*ONE MONTH LATER*
Wild cheers tore through the field and caps flew in the air as our graduating set hugged each other with wide smiles plastered on their faces.
"Congratulations!" Warren crushed me into a hug threatening to cut off my blood circulation but I wouldn't have it any other way. "Told you we'd make it."
The huge eagle of happiness and pure joy in my heart only allowed me to nod, smiling widely. Before I could say, Jack, Val snatched me away from his side and right into her tight hug. "Omg, we made it, Rowa!"
"Yes." I squealed with her as we both jumped multiple times while holding hands. "Now you can give my baby brother the kiss he's been dying for."
"Shhh." She covered my mouth with her hands, her eyes wide. After peering over my shoulder, she tried to conceal the vivid blush on her cheeks. "Remember I'm taking things slow."
"Slow, shmlow," I scoffed waving my hand as if throwing the idea away. "It's just one k

Wriggling my toes in the wet sand, I smiled up at the sun feeling like a kid at Christmas. My shades flipped over my eyes and I smiled at the redhead beside me. "You know, you don't have to be so grumpy on the beach.""Uh, yes I do," she said. "Someone has to be the adult here."I smirked and wrapped my hands around her, stopping further movement and eliciting a yelp from her. "Oh yeah?""Yeah." She bent her head to the side. An open invitation and how could I resist? I lowered my head and dropped a kiss on the curve where her neck met her shoulder earning a shiver in return."No need to get all touchy, people!" The shout made Val jerk in my grip and our heads collided at the sudden movement. "Let's try to keep what goes on in the bedroom, in the bedroom please!""Yeah, we have children in our midst so keep it light and PG." Devin backed her up and I could hear them snicker behind us.After our initial shyness after the graduation cere

I grabbed a handful of the sodden earth and sniffed it."I don't think ma would've liked to see you do that," Warren objected. I flicked him off and took another huge whiff of the scent.I heard grunting and after a few pants, felt a touch on my shoulder. His straight face came into view and the orange light behind him created a halo around his head. "You ready?""I'm sure this is what ma would've wanted." I breathed in and tried to relax my stiff shoulders when Warren picked up the ceramic vase.After he settled into the same kneeling position beside me and we just sat in silence. My mind strayed and I felt he did the same.I would never get over what she did. Not fully but I had that mutual understanding that she felt she was protecting us anyway she could. Admittedly not the best decision as this is where it had led us to; her on the other side and both of us hurting and shattered.
That Girl In Glasses Prologue.
Eighteen years earlier."I don't want to separate them Tom, " Mary cried with red puffy eyes."We have to." Came the cold reply. He never really loved this woman. The marriage was planned and he absolutely detested planned marriages.His parents just wanted their company to be partners and this was the only condition necessary."Okay," She replied while placing a kiss on the little bundle in her arms and handing it over.She knew better than to argue with him on such a matter although she couldn't stand the undescribable pain in her heart at having to separate her twins."Where are you going to keep her?" She asked as her milky chocolate brown eyes scanned his tired face.She truly was a beautiful woman. Her brown eyes shone up at him pleading for an answer. Her silky soft brown skin seemed to glow under the light.She wa

Present dayMorowa."Just choose something comfortable." I suggested without looking away from the book in my hands."That's the problem!" Val exclaimed throwing her arms up in frustration.I was in Val's room like any other day and today she's preparing for some date and she's totally paranoid over nothing.The guy she was going with would probably be going in a plain Tee shirt and denim pants and here she is fussing over the color of the dress she would wear and what type of dress.In all honesty, I'd pref
That Girl In Glasses 2. Pillows aren't alive are they?
Warren.My head hurt as I try opening my eyes. The soft yet harsh light coming from where I'm thinking is the sun tortures my eyelids.I try adjusting the pillow on my chest so I could take a shower when the pillow grumbles in it's sleep.I could feel my eyes pop out of their sockets. Wait. Pillows aren't alive are they?I notice the blonde hair of a human girl (not a pillow. Thank goodness) I slightly remember draped on my chest as she snuggled into my chest with her once red matte lipstick staining my chest as I adjusted her so I could get up.The girl who I now recognise as the girl from the bar yesterday night. I can't really remember her name but that's the least of my problems at the moment.I leave her on my king sized bed and head for my masters bedroom where I take a shower while trying to remember which bar I
That Girl In Glasses 3. I almost killed a human.
Morowa.That day in Kampala where I had ate my first rolex. Not the watch. The local street food of Uganda.The street full of life at night. All the available clubs were open for business. People moving in all directions kind of like a confused ant colony but I knew they were anything but that.Manny booked an hotel close to the airport so I practically had to drag them out of their comfort zone."Okay okay, we'll come along only because we don't want to search for you when you get carried away." Manny had said this with a smile, happy that she could find some entertainment there too.The music was some
That Girl In Glasses 4. Because I'm not her type.
Devin.Her voice came out in a soft whisper beside me. "This is just breathtaking. I'm impressed."Hair dancing to the tune of the wind like a snake to an animal whisperer.With one of her eyes a hazel colour and the other the natural brown colour, she could easily be classed a freak of nature but that's not the case at all.People just don't understand that she is rare and you don't judge rare because of their conflicting eye colors. You accepted then because they were one in a million.I squeeze her smaller hand tighter, enjoying the warm heat she radiated.The beach was just a few feet below us as we stood at the rocky cliff. How we even got here is a mystery to me though."As am I." I replied without looking at the view which she was openly admiring.S
That Girl In Glasses 5. I kill Cereal not people.
Morowa."Have I ever told you your eyes are to die for?" gushes Sky in a high pitched voice trying to imitate a crazy fan girl."You mean my eyes could kill people with shock?" I raised an eyebrow throwing my head back to laugh. I liked my reputation in school for one thing. No one judged me for anything and the normal gossiping only happens between Kris's circle which I'm sure Sky is part of but that's really not my business if I'm being honest with myself."You know I always wondered who your parents were because of your conflicting eye colors" he sighed as he placed his chin in his arms still in the fan girl act."My parents" I mumbled trying to conjure up any image of them but it's always a failed attempt seeing that I was too young when they passed. "They went to the sky
