CHARLES POV Yesterday I got a handful of complaints and grumbling from Crimson all night long, despite the tough night I still had to wake up early to prepare for the days work. I planned on managing the vein branch over here, although it's one of the smallest branch of the vein empire allocated to one of my minor investor, I still needed to check it out since I was in town. After checking on business I planned on stopping by the university to check when my lectures would commence. As I was busy heating the breakfast I had just ordered, Crimson walked in. Her formally perfect bun was now a total disaster, she stretched out while yawning and her baggy top gave way for the sunlight to kiss her skinny legs, while her back arched forward making her n*pples stand in ovation. She moved towards the cabinet and grabbed a cup to drink water while swaying her head left and right like there was some music box inbuilt in her brain. She only realized my presence when I made way to turn off t
CHARLES POV I rushed back home after concluding all the unnecessary procedures that they deemed important. I had to ring the bell twice again before Crimson came to open it and this time around she made me spell my name before unlocking it, I should never had preached about door safety to her yesterday now she's punishing me for my consideration and sincere concern. The parlour smelt like cake and I knew why immediately I spotted Crimsons messed up apron. "What are you doing?", "cup cakes, I'm going to a party today, its a resumption party" she replied while rubbing her hands eagerly, admiring her work. " why would you take cupcakes to a school party, what are you?, three years old." her expression suddenly changed and she took a minute to think of my point. "who was the guy I saw you with at school?" her head immediately snapped up when I asked her, "it's none of your business and are you really serious about the university job?. " I mean who even employed you?" of course it
We arrived at the party and it was at that moment of entry I realized I fucked up. I should never had agreed to attended a party with a discreet location Brenna knows about, the fact that Lucas was the one giving out invitation should have even been my red flag. "Now look what I've got myself into" I said silently as I watched half baked youth walk around half naked with stripped versions of cloths and alcohols splattered over their bodies like sweat. The party was actually at an abandoned tunnel or better still a hideout, right below a functioning train station. To make things worst we had to run through the tracks before the next train smashed us smoothly like cheese. It was just like a club house but the fear of death or police raid was what replaced the fun I was meant to have. "You made it, you look cute" I heard Lucas say as he screamed over the loud music, "I made it here but I cant say the same about making it out" if only he knew how eager I was to sneak out of here in on
CRIMSON POV The day was really an awkward one filled with provocative encounters. In as much as I never want to relive the day, I still couldn't help but rewind the scenes of the day as I tossed around on the bed. I expected the day to start off normally just like it always did in the years past but the fact that I had attended the resumption party and gained some unwanted attention was limitation enough to my expectations. Just as I feared I got deadly stares as I tried my possible best to hasten through the walkways and into any random closet of solitude I could find. I mean for the first time in my four years of study at university I was fortunate enough or would I rather say unfortunate enough to have a conversation with a total stranger by the walk way. The girl just walked up to me and I thought myself lucky to get a 'Hi' from a random hot chick but those thoughts lasted up until she asked what my relationship was with Lucas, it was at that moment I wished teleportation was a
AUTHOR'S POV *********One month later******* As time passed by Crimson came to cope with the presence of Charles while Charles on the other hand was not ready to settle for Crimsons refusal to accept his proposed love. The classes had been going extremely well for all the female students except for Crimson of course. Just as expected every girl wanted so desperately to be noticed by Charles, even some of the guys had plans to change his sexuality. Life could have been exciting for him if only Crimson was part of the drooling multitude interested in him. As for Crimson she wanted nothing more than to end the year as fast as possible. It was torture enough for her to see girls flaunt themselves all over Charles but the fact that she was not ready to acknowledge her jealousy and the reason for it, made the torture even more severe. CHARLES POV It was finally another day away from school and heaven alone knew how grateful I was for such days. When I considered lecturing I put aside
CRIMSON POV After questioning the scars I saw on Charles body I was left with all the food I saw earlier on the kitchen cabinet and two days of total solitude. Charles left without giving me an answer as to where he got the scars from, he's been gone for two days now. Although he called to give a flimsy excuse for staying out, I knew for a fact that he was trying every means possible to avoid answering to my inquisitive mind. I thought his absence would give me a sense of comfort and a soothing peace from the silence but the solitude gave me little to no joy. I felt bored even though we rarely even spoke and making breakfast on my own made me realize how much help he's being. In just two days I realized how much importance his presence was and I could be angry at him or even ask for distance but I would never be able to bare it if he were to ever disappear again. I had to rush to school for an emergency lecture, to everyone else it was just another lecture but I didn't know about
CHARLES POV I knew Crimson won't stop asking questions as to where I got the scars from and I was most definitely not ready to give answers to any of her questions. I had no idea how I could bring myself to tell her all that happened during the five years I was away, I wasn't sure how she would look at me after hearing all I had done. I kept on thinking of the possibility that she would understand and forgive me once I explain what my situation was at that time but the possibility that she would condemn me and view me as a monster could not ignored. So I choose to escape. I knew running was not the best choice cause sooner or later reality would catch up with me but I still choose to ignore the truth and everything was going fine up until I received a call from Sandra. She said there was an urgent health issue she had to attend to and that she was in a hurry since her already booked session would soon start. She asked if I was available to swap classes with her for the day but she q
CRIMSON POV I always thought that the ideology of hearing a pin drop in a quiet room was nothing but an hyperbole created for emphasis and literary appreciation. That was my thoughts on the subject up until we got home after what happened between Charles and I in his office. The house have been completely silent to the point that one would think no one was even breathing within its walls. The size of the house made it impossible to avoid each other but even when we had few encounters no words were spoken, no sound made and no action attempted. If I had my way I would have taken the first rocket to Mars on a ten year vacation plan just to get far away from Charles. I could no longer comprehend what was going on between us, in the past we were siblings with a perfect relationship and then we became separated siblings longing for union. When we were finally reunited we progressed into siblings abhorring forbidden feelings but even at that time I had total control over myself, I knew w
