Chapter 9

 ~The fun~

There was perfect silence for some moments after Cove dropped the bombshell. The look on Orion was unreadable. His gaze remains on Cove making him (Cove) crease his brow a little.

But then suddenly, he laughs out. Cove frowns more.

"Is there anything funny?" He asks not getting why he's suddenly laughing.

"Of course there is, Cove you're funny. Is this a new hobby you just exhibit, cracking jokes out of nowhere??" Orion asked amidst laughter. Cove however rolled his eyes and took Orion's phone which was on the table in front of them.

"What did you save her name as I can't find Monkey or Mokee here?" Cove however asked scrolling through his contacts.

"Hey, don't tell me you're being serious about this?" Orion quirks a brow.

"Orion, have I always been a joker to you? I'm telling you because I'm serious about it. But are you dating, who's this you save as 'Adorable her ❤️' " Cove asked giving him the phone back.

"It's... it's no one..." Orion clears his throat.

"Well, there's no way you'll be dating that I won't know. Just send me the monkey's number. Hurry, hurry" He whined.

"Oh, okay..." Reluctantly, Orion forwarded the number to him 

"Okay, I got it" Cove sprang up the moment he got the message.

"Wait! Where are you going?" Orion stopped him.

"To her of course, send me her address as well"

"You're going to tell her how you feel? Just like that??"

"What do you mean just like that, do you know how awake this kept me for days? Now that I've realized it then I should just make a move on it"

"Make a move?" He paused and sighed.

"How long are you gonna see her for? A week, two weeks or a month?" He asks 

"Till I get tired of her. Orion why are you asking too much, it's beginning to get on my nerves You never got involved in my dating life like this why are you being strange now?" Cove furrows his brow. 

"I'm only asking a few questions"

"You're being suspicious" Cove eyed him.

"Alright. Do whatever you want. But must you go this late?" 

"You said to do whatever I want. I'm leaving. I may come late so don't wait for me and go home and send me the address now!" He took his car keys and literally rushed out of the house.

Orion slowly balled his fists where he was seated.

"It must be a joke... he's only joking" He mumbled.

~MOKEE 'S PLACE ~

Mokee was ready to go to bed but her phone ringing made her stop. She frowns a little wondering who could be calling her this late at night and picking up her phone from the desk beside her bed, she frowns more on seeing it's an unknown number.

She decided to ignore it but when it wouldn't stop, she eventually picked it up.

"I do not need any damn loan I still haven't finished paying the one I have on my neck so take your offer elsewhere, thank you," She says immediately as she picked the call 

"Not only are you poor but you have debts to pay also?" She was about to end the call when she heard a familiar voice from the other end of the call.

"Wait, is this who I think it is? Impossible..." She checks the phone.

"Come out, I'm outside," He says.

"Outside? Outside where??"

"Your house, of course, come out now it's cold. And make sure to dress prettily" He says and before she could talk back, he ended the call.

"What...hey! You...what is he... outside..." She stood away from the bed and drew her curtain checking outside and truly, his expensive car was parked just outside.

"No shit!" Swiftly, she put on a jacket and rushed out of the room.

"Hey, where are you_" Nana who came out for a drink asked on seeing her running outside.

On getting outside, Mokee knocked on the car window and it got rolled down.

"Get in" He said whining the car glass back up. Mokee hesitated but then his voice jerked her up.

"Hurry! I can't allowed to be seen by the paparazzi, will you take responsibility if I do!" He said with a frown, the car door already opened for her.

"But_" She tried to argue but Cove got out of the car before she could. He pushed her into the car and then got in also driving off at a speed.

"What are we doing here?" Mokee asked feeling awkward. They're currently in a fancy restaurant though no one else is there except the two and the waiter who came to take their order some minutes ago.

"Cove what are we_"

"I told you to dress prettily, what are you wearing?" He chided. Mokee covers herself properly with the jacket, she only has her nightingale beneath it.

"You called me suddenly, I was too shocked to notice what I'm wearing"She replied clearing her throat.

"But why are we here? Why did you call me out so late, I don't think we're this close to meeting like this and also can we_"

"Shhhh! Let's eat first. Waiter!" He snapped his fingers and a variety of fish was served. Mike's mouth dropped.

"For now let's eat, we'll talk after" He smiles taking his cutlery.

"Help yourself," He says, digging into the food.

Later.

After the awkward meal, they settled for dessert and Mokee wouldn't stop asking why he called her out.

"I did the surprise, brought you to a fancy restaurant, fed you and did all the romantic things. It's time to go into the main event of the night now" He says.

"Which is...?" She asks.

"The confession" He smiles, and she creases her brow.

"Mon_No...Mokee listen, you're one lucky woman I don't know how you did it but among millions of ladies in this universe, you've managed to do something many ladies have failed to do" He says.

"Did I win the lottery?" She asked back, but he chuckled.

"You didn't win the lottery but won something greater which is no other than my heart" Hesmiledd and contended. Mokee just keeps quiet staring at him.

"Didn't you get what I just said?" He asked after some moments of silence.

"Cove be honest with me, are we being filmed secretly, is this some kind of show or what? Gist me in" She says leaning close to him.

"What?"

"Should I play along with you, what should I do...ugh! I don't think I look that good. You should have given me a heads up I would have prepared myself at least." She whispers to him.

"Must you be dumb even in this situation? Do you see any camera here, I'm confessing my feelings to you right now idiot!" Cove said out in frustration.

"Feelings? What feelings?" She asked confused.

"Listen" He held her hand which was on the table but she immediately removed it.

"What are you doing? Don't be a cringe and say whatever you wanna say there" She gave him a disapproving look.

"Okay, I have a question. Were you able to sleep well at night?"

"Why won't I be?" She asked back.

"You've been awake in my mind for the past few nights so I was just wondering. I couldn't sleep well at night... you keep me awake "

"What nonsense are you spouting I can't understand really" She folded her arms.

"I don't usually do this..." He cleared his throat.

"I like you monkey. I've come to" He professed.

"I thought about it many times cause it makes no sense but no matter how much I do I just keep concluding and that's I'm in love with you. I called you out tonight to tell you that" He added.

"So, to get this straight, you are in love with me?" She asks. He nods. 

She scoffs.

"I know it might be hard for you to believe since I'm known as a playboy or whatnot. Monkey, you just have to believe me, I like you and this is my first time liking a woman like this" He says.

"To you who has always hated me a lot, you're saying you suddenly love me now?"

"I'm as shocked as you are. I couldn't believe it at first"

"But why?"

"I should be asking you that, what did you do to me?"

"Are you saying this is all my fault or something?"

"Of course. I'm not usually like this, you must have seduced me or something now that you succeeded then you should take responsibility"

"What? Hey young man, you aren't my type don't be delusional, why would I seduce someone like you..." She muttered the last part.

"How can I not be your type when I'm every woman's type?"

"Co_"

"Don't give me an answer now, think about it and tell me later. That's how it's supposed to be." He stood up.

"Let's go now, we've done what we came here to do. I believe there's nothing more to say" He says then start walking out. Mokee couldn't help scoffing.

"He says what he has to say and that's it? He thinks he's the only one that has things to say...how funny" She mumbles standing up also.

"Where are you coming from?"Nana asked Mokee who was trying to sneak in.

"F**k you caught me" Mokee mutters.

"I saw you running out, who died?" Nana asked with folded arms.

"It's nothing like that, I only went out to see someone"

"Yeah, I figured. Someone rich enough to drive one of the latest sports cars. It's not Orion, who is it?"She interrogated.

"How would you know if it's not Orion?" Mokee questioned back.

"I know his car and he isn't that rude enough to call you out late at night. Stop boycotting and answer my question" Nana says. Mokee sighs. 

"It was Cove" She answered. Nana gave her the continued' look.

"He said he likes me"

"Oh, you're his next pawn. I'm not surprised. So then..."

"He said he's in love with me" Mokee added. 

"Did he say he'll marry you? Cause he said that to me. He told me I was his soulmate, his fate, his last bus top and would like to be with me forever then later dumbed me in the weirdest way ever. Not only me though, but other girls out there also"

"Nana..."

"Come back to your senses girl. It's a big NO for him. He's only playing you better wake up" Nana said unfriendly and without waiting for her reply, she went to her room. 

Mokee sighed and went to her room. She took off her jacket and lay on the bed.

"Nana is right, he can never be serious with that. Let's just sleep. Snap out of it Mokee" She slaps her cheeks slightly and then closes her eyes.

To sleep, she drifted off.

~ON SET~

"Ugh! I'm exhausted..." Mokee sighs out fanning herself.

"Hey, Monkey" Cove suddenly appeared behind her making her jerk!

"You scared me!" She frowns.

"I brought you water. You must be tired" He extended a bottle of water to her.

"Why are you suddenly being nice?" She eyed him suspiciously.

"Isn't it obvious? It's because I like you" He smiles back.

"Sorry, but my answer is No" She pushed the bottle away.

"I expected that" He smiles back rather.

"Glad to see you giving up" Mokee said 

"Who says I'm giving up? 'No' means 'Next opportunity' it's not the end. I just got started why should I give up? Think about it more 'cause I'm going to do all it takes to make you fall for me" He put the bottle of water in her hand.

"Drink and don't choke" He winks and then walks away.

"What a joke..." Mokee scoffs. She was about to open the lid of the bottle when someone suddenly snatched it from her.

"What are you doing?" Mokee frowns.

"I should be asking what were you talking about with Cove?" Jemma asked unfriendly.

"Cove? Ahh...him? He told me he likes me. He's apparently in love with me" Mokee replied.

"What?"

"But I rejected him"

"Hey, that's absurd. Why would he like you?" 

"Exactly. Why would he like a woman like me? To him I'm poor and wretched" Mokee said 

"Look, Cove is not in your league just because he said that doesn't mean he does like you. Don't get delusional" Jemma said with folded arms.

"Thanks for the advice. I'll keep it in mind" Mokee snatched the bottle back and then walked away nudging her.

"That arrogant b*tch .. just wait I'll soon cut off your wings" Jemma glared hard at her as she leaves.

AT A RESTAURANT

"Orion, this place smells expensive, why did you bring me here?" Mokee asked Orion who goes through the menu given to him by the waiter.

"I figured out you're easily tired this day. Prolly cause of the shooting stress and all. This is to boost you up" He smiles.

"But still...this place is too .."

"Don't worry, I've got you. What would you like to have?" He asked her

"I'll go for the same thing as you"

"Alright. Does Pasta sound good?" He asked, she nods. Orion placed the order.

"Wait a minute" He got his phone and dial a number.

"Yo! Bro!" Cove's voice boomed out from the other end. Mokee who heard it based on the phone being put on speaker looks up.

"Where are you? It's loud" Orion asks.

"Club man! Wanna join me??" He asked 

"No, I'm eating out... with someone" Orion replied.

"Okay...talk to you later" He ends the call and Mokee drop her gaze.

"Sorry," Orion says, she only gives him a small smile.

"I heard something strange...I wasn't sure but if it's true then...I guess I'd be happy for you" Orion suddenly said.

"What is it?"

"Cove told me you're gonna be his woman soon, is that true?" He asked 

"What?? Of course not! Never... not in a million years!" Mokee says.

"Really? But...why? I'm not saying this because he's my friend or something but he's a pretty good catch, don't you think?"

"I don't like him and I'll never do! I can never like a jerk like him. He's too unserious for my liking. Can we stop talking about him please"

"Sure. Why not." He smiles broadly.

"Their food here is awesome" Orion compliment

"Next time would be my treat," Mokee said 

"Really??" His face lighten up.

"Yeah, but don't expect a fancy place like this"

"Looking forward to it" He beams, she smiles back.

CLUB.

"Cove?" Jemma called Cove who was dancing with some ladies on the stage loudly getting his attention.

Cove furrows his brow on seeing her.

"Are you stalking me?" He blurts out in displease.

"Of course not, I only came here to have fun. Though I'm happy running into you like this." She links hands with him.

"Then continue having fun" He removed his arm from hers and walked away.

Jemma smiles.

"Of course, together with you..." She mumbles going to take a seat at a corner watching him play and flirt with ladies.

~AN HOUR LATER ~

Cove pushed a lady roughly into the room, attacking her with a rough kiss at the same time.

One could tell he was madly hard with his huge bulge sticking out from his pants, the veins bulging out from his neck and how hot his body was.

In a haste, he took off his shirt throwing it somewhere then pinned the lady against the wall, kissing her fiercely.

He tried taking off the clothing covering her but surprisedly the lady stopped him.

He gave her a frown.

The lady moves away from him shaking her big @ss.

"Sorry," The lady smiled and before he could process anything, she walked out of the room leaving him madly aroused.

"The f**k!" He dipped his hand into his pocket bringing out his phone to make a call for another slut since the one with him suddenly backed out strangely.

He was still dialling the number when a pair of feet started walking towards him from a corner.

A smirk appeared on his lips seeing it belonged to a lady.

"No need to make a call, I'm here for you already," She said walking closer to him. 

Cove's expression changed to a dark one on seeing who it was actually.

"What are you doing here?" He asked darkly.

"What else but to give you what you've always wanted" She took off the robe she was putting on leaving only in her undies.

Cove balled his fists and turned away from her 

"Leave Jemma," He said, his voice hoarse.

"Don't try to prove stubborn, I know you need me more than any other thing right now, if you don't take me now you'll probably go crazy in the next ten minutes?" She said behind him.

"JEMMA!!" He yelled, his fists tightening.

"I said leave" He grits. Jemma walks closer to him however wrapping her arms around his waist from behind.

"You gave me no audience, so I had no choice but to resort to this. Don't worry, I'll make you feel better just don't chase me away and stop holding yourself in." She turns him over back to her and steps on her toes whispering to his right ear. 

"I'm here to please you as long as you want"

"What...did you do to me?" He seethes, his body burning. Right at that moment he feels like pouncing on her and f**king the hell out of her but he's only holding himself in cause it's her.

Jemma smirks, grabbing his hardened D.

He groaned.

"You told me to have fun, this is me having fun" She pressed her body to his, smashing her lips on his also at the same time.

The moment their lips met, his eyes changed and it was like all the bolts in him let loose.

He grabbed her and pushed her away roughly.

He staggered towards the door but before he could get there, Jemma ran to it locking it.

"Don't even try to fight it Cove. It's a losing game" She said breathlessly and in a swift, she jumped on him wrapping her legs tightly around his waist.

She captured his lips again in a rough wet kiss.

Cove tried shoving her off him and that led them both falling to the floor with her on top.

"Ahh..." A breathless groan left his mouth when Jemma started moving her @ss on his little man before he could push her off him.

"F***!" He held her waist fighting hard to push her away but Jemma wasn't giving him the chance.

After all, he's as horny as f**k that she's sure of and no matter how hard he tried resisting her, it'll only make him want her more.

She increases her tempo driving him more crazy her hand unbuttoning his pants at the same time.

"Don't worry, I'm gonna make a whole fun for you" Successfully unbuttoning the pants, she dipped her hand in it bringing out his erected rod and without wasting any second, she bent down, her mouth taking it in whole.

"F**K!!!" He groans out.
