Empire High School - Season 1 - Episode 92

Emeka’s POV
I lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling
trying not to think about her. I tossed on
my bed for several minutes before I
groaned out in frustration. I kept trying to
push her out of my mind but her face kept
appearing in my mind’s eye.

And once again the memories of the kisses
we had shared in my car flooded my mind.
And I sat up immediately.

What’s wrong with me?!

During the holiday I couldn’t stop thinking
about Caroline. Why?

Its probably because I was still finding
fault in myself for using Caroline. Joseph
found fault with me over how I used
Caroline to find the truth the day I told him
Jeffrey plan in the open field. Though He
was glad that we had managed to exposed
the posters but he was also against me
pretending to love Caroline.

“Its like you toyed with her feelings. You
clearly know how much Caroline loves you
and she already confessed to you a long
time ago. Pretending to love wasn’t a good
idea. She might feel like she’s not worth
anything or your love, that’s why you
played her” Said Joseph

I was indded stricken by his words. And
feeling of guilt had swept over me on
hearing his words. I never thought of my
actions as “Toying with Caroline feelings” I
was only determined to help Kate as a true
friend. I wanted to prove to her that I
would always be there for her during good
and bad times. But in the end I found out
she was dating Jeffrey! I didn’t expect
anything like relationship! I thought they
were just close since Kate was pretty close
to everyone of us!

And I wondered why she chose Jeffrey of
all the guys in the school “Mr Ghost”. Well,
one wouldn’t know Jeffrey had something
up his sleeves too. He was a smart boy!

Now what should I do about Caroline?
I couldn’t stop stealing glances at Caroline
in Class. She’s my seat partner. At first I
was happy Mr Daniel paired us together. I
saw it as a chance to apologize to her and
make things up to her. But Caroline ignored
me completely. She never spoke to me!
I couldn’t blame her. It was my fault! I
shouldn’t have admitted that I loved her or
even kissed her. I acted real! Like I wanted
something between us..that was why
Caroline told me the secret.

Whereas I was only faking things to her.
Will Caroline ever forgive me for playing
her heart?

If I decided to talk to her and apologize will
she give me a chance?

I thought deeply
“Maybe I should seek advice” I muttered
From who?

I wondered
I hopped out of my bed
“Where are my keys? And my phone?”
I searched and then I found them in the
drawer next to my bed.
I moved out of my room.

*******

Katherine’s POV
A beeping sound jolted me up from my
deep sleep. I groaned out loudly. I didn’t
want to wake up from the sweet sleep.
D--n it! Who is calling me?!.

I peeled open my eyes, blinking hard to
clear my vision. I reached for my phone on
my bedside drawer. Emeka was calling me!
“Hello Emeka” I said
Sitting up slowly on my bed.

“Where are you?” He asked
I yawned loudly
“I’m at home” I said with a sigh
“Ahmm..I’m at the estate gate can you talk
to the guards so they can let me in” Emeka
said

What?! He’s at the estate gate!
“Hello” i heard a voice.
“Good afternoon sir, I am Katherine from
Adebowale home” I said
“Oh! Mr Adebowale’s daughter”
“Yes Sir”
“And who is he to you? I mean this guy
here?”

“He’s my friend..Please let him in”
“Okay” the guard muttered
“We need to talk” I heard Emeka’s voice on
the phone.

“Can you come outside for a while?” He
asked
“No..problem” I said
Then the line dropped.

I went to the mirror and recombed my hair
and moved out of the room.
“Mom..” I called at her.
“Yes Sunshine..i’m in the kitchen!”
She said loudly

And I made my way to the kitchen. I was
welcomed by the smell of fried plantain.
Nanny Pat was washing dishes while my
mom was doing the frying.

“I’m preparing dinner” She said
“I can see that -” I tried to pick a plantain in
a bowl but it was too hot. I withdrew my
hands quickly.

“Aush! I just burned the tip of my fingers!”
My mom laughed.

“Sorry I just dropped the hot ones now”
I gave her a puppy face.

“Where is my daddy?” I asked
“Omo baba e, your dad went to play golf
with his friends”

“At the men’s club” she nodded
“Mom, Emeka is outside, Can I bring him
in?!”

She raised her brow
“Emeka? are you expecting him?”
“He just called now. He said we need to
talk” I answered
“Any problem?”

She asked with a concerned tone.
“I have no idea” I replied
“Invite him in” mom said
She dipped her hand into the bowl and
gave me plantain.

“Oh! Thanks Mom!” I kissed her cheeks
before collecting the plantain.

“Careful!” She said as I rushed out of the
kitchen. Emeka was leaning against his car
when I opened the gate. He gave me a
charming smile.
“Good afternoon Kate” He waved
I went to him.

“Hi” I greeted with a smile
“Can I tell you something?” He asked
“Sure” I nodded
Emeka’s eyes did a slow crawl on my body.
“I am astounded by your natural beauty”
he said
I felt the heat rising in my cheeks but I
shied away from it. I was simply dressed in
a white joggers and black crop top. I was
dressed like this because I’m home and I
have no plans of going out today.

“Stop the flattery” I said punching his arm
in the process. He laughed
“I’m serious Babe” he said
I held his gaze with shyness. And I slowly
folded my arms.
“You said we -”
“We need to talk” Emeka completed my
intended sentence. I nodded
“So let’s go in and talk”
“Inside? What about your parents?”
He arched his brow
“My mom is at home but my dad is out
with his friends” I responded
Emeka gave me a lazy smile.
“Can’t we just talk in my car Or we go
somewhere else”

He scratched his head with his car keys.
