Mercy's pov
My day was going well until some girl decided to sit beside me in my last class, she was so babbling as if she knows me, I did I'm what good at, avoided her, gave her the silent treatment, she did not seem to mind though, the more I gave her a cold shoulder the more chatty she was.
I ended up losing my temper " don't you know how to interpret gestures?" I yelled at her which invited attention to us, she looked at me and smirked a little before mouthing " nice one dragon keep the fire coming".
The lecturer asked if have a problem, I wanted to scream damn yes, please move the chatterbox next to me, but come to think of it the lecturer would not, I saw a slight smile playing on his lips when I lost my temper instead of being vexed he smiled, that didn't make sense to me.
I rolled my eyes" he likes you" the Barbie doll next to me disturbed my peace once again, I breathe in slowly" do you ever get tired of talking " she chuckled.
The chatty barbie me everywhere I went she was so troublesome, I felt like my head was about to explode for the past 4 weeks she's been following me around like a lost puppy, I even git used to her being around I did not treat her as a friend, not as a for either, she was just someone I have grown fond too,
My walls were too high to let anyone on, but her persistence and determination made me change my mind, I did not scowl, scold and give her the cold shoulder anymore.
I would nod or shake my head when she asks something guess what the girl was over the mood the first time I joined in in her conversations even when it was shaking and nodding my head, every morning I anticipated her new weird topics, I once smiled at her, it was like a gave a beggar a slice who has not eaten for weeks.
I was at the cafeteria eating my usual bagger and fries, " how come you eat so much junk every day yet you still have this perfect figure?"
I shot her a look and continued with my lunch, someone passed by us, the which of the entire varsity Stella a rich spoiled bitch.
" new girl out of all the people you chose to hang out with this outcast" oh yeah that I am, I'm not from a rich family, 90% of the students here are from rich families, those who are not rich, they have connections.
You must be wondering how I got in, well I'm sort of a nerd who does not want to admit that is actually a nerd. I had good grades still have, Tom told me about some scholarship I know nothing about, never heard of it but hey! Tom is very persistent so I applied and here I am, as an outcast like they say.
Boohoo! Scree them, I am happy with the way things are, I gave peace not pretense no walking on eggs shells because I don't want to break the princesses hearts or being disobedient.
I do not do cliques that is not my style. I acted deaf and watched Barbie's little face turn red, her smoke was emitting from her ears and nose, this little rich girl gets so offended easily she will not serve long, they are not provoking her not insulting her but me, why is she offended.
I have to say the girl is beautiful, she has brownish eyes just like Tom's eyes, she resembles him a bit, it did not know that Tom is an orphan would think that she is his twin sister.
Barbie's tempers exploded, like those series or movies you watch and the most unnoticed character does the unthinkable yeah that is how I describe Barbie:s behavior she did not only rain insults and embarrassing words to Stella she also poured my Coke to her which earned her a glare from me, nobody messes with my food, the way I glared at her, the red face she had turned to an ashen one.
I sighed I have to talk with this girl to prevent things like this in the future, I cleared my throat " listen to Barbie if you and I are going to be friends, you have to listen to this, we do not fight with a walking corpse okay, no matter what do not drag you down with them, when you hear death casualt calling your name, do not respond at all we don't have any business with the dead"
People looked at me, Barbie was jumping up and down, she forgot about what I was saying but remembered me calling her Barbie
Grace's POVI watched Stella's face turn green with anger, I Laughed like a maniac, she got served, she left with tears in her eyes, such a cry baby." Barbie what is your name?" I abruptly stopped laughing, did she just initiate a conversation with me?" Grace my name is Grace and you are Mercy do you see what I see" I gave her my best smile.She hit her head with her palm " what have I gotten myself into" I heard her muttering I beamed " you have gotten yourself in a friendship with the best"She rolled her eyes I chuckled, i heard her voice "Barbie I will call you Barbie, it suits you well""For you anything my lady" i hate being called Barbie I sure do look like her but I am not her I am me , some how hearing her lazy voice call me Barbie makes me happy. I smirked, finally she accepted me as her friend, even though I can tell she is still reluctant, " by the way why did you call her corpse?"" because she lo
Tom' PovThe last few weeks I have been busy to an extent where I could not leave the office early, but I made it a point that I went home every night and leave for work early, that way I will not go crazy not knowing how Mercy was holding up, I knew it was not enough but that is the least I could do.The office was in chaos now things have gone back to normal, it is time I focus on my relation, this little woman has been eating her life away, she did not even bother to cook herself a decent meal, this is how troublesome can be.I watched her in my arms, she fell asleep in the middle of our second movie, I was do into the movie my entire concentrating eas on the movie I did not see her fall asleep but her soft snores notified me, she is so beautiful even in her sleep, her lips are slightly opened.She is the one for me, she was specially designed for me, I do not doubt that, I kissed her parted lips a part of me wanted to deepen the kiss but I coul
4 years laterTom's povI have been pacing around my office, he is back in town, I stand no chance, she loves him, will I be able to let her go? I love her she means the world to me.A knock interrupted my thoughts " if you love your life you will leave my door at this moment" I roared at whoever was at the door."Sir your sister is downstairs waiting for you" my assistant replied, I have to say he is a good assistant, he understands me better and can stand my rude behavior.I pulled my chair aside and stood up, she better be here for a good reason if not she is good as dead to me, I muttered under my breath.I opened the door and followed my assistant who was walking as if the world is on fire. " finally he decided to grace us with his presence " my mother sarcastically mumbled."Mother I think the situation has worsened I'm not in the mood for jokes I'm so close to losing her" for the first time
I was busy watching some fashion show with a glass of red wine to unwind, I had a long day at work today.My phone rang it was Mercy's unique ringtone, I have personally set the ringtone in my phone, and in hers too, it is our best friend song kind of thing.I glanced at the wall clock the time was 23:47 " strange " I muttered to myself, Mercy has never called me this late, something must have happened, I quickly swipe the green button to receive her call."You calling me this....." I did not finish my sentence because all I heard were sobs from the other end of the phone, "Mercy are you okay?" That's what came out of my mouth first yet my feet had already taken me to the door, I grabbed my car keys still listening to Mercy's sobs.She whispered some incoherent words which sent me to my momma bear mood, I did not switch off the TV or changed my clothes I ran to my car as if my butt was on fire, I stepped on the gas it usually takes me plus or minus 45 minutes
I told Grace to go home, she was reluctant to leave me alone, she wanted to wait for Tom to come back before leaving, I assured her that I will be alright, I needed some time to prepare for our night, she was convinced and left.I ate the leftovers of pizza while watching tv around 10 p.m Tom still was not back I smiled bitterly, he has finally seen the light, he finally got tired of staying in the darkness with me, I should be happy that he is living his life for himself, for once and not living like his heart and feelings slave.I wore the dress I bought with Grace and red stilettos with a red handbag, I did my make up, usually, I do not put on makeup but I just had to this time around, I checked myself in the mirror I smiled at the girl I see in the mirror.I was partially made at Tom that is the reason I over spent his money, I was made that he could not face me, he cowardly left me here instead of ending things.I phoned a cab, I do not have
Tom's POVShe said something that terrified me in the car I had to know what she meant "What did you mean when you said the first cut is the deepest?" I asked her in a whisper, eagerly waiting for her reply." I can't love you the way you deserve to be loved, I am broken, you have tried your best to make us work, we should not fight it, I think we should end our misery let me go Tom you deserve to be happy".Her words broke something inside me, I felt like she sentenced me to a death penalty, how do I tell her that she revives my soul, that she is the one for me, I do not want to lose her, even when she thinks that she is trouble." Mercy look at me" I begged her to look at me, I know that men should be strong and not cry but what do I do when the only person who brings life and light to my life thinks that she is not good enough.She tried to look into my eyes but averted her gaze I bet she saw my tears, "look at me please" I repeated
Tom's povI can not explain the happiness I felt when Mercy gave herself to me completely, I can't compare the happiness that came with the waves of pleasure her body's reaction had towards me.She's mine I am hers, I will never let her go the moment we made love we became one, spiritually and emotionally, I thought she would break last night, I lost control could not control my strong desire to consume her, if possible I would have merged my body with hers, I have been suppressing my thirst for years and when I finally got a taste of her I failed to control myself I tormented her, she took me by surprise, she did not surrender instead she begged for more.I smiled in content looking at the love of my life sleeping peacefully next to me, I know I should be tired after working the whole night but I am no energized I can even carry get in my shoulders and run around the yard 100 times.I looked at her pouting swollen lips, her brown neck
Mercy's povMy relationship with Tom's Booming, we have our mini fights here and there like other normal healthy young couple, he is possessive in a good way, I kinda find it romantic, he is also clingy, he spends most of his time with me, I'm not complaining although sometimes it frustrates me, he and Grace are always on each other's throat, they behave like siblings, and man Tom changed, the calm, reserved and shy Tom vanished just like morning dew when the sun reveals itself from wherever it hides at night, the morning dew evaporates same as Tom's reserved personality, sometimes I wondered if I knew him like I thought I did.I like the change though, he is more romantic, naughty, he does not hold back, he gives me the complete him, I got a job as an intern it's not much but he boasts about me all the time, praising me for silly things, like the food I cook, my achievements at work, he is 100% supportive.********************I'm holding a cup of tea ta
