Episode 6

Joshua

" I'll do it .. I'll be your fu*k mate" I replied with much excitement.

"You're doing well" She rubbed her hands on my face and scurried out of the room.

I heaved a huge sigh before falling back on the chair.

" What's going to happen if Lia finds out ?" I asked myself rhetorically.

Shaquan

" Mom, please I want you to stop thinking of me and Lia as a couple" I tried stopping her.

" I'll be the world happiest if that girl can be your wife" Her hopes her just too high.

"She can never be my girlfriend talkless of becoming my wife" I laugh hysterically and ruffled my hair.

" The thing is your mom had a shocking dream" Dad blurted out and before he'll continue mom dragged him away.

I wobbled to my room and get Stark naked immediately getting ready to shower.

The water stopped running just when I had begun to wash my face, I couldn't see where the towel was.

" What causes this ?" I gaze around after wiping my face with the towel and noticed the pipe was damaged.

It took me a while to drag myself to the second bathroom and I received a call the moment I got out of the bathroom.

"Hey, Shaquan" though the number wasn't saved I knew who it was.

"Why are you calling me," I ask harshly, fiddling my fingers.

"Just wanted to tell you this, I enjoyed the kiss," she said sexily and wouldn't stop giggling.

This girl is crazy.

I ended the call angrily and put my phone on airplane mode because she wouldn't stop calling.

Next Day

Scarlett

"Hello manager" I talked flirtily.

"Why are you calling me ?"He half yelled, making me look like a stranger.

"I know you'll do this, Come to the hotel we met the last time. I have a huge offer for you" I tried cajoling him.

"You must be a fool for thinking I'll come over, your video was a flop and you think I'll get you on the show!" He raised his voice higher this time.

I ended the call and send him the video I took the other day, I crossed my legs on the couch waiting for his arrival cos I'm very sure he'll be here.

Like I said earlier, he'll soon be here.

He's here.

" You're shameless you know" I stand up from the couch to see him standing vigorously.

" It's not up to that man, Just get me on the show, It'll be a huge benefit to us " I touched his chest slightly.

" What are you planning on doing if I get you on the show, being on the show doesn't guarantee your popularity" he replied in a rather harsh tone.

"I plan to tamper with the stage works, I'll save Shaquan and go viral for saving him, that's all" I couldn't stop myself from laughing and it was evil.

"You must be crazy" He snarled at me.

"Please just get me on the show, I'll Do Anything" I crouched to his leg, holding onto it tightly.

" Okay, Give me the video you have and let me go deep again" He suggested but I will not allow that until I'm sure.

" You can go deep but the video is mine till I get on the show" I held his tie before kissing him.

" Moron" I murmured.

Lia

I was still debating on whose clothes to wear when I received an anonymous message. I quickly tap to check it.

*Are you sure you're your boyfriend's girlfriend ?*That question got me thinking differently.

Who could have sent this? Whoever sent this must have a reason.

I glare at the two bags, unsure of whom to choose and finally, I chose to follow my heart.

It's the same thing after all< I parked my hair in a ponytail and used a light lipstick.

I took a taxi headed to Joshua's coffee shop to tell him about my plans today.

" Thanks," I said to the driver and glance at his shop.

I spotted the same woman I saw with him yesterday and just as I was about to get closer, he helps her in tucking her scattered strands of hair.

This isn't enough proof to make me assume anything so I tried walking over but my phone disrupted the moment.

"Hello" I knew it was the Fan's president.

"Why haven't we seen Quan?" She asks curiously.

"Soon to be there" I lied when I'm not even sure of my Idol location.

I left Joshua's shop and sent a message to Quan and he replied immediately.

"I'm at Ace" he sent the message and I drove there without hesitation.

"Let's go, the place is crowded already," I said to him as I jump into the car.

"Quan" the crowd cheered and called out loudly, he waved and walked gently.

"Quan is here " A lady's voice went so deep like a speaker.

"Oh my God!! He's shining"

"I must kiss you Shaquan!!"

" Let me be your girlfriend for a day " I almost laughed at hearing this.

He smiled brilliantly at the fans when walking to the stage.

"Shake shake, shake it off !" He screams his favorite line to the fan and everyone begins to shake their body.

That line meant whatever you have in your mind that's bothering you or making you feel down you should just shake it off.

The fan signing was very tiring but I'm very happy that it was different than any other one we've done in the past.

Everyone signed in order and there was no fighting or argument, with Shaquan's new song playing underground, the fans were so happy.

"Thank you so much for Coming Quannie, I Love you" He squealed happily as soon as the fan signing ended.

The anchor has been calling me because this was late than expected.

" Are you telling me not to rest before going up the stage?" He asks, sounding angry

" No, just that the anchor is .."

"The company said we're on vacation and I'm busy with schedules during this idiotic vacation" He complains, directing with his hands.

"Idiotic vacation, At Least it's bringing revenue to your pocket" I hissed and slam the door on him.

Far from there

"Today we're having the One and Only Shaquan on MTV!" The anchor shouted with excitement written all over everyone's face.

" Hi, Quannies" He waved his hands and smiled buoyantly.

" We'll also be having an upcoming artist along with him …welcome Scarlett to the show" Few people cheered.

Among the people that didn't cheer or acknowledge her presence, I was among. Her presence irks me.

"In order not to waste much time, let's start from the main points. What gives you the most joy?" She asked and everyone was eager to hear what he was going to say.

"There are two things, first is The cheers and support from my fans and also being a disturbance to someone" He giggled and I'm not sure whom he meant.

" Who's that person ?"

" Is that in the question ?" He snarled back rudely but the anchor brushes it off with laughter.

"No, Do you have a girlfriend or you're planning on having a girlfriend ?"

" I'm not planning on having" He replied bluntly.

" Scarlett, what wish would you like to fulfill in your lifetime ?" She turned to her.

" Hmm.... my wish has been fulfilled already" She smiled sultrily trying to get all spotlight.

"Wow! What was the wish?"

" To meet Shaquan" My gaze fell upon the stage props which looks like it was unstable and would fall anytime from now.

At first, I didn't take note of it because I thought it was an imagination not until it began to swing.

Not everyone noticed but I quickly run towards the stage when it begins to drop.

Shaquan

I noticed the anxious look on Lia's face cos I couldn't stop staring at her not until she begins to run towards me.

" Shaquan" She screamed on top of her voice, gesturing her hand for me to move away.

I tried looking up to see what was going on but I felt someone pushed me away before it could fall.

I opened my eyes to see her on top of me with her eyes full of worries but didn't even know my lips….
