I stared down at the black coffee with irritation. Gross! It su-cks. I hate black coffee for christ sake. I know you will be wondering why i am forcing myself to take it. Well, if i had a choice then i won’t be here in the first place.
The rules in this house is really, really, really getting on my nerves. Jeffrey, Jayden, Jason, and Jackson were watching me closely.
“we are waiting.” Jason said.
I scowled at him and slowly stare down at the stupid black coffee. It is better to point a gun at me than to for-ce me to take this stupid thing.
I wish someone would just help me out here, i might die if i take a sip of this coffee. Okay, maybe i exaggerated there.
That reminds me, i haven’t set eyes on Josh or Joshua since this morning. I only saw Joshua stepping out for his morning run. Maybe i should join him in the morning run before i add up some weight. I slapped myself mentally, he would never take me along. NEVER.
Last night was really intense and scary. I know for sure that i wasn’t the Jessie they were talking about. I mean, how can two hot guys like Josh and Joshua fight over me? Tsk, not even in my dream.
I wonder who this Jessie could be. Is she beautiful? Is she girly? Is she also a superstar like the both of them? I found myself asking those questions last night. I think i should ask Josh about her, who knows maybe he would tell me…or maybe not.
“hey Princess.” Josh appeared at the bott-om of the stairs and headed towards us. I am already getting use to him calling me princess. But funny enough, as much as i hated the name, i prefer it to Jessie.
Hold on, maybe i could ask Josh to help me drink this coffee. At least they said i could ask anyone for help as long as they want to, but i can’t for-ce anyone into taking it.
“hey, Mr celebrity.” i called him. yeah, I’ve decided to be calling him that. Josh was pouring himself a chilled water in a cup when i called. He look up at me.
“instead of taking that water, why not take this instead?” I pointed at the coffee.
“why? you don’t like it?” He smir-ked. Of course, he will always smirk. what a jerk. I smiled and nodded my head yes. “well, i can’t be of help, princess,” What? He won’t help me after giving him my cutest smile? And yet he calls himself my boyfriend.
get a hold of yourself, Ash. He is your fake boyfriend. FAKE! and not your real boyfriend. A voice reminded me. I should never forget the different between fake and real.
I turned back to the coffee which was still waiting for me to drink it. I reach out to the mug and was slowly pulling it to my li-ps, in case Josh changes his mind.
“need help with that?” i heard from behind me at my left side. I quickly turned to the person and found myself staring at Joshua. Like i mean, Joshua.
“are you talking to me?” I asked. i couldn’t help it. I mean, miracle taking place somewhere? If it is, then Josh should better get ready.
He smiled. Wait, he just smiled. Joshua just smiled at me for the first time ever. I shouldn’t be a big deal out of it but don’t blame me, i am so surprise right now.
“yes. I’m talking to you.” He said.
“she doesn’t need your help, so back off.” Josh said as he walked and stood behind me at my right side. what? of course i need his help. i can’t drink this coffee and this gentleman here is willing to help, who am i to say no.
I smiled. “i really need your help.” I extended the mug of coffee to him. He was about to reach for it when someone else collected the mug from my hand and gulped the whole content in his mouth. Yuck! so gross. Josh dropped the empty mug on the table.
Everyone were staring at him with shock and that includes me. Why did he take it. I thought he said he wouldn’t be helping me with it. wait, was he jealous?
Josh started coughing. His face was looking so pale and weak all of a sudden.
Jeffrey and the others aside from Joshua and me ran towards him.
“why did you drink the coffee? you know you are allergic to it.” Jason scolded.
what? He was allergic to coffee? why didn’t he tell me? no, that isn’t the question here, the question here is, why did he drink the coffee when he knows he was allergic to it?
Before i knew it Josh was lying down in an unconscious state on the floor. Oh my God, I’ve killed someone.

Why Josh had taken the mug from me and drank the whole disgusting thing when he knows fully well that he might die still remain a history to me.
Since we got to the hospital, my gaze hasn’t left him as he slept. His li-ps were a bit parted and he looked so pale. Fu-ck that coffee.
The Js had come along but had to leave for an important meeting, so that left me with Josh. Alone.
Honestly, i miss him, i miss his annoying behavior, i miss him calling me princess and teasing me. Damn! what am i thinking? i quickly shove those ridiculous thought from my head before i go insane.
Josh and i are two different people who can never move along or und-erstand each other. He is just an annoying playboy and as for me, i am just a tomboy who doesn’t believe in love after the problem i had years ago. So you see, we are the complete opposite.
Although i felt guilty. If i had just drank the coffee then all this wouldn’t have happen. I mean, i won’t die if i had drank the coffee, right? Hold on a sec, i didn’t for-ce him in taking the coffee, he yank the mug from my grasp and took the whole content, i didn’t for-ce him. I sighed. Even at that, i know i still owe him.
“it’s so noisy in here.” I heard a weak voice said. I looked around the room and finally settled my gaze on Josh. He was staring at me. “your thought would not let me have a good sleep, princess.” He added. Oh, here comes the name i missed. Princess.
I scowled at him. “shut up, Jacka-ss. you are just waking up from the land of the dead and the first thing you thought of doing is to tease me.”
He smiled and shrugged his shoulder. “it’s so fun.” He tries to get up to a sitting position.
“wait let me help you.” I got up and went over to him, as i placed a hand on his arm he yank it off.
“don’t pity me.” He said.
“i am not pitying you, dummy. I just want to help.” I reach out to his arm but this time around he didn’t yank it off. I helped him up in a sitting position and pressed a buzzer to call in the doctor.
“how are you feeling?” i asked. He didn’t reply me but was just staring at me. “it’s rude to ignore people.”
“Oops, my bad.” He said sarcastically. a-sshole.
“you could have died.” I mumbled.
“I’m not dead, princess.” He paused. “hey, seems like you missed me” He smir-ked.
Really? Even on the sick bed, he is still smirking.
I rolled my eyes. “you wish.” i lied. There’s no way am going to make him know that i missed him.
“ouch! that hurts.” He look at me from head to toe. “whoa, you look different.” I furrowed my brows at him. “it’s a good different, don’t worry.”
I tried not to blus-h. I really tried. it’s not like he said am beautiful and here i am blus-hing like a fool.
“just shut up.”
“and if i don’t?” He pouts. Gosh! He look so adora….rephrase, he is still an a-sshole. “tell me, what are you gonna do if i don’t keep quiet? ki-ss me?”
The thought of ki-ssing him felt so great. I suddenly remember the ki-ss he had given me on my ne-ck. It wouldn’t be a bad idea if he ki-ssed me on my li-ps. My heart fluttered as i imagined it. Gosh, Stupid heart of mine!
“awwn, you are blus-hing.” what? am i seriously blus-hing? i quickly turned my face away, i feel so stupid right now. I could hear his laughter.
Idiot!
I can’t let it end like this. I need to put an end to his laughter. I thought for a while and then an idea struck me. I’ve being thinking about the reason why Josh had done what he did this morning but couldn’t find a reasonable answer…so how about hear it from the horses mouth.
I turned to him, he was still laughing. “why did you drink the coffee this morning when you know it will put you in this state?” His face dropped and so did the laughter died down.
yes! I win. Take that a-sshole.
“i don’t know.” He answered, looking away.
“you don’t know? How is that even possible?”
He opened his mouth to take when the door burst open and it revealed the doctor and two other nurses.
They made their way to us. The nurses were blus-hing and smiling. Yeah! of course, it’s because of Josh. Who else will make they turn into a red tomato? Girls! God, they can be so dramatic sometimes.
“so how are you feeling now, Mr Josh?” The doctor asked.
“great.” Josh answered.
The doctor felt his pulse and check his eyes as well. “that’s great. Thank God, the coffee didn’t cause a lot of damage. Why did you drink the coffee?”
I lean in closer to hear what he was going to say. Call me a gossip, i don’t care but I’m not going to leave here until i hear his reason.
Josh cleared his throat, looking at me. “there is no reason. i just drank the coffee by accident.” He smirk at me when i look up at him.
Liar!
The doctor nods his head. “you need to be careful. Okay?” Josh nods his head in agreement. “Okay, then. you can be discharged now. But when you get home make sure you have enough rest, okay?”
“okay.” Josh replied.
“Thank you, doc.” I said with a smile.
“it’s my job. So all you have to do is to take care of him when he gets home, besides you are his girlfriend.” He winked and left with the other nurses.
what? This feels so awkward. He is not even my boyfriend.

We were already heading out of the hospital. There were reporters everywhere and fans as well. As soon as one of them sighted us, he started screaming. “They are here, they are here.” Soon we were surrounded by reporters and fans.
The girls screaming. “we love you! hope you get better! we are here for you, king Josh.”
I felt so amazed. Josh is loved by this people. They love him and are willing to do anything for him. But being the jackas-she is, he doesn’t even care.
There were big and hefty guys who were helping us clear the way so we could pas-sthrou-ghthe crowd and enter the car which was awaiting us.
Josh lean on me and whispered something to my ear. “isn’t this the best time?”
I stopped on my track and turned to him, he had also stopped walking and was staring at me too. What was he talking about? What does he want to do?
“good evening everyone.” Josh greeted with a smile. His fans started screaming and cheering him on.
Girls!
“I’m sure there was a scandal going on, on a video of a girl and i.” Wait, no way. Josh is not going to tell this that we are dating, right? I mean, now is not the best time. He is just coming out of the hospital and me, i look like a freak. Okay, it’s not like i care about how i looked on the camera but i look so messy.
“is the rumor true?” A reported asked.
“yes. we did make out there.”
That wasn’t a make out, jacka-ss. I almost said but held myself or else i would be rushed into that hospital because of his fans who are now glaring at me.
“who is she to you?” Another person asked.
Josh smiled at me and turned back to the camera. “she is my…girlfriend.”
Oh my God. I could feel my heart pound. Get a hold of yourself, Ash. It’s part of the plan. it’s not like_ Someone held my hand pulling me out of my thought.
I stare down at the hand, it was Josh who held me. I look up to his face he was smiling at me. He slowly took my hand up to his li-ps and dropped a soft ki-ss on my knuckles. Of course, my foolish heart fluttered. The flashlight increases. We were both staring at each other eyes. I was lost in those beautiful grey eyes. What’s wrong with me?
Josh was the first to look away to the camera. His face was so ha-rd and was full of seriousness this time around. It looked like he was going to say something. What does he want to say again. The curious side of me was activated.
“She’s mine.” I heard him say. What? i was his? Is this part of the plan or what? But we didn’t discuss this part. I could see the hardness on his face. He wasn’t just saying this. He was actually talking to someone out there. But who could it be? TBC.
Question: Who do u think Josh is talking to?
