Chapter:70 Unsaid Wish

Drake POV

The thought of having Zena around my school gives me restless and knowing that I might bump into her drives me crazy.

I can't deal with having her around I won't go close to her.

Is there something I am getting right now?

Could she be the reason why Kate forgave me?

No! Not at all! I doubt if she is aware, but it's fine I will see how things play out.

I turned on my truck ignition and the key was just veering around without catching a glimpse of the battery current to spark up.

I swerve the key again and no current,

“Shit!”

I murmured after taking a deep breath, I knew the truck battery must have torn off again, so I came down from the car straight to the truck bonnet.

The old swing sound sounded, but another sound had occurred the moment, I opened the truck bonnet.

I paused stretching the bonnet door wide while I eavesdrop to guess where the sound is coming from,

While I eavesdrop, I could the sound like someone is walking but It suddenly stop.

I peeked left and right to see anyone around, but no presence was known.

So, I went to the back of my truck and got a spanner, while I returned to the bonnet and bang the head of the battery wire.

The moment I whack the spanner on the battery it sparks a quick current light, then I return to the truck after I had closed the bonnet and swerved the key then the truck ignited.

It was 1:45 am when I got home, everywhere was quiet and the inside lights were turned off only the front door lights were on.

I had my door keys so I need not knock for Kate to open the door, I fuse my key and opened the door.

The house was dark that I quietly went in using the ray light reflection from the outside to see through the room,

“Kate!

Are you asleep?”

There was no sound so I touched her because maybe she is fast asleep, but she wasn't there only the pillow that was placed in form of a person is lying there.

The moment I felt she is not the one, I got disappointed that she left the house without waiting for me.

So angry that I had to put on the room light to be sure she is not playing a prank on me yet she was nowhere to be found.

I checked the living room she was absent, looked around the house no sign of her.

Her purse was all gone!

The thought of her weaken me and I dropped myself on the sofa in the living room.

I was still lying on the sofa but my thought was kicking around about what James said about seeing Zena, the next minute I had imagined not getting back with Kate but finding means to continue being friends with Zena.

It was so simple ways I could be around her, maybe get her a nice apartment, take her to lectures then pick her up after lectures, and then we hang out just like new long-time friends.

Having her imagination in my head brightens my mind and I smile the moment her reflection plays in my heart.

Her deep green eyes, and some cute lips.

Gosh!!

Could it be that I'm falling for Zena or I'm in love with Zena?

But, then again, I remember how I left her and the nasty things I said to her, she not being my taste and the rest of it tied me up.

I was actually doing all that for her safety because Kate is one person I can't trust then.

And Zena, on the other hand, is a difficult person too, but it's two years now, guess she has gotten everything about me so I have to move on.

But where in hell is Kate?

Immediately, there was a well-mannered knock at the door,

Of which I know it's no other person than Steve the security man.

So I sluggishly reach the door but the noisy feeling I get tells me that it's more than one person at the door,

So I forcefully grab the door handle so I can smack whoever it was, on verge of me swing myself I busted into,

“Happy Birthday !!🎂🎂🎂🎂🎁 🎁 🎁

My heart explodes into space that I could not tell if I was happy, sad, or anything but I knew I was happy and giggling at the surprise birthday party.

Kate was holding my cake and twenty-three candles with lights on it, she smile the moment I left a kiss on her lips and she announced while still standing at the door post,

“Make a wish my love!”

Of course, I'm not a dumped wishes are not forced to be made or saying your wish loud,

But I knew I made my wish and blew the candles,

At the moment I blew off they all cheered up with their birthday whistle.

Kate was still smiling but not as deep as she was smiling before,

“I love you!” I said to Kate and she applauded,

“I love you too Drake!” she smile and but I was quick to ask her,

“We have been separated for months so I thought you could have forgotten about my birthday ” she asserted,

“How could I have forgotten my prince charming special day?”

Looking at her and her lovely smile I could not resist kissing her,

We were still kissing but we were separated by my naughty friend James, and how he and Kate get to work together still got me surprised too.

James never allows the mood to go boring because he always has something to say or do.

It was fun and we had for about four hours and everyone disappeared it was just me and Kate.

I was busy reading my birthday wishes some students had wished me on the school Facebook group page and I had time to reply to them,

But still scrolling through the Facebook timeline and I saw an old news feed, names of students for the scholarship program Charvy University, then I clicked the link opened,

My heart was skipping so fast of what I might see, then

Bloom!,

My sight catch up glimpse of Angus, Zena Elizabeth was the first name on the list.
