The whole court room went silent when the Judge was about to give his final Judgement
I was so scared, what if the judge decides to set her free?
I sighed
Are you alright? Chase asked in whispers, he was seated beside me
I shook my head
I am worried about the judgement, you know it might be in Kira favour
He chuckled lightly
That cannot happened, Loretta’s testimony is enough to put her behind bars. he assured
I hope so . I muttered
I glanced at Loretta and smiled, she was seated beside Nick with her head resting on his shoulders
Are they couples?
*
The Judge cleared his throat and I felt my heart beating faster
After listening to both attorneys, I have come to a decision “
he looked around to make sure everyone was listening before he continued
Kira Montes! he called with his gaze fixed on her
She was standing in the witness box with her head bent, she was clearly ashamed
I pronounce you guilty of all the crimes you were charge with , which are Kidnapping, illegal possessions of arms and ammunitions, attempted Murder, assaults , abetting a rape and you are hereby sentenced to a life imprisonment with hard labour …………..
I sighed in relief
*
Nooooooooo. Kira screamed violently and the two cops beside her immediately held her still
She tried to struggle out of their grip, but I guess their hold on her was tight because she couldn’t
Daddy please help me , please help . She kept on screaming as the cops dragged her outside ….
I shook my head in pity , she sure deserved it……..

Walking out of the courthouse, I helped Loretta walk by placing one of my hands on her shoulders and the other on her waist band
She was still limping, but had to come because she was the main witness
Now my mind can finally be at peace. She said with a smile
Same with me , I am really happy the witch will get to spend the whole of her life behind bars. I said and we both laughed
Did you see her face when the judge read out his final judgment? She asked still laughing
Of course , her mouth was wide opened like a zombie.
Oh my gawd! Candy you are so funny. She continued laughing
*
The reporters crowded us immediately we got outside the courthouse
D--n! I cursed
Miss Noah, Are you happy that justice is served? one of them asked
Do you have any thing to say about the Judgement? Another one asked
What about you miss, what more do you have to say about the criminal Kira? a third one asked facing Loretta
I sighed in frustration
how are we going to pass through! they blocked all of the way
I looked around
Where the hell is Chase and Nick? I wondered
Can you please just excuse us, my friend here is getting weak? I pleaded
We will, but please Just answer us? they kept on insisting
I was about to give in to their demand when a familiar voice whispered into my ears
Let’s go
I turned back to see Chase and Nick , they were both wearing sunglasses and a cap as a disguise
I smirked
Nick carried Loretta up in bridal style and Chase held my hands as we pushed through the crowd of reporters…….

on getting to the parking lot , I let go of Candy hand
You took so long to come out of the court house, what were you both doing? she frowned
Nothing, we were looking around for both of you . Nick answered, he was still carrying Loretta in his arms
I smiled
The Nick I know had never cared deeply for any girl like this before
So where are you headed, Are you taking Loretta back to the hospital? I asked to be sure
he nodded
Alright! if that is the case , we will see later
Sure. he smiled
bye Loretta, take good care of yourself. I bade and she smiled shyly
She looked so innocent, It was hard to believe she was the same girl who tried to seduce me . Well! People do change ………
I watched him go over to his car, he lowered Loretta gently to her feet before opening the car doors , he assisted her into the car, got Into the driver seat and drove off………….
I smiled
Are they dating? Candy asked , she arched her eyebrow
I don’t know
She gave me a surprise look
Why won’t you know , he is your brother and you ought to know most of his secrets
Really! he is your brother also .I smirked
Oh! that is true . She nodded and I chuckled
Come on , let’s go
I got into the driver seat and waited patiently for her to hop in before driving off to her home ……

Candy kept on burbling about how happy she was about Kira’s sentence
I feel so happy and so much relieved. She said , she looked so funny when she tried to demonstrate how happy she felt
I chuckled
I never knew her to be this funny
I wish she rots and dies in prison . She added
I glanced at her and smiled
It is alright Candy , can we please talk about something else?
Why? She asked giving me a puzzled look
I just don’t want to talk about Kira, hearing about her makes me remember how you were almost raped , and I don’t want to have such memories again
Fine! She agreed , so what should we talk about?
Anything
hmmmm erm ….. so tell me more about your upcoming concert? she suddenly asked
I glanced at her in surprise
how did you know about it?
She grinned
I received a notification when I was in the courthouse and when I clicked on it , it was all about your up coming Concert . She explained
It should be all over on the media by now, she added
Crazy Dave! I mumbled
What did you say? she asked
Nothing….. so when will the concert be holding? I asked
She laughed
Are you for real? What do you mean by that? do you mean you don’t know the date of your own concert
I sighed
Shit like that do happen, when will it hold? I repeated
Friday. She replied with a grin that split her face
Oh yeah! I drawled….

On getting to her home, I parked in front
I will call you later . I said , I leaned towards her and kissed her briefly
She frowned
Aren’t you gonna come in?
No. I shook my head
But why? She asked still frowning
I don’t want to ruin a family moment. I answered with a smile
Liar! she retorted , she opened the door and was about getting down but I caught her by the arm and pulled her back
What do you mean by Liar, why did you call that ? I asked, I was really confused
She scoffed
Just tell me you don’t want to come in because you find my house so unattractive, you don’t need to lie
Are you for real? I asked in a huff but she just stared blankly at me
I bit my lips
Don’t ever say this , I don’t want to hear this again . I warned
but I was just…….. she was about to say when I cut her off
You can go in
What! She exclaimed in surprise
go in, I repeated
Fine!
she alighted from the car and ran into her house without looking back at me
She is just so stubborn!
I started the car and drove off heading to the mansion……

Entering into the house, my family were having a celebration
What is the celebration all about, is it because of Kira? No it can’t be , my family don’t give a d--n about her
hi mom! hi dad! I greeted
They looked in my direction and smiled
Candy! Max rushed to me , he held my hands and led me to the sofa
Sit down! My dad instructed and I did
What is going on here? What are we celebrating? I asked staring at the sumptuous meal on the table
We are celebrating your success. he said with a wide grin
Oh, I thought we have celebrated it before
he shook his head , I am not talking about your successful solo debut , i am talking about this .
he picked up an envelope from the table and handed it to me
I opened the envelope and pulled out a folded paper
I unfolded the paper and glanced through it
Oh my gawd! I exclaimed with my eyes wide opened
“Delgado label record gifted me a mansion and a car for my successful solo debut”
Is this for real? I asked in disbelief
Yes baby, Two women from the record label came over to see you , they dropped this when I told them you were not in. My mum explained
I squealed in excitement
So when are we going to move out of this unattractive house? Max asked and my mum hit him playfully
The word attractive house made me remember what I said to Chase
Did I over react? No I don’t think so , I was only trying to……… I stopped when the realisation hit me
Oh my gawd! What did I do ? Chase was only trying to give us space to celebrate, that was what he meant by “not ruining family moment”
I jolted up from the sofa
Are you alright? My mum asked distracting me from my musings
I quickly composed myself
Yes mom. I answered
Are you sure? My dad asked , he stared curiously at me
Yes, I just remembered I have an assignment to do . I lied , I knew it was a blank lie , but I don’t care , all i wanted is for my Chase not to mad at me
I faked a smile and headed to my room
i pushed the door opened , walked to the bed and sat on it
I brought out my phone from my bag and dialled Chase number
he picked it up on the third ring
hello Chase! I greeted immediately and he chuckled
Congratulations Candy!
I am really sorry for judging you wrong . I apologised
he sighed
It is nothing, you just need to be careful how you use your words next time
I smiled
Thanks baby , I love you
I love you too. he said and ended the call
I sighed in relief
I stood up from the bed and headed back to the sitting room
So let get on with the celebration. I said as I sat down
My parent silently exchanged looks and shook their head
They must be thinking I am crazy . I thought within
And as if reading my mind , Max said in a huff
You are crazy Candy , you are really crazy ……::

Entering the hospital ward , I placed Loretta gently on the bed
I covered her with the blanket and tucked her in
She frowned
but I don’t want to sleep
Why? you had a really rough day and you need it . I said trying not to meet her gaze
I don’t know why , but my heart always race faster whenever I am with her
No, I want to talk to you . She pouted
That is not possible, I have business to attend to
Oh! She exclaimed
I looked at her and met her gaze , she looked away
What is wrong with her? I wondered
I will be here in the evening. I informed and she nodded without looking at me
I sighed
I took a few steps to the ward exit and stopped
What is wrong with me , my heart feels so heavy seeing her sad ,
I turned and walked back to bed, I sat on it and she shifted a little
Aren’t you going again? She asked and I shook my head negatively
Why? she asked with her eyes wide opened
I smiled
Because staying with you is more important
Nick! She called softly and I sighed
I guess it is time for me to man up , I need to tell her how I feel about her
Loretta, I think I like you . I blurted out and she gasped
Nick! She called again
I don’t really understand what I am feeling, but I really want you by my side ……
Oh my gawd! She exclaimed softly
So will you be my girlfrie…….
Yes! Yes! Yes! . She screamed before I could finish my question
I chuckled
I will be your girlfriend Nick . She repeated
I pulled her close to me and hugged her tightly
She is so d--n funny!
