Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 40

∆ LINDA’S PARTY ∆

Pierce pulled her into his arms and hug-ged her before she could do a thing.

Francis who had been dancing with Alice saw this and was about to go to them when she pulled him back.

“Give them time to talk” Alice said.

“But he’s hugging her, Pierce still feels some thing for her” Francis said which got Alice starring at Pierce.

“He does but I think that’s him saying goodbye to the feelings he has for her” Alice said.

“Goodbye?”

“Yes and don’t worry, if you still want to know what they are saying, I can always eavesdrop for you” Alice said.

“Right! You can listen in on people’s conversation” Francis said chuckling down at her.

“Yes and one more thing, put your trust in Joanna. She loves you and wouldn’t do a thing to hurt you” Alice told him which got him smiling brightly.

“I will keep that in mind” He added as they began to dance to the rhythm of the music.

“Why did you do that?” Joanna asked moving away from him completely.

‘”Am sorry, I just got caught up with the moment. I didn’t mean to do that,I just….I just wanted to convey my feelings to you for the last time” Pierce replied.

“What do you mean by its the last time?” She asked.

“Cause have decided to move on. Just like Francis said to me, you loved me too early and I realize it late. There can never be any hope for me again right?” He asked and she felt a pang of guilt seeing him sad.

“Pierce I…..”

“You don’t have to say a thing. Seeing you and Francis together yesterday made it clear to me that you really love him and If I love you like I claim, I should want your happiness which is with Francis” Pierce said making Joanna tear up a little due to his words.

“Gosh! I didn’t intend to make you cry ” Pierce said wiping the tear off her cheek.

“This shouldn’t be a sad farewell for us, it should be a happy one cause I want you to be happy with Francis while I try to be happy with some one else” Pierce said earning a soft smile from her.

“You will, you will certainly find some one who will make you very happy” Joanna replied which earned her a smile from him too.

“Have taken you away from Francis, you should go back to him now. I bet that he’s freaking Jealous now” Pierce said which got them starring at Francis who was enjoying his dance with Alice.

“I doubt he is. Thanks Pierce for clearing the air between us” She said giving him a swift hug.

” Nicholas just arrived, I will see you later” Pierce said ruffling her hair before going to meet Nicholas who arrived with Jessica making Joanna wonder why he isn’t with Mirabel and where’s Mirabel.

She thought as she pulled out her phone to call her friend when she heard her name being called, she turned to see Evelyn walking towards her with an Orange juice in her hand.

“Mind having a chat with me?” Evelyn asked softly.

While Francis occupied himself dancing with Jocelyn, Alice made her way to Pierce and she found him at the drink counter, gulping down brandy like it’s water.

Unknown to her, she let out a slow smile and went to join him.

“Hello there” she greeted and when he saw her, he looked away not bothering to acknowledge her greeting.

“There’s no use ignoring me” Alice said and when he was about drinking another glas-sof brandy, she took the glas-soff his hands.

“Its not the end of the world because you said your goodbye to Joanna” Alice said and that got him starring at her.

“Were you eavesdropping?” Pierce asked.

“Err, some thing like that” Alice said having a little smile on her face but that disappeared when Pierce banged his hand on the counter startling her.

The music which was blaring loud didn’t let anyone hear it and neither did it bring their attention on them.

“People like you makes me sick” he said starring at her with anger.

“And people who take out their anger on others make me sick too” Alice returned feeling angry.

“I thought you were feeling down and needed some cheering up but then I can see that you don’t…..”

“And why would I need someone like you to cheer me up? Why would I want that?” He said fiercely but looking calm with it.

“You are a jack as-sand let me tell you that with this stupid attitude of yours, you won’t have anyone by your side, you will be lonely and a lonely person ends up doing crazy things and…..”

“Shut up!” Pierce yelled pulling her by the head and towards him.

The glared at each other and when the silence became unbearable, Alice was forced to speak.

“You jerk, you crazy psycho, you…..”

“Shut up Alice, you really don’t want me to do some thing crazy” Pierce threatened still holding onto her head.

“Crazy? What do you intend to do? Will you hit me?” She said pushing at his chest.

“I don’t degrade myself to hitting a woman but I might in your case or better else, kis-sing you might just shut you up” He said and that got her feeling scared.

If this jerk kis-sed her, then her first kis-s will be stolen by him and…..

“Oh! So the thought of me kis-sing you had got you feeling scared? ” Pierce asked pulling her body into his while Alice tried to push him away.

“Don’t you dare kis-s me” she said hoping that he wouldn’t.

Pierce let out a slow smile and let his fingers trail her li-ps.

“kis-sing you might not be a bad thing but am not into girls like you. To be sincere girls who throw themselves at me have always been the least interesting, I always like doing the pursuit. So I can never and will never be interested in you” he said letting go of her even as he went back to his drink.

Alice stood there for a while watching him, she didn’t know why his words hurt but then she felt hurt. He had refered to her as an easy girl who would throw herself on any guy and she had only wanted to make him smile since he looked down.

“You will regret saying this to me” Alice said walking off.

She wanted to go off to somewhere to let her heart out cause she felt hurt but on hearing someone voice, she changed her mind.

The voice she heard was of someone who was crying and that person needs help, she thought as she went in search of Joanna.

*****

“What chat do we possibly have in common?” Joanna asked.

“A chat about Francis but first, have this drink” Evelyn said stretching the orange juice to her.

“Why should I accept that from you?”Joanna asked.

“Take it as a peace offering cause whether you believe it or not. Am here to make peace with you” Evelyn said.

“About Francis, I believe have done a lot of terrible things to warrant your hate and am very much sorry. I now realise that what you and Francis share is a real thing that not even a girl like me can ruin”

“And….” Joanna prompted.

“And have decided to give up pursing Francis. I should love myself more and not some one whose love will never be mine ” Evelyn said looking very sincere.

Evelyn has rehearsed her speech severally hoping it would be convincing to Joanna and now hearing her self saying it, it sounds convincing in her own ears, she thought wondering why she felt that what she’s saying to Joanna is the truth.

“Well am glad to hear that and I hope that you stick to your words and choose to love yourself rather than to chase after some one who will never love you back” Joanna said as she took the glas-sfrom Evelyn.

Evelyn hadn’t been expecting her to take the glas-sand now that Joanna had it in her hand, she felt guilty and wanted to stop her from drinking it but then she’s planned it with Linda.

If she wants Francis back then she’s got to do it and…..
