Celsie was tired of being labeled as an introvert, workaholic, and dull virgin by her friends. Determined to prove them wrong, she made a bet that she would do something daring on her 25th birthday, coinciding with her recent promotion. Now that the day had arrived, it was time to fulfill her promise.
As a newcomer to the city of Serenopolis, Celsie felt a surge of nervousness as she stepped into a lively bar. However, to her surprise, the bartender was incredibly friendly, making her realize that maybe bars weren’t as bad as she had imagined. With her daring checklist in hand, there was one task left to complete: having a one-night stand with someone.
But Celsie wasn’t one to act recklessly. As she searched for a suitable candidate, she came across a charming and intriguing young man named Benne. Unbeknownst to her, Benne had recently been used by several women and longed to find someone who loved him for his personality rather than his wealth.
Would love ignite between Celsie and Benne? Let’s discover their story below.
“Just come out plain and say you want to know if I’m in a relationship yet,” Jade said while Sonia slowly made her way to the door. “Well, there is that. But more than that I want to know if you are really fine. You don’t have to leave on my account, Sonia,” Evelyn said…
Sonia headed downstairs in search of Celsie after confirming that she wasn’t in Benne’s bedroom. Her steps faltered when she saw Celsie entering the house with Desmond, who was holding his pair of sneakers in his hands, and they were both laughing at something. From the sound of Celsie’s laughter, Sonia could tell that it…
“Remember how you kept trying to replay all you had said to pinpoint exactly what he could have heard?” Celsie asked, and Sonia raised a hand to her face, which was burning in embarrassment from the memory. “We should probably go to bed now. It’s almost one in the morning, and we are out here…
If it weren’t so late in the night, she probably would have given him a call. She still had to clear up that little lie before leaving if she didn’t want it to fester and cause unnecessary problems. She was worried enough already about developing feelings for him and being scared that the feeling might…
“I… I was embarrassed and ashamed of myself. I know that you were drunk, and I should have stopped you. I’m sorry for not stopping you. I was caught off guard,” Harry explained, and even as the words left his mouth, he cursed himself for taking the cowardly way out. Caught off guard? Yes, she…
“I understand. You have every right to be mad,” Benne said as he took both her hands in his. Celsie took a deep breath, “Yeah. I was mad, but I don’t think I’m mad anymore. Your dad talked to me, and then I felt better. Although it still hurts that my mother said that to…
“Alright, go and clean up. I will take care of the sheets,” Benne said, but Celsie remained there looking at him uncertainly, and mentally willing him to excuse her. “Go on,” Benne urged her as he glanced at the wall clock. It was almost 6 AM already. They had barely slept for three hours. By…
“Jamal?” She asked, and when Benne nodded she asked, “Why?” Benne quickly gave her a recap of everything Jade had told him, and then she sighed, “Poor kid. Everyone seems to be having some sort of drama in their life.” Before Benne could respond to that, Celsie’s phone started ringing, and she took it out…
“Are you monitoring his movement?” Andrew asked coldly before she could finish, leaving her speechless, but only for a moment. “No, I’m not. His boss called my dad, and that’s how I heard about it. Where are you? Are you guys back? I can come over to the house immediately and then we can find…
“To being friends,” he said, and Celsie laughed softly at his enthusiasm as she shook his hand. “So back to my question. How are you Celsie?” He asked again. “I’m trying my best to be okay. Benne told me about your suggestion,” Celsie said, and Harry nodded. “Why don’t we talk for a moment in…
