Nicole“Yeah, she's," he said again, not even giving a second glance to the fidgety man."Alright, I'm leaving her in your care now, Mr. Principal. And hey, make sure your students don't go snooping around my stuff," he said, a hint of warning in his tone."Yeah, sure, I'll make damn sure nothing and nobody messes with her," he said, wiping his sweaty hands before extending them for a handshake.Seeing Marcus hesitate to shake those sweaty hands, I decided to save the principal some embarrassment.I stepped in, took his hands, and gave them a quick shake before letting go."Well, I'm outta here, Nicole," he said, planting a kiss on my lips and then turning around. His eyes scanned the crowd with a hint of intimidation.His hand grazed my neck, his fingers brushing against the hickeys.His intentions were pretty damn obvious - he was marking his territory for everyone to see.The girls around us couldn't help but gasp in jealousy as they witnessed Marcus' over-the-top display of affect
NICOLE I fell flat on the floor when I couldn't move my legs anymore, my breaths were stifled and tears fell from my face from the intense feeling of pain.Mia walked in at that moment and saw me sprawled on the floor unconscious.The bag in her hands dropped in shock, I was carried out of the room by Mia.Two hours laterI fluttered my eyelids, taking in the unfamiliar sight of the ceiling above me.Wait, this isn't my room, my mind quickly registered.A wave of reality washed over me as the strong scent of antiseptics filled my nostrils.Memories of the incident flooded back into my consciousness.I had blacked out, and the next thing I knew, Mia was by my side, holding a hot bag in her hands.She had found me unconscious on the floor and rushed me to the hospital.A surge of relief washed over me, and the pain in my stomach seemed to have dulled significantly."Mia, Mia," I called out to her from the bed where I lay, eager to see her and express my gratitude.Mia rushed to my side
NICOLE I asked him, "So, how long are you gonna be MIA?" He responded with frustration, "I don't know, Nicole. Most of the time, you won't be able to contact me. We've got a guard and other security assigned to the house to keep you safe."He went on, giving me a bunch of instructions, "Just listen to whatever Mia says and make sure you're back home before sunset, alright?" I nodded, going along with his plan."Take care, okay?" I said, getting up from the bed and giving him a tight hug. He stepped into the cloakroom, breaking free from the hug, and then walked out, all dressed out in black.He transformed into a whole new person, like a total badass. The gentle vibes from earlier were replaced by a fierce and intense aura.He stood in front of me, then leaned down and planted a passionate kiss on my lips. It wasn't just about lust this time; it was a heartfelt expression of love, with so many emotions behind it."I love you, Nicole," he declared before turning to leave the room.
NICOLEI was completely bewildered as to how he managed to track down Marcus and me. It seemed likely that someone at school must have given him Marcus's address, perhaps one of the students or even the principal. I had kept my own address a secret, so nobody knew where I lived.“Please ask him to leave. I don't want to see him," I pleaded with Mia, already frustrated.She swung the door open, and there stood Zayn, looking like a mess with his tousled hair and all.“Security!" I shouted from the dining room, annoyed as hell.“How could you just let anyone into the house? Is this how you do your job? Haven't you been explicitly instructed not to allow anyone inside?" I scolded."I'm sorry, ma'am," the male security guard apologized.“Just escort him out, and make sure you don't make this kind of mistake again, or else you'll be fired," I sternly warned him before turning away and retreating back into the house.Mia swung the door open, and there was Zayn, poking his head inside and p
NICOLEMia, have you seen my textbook anywhere?" I searched my bag over and over again, I was so sure I put it in, ah no, I couldn't leave without it. What do I have to lay reference to?"Is it that anatomy one?" She asked me as she clicked away on her phone, seemingly unbothered."Yes that one. I thought I put it in my bag." I sighed heavily as my fingers ran through my hair. Anatomy was my favorite.I froze after realization hit me like a brick, what the hell?!"Did you just speak?!" I could only Jump so far in the car and I was sandwiched to the door. She dropped her phone to look at me and nodded, "I thought you were mute!!" Too many crazy things happening today."Yeah I am mute, only when I want to be." She went back to her phone like nothing had happened."But why?" I moved closer to her, I wanted to know her reason."To avoid unnecessary conversations with people." Her expression was deadpan and I choked on a laugh. That explained it. She was pretty and from the looks of it, not
NICOLEMia and I then went to a nearby bakery to have some bread and sweet chocolate milk. The sweet aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the air, enticing our taste buds.Hmm! Yummy!My stomach growled at the aroma, and Mia and I laughed at how funny it was.The bell chimed softly as we entered the cozy little shop, greeted by the comfort of the surroundings.Mia's eyes sparkled with excitement as she glanced around, taking in the colorful display of pastries and cakes that lined the shelves.We made our way to the counter, where an array of bread and a variety of beverages were waiting to be devoured.“Hi and welcome, what can I get you both?”, The friendly bakery attendant greeted us warmly, ready to fulfill our cravings.“Chocolate banana bread!”,“Okay, I'll be right back, kindly wait for a few minutes while it gets ready,” the attendant said then disappeared to get our orderAs we waited for our order to be prepared, Mia kept glancing at her phone, so I playfully snatche
MARCUSI watched Nicole sleep soundly, her head on my chest, with little snores. I chuckled, knowing she was exhausted. I wanted to record how she was snoring on my phone because I knew she was going to argue with me when I told her she was snoring.However, I decided against it, realizing it would only make her angry.I closed my eyes and tried to sleep, but it wasn't coming. What Nicole had explained to me still lingered in my mind.That Zayn guy smelled like trouble.He clearly knew that Nicole was taken, yet he was adamant about going out with her, to the point that he started following her.I love Nicole so much, and if anyone tried to mess with her, I would handle the situation.Gently lifting Nicole off my chest, I laid her properly on the bed. She shifted a bit, and I paused, not wanting to wake her up. Seeing that she had fallen back asleep, I stood up and made my way to the closet.I needed someone to talk to. Deciding to visit the bar Nicole had mentioned, I remembered the
NICOLE “Please, what are you all insinuating that my woman is a thief!?” Marcus' voice boomed through the hallway. His nose flared and I could tell that he was angry.“Why then is my diamond in her bag? Why?” The woman whose name was Mrs Lockwood shouted.I was stunned for words and couldn’t speak. How the diamond got to my bag was beyond me.Every eye in the room was on me. Some were judging me already and whispering amongst themselves.“It has to be a mistake somehow, I won’t allow you to insult her. She clearly knows nothing about the theft”, Marcus said.My head was spinning. This was clearly a set up. Marcus and I had been in our room all day enjoying an intimate moment together. The only time we went out was when we had to go to the lounge downstairs.“No, gentle man, your wife here is nothing but a thief, if I hadn’t noticed earlier she would have escaped with it” Mrs Lockwood saidUnable to contain himself any longer, Marcus stepped forward, his voice cutting through the roo
