Circle of Trust

part five

    “Yeah, just trying to be the nice guy though.” Stephen said still throwing precious those bad looks.
“ I am matured and can take good care of myself.” Precious said finally glaring at Stephen.
It was already noticeable that the both had contradicting energy.
“You look Naïve though!” Stephen responded.
“At least better than obeying or listening to words from a spoilt and mannerless brat, get used to people not listening to every of your words and worshipping them like idols.”
“wow, who is taking about manners here?” Stephen asked amused.
Precious turned to go before bumping into Nuel
“sorry, are you okay?” Nuel asked concerned
“Yes, I just want to go home!” Precious said with a faint smile.
“I will take you home.” Nuel said holding precious by her shoulder
“Aren’t you guys coming?” Nuel asked his friends, who told him they would catch up on him later.
Nuel nudged precious to start walking, soon the two disappeared into the darkness.
“That girl is saucy!” one of the guys amongst them complained.
“She is tough!” another commented. “She isn’t tough as she looks to be, I'm so into the girl already..... But she isn't making things easy for me." Stephen said
“Why don’t we make it a game?” Davidson one of the guys suggested to Stephen with the other guys supporting Davidson idea.
“Ok!” Stephen agreed confidently. “it is obvious you two like each other, but it is so obvious you two needs a kind of pushing.” one of the guys said.
"So what's the plan?"  Stephen asked, There was whispers amongst the guys as they all came up with a plan.
"We should also inform Nuel and silver of this plan, or what do you guys think?" Stephen asked
"Sure!" The guys all chorused and it was sealed with bottles of wine.
  Precious briefly spoke with Mrs. Erica after she returned with Nuel before retiring into her room. it was obvious in her façade that she was upset about something and would probably burst out at the slightest provocation. Silver had took notice of her mood the moment she came in through the door, but she had killed the burning desire to find out what the problem is, but seeing precious retire to bed so early resurfaced the need to confirm if she was actually ok.
Saying goodnight to Mrs. Erica, silver retired to their room to find Precious still awake.
“Are you ok precious?” Silver asked looking at precious with worried eyes, it was evident that she cared a lot about her friend.
“This vacation was a bad idea after all!” Precious muttered.
“Why, Is anything the matter? Did someone upset you?” Silver asked confused.
“You didn’t tell me that the son of a pig was also coming with us for the vacation?” Precious asked angrily.
“And who are you referring to?” silver asked still confused. “The motherfucker got some Nerve, who does he think he is?” precious asked still fuming.
“I’m still in the dark here, who are you referring to?” silver asked rolling her eyes.
“Stephen of course!” Precious said with frustration.
“Oh! How was I supposed to know? He is my boyfriend’s alley have you forgotten?” silver asked with amused smile.
“I wish I found out earlier, I would have stayed back at ibadan.” Precious said playing with the tip of her nails.
“So what did he do this time? You two are always at logger heads.” Silver said smiling.
“What has he not done, from commanding me like a father…to shouting at me and telling me where to be and where not to be! Do I in anyways look like his robot?”  precious asked in anger.
Silver who was washing off the moisture from her face didn’t immediately reply until she was done. Sitting beside Precious, silver held her by her shoulder before replying. “see girlie, you are more of a sister to me, and I will only give you the right advice. To me, the guy actually meant no harm.” Silver defended.
“Like are you serious? The guy felt I’m a bad influence to you, can you imagine?” Precious asked and silver busted into laughter.
“You mean he said that?” silver asked amused
“Yes he said that and even more, and it’s not funny.” Precious replied
“I’m sorry about that, Just prove him wrong and ignore him if the need to ignore him arises.” Silver advised.
“Okay, I will try to.” Precious replied obviously not satisfied with silver's way of handling the issue.
“So tell me, how did it go with Nuel’s mom?” precious asked
  “she is the exact opposite of what I had in mind, like she is so much like a mom…. No critics and very understanding as well.” Silver replied with smiles..
“I hope to get lucky like you some day!” Precious said with dreamy smiles
“Girlie you are more prettier than I am. I’m certain you would find a very understanding person who will love you for who you are.” Silver assured.
“Thanks silver, you are a friend and more.” Precious said in appreciation.
“And you are also a pain in the ass!” silver added bursting into laughter.
The girls continued with their discussion, talking at length about other things before they finally fell asleep.
