Handsome
🔥 🔥
Leaving the fact she had not still gotten used to the fact she saved his name as handsome aside. Those emoji's still got stuck in her mind.
She couldn't believe that was just it. No comments, just two sets of fire emoji's like she choose to call it.
Was it she that bad?
This only had made it worse. She had been beating herself since she sent that picture.
She couldn't believe she let her insecurities get the best of her.
She sent a nude picture of herself to a boy she only started dating less than one month ago.
Now she knew she was far from perfect. She had changed so much in these few months. The Geraldine she knew wouldn't even spare a guy a look twice, neither will she give him the benefits of talking to her.
But here comes Jayden, someone she used to hate his guts, changing every damn thing.
The only thing she still had intact was her virginity, her morals were gone.
She suddenly starts typing so fast, finally getting the urge to finally say something.
Please delete the last picture ASAP
She sends immediately, at the same time she gets a message from Ashley. She taps on it.
Baby Cous😹
Luckily, paper has been invented since Leonardo Wachijem was born, so we didn't have to chisel these invitations in stone. Come and join us as we celebrate his new age.
Save the date, 10th March, 7 pm, and don't be late; we don't want you to miss the birthday cake! Join us in making this birthday amazing.
It was an invitation to Leo's birthday. Ashley should know by now, her Mum rarely lets her go to parties.
That was also the least of her problems now. She just wanted Jayden to get rid of that picture. Another eyes seeing that will not be funny.
She stares at the phone, still patiently waiting for a response.

The sort of tension he felt at this instance can't be compared to any he had felt beforehand.
It was sort of crazy. Sitting across your girl's friends mum after being caught making out with her.
He got Cherish message about this after her Mum had called. The insane part was she scheduled a meeting in her house.
The worst thing that could happen was his parents finding out about this. The craziest part was how easy it was for them to pass that information to one another.
"How old are you?"
It wasn't just about how serious she sounded or the look she was giving him. It was how scary the question was to him. He wondered where it was leading to.
"I will be seventeen by August," Ashley responds slowly.
"Which means you are still sixteen!" She says. "How old is Cherish?" She asks looking more scary. This wasn't the cheerful Aunty Aurora he used to know.
"Fourteen I think." He says trying to sound firm.
"You think?" She asks.
"Fourteen!" She responds.
"Who is she to you?"
These was the worst questions he had ever gotten. They were very simple unlike exam questions, but extremely scary.
"My girlfriend."
"You know it's the courage for me." She says giving him a serious look. "To think you are bold enough to tell me that."
There is a sudden silence.
"What class is she?" She asks again, making Ashley pretty exhausted.
"Ss1!" He says and pauses, giving her a look. "I'm..., "
"Don't speak till I'm done." See shushes him up.
"The only reason I'm talking to you is, because I know even though I ask Cherish to stay away from you, it wouldn't change anything. It might only create a distance between us, whereby she starts lying and keeping secrets, from me. And maybe when I try to correct her the hard way, she might start getting ill thoughts and reminded I am not her birth mother. I don't want the relationship I've tried building over the years to get strained. That's why I'm talking to you instead," She pauses.
"At this age, you kids tend to feel a bit of infatuation which you think is love, trust me it would end soon. I also believe you are in Ss3, you will be leaving the school soon. Writing JAMB. You will go to the university of your choice, in or out of the country. I don't want any form of distraction for that child. Cherish will clock fifteen a few weeks from now. She is still a child. I don't want all this for her. I would appreciate it if you call off everything you have with her." She says shocking the hell out of Ashley.
"Ma!" He calls out.
"I believe you are smart enough. I'm only trying to give you the best advice possible. Maybe in the future, if you both are right for each other, but for now, I don't want that." She says giving him a look.
"Why are you telling me all this?" He asks slowly, quite confused.
"Because you wouldn't like what you will get when next you are caught loitering in my house. My eyes will be on you both, trust me. I can't be played dirty. Her Dad might want to pull her out of Hilton, which I believe might affect her due to a change in school's. But I shouldn't be forced to rethink that. Thanks for coming. My regards to your parents." She says smiling, making Ashley wonder why someone can sound nice, and send such shivers into your skin.
This was Cherish they were talking about. She meant a lot to him. If it were to be someone else, he would have ignored it. But she seemed very serious and ready to go extreme.
He slowly gets up.
"One more thing." She says stopping him. "I would appreciate it if you keep your mouth shut to Cherish. The same way you keep your distance. Because my kids well-being are very important to me. I can always go extreme. Same as going to your parents to ask them to warn you." She says looking grim.
