CYRUS KAYE P.O.V
“How are you preparing for your exams?” My mom asked me at breakfast, the following day being a weekend. Thanking God for small mercies, she suddenly developed stomach cramps from not eating properly and the doctor advised her to stay home.
“Exams has not started Mum, it’s just the beginning of the term”
“Really?" I thought it was at least close to the midterms”
MARIE RICHWOOD POV“You look gorgeous, Marie. Are we sure you are going to school and not a party?”I observed myself in the mirror, my blond hair was perfectly styled, and I weaved the edges, giving it a semi African look. I allowed my hand brush over my extremely short skirt. There was nothing I could do about the customary white shirt other than make sure I loosened at least two buttons while Cyrus was looking. My makeup was top notch also, though I tried to make it look as natural as humanly possible then I finished it with a bright red lipstick. The uniform had been longer when it was given to me but I had reshaped it to my taste. No quirky uniform was going to spoil my reputation. No way I would allow myself to wear the nunne
CYRUS P.O.VGlancing around me, I let my gaze slid across the wicked beauty sitting beside me. She was looking exquisite; her hair was the perfect shade. Her creamy thighs were lusciously spread for my gaze. I swallowed deeply, am sure if I slid my hand in she would be more than ready to accommodate me. She smiled seductively at me, resting her head on her desk; she faced me staring at me with cute eyes. The only thing I could think of was holding Marie inn my arms. The feel of her body against mine would make me feel complete fo
MARIE RICHWOOD P.O.VThe bell rang. Another class was over. Yet, Cyrus was not back in class. Cyrus was not one to miss classes. He was definitely angry by what Richard had said to him. The bastard had tried to walk me to Principal Francis office but I shrugged him off. I went to the Principal’s office alone only to be told by his secretary that I was never summoned. I plastered a plastic smile on my face for the secretary, went back to class and briskly finding my seat. I only needed Cyrus to come back to the Class to explain why he felt it necessary to inform Nicole of our relationship status. I could break that girl’s neck.“Marie?”
MARIE RICHWOOD P.O.V“This is thrilling,” I muttered to myselfI stood watching the both of them; he was so gentle with her I could not help but marvel. I have never seen my brother this gentle. He was the perfect man. “George?” I called, “Why don’t you get Nicole to the sickbay?” I offered, George shook his head at me“She needs to calm down first, she is completely irate and I know you have a hand in this” he accused li
CYRUS P.O.VIt felt good to finally empty my heart out to someone instead of keeping it all in. I clasped Marie closer to my chest; No way was I ever letting go. If she was willing to stay with me after knowing my sorrows and sadness, then I would keep her forever. Encouraged, I continued my stomach dropping harder; she squeezed my hand in reassurance “My Dad in order to keep up his image and to retain his clean status remained married to Mom…” Shocked at my words, she gasped, raising her blond head to look at me, “He told her that?" That’s cruel”
MARIE RICHWOOD P.O.VBy the time, Richard and his group were found; they were coughing and pounding on the Janitor’s door so vigorously that they alerted the whole school to their dilemma. It was either they coughed to death or risked being exposed for smoking in school. They were sent to the sickbay to recuperate. I knew my plan was dangerous and they could get hurt so I stayed around with the intention of opening the door after a while. However, their hammering on the door got the school securities and teachers on them before my promised time. Thank goodness for small mercies, I snuck away quietly with my bag. However, Principal Francis found
MARIE RICHWOOD P.O.V“What?” George asked sounding winded, his just out of bed hair waving in the air. “I said you will have to date Nicole and get her off Cyrus’s tale. I need you to make Nicole fall in love with you.” I said not battling an eyelid, I knew my plan was a delicate one, He might decide to back out if I do not pressurize him. Stuttering, George stared at me in shock “That’s impossible. I mean she does not like me. How can I do that to her, that is plain cruelty. I cannot play with a girl’s feeling like that and besides you know I love Stacy a
CYRUS KAYE P.O.V“What did you say that got George so upset?” I asked Marie as I settled myself on her bed, I could smell her scent all over the bed. I sat upright though, not wanting to be suggestive. I had wanted to see her before heading to my destination. I would be bloodied up later so I came to see her first. Marie blew a blond curl out of her eyes” Nothing just this and that” she replied obviously trying to ignore my question. I knew she was up to her schemes but I did not pressure her. The tempting thing with Marie as headstrong as she was her beauty was alluring. It was intriguing just staying by her side.She set me on fire
CYRUS KAYE P.O.VWe stayed in that position for a long time, Mom held me tightly also not letting go. Gradually she released me, Tears slipping from her eyes, she smiled at me; her happy expression was enough to cure me of all the age long hatred. Giving way for her love“I am sorry, I spoke to you that way. I always thought you did not want me.”
CYRUS KAYE P.O.VI locked myself in my room immediately I came back from school. Mom had tried to talk to me but I did not listen to her. Nan had also tried to get me to talk to her but I ignored them both. Somehow, those two were in cohort. I never knew they were friends; though Mom was rarely home anyway. I noticed the continued absence of my father at home. I refrained from asking. He is a grownup man; he would find his way home. He was probably stewing somewhere having loosed to Mom for the first time in his life.I occupied myself with my compu
MARIE RICHWOOD P.O.VI waited until I heard the last bell. Cyrus had kept to himself throughout the day and I was sick and tired of the sullen attitude. I watched him from the corner of my eye as he arranged his books absentmindedly into his school bag. I sighed; I waited for him to finish with his packing. He threw the bag over his shoulder, ignoring Nicole’s goodbye wish. He stood up from his seat; giving me a small wave, he left the class looking unfocused.
MARIE RICHWOOD P.O.V“How soon can we get your Mom to hand over the evidence we need? “ I asked Nicole when George released her“As soon as possible, I would have called her but Dad seized my phone. Therefore, if I can get a phone or I can go her house, I am allowed to go to her house once a month “She said embarrassed, “Alright, make use of my phone, delay is dangerous
CYRUS KAYE P.O.VHow Mom got Dad to retract his words were none of my concern. I had no idea what scheme my mother was cooking. How did she know I was the sole owner of the house we lived in? Something is fishy. She had always made it plain she does not have any interest in me. She even told me I was a mistake that put a hitch on her career, so why the sudden change in attitude.I just could not wrap my head around why she came to get me in the morning at Marie’s house; she offered no further explanation as we walked into the house. Dad had go
MARIE RICHWOOD P.O.VNicole was pressed fully into George who held her soft body trying to pacify her; I had taken a few steps from her. Though I had been joyous when my deal with George started, but I was not so happy to see the outcome of it.George steadied her with his body, finally getting a grip of herself, Nicole pushed him away from her in rage, I was surprised at the force that came from such a small body,”I am not a game for the both of you to play with as you want. How dare you play with me like that?” backing away from him, she covered her tearful face with the back of her hand ”I am such a fool,” She muttered and began walking out of the sport complex.
MARIE RICHWOOD P.O.VElated at Dad’s approval to let me stay back in South Africa. I was beyond joyous at his affirmation that morning when Mom gave me the news. Mom was grinning too seeing how happy I was. I had no doubt she must have a hand in Dad changing his mind. I thanked her appropriately before entering the car. George was already sitted with Dad who ignored me as I took my seat at the backseat.Cyrus had left the house early in the morning after receiving a call from his mother, a call he had been reluctant to take. Whatever miracle happened. Mrs. Kaye had been able to argue her way out with her husband. Her son was not going to leave his birth home; she had also disclosed that the huge house belonged to Cyrus as his grandfather
MARIE RICHWOOD P.O.VI could not believe what I was being told. Cyrus was an extremely intelligent person. He must have guessed the connection. I was speechless. I never mentioned anything to him but he was able to decode game plan with George and Marie.I looked at him content with my choice, he was so relaxed sitting on my bed, bare chested, the chest I had just been touching minutes ago. He was looking so cool and handsome, I could not believe my luck, not only was he smart, he was gorgeous.“So what you are trying to say now is that Nicole is not in love with you?” George asked for the thi
CYRUS KAYE P.O.VStanding in front of her door, I waited anxiously for Marie to pick up the call. My voice was blocked with so much tears, I just wanted a shoulder to lean on.Turning back, I sauntered into the night. But the sound of my name being called made me halt my steps, I turned to look at Marie, she was leaning against the door frame, she slipped out quietly, her hair was flowing all around her, giving her some sort of angelic look. She had a short blue nightgown on, which stopped mid thighs; I forced my eye to leave her smooth legs that were on full display, fully accentuated by the street light.
