Upon arriving at the university we got out of the car, Rich took me by the hand, intertwining them. I felt a tingling with that gesture, without even asking for it. He looked safer than before now, looser. And I liked that. I felt that I was somehow helping him. "Will I see you at lunchtime?" "I worry as we walk towards the entrance." -Of course. Hasley appeared in my field of vision, I was half serious, maybe I was still half drunk yesterday. I don't know. The weather threatened to rain. "Hello, Hasley," I greeted her. "V, how are you today?" "He looked at us both." Hi, Rich. "You look unveiled," Rich says in a joke mode. I think it's the first time I see him wanting to start conversations with another person. And it's weird. "Yes, I couldn't sleep well last night for those drinks." Are we going to classes? "Hasley looks at me." -It's fine. Rich, I'll see you after a while, ”I smiled at him. I was going to go like this without more but Rich stopped me and gave me a warm kiss on the l

When I entered home Dad was at the doorway with a glass of juice in his hand. "You're late," he told me. "I was doing things." "With Rich," he said, "Venus, you know I don't like you to go with him for a long time." Rich is not what it seems. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and tried to calm down, I didn't want to argue with Kyle today. I had spent a nice day with Rich so I didn't want to take away the feeling of tranquility in my system right now. "Not now, Kyle, I'm tired." "They called me from college, you didn't attend classes." Fynn also told me that you failed his subject. What is happening to you, Venus? When you just came here I was very understandable with you, I tried to understand you because yes, I made mistakes in the past but I was willing to remedy them. However, now seeing that you are going astray I cannot continue to be tolerant of what you do or say. I looked at him super surprised, it was the first time Kyle talked to me like that. His voice was hard. "Excuse me

Rich was at Fynn's house, doing what? Fynn, our teacher was dead and someone had shot him in the head. Rich watched me attentively, as if I was afraid that I would be scared. -How? "I wanted to know." "Well," he laughed a little nervous, "I wanted to do something good for you, I wanted to talk to Fynn and ask him to give you more time and not reprove you but it was useless, Fynn was a very strict teacher." I felt a little relief when he told me that, my mind was already betraying me with bad things, things that I know Rich wouldn't do. I smiled shyly and approached him to hug him, his smell invaded my nostrils. I liked feeling it so much, feeling his perfume, his hands around me. I realized that I was falling in love more and more about Rich, it was something I couldn't stop, it was something very strong and intense. I was scared, very afraid because my bad thoughts tortured me by telling me that Rich will one day get bored of me and leave me. "Thank you for wanting to help me," I mur

I stopped the car, without leaving, just watching Kyle. He was standing, without expressions on his face, but he didn't see me but Rich, he looked at him with a kind of hate. "Are they your bags?" Asked Rich, a little anxious. I know this because his hands began to rub each other in a desperate way. Also his leg went from top to bottom. "Your father wants you to go." "I suppose so," I answer, because the truth doesn't surprise me. Kyle had never been a good father, maybe I don't remember what happened years ago but I only know that he never fights enough for his family, he gives up the first one, he is so cowardly that I hate him for that and more things. I wish my sister was here, but instead I have to be with this man who is called my father. "It can't be," Rich murmured, still anxious. "You can't leave, v, tell him not to take you away." I looked at Rich, taking his hands to calm down a little. "Easy, you're having a kind of anxiety attack." I will not go anywhere. The corner of hi
