“I know man, but it’s not that easy.” Ben said.
“It is as easy as saying enough is enough. Ben, know where you stand before you can go ahead and break people’s hearts. I didn’t mind the rest but she is my friend.” Greg insisted before he left the room.
Ben looked at Joss who closed her eyes. He thought she was asleep. He put on his clothes, and went to the bathroom to freshen up. He was stuck between choosing to be with Joss and being the CEO of Brighton telecommunications. He had always wanted to become head of the family business but his father had told him to get married first, and get married to Lisa. He didn’t want to lose his fortune, how was he going to live without his money?
“I just wish I had a clear way out of this.” He murmured before he left Joss’ room.
Joss woke up and headed for the bathroom. She needed to freshen up before going back to the party. She turned on the shower and felt the water fall on her soft skin. She closed her eyes and remembered every single moment that Ben made love to her. She knew from that moment she was slowly falling in love with a man she hardly knew anything about.
Lisa had figured out that Ben and Joss had been missing at the same time. When Ben went back to the party, she handed him a drink.
“And where have you been Ben?” Lisa asked.
“I was getting some fresh air.” He lied.
“You took so long out there.” She continued.
“Sometimes it’s just right to be alone for a while you know.” He continued.
“I hope you weren’t with that trump Joss.” She said as she left him to go get herself a beer. He knew that at some point in his life, he would have to make a choice. For the very first time in his life, he was feeling something for a woman. He had always played around but never had he fallen for a woman like he had fallen for Joss.
He didn’t even try to go after Lisa. He was getting tired of her constant nagging and jealousy. She knew well that Ben had never been in love with her but she acted like it. She had been raised in England just as he had been. Her dad was the CEO of a sister company to Brighton Telecommunications. They had been family friends since childhood but Ben never really wanted to be associated with her at all. She was the reason why he couldn’t stay away from home and yet he didn’t know how to live without his parent’s money.
Chapter 9
Joss finally came to the living room. Most people were already so drunk but Greg and Ben seemed to be just fine. She took the space where Greg was seated.
“Hey,” She said. She was a little embarrassed for going to bed with Ben even after he had warned her against it.
“Hey sleepy head.” He smiled at him.
“I heard what you told Ben back there. I am a little ashamed of myself for sleeping with him once more but I just can’t help it.” She continued.
“He is a good guy, he just needs to come around and start his own life.” Greg said.
“Thank you for looking out for me Greg.” She said, taking a sip from Greg’s beer.
“Hey, get your own beer.” Greg joked. They laughed at that before Ben came to join them. He stood in front of Joss and smiled at her. She smiled right back.
“Get a room, please.” Greg said as he noticed the tension in the air. He had always known from the way Joss described Ben, she would eventually fall for him just that it was happening faster than he had hoped for.
“Trust me, we are trying,” Ben retorted.
Lisa came back and found the three laughing. She had been hurt. Despite knowing too well that he was not in love with her, she loved him and was determined to make him marry her. Whatever it took, she had sworn to fight for what she wanted.
“I see you guys are having fun, huh.” She said sarcastically. She reached for her purse and took out her check book.
“How much is it going to take you to leave my fiancé alone?” She asked, looking at Joss.
“Stop it Lisa. She hasn’t done anything to you.” Ben interrupted.
“Like she hasn’t. Ben, since we came here you haven’t bothered where I have been. You can’t even look at me.” Lisa said, almost shedding tears.
“It’s because I am not clingy Lisa. I am not always on your neck like you are. I need some space sometimes.” Ben said angrily. He was pissed off with her behavior. “And by the way, some things cannot be bought using money.”
“Oh, I thought she is just a cheap whore looking for some cash.” Lisa said, looking at Joss from head to toe.
“Hey, careful what you say lady.” Joss knew she had to stand up for herself at this moment. “I may not have been raised a millionaire but at least am not chasing someone who doesn’t want me.” She added.
“What did you just say?” Lisa asked, putting her purse down, in preparation to attack Joss.
“Ladies, ladies, this is not your fight to fight. We all want something and we go for whatever matters to us. So Ben, chose who you want to be with, it’s not worth fighting over this.” Greg interrupted, holding Joss’.
“Actually you’re right Greg.” Joss was saying. “Ben, you want a life where you don’t want to ever work for anything? Here, you have Lisa to go home with but this is who I am. I would never choose money over my own happiness.” She said.
Ben had not been aware that she had been listening to them earlier. He was caught up in the middle.
“I just can’t make that choice now you know.” Ben was saying when Joss interrupted.
“It’s not a thinker Ben, you want your money, and this is how the rest of your life looks like. You are going to spend your life running away from home simply because you are stuck with the wrong person.” Joss said.
“The only wrong person her is you Joss. I have grown up with Ben; I know every little thing about him. Things you will never know about him.” Lisa said.
“It’s good you know everything about him but you are missing the point here; you don’t make him happy. He is not in love with you. Now choke on that” Joss said, leaving the room. She went to where she had kept the whiskey she had bought that morning. She poured herself a little and drank it in a flash.
“You may want to slow down on that Joss.” Greg warned as he held her by her shoulders.
“The last time I drank this thing I puked my heart out. You should have seen Ben holding my hair back. I was wasted.” She said in a loud laughter.
Ben and Lisa were still arguing in the living room until Ben got irritated and walked out on her. He joined Greg and Joss in the kitchen. He also poured himself a glass of whiskey.
“You know what guys, you are right. I need to look into my life and get control over it.” Ben said. “And I choose you.” He said.
“You what?” Joss asked him. It wasn’t anything she had expected to come from him.
“I know it sounds crazy and am not drunk,” ben insisted. He needed to be happy, at least once.
“Where is Lisa?” Greg asked.
“She just drove off. We broke up.” Bed said.
“I am so sorry you guy broke up. I didn’t mean that you should break up, it’s just that sometimes you have to risk everything you’ve got just to be happy.” Joss said.
“It’s okay. That was no way to live. I am switching odd my cell phone. My dad is going to be so mad at me.” Ben said. Joss caressed softly on his arm to reassure him.
“I know you will deal with it over time.” Greg said. “I dealt with my dad. Remember the day he literally threw me out of the house when you guys watched? I didn’t know what to start but am doing just fine.”
“You should have seen your face that night. It was priceless.” Ben laughed at him.
“You should look at your face right now. Who’s laughing now?” Greg teased.
“I think we should get super drunk now that everyone is gone. You will deal with your dad tomorrow when you’re hangover as hell.” Joss suggested.
Everybody grabbed a tot glass and the fun started. They tossed at anything and in two hours, they were all drunk to the ground. All Ben
could say was Joss’ name. He had never been drunk like he was that night. Greg passed out on the couch and left Joss and Ben who were making out on the floor. She had never felt that attracted to someone like she was attracted to Ben. She held his hand and they both staggered their way to her bedroom. She dropped him on the bed and started kissing him wildly. There must have been something about Ben that kept her hooked on him. He was so aroused and at the same time drunk. Joss kissed her way to his bulging crotch. She undid his jeans and released his erection. Without much hesitation, she wrapped her lips around him and started rolling her tongue on his tip. Ben grunted with pleasure. She then took him in her mouth moving up and down, slowly at first but increased her pace. Ben grunted and called her name but she wouldn’t stop. He grabbed by the head to slow her down. He then picked her up and laid her on the bed. He quickly came on top of her and entered her in one thrust. She let out a loud moan but Ben continued. He increased his pace and force until they collapsed on the bed and finally fell asleep.
That was the best night of Ben’s life. He had never been free of his parents and Lisa. He had let them control his life even as an adult. That morning, Ben woke up to switch on his phone only to get his father’s emails. He had been mad the whole night since Lisa called him to tell them what had happened. His parents could not understand how Ben could have been that stupid to fall for a peasant. How on earth could he betray his father’s trust in him? He had chosen to go away and that was it. His mother had left him a voice message;
You may run away Ben but you will never find a woman like Lisa. I will be coming to your cousin’s the first thing morning.
Before he finished listening to the messages, Greg knocked on their bedroom door. He pushed it open.
“Hey, your mother is here. You’re in for it.” Greg warned.
Ben woke up and dressed up before he went to the living room. His mother and her assistant were standing in the middle of the room.
“Hey mom.” He said, pretending like nothing was really wrong that morning.
“So you want to tell me whatever happened between you and Lisa?” She was angry with him.
“Mom, she wasn’t the person who I wanted to be with.” Ben tried to explain himself but his mother cut him short.
“And whoever put all that nonsense in your head?” His mother asked. “You are going to her place and apologize to her. She will take you back and everything will go back to normal. And that’s solved.” She turned to live the house but Ben called her out.
“Mom, that is never going to happen. I really want to live my life my own way.” He said. At this point he didn’t fear his mother like he used to.
“I am taking away everything from you.” She threatened before exiting the apartment.
“Are you okay, Ben?” Joss had been listening to the conversation but had decided not to interrupt. It was Ben to fight for whatever he believed in.
“Yeah,” Ben said. Looking out the window, his mother burned down his motor cycle, the only asset he had acquired on his own. “My mother is crazy.” He sighed before going back to bed. It felt like something had been lifted off his shoulders but he knew he had to look for a job, or a way to live without depending on his cancelled credit cards.
“And the life begins.” Greg teased. “Hey, it’s all going to work out man. Actually if you need a job, the restaurant has an open position for bartending.”
“Oh, really? I have never done that in my life before.” Ben interjected.
“We all start from somewhere Ben.” Joss said, placing a soft kiss on his lips.
“Yes. She is right.” Greg added.
A few weeks later, Ben had settled in well at his new job. His parents had not talked to him since he broke up with Lisa but he was happy. They would go to work together and get back home all together. One morning, Joss woke up feeling sick and worn out. She had been feeling fatigued for days now until she decided to go to the hospital. Greg was happy to drive her to the hospital since Ben was working that day. The doctor looked at her after taking several tests on her.
“Congratulations, you are expecting a child.” He said smiling at her.
Joss didn’t know whether to be happy or scared. She didn’t know what she was going to tell Ben. How could she have been that careless? Her life had just started and now she was carrying another life inside of her.
“I am pregnant?” That was all she managed to tell the doctor. She didn’t know what to say about it.
Greg drove her back home but he noticed she was awfully quiet.
“What’s with you?” He asked. “Nothing. The doctor says am just fatigued and I need to rest.” She lied.
She had never been that scared all her life. She decides to tell Ben about the child that night after his shift. However, she was not sure how he was going to take the news.
“Ben, we need to talk.” She said when he got home.
“Hey, what’s wrong baby?” Ben asked in a concerned voice.
“I am carrying your child.” She finally managed to say.
“Wait, what?” he was startled and happy at the same time. He didn’t know what to say but he also couldn’t hide his joy.
“Well?” Joss asked when Ben wouldn’t say anything.
“I have a surprise too, I got us an apartment three blocks from here.” He said, smiling from ear to ear. “That’s where we are going to raise our baby.”
Joss smiled at him warmly and he kissed her on the lips. She had been doubtful about it but a part of her knew that Ben would not let her down.
“I am going to be a father.” Ben kept saying all through dinner. He finally realized the meaning of life.
Despite his parent’s disowning him, there was only one good thing going on in his life; the love of his life and the child they were expecting. They moved to their new apartment two weeks later and lived happily ever after.

Chapter 1
Amy parked her blood red Mustang outside the front door of her best friend’s house. Dressed in a plain white summer dress and white heels, Amy looked nothing less than a movie star. Every girl in school envied her perfect body and flawless face. She looked like a goddess and spoke like a gangster.
Despite being one of the best looking girls in school, Amy had no interest in being amongst the popular kids. She was quite content in her skin and preferred the company of the girl she knew since the last 8 years.
“Rhonda! Will you come out already! We are really late. It’s the last day of school and I don’t want to be yelled at for coming late. PLEASE GET OUT!” Amy screamed into the phone.
Rhonda had switched on her loudspeaker and was hurriedly running about putting on her clothes and trying to find the right shoes for the outfit. In their entire school life, there was not a single day that Rhonda got dressed on time. It made Amy really furious but by now she was used to it. Even though she knew how futile it was to yell at Rhonda, Amy still did it out of habit.
“I am coming! I am coming! Can you please stop honking! God Amy!” said Rhonda.
“You are the one who is late. Stop yelling at me you stupid bitch.” saying this Amy slapped Rhonda lightly on her breast.
“AMY I will kill you.” said Rhonda trying to hit her back, but missing each time.
“Hey! Watch out! I am driving. You cannot hit the driver, don’t you know that you naughty little slut.” said Amy, this time grabbing her breast hard.
“Amy you are the worst.” said Rhonda, who was quite comfortable by Amy’s touch.
Amy and Rhonda were popular for their shenanigans in school. They were the bad girls, who always got caught doing all the wrong things possible. Either they Amy would be caught making out with some boy or Rhonda would be sent to detention for smoking in the girl’s bathroom. They did everything together.
“Oh please! I didn’t do it when I went to school why would I do it now.” said Rhonda
Amy just rolled her eyes and kept driving
“Can’t believe school is over! Damn I feel so grown up.”, said Rhonda
“Please Rhonda, stop all your drama, you didn’t care a bit about school” said Amy teasingly.
“So have you thought of anyone for date to the dance?”
“Date to the dance? You mean the prom?” asked Rhonda
“Yes dumbass.” Replied Amy.
“Why would I need anyone, I always go with you.” said Rhonda. “Why did you find anyone? “Asked Rhonda
Amy didn’t answer. One of the boys she was fooling around with asked her out for the Prom, but she had put him on hold till she confirmed Rhonda’s plan. They were more than best friends, they were sisters.
“Oh I almost forgot to tell you?” said Rhonda “My parents are planning a trip to the beach house to spend some quality time together before I move out.
“That sounds epic Ro!” said Amy.
“Yes, and you are coming with me. I have already spoken to my parents and they obviously said you could come.” said Rhonda
“That is so much better than spending our time in this boring town. So when are we leaving? “Asked Amy.
“This weekend!” replied Ro.
“Sounds like a plan.” said Amy.
