CHAPTER NINETEEN
My mind was all over the place and my whole body felt so numb. She told me she loves me.. she fucken told me she loves me.. what the fuck!
I was mad. Really mad.
But then I started to laugh at myself. Ms Louw was abover 25, fucken hot, beautiful, smart, amazing... why wouldn't she be married or even be in a committed relationship. Why the fuck didn't I think of that?
God! I felt so stupid and so dumb.
I quickly walked behind coach as we made our way to the ground. A hand suddenly pulled me and I turned to.... "Susan?"
"It's actually me..." Jasmine said next to my friend. I gave Susan a 'what the fuck' look and she shrugged, "she insisted"
"Hey..."
I smiled a bit, "hey.."
She checked me out without even being discreet about it. From my toes up to my face, she smiled when she saw me lookinh at her, "you always this h
VALENTIA'S POVIt sometimes seems so simple and so easy, just love hard and all will work out. Just give it your best, hold nothing back, be brave, be vulnerable, and everything will work out for you.Right?No, not really...Because you know that is not always the case. Because sometimes we can love someone with everything we have, and we can still get it wrong. Sometimes it just doesn't work out.So you ask yourself why do we then even take these chances? Why do we risk heartbreak and tears and sleepless nights, if we know that there's a small chance that we could get it all wrong?The answer is pretty simple...Because on the other side of rejection, on the other side of that moment you question if you should say something, there will be bravery from within that allows you to continue with words you might r
VALENTIA'S POVCONTINUATION FROM PREVIOUS CHAPTERI arrived in the kitchen, went to the fridge took a bottle of water and started drinking.I sighed, I needed to clear my head a bit. I couldn't stay here if my head was still this messed up.I took my car keys, headed to the garage and drove out.In need of clearing my head with any thought of Olwethu I decided to drive around. To be honest with you, I had no idea where I was driving to, but I kept on driving.I was startled when I started realizing my surroundings. I was parked at a very familiar street... it was the street away from Lin's house, where I usually drop her off if she took a ride with me.How the fuck I got here I wouldn't know. Last time I checked I was just driving around..I sighed and looked at her house. The lights were on and it was starting to get a bit dark. I sat there i
OLWETHU'S POVI looked outside the car as Jas drove us home. I felt like shit for the stunt I pulled. It made me feel a bit sick that I was doing this to Jas. But seeing them walk in there playing happy married couple just got to me.God!They truly looked very beautiful together and were like a match made in heaven. It made me sick."You okay pumpkin?" Jas asked and I sighed, "I'm okay Jas.. just tired.."She nodded and kept driving, "I had a great time today.""Me too Jas, thank you for really being here okay..it means a lot.""Oh I know..."I laughed, the way she was so cocky kinda reminded me of Valentia.Vee...Shit the woman!"You're so cocky..."She took my hand, "sue meeeee..."I laughed as she parked right outside my home. We stood there silently and looked at
OLWETHU'S POVIt was driving me a bit insane, having to look at her everyday and feel how I felt but never be able to call her mine or even kiss her. It was seriously driving me crazy.I wanted her, so so much, but how do I go about this. What would I say? 'look Vee I love you so much and I am willing to create this love triangle... I just can't do this anymore?' It was crazy right?I mean here I was sitting in class writing Life Sciences and being invigilated by my hot class teacher. It was frustrating. She'd pass by my chair as I wrote and I'd try by all means not to look at the ass I once touched.I wrote until I finished. There were about three of us who were now left in here and I wanted to take my time. This eas the only subject that gave me a harf time. So I couble checked my answers and when I was satisfied I went to submit my paper. She walked towards the door.
OLWETHU'S POVI arrived back home tired from the mall. You'd swear Susan was high. She wasn't as tired at all and she's gone into almost every shoot into that shopping mall and only came out with two jeans. I in the other hand was tired as fuck."Hey Lizzie... where are your parents...?" I asked since I walked in on my little sister watching a movie in the living room. She sighed, "in their room. And you have a friend over.""I'm with Susan.. which other friend could be here..""My Jazz duuuuuh..." she said with attitude.I furrowed my brows at Lizzie, the fuck was she getting this attitude from?But my heart sank at the thought of Jasmine here. Six days later she decides to pitch now! After that incident at that party where I blurted out that I was damaged. Jas has gone AWOL on me, but I didn't notice that much since Ms Louw... or should I say Vee kept me a
OLWETHU'S POVWaking up with warm hands and a body wrapped around me never felt this good. I smiled when her hand held tight on my waist."Vee...""Mhmm...""I have to go."She pulled me closer to her, "no..."I laughed, "baby I have to go please...""Olwethu can you just shut up and sleep, I'll take you to school..." she said making me laugh more.I laid there silently though and felt her breasts on my back. It just felt so good to be here with her.Like I started to imagine me and her like this maybe in the long run. Waking up to her almost everyday and telling her I love her everyday when I wake up or kissing her before she leaves for work.It was a good sight. A very amazing imagination, until I remembered that was just an imagination. That nothing like that ever will happen. She already had
OLWETHU'S POVHave you ever wished that you felt nothing for someone? Wished you never met them and wished just to have never existed in the same environment as then?Well, it was truly how I was feeling. I know meeting Valentia came as a blessing because it provided so much light into my life.. but it was a curse as much. How can something that makes you feel like you are on top of the world also make you feel like shit? Ohh yeah I know the answer to that.When I was growing up, my mom used to say, one should love but never love way too deeply unless they are very certain that the other person feels the same way... Because the dept of your love today is the dept of your wound tomorrow.. but then, how the fuck does one control how they love.Ever since I laid my eyes on Valentia I have been doing nothing but try to stop myself from loving her and I've been failing very hard.
Valentine's POVAfter seeing Lin with her family at that restaurant in Braamfontein on Saturday I couldn't thinj straight. How she looked torn was just killing me. I even ended up not enjoying the dinner, but I made effort and tried to be there...Sunday... Sunday was like a slap on my face. Worse when she told me she's now "fucking Jasmine..." I felt a little part of me shift. I felt my heart be torn. I mean was it insane that I wanted her to me and me alone.. Okay I know it does sound crazy since I'm married, but the thought of her with Jasmine or anyone for that matter... it just sent shivers down my back... I just didn't even want to think about it.But well it was hard. Very hard with Jasmine there touching and kissing Olwethu only the way I should be. It just made me sick. What made me sick more was how Olwethu immaturely handled everything. It was like she was throwing Jasmine right into my face.
OLWETHU'S POVHave you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you vulnerable, opens up your chest and heart for someone..and it actually gives them the power to destroy you and mess you up. You build up all these defences, you build up a whole suit of armor so that nothing can harm or hurt you, then one stupid person not different to any other stupid person just walts into your stupid life... you give them a piece of you, the most vulnerable piece of you. Which they didn't ask for. They probably did something stupid one day like kiss you or call your name in the most unique way or just smiled at you and suddenly, your life wasn't yours alone anymore.Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you up and leaves you crying at night, a simple phrase like 'we can't be, even if we tried' turns into the sharpest knife working it's way into your heart. It fucken hurts! Not just in the imagination, not just in the
VALENTINE'S POVI slowly watched her as she spoke and begged the principal not to do anything. But I knew deep down that she was just wasting her time, there was no other way out of this. What we did was wrong and I was going to be punished either way.I mean I could fight and try and lie about this, and say this isn't it and that it only happened once, but that would be a clear lie... and I wasn't in the mood to lie about what was the truth.I looked at the picture again, it was a very compromising position. Olwethu was sitting on my desk and I was in betweek her legs as she wrapped them around me. My left hand was holding her thigh wheres the right one was holding her breast. We were kissing..."Mrs Louw..." The principal said and I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at the three people in the room."Principal can I have a word with you... alone." I said and he sighed,
OLWETHU'S POVI was still trying to get my breath back and even my vision. I wiped them tears on my eyes and took in one breath.."Mom!!!!! Call the cops.. Mom!.. Vee wake wake up.. Veee" I yelled loud now and Sipho turned around to look at me, "so... you can talk now honey?"He then made his way towards me."Please Sipho don't do this..." I said looking behind him at the floor and seeing Vee move a bit."Why?""Because mom is calling the cops.."He laughed, "your mom...? Your mom and sister.. they are sleeping. I made sure of that..."I got up into a sitting position on my bed and spat on his face, "you are one sick and disgusting person... and I can't wait for the day where you actually get to pay for every fucken thing you did to me!"Valentia got up and indicated with her hand that I keep talking... She was
OLWETHU'S POVI opened my eyes slowly and she was right here cuddled up to me. I felt like I was dreaming. Last night felt like a dream. She almost cried.. she was emotional.God!I was way more emotional I even cried.I felt a bit empty, like I had given myself to her. She had all of me now and it was the most terrifying thing ever since well.. you know the circumstances we are in.I sighed and wondered what time it was now. I was sooo fucken lazy to move because I was definitely going to wake her up. She was so cute sleeping. Call me creepy, but darn I stared at her and smiled. Feeling thia rush in me.I loved Valentia there just was no any other way to describe this. With her I felt whole and complete.This was crazy strange.. how she walked into my life three months ago a bitch and today I couldn't go a day without thinking about her..
