Chapter 13
~The warning~
Their noses met but he stopped before their lips could meet. His eyes opened back and he withdrew from her.
Mokee let out a slow unnoticeable relief sigh the moment he backed away, she was already planning within on smashing his head if he tries anything funny with her.
"Monkey would probably break my neck if she catches me doing this..." She could hear him snickers.
"Sleep tight...and dream of me" He whispers, resuming to stroking her hair. His back reclined and he closes his eyes trying to get some sleep also.

"I FOUND THEM!!!" One of the rescue team shouted gaining the rest attention.
All ran to where he is and was surprised to see both in the large pit sleeping soundly in each other's arms.
"What are they doing?"
"Oh, my they look so cute!"
"Look at them, they look so lovely together"
Comments began flying around so as murmurs.
Both Nana and Orion who was there also watch down at them with displease expression.
Orion's face stiffened, while a frown constructed on Nana's face.
"Mokee wake up!" Nana shouted.
"Someone get the robe!! Hurry!!" Orion ordered.

Cove came out of the bathroom with only towel wrapped around his waist, his hair wet and water dripping from his body also.
It's obvious he just finished bathing. His phone chimed from the bed it was and he walked over to it drying his hair with another towel in his hand.
It was a text from his new manager.
He hung the towel around his neck and picked up the phone checking it.
A large smile spread on his lips the moment he saw the text message.
"What's got you grinning like a Cheshire?" He heard a voice by the door step and turns seeing Orion standing there.
"Hey" He greeted and return his gaze to his phone.
Orion walked in and just then his phone chimed also. It was a text from Cove.
"What's this?" Orion asked looking at him.
"You asked what I was grinning at. My manager just sent me this now, check it out" Cove said and Orion return his gaze to his phone clicking on the message. It was a picture actually.
"Isn't that cute?" Cove asked, chuckling.
Orion's face however became hardened, he returned his phone to his pocket.
"Cove we need to talk" Orion said taking a seat.
"Wait a minute, let me quickly do something"
"Now. I mean now Cove" Orion said sternly, surprising him.
"Al... alright. Why are you being so serious suddenly..." Cove muttered taking a seat also.
"What is it?" He asked
"I want you to do something for me?" Orion said .
"What is it?"
"Leave Mokee alone" He said bluntly. Cove raised a brow.
"I can't watch you playing her anymore. She doesn't deserve any of your stupid games Cove. Up until now I've never meddled in your dating life but this, I can't overlook, she's too innocent and kind for you to hurt. So I want you to leave her alone" Orion said with a serious expression on.
"What makes you think I'm gonna hurt her?"
"You're going to. That's what you do Cove. We both know that." Orion replied.
"Orion i_"
"I'm begging you. Just leave her alone... please" He said making him speechless.

"Are you sure you're really okay?" Nana asked for the umpteenth time as mokee lies on the bed.
"Are you aware you've asked me this over a million times now? I told you I'm fine. Really" Mokee replied.
"Just to be sure. That jerk didn't do anything funny to you, did he?" She asked again.
"What do you mean?" Mokee asked back.
"You know what I mean" Nana said .
"Nana..." Mokee called.
"Come on girl, you two were in there alone for a whole night. We both know the kind of a person he is and what he's capable of doing" Nana said.
"Well, you do know the kind of person I am also and in case you don't I'll be honored to tell you I'm not just an easy girl that will fall into his trap okay?" Mokee said back clearly pissed off.
"I didn't mean it like that. I'm sorry I was just worried. You wouldn't just fall for him or let him do anything to you despite knowing the kind of a scum he is. You should rest for now, I'll leave first" She covers her with the duvet properly then walk out of the room.
Mokee sighs and was about closing her eyes when her phone chimed.
It was a message from him. She clicked on it and saw a photo of them sleeping in each other's arms. It was probably taken that morning.
"𝙳𝚘'𝚗𝚝 𝚠𝚎 𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚔 l𝚘v𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎?" He sent also but she rolled her eyes dropping the phone.
She tried to sleep but the other night came back to her, how she had felt him moving closer to kiss her.
"Get hold of yourself Mokee!" She slaps her cheeks.
"He's of no good. Let's just sleep" She turned to her side, closing her eyes.
~JEMMA'S APARTMENT ~
"WHAT!!" Jemma land a resonating slap on the figure standing in front of her
"I told you to deal with her not hook her up with Cove!" She flared.
"I was certain she went there herself, I don't know how Cove got to be with her this morning in the pit" The figure said with his head lowered.
"Then you should have double-checked! Why on earth did I pay you uh! Get lost you dimwit!!" She howled and the figure went out immediately.
"The f**k! Mokee... you're really daring me aren't you? You dare drag Cove with you. Don't think I'll stop here...I won't stop till I crush you completely! Just wait..." She seethes angrily.
~DAYS LATER ~
Immediately Cove got out of the Van opened by his manager, Nana double-crossed him.
"Oh! It's banana! Monkey's friend whom I dated before. Hi, what are you doing here?" Cove smiles broadly at her.
