "Change while I go talk to her.""Be nice to her please." She pleaded."Change." He said and walked out.Anne jumped as the bathroom door slammed and she turned to look at Ethan Delnoi who had an indecipherable expression on his face."H... Hi." She stammered. "I just... I just came to see if she's alright.""Did you see anything?" He asked her."Like what?" She feigned ignorance guessing that was what he expected from her.Ethan smirked. "Good. Breathe a word of what you saw and let's just say... you'll cease to talk until you die." He threatened in a calm menacing voice.Anne swallowed. "I swear that I won't say a word to anyone." She lifted her hand to her chest. "Scout's honor.""P
Ethan stopped short when he got to the second floor and saw Daniel waiting in front of Saira's door. He leaned against the wall and crossed his ankles waiting to see if Saira would open the door for him and the door opened alright but it was Anne who met him."I'm sorry but she can't see you now." Ethan read her lips. "She's asleep.""Is she okay?" Daniel asked."Yes. The medicine she takes for her hand makes her sleep. I'll tell her you came by when she wakes up." Anne said."Okay." Daniel sighed. "Please tell her I'm very sorry and that I love her.""Sure." Anne nodded. "You look like hell.""I'm good." Daniel assured her and walked away only to stop when he saw Ethan and his expression changed almost immediately. "I hope you're here to see someone else and not my Saira.""And you will stop me from seeing her?" Ethan scoffed. "Of course. She's my girlfriend and not yours." Daniel replied."Isn't this the same attitude that made her ignore you?" Ethan questioned. "Now you're doing t
"You're going to stay in this bed until you're better." He pushed her back to lie down and wrapped her like a burrito with her duvet."I'm kinda claustrophobic." She informed him."Are you really?" He arched a brow then bent to whisper in her ear. "Does this mean you'll be on top when we finally do it?""You and who?" She scrunched up her face.Ethan laughed. "Wanna bet?""Nope." She shook her head."This has been a long time coming S and it's going to happen. You know that, right?" He asked her."It'll only be in your dreams Delnoi." Saira sighed. "Fine, I won't go anywhere. Just let me out of this thing."Ethan released her but still covered her with the duvet. "I'll jot down whatever the professor says just like you do so you can read." He told her."You'll do that for me?" She looked surprised."I told you that you're weirdly special." He tweaked her nose. "You're so sweet." She grinned.Ethan rolled his eyes and got off the bed. "This is 12:05 Anne. I'll be back twenty five minu
