Mia
Kate and Steve were more than nice to me, they treated me like they'd known me for a long time. Steve treated me like I was Kate's younger sister. Always asking me if I was comfortable, if I needed anything. But I always told him I was fine. Them keeping me at their home was more than enough. Even little Johnson like me. He had barged into my room this morning to wake me up. He climbed on the bed to join me, then told me he wanted to stay with me a little before heading to school. I had smiled at this.
And Kate who had been looking everywhere for Johnson, came into my room to check. Then let out a sigh of relief when she saw him cuddling me in bed.
She smiled and pulled him by the arm, so she could go prepare him for school. But he was being persistent.
Mia"On two occasions. At school. The first one was my best friend. I thought I loved him, because he was so close to me. He had a girlfriend at that time, so I was jealous. Finally, one day, when we were studying in our lecture hall, I summoned up the courage and told him I loved him. He said he loved me too. And that was how we started having sex. The day he told me to go, he was like, I forced myself on him. And he loved me, just as a friend. But he loved his girlfriend very much.""Bull crap. When he was getting under your skirt, why didn't he tell you that? He's a moron." I wrinkled my nose in disappointment.And Kate chuckled, before releasing a big puff of breath. It seemed she still hurt a little when she thought about the past. "The second one, was in his final year. We met at a friend's party, and because acquainted with each
MiaI was nervous at first, it had been a long long time since I had my hair done, over two years. I didn't know how it felt like anymore.Two hours later, I stared back at the mirror infront of me to see if it was me or someone else. They had wiped all the pimples and dark spots on my face, making the skin on my face lighter. And the artificial hair I had on my head was quite bigger than my body, it was long, curly and full. And looked expensive. I stared at the price tag on the empty pack and gasped. It was thrice my monthly income.I quickly turned to Kate,she flashed me a sheepish grin when she saw the look on my face. "It's a good quality that's why it costs that much. You look beautiful by the way." She was sipping an orange juice and eating french fries. She winked at me and I smiled my gratitude towards her. I stared back
MiaNo wonder he was like that.He had been through so much.It wasn't easy to loose a loved one. A fiancee for that matter. When their wedding was just three weeks away.Finally I had known the reason behind his coldness.He still hadn't forgive himself for something he didn't do.Guilt ate me up from all the things I had said and done to him. Despite all the things he'd been through he still went out of his way to save me, to ensure I was safe. While on the inside, he was still hurting. Grieving his late fiancee.I was so wrong about him. Alex had a heart. He was a goodman. A goodman. And right now, I wanted nothing but to hug him. To wrap him in a
Alex"Isn't she gorgeous?" Kate asked me.I wanted to speak up but felt the words choked up in my throat.Standing before me, was Mia dressed in a cream coloured gown which was moulded to her body, revealing her slim but shapely curves. Black flats showing her perfect straight legs and a hair which was bigger than her body. She had no make up on her beautiful oblong face and her lips were so full and pink. I was short of words because she was breathtakingly beautiful and stunning like a goddess. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen on my 31years on earth. For the first time in my life, I felt like an idiot because I couldn't stop my eyes from roaming over her body.Kate cleared her throat and it broke us from staring at each other because Mia was staring at me too.
Charles"Alex Friedrich Esquire, caused a whole lot of damages during teenage hood. He was the social role of trouble; Vandalizing malls to the fullest extent, in the dead of the night. Painting cops car, getting into fights. He hated his father." It was Max, with eyes and fingers in front of the system, on the wooden desk that was filled with gazillions of paperworks. There was a cold coffee at the side of the system, that he drank on several occasions, with a sour facial expression.It was a Tuesday afternoon, at the station. Max and me were having a discussion, when I brought up Alex. He insisted on knowing why, and right at that moment, the idea of searching Max on our Criminal records, popped into my head.So I barked an order to Max to check for Alex because it was important. And he had hurriedly abandoned the paperworks, h
CharlesThree hours later."Is she your kid?" Asked a lady, whose eyes had been on me, since I and Ruby made our way into the grocery store.I nodded, while Ruby who was grabbing some candies, threw them into the cart, and stopped just to place her hands on her hips, as she stared at the woman in a carefully tentative manner."You look like her elder brother, and not her Dad." It looked like the lady wasn't going to drop it.Shoving my hands into my pants pocket, I shot her a tiny smile. "Yeah, I get that alot.""Uh, Paapa?" Ruby called out to me. Just before the lady could come up with a response to what I had said."Yes, baby?" I glanced at the lady br
CharlesThankfully there was a back door which I used in getting into the grocery store. I noiselessly tiptoed my way in, and stood at the side of where two book shelves were facing eachother. I knew it was a darn risky thing for me to do, because I was unarmed. But Lolita and her baby needed protecting. They were innocent.I took a hard dry gulp, calculating the next move I would make. Because these men were with guns. One bullet to my brain, and I was gone for good. I would loose every freaking I ever had, including my daughter and mother.I closed my eyes in dismay. This was a way too dangerous something to do, because it was just an unarmed me with more than twelve armed men. And if I didn't act smart, they were going to win.What the fuck was I even thinking? I muttered some curses at
CharlesShe was half way towards the roof top, when the men started firing gunshots at us.The baby I had on my back began crying, and Lolita out of fear, nearly let go off the rope.But I caught her before she could, and help pulled her up.She stared up at me, with so much admiration in her eyes. Like I was her saviour. My breath got caught up in my throat at this. She never looked at me this way, even when we were together.There was this new found feeling of respect that radiated out from her.I couldn't believe all of this was happening. That I saw Lolita today, and now I was trying to save her and her baby.Was this fate, throwing us together again?It better not be.
