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
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
***WARNING!!**** This chapter contain a little age rated content, please read at your convinence THANKYOU CHARLES POV"Crimson please open the door, at least say something, please!!","I'm not sorry for what I did or said but I'm sorry for giving you a shock like that". 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
CRIMSON POV Never for once did I ever imagine a day like this would come when I would be so eager to get back to school, but here I was standing at the walkway of my house, waiting for my cab to the airport, with my fully loaded luggage I had packed down for days now. When dad returned the tension between Charles and I was still very much present but we took it upon ourselves to make it lack visibility. Luckily enough for us dad suspected nothing and he even gave me little to no university lifestyle coaching lesson like he always did when it was time for me to return. I wasn't sure why the insecurity he always had while sending me off to school was absent but it speared me the sermons and survival hacks so i'm kinda grateful to whatever soothed his overly worried mind. "Crim I am heading to the airport, let me drop you off" there it was again, that voice I desperately tried to avoid, "It's fine I already booked a cab and its prepaid". I would rather run the tracks to the airport
