The week was so fast as if in a relay race. it was sprinting quite fast that everyone was so happy that Monday would come very fast. Finally, it was Monday and everyone had gladly met in school with their luggage. They were about moving when someone screamed.
"Where's Patrick?" The bus halted. It was then they knew he had been running after the bus since. He entered and they moved.
"Look at the ocean y'all " Someone called the attention of them to it. "Wow" They chorused except Patrick who was having a fake sleep so to say with his headset on. Elisha looked at him and smirked
"So, that rude brat do sleep!" Everyone got back to their seat after a wonderful look at the ocean. After two hours, they got to their destination and everyone got down. It was an inn close to the mountain. The class president got out and announced.
"Three girls in a room, three guys in a room" Some of them had alcohol with them. When it was night and they had to play flipping bottles, they brought it out as an option for those that couldn't bear the consequences of their action. They flipped the bottle and Elisha and Patrick got hooked. They were to kiss each other and be a couple for a week. At first, Elisha had thought Patrick would refused so she requested they pour her a cup but he collected the cup from her and without hesitating, their lips glued to each other. Others had to close their eyes.
"Oh my!.. That dude is a good kisser" Ella whispered into Mila's ear That night, the chemistry started.
***************************************
Elisha rose up from her bed where she had been dreaming way back to her past. She stood staring at herself in the mirror for some times before screaming out loud. probably, a way to yell out her agony. She loved Patrick more than anything and had shared a lot with him. Even when nobody knew she was from a wealthy family, she divulged the secret to Patrick. Her father was the chairman of OK construction and the number one in the country know for its wealthiness. However, nobody knew even when they were in secondary school that she was from a wealthy family because she was a neglected heiress.
She walked up into the bathroom and had a nice shower before making her way into the kitchen where she made herself a light meal. The breakfast was interrupted by a phone call.
"The chairman ordered that all his children come for dinner" A shaky feminine voice spoke with authority that made her shaky voice firm.
"Do I have to?" Elisha replied rudely "Yes" She hung up. Elisha lost appetite for her food. She got herself busy by ruminating on the reason chairman might wanted to see all his children.
Patrick would follow her no doubt because the only person that could overpowered him was the chairman. He wasn't in support of their wedding. So, they had to pretend to be a happy couple in front of the him.. Patrick knew how much Elisha loved him . Knowing fully well that she couldn't report him to the chairman made him neck deep into using violence.
Through the chairman status, he rose to stardom and his books were recognized worldwide as a writer.One little mistake from him, everything he had built would be crushed right before his own eyes. Just when Elisha was busy thinking of this, Patrick came in.
"Hey honey. I brought you a gift" He said with a smiling face that lit his cute face. Elisha gave him no reply. She just walked out to her bedroom upstairs.
"Honey!!!!"He ran after her . She was already in the bedroom when he caught up with her. Elisha was on her phone with no concern showing on her face. He knelt down from the door and crawled to her.
"Honey. I'm sorry. You know I love you." He said trying to put on a sober face.
"I guess the chairman called you " Elisha said before bursting into uncontrollable laughter.
"For how long do you want to be like this shameless animal?" Patrick stood up angrily and threw the gift at her.
"I knew that was just you acting. Show your real self dude! I dare you to. You touch me and see your life go down the drain" Elisha said moving close to her angry husband whose face had turned red like fire as if challenging him to touch her.
"See ya.. You can't do anything "She laughed and beat his broad chest before going back to sit on the bed. Their bedroom was a luxurious one . It had a very big bed that could accommodate at least five people. There was a luxurious wardrobe at one side of the room . Beside the wardrobe was somewhere designed like a small room. That was where Elisha do dress up and do all her makeover. She stood up and opened her wardrobe that was full of rare designer wears. She checked out ..
She checked a red gown on her. It was very short but it had her curves out.
"What do you think? We are going to be a fake couple in few minutes time anyway" Patrick looked at her and nodded as if to say what a beauty! He do behave like an animal but he would always compliment his wife's dressings. Elisha went ahead to complete her dressings.She added her strawberry lip gloss, lashes and a white stilettos before having her wig on.
She looked elegant that Patrick could no longer resist the beauty. He slowly moved close to her with his jaw dropped. Elisha ready for him , lean against the dressing table and exposed her thighs. Her fair complexion shone like diamond.
"You're the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. I want you in my arms".
He hugged her from the back, his hand gently caressing her waist. Elisha moved her head back, look into his eyes romantically before the kisses follow. They moved to the bed and Patrick pushed her to the bed , hastily removing his shirt.
"Stop Patrick! It's almost 8. Dress up And let's go" Elisha stood up as if nothing happened.
