**CHAPTER THIRTEEN**
**********
“Hey st©p crying will you?” Richa-rd said, ru-bbing her back
“Don’t leave me and don’t betray me” she said, looking up at him
” I won’t, I can’t” he replied, wiping her tears
He saw an emotional side of her today and it’s quiet,…. Cute
About Ace, questions about him will be at night
They stayed in each other’s arms for over ten minutes, not moving in inch till Snow dis£ngaged
“I love you very much” she said
“If I love you can kill, I’d probably be six feets below the ground by now…. ..” he replied
She smiled un-bu-ttoned the first bu-tton of his shi-t, revea-ling his manly che-st, she k!$$£d his che-st and did back the bu-tton
“Can we go home now?” He said
“Yes babe” she replied, taking her bag
They left for home and Richa-rd did a lot of job in keeping her lively so she won’t have to think about bloody Ace again
No one nee-ds to tell him it’s her ex..
Dinnertime**
“Snow, I really nee-d to ask this, you’re ok right?” Mr White suddenly said
” I’m perfectly fine, why?” She said, oblivious of why her dad asked such a question
“I mean, I felt the nee-d to glance at your room this morning and shockingly!, I mean, shockingly!, It’s all tidied up, Snow you’re changing and I’m just so glad” he said
” So you saw it too, I can’t be more happy, she’s changing, thanks to someone” Evelyn replied, staring at Richa-rd who’s not looking up
” Someone?, Who?” Mr White asked simultaneously with Snow
“Time Will tell” Evelyn replied
” I’m sorry but, Pinky is not here” Richa-rd said, finally looking up
” That br@t has been in her room since she c@m£ back from school, I dunno why, maybe she had another fight with Snow” Mr White said
” Me?, No, it’s been long since we fought, and didn’t you notice her mood Changed since dinner on Saturday?” Snow said
” Is something wrong with her?” Evelyn said
*I’ll go meet her” Snow said, standing up to go upstairs
“I think I’m full” Mr White said, standing up too, he went upstairs
Richa-rd stood
“Thanks” Evelyn suddenly said
“Why?” Richa-rd said
“Just feel like thanking you” she replied and stood, going upstairs too
” Why do I feel uneasy?’ he asked himself…

” Hey you’re crying” Snow said, standing by Pinky’s door, she can hear her loud cries from inside, she locked her door, preventing anyone from entering
“I want…to…be .. alone.. plea-se” Pinky said in a muffled tone
” I can’t leave, you just have to open the door and tell me what’s wrong if I’m really your big sis” Snow replied
“no, you don’t have the solution to my problem” Pinky replied
” But I can soothe you, just open the door alre-ady” Snow said insistently
Minutes later, the door c@m£ open , revea-ling Pinky, you’ll think she’s a ghost, her face is all red and swollen with tears all over, even her eyes are not left out of the redness
“What in the holy hell happened to you?, Why are you like this” Snow said, going in with her
She has finished a roll of tissue in wiping her tears , she’s on the second roll
“Pinky talk to me” Snow said, holding her shoulders
“He’s not picking my calls, this is hundredth time I’ll be calling him, he’s not picking up, he hates me now, Snow he hates me” Pinky replied, shedding more tears
” My little sis is in love?, Really?” Snow said and smiled
She made her sit on the be-d and sat In front of her
“Look Pinky, maybe he nee-ds time, … Wait, the guy in question, does he love you?, Like, do you feel he does? ” Snow asked
” I dunno, all I know is that he was all friendly and that, then I thought he likes me, I planned to pl@yha-rd to get, I ignored him, ignored his calls, gave him silent treatment and avoided him” Pinky rushed
” What!, ha-rd to get my foot, ha-rd to get when you like him?, You obviously brou-ght this upon yourself, like how many times does he call per day when you were ignoring his calls? ” Snow asked
” More than eighty times” Pinky replied
“OMG he obviously likes you!, And even if you ignore his calls, he still tries to talk to you in school but you ignore him? ” Snow said
Pinky only sniffed
” You made a great mistake, these days Pink, though it’s ha-rd but if you like a guy and can’t keep it in anymore, just tell him, even if he won’t accept you, at least it’ll help you get him off your head” Snow said
” I know I made a mistake” Pinky replied
” The only remedy is apologizing to him* Snow said
“Will he forgive me?” Pinky asked
“Of course, I mean.. if he still loves you, he’ll forgive you and might even end up giving you your first k!ss” Snow said
Pinky t©uçhed herl-ips
“don’t be silly, just beg him, no one can resist the White’s” Snow said
Pinky smiled
“thanks so much big sis, I love you a lot” Pinky said and hvgged her ti-ght
“Actually I can’t tell this to our parents yet but I feel like telling you, I’m scared” Snow said
” Of what? ” Pinky asked
” What’s gonna happen next week, actually Ace called” Snow said
” What the hell!, Why will that bastard call, it’s been four good years since he left without a goodbye, we all thought he’s a saint then, but unknown to us he’s a bad, insane, mad, bloody, crazy, bit-chy, trashy as-s-hole! ” Pinky said, venting her anger at no one in p@rticular
“Calm down Pinky, the problem now is that I’m alre-ady in love with someone else, and you know dad, he has always loved Ace, Ace will just Sugar coat words for him and I’m sure he’ll believe, I can’t lose Richa-rd , I’ll die” Snow said without realizing
“Which Richa-rd are you talking about? ” Pinky said
” Oh… Geez!, Ok ok, same Richa-rd you know” Snow replied
” OMG big sis!!! ” Pinky exclaimed,
Snow had to cover her mouth
“Shut it before I cut it off” she threatened
Pinky stood
“Ok fine, but who won’t be surprised?, I’m fv¢king surprised!, I mean, ” I hate commoners!, Commoners don’t deserve to live!, All bloody commoners should die! ” She said, mimicking Snow’s voice
Snow laughed
” I must have been stupid those times” she said
“No, you were actually very very stupid” Pinky replied
Snow threw a pillow at her and she ducked
” No wonder you’re changed, your room is tidy also, when I checked it just maybe I can laugh today, I almost fainted that it’s all clean” Pinky said
” Silly, all thanks to him, you’re right” Snow replied
“Well who won’t fall for him, despite the way you treat him, he still remains respectful, loyal and caring, and above all, he’s just too handsome” Pinky said
” I know right?, I refuse to imagine myself without him” Snow replied
” I wanna ask something” Pinky said, sitting beside her
“Sure” Snow said
“Can two sisters marry two brothers?” Pinky asked
Snow laughed
” You think you’re still in the tenth century? , Come on girl, this is the twenty first century,st©p being a prehistoric, uncivilized caveman” Snow said
” So?”
” It’s possible, it once happened in our family, do you know Aunt Linda, mum’s Junior sis?” Snow said
” Of course” Pinky replied
” Her late husband is dad’s junior bro” Snow replied
” Wow!” Pinky exclaimed
” Yes, if there’s love,then it’s cool, but why did you ask?” Snow asked
” It’s nothing” Pinky replied, standing up
“Ok, now can you go eat?, And prepare to beg your crush tommorow?” Snow said
” Sure, and about Ace, I have nothing to say than you should be careful, I can’t help but notice you’re easily deceived, don’t be deceived by Ace when he comes back, and it’s you who shouldn’t hurt Richa-rd , I won’t forgive you if you do” Pinky said
” It can’t happen” Snow replied
“Pinky promise?” Pinky asked
“Pinky promise” Pinky replied as they linked their pinky f!ngers

Night**
Snow layed on t©p of Richa-rd in his room as usual, the silence is Killing though both have a lot to say and ask
Richa-rd kept thinking about what Ace said to her that made her get emotional like that
Snow kept thinking about how to break the ice…
“Snow… Richa-rd ..” they both said at the same time
Snow sat up and he did the same
“What did Ace tell you over the phone the other time?” He asked Straight
She held his hands before talking
” He said he’s coming home, he’s my..
” Your ex, I know” he interrupted
“Em… we’re kind of… engaged before he travelled four years ago” she broke the news
” What!’ Richa-rd said
“Rich…
” You didn’t tell me, you should have told me, this is not so good Snow” he said, looking at her somehow
” Richa-rd ….you can’t change your mind cos of this minor thing you know” she said
” It’s not minor Snow, engagement means a lot, so far you exchanged rings” Richa-rd said
” I threw away that fv¢king ring, I flu-shed it in the WC since the first day I k!$$£d you” she replied
” It doesn’t matter, you signed in court” Richa-rd replied
” When he comes, we’ll both go to court and renounce the engagement I promise you” Snow said
” Snow even at…
Snow k!$$£d him before he could finish but he broke it
“Snow try to un-derstand, this is exactly what mum is fearing, and you know when she called today, she told me she’s still not in support, I’m honestly scared, I don’t want any problem for my family” Richa-rd said, looking away
Snow stood and knelt I’m front of him on the be-d
She tried to turn his face to herself but he stiffened his n£¢k, ma-king that impossible
“Richa-rd plea-se look at me, Richa-rd plea-se” she pleaded, k!ss!nghis n£¢k
He never bothered
“Baby plea-se, I love you very much, you can’t change your mind you know, you can’t, plea-se look at me I beg you” Snow said, k!ss!ngthe side of his face
” Richa-rd you’re all I have, you changed me and I’m just happy with the new me, if you leave me, I know I’ll be miserable,you don’t want that do you?, I promise nothing will happen to you and your family, I promise, plea-se just spare me a glance, you know I love you a lot” she pleaded
Richa-rd badly wants to look at her after hearing those words but fear Won’t let him
Ace..that name itself sounds dangerous
Snow got down from the be-d and opened her be-dstand drawer,she brou-ght out a bottle of Nobles wine and opened it
“Then I’ll drink this” she said
Richa-rd looked up and saw her
He jumped down from the be-d and gr@bb£d the bottle from her
“Are you crazy!’ he said, almost shouting
“how can you keep this when it’s dangerous to your health!” He continued
” Yes I’m Crazy, crazily in love with you, and I had to keep this here so you will know I’m not joking, Richa-rd plea-se don’t leave me” she said, hvgging him again
Richa-rd inhaled ha-rd and placed the bottle on t©p of the stand
He held her face
“I’m sorry I behaved like that, I was just scared for my family” he said
” I promise full protec-tion, trust your baby” she said
He smiled before connecting theirl-ips, k!ss!ngher hungrily till they fell on t©p of each other on the be-d…

Next day, Elite high**
Drake is walking into the school with Bentley when Pinky appeared before them
“Bentley, I think I’ll have to steal him from you for now” she said
” Ok buddy, see you in clas-s” Bentley replied, leaving for clas-s
” What?” Drake asked, trying ha-rd to make his voice sound cold as ever…
Pinky swallowed ha-rd before pu-lling his hand into a corner…
“Drake I’m sorry” she said pleadingly
“For?, Not picking my calls?, Not talking to me?, Ignoring me?, Giving me silent treatment?, Avoiding me when when I tried to talk to you?” He said, pouring it out all at once
” I know I’ve hurt you de-eply, and I’m de-eply sorry that I tried to pl@yha-rd to get even when I am not sure of how you feel about me yet, Drake, just find it in your heart to forgive me” she pleaded
” It’s not that easy” Drake replied, still pretending
de-ep down his heart is much joy
“I know, you can decide not to forgive me this instant, I’ll wait” she said
He kept mute, looking at her
” We’ll see in clas-s” she said and turned to go away but he gr@bb£d her hand
“Don’t go” he said
“Why?” She asked
He took her to the base of the stairs and pinned her to the wall
They stared at each other for so long, their hearts beating wildly,it can be heard
“Do you love me?” He asked Straight
Her heart skipped a beat but she decided to speak the truth
“Yes, I love you madly, what about you?” She said, staring at his handsome face
He continued staring at her before leaning in and taking in herl-ips in a warm k!ss, she responded, holding onto the back of his n£¢k
He broke it and looked de-eply at her, both breathing heavily
“Is this enough for an answer?” He said
She looked at him with a big smile on her face for a while before reclaiming hisl-ips in another k!ss….
