Chapter 30: Chapter 30

Beauty with teary eyes, walked out of the closet making sure she hit the door hard.

"Come on, let's go before we are late for class." Bethel said not caring about what just happened.

During lunch, Precious told Bethel all that had happened yesterday with her uncle and she didn't miss out to tell him about her accident.

"Do you wanna go out with me this weekend?" Bethel asked.

Precious smiled, "Sure."

When school ended, Bethel had taken Precious away before his driver arrived. School usually closed by 1am on Wednesday but due to extracurricular activities, they'd stay till 2am.

The distance from Royal stone high school to Lekki leisure lake wasn't far, you could walk there. Precious couldn't believe she was in Lekki leisure lake as she had only heard of it but not seen it.

They got past the first gate to where the fee was to be paid to get into the place.

"Wow!" Precious muttered looking at the clean beach. There were tents where people sat down and a place where drinks and barbeque were sold.

"Are you hungry?" Bethel asked, entwining his finger with Precious.

"I want Pina colada," she had wanted to taste the drink. She gasped when she heard the price of it but Bethel gave them his card paying for it.

She saw how people rode the squad bike and she wanted to try it.

The man had asked them their choice of ride; the pontoon boat, jet ski, wave boat, zip line, beach buggy, pedal board and paddle boat.

"So which one?" He asked, whispering in her ears.

She sucked on her bottom lips, she couldn't believe he was doing this for her.

The man left them to attend to another while they made their choices. Precious heaved a breath before pulling Bethel closer, she raised her legs up and kissed him.

"What was that for?" He asked with a smile playing on his lips.

Precious shrugged, "Can't I just kiss my boyfriend?" She asks rhetorically before realising what she just said.

Precious suddenly felt embarrassed that she had named them already.

"Since I'm your boyfriend, you are my girlfriend, right? Bethel asked, raising his brows.

Precious smiled.

Bethel brings her face up and kisses her longer than she expected in public.

"How about the wave boat," Precious spoke after a while.

"Sure girlfriend." He said emphasizing more on the girlfriend.

If Precious thought riding the roller coaster yesterday was amazing, the wave boat did magic on her. She screamed with joy while Bethel watched her.

They didn't get on any other ride as it was getting late and Precious knew her uncle must be looking for her.

"Shit! How could I have forgotten?" Precious face palmed herself.

"What's wrong?" Bethel asked with a worried expression evident on his face.

"My uncle must be worried," she told him, as they hurried back to the school.

Precious was surprised to see her uncle waiting by his car. She rushed to let him.

"I'm so sorry, uncle Gideon." Precious spoke as soon as she greeted him.

"You are so lucky I haven't called your mother yet." He cuts her off.

"Where were you?" He asked.

"If not for a friend of yours that told me, you went out with someone, I would have gone round searching everywhere." He added.

"I asked two guys about you, and they said you were their classmate and you went out with their friend and would be back soon, who did you go..." Gideon trailed off as his eyes landed on Bethel.

"Who is he?" He questioned

"I'm Bethel." Bethel spoke for himself.

"Oh!" Gideon nods his head. "He is your friend? Where did you take her to?" He asked.

"He is helping me study," Precious was quick to speak up.

"Really?" He raised his brows.

"Okay, lets go, it's getting late." Gideon said.

"See you later." She waved at Bethel.

While Gideon was turning to the driver's seat, Bethel gave Precious a quick kiss and smirked.

He has a lot of guts. Precious thought as she blushed.

"You. Are. Crazy." She mouthed to him and smiled.

"Hop in Precious!" Gideon hollered.

After having dinner, Gideon called for Precious.

"Who was that boy to you and where did you really go?" He asked, making Precious heart skip.

She was caught, she knew and there was not denying.

"Be honest, I'm not gonna bite and besides you can trust me." He said.

Something told Precious to confide in him and she did so.

"He...he...is my Boyfriend and we went on a date." She spoke up.

"I didn't mean to keep you waiting, I totally forgot and he took me immediately when the bell rang." Precious added quickly.

He smiled. Precious was shocked. Why was he smiling? She thought.

"You...you are smiling." Precious stuttered.

"Yes, I'm not angry with you. It's natural for teenagers but why did you hide it from me." He questioned

"No worries about that, just don't let your mom know and be careful." He added, opening the newspaper.

"You don't have a problem with me seeing him?" She questioned.

"It's natural, that's to let you know, you are growing up. Don't go more than the kissing level and be really careful." Gideon spoke but he made sure she knew he was serious about his last statement.

Precious laughed, how she wished he was in her life all along.

The best uncle ever! She thought.

"And I saw him kissing you." He spoke as Precious was about to go into her.

She stopped on her track!

When Bethel reached his house, he was invited by his father to see him. Bethel knocked on the door and was told to come in.

"How could you do this Bethel!". Bidemi yelled, catching Bethel off guard.

Bethel was shocked as his father has never yelled at him before.

His father had told him of Beauty's call and what she had seen him do with Precious but Beauty didn't mention her name.

"Who is she?!" Bidemi yelled

"Who is she?!" Bethel was unshaken by his action, he knew his father wouldn't raise his hands on him.

He rested well on his chair staring at his father as if all he said wasn't meant for him.

"Aren't you the one I'm talking to?!" He yelled!

Bethel got pissed, his father and him had no deal like this and he raised his voice back.

"Father, I don't like Beauty and I have no interest, its either you accept it now or later." Bethel said firmly.

"You don't wanna know what I can do Bethel." He said, his voice came out in a threatening well.

"Don't try me, because I will go to any length to destroy her and her family. He spoke with venom.

Bethel got alerted, He knew the issue was just arising.
