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
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
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
CRIMSON'S POV It had been a week since I got back home, it was a week filled with a rollercoaster of emotions. 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
CRIMSON POV Dale Carnegie once said "Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get." I had always been successful in most aspect of my life that I have gotten used to the feeling of success. Academic excellence was never an issue for me, I never lacked financially thanks to my every working dad and as much as I would love to play the pity party with a broken family card, I won't, cause love was never lacking in my scattered home. However if I were to recount the happiest memories of my life it won't be about the plenty success I had attained. The day I stood in my purple dress walking elegantly through the aisle would top the list of my happy chart. It wasn't something I anticipated or believed would happen, but it eventually happened and I couldn't be happier. It was the day Brenna was getting married and I got to be her bridesmaid, it was one of the happiest days of my life. I had always imagined alot of impossibilities just for the fun of it and
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
