Episode 9
Daisy's pov:
"Come on do it girl" Chloe urged me and I laughed nervously.
"Uhn I don't think that's a good idea, there has to be something else that starts with L" I said
"Yes there better be something else" Sophie said sounding so upset.
"If there's something else then think about it" Kimberly said with a shrug and I was already sweating inside.
What do I do?
It's really weird for me to lap dance Aiden but I don't want to strip either.
Oh God! What have I gotten myself into?
"Come on Daisy just do it, it's no biggie" Yvonne said
"Alright alright" I said and raised my hands in surrender. I exhaled roughly before standing up.
I walked timidly to Aiden and he just stared at me with an expressionless face, making me feel more uncomfortable.
I sat on his laps and waited patiently for the music then Chloe started playing Up by Cardi B and I started twerking, whining up my waist in the best way I could, just for him.
Chloe and Yvonne clapped there hands in excitement to keep me going while Sophie was fuming furiously.
"Go Daisy, go Daisy, go Daisy"
Then I finally stopped and stood up from his lap.
They applauded me but Sophie just frowned and looked away in jealousy.
"You are really good at this babe" Chloe said with a light chuckle and I smiled nervously.
"As if" Sophie said with a scoff
"As if what?" Chloe said and stared disdainfully at Sophie
"We all know she's no match for me" Sophie said proudly and I just rolled my eyes.
"Yes she can never be a match for you because she's far better than you are" Yvonne said with a hiss while Chloe smirked.
I just ignored them and focused on Aiden. He wasn't smiling at all and his expression was still the same, he didn't even hold me while I was dancing.
It was as if what I did, didn't have any effect on him.
Or I didn't do it right?
Or he didn't like it?
Or he's not just in the mood?
Gosh why am I just revolving on this issue, it's just a stupid dance... right?
Hmmm
"It's okay girls, enough of the rants" Kim said and turned to Aiden.
"Would you want to rate that?" She asked him and he shook his head negatively making me feel bad.
He definitely didn't like it...I just made a fool of myself infront of the whole world watching this.
Chloe and Yvonne did theirs but I wasn't really paying attention anymore to what ever they were doing.
I was more or less tired?!
I excused myself and retired to my room. I laid quietly on the bed and operated my phone. I decided to check my votes this time and I gasped.
VOTES;
1. CHLOE JONES: 5, 900, 620V
2. SOPHIE ALEX: 5, 750, 369V
3. YVONNE GUILL: 3, 465, 580V
4. KIMBERLY RYAN: 3, 465, 578V
5. DAISY: 2, 990, 210V
I covered my mouth in shock when I saw my votes.
How come?
How did manage to hit not just one million but two?!
A smile curved my lips when I knew that now, the possibility of being disqualified has been reduced. That means definitely before the end of this week I should be talking of four million.
I screamed excitedly before going into the bathroom to take a quick shower.
Aiden had said that we should meet at the kitchen every night so I need to look good.
I put on my white nightie together with the coating made if white net. I adjusted the hands of the night gown and stared at the mirror....I arranged my hair and stared at my face again making sure I look okay. I sprayed just a little perf on my nightie and checked out myself again and again.
Gosh what is wrong with me?
Don't I look okay already?
Urgh!
I opened the door knob gently because I knew that everyone must have gone to their respective rooms upstairs.
I tiptoed to the kitchen but surprisingly I met Kimberly with him there already and I gasped.
It broke me so much but I couldn't do anything at all. I thought he took it as our special place?
Gosh what was I thinking, I should have known that Kimberly must have watched us discussing about it.
What's her problem anyway?
They both turned to look at me and I pretended as if I was looking for something.
"Hi Daisy" Kim said with a smile like I don't know what she's up to.
Chancing is allowed now right? No problem.
I feigned a smile and grabbed a bottle water from the refrigerator. I was about to leave but...
"Daisy" Aiden called and I stopped but didn't say anything or even turn.
He didn't say any other thing after that and so, I left.
He knew I was so upset for me to just walk out like that but I wasn't ready to look at him, after all he didn't even grade the lap dance I gave him. It should be very easy for him to replace me with someone else in our special spot.
It's no longer special anyway since he had already chosen someone else.
I dropped the bottle water on the dinning table on my way to the room because I wasn't really thirsty.
I walked into my room and shut the door. I slumped on the bed and stared at the ceiling for a while before rolling over in frustration. I wasn't happy that all the dress up I did was just for nothing.
.

I played games on my phone, read some documentaries and finally got so bored. I wasn't ready to sleep at all because I thought I would spend more time with Aiden.
No matter how hard I try to distract myself, my mind still thought of what Kim would be discussing with Aiden now and how he would laugh to her boring jokes.
What am I even thinking about?
I wasn't this bothered when Chloe spent a night, in his room!
So why am I upset?
Or am I...jeal...No...No no no I can't even say that word to myself because I'm not jealous of anything.
"But what about when Sophie massaged Aiden in the morning?" my subconsciousness asked and I rolled my eyes.
Oh shut up, I wasn't jealous...
Was I?
No! Sophie was just asking like a pest, if not already a pestilence.
I hissed and just laid down on my tommy with the back of my hand on my chin lost in thoughts but then I heard a knock on my door making me freeze.
I stood up and walked towards it wondering who would want to disturb me now.
I opened the door only for me to find Aiden in front of me. I was surprised but I made sure I didn't show it.
"You dropped this" he said showing me the water bottle I had kept on the dinning and I just collected it.
"Thanks.....(Clears throat lightly) Anything else?" I asked and just stared at background object instead of looking at him.
"Can I come in, please?" He asked and I stared at him in a question of 'are you being serious right now?' but he meant it.
"Sure" I replied breezily before letting him through.

Aiden's pov:
I chuckled inwardly because of the way she acted so... I don't even know.
I don't know but I think I'm getting too loosed with her. I just want to talk to her these days and having a conversation with her makes me satisfied.
She's just the only one I feel, has the same mixed emotions just as I am. I noticed how jealous she was when she saw me and Kimberly.
She doesn't understand that I'm trying to study everyone in the house but right now I think I know who I'm interested in for now but I want to make sure I know her more but I still prefer Daisy.
I walked into her room and what welcomed me was the sweet orange fragrance.
I loved the air in here.
"So what brings you here? Aren't you supposed to be busy with someone?" She asked with her arms folded and I chuckled lightly.
"You couldn't even hide your jealousy" I said with a smirk and walked closer
"What are you talking about? I'm not jealous of anything" she replied avoiding eye contacts with me.
I walked really close to her and she took a few steps backwards then I stopped.
"You should know that we cannot make that place a special hangout" I said
"I know" she replied with a huff
"Okay fine I'm sorry I tolerated Kim" I said and she furrowed her eyebrows furrowed at me before rolling her eyes. I laughed and she scoffed...
"You think it's funny?" She asked and hit me with a pillow.
"You look so funny when you are angry" I said with a chuckle.
"Oh shut up" she said with a smile and hit me with the pillow.
I took a pillow and hit her with it too then we started a pillow fight.
"Okay so you really think you are fast enough to hit me..." before I could finish my sentence, another pillow landed on my face and she laughed.
"Who's fast enough now?" she asked with a smirk and I chuckled
"Alright alright you are the winner" I said with a eye rolled and she chuckled.

Daisy's pov:
He laid down flat on the bed and stared at the ceiling, while I laid on my tommy and stared at his face.
I was really happy that we were finally having a great time together like I've always wanted.
I stared at his face and helped him path his hair that covered his right eye with my index finger. His gaze landed on me and I stared away with my cheeks already flushing.
"I think we are in the best position to discuss what we couldn't last time" he said and I gulped hard.
"So tell me everything now" he said calmly and I thought of how to arrange my words.
"Uhm..."
"Just say it the way it comes" he said and I sighed.
"I'm not really rich! (Paused) like the way everyone thinks I am" I said and he stared at me weirdly.
"So? Do I care about that?" He asked with a nonchalant attitude and I was surprised.
"If anyone should know about it I'll definitely loose a lot of votes if not all" I added and lowered my gaze to the floor.
"I...I really wanted to be part of this show because of you...I really like you so much when I saw you but again one of the directors of an organization in America offered to sponsor me but it was because of the money attached to it. If I should win, I'll give him part of the money while I'll use the rest for Mum who's sick of cancer" I said he sighed.
"I'm not in the show just because of the money, don't get me wrong" I said to him trying to prove my point but...
"I understand" he replied and I nodded
"But where you working before?" He asked
"Yes, I had a small bakery and that was what I was doing to raise my mum's funds gradually before I found a better opportunity" I replied and played with the tip of my fingers.
"You took a brave step though but do you know how she's faring now?" He asked and I tears clouded my eyes when I remembered that the percent chance of her living was very low.
"Just a 20% chance of survival" I replied with a sniff and a sad expression.
"You don't have to worry okay? She would be fine" he said and made me rest my head on his chest.
He stroke my hair as I listened to his heartbeat.
"Do you dislike me after all these I've said?" I asked and he chuckled.
"Of course not" he replied and I smiled.
"Why didn't you grade me earlier on today?" I asked
"Nothing" he replied
"You... didn't like it?" I asked and stared at his face.
He smirked and stared down at my lips...that was when I realized how close our faces were.
"What?" I whispered and he fixed the loosed strand my hair behind my ear still staring so deeply at me.
"I wish I could kiss you..." He whispered back and I chuckled.
"Why are you just wishing? Go for it" I whispered again
"But I'm sorry...I can't" he said and I felt a c***k in my heart
