章 21: Gideon is coming back...
''Come outside!''
''Are you outside my house?'' Inayah asked and picked her hoodie. She wore it over her light blue nightwear and went out of the house.
Inayah got closer to him and asked. ''Noah, is so late. What are you doing here?''
''Inayah, I missed you so much.'' Noah said and pulled her into a hug.
''I can't breathe Noah. Let go first and we will talk.'' Inayah pushed him away and looked at him uncomfortably.
''I'm sorry. Clara told me you had a fever. How are you now?'' Noah still held her hands as he asked. His gaze showed care and warmth. It made Inayah for a little guilty for being cold towards him
''I'm fine. The weather is cold, why did you come here?'' Inayah cleared her throat and asked.
''I was worried. I bought you the best medicine. Our family doctor prescribed it and I made our chef to prepare some soup for you. I had to bring them while is hot.'' Noah opened his backseat and brought out a blue food flask along with some medicine and fruits.
''You brought all these for me?'' Inayah blushed.
''Yes! Are you touched?'' Noah leaned closer and asked.
''You didn't have to, but thanks anyway.'' Inayah was grateful that he cared enough to bring her medicine and food.
''For you, I would do anything. I told you, I'm rich. You don't have to do anything; you just have to be healthy.'' Noah said and Inayah took the things from him and smiled.
''Whoa!!!! I must have saved this country in my past life to be given such a good friend.''
"I don't want to be your friend." Noah mumbled.
"What did you say?" Inayah asked.
''Okay, go inside. Make sure to drink all the soup.'' Noah didn't want to repeat himself. Since she didn't hear it the first time, he would let it be for now.
''Alright, go already. Is late!'' Noah waited until Inayah was inside her apartment before he turned towards the Maybach parked in front of the mansion and bowed at the man in the car before he got into his car and drove away with a sly smirk.
Jasper drove the car inside and got down. he went into his bedroom and stood by the side watching the shadow of the petite body walking around the room across his mansion.
...
Early the next morning...
''This is why is a bad idea to have two teenage girls under one roof. You girls are going to be the death of me.'' Miss Gladys said when she saw Inayah and Clara coming out of Inayah's house.
''I missed you, mom.'' Clara hugged her mother.
''Who are you kidding?'' Miss Gladys pushed Clara away lightly.
''Aunt, I'm sorry. It was my idea to sleep over here. Sorry for making you worried.''
''Tell me, kid. How did you get the keys to the house back?'' Miss Gladys asked and the girls tensed.
''Huh? It was…''
''It was delivered to the school yesterday. I called Ayah and we came here together.'' Clara replied hastily and she and Inayah laughed dryly.
''Yes, aunt. Because I didn't go to school, Clara took the keys for me.'' Inayah played along.
''How is your fever?'' Miss Gladys touched Inayah's forehead.
''Is gone, I'm fine now.''
''Get in, we will be late for school.'' Miss. Gladys said as she walked to the driver's seat.
She stopped in her strides when she saw two cars coming out of the mansion.
Inayah looked at the second car and met with the dark gaze of Jasper.
The initials on her shoulder acted up and she hissed, making Clara and Mrs. Gladys to rush to her side.
''Aaah!!!''
''Ayah.'' Clara saw the initials brighten up from under her school uniform and she furrowed her brows.
''Inayah, what's wrong?''
''Mom, I will sit in the back with Inayah.''
''Let's go to the hospital if you are feeling uncomfortable anywhere'' Miss. Gladys said as she looked at Inayah with a worried expression.
''I'm fine, aunt.'' Inayah touched her shoulder. This time, she was certain the presence of Jasper made her tattoo to hurt.
''Shouldn't we go to the hospital?'' She asked Inayah again.
''No, I will be fine. I think I'm hungry.'' Inayah lied to her aunt.
''Hungry, okay. Then, let me send you girls over to school fast so you can eat. I prepared your breakfast. Is in the car.''
''Then we will eat in the car.'' Clara opened the backseat door for Inayah to get in before her.
....
Fountain High.
Inayah went to sit under a bench when they got to school. She waited until Clara returned to her side with a bottle of water.
''Here...'' Clara handed the bottle of water over to her.
''Thanks.''
''It was shining, Ayah. The tattoo, what's going on?''
''I know.'' Inayah nodded her head.
''Last night, when you were sleeping, I saw it shine too.'' Clara sighed.
When she first saw it she was scared out of her wits and thought she was hallucinating, but she didn't want to wake Inayah up. She felt the initials were strange in the first place.
''You did? Why didn't you tell me? I was so scared out of my wits when I saw it the first time.''
''I thought you knew...''
''I don't know why is acting up in this manner. The first time, it happened when that devil touched me.''
''Is strange. Don't you think so? Even you don't know how you got it.''
''Did I perhaps die and got reincarnated?" Inayah frowned.
''Hey, do you think we are acting out a drama? what reincarnation? Hold on, Ayah. The devil kissed you that night and then, the tattoo started acting up. That means the kiss activated it."
Clara panicked after coming to such a conclusion. She held Inayah's hands saying. "Inayah, I think we should go an exorcist or a psychic. We need answers to what is happening to you.''
''An exorcist would be perfect. I really need an exorcist to get rid of my bad luck. I still can't believe I was kissed by that devil.''
''I see you're in school today. I wanted to call you but, my phone died. Are you alright?'' Samantha walked to them and asked.
''Oh, we are back to being a white lotus?'' Clara lifted her left brow as she asked.
''I was really worried about you, Inayah.'' Samantha ignored Clara and turned to look at Inayah.
''Really? I'm fine now.'' Inayah stood up. she could still remember everything Samantha said to Clara.
''I can see that. But, I overheard you mention someone kissing you? Wow! Do you have a boyfriend already?'' Her lips curved into a mocking smile as she asked.
''You heard wrong. Just now, we were discussing a movie we watched last night. Clara slept halfway into the movie so I was telling her what happened next.''
''Oh, I see. So, it was just a movie. That's a relief too, you know how this school is. It won't be good if they hear you have a boyfriend. Especially now that Gideon is getting back here today.'' Samantha stared at Inayah carefully, trying to read her reaction.
''Gideon is coming back, today? How?'' Inayah and Clara turned to look at each other.
