Cold Love - S01 E05

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 5

The next day, my alarm rang continuously. I hit the alarm breaking it in the process.

I woke up late, yawning, I slept pretty late yesterday. I quickly went to take my bath and dashed out of the house.

This time around my mum didn’t call me, that is how she does when she is angry at me.
I’ll take care of that when I get back from school.

I remembered calling Jane yesterday asking her about the time Eric and his friends usually come to school, which she told me was 9:00am.

Eric is going to know who I really am today, getting to the school I saw him sitting down near a fountain and his friends standing close to him.

I am really late; can I still carry out my plan? I looked up and our eyes met, he just smiled at me.

“What? after what he did yesterday, he could still smile. I will show him who I am”
ERICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC. I shouted
With that I ran towards him and flew in air giving him a powerful kick in the face that sent him flying backward as he landed on the floor with his face down.

All eyes were on me and I was happy, he got what he deserved.

Some were taking pictures while others were videoing it, that’s why I love higher institution.

I smiled, just visualizing how the news will be on the school board, the almighty A4 leader been beaten by a girl.

I just can’t wait to see it.

But Wait, why is he not moving?
Is he embarrassed that I kicked him in the mist of the crowd or, wait

I gasped, as the idea of him been dead hit me.

No, he can’t die…. people were already rushing to him.

The stares were getting too much so I left the place and went to the lecture room.

ERIC POV
I woke up, and saw I was wrapped with a cloth, like an Egyptian corpse.

“What!” I looked up to see my friends laughing at me.
“Welcome back from the dead, man” Leo said laughing
“What! Dead? ” I asked, I then remembered what happened as the event played in my mind like a movie.
:
I was sitting down near the fountain at the school when I saw Amy coming towards me.
We locked eyes and i smiled at her, maybe she wants to apologies to me.

But before I could look up I heard her scream and when I looked up, well that’s when I blacked out.

“What happened?” I asked
“You got your face kicked by a girl” Leo said.

Why was he happy about my accident?

“What, my face. That’s the part of my body I cherished most apart from my face” I said touching my face.

“Where is my mirror” Come on guys, how could you let her do this to me?

“You got what you deserved man” Max said
We can’t miss this, let’s take a photo of this, they all said coming to me as they took the photo.

I was still wrapped so I couldn’t do anything.
:
“Guys help me unwrap this thing” I pleaded, but my pleading fell on deaf ears as they kept laughing.

“Suit yourself, get yourself out of there yourself, we are not helping you” Joe said as all of them moved out of the room.
“Hey” I called

I stood up from the chair hopping around to get rid of the cloth I was wrapped in.
“F--k you Amy, I cursed” as I couldn’t get the cloth I was wrapped in off.

I guess I got what I deserved, I shouldn’t have done that to her and left her there. I will apologies to her and buy her a new phone.

“Mr. Brian” I called the guard who quickly rushed up to me.
“Sir, you called me”

“How many times have I told you not to call me SIR? For Christ sake you are old enough to be my father, just stop it okay”

“Sir, madam said to call you sir or master” I have to do it or I lose my job which I use to cater for my family.

I was touched by what he said, but I don’t like him calling me Sir, he is old enough to be my father.

It feels awkward being called Sir. I turned to him
“Mr. Brain, apart from the money you are being paid, I will be giving you half of the amount you get as your salary to cater for your family” I could see the expression of shock, joy, happiness he had on his face.
“Thank you master, God bless you sir”

Geez, he is still repeating the same mistake
“But only on one condition” I said while he knelt down
“I will do anything Sir, just name it” he said

“The condition is that you won’t call me sir again, you call only call me my name” I said while he became sad

“But what if ma……”
“You can only call me Sir when she’s around, okay”
“Yes Sir.. Sorry Yes Eric”
“That’s good”

“Later I want you to bring the girl in this photo to me” I said stretching the photo of Amy to him.

I know you are probably wondering how on earth I got her picture; well that’s a gist for another day.

“Okay Eric, I will bring her to you later as requested”
“That’s all, take care of the rest, you can go” I said while he saluted and went to his duty post.

“Well, I will give Amy her phone and warn her not to cross path with me again”

For now I have to deal with those stupid pictures that were taken when she kicked me to an unconscious state.

Sitting of the couch, I picked up my phone dialing a number as I sipped the wine I took for my bar in the house. He is a genius and can get the whole pictures wiped out of existence. This not the first time I have told him to do that for me, not even my friends or I know him, and he calls himself “GHOST CLEANER”… …
