LOGINLucille’s povI wanted to right my wrongs, start all over again. I knew I messed up the other time. This time I had to go extra, try to make things perfect. Just between us, no wild fantasies, no dark corridors, just a space for the two of us.I didn’t just want it to be a regular date. I wanted it to be a perfect one, to take us back to our memories. The time we had something that we couldn’t share, that was back in high school, our teen years, let’s relive that moment now that we are together.The best part of our teen years was the moment at the rooftop during Halloween night. I would never forget that night, I was whoever I was tagged putting all black like a villain, didn’t care much about a costume and she was Ariel. And from that moment she became my Ariel, that was how I saw her, as my Ariel. It didn’t take much to set up the meeting, all I needed was focus, time and money. I tried to make the date simple and meaningful. Going as far as the rooftop, that is where we will reli
Marcella’s povI sat down, Finally feeling fulfilled that she has replied my wailing hearts’ desire. I got off my bed into my wardrobe and got something fancy. It was our first date after a long time and I wanted to make it feel special, I just hope it feels that way too.The way she always called me Ariel made my heart beats faster, I loved it. I got a dress from my wardrobe after a long time of selection, it took me a while because I wanted it to be perfect. She has been talking about a gift for me for some time now, and I wanted to look magnificent to receive whatever gift she had for me.I couldn’t stop questioning what exactly she had for me? What was this gift all about but that’s one thing about love, you really can predict the next move of your lover. I found the perfect dress, it’s was the most magnificent dress in my wardrobe, I think I got that dress some time ago. I don’t know why I did, but I remember clearly, it was on the day I went out with Rose. We went shopping just
Lucille’s pov I knew exactly what to do. I drafted a letter on my phone for my Ariel. It had been a while since I reached out, I’d been so occupied with everything going on in my life, especially my lack of focus on the field. I had sought my mum’s advice, but it was no more than I expected. She was always going to say the same thing. I didn’t even know why I asked. I was still bothered, disturbed, battling restless nights. I needed other options. Advice wasn’t working for me. Now it was time for comfort. I texted my baby. I had to see her that night. I wanted to play with her. I sent the message saved in my draft immediately. The message was perfect. That same night, I texted Patrick that I would be home late that I wanted to stay out a bit and clear my head. He wasn’t home yet, so it was easier to leave. The address I gave her was a nice one quiet, beautiful, and fancy. Just the kind of place I believed she would like. I dressed in a short green gown, packed my hair into a po
Chapter 134Marcella’s povI tried several times to reach out to her, but I always had second thoughts. I didn’t want to seem too available. Did that even make sense? She promised me a gift. If she truly meant it, she would call. I decided not to rush her, to give her time besides I had my own trouble thinking about my family back home, what was so important that my mum had to see me in person and send a reminder, using every opportunity to remind me? My mind was a whirlwind. Maybe I’ll just let Lucille be for now, she needed time to prepare whatever she had planned for me… or time for herself and I did for myself too.I tried to keep myself occupied, even though my mind was fixed on Lucille. No texts, no calls, it was as though she never existed.Still, I was worried about her. The last time I saw her was on the porch after that ugly night with Patrick. I kept thinking… did he do anything to her? I kept hearing rumors, news spreading everywhere. Lucille Parker can’t run anymore. She
Lucille’s povIn the morning, he woke up earlier than expected, noticing the lack of his presence as I rose up that morning. I touched the side of his bed, it was cold, seems his been up a long time. I went downstairs to see if he was there and just like I suspected he was looking for something, it had to be the card.“Looking for something?” He startled as he heard my voice and turned to me sharply.“It’s nothing…just getting ready”. He gave me that mischievous smile like a goblin, he was all dressed in his green suit, always looking neat and smart. “I guess I’ll be going now…” I watched him walk out the door. Hiding his panic, I knew he was looking for the card but I held onto it.Day after day, nights after nights we both acted like everything was fine but everything was just pretense; a false act. Patrick was still looking for the card secretly while I was searching sources to know what the card was all about secretly too. Yet, both of us had nothing, nothing to hold onto. He cou
Marcella’s povI finally got home feeling refreshed, alive. I’ve gotten all the answers I need and now I know better. I walked into the house and Rose was up, waiting for me. “It’s late…you should be sleeping”. I did it’s even realize how late it was until I told her falling onto the couch like a tired bear.“I was…” she walked towards me and fell right on the chair by my side.We both stared at each other awkwardly.“What’s popping?” She gestured at me and I just laughed. It was cute and funny, she followed me to laugh before she asked me with a more serious tone.“You wanna tell me where you’ve been or … maybe I should stop asking and mind my business”.Ouch, her words touched my heart, I knew I was a bitch earlier, but it wasn’t my intention.I turned to her and laid a big kiss on her face.“Gross…” she pushed me playfully and we laughed together over it.“Thank you for always being by my side even when I’m a bitch”. We both laughed, I saw the anger on her face wash away with a k
Lucille’s pov The race had taken everything out of me. Ravenfort seemed to favor me lately, I’d finally made the cut for the varsity sports team, and I was one of their top ranked athletes. After the final heat of the day, I was tired, and had gone to my dorm but when I got there Patrick was alre
Marcella pov I rushed for the laptop but she scrambled onto a chair, holding the device high above her head. She didn't actually know about my past atrocities so she didn’t have the motive of knowing it’s content. She just wanted leverage to make me comply. "I’ll hand it over," she said, breathin
Marcella’s povIt was my new roommate. “Hey!" she chirped, throwing her arms around me in a sudden, tight hug. I stiffened, my arms hanging uselessly at my sides, startled by the unsolicited touch. “Oh, I’m sorry..." she said, finally pulling back with an apologetic grin. “I’m a big hugger." “
Marcella’s pov “We’re going out for a party tonight” she told me moving from one place to another trying to put her things in order. It’s been barely few weeks I moved into college, I had only spent time with Rose not been able to make friends at class but I did have a nice chat with few of my co
