One man's loss is another's win. Poseidon lost, and Sebastian won...
PIERRE POV“You can cry and let it all out…” Sebastian’s rich, but insanely smooth voice felt like a silk wash all over my goose-pimpled skin. I was still in a drastic state of shock, the happenstances only pouncing in my mind at a much more rapid pace than it had all happened. I remained glued in the passenger seat of his McLaren’s passenger side, cocooned by the warmth and serenity although the inside of me was in shreds, the effects of the storm after it wreaked havoc.It was as if some kind of a veil had been torn apart, a very gaping slit in the middle that bared everything out. All the pain I have ever known came tumbling out of that slit along with those words I heard straight from his mouth.DISGUSTING FAG. I knew I had preferred to be his dirty little secret but that… That was extreme. “I’m okay.” My voice was nothing like my usual, it was carnal gruff that rumbled from deep inside of me, mirroring the turmoil inside of me. It was a cross between a pained wail and something
PIERRE POV“NO WAY!” a squeal laced with glee escaped my lips, the small straw that was clamped between the muscles of my mouth dropping into the glass of drink in front of me.“Yes, way.” Sebastian merely smiled before giving his head a shake to clear the thick locks of hair from his face, then continued toying with the chips on a plate in front of him.“Like ever? Not even once?” I couldn’t believe it. This tale he was telling me; it had to be straight from the kid’s book. There was no way that Sebastian had never dated, and the idea of him being pure and untouched was utterly absurd.“Why is it so hard for you to believe that I haven’t dated?” He dropped the chips from his fingers before bracing his arms on the table, pinning his permeating gaze on me. I found myself shifting uncomfortably as he just looked, waiting for a response. “I mean look at you…” I took a sip of my soda to calm my nerves before continuing, “What?” He arched a brow, “You are all things handsome. Any boy an
PIERRE POVIt’s amazing how other people’s aura could turn darkness into light. Their energy exudes this kind of warmth that makes you feel enough, welcomed, needed, and very much wanted.I'd never spent much time around Sebastian before; even when I was still serving in their lounge, we had these little disturbed moments where I would just stand with him for a few seconds before Poseidon came and wreaked havoc around us. But after spending a whole day with him, his undivided attention on me and me only, I knew for a fact that he wasn't like any other people I have met before. He wasn't like Z4. He was the odd one, the quiet one, the steady and trusted one. He made me so comfortable that I even forgot about the pain and everything that had transpired. So unlike Poseidon. By the time we decided to leave his other secret hideout, night had long fallen pulling darkness on its tail. It was after 8 when we arrived outside the frathouse and right in the driveway was Poseidon’s black Audi
PIERRE POVYou’d think that with the days that passed-since the video of my love-making with Poseidon was leaked- the buzz would have quieted down. I was so wrong. It hadn't.And now, it was all for an entirely different thing. The fact that Sebastian claimed we were dating, and then his fans spotted us together on more than one occasion created yet another uproar. All I have ever wished and prayed for was a silent, peaceful school life with me lurking in the background and nobody to disrupt that kind of peace. I knew Poseidon and his squad was trouble the moment I walked in, and they literally put off that wish like a cold breath on a candle flame. Now my name was on every tongue around Rhodez. “You don’t date Sebastian and expect it not to be a big deal. The man is literally every girl’s dream of this place. And now the boys have joined in.” Those had been Henry’s words when I asked why the hell weren’t people leaving me alone. And that dating Sebastian wasn’t such a big deal. O
PIERRE POV“Call me if you need anything okay?” Sebastian mused as he placed a soft kiss on my head before massaging my cheek, the rough pads of his thumbs grazing my skin and rekindling the current inside of me. “I’ll just be outside.” He completed, then straightened up. I chanced a look at my mom who had a straw in her mouth, with her eyes snapped wide as she watched the exchange between me and Sebastian. “Ade.” Sebastian referred to mom, and she grinned, “Yes, son?” She placed the cold tea on the table in front of her.“Please take care of him.” Sebastian padded her shoulder, and redness crept onto my face as he padded her shoulder before walking off, my mom’s eyes following him. “Is there something you want to tell me?” She tilted her head to the side, regarding me wholly with a sheepish grin on her face. Could she be a little reserved? “Actually…” I cleared my throat, inching to the edge of my seat. “There is.” I intoned, and she almost jumped out of her seat. “When did y
POSEIDON POVQuincy Bay. Memories of Sebastian and I driving here after stealing the car keys from the main office flooded my mind. It all seemed an eternity ago but the memory was still fresh in my mind, and it lived rent-free there.The workers were able to track the car and they found us here throwing rocks at each other with no car in the world. We were grounded for a week after that, after my dad looked me in the eye and told me he would whoop my ass so bad I would not recognize my own reflection in the mirror. I didn't understand why he was so mad about us stealing the demo car. And the fact that it had been a demo car was what accelerated the whole thing. We were young and stupid, and I missed all those days.I remember Romeo and Elon climbing up the tree beside my bedroom to sneak in and play with me, then running to Sebastian's and playing as well. Man those were the good days. I mean, yeah, it was just 7 years ago, at least we did not have girl problems and ran at the idea
PIERRE POV “Care for a little ride?” Sebastian’s voice was just a whisper above a purr as he took my hand in his, looping his fingers with mine and holding me in a tight grip before navigating through the throng of students, me trailing behind him like a toddler.We had fallen into our little routine of him picking me up after every class and flaunting me around like some sort of prize. I didn’t know how to feel about it at first, but the idea of being acknowledged and not regarded as a dirty little secret was far more revivifying than anything I have ever known. It was so freeing to finally be that little piece of something that fits in the puzzle of society, instead of being a triangle and trying to fit into a square. And all it took was some serious acknowledgment instead of being shunned and called names.With time, I found myself relaxing more around him, because his energy was just too impossible to resist. He was the calm kind, the one you would run to whenever you had problems
POSEIDON POV You don’t deserve him, Poseidon.Let him go, Poseidon. Your love will only bring him pain.Why the hell couldn’t I just be left alone in peace? Why the hell was the world so against me loving freely? Did everyone sit down to think, even for a fraction of a second, that it hurt? Why was my love such a big abomination that everyone was on their feet ready to trample it until it was but particles of dust beneath their feet?There was no denying it now. And I would only be a fool if I continued denying my true feelings. I was in love with Pierre Blanc, and the idea of letting him go kept me awake at night. I didn’t know when it happened, I didn’t know when it was when I took a dive into my feelings and my heart accepted him, and now when I was only realizing it, everyone wanted me to let him go.Was that fair? I know I didn’t carry the kind of courage that Sebastian glowed in, I knew I was a coward who hid beneath hateful words, but that didn’t make my love for HIM any
