Chapter 50
” Steph, you have been a really good companion since I met you or since you arrived in Ohio, thank you for everything” Sophie said holding her hands.
” Soph, you know you do not need to do this you practically took care of me and held me despite the fact that you barely knew me, my safety came first to you before anybody else so if I am to thank anybody it’s you, thank you really and I had mad fun with you, I hope to recreate it when I get back again because surely I will Ohio was a really fun experience for me” she replied Sophie with tears rolling down her eyes, she never knew leaving to be this painful she had really bonded well with Stephanie amongst everybody. She gave her a tight hug like she was never letting her go.
She then turned to Derrick to hug him too, he was also another person who looked out for her, he really cared about her and she did not know how to repay them both.
“Derrick I just met you and it seems like I have known you for a long time, thank you for always saving my life and for coming up with a plan b I don’t know what I would have done if you had not created that escape route that day in the forest” she said with tears welling up and she gave the biggest hug of her life.
“Ooh it’s fine, I trust we would meet again” Derrick said he did not want to mess up his eyes like the grown women were doing so he was going to keep it to himself, this was not the first time Audrey was leaving home so he was used to it but he faced his brother nevertheless.
“You know I’m supposed to hit you, you called me home like there was an urgency and you did not bother to tell me what it was , I was worried man that something happened to you or pops” Audrey said hitting his brother playfully.
” Don’t be angry my bro, it was a joke, I missed you ” Derrick ssiad hitting his brother back too playfully.
“Take care of dad for me and take care of yourself, send him my love” Audrey replied and hugged his brother, the girls were happy that they bade each other goodbye in a good way.
The last time Audrey went to New York, Derrick did not even see his brother off to the airport; it was a good sight to behold.
Shortly after, it was announced that passengers going to New York should head to the departure lounge and that they waved goodbye to one another. Sophie had balled out her eyes and forgotten to collect Stephanie’s contact when Derrick promised he would get it from Audrey for her, with that assurance they headed back to their mansion while Audrey and Stephanie went for the plane.
In no time they both arrived at John F Kennedy Airport, and Audrey ordered them from the airport to take them to the university campus.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Finally, I have missed school so much ” Stephanie said in excitement
She could not wait to gist her best friend about everything they both did in Ohio, and explore NYU campus, she had missed the serene environment, the ever busy campus life students had one thing or the other to do every time. In a few minutes they arrived at her dorm and she packed her things to get into the dorm.
“So I will see you later babe” Audrey said and kissed her on the lips.
” Alright babe, give me a call when you get to your room” she replied.
On getting to her dormitory she noticed that her roommate was around as the door was just closed and not locked so she opened the door.
“Stephhhhhh” her roommate screamed and jumped out of bed to give her a hug.
” Welcome back baby, wait you did not tell me you were traveling I was worried sick” she said and folded her arms in anger.
” I’m sorry babe, an emergency came up, I had to travel in a rush ” Stephanie replied trying to calm her roommate down.
” If not that Mirabel told me that you went to Ohio with Mr handsome I would not have known, I was about organizing a search party for you” her roommate teased and they both laughed.
” You know there was really no need for that , you could have given me a call or something but it’s fine though, I got a present for you at least to make up for ghosting on you” Stephanie said and gave her roommate the package she had got from Ohio for her.
“So come and tell me how was your trip, how handsome is Mr handsome, hope he treated you well and made you feel like a princess” her roommate asked, she just wanted to know if she had maximum fun.
” Well, it was fine babe, I enjoyed every bit of it, and yes he made me feel like a princess, he had always made me feel like a princess” she said blushing very hard
” Jeeez, babe see how you look all red, you must have really enjoyed yourself, thank you for that package anyways I like it” she said and stood up as if she was walking away.
” Let me leave you to rest now, you can tell me the juicy details later, I have rehearsals with the dance society now” her roommate said and left.
After her roommate had left the room, she quickly used the opportunity to unpack her luggages, and put things in order as he room was looking like she had not been in the room for a very long time, she was not the tidiest person ever but she coped with it because the girl was nice , funny and adorable.
” Oooh my, I have a lot of cleaning to do in this room, it seems like she was not in the room at all, my goodness” she said hitting her head on her face to show that she was tired in advance.
She began cleaning and arranging the room, she then remembered that she told Audrey to call her when he got to his room why had he not call her, had he not gotten to his room, a myriad of thoughts clouded her mind so she decided to pick up the phone and call him to know what went wrong. After two rings he picked up the phone she had prepared a speech ahead of time, she wanted him to know that she was displeased with the fact that he did not call her but as soon as he picked up the phone, it felt like her mouth was glued together as she could not utter a word she just started smoking and blushing over the phone .
“, Heyyy” he said on the other end ” you miss me so much that you can not do without me even if we just saw each other” . Audrey teased. This irked her so much, she hated how confident Audrey was of himself every time. ” What a jerk” she muttered to herself.
” I told you to give me a call when you get to your Form, but you did not. I was just calling to know whether you were fine and if you got to your dorm safely” she said and hung up the call.
Audrey just laughed at what she did and decided to call her back hoping she would pick which she eventually did .
