I kind of mended things with my dad but I still had to give him a little cold shoulder so that he realizes that I can't be easily swayed into leaving Charles for the baggy sweaters and candies he bought. Although it would have been a possibility if he added icecream to his purchase. The things I would do for that worthy brain freeze. Charles had not returned home so I was worried and pondering on whether his delayed return was because of my father or his work, and there was also the possibility that he no longer finds our relationship worth fighting for. I was still wallowing away time, thinking of the hurdles I needed to overcome. I hadn't even spared thoughts to the troubles awaiting me at school. That was another issue I had to worry about so I allocated nightime to worry about that. My schedule was filled up with moments to worry about how fucked up my life w

I woke up feeling so tired from last night strenuous reading, it was the last semester of my third year in the five years tourism course. Painfully it was exam period the worst season most student dread and I had my last papers today. After the exam we would be given a month holiday before the next session begins. The thought of how well I would sleep during the holiday was the last strand of hope i desperately held unto as I studied each day. "Crimson please wake up and turn off tour alarm, its been crying endlessly for attention." I heard my dad shout from a distance and the frustration that lingered in his voice was too obvious to ignore. I unconsciously knocked off my alarm for my mini drawer to shut it up and the trick worked perfectly well. "Miss Bold!! you had better wake up and get ready before pour some iced water on you" I heard my dad threaten as he threw a pillow on me from behind my door. I was not a big fan of hearing him call me 'miss Bold' but I have grown to bear

CHARLES POV I returned to New Jersey after being away for five years, I didn't stay totally hidden from the world all those years but I made sure to stay away from Jersey city and Crimson for reasons best known to me. All I wanted was to be home with the people I love the most and after I lost my parents to an assassination fifteen years ago at the age of ten, Crimson and Mr Bold became my family. I was happy when Mr Bold welcomed me with open arms without asking questions about my disappearance. He probably knew that managing the veins empire my parents left me with was strenuous and more complex than what ordinary eyes see. I was so happy when Crimson finally arrived I watched as her big blue eyes scanned the living room space, her red hair was a lot longer than before and left in careless curves running down to her waist. She inhaled the air around and almost immediately a bright smile appeared on her face. I turned back to face the window and catch my breath cause knew Crims

CHARLES POV I had to take Crimson to the supermarket and to be honest it was no coincidence that I happened to heading in the same direction, I actually had no where to be at that moment. The drive there was pretty silent, I would try to start up a conversation but she would end it as quick as swallowing a bitter medication. "Did you remember to take your customer card?" I had to ask since she had no purse or signs of cards with her, "yeah I did" once again she just had to kill the conversation I was hoping would grow. I know she was mad at me and I promised to give her space but I just couldn't handle the silent treatment she had been giving me all week. "So how is school going?" before I left she was still in highschool living on a 'low key format' as she loves to call it, "oh so now you care? i'm so excited to start updating you" she replied with a painful sarcastic smile that made her cheeks rise hard with pressure. "Crim can we please stop this now, i'm sorry and I missed

CHARLES POV I tightened my grip on whatever I was holding as the sun rays tormented me through the opened binds of my window. I finally gave in to its crave for attention and forced my eyes to open, it was then i realized it was already morning and the 'whatever' I was squeezing tightly happened to be Crimsons waist. After our long conversation last night, she fell asleep and looked way to comfortable to be disturbed at that time so I let her sleep. Over the years I had of course monitored my Crim but I did so from afar, I could never let distance block me out from her life. Although I knew the answers to almost everything I was busy asking her, I still felt the need to hear from her and be certain there weren't things I as yet to know. I knew she had no boyfriend and had never confessed to having any romantic feeling for a specific somebody. Nevertheless I still had to ensure Brenna who was literally always with her was nothing but a friend. That is how possessive I could b

Well it's been the hardest sixty minutes of my life, I've spent thirty minutes now banging the door pleading for Crimson to open up and I spent the other thirty minutes doing things that made her lock the door.EARLIER*** I was supposed to work late and finish up all the business for the week but I couldn't focus because Crimson kept ignoring my calls. I was probably worried for nothing, maybe she was just far from her phone or engrossed with the TV. Nonetheless I was still really worried so I decided to round up work early and check up on her. I got home and just dashed towards her room in a hurry, I heard some weird sounds but just couldn't comprehend what they were. "Oh my god!! Charles knock, that's why there

CRIMSON POV You know how they always say to 'be careful about what you do for every action will be accompanied by a repercussion' , well that statement is exactly what my life had been all about for a week now. After what happened between Charles and I, its been really awkward around the house. We haven't talked since then, not like I had given us a chance to converse, actually I had taken it upon myself to avoid speaking or making eye contacts with him, in fact avoiding him totally was like a mission I was sure to get praised for how excellently I carried it out. How was I supposed to handle the fact that Charles loved me more than our relationship permits. He had mentioned it before that he was in love with someone but she wasn't aware of it, never would I have thought I would end up being that someone. Dad was supposed to be back already but just as I expected he said his journey would be delayed for three more days so I would have just four days to spend with him since my

LIKE A BROTHER MANTRA
CHARLES POV My hands were covered in blisters as I continued to punch him, the poor thing took a million blows before he got a chance to give one. After I was done I packed the bruised bodies of his minions and placed them in the trunk of my car while I put Louen at the back seat and made sure to strap him properly. He was once my friend after all. Nonetheless being my friend at some point in time didn't give him the right to play stunts that would hurt Crimson. So yeah I had to beat him up and then give him a brotherly hug. After my private investigator sent Louen's name with sufficient proofs that he took the pictures on that night at the school trip, I wasn't surprised not even a little. As much of a bad boy or gangster he would love to consider himself, there were still lots of moments he displayed his true dump, naive child personality. If he truly held me responsible for his dad's death he wouldn't take such pitiful methods to hurt me, he would kill me outrightly. He
LIKE A BROTHER WEDDING ALBUM
CHARLES POV I had invited Mr Bold over to have a conversation over a cup of coffee. He first rejected the offer but later texted that he would rather talk over a beer instead. We both knew he came for less conversations and more blows, who wouldn't grab on the opportunity to beat up a guy at a dark crowded bar. After he arrived, I spent the next five minutes apologizing while he went on and on about how inconsiderate and unreasonable I apparently was. I took a minute to explain to him that my sorry was for endangering Crimson not for being in love with her and as you may have guessed, I ended up spending the next five minutes recieving blows. After anger had been vented and bruises had been administered, we finally got a chance to talk. He of course asked how long we had been together and I most definitely wasn't going to tell him we started hooking up while he was in Africa. So I just told the truth, I said we were officially together few minutes before he pounced in. I
LIKE A BROTHER THE VEIN EMPIRE
CRIMSON POVThe week was a rollercoaster of trouble, I had never had to go through so much disturbance in just a week. I was hoping the Lucas issue self settled itself since I skipped the revision week and even failed to tutor him and thankfully it was already half gone. I had exams to write but heaven knows I didn't get a chance to read nothing, so the plan was to say a prayer and await the miracle. All week I was worried, confused and utterly shocked. I know that's a whole lot of different emotions but trust me they all came crashing in, one by one. I was worried about Charles. After the clash he had with my dad he didn't come back. I would love to call it a stand off or a fight but honestly it was more of a beat up. I called him and he said he was staying at the hotel for awhile but awhile sounded like forever cause my dad was going nowhere. When my dad said Charles was fucking me and that I was naive, it made our relationship look like an assault case. He was being i
LIKE A BROTHER Accepted
CRIMSON POVI was taken like an hostage but returned like a princess. The chauffer pulled up right at the front of my house an honestly I couldn't fathom the confidence Louen had. I called Charles immediately I got into the house, I was itching to call him on the way but I couldn't risk having the driver hear our conversation. It was clear that kidnapping me was just a medium to get to Charles. However I couldn't understand what must have gone wrong between Charles and Louen to have him do such a thing. I was hoping it was just a prank, call me stupid but that hope what was kept me from going crazy and rushing to the cops. Thank God I didn't. Charles came back after receiving my call and all he said when I told him I was back home was 'okay'. A really weak okay. He got back after twenty-seven minutes, thirty-two seconds. Yes I was counting, like a hawk I kept watching the door until the door knobs finally twisted. He looked furious and sweaty like he went for a run. His eye

CRIMSON'S POV "Charles help me, someone is following me. I am near the bus........" I couldn't finish my statement as my phone was grabbed out of my hand weakened with the effect of chloroform placed over my face. I did say the day was terrible with all the Lucas drama, but little did I know that scary was awaiting my presence at the later hours. I had just left school feeling a little relaxed that Charles was not around to witness the unfortunate drama going on at school. I was going to grab a cab home but I decided to rather take a little stroll till I get to the bus stop at a further distance. I needed to clear my head and nothing works better than a peaceful stroll with a sadist playlist activated and starring at random things. I felt like someone was following me, there's this tingling feeling you get when eyes are on you. I couldn't dare brush the feelings off, not after the tormented walk I had through the hallways at school. I took unnecessary corners hoping that

CRIMSON POVIt was a tough week to survive through. It was a week to my exam the same week happened to be the week I foolishly agreed to tutor Lucas whom Charles have now warned me to stay away from. It also happened to be the week I became visible as a public figure with no beautiful brand name.Just as I was still thinking of the fucked up week on my plate, Brenna popped up to rub salt on my wounds again. “Babes you’ve got some girls wishing they were you and others hoping to get a chance to ambush you in the bathroom” she sat beside me pinching and teasing me all excited about all that bothers me. Actually I had walked into school just like every other day, passing Charles office while reminiscing memories I shouldn’t, acting all invisible with my comfy cloths on and sticking to my sober playlist to keep the mood going. Just like every other day, I thought it would be the same but as I walked through the hallway I felt eyes on me, loud whispers I fearfully blocked out with my
LIKE A BROTHER SHOWER (mature)
So it was finally the weekend and I was supposed to meet up with Brenna for some study time but she choose Kendrick over me once again. I was seriously getting jealous.So much for supporting a healthy relationship.Since there wasn’t much to do apart from studying of course. I laid in my bed, threw the red blanket over myself and started reliving the scene yet again.Yes you guessed right. I’m talking about the shower scene.So it was a Wednesday and we had been defending our projects all week long. Charles was in school to listen to our defense.He had taught us literarily nothing. The hotel practical lesson we had was nothing more than a vacation away from school.I guess that was the fun of tourism after all.Although he had given us no lessons he still did well to make sure the supervisor took the lesson while we went sight seeing. So thankfully we had something to write on the project.It wasn’t much but no one was complaining. Not even miss Sandra. There was something about
