Blind in love
*Part 14*
I stood by the bedroom door carrying a Lamp. Simon entered the room. I put the lamp back.
Simon:(Crying)Stop Nancy.
It was my first time seeing Simon crying. I dropped the knife.
Nancy: I just wanted to hurt them like they hurt me.
Simon:(Hugging Nancy)You are going to get arrested.
Nancy: It’s fine I don’t care. My life is over anyway.
Simon uncuffed Sizwe. Simon walked me home.
Simon:( Giving me his jacket)Put this on
I took it.
Simon: Nancy I am sorry for what they did to you. God will deal with them
I just kept quiet.
Simon:Talk to me.
Nancy: About what?I’m going crazy here. I go around scratching peo…
He kissed me deeply. The warmth of his lips enticed me.
Simon:I love you okay
Nancy:I love you too.
He gave me the warmest hug when we arrived. I went home and took a bath.
Simon called me.
Simon:Hey do you feel better now?
Nancy:Yeah
Simon:Sizwe and Kristen agreed not to lay charges.
Nancy:Ok
Simon:You better sleep we will speak tomorrow.
Nancy:I’m suspended didn’t your girlfriend tell you?
Simon:About Thando can we speak tomorrow?
I hang up. Fact is I love Simon so much. The next day I went to the park and I saw Thando and Kristen. He looked better. I called Simon to come to the park. He arrived and saw them kissing.
Simon:(Shouting)Thando!
She looked at us and approached us.
Thando:I can explain
Simon:Go on
Thando:He kissed me.
Simon:Why didn’t you pull back?
I left them arguing and I went to speak to Kristen. He looked scared.
Nancy: Kristen please forgive me for what I did yesterday
Kristen:(looking down)I’m sorry for raping you. I was just trying to fit in Sizwe’s
squad.
Nancy:(Smiling)Friends?
Kristen: Friends
I was so glad that he forgave me. We watched as they argued.
Simon:It’s fine I love someone else anyway
Thando:You will not break up with me. I will break up with you first. It’s over. Simon:(Picking Nancy up) I’m single now do you wanna go out on a wheelbarrow picnic?
Sizwe approached
