University don't leaveBarry's POVSince after the party Violet threw for us, my parents have been bugging me to bring her over for dinner. It's been almost two weeks and I've been giving them different excuses. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't want to take Violet to dinner with them, it's just, I don't think she's ready for all that. Meeting my whole family. I know it's going to be overwhelming for her. I haven't even told her yet, but it's looking like I'd have to tell her today or tomorrow. My mum called again this morning. She's beginning to feel like I'm avoiding her. It's not like Violet hasn't met my parents before, she has, on several occasions. But all those times, her parents have been there too. This time, it'll be just us. I know Violet well enough to know that her nervousness would be over the roof. I look at the work left I have on my table. I need to round up and head home soon. If I'm not home on time, Violet would get worried. I push the distracting thought
I stand at the foot of Victor's grave and just stare wordlessly. I don't even know what to say. "If you were here, I know you would be so happy for me." I say, sitting down on the grass."I miss you so so much." I feel something on my chest, I check and then realize that it's my tears. I'm crying. Who wouldn't break down?"Thank you for bringing Barry into my life. A lot of times, he behaves like a replica of you. He loves me, cares for me, protects me just like you would. At it's you I have to thank for that." I sniff and wipe my tears with the back of my hand.Today is the date I lost my brother. I woke up feeling gloomy, and I just knew it was time. It's been so long I visited this place. I get home and see Barry on the floor, crying too. I quickly move to his side and see he has a picture of Victor clutched in his hand. His shoulder quakes as he cries like a baby. I go to his side to hold him, crying again too. I try to make out the words of what he's saying, but the sound incoh
A dream of mineVioletI step into Rich living Education, and I am wowed. The building is so big and gigantic, the company is the talk of the town, and I am here to send in my resignation letter.Funny right?I have been working as an instructor in this huge organization, and it's been quite a chase. As a philosophy teacher it's really difficult to think about others aside from your job and students, what you want to talk about next, the trending news. I've been working in Rich Living Education for two years now, and I'm so proud. As the saying goes, you might not know what you have until you lose it. Well, it is happening now. I'm just coming 5o realize how beautiful this place is.Making the choice was a difficult one, family crises here and there, leaving Barry to go to California and here I am, happy. Fulfilled. If for anything then it's me making the best choice, I need to be something, I shouldn't just depend on my husband. I can still remember his face when I told him I was lea
She made a fuss about how I should have told her earlier that it was an easy thing and I shouldn't keep such things away from her next time. Of course, I was baffled, she's not someone who can help in such situation, but she gave me so many reasons to trust her. So I hired my friend to work as a secret investigator for me. Every weekend she will sit around the table and laugh over what's going to happen to that slutty CEO and here's what we did.Natasha rigged in her private affairs, and we discovered she's always been that way, sleeping with cute men before signing a deal with them, but we are going to put an end to that. Luckily for us, she always takes a picture while in the act with aim of blackmailing them if they refuse to get to her demands, see who's going to face sorrow, haha. My joy knew no bounds when Natasha showed me those pictures, she said she got them from her boyfriend who was a broker, great news right? Having Natasha around me was the best thing that happen to our
SexivversaryWe rented a private beach house in the center of the sea, it's a warm and Earthly place and I feel that's what we both needed, somewhere cool and serene and as I smile at her beautiful face I am the happiest man in the universe."This place is so beautiful.." she cooes, slipping out of my grasp. I nod my head slightly and she slaps my shoulder, winking at me. And that's her, my Violet, troublesome and lively. "Last to get to the sea is a fish!!" She squeals and we start running. I would have surpace her but I let her win and she starts jumping around, splashing water on me."Fishie.." she says teasingly and I frown my face, walking towards her. "Call me that again and you're a dead meat!" I tell her but she's not scared, she splashes water on my face and starts laughing. I get annoyed and do the same but she's not stopping, we continue splashing water on each other, laughing heavily like little children just then my hand braces her lap and she stops. Time slows down and
We were shriek with laughter as Bob entertained us with rib cracking jokes"Seriously I get fed up with girls like that" Bob said, still making some of us laugh.I opened my locker and took my biology textbook, we were going to have a morning test tomorrow. I needed something to read."Enough of these jokes, we have a test tomorrow" I said to my friends who were standing beside my locker."I'm relying on you Violet. I still don't understand Biology" Ella said to me and some of us laughed."Crazy girl" I said and dragged her pig tailed hair jokingly."Hey!" I heard a deep baritone voice which was annoyingly sweet. I immediately recognized the voice. I turned to him with a disgusting look. Some of my friends were sniggering already. It made me angrier."Are you ready?" he asked me."What if I text you the area of concentration for you to read tonigh
"Tasty hun?"My fork dropped immediately as I turned to look at the masculine creature with a smile on his lips. I wouldn't have felt so embarrassed if the pastai wasn't all over my mouth. It was clear evidence. As I tried to talk I choked and coughed. He handed a bottle of water to me."Drink!" he said. I hurriedly collected it and gulped some."Thanks" I managed to say"You should have said you wanted to eat, why do you have to steal?" He said walking to the fridge taking a tuna from it."I didn't steal it," I stubbornly said."Then what did you do?" He turned to me, fixing his concentration on me."I..I..I only took it" I stammered"Well you could have it all, it's all yours anyway" he said and left the kitchen.Damn! I was caught. I let my guard off! My gaze goes to the leftover pasta. I smiled.Lucky me! I had th
Third Grade Crush"An honeymoon ticket?" I read and asked with shocked screaming. They all smiled in reply. I turned to face Barry and he managed a smile too with the rest."But dad..I can't take this "I said to my dad handling the tickets back."Why violet?" he asked and everyone gave a concerned look.Why? Because I don't like this marriage and I've been pretending to you guys so you wouldn't kill me.Why? Because I am not in love with my husband.Why? Because we are getting a divorce soon? What should I even say?"Bee..ca..use.....my school. I mean I can't leave school to go for a honeymoon. It will affect my studies "I finally voiced out the most meaningful thoughts in my head."Well, for as long I have raised you..during these periods you should be having your tests and a two weeks holiday is coming right after it, am I correct?

Barry's POV"Seriously Violet, you are always so full of antics." I tell her, and she just makes a silly face at me. It's Saturday today, and I just wanted to spend the whole day indoors with Violet, but she forced me to dress up, that we're going somewhere, but she has refused to tell me where. It's funny because I'm the one driving. She just keeps giving directions like a boss. The past few days she's been acting weird. Not in a bad way, I just feel like she's hiding something from me. Every time I look at her, she has this mischievous smile on her face. I wanted to ask her about it, but I decided to just let her do her thing. Violet is crazy, but it's what I love the most about her. I have a feeling that where we're going has to do with all that being coy lately. Maybe it's why I didn't make so much fuss when she started forcing me to dress up. I just really wonder where we're headed because she looks so hot too. When I saw her in her dress, I couldn't resist kissing her. She loo
Chapter 38Seeing Jade made me think about everything all over again, but this time, I'm no longer sad. Barry has forgiven me, and I've forgiven myself. We all make mistakes. What we should do is learn from them and move on. I've learned from my mistake, and I'm moving on. A small smile plays on my lips as I think about moving on. I'm reconciled with Barry. We'll no longer fight, and even if we do, it'll be because we're both imperfect human beings with differences. Not because we hate ourselves or are unsure of our feelings. As for Jade, I hope for his sake that he is able to move on and find love somewhere else. I almost thought he was going to cause me trouble, but all he said is that he'll always be there if I need him. His words touched me. Jade is a really nice boy. Whoever ends up with him will be so lucky.I step into the house and Barry is seated on the couch watching a movie. He looks up at me and flashes me a beautiful smile. My heart flutters in my chest. Will I ever get u
"Are you ready for the day?" Barry asks, and I am starting to miss him already. I sip my tea and reply him."Yea. Mum will be here in about a minute-" I have barely finish talking when the doorbell dings. "She's here!" I squeak, he wiggles his brows and I shuffle out of the seat and rush to open the door."Oh my sweet Violet, you're looking so bright this morning, trust you had a great night?" She says in one breath, and I am forced to look at Barry who pulls out an innocent shrug when he catches my glare."You know right mum," I blush, "please come in, we are just having breakfast." I tell her, and we walk to the table together.While on the table, Barry keeps staring at me, even when I catch him staring he won't look away, I am getting so nervous already and Mom is starting to notice it."Are you okay? You look shy." She says softly, and I look at Barry immediately, she follows my gaze and sees its Barry, only then does Barry look away. "Baby, are you sure you want to go home?" My m
ReconciliationViolet's POVI wake up to find myself in Barry's arms, I couldn't believe it at first, but last night's escapades replayed in my head making me giggle softly.It is quite a wonder that I played in my own game, quarrelled and later romanced. I never believed Barry to be so sweet and romantic. Sweet chillings! I've always known Barry to be caring and cute but not this romantic.Last night was wild, we couldn't get enough of each other, we were busy ravishing each other, he even ate my. ohhh butterflies…Can I ever get enough of you, Barry?That I'm not sure of, though I took the first kiss but did I know how sweet his lips were? Not until he took the second step that I know what love really portrays. ``kiss me again, Violet`` I can still hear his hush words, his soft breathing, his lovely eyes filled with all the emotions in the world - his soft hands that grazed my tender skin softly, trying not to break me, his tousled legs wrapped around mine sending chills into my sys
