"But, as always she came back to me as I went back to her" "one day we don't have to sneak out to be with each other, not worry about others, we will marry in the same church where I first time felt something for you, we would move into our own house, with a swimming pool in the backyard and a beautiful garden, we will bake cookies together and prepare food, I will sing songs for you all day, I will do all the work when you are pregnant, I will bring everything you need, I will pamper you like a baby before our babies born,"
Vincent POV
"Bro, Valerie on your left side." Axel spoke while looking at the left side of our school's parking lot. I slowly turned my head towards the left side to see Valerie.
She is with her gang, laughing when her best friend Paul leaned down to share a personal joke. I hate that kid with every bone in my body. I pulled the cigar to my lips and took an inhale and exhaled the smoke while glancing at them. She looked lovely as always taking my breath away every time she laughs.
In school to everyone, we both are childhood rivals and neighbours who can hit each other when we are in the same room.
That's true, that we used to fight a lot and hate each other but that thing changed when I was in ninth grade. I feel in love with her, she is the first girl on whom I had my first crush.
But no-one knows about that. Except for my best friends, they treat her as their sister and she treats them as her brothers.
Adria, my Adria! I call her as Adria as it is her middle name. We both know each other from kindergarten, she is my neighbour and my mom's favourite girl which is why I used to hate her when I was a kid because whenever she comes to my home to play with my sister. My whole family forget about me. All they do is admire their favourite girl.
We both used to fight a lot, used to prank. I don't know how she changed from a tomboy to a beautiful girl.
The first time I felt something for a girl is when I saw her in a beautiful white frock holding the flower basket at her brother's wedding. She looked so beautiful with her hair left open.
I fell in love with her and started being good around her which she felt weird. I chuckled remembering that day. When she made a face when I helped her with groceries.
When other boys at school tried to talk to her all I used to see red, the next moment I see the guy who talked with her laying down with a broken nose.
As if she perceived eyes on her she peered into my direction. I gave her a small grin to which she smiled a little before looking away. My little Adria
She is a tiger and also a kitten. I love when she gets angry on me it's like the hidden tiger comes out. I love to irritate her just so to watch her fight with me. She is a junior, which I don't like at all as our class schedule will be different though she is in advance classes. My girl got brains and a dirty tongue which I only know.
Not everyone knows about us as we don't want everyone to know about us. We both belong to two different chains of the school system, Adria is one of the golden people of the school while I'm at the bottom of that chain along with my boys. It's not because I fight with everyone, the fact is I rarely talk with anyone, I don't like to speak with others other than Adria or my boys.
Everyone in the school fears me and my boys. We don't mingle with others and stay out of all the school activities. They know not to mess with us.
"It's time to attend the class." Axel said while pulling brad with him. I glanced at Adria to see her already staring at my direction.
I nodded my head, she smiled at me and walked away before anyone sees us.
"I don't understand why you both behave like strangers in the school?" brad questioned looking at Adria who is walking to her class.
"You know right Valerie's family is strict and they don't like Vincent. She is a junior and none in the school are friends with us. To top it vincent have more enemies. He doesn't want to risk Valerie's safety by making their relationship public." Axel stated. I smiled because the boys are like brothers. I know Axel and celeb from my childhood just like Adria, I met brad when I was ten years old. He used to stay in our house but shifted to his apartment in the tenth grade. Brad is very close to me, I'm always worried about him as that kid faced many problems when he was just a kid.
We four went to our classes, celeb is the merit one among us. He and Adria teach us the subjects when we have exams. We never cared about what the teacher is saying. We are here just for attendance sake.
When lunch rolled in, we went to the canteen. Our school's canteen is pretty good. We went to our table and I know everyone is observing our movements. This is the daily thing, they know not to mess with us but they are eager to know about our lifestyle and what we do.
I put on my sunglasses because we sit outside but we get a clear view of indoors. I looked at my girl who is eating her food without any care. She is always a foodie girl, brad and celeb went to the counter to bring food.
"You know it's creepy seeing you watch your girl with glasses on." Axel remarked teasingly.
"Shut up."
I saw the Paul kid approaching, he sat down beside Adria but today he sat imminent to her. The girls in the gang are saying something to Paul to do. Even brad and celeb eyed them while reaching to our table.
Brad raised a brow at me but they can't see my eyes. And all of sudden the Paul kid kissed my girl on the cheek making me stand up. Adria's wide optics met mine. I slammed my fist on the table shattering it.
Everyone turned their heads to our direction. I assailed out of there as my anger reached its peak, I don't like it when male species touch Adria and seeing him kissing her just fueled my anger. I saw Adria scolding that Paul kid.
"Love... Marriage... Family...Responsibility..." Oh, man! that's what I thought until it came crashing all my beliefs in one go. They said it's not mandatory that love comes first then comes marriage. It can be the other way first comes marriage then comes love... filling you like slow happiness in a desert of sadness. "We meet for a reason to fill the empty parts, to make it a little over the top, to try the filmy drama in a drama called life."

"Not every downfall is a downfall child; It is the beginning of a new era, new lives, new kingdom and most importantly a bloom of rose!" "There is no death for a monster like us."
"I've warned you from the beginning. Don't marry him, but you won't listen." Darcy stood close to me and smiled with concern. "You're not a woman worthy of a man as handsome, rich, smart, and virile as Blaze." My whole body trembled at her words. "Have you no shame?" I asked. "Take a good look at yourself, Heather." She stared at me in the mirror. "You can't even glance at your ugly face. Do you think Blaze can endure a lifetime of gazing at that scar?" Heather Bailey got a surprise from her husband: a divorce agreement. After a year of marriage and facing ups and downs, she couldn't believe Blaze intended to divorce her. She was devastated when she saw him gazing lovingly at another woman. After signing the divorce papers, shockwaves caught her up. Her flower shop was burned to the ground. Her father's company collapsed, and her parents blamed her. She struggled to rebuild her life from the ground up and became more successful than ever. Having many customers from influential families, she started her revenge on Blaze. She won the very thing he wanted, but that was just the beginning.
